States on January /, while on March l
there we're two less birds per farm
flock than a year ago. Less chicks
are being ordered from hatcheries
than last year, 78 per cent decrease
being noted in chicks for January de-
livery and later, 40 per cent de-
crease in orders for February de-
liveries or later and 81 percent less for
March delivery or later. Although
more chicks may arrive via the "set-
ting hen" route, these constitute a
minor factor in the general outlook.
In comparing 1882 with 1881, 1t must
be remembered there were ~ per cent
salable chicks Matched in 1881 than in
1880.
Egg receipts at eastern markets were
about 20 per cent less from January
first to April 10 compared to the same
period last year. Receipts Of eggs
from the Pacific Coast at primary
markets were 20 per cent less, and Al
per cent less for Midwest receipts
than during the week ending April Q
a year ago. Storage eggs for the
United States on April / were about
IS per cent less than year ago.
Despite less hens, smaller storage
stocks, less chick orders and fewer
fresh receipts, egg prices are low be-
cause, as in many other products sup
ply and demand are not operating
normally. The falling price level and
lowered purchasing power continue to
outweigh reduced supplies and fair
demand. Lack of finances for the
normal storage operations is also a
depressing factor.
Although egg prices are low, feed
prices are slightly more favorable in
relation to egg prices than a year ago.

Don't Scare Child
With a 'Bogy Man

Fear Is perhaps the most common
emotion human beings experience, yet
it is extremely doubtful If the child
has any inherent fears at birth. Most
fears are produced by some experience,
through which the Individual passes
in early life, according to Miss Lorna
Barber, extension specialist in child
development and nutrition, Washing
ton State college.
Considering the fears of children,
the adult thinks of them as foolish
and unreasonable because he fails to
understand what impression and feel
ings these fears have left upon the
child. They govern the child's conduct
for a long time. Many parents use
fear as punishment in trying to gain
a desired conduct. Many children are
threatened with the policeman or the
"bogy man. or perchance mother sug-
gests that the rag man will put the
child in his bag and carry him off.
There is nothing more cruel or in
consistent than such statement. This
only increases the childs insecurity
and makes his conduct more of a
problem.
Children quickly adopt the attitude
of adults, be 1t fear or bravery. They
seem to be able to sense when par
ents are afraid no matter how care
fully they try to conceal their feel
ings. The most common fears are of
the dark, animals, water, and the
doctor man that cuts fingers off of
little boys when they touch things.
Many fears come from overhearing
adult conversation. Things said in a
jest may cause great anxiety to a
little child. A college professor tells
how he suffered in boyhood for weeks
because some one told him If he ate
bread and molasses horns would grow
on his head.
+ Fear is driving force in human
conduct. 1t makes us do things. 1t
keeps us from doing them. 1t is use
less to talk about Graduating fear, but
in training the child every effort
should be made to see that fear does
not become curse rather than a
means of protection The child should
not be weighed down with fears,
afraid to play happily or work with
enthusiasm, all because some one
found it convenient to get him to obey
through fear or failed to help him by
wise understanding and explanation
at the right time.
