Laying Hens Now
on a Night Shift
W III y =. ? ItF
Artificial Lights Deceive
Pullets Into Increased
Egg Production.

The hens that lay New York's
breakfast eggs are about to go on the
night shift again.
The recently introduced practice of
Increasing egg production by length
ening the short autumn and winter
days. with artificial light in the hen
houses has proved so successful that
it is expected to become almost uni
versal this year among the thousands
Of suburban poultrymen in New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and on Long island.
Hens Respond ProfitabIy.
Proof that the hens respond profit
ably to the system of lengthening the
winter. days by electricity has been
produced by Leslie NJ. Black, poultry
expert of the New Jersey Agricultural
college, who publishes the results of
tests in the Farm Journal.
Black has tested 1855 f1ocks of pull
tets over six-month period. OF these,
As fiocks were tested without the aid
of lighting and were found to average
1919 eggs per hen. The others, tested
under three different lighting systems,
all ran probably ahead of that figure.
Three Lighting Plans Used.
The three methods used to convince
the hens that winter days are as long
as summer ones, and so keep produc-
ton artificially stimulated when prices
are high, are these:
First-The evening lunch system,
when the houses are lighted for an
hour at night, between eight and nine,
or nine and ten. Second-The morn
ing lights plan, when the houses are
. lighted before dawn. Third-The use
of. lights both morning and night so
that the length of the day is made to
equal absolutely that of the night.
f"This last system seems to give the
best results of the three" the Farm
Journals expert reports. It produced
1917 more eggs per pullet than when
no lights were used, 6.5 more eggs
than under the evening lunch plan,
and 1.3 more than the morning light
ing system.

Barley Produces a High
Percentage of Nutrients

Barley should be more widely used
as a stock feed, not only on account Of
its high yield per acre but also be-
cause of it's nutritive value, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The only feed crop that can be
compared readily with barley in farm
economy is oats. Barley produces
more pounds to the acre than oats
and has a higher percentage Of digest
ible nutrients. Success in feeding bar
ley depends somewhat upon how it is
fed. Barley fed whole is too coarse
for best results, and If fed too finely
ground is pasty and unpalatable. The
best way of preparing it for live stock
is to have it coarse ground or rolled,
the latter way of preparation being
common in the West.

Ewes Need Extra Good
Care at Landing Time

The success of the sheep flock de-
ponds largely on the management.
Good feed and care materially infiu-
ence the subsequent lamb crop. Preg-
nant ewes should be separated from
the main flock and carried along in
good thrifty condition until lambing
time. They may be fed such succulent
feeds as roots and ensilage, the latter
in limited quantity, together with some
alfalfa hay, for the purpose of stimu
lating milk production. Good water
is essential during the pregnant period.
Potassium iodide should be given in
the drinking water twice month or
in the salt kept before the ewes at all
times. Ewes in good, thrifty condi,
ton are more likely to give birth to
strong vigorous lambs.

Agricultural Notes

Fences and gates tell what kind of
folks live with them.
It doesn't cost any more to build a
good looking building than the other
kind.
If good results are to be expected
with the 1928 lamb crop, the bred
ewes must be handled properly.
Sweet clover should be sown broad
cast on a well-settled seeded at the
rate of Is pounds of good seed per
acre.
Good, clean range will be of little
value in preventing disease trouble
as long as the ground adjoining the
house is dirty.
Wherever cholera occurs 1t must be
presumed that the disease has been
carried to the hogs in question be-
cause there is no other way for it to
reach the herd.
Four or five weeks before lambing
each eve should have One-half pound
daily by weight of the following grain
mixture: Corn, six parts; oats or
bran, three parts. and linseed oil meal,
one part. After Landing, the ration
should be doubled.
Corn belt farmers are confronted
with the problem of utilizing the
roughage produced on the farms as
well as the corn produced. There is
NO more economical and desirable
method of doing this than establishing
a herd of breeding cows on the farm.

May Extend Powers of /. c. G.

The hand Of federal regulation is planning to reach
cut for control Of motor bus and motor truck opera
ton in interstate commerce by applying the same rules
and principles enforced upon the railroads.
Federal regulations are expected to be the result
Of years Of careful investigation of motor transport
state Commerce Commission showing the present re-
lstionship Of railroads and motor vehicles. Bills are
which has resulted in a tentative report by the Inter-
now being drafted with that report as their basis and
and will be sponsored by the administration leaders in
congress. The proposed measure is expected to take
center Of the stage among the legislation bills.
The motor vehicle transportation system. viewed
In all its notifications by the examiners of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. was found to have grown
in proportion greater than railroads. 1t was estimat-
ed BY the Bureau Of Public Roads that the highway
transportation system and equipment, including the
vehicles and the roads. represents an investment Of
approximately see, 00,000,0 900. On the other hand the
book value estimate of roads and equipment Of the
steam roads, not including the switching and terminal
companies, was found by their reports to the commits
sion to be an aggregate Of s23,04s,1 les, s93.
The movement to extend federal regulation to the
buses in interstate traffic is stirring up great interest
among all transportation groups. Not only are the
Independent bus operators very greatly concerned but
also the railroads and electric railways which have
been operating buses for several years to supplement
their services. Some of the opponents of increasing
the regulatory power contend that the railroads were
permitted to develop for sixty years before they were
brought undr the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In contrast to that IL the view that the railroads and
public would be better off now IL regulation had start
ed earlier. Those holding this opinion do not believe
it would be an impeachment to motor vehicle growth TO
establish federal regulation now, even though this
form Of transportation 10 scarcely twenty years old.
The new legislation c~ontemplstes closer coopera-
tion between the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the various state commissions, with right Of appeal to
the national body. II Is held that congress is amply
able under the constitution to delegate to state agen-
cies the administration of federal statutes in inter
state commerce.
It is estimated that since the supreme court de-
cision on March Q. 1926, holding that state regulatory
bodies could not restrict such operations generally, the
number Of bus routes, especially in the East, have
trebled, and the number Of passengers carried has
shown an astonishing increase. Railroads are keenly
interested in the motor vehicle growth, and the exam

they had undoubtedly lost much business on account

IMMUNE TO SERVICE


Judge Royal R. Watkins of the Ninety-First Dist
riet Court believes that no citizen should fail in jury
duty except as exempted by statutory provision or by
reason of an excuse valid TO the Judge.
With Judge Watkins instructions to the District
Clerk there should be nc disagreement. The complaint
Of laxity in jury service is widespread, but to q GER
tain extent IL Is due TO the service-dodging citizen.
Yet the Judge himself is powerless to 90 beyond
due i~nsistence that his court should provide against
laxity on the part Of the citizen. With the same in
~structions issued in every District Court, with the
Judge accepting only statutory exemption and excuses
beyond cavil, there will still be no satisfactory jury
system until both prosecution and defense in criminal
cases and attorneys for plaintiff and defendant in civil
cases unite in the determination to prefer intelligence
on the jury to its exclusion.
In the meantime the ordinary citizen who has been
|dodsing jury service need not fear that he will have to
take his place in the box. He may lose a little time
waiting to be questioned on the venire. but he is as
safe from jury service as if his excuse had found favor
with the judge.

BY Mary Anderson
Director of women's Bureau Of the Department
of Labor
MARY Anderson was born in Lidkoping swed-
en- in 1872. She was educated in Sweden up to the
age Of is when she came to America. Here she
first worked in a garment making industry in Chi
cago later entering a shoe factory where she re-
manned IS years. Mary Anderson was elected as
representative Of women in the national boot and
shoe workers union and travelled throughout the
country as an organizer. She served as assistant
to chief of the women's bureau of the department
of labor in 1919. was appointed director of the bu-
reau in the same year, and reappointed in 1928 by
the late President Harding)
When we talk about standards Of employment for
workers in the United States we have to bear in mini
that We are talking about a continent with 4s separate
units, each one having full autonomy under the fed
eral constitution to govern itself in its own commune
ties through its own legislative body.
For this reason the function of any scientific fed
eral bureau can only be educational and informative.
There can be no question of compulsion, either through
Legislation or through other methods. We can set the
standard that we wish to see attained and can try 20
show the people of the country why we think TINT
standard is the one to be adopted. But we cannot
make them adopt it unless they want to. Progress
comes in one of three ways-through the will Of the
employer who realizes that contented employees are his
best investment, and who has many times led the way
to reform; through the trade unions, where the work
ers, associated together for their mutual benefit, en-
ter into collective agreements with their employers;
or through laws passed by the state legislatures to
meet local needs. The important thing for the feder-
al agency to do is to gather together all possible in
formation about what these different groups are do
ing. assemble and analyze it, and then publish the
findings for the states to draw upon. The federal bu-
reau acts. in other words, as a clearing house for the
accumulated experience of the entire country. 1t per-
forms in this way an invaluable service to all the
states, and to boht employers and employees.
In spite of what has seemed to be the tremendous
progress made by women in the industrial world in the
past few years, there is still much to be done If they
are to have an equal chance with their brothers. Their
wages are almost everywhere too low; their working
conditions in many places are far from good. and
their hours Of work often much too long. When we
still have states in which the medium wage Of wo-
lmen-and that means half earning more and half earn
ing less--is $3.50 . week, and when there are only 10
states that limit the hours of work even to so q week.
and five that have no limitation at all, you will realize
