CHILD LAW BACKING.
UPHELDBY UNIONS.
Central Labor Body Here
Charges Untruths Are Cir
cuIated by Opposition.

Charges that manufacturing inter
ests and their allies who oppose the
child labor amendment to the Consti-
tuition are circulating untruths IN
alleging that proponents Of the
amendment are tainted with soviet
ism are contained in an official state
nent by the Central Labor Union
issued following a meeting in Musi
clans Hall. 1906 E street, last night.
After a. protracted discussion Of the
situation, the organization voted
unanimously to make public an off,
.cial summing up of the situation
from the viewpoint of local trade
unionists. The statement proclairns
unionists at the allegations.
Denying the allegation that propo-
nents of child labor are closely al
lied with the Russian Soviet" the
tatement points out that Samuel
Gompers, late president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who was
the chief prepayment of the pending
child labor amendment" was unal-
terably opposed to the Russian So
yiets, and adds that in this instance
alone is a non-refutable answer to
the charge that child labor amend
ment advocates and the Soviets are
coallied.
Called Foolish FalsehOOd.
'So statement could be more foolish
than this persistent falsehood about
the origin of the child labor amend
ment, and no statement could more
clearly reveal the character of the
opposition to the amendment, which
thus betrays it's fear of fighting the
battle upon the merits of the ques--
ton. 1t attempts, instead, to divert
the public mind from the real ques-
ton by false and silly charges.
THE American Federation of Labor
and It's affiliated bodies, of which the
Central Labor Union of Washington
is one. have from the, beginning of
their existence opposed child labor.
They oppose 1t because many of their
members know by personal expert
ence what it means to be child la
borers. They oppose it because they
know that it produces and reproduces
poverty, Ill health and Hitter
acy.
The statement then summarizes the
intents of the child labor amendment,
pointing out that. In itself the
amendment contains no prohibition
whatever, merely containing a grant
of power to Congress to enable the
Federal Legislature to make laws
against exploitation of childhood at
injurious labor, during premature age.

How They Parcel Out the State.

gibly not clear and distinct as the map
shows it. Cheese is made in the sec
ton shown as producing butter and
the other way round Sometimes To-
calities change from one to the other.
Climate and Soil Are Factors.
Climate and soil have been consid-
cred important factors. They do not
decide the product, however, as studies
made by A. r. Whitson Of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture show. He
found that there is tendency for
cheese to follow good pasture land,
which is usually rather heavy upland
soils, but this does not always happen.
The average temperature seems to
have some influence on whether butter
or cheese. is made, but he is unable to
say how much.
B. n. Hibbard, also of the college of
agriculture, states that the condensa-
ries adjoining the whole milk areas
can be accounted for by their desire
to have large milk supply in small
area They have crowded into the
sections which had already developed
such supplies, SO they are competing
with the whole milk trade.

Sudden Change Of Feed
Causes Pullet to Mott

Any sudden change in feeding or
care Of a flock of laying pullets Is
likely to induce a partial mott and
check egg production. For this rea-
son, any needed changes should be
made gradually. If the kind of feed
is to be changed, gradually substitute
the new for the old, not Immediately
disseminating one thing to give an
other of different kind. Do not
change suddenly from wet to dry, or
dry to wet mashes, or make great
changes in the amount Of meat scrap
fed. 1t is Of course necessary that
changes should be made in the man
agement Of flock at times, but avoid
the shock to what appears to be very
susceptible nervous system Of hens
that ensues from quick changes.
know of no way Of helping a flock
through its mott, other than by good
care and feeding, says writer in the
Rural New Yorker. Do not change
the accustomed ration, with the idea
Of helping the mott along, providing
that you were feeding a suitable laying
ration before the mott began.

Rolling Poultry Houses
Beneficial to Keepers

Poultry houses on wheels are not
popular in the United States, but 1t
may be beneficial to some poultry
keepers to know little more about
such houses. On every farm are tracts
of land where during certain periods
of the year there is much food for the
hens, but which will be wasted I'M
less the flock is moved out to the
fields. Dragging houses around on
runners is not a popular job but they
are quite easily moved when mounted
on wheels. A house on wheels can
be used as brocder house, laying house,
or for special matings, and is especial
ly adapted for hospital use as 1t can
readily be moved away far enough to
protect the healthy birds from infec-
ton. The construction is very simple
ali that is needed is just an axle and
a couple of wheels. Most every farm
er has some old wheels around his
place, which he may never use for any
other purpose and an old axle usually
can be found also. If the axle is To-
Gated so that the house will be fairly
well balanced on it it can readily be
handled on two wheels, IL not too
large.

tain factory or creamery was estab-
lished Is another reason he mentions
as controlling the kind of product.
Whichever had been paying best was
selected. This accounts for much of
the mixing Of the industries.
From Community to Community.
Cheese or butter-making got q start
and spread through the community.
This, combined with which was pay
ing best when a new enterprise was
started, accounts largely for the loca-
tion Of each product" FL. G. Larson,
secretary Of the Wisconsin Butter
Makers association, believes. There
are constant changes" he says, for
which it Is hard to account"
That the early settlers along the
lake started making cheese because 1t
would keep well and could easily be
sent to market by water is the idea adj
vanced by j. L. Sammis of the dairy
department Of the university. From
the shore it spread inland until it met
the butter production of the West.
Butter-making has always predominant
ed along the Mississippi, he says. and
spread from there. The industries have
now met and overlapped.

PROVIDE DUCKLINGS
WITH AMPLE SHADE

Shade must be provided for the
ducklings. Many Of the sudden deaths
among ducklings are due solely to
sunstroke. If there are NO low grow
ing bushes, and no shade of trees,
make shelters of burlap or of branches
and keep the water there. Sun-heated
water is bad; change the water often
and keep it cool as possible.
After they are thirty-six hours old,
ducklings should be fed five times
daily at first. A government ration
calls for mixture OF equal parts by
measure Of rolled oats and bread
crumbs with per cent of sharp sand
mixed in the feed. The amount need
ed for one feed should be moistened
and given near the drinking fountains
so the dudklings can drink as they eat.
About the third day this feed is
changed to equal parts Of bread, rolled
oats, bran and cornmeal; then after
the seventh day to three parts Of bran,
one part each Of low grade wheat flour
and Of cornmeal, 10 per cent of green
feed and per cent of beef scrap, with
about per cent Of sand or grit in all
Of the rations. All to be fed slightly
damp.
The amount Of beef scrap is grad
ually increased to is per cent by the
end Of the third week. Gradually in
crease the proportion of cornmeal and
decrease the amount of bran until the
ration becomes the fattening ration
given below for those ducklings which
are to be marketed. Those to be saved
for breeding should be given the duck
ling ration with the increased beef
scrap (15 per cent? but not fed the fat
tening ration. They should also be
given a good range where grass and
water are available. If confined to
bare yards, considerable green feed
and vegetables should be fed.
The ducklings to be marketed should
be fattened for two weeks before kill
ing, on ration made Of three parts
by weight Of cornmeal, two parts OF
low-grade -four or mlddlings one part
Of bran, one-half part beef scrap, with
8 per cent grit and 10 per cent green
food. Oyster shell, or ground bone Is
an addition to the mash.

But 46 Of the 2,239 county agents

This is the record at the close of
the first decade Of cooperative ex-

May 8 marked the close Of ten years

agent, is still In extension work for

Since the federal law has been in
operation, the number Of workers in
tho United States has grown until
now. besides the 2,239 county agents,
there are 921 home demonstration
agents and 126 boys and girls club
agents. These, together with the
specialists and administrative force,

more profitable farming and healthier,
happier homes.
