WORK OF BULL ASSOCIATION
Missouri Organization Doubled In
Membership in Two Years Be-
cause Of Its Usefulness.

Two years ago the United States
Department of Agriculture and CO.
operating agencies organized a bull
association in Webster county, Mo-,
with 81 members. Now there are twice
that many members, due to the sue
cess and usefulness of the association.
Before the association was formed
there we're 1S bulls owned by the men
who afterwards Joined it. Upon the
formation Of the organization the num-
Der of bulls was reduced by two
thirds, because after the members had
been arranged into blocks, It was
found that six bulls were enough.
These were much finer animals, how
ever. Judging them by their money
value, the new ones were three or four
times as good rs the ones they re-
placed, since the average investment
per bull was SO before organization,
and S27G after
Yet, owing to the smaller number or
bulls needed under the cooperative mr.
rangcmcnt, the cost per farmer was
but little more. The members had on
the average $i371 invested in their In
fcrler bulls, while the superior bulls
owned by the association cost each
member only S53.i5. This $40 In
crease of cost per member meant n
5000 Increase of value In the indl-
vldual bulls from which they now

cialists Of the United States Depart,

size Of the backyard flock should be
at least 10 hens. Thus, each flock
would produce In year 100 dozen Of
eggs, which at the conservative value
Of 80 cents dozen, would be wort

BY keeping a backyard poultry foe
the family would nc only help In re

often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced b!

the fowls are fed largely upon vast,

HEARING ON THE CALDER
 COAL REGULATION BILL

Washington. Jan. 2I. - Pennsylvania anthracite producers who are lndepend- ent of the railroad corporations whicl control the bulk of production in the in- dustry, today put before the senate com nttee considering the Calder regula- ton bill, a statement indicating their willingness to take steps to meet all justi- led consumers complaints
 'sIhe record of the anthracite indus try ts that 1t has attempted to distribute coal equitably among users," the state mept as read by W. J. Thompson, repre- sentative of ap association of 1o4 coll lieries, declared. "Tt has attempted to modify prices to meet the views of the department of justice. It comes before the senate committee now-with the sug- gestion that tiff these lines of action are not sufficient, # will do whatever e.se may seem to be desirable, if the senate conmittee win indicate what further 1t believes should be done"
 Former Governor Curtis of Maine said the taxation provisions of the Calder bill, which would take up to ninety per cent. of brokerage fees charged on coal gales when they rise above set maxi I mum, would make it 'the most stupen-
 dpus aid to pTofteers ever devised." "As a coal man, I've no objections | he said, "but as citizen, I'm telling you what 1t will do."
 After some discussiCn. the committet
 adopted a motion by Senator Reed. demo
 crat, Missouri, extending the inquiry t | take in labor considerations and heil
 influence oa coal production costs. Both operators and union representa-
 tiyes were summoned to appear tomor
