LINES FROM RAIN IN SUMMER"
Good Evening.

How beautiful is the ranl
After the dust and heat.
In the broad and fiery street.
In the narrow lane
How beautiful is the rain
How it elatters along the roofs.
Like the tramp of hoofsl
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overlooking spout,
Across the window pane
1t pours and pours;
And swift and wide.
With muddy tide,
Like river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!

POULTRY INDUSTRY
! HARD TO REGULATE
Necessity of Raising Prices
Considered important in
! Such Wide Distribution.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AMES, Iowa, September 15.-The Ag-
ficultural Adjustment Administration Is
facing one of its toughest problems IN
efforts to improve the egg and poultry
industry. which does an aggregate busi-
ness of S., 600. .O00, 900 yearly-represent-
ing practically every farm in the United
States.
According to a statement made by
members of the Washington admins
tration staff to w. D. Termohlen, Iowa
State College extension poultry special
ist and co-worker with the administra-
ton on the problem. the necessity OF
raising poultry and egg prices Is col.-
sidered important because of the COM
modities' big value and the huge num-
ber of farms where they are the source
for pin money"
Most Widely Distributed.
Census figures for 1880 show that
poultry and egg production probably
was the most widely distributed Of any
farming activity:
OF 100000 farms in the United
States, 100000 keep poultry. and dur
ing 1929 they were growing 379 600
chYckens-284,0 ,00O.C coo of which were
sold for S262 900 600.
A total of 2,70O.000 900 dozen eggs was
produced and 2,O0O,OOO,OOO dozen were
sold by farms for S586000,000.
Difficulties now besetting the admin
istration, says Prof. Termohlen. include
the fact that poultry often is considered
only a side issue. That it is possible
to get into and out Of poultry and egg
production in one season-thus making
possible considerable f1uctuation of
supply and price.
The fact that buyers and middlemen
are both numerous and widely distrib-
uted. and that cold storage supplies
are from 40 to so per cent greater than
q year ago also complicates the prob
lem.
Storage Aids Stabilizing.
Administration economists agree that
storage of eggs and poultry has aided
in stabiliZing prices between seasons.
But because Of the tremendous supplies
now on hand they are considerable
market price factor-a point for con-
Germ in any price plan.
Unless something is done to correct
the price situation, says Prof. Termoh-

len. poultry producers may face the
necessity Of paying higher prices for
feed and labor, as well as higher living
costs. without corresponding increases
in prices of their products
A danger also exists. Termohlen
points out. in the possibility that. with
production Of basic commodities re-
