SUICIDE OF COL. WHITTLESEY
 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED

New York, Nov. 29 -(By the 4. P1.- Confirmation of the report that Lieuten- ant Colonel Charles W. hittlesey had committed suicide last Saturday night on his way to Havana was received to- day by The Associated Press in wire less message from Captain Grant of the steamship Toloa.
 Captain Grant said that the commander of the famous Lost Battalion had disap- peared from the ship after leaving him various instructions and that he had seemed in a normal mental condition and good spirits on quitting the smoking room to retire. L
 The sea captain told the story of the colonels disappearance In these words:
 Colonel c. ". Whittlesey, e passenger from New York to Havana. disappeared from the ship during the night of Satur- day, Nov. 26th
 "He left a letter addressed to me, gv- ing me various instructions regarding the dispos tion of his baggage, and also re- quested me to send several wireless mes sages, which were quoted in his letter He also left nine letters addressed to various relatives and friends which I will send at Havana.
 He appeared normal and in good spirits when he left the smoking room about 1115 Saturday night to retire"
 William r. Deegan, state commander oe the American Legion, said in a state ment tonight that Whittlesey's death through calling attention to the cause of his melancholy, should be a lesson tc the rest of us Aplericans-that there i'

POULTRY SPECIALIST SAYS
 PULLETs PRODUCE MORE EGGS

"In the poultry industry there is a
 phase of the work which is rarely un-
 derstood to keepers of farm Aocks and
 beginners, and that is the relative value
 Of hens and bullets as Q basis for the
 selection, establishment and maintenance
 of @ profitable laying flock" says N. R.
 Mehrhof, extension poultry specialist,
 who estimates that on the farm Aocks throughout the country about one-half of
 the laying stock consists of hens.
 Why are so many hens kept on the farm? The profit from a flock of birds can be measured by it's production. One Of the important problems that the poul- tryman has to deal with is now to get the largest number of eggs from his flock. How can he do this? By selecting pull entire flock rather than by having a ma iority of hens. Statistics show that pull lets lay about thirty eggs more per year than hens. This is true for both the heavy and the light breeds The next profit, therefore, is in favor of the pu,- lets They lay more eggs in the fall and winter, when the prices are high. and so tend further to increase the profit. ! During the bullet year an estimated prof 1 1t above feed of s3.So per bird is net ted while for the hen a profit of S25e l per bird is netteA.
 Why, then, keep large flock of birds which will decrease the profits rather 1 than increase them? keep more bullets and fewer hens in the flock. It jays and means better results all round.

MAKING NEW STRAWBERRY BEDS

Some Connecticut growers make g pTac tice or setting Q new strawberry bed each year and blowing up the old bed inmedi- ately after the fruit is harvested. Other growers save at least their best fields for q second crop of fruit. Few strawberry oeds, except these grown for home use, are retained for more than two crops.
 The question of whether or not it will pay t2 renovate the old bed depends mostly upon the condition of the bed. Only wall-cared for fields are worth renewing. If. the old bed has become weedy or grassy. 1t may cost as much or more to renovate 1t, as 1t does to set q new one, and z new bed usually yields . larger and better crop.
 If 8 planting is 10 be saved fir sec o..d crop Of fruit it should be thoroughly cleaned out. thinned. cultivated and fer hHzed a5 soon as possible after the fru1t has been harvested. The first operation 7 usually t. nov over the bed with a scythe, or moving machine. If insects and diseases are not troublesome, this ma terial together with the mulca, should be Sbowcd under if possible. Many grow r-s, however. prefer to burn the bed over hed re blowing or cutivating. This burn jng undoubtedly destroys many insects and diseases and seldom injures the plants, if doae when the clippings are dry and the soil is moist and when 8 1r -cze is blowing, So that the fire will pass over the plants quickly, The nexg operation Is to narrow down tho oiG rows

MRS. sTILLMAN MAY
 ABANDON COUNTER ATTACK

Poughkeepsie N. Y, Nov. 29.-Aban- depment of the counter attack upon the conduct of James A Stillnan by Mrs Anne '. Stiilman in the divorce proceed- ings instituted by the New York banker was forecast tonight after adjournment of q one-day hearing before Referee Dam iel J. Gleason.
 Mrs. Stllman, it was said. probably would not call any mora witnesses in support of charges that her husband was guilty of misconduct with Florence H. Leeds, former Broadway szow girl. The testimony Of all witnesses to be called, it was explained would be devoted to defending Mrs. Stillman and the paternity of baby Guy Stillman whom MT. Still man seeks to have adjudged illegitimate.
 Counsel for MT. Stillman announced ses eral times thai the banker would not contest evidence upon his own behavior.
 Testimony at today's hearing was un- derstood to have set forth that Mr. and Mrs. Stillman and two of their children stayed at 9 suite in the St. Regis hotel, New York, for two weeks during Febru- ary. 1918, nine months before the birth of Guy Stillman. It was said to have been brought out that Fred ReauYais, the Indian guide employed by the Still mans and named correspondent in the bankers complaint, was 8 guest at the hotel during that time.
 John r. Brennan, counsel for Mrs. Stillman, and John E. Mack, guardian ad Item for Guy Stillman. will leave for Montreal tomorrow night, it was said, to make preparations for hearings they pro- pose to hold there 10 take testimony re- l garding the relations of Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais at and near the St!llman summer camp at Three Rivers, Quebec.

 Some fertilization ought to be done at this time to stimulate the old plants into renewed growth, and to make runner plants.

the question of location that the site will have much to do with conveniepce
 in management. A house that isn't easy
 to reach is likely to receive less care
 and attention than if it had been built
 with this idea In mind.
 You can keep more birds on a small floor space area under the colony plan than with the intensive system. where the colony plan is used in a mild clim- ate, and the hens have free range most of the year. Colony houses on runners, holding thirty to seYenty-fve hens, are about as large as can be kept in one flock in 8 long house. Flecks of sixty to 159 are well adapted 10 the average
 numbers require less labor, fewer fences conditions for producing GEES. Large and lower house cost than small fiocks, but there is 9 greater chance for disease, and the individual hen receives less attention.
 ''The cost of housing poultry depends
 upon many conditions, such as price of
 lumber style Of house, amount of floor space allowed 10 each bird, and so on, Substantial poultry houses can be built from $1.5o to s2.50 a, head. including labor. The cost of material will vary from s1 to $1.50 a head.

CORN PRODUCTS
 FOR BEANS, POTATOES, RICE

Tn view of serious shortage this year in potatoes, beans, and rice. other starcny foods will be needed to take the1r place on the table, The United States de- partment Of agriculture points out in connection with this situation that there is an abundance of corn. and that not enough of 1t Is being used for human food, although it may. to large extent take the place of the other three products in the diet. Corn products are not exact equivalent for potatoes, beans, or rice but may be used in combination with veg etsjbles to supply 3 maximum of nourish- ment at 8 Low price.
 There is opportunity. particularly in the Northern states, for an increased use of such products as hominy grits and corn meal Specialists ill corn utilization state that> one reason corn meal is used more In the Southern states than in the North Is that it is made only from sound grain properly care for, and has a fine flavor which justly gives it popularity If those wilo save corn for grinding at home, or who send it to be rniiled, would see that It is promptly dried and stored in rat proof, dry rooms or grips the finished pro duct would come into far greater demand as an inexpensive and suitable food to serve as the starehy element in 8 meal.

 It was revealed today that although the president does not propose to intro duce formally the subject into the nego- tiations here until he naval and Far Eastern discussions have reached a de- cision, he does expect that before the delegates separate they will agree on a plan by which similar discussions will take place in the future.
 At the same time it was made known that In drafting the frame work of his plan the president was endeavoring to avoid the impression that any resu!ting Association of nations" might become Q rival Of the league of nations organized at Versailles.
