tended that unless the Langmuir
patents were set aside General Elec-

In the second decision the powers
of the federal trade commission to
regulate advertising are restricted.
The commission had ordered the Raj
adam company of Detroit to cease
advertising an obesity remedy as
"safe" unless accompanied by a state
ment that it should be taken under
advice of a physician. The commits
sion held it had the right to protect
the public in this way, but the Detroit
concern complained that the body was
trying to censor advertising. In this
contention it was upheld by the court.

LeghOrns Average 18
EggsPer HenIn

BOHEMIAN, October 13.-Thomas R.
Bennett Of Somers, gained first place
honors in class "A" with his flock of
ZIG white leghorns by averaging Is
eggs per hen during the month of
August, according to Miss H. E. Cush-
man, extension poultry specialist at
Montana State College. Glass 'B" hon
ors go to the white plymouth rock
flock owned by Mrs. George McHoes,
Plevna, with production average of
1875 eggs per hen for the month. Class
"A" flocks have 100 hens or over and
Class "B" have less than 100 hens.
Reports of the work done on each
Of the poultry demonstration farms are
sent to Miss Cushman at the end Of
every month and summary of all of
them are in turn sent back to each
flock owner. In the report for August
is a comparison of flocks that reached
the 200-egg mark each year for the
last three years. Up to the end of
August 1929 the number of eggs per
hen was 1881 Through August 1896
the number of eggs per hen was 1911
and through August of this year the
number reached by the leading flock
was 2O2a eggs The average eggs per
hen per month during 1929 was 1873.
This dropped to 1853 during 1890.
According to Miss Cushman, most
poultry flocks are melting and con-
siderable falling off in production can
be expected during September and will
probably carryover for some time.
One of the important problems aris-
ing during August was treatment for
lice. Miss Cushman is advising poul-
trymen that for individual treatment
good results can be obtained with
sodium fluoride A number Of flock
owners use "Blackleaf-40" for flock
treatment with excellent results but
some object to the cost of such treat
ment. This objection can be met by
following directors carefully which
means spraying only very thin stream
along the roost just before roosting
time Another treatment which Miss
Cushman recommends is waste crank
case oil thinned down to the consist
ency of paint with a mixture Of five
percent crude carbolic added. This last
mixture should not, however, be used
around nests as it will faint the eggs,
Miss Cushman warns.
