URGED BY GOOD|NG

Both old political parties will be fight
ing for existence in 1924. at least in
that section of the country west of the
Mississippi river, unless something Is
done for the agriculturist in the way OF
relief legislation, President Coolidge
was told at the White House today by
Senator Frank r. Gooding of Idaho.
| The Idaho senator told the Executive
that the agricultural situation in the
west is deporable and declared that the
farmer and stock raisers have a slim
chance to exist much longer unless some
substantial relief is extended.
"The agriculurists do not want fancy.
high-sounding promises" the farm bloc
member said after his call on the Presi-
dent. "They want and deserve some
thing definite. They need federal aid
and they need 1t quick.
Urges Freight Rate Cut.
Senator Gooding said that among
the recommendations made by him to
the President was one for general
and substantial reduction in freight
rates on grain and farm products.
He told the President that the rates
are out OF proportion and the agri-
culturists have been losing money be-
cause of the high rates for too long
a period TO SIanu tibe SlTdiH much
longer
The agriculturists' interests are to
figure prominently in the next cam
paign, the Idaho senator declared.
He said that during his talk with the
President he made this fact very
clear He said he was not talking
idly when he predicted that the re-
publicans and the democrats had bet
ter get busy in putting forward some
thing definite and substantial in the
way of interesting and helping the
farmers If they have any idea of car
rying any number Of the states west
OF the Mississippi river. He declared
that the growers have reached II
point where they are more Interested
in their own salvation than they are
in the success or salvation of any of
the old parties.

An IDEAL PouLvRr HOUSE

After experimenting with various
types Of construction the poultry
man usually selects type Of build.
ing that is midway between these
two.
The most serious difficulty is
usually to secure satisfactory ventil-
alton. Far too many poultry houses
are built to take care of so to 100
hens and are used for three or four
times that number.
Although it is. not always possible
or advisable TO build poultry house
to fit all future requirements, care
should be taken to provide for in
creases or decreases in the flock.
Over-crowding If the flock in the
winter time often brings unsatisfac-
tory results and means considerable
loss.
Most farms can support flock of
400 to 400 hens economically. Poul-
try houses, however, are often based
on a .100-hen unit, which is an Geo.
nomical unit to use, as it takes very
little more to care for that many
hens than for half that number.
