MUssELs TO Be CULTIVATED


An important step toward Insurlng
an adequate supply of raw material
for the pearl-button industry is being
made by the United States bureau OF
fisheries. which. for the first time In
history Is cultivating fresh-wnter mus
sells during the entire first year Of their
growth. The activity OF musseI cuI-
turlsts heretofore has been confined to
getting the young biyalves well start
ed-in life, during the brief period when
they attach themselves to the gills and
fins of fish. Now. however. as a check
upon the effectiveness Of their work,
the fish will be kept in large wooden
troughs until the mussels drop of, af-
ter which the latter VIII be retained
in the wooden tanks for a year, the
better to observe and facilitate their
growth. The mussels will then be
planted in their natural environment
to complete their life cycle.-Popuar

RECORD IN CROPS
Western Canada Farmers AS
sured Of Bountiful Yields.



From as early as April II. when
seeding became general throughout the
Western Canadian Provinces, was
there anything but optimism In the
feelings Of the farmers Of that coun-
try. An uninterrupted chain of favor
able conditions have bound the early
seeding data with the conditions of
the crop today. There were no set
backs. There may have been hail
storm or two with some III effects
through portions Of the country, but
the track they took was SO small
that the percentage of loss was al
most imperceptible compared with the
whole. Rains fell just when needed,
the sun shone as II regulated by the
farmer himself. the ground. generally,
was In perfect condition and fully re-
sponsive. 1t is now a question of rival
ry between districts and provinces
which will produce the greatest re-
suits In crop yields and averages. Out

or in the south, that which gave as

The fact is apparent that Western

should not be forgotten that these

many cases cost less than $40 an acre

to secure improved farms at very low

Important That Poults
Have Good Free Range

Turkey poults must have free range
as soon as they are strong enough, but
should not be allowed out in wet
grass in early morning; keep them in
until the dew has disappeared. But
they will not stand close confinement
and this means that they must have
either a turkey hen or a common hen
as foster mother to range with them.
A common hen will accommodate seven
to nine poults. while a turkey hen
can take care Of 10 to IS poults. 1t
does not pay to crowd them, however,
and experts say that the best number
for a turkey hen to handle is around
ten poults. 1t is well to plan to have
either common setting hen or a tur-
key hen ready to adopt the poults as
soon as Matched.

Fertilizer Combination

Young Turkeys Require
Proper Kind of Feeds

A good first feed for poults is ground
dry bread mixed with hard-boIled egg.
After the first week they need fine
chick scratch grain. Turkeys are
seed-eating birds and do not thrive on
mashes alone. Plenty Of sour milk
helps to prevent digestive disorders
and stimulate rapid growth. Young
turkeys sometimes die because of low
vitality, due to a weakness in the
breeding stock. Seine have blaclxhead
and others die of various digestive dis
orders due to the feed. Young tur-
keys must not be overfed and the
feed and feeding places must be as
clean as possible. Perform a post
norton on any turkeys that die and
note the condition of the liver and
other organs.

CHICAGO, March 30-With Easter but two days away, and new clothes fer the multitude almost as scarce as bootleggers without a diamond, a new wear between dyers and clean CTS here threatens to make barrels and gunny sacks popular on "Boul Mioa" during the Easter afternoon parade.
 Gents who resurrected gray striped trousers from attics for a trip to the cleaners, in preparation may have to forsake their promenade CT borrow another pair.
 Early Friday four men entered the Fred Hummel cleaning and dyeing establishment, Kidnapped two work CTS, and after pouring oil on suits to be delivered In time for Sunday wear touched them off with a match. Fred Weiner, part owner of the establishment, said he had refused to bargain with union leaders to cut his prices.
 This is believed responsible fer the burning of the establishment. While police were busy investigating this complaint, a driver for the Universal Cleaners and Dyers company. was held up by two men,, forced from his truck and kidnapped.
 When he found his way back to the place he had left his truck, all the nicely pressed and cleaned suits he was delivering to waiting Beau Brummels had been stolen.

WORLD OUTPUT OF SUGAR FOR YEAR WILL BE LARGER
Department of Agriculture Sees Increase in Pro-
 ductiOn Ahead

WASHINGTON, March 3o.--An i'm crease of 100000 tons in the world production of sugar this year Is fore cast in an official statement issued by the department of agriculture.
 This years world crop is estl mated at 2o,45o.oOo short tons, or 2,000,o00 tons more than the pre-war average.
 No figures are given, however, for the size of the surplus, recently es- timated by the department of com merce at 476.000 tons. The depart ment Is not prepared, the statement says, to estimate the probable con- sumption. due to various factors. such as prohibition. business condi- tions and price. It adds, however, that people of this country have oon- stunned great deal more sugar in recent years, and that consumption was doubtless encouraged last year by its cheapness.
 Larger Consumption.
 In giving out it's figures, the de- partment of agriculture was careful to avoid any misinterpretation and to steer clear of the trouble encoun tered recently by the department of commerce.
 Larger World Sugar Production This Year" was the heading on it's statement lsbueU lHtS fTtudy 10 Clear up existing confusion.
 Beet sugar production in Canada and the United States is estimated at 745,0Oo tons. While this is 47,0o0 tons less than last year. it will be more than offset by an increase of 506, GOO tons in European production the department states.
 Total cane sugar production this year will be 14.735.000 tons, com pared with 14.690.000 tons last year. it is estimated. Cuba alone will pro- duce 4,596,000 tons. 1t is estimated, which is 12O,o0o tons more than last year.
 Stocks on Hand.
 !. Stocks on hand must always be taken into consideration when mak- ing an estimate, the department says, but statistics on stocks in many countries are incomplete or unre- liable. In Cuba. stocks were low at the beginning of this crop year in November last year-only 92,6O0 tons, compared to 467,o0o tons at the same time the year before. However, the 1921 stock was abnormally large, as a ten-year average, 1912-21, was ss,- 900 tons. Stocks outside of Cuba were somewhat greater In 1922 than in 1921, 1,330,o00 against 1,2S9, 900 tons.
