Market Man Must Base His
Operations on Limited
knowledge.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Need for more complete poultry sta
tistics with which to enable produc-
ers and the trade more efficiently to
meet consumption demand was en-
phasized by, Rob r. SlOcum, poultry
marketing specialist of the bureau of
agricultural economics, United States
Department of Agriculture, address
ing the National Poultry, Butter and
Egg association at Louisville, Ky.
Under present conditions" Mr..
Slocum declared, "the market man
must base his operations on such linn
tied information as is now available
and on his own opportunities, often
decidedly limited, to form an opinion
as to probable production. The pro-
Queer, likewise, must adjust his pro-
ductiOn program on a decidedly in
adequate basis on which to Judge of
egg, crops which will be available dur
ing the ensuing season. The indus.
tIy needs a much clearer picture of
current conditions and of the probable
trends of the immediate and the more
remote future to enable it to regulate
production most intelligently and to
market the poultry and egg crops to
the best advantage"
Value of Product.
The poultry industry, according to
Mr.. Slocum, accountI1 last year for
16 per cent of the total value of live
stock and its products, but because
the industry is widespread and be-
cause of the relative invisibility of
the crop, accurate and complete poul-
try crop information is particularly
difficult to obtain. A Department of
Agriculture committee has been CIV
ing careful consideration to the prob
lem of developing more adequate
sasis statistics for this industry the
collection, tabulation and release of
which, the committee believes, may be
performed most logically by the state
and federal government.
Collection of Statistics.
A tentative program formulated by
this committee includes the collection
of statistics ON producing stocks on
hand, hatchings, young stock on
farms, and receipts at country con-
centratiOn points, a great deal of 9TH
er important data can be derived.
ITO undertake the collection of
these basic statistics" Mr.. Slocum
said, "it would be necessary for the
department to expand considerably
the reports which it now receives,
probably to reclassify Its list of vol
untary reporters and to extend their
number considerably, and very likely
to employ some paid observers. 1t
would alst be necessary to employ
competent statistician with adequate
assistants who could devote their en-
tire time to work for the poultry in
duStry. The whOlehearted support
and cooperation of the trade would
be required"

Agricultural Notes

Sugar beet tops have been used for
silage and are quite satisfactory.
Alfalfa and corn for silage are
among our most profitable crops.
Every man who grows legumes OPP
crates his own Muscle Shoals nitrogen
factory.
The fertilizer value OF. the manure
that is lost in feed lots that are not
paved is no small item and should not
be overlooked.
If vines. cornstalks and other truck
aren't gathered up and burned they'll
shelter insects through the winter
that'll make you grief next season.
All imported alfalfa seed, except
Canadian, should be avoided.
Keeping records will show the
dairy farmer how to make ten cows
10 the WORK or nfteen.
The greater the amount of milk
passing through the separator, the
thinner will be the cream.
~ Good purebred bulls are very cheap
in the long run, although the pur.
chase price may appear high.
A good pure-bred sire is an effec.
tive means of improving dairy herd
In both type and production.
Pumpkins and squashes should be
allowed to ripen and harden but no:
freeze. Well matured specimens should
then be stored on racks or shelves In
dry, warm room.
Paving of feed lots is an investment
that pays good dividends. If com
plete program of paving the entire LOT
cannot be carried out, there are Ger.
tain places that should be BY all
means paved

Two Coats of Paint Are
Usually a Sufficiency

A little paint is good, but more is
better. A single coat of paint serves
it's purpose as preservative for
while but it does not have the STAN
ina weathering action so very long.
If it be reinforced with a Sec
ond coat, it will have much greater
efficiency. 1t is estimated that a
two-coat job of painting will last we'll
and give as good results as three sep
arate single coats put on at different
times. In other words, single coat
painting costs so per cent more to get
the same efficiency.
Two coats are usually sufficient to
cover surface well if the paint is
properly mixed and properly brushed
out. Three coats are usually not nee
essary unless the surface is in eX-
ceedingly bad condition. If the paint
is applied too thick it is likely to
peel and blister and thus be impaired
in value.

Personality

No term is so carelessly used as per-
sonality. One is accustomed to speak
of this man or woman possessing a
pleasing personality or disagreeable
personality, as If no individual pos
sessed more than one. Occasionally,
it is true, unusual individuals are de-
scribed as having dual personalities.
What is unusual in such cases is not
the number of the personalities, but
the fact that they are so divergent, as
in the case Of Doctor Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde.-Baltimore Sun.

Why do SO many, many babies Of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to,
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through.
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose Of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign of collie; or constipation; or
diarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, a few
drops Of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is:
worth its weight in gold!

INCREASING DEMAND IS BEING
MADE FOR SOY BEAN PRODUCTS

producing on the average about half
a ton to the acre.
That the Department of Agriculture
is doing its share in promoting soy
bean culture is reflected in the fact
that one of it's agricultural explorers
in China obtained approximately 1000
intrOductions of seed. which are being
tried out by the government with
promising results.

The Souls Decay

A dying body is a calamity, but
shall we therefore look with calmness
upon a dying soul? His soul is dead
who is without self-respect. The
man who yields to the brute force of
the majority, to the vicious power Of
ridicule, to the subtle strength Of
inertia, and turns his back to the an
cient traditions of his group, that
mans self-respect is deserving him;
his soul is dying.-Dr. Norman Salt.

Sampling Difficult

Do not attempt TO separate cream
testing over 40 per cent fat as in
most cases there will be an increased
loss of fat in the skim milk. Cream
testing over 40 per cent fat Is usu-
ally so viscous that proper sampling

Immense Gas Fields

The bureau of mines says that at
the present time the largest gas field
in the world is located at Monroe. Ga.
The past largest fields have been at
Cincinnati, Ohio, and in the South. A
possible alternate to the Monroe field
is the Amarillo field, Texas.

PLEA FOR TREATMENT
John Mcmahon Unable to Get Re-

John j. Mcmahon. 33 years old, a

sistant auditor at the General Account

lowing what his superior, Capt.

treated at the regional Office of the
Veterans Bureau Wednesday after

At the Veterans Bureau no com
plete report had been drawn on the
case, but it was said by officials that
McMahon was intoxicated when he ap-
piled for an examination and could
not have been admitted to d hospital
in such condition.
Capt. Brockway said he realized
there was something serious the mat.
ter with the veteran who had sat
for a long time in the regional Office
awaiting attention. One doctor looked
at McMahon's tongue, and felt of his
pulse, Capt. Brockway said, but did
not give him a regular examination
of any kind, and no suggestions for
any kind Of treatment.
There he was practically dying on
his feet" said Capt. Brockway today,
"and the Veterans Bureau wouldn't
do anything for him."

CURTIS IS URGED
BY KANSAS G. 0. P.
Republicans of State Called to Back
Senator for Nomination
for President.


TOPEKA, kans., August 26.--
kansas Republicans would be dere.
lict to duty il they did not go to
the national convention in 1928 with
a delegation that would work and
fight to the last for Senator Charles
Curtis for President" said a public
statement issued here today by Seth
G. Wells, chairman of the Repub-
lican State central committee. The
delegation. Wells said, SHOULD be Sc
iected regardless of factions of the
Republican party"
There should not be, there cannot
be. the thought of faction in making
Charles Curtis the Kansas Republican
candidate for President" he added.
Recalling that Senator Curtis re.
Gently requested his friends to with
hold discussion of his name in con-
nection with the nominal ton for Pres.
ident, Mr.. Wells remarked:
"Those who know Senator Curtis
in Kansas and in the Nation expect.
ed from him this high, dignified
straightforward statement. But
this is a matter that is up to the
United Republican party Of Kansas,
and not to Senator Curtis"
