Increase Capacity by
Variation of Labor

The working capacity of persons en-
gagged in dexterous physical work may
be greatly increased by varying their
work from day to day, says DR.. ]. p.
hamburger Of Leland Stanford uni
versity as the result of a recent study
of the problem of human efficiency.
In work where there is a slight
change in the task from time to time 1t
was discovered that the actual work
ing capacity was about TT per cent
below the maximum capacity, while in
other tasks which were continuous and
uniform there was from 36.S to 39.4 per
cent loss from the maximum working
capacity.
The findings indicate to Doctor
Baumberger that men working at al
ternating occupations have an output
more closely approaching their max
imum work capacity than do men in
processes studied in which the same
occupation was continued throughout
the day"
"Many industries could easily apply
this finding" Doctor Baumberger says.
workers could be trained to operate
two machines and exchange places at
regular intervals Of time. feel con-
WINGED that this plan would lead to in
crease of output and decrease in ia
tigue on the part of the men"

UNIVERSITY PULLET
MAKING FINE RECORD

The single comb Rhode Island Red
entry of the University of Idaho
poultry department, is making an
excellent record in the seventh west
ern Washington egg-laying contest.
The university pen is tied for nine
teenth place among the 121 entries
and is tied for seventh among the
heavy breed entries.
Pullett 1856, the high bird of the
entry, has laid 1872 eggs in the five
months and is tied for ninth high
Individual among the 726 birds en-
tered. During March this pulIet
laid 80 eggs in 81 days. She was the
only bird of the heavier varieties
among the IL high individuals for
March-she was the second highest
producer.

bred to combine standard shape and
color as well as production. They
have not been trapnested. Selection

Youthful Prodigy Has
Temperament of Genius

Mini Rota Rinaldi of Milan is
twelve years old. He is sort Of
three-in-one prodigy-muslcian COM
poser and conductor.
When eleven, Mini composed an ora
torio-"The Childhood of Saint John
the Baptist"-which has been pro
nounced by those who know a very
excellent thing. Be that as 1t may,
the youthful composer came something
of a cropper recently at Tourcoing,
France, when he attempted to lead
an orchestra of $50 musicians In the
rendition of his composition. The
musicians, at least some Of them, did
not measure up to MINIS conception
of what a musician should be- Per
haps the musicians themselves did not
take kindly to the idea that "a little
child shall lead them" In any event
a false note or two from some care
less member of the 250 brought Minis
artistic temperament into play.
He criticised and protested, stormed
and perhaps cursed. No one knew just
what anathemas he was calling down
upon the erring orchestra. He quit in
a fury after less than five minutes and
could not be persuaded to try again.
He did finally come before the audi
ence and complain that the orchestra
lacked soul

GREATER DEMAND
FOR IDAHO SEED

Demand for Idaho grown seed
should be even better in the future
than it has been in the past, but in
order to maintain or to increase the
demand and the margin now paid,
/ present seed standards must be main
tanned or improved. This can be ac-
eomplished only through the efforts
of the growers themselves.
The paragraph is quoted from a
new University of Idaho Experiment
Station bulletin on alfalfa Seed
Production in Southern Idaho" The
bulletin, which has just come off
the press and is now available, was
prepared by A. E. McClymonds, SUI
perintendent of the Aberdeen sub
station.
Consumption of alfalfa seed in
the United States" says the author,
"has increased considerably in the
last few years. The alfalfa hay acre
age is increasing at the rate of from
one to five million acres a year. The
demand for seed to provide for the
increased acreage and the mainten-
ance of the area already devoted to
alfalfa production will provide a
steady market for seed in the future.
During the last few years the de-
mand for hardy strains of alfalfa has
been increasing. Only hardy strains
Withstand satisfactorily the severe
winter weather of the northern
states. Southern Idaho is particu-
larly adapted to the production of
hardy strains of alfalfa seed. The
severe winters characteristic of the
section maintain the hardness of
the strains and the summer weather
is conducive to the production of
high yields. For this reason it is
that in the seed pro
lueing sections every farm each year
should have some acreage devoted to
he production of alfalfa seed.
The conclusions and the informa-
ion given in the publication are
,ased on experiments in alfalfa seed
PRODUCTION on the Aberdeen substa-
ion an don observations made
throughout surrounding sections.

THE RANGE HOUSE
SHOULD BE HOME


Once pullets are on range, 1t is no
advisable to change them from one
house to another, as moving usually
cuts down their appetites and slows
down their development, says Prof
r. T. Parkhurst, University of Idaho
poultry husbandman.
"A bright, sunny morning" con
tinues Professor Parkhurst, sis de-
sirable for moving chicks to range
houses. And they will return to their
houses better if they are confined.
fed. and watered in their new sur
roundings for day or two.
Before chicks are moved to the
developing range houses, they should
be without heat in the brooder house
for ten days or two weeks. As gem
eral rule, chicks that are eight to
10 weeks old, do not require arti-
fetal heat. About this time the
sexes should be separated and all
pullets and cockerels that show poor
health, lack OF yigor, slow maturity,
and any standard disqualifications
should be disposed Of 1t is poor
policy to take up range with young
pullets or .cockerels that show little
promise of making profitable pro-
ducers or breeders.
Outside weather conditions, and
the breed and size of chicks will de-
termine to a great extent the time
of weaving and the rate at which
heat in the brooder should be re-
duced. About the fourth week of
brooding, the chicks require a tenn
perature of about IS degrees under
the hover. II the weather is damp
and cold at this time, no reduction
Is advisable. If the weather is warm.
however, the hover may be raised six
inches or foot during the middle
Of the day, and the temperature at
night may be lowered about five
degrees a week. Too often, oper-
ators pay no attention to the low
ering of the hover temperature with
the result that chicks are forced
rom the hover, and crowd in the
corners. More care must be take in
weaving the more active breeds such
IS the leghorns, as they crowd bad

las been discontinued, the hover

Fur Farms in Canada

Fur farming has shown a great In
crease In Canada during the last ten
years that furs have been popular
summer and winter. There are 1000
farms devoted to breeding and rails
ing fur-bearing animals, and Of these
900 are devoted to foxes, seventeen
to racoon, thirteen to mink and one
to marten. The 21,433 silver foxes
taken in the 1923 census Of these
farms are valued at S5,372, 262. AS
Canada became settled the wild
animals retreated farther into the
north and the farms sprang up with
the demand from fur manufacturers.

with an advance in cash premiums

ness today to the wheat market here.
Closing quotations on wheat were ir-
regular at &c net decline to &c gain,
with corn Z to lac down, oats un-
changed to 3@sc off and provisions
varying from sc setback to an equal
advance. ....
1t was estimated that exporters
bought as much as 100000 bushels of
North American wheat today for ship
ment to Europe and that the bulk Of
the wheat purchased was United
States red winter. Furthermore,
southwest advices said leading export
houses were scrambling for wheat in
the country. Meanwhile, the cash
wheat trading basis here was lac a
bushei for choice grades which were
| in keen demand by domestic mills. Per-
sistent complaints of excessive rains
northwest impairing the quality of
spring wheat and causing delay to har-
vest operations had more or less
marked effect.
An outstanding feature was an esti-
mate that the French wheat crop this
season will amount to only 220, 600. 900
bushels, against .29,000.000 bushels
last year.
Provisions responded to upturns in
the hog market but then reacted ow-
ing to increased offers to sell.
