 Eric and Philip Johnson who went Co Florida several weeks ago, in search of employment. are finding the out look as diseouraging there as lt is in the east Jobs are scarce, and the unemployed are many.
 Christmas exercises and tree in the church. are being planned for some evening during Christmas week. 4 reversal. however. of the usual order of things will be, that instead of receiving gifts at that time, each one is asked Co bring gifts for distribu- ton among those less fortunate than themselves. Christ's teaching that, "It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive." will be exemplified.

The Value of High Egg Production

The Value of High Egg Production
 Which would you rather have as a means of increasing the net returns from your poultry--an increase of I2 eggs per bird in average produe- ton. an increase of Sc per dozen for eggs sold, or a decrease of soc per hundred pounds in feed costs?
 Just thlnk this over: Twelve eggs per bird at an average price per dozen would give you 45c; an in- crease of Sc per dozen On a i5-doz- en average production would give 45c; and a decrease of 50c per cwt in feed costs with a consumption of so to S5 pounds of feed per bird) would give you saving of 45c.
 The question now arises. which would be easiest for you to do or would 1t be possible for you to do all fhreeg-To accomplish all three would be changing the status of your flock from just paying expenses to making a nice profit
 The value of high egg production is outstanding, because of the tre- mendous variation in production whereas egg prices and feed costs re- main more or less constant. Further more, increased egg production is entirely within your power and can be readily influenced by better breed ing, feeding, or management, where az the variation limits in egg prices and feed costs are definitely drown.
 The range in average egg produe- ton in the Connecticut Egg-Laying Contest for the past year was from 90 eggs per bird up to 226 eggs per bird, with l62 as an average. The low-producing flock was without question kept at a loss. while the high producing flock paid a hand some profit.
 High egg production can be main tained only by making every day and every month count. Good breeding, which Is necessary, can be obtained by planning for the future; but everyday practices such as lighting. feeding. and management. may be varied now to improve present pro- duction. Heavy feeding is necessary for high production, as there is direct relation between total food consumed and egg production.
 There are two ways n which egg price may De atiecteu-onc iS thfOugn finding a better marke or by better selling; the other is through produc- ing a high quality egg with larger size, better interior quality, and bet ter shell texture which reduces break age and prevents evaporation.
 Feed costs per hundred pounds or per bird can be reduced by better buy ing and the use of a maximum amount of the feeds which are at present relatively low in price. Qual- ity is, however, very necessary, and should not be sacrificed.
 One of the first requirements in obtaining higher average egg pro- duetion IS to keep careful record of eggs produced. in order to meas ure progress. If interested in a Poultry Calendar or the Connecticut Home Egg-Laying Contest, ask your County Agent about it.

TOO LAZY TO FIGHT

I never was too proud to fight, but
have always been too lazy; to scrap
arounds with main and might, to me
seems rather crazy. ] know man who
loves to scrap, no armored knight was
ever holder; a challenge broods upon
his map, he has a chip upon his
shoulder. He says to me, Come out
of doors. there is a matter we must
settle. and 1 will cover you with sores,
and find If you have any mettle." Per-
hapS / show a craven heart when
refuse to seek the alley and have him
rend my bones apart, while dead game
sports are keeping tally. But refuse
to do hard work unless I'm drawing
Seemly wages, and confess am a
shirk at taking up mems battle cages.
Abundant energy's required to punch
the head of some strong neighbor, and
when I'm winded, when I'm tired, what
is the guerdon for my labor? Who pays
me for the honest sweat that I have
shed while swatting noses2 Will whip
ping some one pay debt, or make my
lot bed of roses? Professionals may
draw their pay for slugging other
moron thinkers; there's nothing for the
private jay except loose teeth and
blackened blinkers. Men living in my
neighborhood will gladly pay me USE
full money to saw their piles of four
fo1t wood, to herd their bees and
gather honey. They'll pay me
promptly, pay me well, when am toll
ing sanely, meekly, and in the local
B. 81 L. can deposit rubles weekly
But who would pay me for the scrap
Who'd pay me for my damaged map,
and for my peace so badly blighted?
