| 255 eggs; B163, 231 eggs.
The average yearly egg production
of No. 500 and her nine sisters, 281.1
eggs, has seldom been equaled.
Lady Excelsior, hen No. $685. estab.
lished her high egg record without
having received any water to drink
or scratch grain to eat during the 1855
days of production.
| The all-mash rat1ol she received
was radically different in both ingredi-
ents and the method used in feeding
from the rations usually fed to laying
hens.
The ration consisted of SO pounds
of ground whole wheat, rs pounds of
ground whole oats and rs pounds of
ground whole barley. This was
placed in a w. S. G. waste-proof dry
mash hopper and kept before her at
all times. No scratch grain was fed
during the season. She received all
the sour skim milk she could drink
but no drinking water was supplied
during the year. Grit, shell and char
coal were hopper fed
Green food was supplied from No
vember to April first by the feeding of
alfalfa leaves and blossoms at noon
time; feeding at the rate of about
pounds to the 100 hens. From April
| first through October, green cut alfalfa
was fed in the same amounts as the
dry Lights were used from Novem.
Der to April on twelve-hour schedule.
No wet mash was fed during this
period.
The small amount Of labor required
in feeding this ration and the ex-
tremely high production, No. 866 lay
ing 344 eggs and No. 855, 1928 eggs,
with pen average of 1858 eggs make
this record of the greatest interest.
1t is safe to say that never before has
such high egg production been Sc
cured from such simple, labor-saving
rations.

weigh 81 pounds and are very similar
in conformation and appearance, with
one exception: Lady Excelsior carries
her tail high while No. 172 carries her
tail at an angle of 40 degrees from the
horizontal. 1t would appear from the
comparison of the tail carriage of
these two sisters that there was no
correlation between high tail carriage
and high egg production. The father
Of No. 866 was male No. 90, whose
mother, hen No. 273, laid $40 eggs at

THE YEAR 1926 IN AGRICULTURE
Report by Secretary Agriculture VIM M Jardin

and the prices of industrial goods and
services. These facts must not be
forgotten. On the other hand, they
should not blind us to the real gain
that has been made. If the cotton
belt is the black spot in the agricul
tural picture for the time being, II
does not darken the whole of the pic,
ture by any means.
| It will be convenient to glance
briefly at the present situation in re-
gard to the leading crops against the
background of the depression period
from which we are emerging. Winter
| wheat growers have harvested and
marketed early an excellent crop OF
high quality. Wheat is not selling
at as high a price this year as it was
at this time last year. In parts of
the spring-wheat states, where yields
were reduced by drought, there is dis.
tress. Spring wheat was practically
a failure in much of South Dakota
and central North Dakota. Indeed, all
crops suffered there. "A great deal of
the area seeded was not harvested
Business conditions have naturally
been affected adversely. In northern
and eastern North Dakota, however,
the situation is much better. The
Mountain states, particularly Mon.
tana, have made good progress this
year in recovery from the effects of
the depression. 1t may be said, in
deed, that over the greater part of
the wheat states conditions have been
good for three years. In 1924 our
wheat farmers produced 863,000,000
bushels, and for what they sold they
received an average price of $1.28 a
bushel. In 1925, with crop of only
$50, 100000 bushels, the average price
received for wheat sold by farmers
was $1.46 bushel. This year high
yields in many states will compen-
safe most farmers for the drop in the
price.
In the corn belt conditions are now
somewhat more favorable than they
have been for several years. There is
a tendency toward a better balance
between corn production and hog pro-
duction, and therefore between corn
prices and hog prices. Although
there is no undue surplus of corn, as
there was last year, there is enough
of it on hand to fatten a probably
increased number of pigs. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that the
supply of corn is still very large and
that hog-cholera scare is reducing
the number of hogs. Similar opti-
mism is warranted in regard to the
livestock industry generally. There
was lack of balance in that branch
of agriculture in 1925. Corn, oats,
and hay, were heavy crops, while the
number of animals to be fed, espe-

FURTHER moderate Improvement in
L the agricultural situation as a
whole has taken place during the last
year. Certain regions have suffered re.
verses, notably the cotton states
whose principal crop, produced in ex.
ceptional abundance, is selling at very
low prices. Parts of the spring-wheat
states have harvested a poor crop
Generally speaking, however, the
position of agriculture is better now
than it has been in any year since
1920. Livestock raisers, dairymen,
and winter-wheat growers have
earned good returns, and underlying
conditions in the corn belt have i'm
proved. The year, in short, has been
similar to the last few years in that
it has seen marked but not uniform
improvement in agricultural condi-
lions.
Since the depression period of 1920
q every agricultural section of the
country and every important branch
of agriculture have made progress.
Recovery has not been uninterrupted;
nor, as have indicated, have all
groups of producers shared in it
equally Nevertheless, the gain has
been substantial. For the crop year
1925-26 the net income of the agricul-
tural industry as unit is estimated
at about $2,757, 100000 or A per cent
more than for the crop year 1924-25.
In the same period the net return
on the value of the capital, invested
in agriculture was about AS per cent,
compared with 81 per cent in the
crop year 1929 and only O.6 per
cent in the crop year 1920-21.
Unfortunately, the recent slump in
cotton prices makes it doubtful
whether the crop year 1926-27 will
carry forward the story of improve
ment at the rate established in the
last few years. An average price of
idOOuI 10 CculS d pOuuu lOI CuC OSLk-
mated cotton crop would be necessary
to yield the cotton states an income
equal to that of last year. Recently
the farm price of cotton has been
around 10 cents a pound. While
there are prospects that this ex-
tremely low price will be only tenn
porary, it does not seem probable at
this writing that returns to the cot
ton growers will be satisfactory. 1t
is also true that over much of the
country farmers are still struggling
with burden of debt and reduced
buying power.
Even a good year, therefore, would
have to be spoken of in terms of i'm
provement rather than of full pros
perity. The situation continues to
present problems of heavy produc-
ton and some lingering disparity be-
tween the prices of farm products
