PROPER EGGS FOR MATCHING
Project for Improvement of
Poultry Flocks

For the improvement of poultry by
careful selection Of breeding stock, the
poultry department Of the division Of
extension work of the California Col
lege of Agriculture has instituted a
new project with the hatcherymen Of
Alameda county. Previous to this
time, the assertions of the egg dealer
were the only guide to those who
bought eggs for Matching and dealt in
baby chicks, as to the quality of the
Eggs they were getting. There was OPP
portunity for frequent abuse or conf
dence In the business.
Under the present plan about 10000
birds have been inspected by poultry
experts, and those which have met the
requirements decided upon for weight,
egg production, size and shape of eggs,
and other points, have been accepted
as eligible for the production of eggs
for Matching. Hatcherymen have
agreed to use no eggs except those
from tested flocks.

Broody hens, like Maynard children,
are great dlscredit to their parents
and a source Of annoyance to all who
have to do with them. That Is why
one Of the greatest concerns of every
ambitious and enthusiastic poultry
man is to restrict the appearance and
development of broodfness IN his
flock. The United States Department
of Agriculture has found that brOodi-
ness can be reduced very markedly
by careful, rigid and persistent selec-

was ascertained that previous to the
practice Of selection the average hen
in the flock was broody 3.S8 times a

GROWTH OF STRAWBERRY INDUSTRY
DUE TO INTELLIGENT MARKETING

crop Is shipped by express, the rail-
road company providing two or three
express fruit trains daily. These trains
run on a schedule of 40 miles an hour,
which puts the fruit on the Chicago
market before daylight the second
morning Less than carload ship
ments are cared for by the express
company, which operates local iced
cars to pick up small shipments. The
growers have good transportation IA
cilIties, deliveries are prompt, and few
instances are known where cars have
not arrived at destination on time.
Strawberry buyers from the large
consuming markets establish head
quarters at Hammond during the mar
keting season, sales being made on
a cash (. o. b. shipping point basis. The
fruit Is inspected at shipping point
and acceptance taken before the cars
move. At Ponchatoula all cars are
sold at public auction.
Perhaps the principal reason for the
prosperity enjoyed by Louisiana's
berry growers is that they keep them
selves closely informed upon day-tO-
day market conditions. The producers
appreciate that knowing the markets"
enables them to meet the consumers
desires as regards quality and guam
tity, and that to overstock one mar

piled is unsound from both an ecOnom-

DAIRY

APPLE.PECTlN AS cow FEED
Pulp Should Prove Valuable Adjunct
to Fare Of Animal When COM
pared With silaoe.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture,I
That dried apple-pectin pulp should
prove valuable adjunct to the fare
of the dairy COW is the conclusion
drawn from analyses and feeding trials
conducted by the bureau Of chemistry.
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, In collaboration with the Bureau
of Animal Industry. This feed made
favorable showing when compared
with dried beet pulp and corn silage.
Apple-pectln pulp Is the by-product
remaining after pectin has been eI-
tracted from apple pomace, or, as 1t
is sometimes called, cider-press cake.
After the pectln has been extracted
about three-fourths Of the total weight
Of the pulp Is water, rendering 1t sub
ject to rapid spoilage. Heretofore 1t
has been thrown away, but 1t has been
found that when the pulp is dried
1t can be kept for a considerable time
and, because Of Its reduced weight,
handled and shipped economically.
Some manufacturers have recently In
stalled evaporators for drying the
pulp in order to market the product
for stock feed.
The feeding experiment included a
preliminary test with one COW for a
period of. 20 days, and later one
with cows. The dried pectin pulp
was always mixed with three times its
weight Of water several hours before
feeding In the first test the COW was
fed corn silage for 20 days, then, after
transition period Of 5 days, she was
given pectin pulp for 20 days, and,
after another transition period Of B
days, she was fed corn silage for an
other 20 days. In all these periods
grain was fed in connection with the
roughage.
The average production during the
corn-silage feeding-periods was 312
pounds of milk and 14.65 pounds of
butterfat. During the period when

distance-marketing obstacles that
seemed insurmountable a few years
ago-have been overcome by the grow
ers and shippers, and with continued
careful selection, grading, packing and
shipping, marketing experts say that
the industry will enjoy increasing
prosperity.
During the early years of the straw
berry industry in Louisiana several va
rieties Of berries were grown, and Chi
cago was the main market outlet. To-
day the Klondlke variety Is grown ex-
clusively, and Louisiana strawberries
have a wider distribution than the
strawberries from any other section
of the country. The quality Of the
fruit Is dependable, and there is every
where demand for the berries. When
picked the berries are carried to pack
ing sheds, where practically each one
is handled separately. Both the "a
pint Hallock crate and the 24-pint
ventilated crate have been used In
packing the fruit, although during the
past few seasons there has been a con.
siderable decrease in the use of Hal
locks crates, which are known locally
as "coffin" crates. Practically all grow
ers are now using ventilated crates, as
berries shipped in such containers ar
rive at market in sound condition and
usually command premium over the
price paid for berries in non-ventilated
crates.

report of conditions and prices at the
principal marketing centers through
out the country is issued by the local
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture. This in
formation Is obtained by trained mar.
ket reporters at consuming points.
The growers are also informed as to
daily carlot shipments everywhere in
the United States. Thus the pro-
ducers not only know the prices be-
ing paid for berries at the various con-
Stunning markets, but exactly what
competition may be expected from
other sections shipping strawberries
at about the same time. The depart
ment also furnishes daily information
regarding temperature and weather
conditions, so that the necessary Icing
and refrigeration can be provided for
the shipments.
The departments station at Ham
mond was opened in 1915, and was the
first field station established anywhere
by the United States Department of
Agriculture for the issuance of mar
ket news reports. Here, in the heart
of Loulsiana's strawberry producing
district, arrangements were first made
to study methods Of packing, ship
ping, and distributing strawberries In
the United States; to keep growers in
formed Of strawberry movements from
other regions, and to inform them daily
of prices and conditions in the lead
ing consuming markets. Hammond
was selected as the location for the
departments first field station because
of the large proportions that the Louis
lana strawberry industry had attained.
Louisiana then ranked fourth in COM
mercial strawberry Importance. To
day the state ranks second in carlot
shipments.

OF Agriculture)
Within six years Louisiana has
taken first place among the states as
regards value of strawberry produc-
ton. The 1921 season was the best
ever known In the industry, 1,4O0 car
loads Of Louisiana berries being mar
keted In IA cities In the United States
and Canada. In Chicago the 24-pint
crates brought as much as $3.50 each,
and during practically the entire mar
keting season Louisiana Strawberries
sold at higher price than any other
berries on the market, due to the
high quality of the product.
With such a record of achievement,
much interest centers in the opening
Of the 1922 marketing season. AS
heretofore field station Of the United
States Department of Agriculture will
be maintained in the Hammond dis
trict during the season to .-eep pro-
ducers and shippers informed daily of
strawberry marketing conditions In the
principal consuming markets, prevail
Ing prices, carlot shipments from COM

Ing Cows Which Saves Much Labor.
pectin pulp was fed the cow made
1863 pounds of milk and 1888 pounds
of fat. Although this test showed
that the pulp produced lat per cent
more milk and IL per cent more but
terfat than the corn sllage, the re-
suits can not be considered conclusive.
In the second and more extended ex-
pertinent the pectin pulp was COM
pared with dried beet pulp, feed that
1t resembles more closely than corn
silage. The cows were fed for 80
days on beet pulp soaked with three
times It's weight Of water, then, after
transition period Of 10 days, they
were fed for 30 days on pectin pulp
soaked with a similar quantity of
water. The soaking was from one
feeding time to. the next, but In warm
weather the pulp should not be
allowed to soak for more than one or
two hours. The pectin pulp contained
approximately Z per cent crude fat
(not all of which is true fat), Z per
cent crude protein, and 26 per cent
crude fiber, as compared with O.5 per
cent crude fat, per cent crude pro-
tein, and 20 per cent crude fiber in
beet pulp. The two feeds are similar
in being able to absorb water readily.
The cows while on the ration con-
tanning the beet pulp produced 4976.5
pounds of milk and 171.S6 pounds of
butterfat; while on the pectin-pulp ra-
ton they produced 1897 pounds of
milk and 1928 pounds of fat. Forty
pounds of the wet pulp were offered to
each cow daily. The palatability OF
the pectin pulp did not appear to be
so high MS that Of the beet pulp, since
the cows did not eat 1t so readily. 1t
seems that pound for pound of dry
matter the pectin pulp is superior to
corn silage and perhaps intermediate
between the sllage and beet pulp.
The loss of appetite for the pectin
pulp by some Of the cows may be at
tributed to the fact that 1t was the
less familiar feed and that the second
test was conducted during the summer
when cows are more apt to tire OF
such feeds.

tend to lay relatively few eggs be-

There is no one dominant cause Of
broodiness among poultry. Genetical-
ly, there occur four distinct types of
nonbroodiness and one of broodiness.
1t is believed that birds showing only
a slight tendency to broodiness belong
In the same class as the nOnbroody
fowls, as each has about the same
proportion of broody offspring. The
determination Of broodiness Is COM

are not broody during the pullet year
