SANITARY HOUSES FOR HENS
To Secure Adequate Returns In Eggs
and Growth Buildings Must Be
Light and Ventilated.

Chickens will not give adequate re-
turns in eggs or growth when kept
under insanitary conditions, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The construction
Of the poultry house should receive
first attention. Sufficient air space,
lighting and ventilation should be pro-
vided, and the entire house cleaned at
frequent intervals.
While these precautions cannot be
depended upon to control mites and
lice, they aid the poultryman in de-
termining when these pests are pres.
ent. Furthermore. the fowls are kept
In vigorous condition. which in itself
aids In controlling pests. Dirty and
insanitary houses provide ideal breed
Ing conditions for insects and germs
which are detrimental to poultry. Dis
eased fowls, or those with malformed
bills or feet, fall ready prey to lice
mites and other insect pests, and
should be removed as soon as discov-
cred.

COST AND PRICE

How impracticable it would be to
try to fix prices of farm products
upon the basis Of calculated costs of
production is shown by the results of
the survey of the cost of producing
wheat made by the United States De-
partment of griculture and deported
in a bulletin just issued. The inves.
tigation, which covered the cost OF
the 1919 crop, included 1877 farms in
five counties in the spring wheat re
gion, and 2S4 farms in nine counties
in the winter wheat belt.
1t was found that the cost of pro
ducing bushel of spring wheat or
the different farms varied from $1.1g
to $14S3, and that the variations IL
the costs of producing winter whea
ranged from SO cents to 1924. Tht
authors of the bulletin very wisely
suggest that the chief value OF
reproduction studies is to enable tn,
individual farmer to determine wha
crops he should grow, and how h,
should organize his farm.
