The members OF the organization
present were very strong to retain the
cooperative, as they firmly believe
that it is a step in the right direction
in the marketing of Maine eggs. This
sentiment was brought out in a
stronger way than has been exhibited
at any previous meeting of the or
ganization. Active efforts are to be
made to have larger volumes of eggs
marketed through the Association
and some progressive steps are TO be
taken to improve marketing facilities,
The executive board will hold a
meeting on the Goth of October to
take these matters up more in detail

FALL PLANTED GARDEN

Ii you want early radishes, peas
turnips, and spinach in your spring
garden, try planting the seeds of
these vegetables this fall
The garden should be prepared in
the fan for early spring planting
anyhow. AS soon as you have fin
ished the preparation. so far as
blowing is concerned, work down a
small strip along one side of the gar
den, and along about the last of Oc-
tober or even the middle of Noveh-
Der, at any rate after the ground has
become too cold for seed to sprout,
plant a part OF a row of lettuce.
some radishes and a few peas and
turnips, a little spinach and if YOU
wish, some of the other hardy spring
vegetables. Ten days or two weeks
time may be saved in getting the
vegetables on the table next spring
if YOU follow this idea The whole
secret Is waiting for planting until
the ground is too cold for the seeds
to sprout.
The hardy annual flowers can be
planted in the same way and will
bloom earlier in the spring if plant
ed this fan. Such flowers as meri-
gold, larkspur, poppies, bachelor but
tons, etc, can be treated this way
and give the best bloom a little
ahead of any you have ever had be-
fore.

Poultry Breeding
Practical Method

Orono, Oct. 15-'"The most practic-
edge of poultry breeding" is the way
Doctor John w. Gowen formerly
biologist at the Maine Experiment
Station commented upon the poul-
try breeding plan being advocated
by the Extension Service. In order
to increase the egg production in
poultry Or to even hold the high egg
production which is now obtained in
many tlocks it is necessary to breed
from the very highest quality in
dlviduals which possess the qualities
which are desired in the offspring.
Poultrymen whose birds have
made high scores in egg laying con-
tests have followed definite con-
structive breeding plan and have
employed the use of pedigreed
males in their matings. 1t is not
practical for the average poultryman
TO trap nest and pedigree his birds
SO that any plan which would be
possible for the average poultryman
must be based upon selection.
fortunately it is possible to tell
with fair degree of accuracy after
hens have gone through a laying
year which of the individuals in the
HOOK are superior as egg producers,
are vigorous, of good size and other
wise desirable birds. The selection
OF the pulletS cannot be made with
as great a degree of accuracy as can
the old hens.
The breeding plan recommended
by the Extension Service involves
the use of both hens and pullets and
requires one pedigreed male each
year. The plan consists simply of
selecting ten or twelve one year old
hens of the very finest individuals in
the flock with respect to production,
vitality. of good size. and otherwise
desirable representatives of the
breed and variety. These are mat
ed with a pedigreed male. The OBJ
Ject of this pen is to produce breed
ing cockerels for che following sea-
son. Although hens can be fairly
accurately selected for their ability
to produce eggs it is more difficult
10 select Cockerels with respect to
the production ability of their par
ents. Therefore, the reason for us
ing a pedigreed male with this es
pecIally selected pen of old hens.
The cockerels produced from this
mating would have both parents of
high laying ability.
10 secure the main flock of chicks
pullets would be used as breeders
and these should be carefully select
ed during December or January or
prior TO the time when the eggs are
saved for Matching. These selected
puilets would be mated with the
cockerels from the pen of selected
old hens and pedigreed male.
such system can be followed by
anyone who is Matching his own
chickens because it is simply. prac-
tlcal and does not involve trapnest-
ing or the carrying over OF a large
number of the old birds. Neither
does 1t involve close inbreeding. The
plan Is described in detail in extern
sion circular No. 80. together with
suggestions on how to select poultry

Dun's Report

New York, oct 15.-LP}-Dun to-
morrow will say:
Surface irregularities in business
have become rather more prominent.
but underlying conditions remain
sound. Nagaries OF the weather have
initiated against the best results in
retail distribution, while recent storms
and floods tended to curtaiI CONNER
cial activities in some western areas.
The latter cause has accounted for
reduced operations in some lines. Fur
ther large purchasing of railroad
equipment is. however, compensat-
ing factor, and the rate of steel out
put this month has not changed es-
sentially from the satisfactory Sep
TENDER average. Building construc-
ton, if not up to some previous not
able records continues Of large vol
ume and rising production in some
other industries including footwear
and certain departments of textiles,
keeps general employment of work
ers at n very high point.
The late sharp fail in the price Of
cotton has apparently somewhat im-
paired prospects in the south, bur
concern over the possible effects of
that development has lesseued as mar
kets have recovered from their lowest
levels
