Such a score will be a record for White

for the world. Her average for the

NOTES

Nothing unusual has been reported
so far this spring to interfere with
normal workings, of the poultry busi-
ness except a small percentage of low
fertility in the early month. Everybody
seems to have enjoyed conditions except
the egg producer; low prices have re-
duced commercial egg profits to nil
and there will be required season of
high prices to balance the account
The public has enjoyed eggs produced
without profit and when those low
priced eggs that went into storage in
the season of low prices are placed on
the market double the price will be
asked for them, and at that time the
consumer must pay to help equalize
losses.
Fairly good range means better and
stronger stock when maturity arrives
until the pullets are ready to house
In preparation for egg production,
free range means a great deal, in
building stamina for next years egg
production.
To rear young stock correctly some
one of the splendid baby chick feeds
now on the market should be the ra-
tion. Keep them alive until after the
danger period is over and the rest is
easy.
Vermin have no place on the mod
ern chicken farm-young birds are
particularly susceptible to all kinds
Of lice and mite. These days bugs
are easily controlled.

Where a reduction of corn acreage
seems advisable and the land has lime
enough, sweet clover will lend itself
admirably to soil improvement at low
cost. While the usual way of seeding
is on winter grain or with spring
grain, the United States Department
of Agriculture advises that it may
well be seeded alone on land that is
now without a crop. Such land
should be narrowed as early as pos
sible and the seed narrowed in, Or
where the land dries slowly the seed
may be scattered directly on the
ground as the frost is coming out.
There is no need to plOw, and so prac-
tically the whole expense will consist
of the cost of the seed which at pres
ent is low. Scarifed seed should be
used.

Do Not Improve Soil.
During the past few years large
crops of small grain and of corn have
been grown, but these have not always
proved profitable, and, of course, have
not helped to improve the land. The
question Of what to do under these
circumstances is important. If cash
returns are necessary the land not put
into corn may be planted to soy beans.
This crop will require as much labor
as corn, however. Where the great
est possible economy in operation is
to be combined with soil improvement
the farmer will have to turn to grass
or clover.
Every farmer must judge for himself
whether to grow corn, whether to sub
stitute soy beans or some other crop,
or whether to rest the land and de-
rive little or no income from 1t for one
season. The above suggestion is Of
fered by the Department of Agricul-
ture as one way to improve the land
while resting it, and to do this with
the minimum Of expense and labor.

Small Cost Of Seed.

The price Of white sweet clover seed
is today considerably less than half
that of red clover. If the seed is on
the ground early the plants will keep
ahead Of the weeds and, by September
or October, a fair crop of excellent
hay can be cut if conditions warrant
the expense of cutting. The hay will
have practically the same value as
alfalfa or red clover hay. In the
spring of next year the new growth can
be- turned under for corn if that crop
is desired or the field can be used
for pasture.
Sweet clover is one of the best pas
ture plants known. If pastured heav-
lily enough it will keep green and

 DISMISS SUIT
Board Given No Authority in Act to Declare Contracts
 Void, States Counsel

CHIrAGO, Apr. A. Attorneys for the Pennsylvania Railroad completed their fight against the motion of the United States railroad labor board to dismiss the injunction suit brought by the road, and the case was taken under advisement today by Federal Judge George P. Page.
 In several instances, Judge Page Indicated that he held the opinion that the power of the labor board twas merely to investigate and pub dish decisions of it's investigations He intimated that with no power of enforcement behind those decisions, it was not made plain by the Penusyl- vania how the boards decision in the Pennsylvania case was unconsti- tutional.
 The road denied the power of the board to order certain conferences with shop employees, including the union, on it's lines. and contended that the board. could not prescribe how elections to name employe rep resentatives in conference should be held. Timothy J.. Scofield, counsel for the carriers, declared there was no authority in the act to allow the board to declare contracts void as was done when the Pennsylvania made certain rules agreements with employees. none of whom were union then.
 Concluding the argument for the board, Blackburn Esterlin, special as- 'sistant to the attorney general of the United States, compared the trans portation act to the stock yards act, the futures trading act, the constitu- tionality of which is now pending in the supreme court. He said they were similar measures to the railroad act, and had withstood all attacks in the lower courts.

 SAYS SERVICE
 |S WORLD NEED
Field Director of Methodist Episcopal Church Speaks
 to Bisbee Audience

Service is the big word in the vo-
 cabulary of today. Only the adoption
 of truly Christian concept of univer
 sal brotherhood, the practice of a
 really Christian program of social
 service can safeguard the world
 against and provide a moral equiva-
 lent for war" declared Dr. E D. Kohl stedt, Chicago, director of field acti- Vities, committee on conservation and advance, Methodist Episcopal church In a vivid portraiture of the worlds Vneed and the church's response at the Bisbee Methodist Episcopal
 church, Monday evening.
 Illustrating his message with actual
 photographs taken by experts in the United States and in foreign lands, the speaker stressed the fact that Methodism's Missionary Forward Movement contemplated an attack on the sore spots evident on the body >politic, the relief of points of strain
 in our national life. Reviewing the present world situation, Dr. Kohlstedt said:
 Civilization is characterized by great forward movements which, like some vast pendulum, are followed by sharp reactions. But men who have faith and read history alright do not despair during these periodic reac- tions, which are in turn succeeded by other forward movements that fre- quently register far in advance of any previous achievement in the record of human progress. Ascending rungs i1 the ladder of progress are often stained with blood. Collectively, as well as individually, the world may have growing pains.
 The Methodist Centenary marked one of these mighty advance move ments among the Christian churches. During the period of industrial de- pression there has been some slight reaction, but the various church de- nominations are now girding them selves anew for another advance which will doubtless record greater results, at home and abroad. finan- cially and spiritually, than the achievements of any previous cam paign.
 "If it be true that the world is look ing to America for leadership. then She Church of Christ in America, unit ed and strong armed, must see to it that America shall not fail the world in this crucial hour, by insuring to that leadership the impact of vital piety The Christian churches of America are committed to the spread of Christian principles as the sole remedy for tragic world situation that is far more than an economic or political emergency. The Methodist Episcopal Church ahl6ne is now spending more than $15,000, ,0OO a year for the promotion of world peace mission agencies at home and abroad"
 Dr. Kohlstedt, after describing the work of the church, asked the uues. tion of the audience, Does it Paw" Evidently the Methodist Episconai church believes that it does pay and IS proposing to carry out it's program on larger scale and in a more sue. cessful manner with each succedeing year.
 In closing summary statement the speaker said: "The purpose at the heart of this whole enterprise is to so adequately acquaint our people with the exact natuye of their local and world responsibilities as follow. CTS of Christ whose love girdles the

Want to Know the Reason Why

We have recently received
some interesting facts concern
ing the ferry Washington, and
we people of the east side who
are still suffering because of the
lack of transportation facilities,
want to know the reason why.
A committee of east side resi-
dents appealed to the County
Commissioners and to Mr.. Ander-
son, superintendent of transport
tation, when the ferry was taken
off the Des Moines-Portage run
in the fall, and asked them to
help us keep a boat on the esat
side run. Capt. Christensen of
fered to keep the Virginia ",
on the run if the county would
assist him with a necessary sub
sidy during the winter months
amounting to not over three hun
bred dollars per month.
But after carefully counting
the expense, the four wise men
decided that they could not af-
ford to help us and we have
been without boat to Seattle
ever since, The jitney rates and
inconvenience of the trip via the
north end ferry have been al
most prohibitive for the majority
of us, and we can go to Tacoma
for about one fourth the cost of
reaching Seattle. Tacoma is the
gamer and Seattle the loser, by
many hundred dollars a month.
The County Commissioners and
Mr.. Anderson are supposed to be
wise men beyond the ordinary
run of men. They are supposed
to be careful, conservative, bust
ness mon, who are using the
taxpayers money as careful con
Scientious business men would
use their own money in business
of their own. The taxpayers
have trusted them to the posi-
tionS of trust that they hold, and
we expect them to do the best
they can for us.
When they told us that the
county could not afford to help
us, we meekly submitted to their
decision because, if the county
could not afford it, that was the
end of it, and we have remained
marooned ever since, to an eX-
tent never known before, since
the pioneers padded canoes back
and forth TO and from Seattle.
