(SpeciaD.-Shipment of poultry in
tended for the Christmas market

day, December 23. In shipping
dressed poultry, scalded stock. head
and feet on. Is preferred on this mar
ket, and shippers are advised to kill
only choice fat birds and see that all
the heat is out of the body before
shipping.
The demand for live turkeys has
been fairly good the past week and
prices have held steady, closing today
at SO a pound for young hens and
eobblers. and 34a35 for old toms, but
poor and crooked breasts are slow
sale at 25a30. Demand for live
chickens has eased off and the market
is shade lower, closing today at 27a

the weather turns cold, shipments of
live instead of dressed stock are ad-
visable.
More liberal shipments of native
and nearby eggs. as well as Southern

curtailment in the consumptive de.
mand due to high prices, brought
about a break in the market this
week. and values today show a de-
cline OF 8 a dozen compared with
closing prices last week. The mar
ket closed today at 46 a dozen for

In introducing review Of the finan-
Stal situation in Washington from July
I. 1907, TO date. promise was made to
include not only the banks of the
city, but also the Washington Stock
Exchange. and to make any correc-
tion that might be deemed necessary.
Hence this, the fourth chapter of
Ehe same story.
The Washington Stock Exchange
has had an interesting career in the
Interim between 1907 and now. At
times it seemed near disintegration,
with inconsequential records of trans
actions, and again 1t would seem to
recover, but never has 1t had as pros
porous a season as the last year has
been.
A comparison of prices will not
show as great change in many stocks
and bonds as might be expected, when
one considers that July /, 1907.
marked the height Of a panic or near
1y the worst part of it. while the
greatest prosperity in stocks and in
business generally. with the possible
exception Of 'he industrial activity in
cident to and after the war, is admit
tedly here now.
Stocks and Bords High.
Washington valued it's stocks and
bonds very highly back in 1907. 1t
will rather surprise some people to
know that Capital Traction was held
at 129 then, with 126 bid; that Rail
way common was 37lt to 80; Mergen-
thaler, 2"' to 206, and Washington
Gas, 81 hid ant SO asked.
Bank Share' We're also soaring, and
in some casey higher than they are
today. LInColr National was low then
at 80 bid AID 140 asked and has the
distinction % having scored the great
est gain OF any bank in the interven-
ing IS years and 6 months. or about
that period.

hay crop is to use it in raising meat.
dairy and poultry products"
Regarding New Englands apple
crop, Mr.. White said that while the
situation had been discouraging for
the small orchardist in recent years.
IL was not by any means hopeless,
ana that modern methods. together
with cooperation between growers
and distributors can be expected to
bring improvement. In marketing its
chickens and eggs, Mr.. White said,
New England Is now faced with
competition from low-cost farms in
the Middle West. Here again, he
said, the question Is largely one of
distribution, and problem Of getting
the New England egg into the home
market at reasonable cost. The
matter Of transportation also under
lies New England's milk marketing
problem, he said, and pointed to the
distributing effect Of the proposed
abandonment of railroad service in
certain sections of New England. In
conclusion, Mr.. White said:
There are New England crop and
agricultural industries that are re-
turning adequate labor rewards to
those engaged in them. The con-
t1nuance OF agricultural prosperity in
New England Is challenge to the
capabilities Of not only those en-
gagged in agriculture, but also to
those who are concerned with the
transportation and distribution Of it's
products. Great as is the challenge
to the farmer, transportation COM
pany and distributor each to i'm
prove his own bushes for his own
advantage, greater still is the chal-
lenge for the three to work together
for the upbuilding of their inter-
locking interests

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The people Of Fayette had a meet
ing at the home of Frank c. Wood at
Fayette yesterday afternoon to or
ganize an Adult Poultry club. This
is the third adult poultry club, the
others being at Winthrop and Mt.
Vernon. At this meeting the county
agent and o. M. Wilbur, Extension
poultry specialist, were present and
assisted in perfecting the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Wilbur also lectured on
Feeding Laying Hens"
The club will plan a three-year
program and will hold four meetings
a year. At each meeting either the
extension or county agent will be
present and give a lecture on some
kind of poultry topic, so that at the
end of the three year period, the
club will have received a short course
in poultry which will be similar to
that which they would receive If they
attended the short annual courses at
the University of Maine. 1t is a
case of the college coming to the peo-
pie rather than the people going to
the college.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at Startling Grange hall on
Thursday, December II, in connec-
ton with the annual Farm Bureau
meeting. The two requirements for
membership to the club are that each
member shall keep poultry account
and attend the club meetings when
possible. Fayette has the largest
number of people TO keep poultry
accounts. The book is furnished by
the Agricultural Extension Services.
