RECORDS OF POULTRY
FLOCKS DURING MAY

hens and Gull the pullets more care
fully.
The fact that pullets are superior
to hens with regard to the number
of eggs produced is shown by the
records during 1925-1926 when the
average production per pullet was
141 eggs, and the hens laid on the
average only 1874 eggs; and in
1926-1927, the pullets aid 1851 eggs
each as compared to 134.4 eggs per
hen. Another factor to be consider
ed is that larger number of pullets
than hens will be removed from the
flock during the year because OF
death. or culling, on account of poor
condition and production. During
the wear 1926-1927, according to the
records as compiled by Mr.. Palmer,
48.2G6 of the pullets were removed
while only 1850 of the hens were
taken out for the same reasons, lndl-
eating that of the egg production per
nullet was found to be 117.4 eggs as
compared to lila eggs per hen,
which is a difference of only SIX
eggs per bird in favor of the pullets.
Pullet eggs have a lower market
value than hen eggs because OF their
size, and it usually requires period
of two to four months after the first
egg before a pullet produces normal
sized eggs. Regardless of whether
distinction is made between hen and
pullet eggs in the markets, the pull
let eggs have a tendency to lower
the average price to the extent that
the apparent advantage of increased
numbers is often over balanced by
these reduced prices received by the
producers.
AS a rule, eggs from hens produce
much better chicks than eggs from
bullets, and this fact is generally
recognized in every commercial hat
cherry. The baby chick hatchery in
dustry in Delaware has grown rap
idly during the past five years, and
this condition has created a home
market for millions of Delaware
eggs at a substantial premium over
top Philadelphia quotations, thereby
establishing an increasing demand
for Matching eggs of good quality
from hens of the heavy breeds for
fall and winter broilers.
Egg production records and per-
formances of poultry flocks in the
State during the past few years seem
to indicate that about sixty per cent
of the flocks in Delaware should be
hens, and the remaining forty per
cent should be early Matched pullets
which have been raised under favor
able conditions and carefully culIed
throughout their growing period.
The selection of those hens to be
carried over should be made on the
basis of actual quality. health, and
production, rather than upon age
alone, as is apparently the present
practice among the poultry raisers
in this section.

ADVISES ON USE OF
PERPETRATORS

When the mercury mounts, left
overs-prOtein foods especially
should be watched carefully to pre-
vent souring and spelling, advises
DR.. Martha Manning, home refriger-
alton expert The ice box should be
inspected daily during hot weather
to see that small dabs of food are
not tucked away in corners and for
gotten.
To see that the ice chamber is
well filled is another important fac
tor in the preservation of foods. If
the temperature of the refrigerator
is allowed to rise to so degrees or
above, bacteria or moulds will null
tiply rapidly and cause food to spoil.
After having been cooked, eggs,
milk, cheese and meat should be
eaten, as soon as possible and not
allowed to remain in the heat for
any length of time. To save labor,
time and heat-all important items
when it's fine out of doors and hot
in the house-the modern housewife
prepares at one time a sufficient
quantity for the serving of two meat
dishes.

National Forecast Decrease
in Wheat Crop for 1928

A total United States wheat croE
for 1928 Of 799,937,0O0 bushels is in
Dictated on July l, compared with the
large 1927 crop of 872, $4,000 bushels
Combined with a carryover of old
wheat in farmers hands on July 1 this
year of about 23,472,0OO bushels, COM
pared with 27215,OOO bushels a year
ago, the 1928 supply situation is en-
couraging to producers.
The foreign wheat situation is also
encouraging. Such reports as are
available to date indicate decrease
of about 104,000,0OO bushels in 12
countries producing about 80 per cent
of tko total last year. In Canada
where from the 1927 crop, a large
carryover was expected, the June re
port of the grain commissioners noted
marked improvement in the move
ment Of the export surplus. Unoffi-
clal reports have given Canada for
1928 a crop but slightly smaller than
that of 1927. Unless these two ex-
port sources come fully up to present
expectations, the world situation may
show relatively larger demand on
the part of important countries
against decreased supplies in export
for the 1923 season, COM
pared with 1927.

Fudge is a popular CONNECTION the
year round and lucky is the person
whose product is smooth and creamy.
The greatest trouble most cooks have
with fudge is in its sugary or grainy
feeling. They try cooking the mix
ture fast and they cook it slow and
sometimes vary the amounts of the
ingredients.
However, the only thing that will
make the results uniformly good is to
add one tablespoon of white eorn
syrup for each cup of sugar used.
This is so because the sugar changes
IN cooking but if the quality of the
sugar is not Just right it is almost inn
possible to cook it so that the proper
change will take place. The syrup is
the sugar as it ought to be after cook
ing and by having a small amount
present all chance is done away with.
The Best Method
An infalible recipe fer delicious
fudge is this:
Mix 2 cups of sugar, rounding
tablespoons of cocoa, 2 tablespoons of
syrup and rs cups of rich milk. Cook
slowly, without stirring, to the soft
ball stage ESQ degreesl. Remove
from fire and add tablespoon of
butter.
Place pan in cold water and beat
until it can be lifted with spoon.
Add teaspoon of vanilla and chopped
nuts if desired. Pour over marsh
mallows on CREASED platter.

Music Stores Most Logical Radio
Dealers
Leaders in the industries of both
music and radio seem agreed that
eventually radio apparatus will have
its outlet chiefly through the music
stores of the country. Originally re-
fusing to stock radio apparatus, be-
cause radio was experimental and de-
signs changed overnight, the music
trade now has reversed itself and
thousands Of stores are adding radio
sets and parts as a regular depart
ment. Because of the refusal of the
music industry to handle radio, it was
necessary to sell it through automo-
bile supply houses, battery shops,
hardware stores and various other
illogical places of distribution. Now,
however, it is finally finding its real
home in the music establishments.
Il am anxious for every music mer-
chant in the country to sell radio" it
was recently declared by G. j. Rob-
erts, president Of the National Asso-
citation of Music Merchants. He be-
lieves there should be radio set in
every American home, and advises
music merchants to encourage its sale
in the ground that radio is doing
more right now than almost any other
agency to re-establish American home
life"
This view is also held by A. Atwater
Kent, radio manufacturer, who points
out the possibilities of radio as
preserver and renewer of home life.
Millions Of these homes can be
reached best by the music dealers
VINO years ago furnished them with
pianos and monographs.
Davis Amendment Makes Real
Problem for Commissioners
The Davis amendment to the radio
law of 1927, calling for an equal dis
tribution of broadcast licenses, wave
lengths and power among the five
zones into which the United States is
divided, has been the subject Of ex-
tended study by the radio commits
sioners.
Proposed solutions of the situation
have been coming in from all sources
but none seem to have been satisfac-
tory to the commission. Broadcasters,
manufacturers and dealers as well as
many private citizens have joined
forces in seeking to arrive at an equi-
table settlement.
1t looks as though the merits of the
equalization amendment were more
political than practical.
