The commonest and simplest
method of crate fattening is to
place a few birds in an ordi-

a trough filled with water-soak-
ed cracked corn outside the
crate within reach of the fowls
within. No water separately is
given the birds. The birds will
stand this confinement and hea-
wy feeding only about 10 days,
when they should be in prime
condition. After this length of
time they will go off their feed
and lose in weight. The corn
must be so wet that it practi-
cally stands in water. Some
confine their birds in building
and feed the wet cracked corn
in a narrow covered crate long
enough to allow all fowls to
eat at once.
Another way is to feed a
mash, sloppy wet, of the fol-
lowing mixture, giving no wa
ter separately: 100 pounds of
corn meal, 80 bran, so shipstuff

1t is announced that one of the first
activities of the new organization will
be to oppose a general revision of the

the present policy of reopening sched-

says Mr.. Claiborne, "and they want

bringing about this result"

Claiborne's home town, Congressman

1t has no courthouse or city hall, no
ordinances, no police force. When
taxes fall due, the collector has only to
go to Robert E. Lee Wilson and say:
'Air. Wilson, give me a check for taxes

Wilson writes the check, covering all

The town Of Wilson has only one law
and that is unwritten. It is that every
body must work. There are no idle
men in the town and vagrants are not
tolerated. There can be no undesirable
citizens because Wilson, who owns all
the houses, will not rent homes to unde
sirables.
Homes Are Modern.
Everybody in Wilson is a renter
Even the one man who owns and runs
the town writes a check, payable to
himself, every month for $45. That is
the highest rent paid, and only two
other citizens pay that much. Other
tenants pay $3.50 to S27.5O a month,
with a few exceptions, where the
rentals are $50 to $40.
Every home in Wilson, whether It is
a threerOOm cottage Or a mansion, is
equipped with electric lights, tub and
shower baths, hot and cold water, tele-
phone, hedge, flower garden, truck
patch, and chicken yard.
Wilson has Industries that represent !
a total investment of $1,OOO,OOO. These
produce annually nearly $2,OO0,00C |

Of cultivated and timbered land, all
owned by Wilson. The principal agri-
cultural products are cotton, corn
wheat and alfalfa.
Wilson's 18 cotton plantations, with
a total area Of 5000 acres, will produce
this year 5000 bales Of cotton. Corn
was harvested from 5000 acres, wheat
from 200 acres, and alfalfa from 800
acres. The farm is so big that Wilson
employs his own agricultural expert
and a general plantation manager who
has supervision over 18 zone managers

and rice, and protection is nice to the
Democrats of Louisiana.
Speaking shortly after the passage
of the Fordney-McCumber law, John
e. EdgertOn, a Tennessean, president
of the National Association Of Manu-
facturers, said: There is strong like
lihood that we have witnessed the last
general political revision of the tariff
Within standard established
by Congress, the Chief Executive, upon
the investigation and recommendation
of the Tariff Commission, may adjust
rates within so per cent limits, to
equalize costs of production in our
competition with foreign producers. If
the validity Of the legal principle is
sustained, as I have no doubt it will
be, and the administrative experiment
is successful, as I believe it must be,
the occasion for general political re-
vision of tariff rates is passed." The
Association will strongly combat any
attempt to make general revision of
the tariff.
In its Buffalo convention of some
years ago, the American Federation of
Labor went on record with q resolu-
tion indorsing the protective policy,
and whatever Mr., Gompers may have
to say in derogation of that policy, the
Federation stands pat
1t is confidently predicted that be-
fore the next campaign the operation
of the present tariff law and the
strong Endorsement of it by all sec

too formidable an institution for the

 Look at nly report, Aunt May belle said Marie. thrusting her re- port at her aunt.k
 "And where is yours. daughter?" Hilda's mother demanded.
 "Oh darling. don't call me 'daugh- ter,' evaded Hilda.
 Then coaxing the child's report card from her, the mother began to scrutinize it.
 '1 suppose you've disappointed me again" she exclaimed, while Iiilda stood pulling nervously at her little handkerchief.
 Why is it. the mother asked, "that one member of the family has all the brains? Oh, Hilda. this is too disheartening" she said.
 But, look, Mrs. Field beggad Hilda, handing me the report. Don't you think my art grade is good?'
 It was excellent. and so was her music grade, both of which the mother seemed to have ignored.

simplicity of the administrative sys. tem as contrasted with the com plicated Federal organizations. It is the wish and purpose of the Presi- dent and Cabinet 10 give the Terri tory a fuller and freer hand in work | ing out tho destinies of the Terri teiy and this will steadily come about.
 T am in complete accord with the views expressed by the President on material questions affecting Alaska
 His commitment to liberalized regu- lations to hasten wood pulp and paper enterprises and the develop ment Of the oil fields is timely and important. TlA pioneer chance must be given to investment.
 Most of the administrative de- fleets and difficulties in Alaska can be adjusted without legislation and this adjustment is now under way. It means not only coordination and concentration of authority, but a bringing of the administration closer home to Alaska. This need is press ing and too apparent to permit of discussion.
 Strict Fisheries Policy.
 T am gratified that the President spoke out unqualified and in no compromising terms as to the fixed policy of the government to regulate the fisheries of Alaska. There will be regulation and strict supervision. Conservation of the fisheries is inn peratiYe. I have never favored the reserve system or idea, but in the absence of legislation it is today the only alternative. The reserves in the waters to the Westward have operated successfully during the past year. The outcry about fishermen being denied their rights is with cut basis in fact. For months I have sought a specific case of any man or set of men being injured by the establishment of fishing zones and have been unable to find q single instance. Uniformly permits have been issued to fishermen with out delay. The curtailment of nets and ether fishing gear during the season has approximately forty per cent. This means conservation. At Anchorage, Seward and Cordova Sec retary Hoover held hearings and not a complaint was submitted to him. It is improbable that legislation <by Congress, vesting full authority in the Department of Commerce, can be secured during the next short session. Extremists meet whenever fisheries law is under considera- tion and oquitable legislation is retarded and rendered well-nigh im- possible. Conditions in the various hshing waters of Alaska are divergent and regulations cannot be made uniform. Under the direction of such man as Herbert Hoover un- queationably all just rights will be protected and maintained and real conservation achieved in the inter- egt, not only of Alaska, but the world at large, It is patent that the fisheries problem can not be rightly solved as political issue and Alaskans may depend upon 1t that politics will, not be permitted to stand in the way of essential regulations.
