The Poultry Industry is one OF
Americas most important enterpris-
es, producing S1,250,000,O0O in
wealth annually.
The Poultry industry supports
many industries entirely and con-
tributes largely to the support of
others.
Imports of eggs and egg products
increased from S1,577,47- in 1914 to
s16,26S,2ss in 1920 based on import
value.
1t is setimated that over S6OO,OOO-
900 worth of grain and grain prod
.ucts are consumed annually.
Present estimated number of ma
ture poultry, 3OO,OOO,ooo head,
Estimated number of poultry rear
ed in 1919 eoo,OOO,oOo head. (see
note.)
Estimated number of eggs produc-
ed in 1919, ,957,oOo,ooo dozen.
(see note.)
Note: From estimates by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The poultry producing industry is
nationwide in it's scope. For many
years it was an. adjunct to general
farming. No attention was paid to
the cost of production Of poultry and
eggs, the housewife keeping a flock

the university campus this year. A
lighter sentence was promised all
students involved in case they should
voluntarily confess their violation of
the anti-fraternity regulations, 5
o'clock next Tuesday afternoon be-
ing fixed as the last hour in which
such confessions would be accepted.
All students guilty of violation of
the rule during the session were ad-
vised and urged to confess their
wrongdoing, DR.. Curreli said, adding
that he did not desire to impose
the supreme penalty" unless forced
to do so.
DR.. Currell in his short address
to the student body read letters from
the national officers of the four fra
ternities suspected of having chap
tiers on the campus, stating that
these four had no, charter on the
campus at present, the fraternities
pledging their assistance in prevent
ing the re-establishment of chapters
until the law should be changed.

their charters had not been held by

"sub Rosa" Frats Are Being
Investigated.

Certain students of the University
of South Carolina face suspension,
expulsion or other punishment at the
hands of the university faculty as a
result of the announcement made to
the student body yesterday morning
by President w. S. Currell to the eff
feet that "drastic action" would be
taken by the faculty against all stu
dents found guilty of participating
in the activities of Greek letter fra
ternities during the current collegi-
ate year in violation of the state
law.
The faculty has begun a thorough
investigation of the existence of so
called "sub rosa" fraternities at the
institution. DR.. Currell's announce
ment coming as the opening gun in
the campaign. Punishment which
under the bylaws of the university
ranges from admonition by an Of

the cost or amount of wealth pro-
duced. Poultry and eggs were then
largely by-products. Poultry farming
has now become an extensive and in
tensive commercial industry which
occupies the entire time Of skilled
poultry men as their principal or
only source of income.
The large grain growing section
of the Middle West is the home OF
the farm flock which contributes ap-
proximately one-third of the poultry
and eggs produced in this country.
In many sections North, South, East
and West, large commercial poultry
enterprises are developed. In many
specially favored sections, due to;
sources of food supply, marketing,
and climatic conditions, the indus
try has developed to such degree
that it is the dominant industry Of
the region. One of these regions, as
an example, confined within a radius
of less than eight miles, produced
and shipped in 1920 22,22s,s23 doz-
ems of eggs having value to the far
mer of over S11,OOO,OoO, and pro-
.duced and shipped over 100000
head of poultry. Within this area are
kept more than 100000 hens.

The Songs My Mother Sang.

The Songs My Mother Sang.
The sweetest music that has thrilled
my soul yet,
Is the songs my mother sang;
Long years have passed but I shall
never forget,
Howthe words and melody rang:
"Hush my child lie still and slumber
In thy little trundle bed,
Holy angels without number
: Hover round thy little bed"
Daily in my fancy her songs come
to me, y
AS l wander from place to- place;
And as she sings once again can see
Her sweet and smiling face.
"In the sweet bye and bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful
shore,
!, In the sweet bye and bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful
shore"
In my dreams she sings to me, too,
And again Pm a little child,
Resting in her arms so kind and true
Enraptured by her song and smile:
"There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for YOU"
And l wonder in my awakening
If she will sing to me again,
When leave from earth my soul is
taking,
Will I hear this sweet refrain:
"For He has this blessed promise
given,
If you will be good and true
You can come to me some day in
heaven,
But I cannot come to you"

A Practical Joke

1t was only last week that the sta
tisticians at Washington, still mulling
over the census figures which were
gathered a year ago, officially announc-
ed that the grand total number Of
white people in the United States IS
94,922,43l The figures may be cor
rect but unless there is positive as
surance that the people Of Woodstock
are included in the stated total, the
Vermont editors should petition for
recount. In the shiretown OF Windsor
county there are some Of the whitest
folks we ever met. When the editors
gathered at the famous Woodstock Inn
Friday evening for a dinner, dancing
party, and overnight stop, it was with
only rather vague understanding on
the part Of most Of the members that
the Business Mems Association Of
Woodstock would contribute some
thing to the entertainment Of the edi-
