the consumer demands for poultry

tinued increase in employment and

stocks Of frozen eggs on July 1 to-
tailed 103,138,000 pounds, which is
3 percent above the amount of last
year, ana percent above the five

ana puilets in farm f1ocks on July
was about the same as last year,
but the number of young chickens
in farm fiocks has increased about
percent, while the total stocks of
frozen poultry on July 1 Of this
year amounted to 42.756, 900
pounds. resulting in a gain of
about 100000 pounds over the
stocks Of July / last year. This re-

MILK COWS INCREASING
Total Number of Cows in State
One Per Cent Larger Than in 1882

T
That the number of milk COWS
on Delaware farms still continued
to increase during the first half OF
1888, but that the increasing trend
seems likely to be checked in the
last half of the year, are indicated
by survey of 55S farms made in
June by Richard c. Ross, Federal
agricultural statistician, in cooper
alton with rural mail carriers and
rural postmasters. The total num-
ber of cows on June 1 was shown
to be about one per cent larger
than on the same date in 1882.
However, the survey shows that
freshenings of heifers during the
six months December 1882 to June
1888 were considerably lighter
than during the spring months Of
1882 and that freshenings during
the last half of 1888 will also be
somewhat lighter than during the
corresponding period of last year
Disposals Of milk cows slaughter
ed, sold for slaughter, or shipped
to market) were reported to have
been much heavier than a year ago
this spring, while disposals during
the latter part of 1888 are expect
ed to be about equal to those of
last fall. The number of heifer
calves being saved for milk cows
was reported to be about the same
As were being held year ago in
June. Daily production of milk
per COW June / was indicated to
have ben little lower than a year
ago.

party.
Chautemps Unexpectedly an
nounced that his cabinet will be

said he intends to appeal for the
close collaboration of all groups.
Chautemps' decision to form a
radical cabinet was due to the
refusal of Francois-Pietri and 9TH
ers to collaborate with the Neo-
socialists. ,,.
Despite the apparent inability
to form a coalition, Chautemps IS
stalking hopes for existence OF his
cabinet on a fervent appeal to
unity of all groups in the cham

WORK IN week
Unemployment Battled to
Virtual Standstill in
Off Season
Bv ARTHUR F. DEGREVE

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. CUP
The recovery program battled un-
employment to a virtual standstill
during October in the face of a
normal seasonal decrease of 49,
600 IN the number of persons en-
ployed President William Green
of the American Federation OF
Labor, reported last night.
The report came as the civil
works administration estimated
that more than 100000 persons
were put to work last week thru
its $40O,OOO,OOO fund, and as re-
covery leaders doubled their eff
forts to take additional millions
off relief rolls before Christmas.
Green said unemployment in
creased only 1900 during Octo-
Der as compared with September.
Reports from trade unions, he
said show 21.8 per cent out of
work in the first part of Novem-
Der as compared with PIT per
cent in October.
"Both these records" he added,
"indicate that the NRA program
is keeping the employment situa-
ton under better control than is
usual at this time of year"
Other factors of the general re-
employment picture which Green
described as encouraging" in
cluded a rise of % per cent in
the total buying power Of all
workers in October and an in
crease of 23.1 per cent in the
workers real buying power in DC
tober over the March level. In
dollar buying power, Green SAID,
the total income of wage and
small salaried workers is above
the March level by nearly $780,
100000 a month. g.,
Green warned, however, that 1t
will be extremely difficult to
maintain employment during De-
cember, January and February
"unless supreme efforts ar
made" r.
The iederation's statistics for
the early part of November were
especially cheering to recovery
leaders. Sine. 1928 trade union
reports have shown an unemploy-
ment increase durisg November
of at least one per cent of the
membership. The present figures
indicate the slump in employment
will be considerably less this
month barring unforeseen deVel-
opments.
Action on the governments
work relief program was expected
on many fronts during the coming
week. The civil works adminlstra,
ton expects to put an additional
100000 persons to work Wlenln
three weeks. Administrator Harry
/ L. Hopkins has been in Warm
Springs, Ca, comforting with
President Roosevelt on this phase
of the administrations recovery
program.
The public works administra-
ton has allotted more than two
thirds of its $3,3OO,OO0,O00 fund,
and hundreds of thousands of un-
employed will be absorbed in
construction projects within the
next few weeks, officials esti-
mate. Administrator Harold l..
Ickes was to discuss this program
