| From 20 local egg circles which left
the problem still unsolved, to state
vide egg-marketing association with
| central offices in Portland, is the step
taken by poultrymen in Oregon in
solving the egg-marketing problems.
The story, officials of the bureau of
markets ard crop estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture believe, points lesson for egg
producers in other parts of the cOun-
try. Recent reports of the success
or the association were received by
them with much interest, as being an
outgrowth of community egg circles
along lines advocated by the DEPART
ment.
Egg circles. they say, are good TO
start small groups of producers along
the right course, but do not solve the
larger egg-marketing problems, for as

dealers or TO private customers. such

found however, that they were still
helpless and had very lite control
over their products. Some eight or
ten circles near Salem co-operated
through the Salem circle manager,
but the business was so small il was
not very encouraging. Things went
from bad TO worse, and it was de-
cided to form an exchange with of
fees in Portland to which all the cir
cles could cOnsign their eggs.
This move was ridiculed by produce
dealers, for they knew the farmers

SCATTER GRAN FOR POULTRY
Proper Way to Give Feed to Hens \.
Distribute II Over a Large
Surface.

Some hens are gluttons, and in their
greatness will seize food to prevent
other hens from securing their share.
Those are the hens that become over
fat and finally quit laying. When food
is given In way that permits the
hens to eat without having to scratch.
there is sure to be an unequal dis
tribution of the food among the fowls
of the flock. The proper way is to
scatter the grain over a large surface
so that each hen will be compelled
to work, and all will fare alike

The Michigan tuberculosis associ-
alton is asking all counties in the
state to take note of the number of
deaths in each county with view of
learning how great the tuberculosis
tax has been during the past year.
Every death means a loss of several
thousand dollars and every case of
illness with tuberculosis means an ad-
ditional loss in doctors bills and
time. With these figures in mind,
the state association is making an APP
peal to each county to make the
Christmas sale big one from
to Christmas.

BOSTON PAPER
TELLS Of HONOR
TRANSCRIPT TELLS OF HONOR
ACCORDED TO MRS. FRANCIS

Following is an article from the
Boston Evening Transcript, October
90, in regard to the honor accorded
Mrs. Francies King by the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, when
she was awarded the George Robert
White medal recently:
For the first time the Massachu-
sets Horticultural Society has
awarded the George Robert White
Medal to a woman. The recipient is
Mrs. Francis King Of Orchard House,
Alma, Mich, and she receives this
flattering award at the suggestion of
a special committee, consisting Of
Professor Charles S. Sargent and
Thomas Roland of Nahant, ''in recog-
milton of her service to horticulture in
increasing the love of plants and gar
dens among the women Of the United
States; by her success as an organ
i1er and manager of their garden
clubs; by her public addresses and
books about gardens, and by the eX-
ample Of her enthusiasm and indus
try"
The medal is of solid gold, made in
the Philadelphia Mint, from a design
Of John Hannigan, the noted medal
ist. A new one is struck each year,
to make possible the name of each re-
cipicnt. Mrs. King is the thirteenth.
Among the others to be similarly
honorcd are George Forrest Of Eng
land, Chinese explorer, 1920; Nilmor-
an-Andrieux & Co. Of Paris, 1919; DR..
Walter Van Fleet, Glendale, Md,
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, 1918; Niels Ebbenscn Han
sen, Bookings, s. D., 1917.
Mrs. King (Louisa Yeomans) was
born in Washington, n. j., on Oct.
II, 1863, the daughter of Rev. Alfred
Yeomans, u. d., and Elizabeth Blythe
(Ramsay) Yeomans. She was married
to Mr.. King in Chicago on June u,
1890 She was president of the Gar
den Club of Michigan from 1912 to
1915, and was among the eight or
ganizers of the Women's National
Farm and Garden Association, and is
now its honorary president, Mrs.
Russell Tyson of Chicago succeeding
her last year. She is a vice presi-
dent of the Garden Club of America,
and n member OF the American Civic
Association, American Dahlia Soci-
ETY., American Rose Society, Ameri-
can Gladiolus Society, Royal Hort
cultural Society Of Great Britain,
National Tulip Society of England
and American Society of Fine Arts.
Her first book, "The Well-Considered
Garden" brought her into promi-
hence as an author Her next volume,
Pages from Gardeners Note
book" was published last May, and
THE Little Garden" is just off the
Atlantic Monthly Press.
Mrs. King has been the guest Of
Mrs James d. Colt at her home, p
Suffolk road, Chestnut Hill, during
the past week. Speaking this morn
ing Of the honor bestowed upon her,
she expressed her pleasure and said
81 am not scientific gardener; far
from it. just love flowers and gar
dens, and | want others to know
about them. | am proud of what the
New England Branch of the Woman
Farm and Garden Association is do
ing under the presidency of Mrs.
George u. Croker, and wish there
might be an extension Of this worl.
all over the United States. Nothing !
think, is more important at this time
than the drawing together of women
in towns and cities, through a com
mon interest in horticulture and ag-
riculture.
