FARM EGG RECORD CLUB
REPORT IS ISSUED

consideration the original number
of birds, however, the average pro
duction for the past year was 1881
eggs per pullet, 1898 eggs per hen,
and 1921 eggs per bird in the mixed
focks. According to Mr.. Palmer
these figures are the real criterion
for measuring the egg production
because they show whether or not
the. birds have the stamina to lay
heavily without breaking down and
owing to be sold. This report also
brings out the fact that the mortal
ity among the pullets was 1850 as
compared to only $3.50 for the hens
during the entire year.
All of these records have been
taken from the reports which were
sent to the extension poultryman for
the past year, and they represent
some facts that could not have been
secured except by the cooperation
of those poultrymen who have been
interested in keeping the monthly
egg production records. Many OF
these egg record calendars have
been distributed each year to the
poultry raisers throughout the State.
ANY one who does not have one OF
these calendars and who would like
to cooperate in this project by
keeping egg records are requested
to get in touch with the extension
Office in their county.

proachable and landings unusually
safe. 1t is a four way field of 235
acres.
Regarding the dedication of the
airport to the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
it is tentatively proposed that a day
be set aside for the program. This
would include assembling of the
Governors of Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia, with their respective
staffs, at the airport, and formal
dedication.
This would be followed by inspec-
ton of the airport with all elabOr-
ate schedule of aerOnautical events,
in which representative from the
leading airports and from Govern
ment departments would participate.
The affair would be open to the pub
lie without charge and would very
probably conclude with banquet to
the Governors, their staffs and invit-
ed guests, to be followed by dance
and reception to be known as the
Governors Ball.
While the proposal has just been
received it is being placed before
officials of the Del-Mar-Va Shore AS
sociation in the three states repre-
sented so that if opinion indicates
acceptance immediate steps may be
taken toward arranging for the cell
ebration.
Major Bayer has stated that dedi-
cation of this airport to the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula would demand no
future obligation from Peninsula
residents but would mean much to
the Peninsula because of the field
becoming nationally recognized as
the Del -Mar-Va Airport.

CANNES MUST WEAR
MUZZLE AFTER June |
Will Be Forced to Submit to In
dignity During Four
Month Period.

The dog days are fast approaching.
and Towser, Fido. Bosco and all their
little canine friends will soon have to
submit to the indignity of muzzles.
June l is the date, and the pooches
must not be permitted to wander at
large on and after this date for the
space of four calendar months with
out being securely muzZled.
Health Officer William C. Fowler is
the man responsible for the order. is
sued by the District Commissioners yes
terday He is a hard man. and has
said often that If he had his way he
would compel the dogs to be muZZled
all the year round.
Some years ago the muzzling period
was three months, but DR.. Fowler's fire.
quent recommendations had the effect
of lengthening the period to four months
during the regime of the past board
of Commissioners, and the present
board has followed along in its foot
steps.
The Commissioners, many of whose
problems of late have had decidedly
geological turn, were called on for an
other dog decision yesterday. There
was bill introduced in Congress pro-
hibiting experiments upon living dogs
before them for consideration. They
decided that the present laws prohibit
ing cruelty to animals were sufficient
and recommended adverse action on the
bill.
