LOOKS LIKE BANNER
YEAR WITH POULTRY
Women and Girls Are Sup
planting the Men Folks In
Running Chicken Farms

Auburn, May 22.-(Special.)- UNLESS
of the poultry industry in
Alabama is now well started on it's
banner year and it now seems that the
results will surpass even those ex-
pected by the most optimistic poultry
workers and specialists.
Taking advantage of the splendid OPP
portunities to turn poultry into a
greater money crop in the state, the
home demonstration agents in practi-
cally every county are promoting this
phase of agriculture, which has been
demonstrated over and over as capable
of doing much toward putting the BUSH
ness of farming on a cash basis.
By the combined efforts of the Eto-
wah county farm bureau and Mrs.
Diana B. Williams, home demonstration
agent, important steps have already
been put into practice toward the
Standardization and intprt> ement of
the quality of eggs and poultry in Eto-
wah county and late report from Mrs.
Williams states that they are still let
ting out pure-bred eggs and that they
will have more pure-bred chickens in
the county this year than ever before.
To relieve themselves of the burden
of carrying chicken boarders," the
farm women of Chambers county have
become enthusiastic about the culling
demonstrations conducted by Miss Eel
ma Gaines. home demonstration agent,
and Miss Gladys Tappan. poultry spe-
cialist of the extension service, and are
culling their flocks according to in
structions.
Preparing for the production Of bet
ter eggs the members of the Midway
Progressive club of Blount county,
under the leadership of Miss Esther
Barfield. have all taken the male birds
from the yards and are. therefore, pro-
ducing infertile eggs. which they hope
to market by parcel post and thereby
place on the market eggs of the very
best quality.

chant marine. Mr.. Farrell in the past
has earnestly spoken of the necessity
of maintaining and increasing our
fleet of merchant ships. We must do
that for one reason he has said, if we
are to keep al home the fright charges
1t has been upon freight charges that
Great Britain has relied for aid IN
creating an invisible trade balance
large enough to offset their adverse
trade balance represented by the diff
ference between her exports and i'm
ports. Mr.. Farrell believes that the
government should not be engaged in
the shipping business. 1t should aid
that business in reasonable ways ana
by adequate legislation. But the bust
ness itself should be left to private
ownership and management.
Mr. Schwab is of like opinion and
he so publicly stated on the day when
it was announced that Mr. Farrell was
to serve for a time as chairman of
the shipping board. Evi.d n =
ly Mr.. Farrell and Mr.. Schwab
both believe that with proper encour-
agement and the removal of certain
legislative restrictions our merchant
marine can and will be under success
full management by pirate interests.
DID ARUTTSCHMIDT FORGET!
The testimony which was given by
julius kruttschnitt, who is chairman
OF the board of the Southern Pacific
railroad, to the interstate commerce
committee of the Senate, is spoken of
here as being highly interesting and
sure to be of value when the commit
tee makes up its report upon the re-
suit of the hearings. Mr.. Kruttschnitt
went very little into generalities. He
knew that the committee wanted facts
and he furnished a vast amount of
facts for the committees considera-
ton. He said, however, one thing
which has caused some of his friends
in New York to wonder whether he
was not a little forgetful. He called
attention to the fact that the rates
charged for freight through the
Panama canal are low a compared
with railroad rates that a large amount
of freight had been diverted to the
water route. His own company had
lost millions in this way. He thought
that as the people were taxed for the
building of the Panama canal that in
itself created a sort of subsidy in ia
vor of the steamers. Mr.. Kruttschnitt
forgot, however, that however large
the subsidy, SO to call it, may have
struction of the Panama canal by
means of taxes, the government of the
United States subsidized the railroads,
with a single exception, which cross
the continent from the Mississippi
river and the Great Lakes to the Pa
cific coast. Millions upon millions OF

New York, May 22.-(Special.)-Be-
cause the statement has been made
that the balance against the United
States in April as represented by the
difference between exports and i'm
ports was s7,ooo,ooO, a superficial
judgment is made which expressed in
terms is this: At last our export trade
is collapsng and for the first time in
years in a single month the balance is
against US. This, however, is not the
view which is taken by those who
have given careful study TO the situa-
ton. For comparing imports exclusive
of gold with exports the balance Tor
the month in our favor was $4,000
900, but there was an excess OF gold
imports of s92000,00O. This imported
gold is so figured as to leave an APP
parent trade balance against us of
$1,000, 600 But this gold Is no part of
the actual trade carried on between
the United States and other nations.
although some of it may have been
used to pay for that trade. Whatever
be the purpose behind the exporting of
it from other nations to the United
States the fact remains that it does
not come as a commodity but as an
expedient.
The~April report of our foreign trade
does not seem to give any concern
our bankers and to our merchants.
They assume that the reason for this
falling off in exports is due chiefly If
not exclusively to the inability of 9TH
err nations to buy and pay for all the
American commodities of which there
lis great need. in other parts of the
world BY and by when facilities are
furnished by means of which Europe
and the rest of the world can pay for
Am erican purchased commodities our
export trade will show the result.
Probably foreign countries are now
paying as far as they can in gold or
they have bought in this country
Presumabl bly, some part of the gold we
have received has been used to liqui-
date debts or will be used for that
purpose. That is the understanding of
the meaning of the gold which ]. P.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New Orleans, May 22.-The trend OIL
prices in the cotton market this week
was anything but decided and fluctua-
tons were narrow, the range for the
week being only AZ to IS points. On
the prices were Is points down to nine
points up compared with the close of the
preceding week. July traded as high
as 12.H, fell off to 1216 and closed at
1925. In the spot department, middling
gained 10 points in the net results, clos
ing at l.75. A year ago middling closed
at 40.25.
The balance of the trading factors of
the week accounted for the narrow
price changes. The weather over the belt
was at once favorable and unfavorable,
there were favorable and unfavoraole
features in the foreign news and the
same thing might be said about reports
from textile centers Of this country, al
though on the whole. the trade was in
clined to look upon business among the
mills as making at least slight inn
provement. Sales of 10000 pieces of print
cloths in the Fall River market for the
week were regarded as encouraging, but
much of their effect was lost because OF
the claims of much larger business
doing which were not confirmed in the
official returns at the close of the week
The weather reports of the week in
dictated that over a considerable portion
of the belt the absence of rain fall and
seasonably high temperatures were fav-
orable for the crop work and develop
ment, but there was much complaint OF
poor stands, slow growth of plants and
practically every state in the belt re-
ported much planting yet to be accom-
plished. Toward the end of the week
large sections of Texas and Oklahoma
commenced to complain of drouth.
This coming week much interest Will
be centered in the first condition report
of the season, the May condition period
ending Wednesday. The figures from the
government will be issued on the second
Of June, and from Wednesday on it is
likely that private bureau estimates OF
condition will be numerous Most trad
ers have abandoned the idea that the
per ccntage of condition will be any
where near as low as the report of last
year on May 25 when the figures We're
GA Of normal, but the average trader
clings to the idea that the report will
be we'll under the ten year average for
May rs, of 1877. There will be no Satur-
day session this week, and the market
will not reopen the following week until
Tuesday morning because of the observ-
ance of memorial day on the Both.

public lands were donated to the
Northern Pacific railroad and the
Union Pacific The Southern Pacific
relied in great measure upon these
grants of public lands Some of them
contained unsupported riches which
have since been developed. Oil and
coal and minerals were discovered on
public lands granted to the railroads.
Some of these then unsupported re-
sources have yielded great wealth to
the railroads. The grant of public
lands to the railroads was subsidy
pure and simple and was so acknowl-
edged and unlike the money paid for
the construction of the Panama canal
did not involve taxation of any kind.
In the main, however Mr.. Krutt-
schnitts testimony, which set forth
the difficulties and embarrassments of
American railroads and the reasons for
these embarrassments is spoken of
here as being the most Illuminating
testimony upon the railroad situation
which has so far been given. 1t was
observed that Mr.. kruttschnitt did not
refrain from intimating that one of
the causes of the EN- barrassments and
difficulties of the railroads was the
method adopted by the government
when it was in direction and control
and in fact in potential ownership of

DAIRYlNG TOUR
Farmers, Business Men and

Pilgrimage
TO GET INFORMATION
Visitors Will Learn How Money
Has Been Made in Spite
of Dr0uth

Agricultural College, N. D., July S.
All roads lead to New Salem, N. D.. on
July 20, the date of the New Salem
dairy tour-and for two days previous,
for farmers, business men and bankers
from the most remote corners Of the
state will make the pilgrimage to the
home of the famous New Salem Hol-
stein Breeders circuit, and those from
the farthest corners will start the aft
ernoon of July IS. The tour is being
arranged by Max Morgan, extension
livestock specialist at the agricultural
college, in cooperation with the cir
cult, and the animal husbandry/d depart
ment of the Agricultural College,
whose chairman, Prof. ]. H. Shepperd,
organized the circuit quarter Of a
century ago.
Parties are being organized in the
various counties by the county agents,
and by interested bankers where there
are no county agents. The parties will
join forces at convenient places along
the way, all converging at the farm
Of John Christianson, president of the
New Salem Circuit, at 8 o'clock on the
morning of July 20. The tour will in
clude visit to four farms in the fore
noon and four in the ,afternon, with a
picnic dinner on one OF the farms,
served by members of the circuit, at
noon.
One object of the tour is to learn
how the II members Of the circuit took
In average gross receipts of $1,000 in
1920, in spite of the successive drOutf
years, and in spite of the fact that the
land owned by these farmers is. light
rocky soil that requires seven acres
to pasture milch COW. Only one
member of the circuit has a mortgage
on his farm. =
The circuit hires superintendent
to make butterfat tests and to figure,
from the daily records of feed consum-
ed and butterfat produced, just what
COWS are "boarders" and what ones
are high producing individuals. In
this way, the members have built up
herds that make money for their own
ers under as difficult conditions as are
to be found in the state. Hugh Trow-
bridge, 1920 graduate from the Agri-
cultural College, is superintendent.
Probably the largest single party to
make the trip will travel over the Red
trail, leaving Valley City at 8 O'clock
A. M. July 10, travelling west at the
rate of 20 miles an hour and picking
up groups from the counties In the
southwestern. quarter of the state. H.
cluded in this party will be several
people from the college and the Cass
