ency of your hens, or in other words,
the number of eggs laid per bird per
year.
The number of eggs laid per bird
per year is determined largely by
the time that the pullets start lay
! ing in the fall. Practically all of
our high producing hens in egg lay
ing contests start laying in October
or November.
Only by keeping your eye on the
goal all of the time can you be sue
cessful. Neglecting the pullets af-
ter the weather becomes warm, the
egg prices relatively low, and poul-
try meat prices relatively low, has
been the cause of producing many
inefficient pullets on the average
farm. 49,
Thirty years ago very few farm
fiocks laid fall and winter eggs.
Better feeding methods during the
summer months, has enabled the
farmer to produce eggs at the time
of the year when they are highest
on the market. ResOrting to inefi-
cient ratiOns under present condi-
tions is entirely wrong because the
pullets that will be produced under
those conditions will be less eff
cient machines than the farmer has
been producing and under present
conditions it is necessary that pro-
duction machinery be more efficient
rather than less efficient.
Keep your eye on that goal-good
pullets that will start laying in the
fall of the year and every day let
the ration and the management Of
those pullets work toward that goal.

INCREASE IN LOANS
FOR EUROPE URGED
Head of Canadian Bank Believes
Foreign Credits Should Be Ex-
tended by U. S.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 17-Sir Her.
bert Holt, head of the Royal Bank of
Canada, concurs in the belief expressed
recently by Albert H. Wiggin, chairman
of the Chase National Bank, that the
most important factor in establishing
satisfactory conditions is a normal flow
OF loans from the United States to
foreign countries.
Otherwise" said Sir Herbert, in a
statement made public through the New
York ofdce Of the bank, The nations
OF the world must adjust their economy
to non-export basis.
Il also entirely agree that industry
cannot adjust itself to changed condi-
tons without cutting operating expense,
and unless there is an immediate i'm
provement in the prices of commodities
l do not see how some general reduction
IN wage levels can be avoided"
Sir Herbert said that the drastic fall
in the price level has greatly increased
the burden of international debts and
has accumulated a condition which was
already acute, namely, the position of
reparationS and war debts.
Thus the Young plan signed within
the year imposes a greater burden of
debt on Germany than did the Dawes
plan, providing that total payments
should be reduced to the extent of an
improvement in the purchasing power
of gold"
THE sooner this whole question is
taken out Of the realm Of politics and
international recrimination and dis
cussed on its merits, the better it will
be Tor the world" he concluded.

STOCKS ARE FIRM
. IN LIGHT TURNOVER
Price Changes Fractional
During Draggy Week End
Session.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 17.-With the
smallest first half hour of trading of
the year to date and quiet conditions
through the rest of the session, the
stock market today was able to main
tain a moderately firm tone. Some
issues increased the gains established
in Fridays late operations.
1t was a market without much color
and where fractional fluctuations were
in the majority. The abrupt turn in
sentiment late Friday had the effect of
modifying the attitude of the profess
sional traders.
It also led to some cancellation of
selling orders by commission houses
whose customers had been uneasy over
the daily average declines of large pro-
portions early in the week.
Trade Reviews Cheerful.
There was not much in the days
news to encourage or discourage trad
ers. Sentiment expressed in the COM
mercial reviews was generally cheer
full indicating a slow but sure pickup
in numerous lines of industry. Wall
Street had a revival of what was once
a popular and frequent rumor, namely,
that Secretary Mellon was about to
resign. This was Immediately denied
Grain markets were steadier. Bonds
continued in good demand and at higher
prices, both in the domestic and for
eign divisions of the market.
Such evidences of sluggish trade as
were given in the figures of December
imports and exports, and in the falling
off in bank clearings, occupied little
attention in the minds of those who
were the buyers and sellers of stocks
today.
The motors, especially General Motors
and Nash, were quite active and showed
signs of accumulation. United States
Steel and Vanadium maintained most
of Fridays substantial net advances.
Several of the rails, as New York Gen.
trail, Pennsylvania and Chesapeake 81
Ohio, displayed a firm tone. The COM
munication stocks, American Telephone
g. Telegraph, International Telephone
& Telegraph and Western Union, were
all strong.
Pressure Lighter.
Pressure appeared to have been lifted
from the merchandising shares and from
the electrical and food issues. In all
cases the changes, however, were moder-
ate, and, from a long-term standpoint,
without much significance.

NEW YORK, January 17.-Increased
activity In the steel industry, with in
creasing- orders from the automotive
plants following the return to work of
100000 men in the Detroit area, are
mentioned by the trade publications as
outstanding features of business in the
last week. Other evidences of improve
ment are noted, including increased or
ders for glass in Pittsburgh, larger
goods and a seasonal increase in the
sales of heavy Winter goods, due to the
cold weather.

Trade and industry, generally speak

cheerfulness noted last week and even
to have added to 1t slightly in the case
of the automobile and steel industries,
where further accessions to working
forces have been made. In steel. aside
from some rail orders the notable de-
velopment has been the placing of very
large orders for pipe and further loosen

material.
