FERTILE EGGS CAUSE HEAVY
LOSSES TO THE PRODUCER

Agricultural College News Notes.
The Colorado egg can be greatly
improved if the following points tire
given more attention. An egg is a
very perishabIe product. 1t is of the
best quality when freshly laid II
deieriorates very rapidly when sub
jected to certain conditions on its way
to the consumer.
An egg, to reach the consumer in
good shape, must be produced under
sanitary condition, as ii will be very
quickly contaminated by unsanitary
surroundings. Then, the next step in
the production of good quality eggs
is to provide clean pens for the hens
to lay in and keep the poultry houses
and yards in a sanitary condition.
An egg that has not beea fertilized
is of much better keeping quality
than a fertile egg. Then another i'm
portant step insuring a more lasting
quality in the Colorado egg is to re-
move all male birds from the laying
flock after the breeding season is
over and produce eggs for the market
that are infertile.
Millions of dollars worth of eggs
are lost every year during the hot
summer months because they are fer
tile An egg that is fertile will start
chick development at a temperature
as low as 20 degrees Most of the
eggs produced during the summer are
kept above this temperature, and as
the biggest percentage of Colorado
eggs are fertile when marketed, their
keeping qualities are not of the best.
Commission and produce houses
who are buying eggs on a quality
basis and paying a premium for these
eggs can be recommended, as they are
encouraging the production>of a bet
ter quality product. Good prices can
not be paid for uncandled, case count
eggs, and it is unfair to the poultry
raiser who produces a good quality
product to have to sell his eggs that
way.

FIVE GOOD POINTERS on
BREAKING THE BROODY HEN

Agricultural College News Notes
The period from April TO August is
the natural season for the develop
weni Of the brooding instinct Of the
hen. This is especially true OF the
heavier breeds. such As the Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes. Rhode Island Red,
Orphiugt0ns, BramaS, Cochins, etc
In 4 great many cases = large por-
lion Of the flock becomes. breedy dur
ing the summer and are a nuisance as
well a. greatly affecting the produc-
ti0n Of the flock. The poultry raiser
can overcome this to a marked degree
by giving a little additional care to
MS flock Of laying hens. Break the
broody hen not needed for incubation
and brooding, and get them back in
20 laying condition at the earliest
possible date. The proper way to
care for broody hens is as follows:
/. Remove the hens from the lay
ing house n frst signs Of broodiness,
which is a clucking, rufFling Of feath-
ers, sqaasing at ones approach or
remaining on the nest late in the
afternoon.
2. Place the brooiy hen in a coop
with Slated bottom. The coop should
be raised up from the ground to al
low free circulation of air under It.
This reduces the fever or temperature
which broody hen developes and if
confined in time will be quickly brok-
en- of her desire TO set.
3. Another good method of break
ing a broody hen is to confine her in
! closed pen with one or more vigor-
Gus male birds.
The broody hen should be fed and
watered as frequently as the other
birds in the flock They Will be
broken of their broodineSs just as
quickly and will be in much better
condition to start laying than the hen
that has been starved.
The broody hen should be remov-
ed from the broody coop just as soon
as the signs of broodiness are gone

IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT
UNDER STATE CONTROL

The largest irrigation development
in Colorado during the last ten years
is being made in Bent County, in the
lower Arkansas valley, under direc-
ton and control Of the State Board
of Land Commissioners and the state
engineer. The land was government
land segregated and passed to the state
under the terms Of the Carey Act,
and comprises fine body of %, 900
acres. 1t is officially known as Car
ey Act Segregation No.ll, and is being
constructed by the Mutual Carey Ir-
rigation Company, an association of
the land owners, and is being built
mutually and for cost
The majority of the land owners
come from Northern Colorado, with
others from the middle western
states. By monthly assessments,
$4,000 has been raised and expended
to date. Something like SiOO,O 900
additional will be needed to COM
plete.
This money is paid into trust by
the land owners, and can only be paid
out on the order of the State Board
of Land Commissioners. in payment
for construction costs. Thus by
mutual cooperation effort, homes for
$50 families will be provided and
property values approximating S3,-
100000 created.

The Alliance Of Hatreds

Sir: The Tribune seems to be the

this alliance that Germany has planned
revenge and restoration and Bolshe-

encouraging new construction, and
new construction is the only perma
nent solution of the housing prob
lem. The rent laws have been mis-
understood if they have been inter
preted as an al!.arounG experiment
in judicial rent fixing. Primarily
they limit dispossession, with rent
fixing for hold-overs as a brake on
the power to evict. They create an
inequality among tenants. But this
cannot last very long, for the migra-
tory habit will soon create here a big
majority outside the protection Of
the rent statutes. Then the latter
will disappear-possibly even before
the housing shortage itself has been
overcome.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-23
Rent Laws and Non-Hold- Over.

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court has cleared up a point
in the application Of the rent laws
about which there has been doubt, al
though, perhaps, there should not
have been. The court ruled that a
tenant who changed his residence
after the laws went into effect and
signed q new lease could not contest
payment Of rent on the ground that
it was excessive and unreasonable.
This decision puts out of the purview
Of the rent laws all New Workers
who have sought new quarters since
October j, 1920. 1t calls attention
sharply to the fact that there are
two groups of renters here-one a
preferred class, protected by the
laws, the other an unpreferred class,
unprotected by them.
This inequality was, Of course, in
herent in the method which the Leg
islature adopted to moderate the i'll
effects of the housing shortage. 1t
did not provide for a general judicial
determination of rent. It ap-
preached the problem from the angle
Of limitation of the power Of dis
possession. In order to stabilize oc-
cupancy and to prevent landlords
from taking undue advantage Of
the scarcity of accommodations as
against tenants already in posses
sion it denied the landlord the right
Of election for non-payment of a
rental which he could not prove in
court to be fair and reasonable.
This remedy could be availed Of
only by hold-ovcr tenants. Even if
such tenants had renewed leases at
higher figures, under threat and
duress, they retained the privilege of
seeking a determination in court.
But the general purpose Of the laws,
which was to enlarge the rights
vested by possession. would have
been frustrated if tenants who had
surrendered these rights and had oc-
cupied other quarters under a new
contract, voluntarily made, had been
placed on an equality with genuine
hold-overs. The laws put a premium
on continuous occupancy, intending
thus to relieve housing shortage
fr;.tions. They left the landlord an
unrestricted right to deal with new
tenants.
Freedom to deal at the market
rate with the newcomer and the
mover was an important factor in

The Opera Season

The annual season Of the Metro
politan Opera Company having come
to an end, the producing company is
able to announce that the year has
been an exceptionally prosperous
one.
Under the capable direction of
Gatti-Casazza there has been an in
crease of public patronage, and per-
formances Of great sumptuousness
and attractiveness have been the rule.
1t was feared that the loss of Caruso
would bring a decrease Of interest
but it has again been shown that an
institution tends to be greater than
any person and that year by year
the music lovers Of New York are a
group steadily growing. Perhaps
the day is not far distant when
again there will be two opera
houses, with the wholesome stimulus
of competition.
complaint is made now Of the
opera management, as it long mas
been made, that it fails to measure
up artistically to its unexamplcd op-
portunity. But year by year opti-
mists may say that some gains are
made, and when made they are usu-
ally held Taste is rising, even
though sometimes its progress seems
discouragingly slow. No other
musical organization in the world is
so extraneously favored as is the
Metropolitan. No one is able to
realize as high an ambition or to be
more center of musical inspiration.
Some day it will shake off the i'm
pediments that cloy and reach its
true high estate.
