. Contest at Storrs

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs are still pushing along at the rate of nearly 500 eggs a week in excess of the expected production for this season of the year. During the last two weeks Barred Rocks relegated to the rear the rest of the breeds. The first week in April is a different story, E. P. Usher's pen of Rhode Island Reds from Grafton, Mass, were in first position with a yield of 61 eggs Harry G. Culver's pen of Barred Rocks from Westhamp- ton Beach, l.. l., was second best pen for the week with score of 60 eggs. A pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Charles D. Pierce from Arnold Mills, R. l., tied for third place with ! twopens of Barred Rocks owned by Keewaydin Farms at Darien, Conn.,, and the Ontario Agri. College at Guelph, Ont. These three pens laid 58 eggs each during the week. Two pens of White Leghorns entered by J. Frank Dubois from Peacham, Vt, and Exmoor Farm, from Lebanon, Pa, tied for fourth place with 57 eggs each. The total production for all pens was 4,831 eggs or yield of 69 per cent. This is within 75 eggs of the highest weekly record ever made at Storrs.
 Eastern pou1trymen are facing the problem of lower egg prices and higher feed prices. The egg market is lower thah for the last five years while at the same time the feed mar iket has been climbing a little from the low level of last summer. High egg production therefore becomes an important factor in maintaining poultry profits. Meanwhile certain individual hens in nearly every flock are without the slightest scruple calmly whiling away their time merely because they are broody. To be sure not every setting hen is a loafer, some go broody only once or twice during the remainder of the year lay at very creditable rate, the ~others however go broody repeatedly at somewhat regular intervals and lay only few eggs between these broody periods. Which hen is which is the question. Identification is easy by means of using celluloid leg bands. Label the broody hens with one of these celluloid rings and about the time it is necessary to put the third or fourth leg band on the same hen send it to market. Some poul- trymen will no doubt be surprised to find in following this plan that many of their hens never go broody at all.

War Gases Proposed for Destroying Noxious Pests

Deadly gases that were developed for war purposes are now being tried out by the United States De- Ipartment of Agriculture as means for destroying noxious birds, animals and insects. Some of them promise to be useful when applied under proper conditions, particularly those that are heavier than air and can be used on burrowing rodents, and pos sibly subterranean insects and pests in stored products.
 The most recent proposal is to use gas to kill destructive birds that con- gregate in marshes. In the coming fall the Biological Survey, in co operation with the Chemical Warfare sSfyice, is planning to make a trial of the method on blackbirds in the Imperial Valley of California Tn that region these birds are said to dc at lest $50,000 worth of damage to the milo crop each year. Because ot their feeding habits it is impossible to destroy these birds with poisoned bats, but, as they roost on the reeds in the marshes, it is thought that they can be killed by a gas cloud al

night when the wind is favorable. The blackbirds are migratory. and return to the same places year after year. It is thought that a big killing in certain locality will probably free it of the pests for many years. A few other birds in the blackbird- infested marshes will be killed at the same time, but the department be- lieves that these local birds will soon reach their normal numbers again.
 Arrangements also are being made by the Biological Survey with the Chemical Warfare Service for inves- tigating the possibility of using poison gases on such burrowing TO- dents as rats, prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and woodchucks. Tests on pocket gophers and ground squirrels by these two cooperating branches of the Government in California show that chlorine may be used with good results if handled properly. The Chemical Warfare Service used phosgene on rats in Porto Rico with promising results. Some of these war gases will be compared with carbon bisulphide for the killing of woodchucks and other rodents in their burrows.
 Entomologists of the department have already worked in cooperation with the War Department in testing various gases on insect pests of growing plants and those that infest stored grain, but it has not yet been found advisable to recommend any, thing to take the place of hydro cyanic-acid gas or carbon bisulphide.,
 The serious disadvantages of many of these new gases is that they are dangerous or very irritating to men, horses, and muless and require the use of masks and great care in handling. \. s...

 The king and queen never attend services at St. James, preferring the private chapel at Buckingham palace,
 Historical students and sentimental Londoners will be much grieyed, for the service in that ancient building, which belongs to the Holbein period of the palace, with the boy choristsrs 1.-the children of the Chapel Royal in their beautiful uniform of scarlet and gold, like pages of antique pat tern, is one of the most curious and beautiful survivals of the time.

1SO,OOO Miles of Roads" Mean .
 Economic Improvements

When the Federal-aid highway system provided for by the recently enacted Federal highway act, is com pleted there will be network of roads 180,000 miles in length cover ing the whole United States. The time required for the completion of the system will depend upon the rate at which the necessary Federal funds are provided, say officials of the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, which administers Federal-aid money.
 An idea of what these roads will mean to the country can be gained by studying the effect of roads built in recent years and picturing what would happen should they be torn up and left in their former condition.
 Should these roads go back to their former state and the motor vehicles which have come with them disappear there would be many changes. Many suburbanites would have to move into the city and there would be a decrease in value of suburban real estate. Cities would have trouble in getting their fresh milk and food supply. Much farm land would de- crease in value and the effect on rural social life would be serious. In fact, motor vehicles and the roads on which to use them form such an inn portant part of our economic and social life that it is hard to picture to the full extent what would happen.
 Since all this dependence on high way transportation has come in a brief period of years and with the construction of 115,0O0 miles of sur faced highways, 60,000 of which are on the proposed Federal-aid highway system, it can. be understood what further changes will take place as the system grows to 180,000 miles in length and other roads are built branching out from it.
