PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Hatch Chicks at Such Time to Allow
PuIIets to Begin Laying in
October and November,

With the average small-farm flock
where hens of general-purpOse
breed are kept, it is most satisfac-
tory to let the hens do the Matching.
If the hens are of a nOnbroody breed,
however, it is necessary to use incuba-
tors or to purchase baby chicks.
Whatever the method of Matching. II
is most important that it be done at
the right time of year.
The proper time of Matching varies
with different localities, being earlier
in the South and latest in the extreme
North. The aim should be to hatch
the chicks at such a time as will al
low the pullets to reach their full de-
velOpment and begin laying in Octo-
Der or November, poultry specialists
in the United States Department of
Agriculture say, as these earlier ma
turing pullets must be depended upon
very largely for the fan and winter
eng production. Late-hatched chicks
do not mature in time to produce fall
and winter eggs, nor do they live or
grow so well during the hot weather

Upward Movement of Farm Labor
Wages-One of Causes for

Wage rates for farm labor reached
their highest point In the history OF
this country In 1920, as national aver
ages. AS ascertained by the bureau
Of crop estimates. United States De
partment of Agriculture, the average
wage rate for labor hired by the month
was S46.Sg with board, and S8495
without board; for day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board, and S4.36

War conditions greatly accelerated
an upward movement or farm-wage

Of that year for hirings by the month
without board was S17.G9 as an aver
age for the United States, and no 9th

BY 1902, this wage rate had in

apple trees are lost every winter, in

to Cnaw the bark from the trunk

there is a deep snow and they are

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
Will Increase Growing Popularity of
Automobiles and Help Build

To determine the average mileage

tiOn among go owners in a middle
western city of around 100000 pOpu-
latiOn resulted in an average of 3S
miles. Sixty-twO per cent stated they
would make longer trips if the roads
permitted, S5 per cent stated they usu
ally made their trips out into the

From these figures it is easy to
see that more good roads will in

to build up communities. relieving

IMPROVED

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920
Distinct Shortage of Labor and Hiqher
Cost OF Materials Among Diff

Every kind Of road cost about twice
as much to build in 1920 as it did in
1917, according to the chief OF the

way construction suffered more than
any other class Of work through rail-
roau congestion, strikes, labor trou-
bles, and material shortages.
AFTER the war there was a great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam
aged by war traffic. and 1t appeared
that the return of men from military
service would provide an abundance Of
