FARM !.
POULTRY
FOUNDATION STOCK OF
FUTURE EGG LAYERS

prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture)
The buying of baby chicks is al
far more important problem than most
purchasers realize. Baby chicks con-
stitute the foundation stock of the
future layers and breeders and, there
fore, too much care cannot be exer-
cised in deciding upon the hatchery
from which to buy.
Officials of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture have OBJ
served that practical poultry raisers
and farmers are relying upon the
hatcheries more and more each sue
ceeding year as source Of supply
for their new crop Of chicks. In other
words, each year sees fewer and fewer
chicks Matched under hens and the
mammoth hatcheries are taking the
place, to a certain extent, Of the small
er incubators which are commonly op-
Grated on the farms. 1t is because
Of the fact that farmers are buying
baby chicks from the commercial
hatcheries in such large numbers that
the officials Of the department feel thet
necessity Of urging them to exercise
great care in deciding upon where to
buy this years supply Of chicks.
At the same time it should be point 4
ed out that many farmers, perhaps the
majority, will still find it more eco
nomical to do their own Matching This
Is especially the case where the farm
dock is of good standard quality and
las been bred for egg production. A
farmer Matching his own chicks knows
the quality Of chicks he can expect.
The commercial hatchery business
has developed to a very remarkable ex-
tent in the United States in the last
two years. Some Of the hatchery men
have estimated that practically double
the number Of baby chicks will be
Matched in mammoth hatcheries this
year compared with last There is
a great increase in the number Of
hatcheries, each varying in capacity
from a few thousand to several hum
dred thousand chicks.
The question Of Importance to pur-
chaser Of baby chicks is the source Of
supply Of eggs for the hatcheries. Many
Of the hatcheries have their own bust
ness well organized, and are able to
guarantee the quality Of the chicks.
Some Of the hatcheries, however, are
not so particular where they purchase
the eggs they use and are not able to
guarantee high-quality chicks.
Purchasers Of baby chicks would be
well advised, officials Of the depart
ment say, to rnake sure Of purchasing
from a reliable hatchery. Only pure
bred chicks should be bought. and In
addition to this the purchaser should
insist upon a satisfactory statement
from the hatchery man as to the quail
ity of eggs used. Were the eggs from
a standardized flock with trap-nest
records and was the flock in good
breeding condition? Purchase baby
chicks with great care. 1t is better to
pay few cents more for good quality
chicks that can be guaranteed.

Use Only Paper Irvine in
Tying Wool for Market

Wool growers are urged by the Unit
ed Stateg Department Of Agriculture
to use only paper Irvine in tying
feeces for market. Twine made Of
jute, hemp or sisal sheds fibers that
mix with the wool and reduces the
value Of the cloth made from such
wool. Some growers still persist In
using undesirable twines, and con-
siderable quantity of wool tied with
fbrous twines is being received in the
markets, according to reports from the
Boston Wool Trade association.
1t is practically impossible to re-
move all the tWine fibers, whereas par
ticles Of paper twine can be entirely
removed in the manufacturing process.
The .fibers of jute, hemp or sisal do
not take the dye in the manufacturing
process and show up in the cloth,
thus reducing the value OF the goods.
The Department Of Agriculture is
cooperating with the trade in CAM
paign to end the use of undesirable
Irvine and to aid wool growers to Sc
cure the desirable paper Irvine. Coun-
ty agricultural agents can help to Inn
press growers with the Importance OF
proper tying of fieeces.

MANY DAIRY COWS
GO OUT OF STATE.

Impossible highways during the
month Of March this year did not pre-
vent Wisconsin dairy farmers from
shipping 1900 head of dairy and breed
ing cattle to buyers from out of the
state.
This number exceeded that of any
previous March by at least SOC head.
According to A. o. Collentine, dairy ex-
tension specialist of the Wisconsin Col
lege Of Agriculture, Illinois and Iowa
were the best buyers. each taking more
than a thousand animals during the
month.
Collentine says that the eastern
trader is pinning his faith on stock from
tuberculosis-free areas. The explana-
ton for this is that he finds it difficult
to sell except on 60 to 90-day retest
guarantee.
Record time is made on freight ship
ments of dairy stock from Wisconsin
to eastern points where the shipper
has availed himself of eastern through
freight trains Collentine has found
that most shippers using the freight
route are loading their cars light and
providing feed and water SO as to
avoid delays and possible stock yard
infection in unloading while en- route.
Many other eastern shippers are
shortening the time by using the ex-
press service and loading the cars to
capacity thus cutting down the cost
per head, and are avoiding the neces-
sity Of unloading.
"Consignors at early sales found
little competitive bidding for their Of
ferings," declares Collentine. 'The
buyer is no doubt having his inning,
but quality offerings have found ready
sale and at somewhere near prices COM
mensurate with values. Many pure
bred breeders are off the market and
are not making any additions to their
herds on account Of being over-stocked.
Others are pailing their cows and sell
ing the product while the market for
breed stock is slow.
ssThe lack of competitive bidding has
made it possible for the outside buyer
to get offerings at much below their
values. Buyers from Idaho and Utah
have taken an active interest in pure
breds. Recently a load was shipped to
each state, and buyers of bulls for
bull clubs in New Mexico purchased
several with yearly records and of
good type"

Farm Labor Shortage Is
Greatest in the South

A shortage Of farm labor is report
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The supply on April
/ was estimated by the department at
90 per cent of the demand. There
was an even greater deficiency April
I a year ago when the supply was
but SO per cent Of the demand. The
greatest deficiency is In the South At
aantic states where the supply is "a
per cent of the demand, followed by
the North Atlantic states with 80 per
cent, the East North Central states
with 80 per cent, and the South Cen
trail states with 90 per cent. There
is an oversupply in the West North
Central states where the supply is 102
per cent Of the demand, and In the
Western states, including the Noun
tain and Pacific divisions. where it is
110 per cent.

Replacing Scrub Sires
With Improved Cattle

In the three months period January
l to March 81, 1924, the agricultural
forces active in replacing scrub sires
with pure breds had 8O6 new recruits.
This number of live stock owners, ac-
cording to records of the United States
Department of Agriculture, signed
agreements to use henceforth pure
bred sires exclusively for all classes
Of live stock owned. The number is
an increase Of more than 100 over that
for the preceding quarterly period.
The total number Of live stock owners
cooperating with the various states
and with the department in the "Bet-
ter Sires- Better Stock" campaign
now exceeds 1850.
