they are run should be shortened
about ten minutes Il day until they can
be entirely abandoned.
Other Points With Lights.
Fresh water should be given the
flock the first thing in the morning
when the lights are turned on. Birds
of different ages should not be housed
together or lighted in the same way.
They should be properly graded and
fiocked according to age. Lighting
makes it possible to carry February
Matched pullets through the first fall
and winter producing period with less
muulting YearlingS and two-year-old
hens are better if started with artlh-
cial lights in January, and the method
is not as profitable as with pullets. 1t
is considered questionable practice
to turn lights on culled hens to stimu-
late egg production. In New Jersey
where the largest amount of work has
been done with artificial lighting, it is
thought better to sell the culls and buy
good birds.
Artificial lights should be suspended
from the ceiling so that the entire floor
space is lighted If the roosting closet
partition casts shadow on the roosts,
the chickens will go to sleep in the
shadow.
Results in New Jersey show that in
general the use of lights nearly doubles
production during the period of high
prices of eggs and greatly increases the
usual net return over the cost of lights
and feed in the lighted pens. The

lighted flock showed better health than
the unlighted ones, and the subsequent
laying was as good among the birds
which had had winter lights as with
any of the birds.
A record was kept of IA New Jersey
fOcks for five months. The birds aver
aged 3,S02 in number and laid 2S0,511
eggs altogether. This was d Al per
cent production, whereas a % per cent
production was usual before the expert,
ment. This meant an increase of 127,,
15S eggs.
An experiment was made at the agri-
cultural experiment station, New
Brunswick, n J., in which 600 unlight,
ed pullets made a profit of $500 per
bird, but 500 lighted birds cleared S5.07
each. The lights were turned on in the
morning. Where an evening lunch was
given to 100 pullets the profit per bird
was S5.4S. The fuel and operating
cost for LOO birds was "A cents per
bird. An increase of single egg per
bird pays this cost.

SCOUTS MAKE TRAFFIC SURVEY

The city planning commission Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, recently invited
the Boy Scouts of America to con-
duct a traffic survey. This was ac-
cOmplished in so thorough and salts
factory manner that the boys won
high praise not only from the city
planning department but from all who
saw the boys at their work. The
count was checked up by men from
the traffic safety council and was
found in only one instance to have
been inaccurate. Hugh E. Lynch,
secretary of the commission, in thank
ing Scout Executive Walker for the
boys\ services, said that he regretted
that every boy could not have the
benefit of scout training. because he
could see in watching the boys at
work how far-reaching the influence
of the movement was and what
genuine contribution to citizenship
training.

BOY SCOUTS PLAY SANTA CLAUS

Last year Akron (O.) scouts collect
ed and distributed 900 toys among
the poor children of the CITY, This
year they raised the number to 1900.
For weeks they canvassed the city for
old toys, dolls, sleds, etc, which they
painted, repaired and made to look as
good as new to delight the hearts Of
the kiddies on Christmas morning.
This kind of good turn is being quite
generally practiced throughout the
country. Other cities reporting sim
liar Santa Claus service on the part
of scouts were Louisville, Ky; Gin
cinnati, O.. and Butte. Mont. The Gin
cinnati council got out an attractive
poster in the name of Santa Claus
Co, Inc.," bespeaking the public Co
operation in handing over old toys to
the boy scouts for repairing and re-
distribution under the auspices of the
Associated Charities. The Butte
scouts established regular toy hos
pital at their headquarters, to which
the papers gave considerable publicity.

Certain Crops Have Ceased to
Be Profitable.
Farmer in Making New Selection Will
Do Well to Look Back and Follow
Economic Changes That Have
Occurred.

Pnepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Many farmers, before buying a farm,
have saved themselves future losses
by looking we'll into the matter of
probable change in the type Of
farming practiced in the region they
have under consideration. Certain
crops may cease to be profitable owing
to the development of other regions
more favOrably situated for their pro-
duction and marketing. Some crops
may have to be abandoned because
of disease, insect pests or other causes.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture suggests the test question ::
Is the farm selected adapted to such
possible changes?
For instance, the farm selected may
now be growing beans, potatoes, corn,
oats, clover and hay, with the pros
pect that beans and potatoes will soon
cease to be profitable. The question
then arises-can some other crop or
crops be found to replace them? Very
few regions have a wide range of
crops, especially in general farming,
and adaptability to new crops is very
important consideration.
Can the beef-cattle farm be made
over Into a dairy farm? Can the
dairyfarm be made into a sheep farm
Can the fruit farm be made into a
hay. grain or live stock farm? In
many instances it will be found that
the farm in question demands a type
of farming that cannot be easily
changed TO meet the needs of chang
ing conditions.
When making a selection, look back
and follow the local economic changes
that have occurred in the last 30

In different states. What may be good
practice in New Jersey may not work
in Kansas. In the latter state cleo
tricity is considered the only practi-
cable kind of light, while in other
states kerosene lamps and gasoline
nantles are sometimes used Electric
ity is the most practical method to use
wherever it is available.
How to Use Artificial Light
The total daylight, real and artifi-
cial, should be about fourteen hours.
There are three ways of increasing
the apparent length of the day-by
turning ON lights very early in the
morning, or by keeping them going
several hours at night, or by using
them both morning and night. While
all three methods have given good re-
sults. the first is usually found most
convenient, because the lights merge
into daylight and no ill effects result if
they are not turned off promptly.
In using the second method some
1imming device is needed with electric
lights to lower the illumination gradu-
ally. The hens do not get to their
roOsts if the light is suddenly eXtin-
guished. Gasoline and kerosene lamps
have to be turned down.
Artificial lighting can be abused
with disastrous effects on the flock.
If they are run for too long day, the
hens may produce well for a short time
and then begin to moult If the laying
passes 60 per cent, or. in the opinion
of some poultry authorities, 30 per
cent. there is danger of mOulting and
consequent cessation of laying. In the
spring the lights should never be
stopped abruptly. The length of time

TO GIVE SERVICE MEDAL

The board of trustees of the village
Of Bronxville, N. Y, has voted to
award a "Village Medal every year
to the boy scout whose record at
school, at home, at work (if employed)
and in scouting activities indicates
the most promise and achievement and
one in whom the village may justly
take. real pride. The name of the
scout who is so honored will be placed
on a permanent tablet in the trustees
room of the village hall.

their slogan. Fire Chief Walker later
reported that the scouts action un-
doubtedly saved several houses.
