Culling Campaign
Among the Biddies

The ability 70 accurately Judge by
external characteristics whether a pull
let Will make a good layer. or become
an expensive boardcr in the flock. Is
being acquired hy many Maine farm
crs. Helping them to become experts
in this important line Of poultry hus-
handrN is one Of tho aims of the Col
lego Of Agriculture extension service.
This month in practically every
county in the state culling dcmonstra
tons are being conducted by the agri-
cultural county agents. assisted by O.
VI. Wilbur, the extension poultry spe-
cialist. ard the Farm Bureau poultry
project leader
Along with their demonstrations the
county agents in 10 of the counties are
making concerted plans for culling
campaign. to be conducted during the
entire week of Sept. 1l-16. The 10
counties in which the Farm Bureau in
cludcd this project in the program of
work are AndroScoggin, Sagadahoc
kenncbec, Piscataquis. Hancock, Wash
ington. Franklin. Somerset, Knox and
Lincoln. Reports from the county
q eciNS s'icN iiS tIi' Ol IdIIltES
enrolled in this campaign in their re-
spective counties give basis for the
prediction that there will be very few
non-layers left in the focks in those
counties after the campaign is con-
cluded.
Last year 261 culling demonstrations
were conducted in Maine under the
auspices of the extension service
agents. The total number Of hens OK
amined IN these demonstrations was
1864. Of which 4e4s. or 20 per cent,

were removed as Improbable. The
farmers on whose premises the demon
STATIONS were held We're asked to keep
accurate account of the number of
eggs laid by the entire flock in the
seven days prior to the culling, and of
the relative production of the separat-
ed good hens and culls in seven days
after the cullng. An analysis of COM
plcte records received from 221 of
these farmers showed that the total
number of eggs laid in seven days
prior to the cuttings was 36,059. In
the next seven days following the Gull
ings tho hens retained laid 32.260 eggs
while the culls laid in tho same period
only 1869.
In addition, farmers who witnessed
the demonstrations applied this ac
qured knowledge to culling their own
fiockS and their reports showed that
they handled G93J hens. removed 1896
as culls: that the number of eggs laid
in a week before culling was 1924;
number laid the following week 10y the
hens retained, @92S eggs; number laid
by tho culls in the same period, 81.

NEGR00FFERS TO
!. CAPTURE HOPPER
Appears At Office OF Sheriff
Lytla4 And, Says He Can
Locate The Gunman

" A.colored man giving his name as
Manuel Robinson and his address as
AIT. Vernon appeared at tie office of
Sheriff ,Lytle Thursday morning and
remarked to the official: "lf you give
me warrant and pair of handouts,
| Will arrest Everett Hopper in less
than three, days"
& Hopper is the negro wanted in this
city for shooting and seriously
wounding John Fuqua, a negro, dur.
ing crap game last Sunday.
Robinson told the sheriff he could
lay his hands on Hopper within a
short time. Robinson told a rambling
story, and Sheriff Lytle was inclined
to discredit the mans ability to place
his hands on the criminal.
However, Sheriff Lytle will keep in
touch with. Robinson and may use
him in the case.
:. Up until noon today, Sheriff Lytle
had received no information as to
the, whereabouts of Hopper. Hes is
believed,to be in hiding in Ashland
or some nearby town, but so far the
police of these cities have been un.
able to locate him.
