HEN LAYS EGG WITH
DATE 1926 ON SHELL

Winnipeg.-Just as the fish has
been adopted in the United States as
the source of all tales, weird and
phantasmagOrial, so is the hen to be
hailed by all Canada as the harbinger
of the impossible.
The story of the most recent ac-
complishment of a Canadian pulIet
was brought here recently by Ron
aid James, a well known poultry deal
er,
According to Mr. James, a hen
owned by Angelo CoIbertaido, Bedson,
Alberta. has produced an egg with
the figures 1926" plainly inscribed
on both sides of the shell. Just what
is to occur in that particular year
the egg did not reveal.
Sufficient to say, however, the feat
actually eclipsed that Of the Ontario
hen, which laid the egg with the
dire legend World ends 1920" inscrib-
ed on the shell.
Colbertaido, according to James,
can attribute nothing to the accom-.
plishment Of his marvellous pullet.
The egg, he said remains just as it
was taken from the nest February
rs.
The figures are about an inch in
height and successfully resist all eff.
forts to remove them from the shell,
Mr., James said.
ColbertaidO is on record as en-
phatically denying ever having fed
his unique fowl any calenders.

COFFIN POINTS WAY
FOR TAX ASSESSORS
TO CATCH DODGERS
HEAD OF ILLINOIS COMMISSION
OFFERS HELP TO LOCAL MEN
CALLS ATTENTION TO FLA
GRANT ATTEMPTS TO AVOID
PAYING PROPER SHARES.

Springfield, Ill, April lS.-In a let,
ter addressed to every county board
of assessors in Illinois calling atten
ton to the great amount OF personal
property escaping taxation. Percy B.
Coffin, chairman Of the state tax COM
mission, has eudeayored to assist as.
sessing officers to secure complete
enumeration OF properties.
Coffin inclosed a tabulated state
ment showing the total assessed value
Of personal property in each Of the
counties in the state listed for taxa
ton in the year 1921, showing the as.
sessed value Of enumerated property,
the assessed value OF unenumerata
personal property and the percentages
of each.
The revenue law. requiring that all
personal property be listed or enum'
Grated according to classes and items
is being utterly disregarded and ig.
nOred. Coffin says. Inadequate and in.
equitable assessments Of personal
property imposes an unjust burden on
all other classes OF property, he says,
in threatening TO order q reaSsess-
ment.
The tax commission realizes the
inconvenience and the effort and *.
pense which will be caused by its
ordering reassess ments, his state
ment says, but that power was vest
cd in the commission to help secure
compliance with the law, and the conf
mission is calling the attention Of
local assessing officers to the require.
ments of the law at the beginning Of
the present assessing period in order
to avoid the necessity Of using this
power

CHANGES IN WHEAT
GRADING ORDERED
BY SEC'Y WALLACE:
CHIEF MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT OF VARIOUS
REVlSloNS IN SYSTEM HERETO.
FORE EMPLOYED TO CLASSIFY
GRAIN FOR MARKET.

Washington, April 1S,-Various
changes in wheat grades were an
nounced yesterday by Secretary Wal
lace after an eXhautiye study into
the grain situation by agricultural de.
partment specialists working with a
special committee headed by Or. John
Lee Coulter of North Dakota and Pro-
fessor H. a. Fitz of Kansas.
Certain changes, Mr.. Wallace an.
nounced, in rules for the Certiticatiol
Of hard red spring and durum wheat.
at Minneapolis and Duluth and other
markets, will require inspectors to
state in addition to the grade, ade-
uuate information as to the kind and
quality Of foreign material other than
dockage. and the amount of moisture
and as to what would be the grade
of the wheat otherwise.
Under this method the secretary
said the virtues of wheat which had
not properly been recognized at couu-
try points would be pointed out.
Effective July Il, the classes com
mon white and white club will
form one class, designated white
wheat which will be subdivided into
hard white, soft white and western
withdrawing the same application
of the hard white and soft white sub.
stitute classes as at present and des-
ignating as western wheat all white
wheatS or mixtures of white Whea'S
containing more than 10 per cent
clubs or Sonora.
Soft red winter wheat, known as
red walla. will be called western
red and the standards will be amend
ed, effective July II.
Inspection rules also will require
inspectors to state the grade thar
would be assigned to wheat if it were
not weevily, and in the case OF gar
licky wheat. to show the amount CT
garlic found, which, the secretary said.
will give basis for price information
showing the cash prices paid at the
principal terminal markets for wheat
containing different quantities OF scr.
lic"
The department, it was added, viii
promote an intensive development and
dissemination of market information
as to prices Of various qualities al the
terminal cash markets, so that coun-
try buyers and farmers will not be
dependent upon fiat or average grade
price quotations.
1t is planned also to develop a more
thorough understanding on the part
Of farmers and country buyers OF the
elements and purposes of wheat grad
To- nd q
grading rules so that they may CO.
ordinate such knowledge with the
market information furnished them.
