LIGHT FOR HENS
is RATED HIGH
After Ten-Year Study OF Subject,
Cornell University Endorses
Idea With Enthusiasm
POSSIBLE VALUE is GREAT

Prot James E. Rice, head OF the
poultry department at Cornell Univer-
sity, sums up the result of ten year
investigation OF artificial illumination
in hen houses in these words:
81 would no more think of undertak.
ing to handle poultry in this latitude
without artificial light than l would
undertake to keep house without this
modern convenience"
Basing his views on many expert.
ments and thorough practical analy.
sis Of the subject, Prof. Rice added
that he did not sympathize with the
view that artificial illumination injur-
ed the birds by producing an unnat.
ural condition. 1--WE are firmly con.
vinced," he said, that an exceedingly
important factor in overcoming the
unnatural conditions to which fowls
are subjected during our short late fall
and winter days is the practice OF
lengthening the days by artificial light.
Proper Use Essential
This has proved remarkably effec.
tive in causing an increase in egg pro-
duction during fall and winter-which
is the best possible reason why this
potent ally Of the winter egg pSAlucer
should be used with caution an in ac-
cordance with the physical Cd ion
OF the fowls"
Careful inquiry into met on
farms where artificial illuminaS has
not proved satisfactory has convinced
Cornell University poultry authorities
that in these cases the lights have not
been properly used. 1t is declared
that the most important single factor
in the matter is that of holding the
rate OF production within the hens
natural laying capacity.
Reasons for Failures
Prof. Rice says that experience
proves conclusively how easy it Is to
hold the percentage of egg production
within certain limits for an indefinite
period by the proper use OF lights,
which increase or decrease the hens
working day. But some poultrymen,
finding 1t possible to boost their egs
yield from so to 70 per cent, give their
Washington telegraph., 1925-05-01

hens a sixteen or eighteen hour work
ing day, and thereby invariably put
the birds out of condition. This prac-
tice, Prof. Rice declares, is the prin-
cipal reason for dissatisfaction with
the use of lights to increase egg pro-
duction.
The type OF lighting unit which his
experiments found the most effective
Is a standard 40-watt Mazda lamp with
a cone-shaped reflector sixteen inches
in diameter at the base by four inches
high and hung six feet from the floor.
This gives light for the perchss as
well as the floor, and so prevents any
of the hens from remaining Oh the
roost when IT is desired to have them
scratching for feed.

IS PRoLoNGING1 IRE
Women on Farm Of the Future
May Find Electricity Adding
to Their Years.

Several men who are leaders n the
farm electrifcation movement haW
expressed their belief that the f,rm&
appreciates fully the humaniariaI
aspect OF electric power on the farm,
over and above its value to him IN dol
lars and cents.
DR.. i. A. Stewart, OF the University
of Minnesota, declares that farmers
will have electricity in order to make
life convenient and happy, irrsspec-
tive OF whether or not they are always
able to make their electrical installa-
tion show a dollars and cents proht.
simultaneously, NJ. II. Aylesvorth,
executive manager OF the National
Electric Light Association, assets his
conviction that electricity VIII add
from fifteen to twenty years 10 the
lives Of farm women and will IN many
cases change misery into happiness.
Water in the home, pumped by
electricity, the electric iron, the elec-
trio washing machine, the vacuum
cleaner, electric range, refrigerator,
percolator--all these things are un.
known tosfarmers' wives and daugh.
ters. Electricity will bring them. And
they will be happiness-makers al
though not a bit more important than
the advantage OF electric lights"
Washington telegraph., 1925-05-01

About 100000 of this loss was offset
by the movement of urban popula-
tion to the farm.
Farmers Value to Nation
To some this movement away from
the farm is an alarming symptom.
Yet as a nation we are not so much
concerned with the specific number
Of people living on farms as we are
with the volume of food production,
and government figures show that this
is being maintained.
In no small degree our commercial
development Of the past seventy-five
years has been made possible by in
creased efficiency in food production
on the part of the farmer. Power and
power uses are well established on
the farm Today the American farm
er uses power, lots Of it, and he will
undoubtedly use an increasing amount
in the future. Rural progress depends
in no small measure upon this.
Power Now "the" Thing
In view OF what the use Of power on
the farm has already accomplished, II
is no wonder that the farmer is look.
ing over the fence into the electrical
field. He wants to know what agri'
cultural possibilities are to be unlock
ed by this mysterious power which
flows noiselessly over the wires.
No one can doubt that the general
Introduction OF electric service on the
farm will improve living conditions
making available to rural districts
practically every convenience now en-
ioyed by urban dwellers. Electric
service has literally reyolutionized
living conditions in the cities, and ag
riculture is determined to keep step
with this development.
Vision, Courage, Study Are Needed
To secure maximum results with
minimum costs, in working out appli
cations Of electricity to agriculture
vision. courage and determination tC
succeed are essential. The power
problems Of the farm must be investi
gated by the best talent available, and
the application OF electricity TO this
field must be developed along sound
economic and engineering lines.
Electricity has already done sc
much for our urban population that
maximum rural development without
electric service Is unthipkable. We
will never be on a secure foundation
until the farm is on as attractive a
basis as the city, from the viewpoint
Of living conditions and business op
snrtunity.

the Electric Churn
And back of this lies the hope that it
may be a real factor in reducing pro-
duction costs.
Farm life has been changing in
many respects during the past twenty
five years. Rural isolation is gone for
ever. Daily mail delivery, the tele-
phone, the radio, the automobile and
good roads have made it possible for
the man on the farm to establish eff
fective contact with the rest of the
world.
This contact has been so well es-
tablished, in fact, that, largely for
economic reasons, approximately two
million persons left the farms in 1922.

Bill Burwell puzzled the Saints
in the series opener Friday and
indianapolis won, to 2. The locals
were off form in the field and COM
mitted seven errors that proved very
discouraging to Pitcher Cliff Markle,
who did a fairly good job Of hurl-
ing against the visitors.
Burwell was not scored against
until the ninth inning, when a single,
triple and inf1eld out combined to
give the Saints two markers.
Manager Bush. who wore mis-
civilian clothes and directed the
Indians from the bench, made a
change in his batting order. He
placed Voter second and DIR opped
Sticking to fifth, and Voter re-
sponded to the elevation by getting
three of the Tribes eight hits.
Wild Matthews started in center
field and got double before being
forced out of action by an injured
leg. Florence was behind the bat
and he handled Burwelrs offerings
well enough. Sticking played great
defensive ball for the Tribe sec
ond >placers and pulled Burwen out
of a dangerous spot once by a
thrilling stop and throw. He &C.
cepted nine chances.

There has been a wild scramble
for the pennant in the Southern
circuit and number Of teams have
been at dagger points on various
occasions.
Shoulder Injured
Eichrodt was drafted by Cleveland
from Spartanburg South Atlantic
League) last year and farmed to
Nashville this season. The player
worked out with the Indianapolis
team last spring before reporting to
Cleveland.
iris Speakers team recalled
Eichrodt, from Nashville more than
a week ago and sent him to Roches-
ter, N. Y, to have an injured
shoulder treated by a specialist.
Kenesaw M. Lands, high commits
sioner of baseball took a hand in
the Dixie baseball turmoil and he
requested Eichrodt to appear before
him in Chicago today.
CleveIand's Explanation
The Cleveland Club insists the
player is a valuable prospect for the
majors and that it's only reason for
recalling him from Nashville was
for the purpose of putting him under
the care of a specialist. Eichrodt
was troubled with a weak shoulder
last spring and was worried about
his throwing arm.
Eichrodt batted hard for Nashville
and it is said Cleveland scouts adj
vised their bosses to recall him and
place him under the same specialist
iris Speaker engages for his big
league performers.
