j. s. WON'T BACK
CHESTERPRO|ECT
Contrary to Departments
Policy to Intervene in Pri-
vate Companies.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 13-Secre-
tary of State Hughes has definitely
declined to use the offices of his de-
partment to insure that Americans
shall retain control of the Chester
concessions in Angora. now incor-
porated as the Ottoman-American De-
velopment Company, 1t was disclosed
yesterday in "a letter from Henry
woodhouse. largest stockholder. to
others interested in the venture.
AS representative of the Ottoman
American Company, Mr.. Woodhouse
had suggested to the Department of
State that it might desire to verify
newspaper reports that Americans
had obtained the concessions. He also
asked what would be the departments
attitude toward insuring American
control OF the development corpora
tion under proposed readjustment
OF stock interests.
TT is contrary to the practice Of
this department to intervene in the
internal affairs of private compa-
nies.' was the reply Mr. Woodhouse
quoted from letter written for Mr.
division of near eastern affairs. The
State Department is, therefore. not
in a position to comply with your re-
quests"
Mr.. Dulles wrote further that pro-
moters of the development company
appeared to have been misinformed
in asserting that a voting trust
agreement, entered into last Decem-
ber. was drawn at the request OF the
State Department.
"This was by no means the case,
he wrote Nor was the department.
aware until after the agreement had
gone into effect that it contained a
reference to the department. It Is
hardly necessary to add that this ref
erence was entirely unauthorized and
was significant only of the signers,
and not of the departments policy"
Mr.. Woodhouse announces to stock
holders in the corporation that. be-
cause Of the attitude of the State De-
partment and the recent resignation
Of several trustees who were to
have undertaken to finance the Ches-
ter concessions for several hundred
million dollars. the voting trust
would be discontinued and the $4,000
shares Of stock voted henceforth by
individual owners.

Fowls Appreciate Good
Feed of Grain at Night

A hen consumes approximately four
ounces of food a day, and poultry au-
thorities at Minnesota University farm
find she will eat two ounces of this in
the form of dry mash when it Is avail
able. These ground grains are quickly
digested, and the fowl Is saved the
trouble of grinding all the feed In her
crop, Thus by feeding dry mash pro
duction can be forced.
The other two ounces of feed, says
the poultrymen, should be in the form
Of whole or cracked grains, fed twice
a day in a deep, clean litter, giving a
little less than an ounce in the morn
ing and a little more than an ounce at
night. The hens crop is small and the
winter nights are long, consequently
the heavier feeding should be given at
night. Care should be taken always
that the fowls go on the roosts with
full crops.

Arrangement for Hog
Feeding Quite Handy
Originated and Used at Hi
nois Experiment Station.

A handy arrangement for feeding
hogs originated and used at the Hi
nois agricultural experiment station
farm is shown herewith. Ii consists
of a concrete feeding floor II feet wide
and IA feet tong and two concrete
troughs each II feet long made sep
arate from the moor. AT the outside
orner of the troughs four posts are
set in the concrete floor. To these
are spiked = by S-inch pieces
which support panels which n
be swung over the troughs. This
feature enables the herdsman TO keep
the hogs away from the trough while
Il is being filed. A strap iron fixture
holds the panel In the position de-
sired.
One of the easiest improvements for
the hog raiser TO build is a concrete
feeding floor; and ii will bring him
quicker and larger returns for the
money invested than any other part OF
his hog raising equipment. Los OF
valuable feed is prevented when hogs
are fed on a concrete door.
Considerable time and labor will be
saved if the feeding floor Is located
near the %corncrib or granary. II is
desirable to place the feeding floor on
the south or east side Of the corncrib
or hoghOuse, as il will then be largely
protected from cold winds. The ioca-
ton selected should be well drained.
Where the ground is firm and well
drained. concrete may be laid directly

Training Shipper
to Grade and Pack
Much Waste and Loss OF
Fruits and Vegetables
Can Be Prevented.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Waste and loss IN fruits n veSe-
tables due 10 spoilage or breakage III
transit have been one OF the serious
problems connected with the prontanie
production and selling of perishaDle
foods.
The market specialists of the bu-
reau of agricultural economics OF the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture have long urged growers TO take
steps TO prevent this unnecessary
waste, which brings them no proht ana
often means a serious loss, N the same
time reducing the total supply oil
fruits aud vegetables, Increased care
in selecting, grading, packing ana
shipping their products has accom-
piisAed much in spite of the risks IN
yolyed in shipping ~perishables over
Tong distances, across deserts, noun
,ains ami plains in all kinds OF
weather.
Tomatoes All Year
Tomatoes are now found on the
large markets practically all the year,
coming from Mexico, Cuba, and the
Bahamas in early winter, from Florida
and south Texas next, and from east
Texas. Mississippi and Tennessee dur
ing the spring. Ohio, Illinois and New
! Jersey supply the summer trade of the
large eastern markets until local grow
ers and home gardeners can fill the
demand. California ships tomatoes
from May TO November. I'm order to
avoid high freight charges ON toma-
toes which will spoil in transit, very
careful grading and packing must be
done by the shippers. Both consumer
and grower reap the benefit of this
aare preceding shipment.
Losses and waste N handling poorly
graded cabbage are quite frequent.
The shippers lose by their own negli-
gence and the consumer hoses because
of the lessened supply, poor quality
and higher local prices. Growers are
being Systematically urged not to ship
Over-ripe. decayed and soft heads of
cabbage.
Grade All Products.
The large associations Of potato
growers have succeeded in grading
their products under brand names
which protect the customer against
diversified, hollow and defective tubers.
Boxed apples from the Northwest
leave that region splendidly graded. M
though at times they suffer unavOid-
ably in transit to eastern markets.
California growers are making vigar-
efforts to put only standardized
cantaloupes, citrus fruits and other
products IN the market, to avoid ship
ping either green OF overripe melons
and to enforce such rigid grading,
packing and shipping rules that only
those oranges, grapefruits and lemons
which will surely withstand travel and
changes in climate, are now being
shipped.
The list might be indefinitely con,
tinued. Every effort is being made by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture to influence growers to grade
their products and pack them properly
for shipment, enabling the house,
keeper, who is the final purchaser OF
CALIFORNIA; cantaloupes, Florida's 20,
matoes, or Oregon's apples, to obtain
her moneys worth when she deals
with the retail st~orekeeper.

Rules for Good Speakers.

Sir Ernest Wild, recorder Of the
city of London, addressing boys Of the
Norwich Grammar school. advised
them to become good speakers and
gave them seven rules, as follows
Get used to the sound Of your own
voice; listen to practiced and unprac.
ticed speakers and time them. Study
your subject so as to be able to make
your points, or preferably your point,
and avoid vain repetition. Don't be
discouraged by initial failure. Al
ways feel nervous. If you tackle a
job and you approach II without feel
ing at all nervous, you are sure to do
it badly. Speak from notes, not from
manuscript, and learn a speech.
Forget yourself, but never your audi
ence.

Much Butter Being Made
on a Household Scale

Farmers and their wives residing IN
the approximately 100000 farms,
where at least one cow is kept on
each, continue the practice Of making
butter on a household scale, despite
the growth of modern creamerles to
the extent of 1886 in number in 1920.
For the purpose OF making butter on
the farms, 1925, 100000 pounds Of
whole milk were utilized last year and
$685. 900 pounds Of this product was
manufactured. Thus nearly AZ per
cent Of the total butter production Of
the United States is made on approx.
mately one-half of the farms Of the
country.
