Iowa Hens Are To Lay For
The Iowa Baptist Missions

The Northern Baptists have resourceful Ways and
Means committee, says the Athens News. They have
just issued call to the Baptist women of the farm
districts in Iowa asking them to contribute to mis-
sion purposes all the eggs laid on Sunday from
now until the first of May
They picked out good state for such plan, for
Iowa hens produce about one-fourteenth of all the
twenty billion eggs that are laid annually in the
United States The year round average of the Iowa
hens is $4,000 dozen day but this is the rush
on in the laying business it is likely that Iowa hens
will average 100000 dozen every Sunday between
now and the end of April
AS one-twentieth Of the church-going people of
Iowa are Baptists it may be assumed that ROUGHLY
5000 dozen eggs will be laid each Sunday by hens of
Baptist ownership. AT 20 cents dozen the returns
would be 81 900 Sunday, and there are seven Sun
days AT the Northern Baptist Convention here it
was estimated that the returns would be $75 900
rather than $1,000, but these predictions may have
been based on. secret figures regarding the large
numbers and high productivity of hens owned by
IBaptists
If the experiment shells out nicely the Baptists
may well try it in Missouri where there are almost
Jas many hens as Iowa boasts and great many more

unfortunate bank failure will be Strengthened out

The Post, after noting improved conditions further
