 I desire to offer a suggestion rela- tive to poor nutrition among the chil- dren. We have a clinic for tonsils and adenoids, for defective vision, and for the tubercular. What we need now is to give all the help possible where un- dernutrition is indicated. The fore noon hours at school are long, and we have found that many children arrive in the morning who have not had suffi- cient nodrishment. Unless this con dition can be corrected, fear that we will have to keep Dr. Campbell with us for long time, for the bacillus of consumption likes an empty stomach. IL seems to me that at the 10 o'clock recess there ought to be a lunch for every child, at least q glass of milk. Would 1t not be possible to establish at our town farm a dairy which would be able to furnish a glass of milk daily to every undernourished child in our schools?

Weekly News Letter
From State College
J. c. TAYLOR,
GOOD GRAIN CROP.
J. c. TAYLOR,

A grain crop which will require the
services Of 5000 extra men during the
harvest season is in prospect for Mon
tana this year if present excellent
growing conditions continue, accord
ing to J. c. Taylor, assistant director
Of the Montana Extension service.
Mr.. Taylor has recently visited the
more important grain producing cen
ters Of the state and finds fine pros
poets wherever he has been. On the
basis Of today's conditions the aver
age yield for the state is likely to
pass the high mark Of 1924.
In east central Montana, where a
rather prolonged dry spell early in
the season had occasioned some alarm,
recent rains have given 'he crops
their needed moisture. In other Sec
tions where rainfall has been limited
for number of years, grasses and
crops are growing luxuriantly.
Western Montana, which suffered
from Lack Of rain last year, has an
abundance this spring and crops show
the highest promise.
Because of the poor corn growing
weather last year and the resultant
shortage Of good seed this spring il
was thought that a considerable re-
ductiOn in corn acreage would result
However, Mr.. Taylor reports fully as
much corn this year as last and the
recent warm weather had raised the
condition Of the crop in many sections
from poor to very good.
It is expected that the cooperative
arrangement between the Montana
Extension service and the United
States Employment service for handl.
ing the labor situation will be re.
sumed this year. This service was
started three years ago and worc
from George Tucker, IL charge of tn,
federal service for this district is tt
the effect that labor offices will b.
opened again this summer. Las

CULLING POULTRY
TOBOOST EGG
PRODUCTION

We are now in the middle Of the
season for culling non-productivc
hens from the egg producers. During
June, July and August culling can be
accomplished more accurately than at
any other time of the season. The
high producers are still laying and
low producers have ceased.
Characteristics that quite accurate
ly determine the hens production
ability for the past as well as the
present are: The vent, which should
be wide, moist and well dilated. The
larger the vent the higher the egg
production as a rule. Hens with
pinched, small, dry vents should be
culled. Comb and wattles, are to be
bright red, soft and velvety to the
touch. The eye should be full, bright
and prominent. The pelvic bones of
a good layer are wide, thin and pli-
able, and poor layer is just the op-
posite. The abdomen is a very i'm
portant characteristic to consider, for
if it is wide and full with a. soft, pli-
able skin, it denotes great capacity
for egg production. The active cack-
ling hen whose feathers seem worn
and ragged is heavy layer while
the bird with the fine, glossy coat of
feathers spends too much time pick
ing them instead of looking for egg
producing feed.
Look for the quick developer who
moults from September to December
as it is the one who is the layer. The
one who moults during the summer
should be culled if moulting is not
brought about by methods Of feeding,
The problem Of the poultry keeper
is to distinguish the producer from

to change gradually from the cracked
