Surrey ShOlUS Profit
in Poultry FtOcks

An average return of two hundred
dollars above feed and other direct
costs is reported for 80 Michigan
farm poultry flocks included in a
survey recently completed by the
Farm Management department of
the Michigan Agriculture College, an
indication that poultry are often one
Of the farmers most profitable en-
terprises.
these were average Michigan
farm flocks," says II. NJ. Elcot,
head Of the farm management de
partment. "They averaged llS hens
to the flock, with the average return
per hen of $40. Thirteen of the
flocks show returns below S1.50 per
hen, and nineteen between these fig
ures."
A striking feature of poultry
management brought out by the sur
vey was the beneficial effect of pro-
tein feeds upon both egg production
and net returns per hen.

For the current fiscal year, begin
ming July /, 1922, the Republican
Congress has made an initial appro-
priation of $41S,053,S34 for use by
the Veterans bureau. With the
single exception of the item Of in
terest on the public debt, this is the
largest single appropriation made by
the Congress for any department or
function Of the United States gov
eminent.
1t is $S6,000,000 greater than the
total appropriations for the War de-
partment; S93,000,000 greater than
the total appropriations for the De-
partment of the Interior; 1921 goo, 900
greater than the total appropriations
for the Navy department; four times
the total appropriations for the Ag-
ricultural department, including APP
preparations for public highway; %
times the total appropriations for the
Department of Commerce; 80 times
the total appropriations for all other
independent commissions and bodies
like the Interstate Commerce Com
mission; % times the total appro-
priations for the Department of JUS
tice; 40 times the total appropria-
tions for the Department of State
and 80 times the total appropriations
for the Department of Labor.
1t is approximately double the to-
tai amount Of money appropriated for
pensions and other relief for the sur
vivors and all the departments of
the survivors of all war exclusive
of the World war; in which the Unit
ed States has engaged.

Isaac Mitchell Packer, son of Amos
Y. and Elizabeth Lingle Packer, was
born in Henry county, Ohio, August

TENDER /, 1922 at the ripe age of
eighty years and twenty-seven days.
He together with his parents, un-

way through the wilderness and at
last reached Gratiot county, Michi-

worked laboriously clearing the land
and hewing the logs from which the
first rude cabins were built.
He became very familiar with all
tho surrounding country, following
the Indian trails and hunting wild
game which supplied the family
meat. He also made many friends
among the native Indians whose
language he learned quite well.
AT that time there was no place of
iOliS lONo WOlSlllJ III JnlS StCllOn Vi

journeyed to st. Johns where he Sc
cured the services of Minister that
the gospel might be preached among
the settlers.
Soon after the first post-ofice was
established here he carried mai
from what is now st. Louis through
to Maple Rapids going with ponies
as far as possible and finishing the
route by foot.
On the twenty-seventh day OF
April, 1868 he was united in mar.
riage with Mary Caroline Young
This union was blessed by the birth
Of four children, Edmund F., Amo:

Farm Bureau on
Political Matters

The policy of the Farm Bureau, like
all other large farm organizations
such as the Grange, is not to endorse
individual political parties or candi-
dates of those parties. 1t is the pol
icy Of the legislative department of
the Farm Bureau to analyze and study
issues and decide as to the merits of
said issues studied.
Members of the County Farm Bu-
reau executive committees may have
personally endorsed candidates. This
does not mean that the Farm Bureau
as an organization endorses any one
candidate to fill a government office
but only that the individual member
of said County Farm Bureau person
ally endorses the party or candidate
in question.
/ trust that the above explanation
will serve as an answer to the many
questions coming to my office daily
regarding this point.
