WASHINGTON. Dec. s6.-pemand
for iron and steel this year has been
tho greatest ever known.
Production. reported officially by
the U. $. department OF commerce
for the first nine months OF 1898, was
as follows:
steel ingo,s. s.7is.Ooo long tons
monthly.
Pis iron, $4,000 long tons per
month.
These data represent average
monthly output and were complied
after palnstaking study by experts
OF the commerce department. Both
represent record production.
Previous TO the current year. pro.
duction OF steel castings reached n
peak In 1917 when output averaged
3,6s&.s3s long tons a month. Plg iron
production reached peak In 1918
when output averaged a.253, $50 tons
a month. Both OF these records have
been broken this year. that OF pig
iron by 6 per cent and that OF steel
ingots by ! per cent.

GIVES POULTRY
PROFIT RECORD
Size and Quality important
Factors, Says Expert
BY X. ~. MILLER
Farm Management Specialist, Exten-
sion Service OF Washington
State College

The amount OF money a farmer
makes depends upon certain we'll do.
fined influences. or price. individual.
ly the farmer has little control. but.
other than price. the two points
size and quality Of business are most
important.
Nine hundred farmers kept poultry
records under tho direction OF the
extension service last year. one
hundred and Twenty-Five were tabu-
lated and summarized. These records
show the Importance Of high produc-
Ing hens and enough OF them to
make poultry keeping worth while.
Where records were tabulated TO
show tho influence OF size OF bust.
ness on labor income. the flocks aver.
aging so hens made their owners
labor incomes average t7s.2s for the
eight and q half months tho records
were kept. AL feed cost. depreciation
Of the birds. depreciation OF buildings
and equipment and all costs other
than labor charges were included In
the AlbuItb.
Where flocks averaged $50 hens
the labor income for the timo was
t263.43. Tho average OF SIS hens
shows the average labor income OF
s522.54. The highest labor incomes
were on farms having over 600 hens.
but merely having large number OF
hens is no indication OF high profits.
A large number OF poor laying hens
lose money very rapidly. The rec.
ords show that per cent OF the
poultrymen did not make feed cost.
counting nothing for labor.
Measuring the same records for
number Of eggs laid. where the flocks
averaged 40 eggs per year. the labor
income per hen was 81 cents. Where
the average lay was III eggs the in.
come per hen was ;1.o5 and a few
OF the highest producers. averaging
20s eggs per hen. made a labor In
come Of t1.is per hen.
II seems peculiar that nearly ali
the losses occur where the number
Of hens are under 22o and the egg
lay is between 1s5 and 1888. Few
larger flocks lost money. but many
had very low incomes,
In order to make money in any
business, close attention must be
given to the many details Of the busi.
ness. In most businesses this calls
for accurate accounts. In Washing.
ton some 1000 poultrymen are keep,
ing poultry records in books. Poul'
trymen recognize the fact that the
number OF hens must be large
enough to make the business worth
while and that high egg lay Is an
other vital point.

LUMBER TRADE J
IS HOLDING UP
Prices Are Expected to In
crease After First Of Year

Aitho retailers and consumers arc
in tho midst OF their inventories
there 10 a substantial demand for
Southern Pine and hardwoods. while
that for noftwoods other than pine
is incrcaaing. says the American
Lumbcrman. OF Chicago. Much Of
this call continues TO be for mixed
cars for immediate shipment, duo
TO tho low stocks generally In 70
tailcrs' hands and tho unusually
heavy volume OF building made pos
Eible by mild weather in most sec
lions OF tho country; but growing
percentage is for straight cars for
stock purposes. 10 be delivered att
the first OF the year.
Transit cars are in big denan
but few are offered. wholesalers re-
porting that tho recent strong de-
mand for them has almost COM
pletely cleaned out their lists. Tho
market shows n strong undertone.
Prices 10 far have advanced only
moderately. but arc expected TO In
crease materially after tho turn OF
the year. Besides a brisk spring
trade in building grades. there are
indications that much railroad and
car material business will DO placed
soon, as well as substantial orders
for other Industrial and export
items.
A revival OF demand from the oil
fields. for tlmbers and general build
ing material. appears imminent on
account OF tho brighter outlook for
the oil industry. The mills, holding
only light stocks. are making no
concessions nor resorting TO other
methods OF forcing lumber on the
market. but show every confidence
in the future.
The Douglas Dir situation Is little
changed. Export demand has shown
n temporary decrease since Deem
Der ]. but bookings from domestic
cargo markets hold up to the re-
cent level. Local trade remains
heavy. and while the Middle West
ern rail trade shows little actual
quickening. this market is produc-
tive OF q good deal moro inquiry.
indicating an early expansion in de-
mand. Prospects for railroad and
car material orders are bright. an
some OF this business Is alread
being figured on. With the excep
ton OF upper grade slash grain
boards and dimension. which recent
ly have been offered by some mills
at concessions. prices on coast lum-
Der hold up firmly.
Hardwood trade remains unusu-
| ally good for this late season. with
most important consumers buying
steadily. Dry hardwood stocks are
very low. especially in the North.
and prices are firm. with no nota-
bic changes during the last 30 days.

STOOD SHOCK

II. NJ. Hadley, district engineer for
the Portland Cement association. has
just returned to Seattle after a three
months trip in Japan. He was sent
TO investigate the results OF earth
quake shocks on concrete structures.
and states that they stood the severe
test remarkably well. He brought
home many photographs OF the dev.
astated area, and has many more
that will be sent from Japan later.

1923 Was Biggest Year
in Production of Steel
Greatest Demand Ever Known Follows
Dark Postwar Outlook

prise. When steel production rises.
business men In all lines feel conf.
deuco and assume that conditions
generally will be good
Tho iron and steel industry now In
on plano. as regards production,
which Is far above that OF tho pre-.
war period. In 1919. production OF
pig iron averaged about $500. 900 tons
monthly or nearly one.thlrd less than
at present output OF steel ingots
waa about tho same.
Then came the opening OF the
world war and sudden foreign de.
mand for products manufactured
from iron and steel The industry
expanded it's manufacturing facili.
ties and its finances. Tho United
States got Into tho war and further
expansion occurred, The depression
followed. Plants closed down. B,isi.
ness men wondered how tho plant
extensions OF tho war period could
ever again DO used.
A member Of the cabinet predicted
that tho demand for steel would In.
crease To point far beyond that Of
tho war pediod. This was during de.
preston. steel mon laughed They
said this government official was n
visionary despite tho fact that his
home was In ono OF tho nations big.

The prediction mndo by this Nom.
Der OF tho cabinet Is now being
proved true. From tho standpoint
OF production. 1874 has been tho
