American Legion Boys Wanted War Time Council Revived to Knock Out Depression Hoover Couldn't See H-Hs Employment Re- lief Commission Side tracked
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Washington, Sept 26.-(UP)- President Hoover, his faith in his government by commission" ap- parently shattered, probably will consign the American Legion's proposal to reviev the war time council to the White House waste basket.
 The project was advanced to aid in curing the depression, as one of a number of cures. Others have had no noticeable beneficial effect on the patient.
 The hypodermic now has been laid aside in favor of the slower course of nature, a most signifi- cant change in the White House psychology of dealing with the depression.

Such a one recently expressed a strong

all kinds of live stock and particularly
for dairy cows. His farm is well
adapted to the growing of alfalfa and
red clover and his two barns are filled
witr legume hay. all the straw being
stacked in the barnyard. He finds
that an acre of alfalfa hay will sup

Dairvman's Chance

Pure-bred bulls of the best type and
from high-producing dams are cheap.
Young sires carrying the best of dairy
blood may be had for as little as SIS.
Where three or four farmers club to-
gether to secure the service of such
an animal the cost is almost neg
ligable, yet the influence on the herd
is tremendous in lowering production
costs. says the Michigan Farmer.
While the state college better sire
truck is being exhibited at series
of meetings in six widely scattered
counties to urge this action by dairy
farmers there is no limitations on the
idea and groups of farmers every
where in the state can have the adj
vantages of these superior sires at
little cost. 1t should be remembered
that our outstanding farming estates
were invariably started by men who
made wise Investments during some
depression.

SOME GOOD POINTS
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Ventilation One Of Biggest
Problems.

Better Insulation has brought the
greatest Improvement of all to the
poultry house, says Successful Farm
ing. Insulation reduces the harmful
effects of the extremes of cold and
heat and makes the house more COM
Portable at all temperatures. The
''straw loft" house became popular
because 1t provided a cheap and eff
ficient roof insulation point large
ly neglected in the earlier houses.
The half-monitor type Of house was
never very successful because 1t
lacked insulation in the roof and was
consequently cold. damp house
in winter and a hot one in the sum-
mer. Many of these monitor houses
have been greatly improved by the
addition of straw ceiling. SINH
lar insulating effect can be secured
by some of the insulating boards now
on the market.
Ventilation Is another important
problem in poultry house construc-
ton because of it's effect on damp
ness and the inside temperature.
The only way to remove the excess
moisture in the house is by ventila-
ton or change of air. Air movement
should be very slow, so that no draft
of cold air is noticeable. In the aver
age run of farm poultry houses the
hens probably suffer more in severe
cold weather due to too much venti-
lation rather than too little.
Both the Nebraska and Iowa ex-
pertinent stations have found that hens
show no harmful effect from tightly
closed quarters during the winter.
While neither of these stations rec
ommend a tightly closed poultry
house, their findings indicate the I'M
portance of air purity may have been
overemphasized in the past.

Break Up Broodiness by
Feeding Better Rations

'Broody hens should be cooped the
first night they stay on the nest. as
any delay will increase the brooding
period" says Miss Cora Cooke, extern
sion poultry specialist, Minnesota UNI
versity farm. "In breaking up broodl-
ness, the sane way is to give the hens
humane treatment and feed them well,
so as to get them back to laying as
soon as possible.
1.-THE case is one for hospital treat
ment. rather than punishment, such as
starvation, or torture in solitary con-
finement," says Miss Cooke Build
the hens up to laying by good feeding
instead of starving or soaring them
out of broodiness. After all, what is
wanted are eggs.
"Confine broody hens in well-ven-
tilated Slated or netting coop, placed
in the shade. Supply dry mash all the
time in feed trough, feed a moist
mash once a day and feed scratch
grain lightly. Under such treatment,
hens will soon go back to laying II
caught the first night.
Don't stop with this. however.
Breeding broodiness out of the flock
is better than treating birds for the
ailment. Band hen every time she
goes broody. Omit from the breeding
pen hens wearing such bands and In
time trouble from broodiness can be
reduced to a minimum"

their eyes fixed on the pond. They

Peters heart went pit-a-pat. pit-a-
pat with excitement. What should he
do? What ought he to do? If he
should thump and try to waken
Honker and the other geese he would
give himself away. Would he be able
to reach the nearest bramble-tangle
before Old Man Coyote or Reddy Fox
could catch him? Perhaps those
sleeping geese would not drift any
nearer to shore and then they would
be safe and he would not need to give
warning. Perhaps they would cot hear
him even if he did thump and he
would run all that dreadful risk for
nothing. Anyway. there was no need
of doing anything just yet.
So Peter watched. Little by little
two or three of those sleeping forms
drifted nearer and nearer to the other
shore. By and by they were so near

must be done at once or it would be

Light Yolks Preferred

Poultry producers find that many
buyers in the large cities. especially
the New York market, prefer eggs
with light-colored yolks, the United
States Department of Agriculture
says.
Certain materials such as green feed
and yellow corn produce dark yolks,
but when eggs are candled it is often
difficult to tell whether the dark yolk
has been caused by feed or because
the egg has been exposed to heat.
Thus. although buyers prefer light
yolks, in order to be on the safe side.
dark yolks do not necessarily mean
that the eggs are inferior in quality.
Feeds such as white corn. wheat, buck
wheat, and oats result in eggs having
light yolks.
To be classed as a quality product,
eggs must be uniform in color and
size, and light yolks make them more
desirable in many markets.

BE SURE OF BULLS
VALUE AS BREEDER
Dairymen Often Too Quick
to Condemn Him.

Turning good pure-bred bulls into
beef before their actual value as breed
ers has been shown. is one of the
most wasteful dairy practices, says
bulletin of the University of Mime
sofa. The real worth of dairy bull
cannot be determined until his daugh-
tiers have been tested for butterfat
production in comparison with their
dams. Too often, however, before
this has been done, the bull has been
killed and all possibility of further
service cut off. Nine such examples
have been found in the four years of
testing carried on by the East Polk
County Dairy Herd Improvement as
ISOLATION.
This association has proven nine
pure-bred sires whose daughters pro-
duced more than their dams, the in
creases ranging from 20 to 81 per
cent. One dairyman owned two of
these sires, yet not one of the nine
remained alive when their worth was
known.
A recent sire to be proved was a
pure-bred Guernsey owned by Tilford
HaugstOl of FOsstOn. Seven daugh-
ters of this bull, all that have been
tested so far, have yearly production
records averaging 507.64 pounds cal
culated on the basis of maturity. The
seven dams have records averaging
SS2 81 pounds. The average increase
Ct daughters over dams in yearly but
terfat production is 273.77 pounds, or
sn increase of 50 per cent.
Had this bull been saved until the
above records were available, he would
nos only have been worth a good, big
price, but could have helped other
oairymen Improve their herds.
