POULTRY GLEANINGS

Alabama farmers raised 11,340,-
900 chickens in 1882.
A White Leghorn pullet In Brit
ish Columbia laid 357 eggs in 365
days.
Feed costs amount to about co or
20 per cent Of the cost of poultry
production.
In Missouri tests it was found
that burning lights in the poultry
house all night Increased winter
egg production.
Soft grits are not as efficient as
hard, and II used should be fur
nished in somewhat larger guam
tity. 1t Is essential that the grit
used be sharp-pointed.
The pullet's egg may be small at
hrst, Dut IL represents days work
for the pullet Size of egg is very
likely to increase with age. so too
much should not be expected of the
flappers at first.
When the oldest hen known near
Rhinelander, Wis, died at the age
Of eighteen years she had laid ap-
proximately 1900 eggs. She had
raised a brood of chickens each
year for seventeen years.
Don't overcrowd the laying
houses. Three and one-half to four
square feet per bird is required to
properly house the laying bird. Each
hen will need seven to eight lineal
inches on the roosting pole.

CHANGES SEE
IN D. {. SET-UP

Many changes in the District
Government are to be recommend
ed to the Senate subcommittee ap
pointed to consider such changes,
it was predicted today at the Dis
trict Building, where Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts and
Auditor Daniel Donovan are at
work on a final report on the Dis

The main feature of the pro.
posals will be the Capitalization Of
authority and The elimination of
several existing boards.
Among the proposals now being
studied is the elimination of the
Board of Education, the Public

There is also a possibility of a
recommendation to give to the
District Government the jurisdic.

TRASH DISPOSAL

less something is done speedily
to untangle the legal knots about
the excess commercial trash sit

The District government takes
care of private refuse and trash,
and after Monday will be able to
make a start, at least, on remov-
ing and burning Government
trash. The Districts two incin-
orators will both be in operation
next year, but they are not large
enough to take care of all COM
mercial trash.
Meantime hotels and stores

on a dump near the south end
of the Highway Bridge. Pro
tests from neighbors have re-

matter himself. He said:
"A study of utilities, banks
and other taxable agencies
should be made, and in keep
ing with other studies already
made, 1 propose to bring this
matter to the attention of the

greSs. In several States in the
past decade or more, legiSla-
ton has been worked out deal
ing with this subject in a more
equitable, just and modern
manner.
From a preliminary study I
have made, it does not appear
to be that public utilities of
the District are bearing their
proper share of the tax burden,
and a spirit of fairness to the
general taxpaying body of the
District demands that a com

Capper Bill Failed
During the last session of Con.

FOR NEGLECT
Of CHILDREN
N. E. A. Convention Told
Pupils Are Bearing Cost of
Slump Here, But Not Abroad

Charging that the United States
States has fallen behind foreign
countries in providing educational
opportunities to its youth dur
ing the depression, the National
Council of Education today
adopted resolution demanding a
positive, aggressive, and fearless
advance movement" for increased
funds.
The resolutions were adopted
by the council at its meeting in
the Mayflower Hotel preliminary
to the seventy-second annual
convention of the National Edu.
cation Association, which holds
its first general session tonight
at the washington Auditorium.
Children HANDICAPPED
Declaring that for nearly four
years the public schools of the
country have been without ade-
quate funds to carry on their
necessary activities because of re-
trenchments and curtainmentS
which have "affected adversely
both pupils and teachers" the
resolution continued:
"WhiIe some foreign countries
which we have been accustomed
to regard as much less advan-
tageOusly situated than our
selves have made the welfare
of their children a matter Of
first Importance, our people
have been willing to permit the
children to help pay for the
depression"
The council advocated that not
only the community and the State
should contribute to the support
of the public school system, but
also the Federal Government.
Tuition Plan Opposed
Other resolutions urged COM
prehensive study of the problems
of youth to relieve the effects Of
the social system which has
brought about "a sense of doubt,
insecurity, restlessnesS, and fear"
and criticized the plan proposed
by some that parents should be
required to pay tuition fees for
secondary education to their chill
dren. 3
Charging that the spreading
of libelous SANDER" concerning
the intelligence of high school
children has undermined the pub
lie faith in the value of secondary
education, Gustave A. Feingold,
high school principal of Hartford,
Conn.,, today demanded "the nee
eSSary funds for the maintenance
of the high schools on a dignified
professional level"
Mr.. Feingold, speaking before
the National Council of Educa-
ton of the National Education
Association in the Mayflower
Hotel, declared:
I'm the last few years much
damage to the support of the
public schools has been done by
the spreading of the libelOus
SANDER that so per cent of the
children enrolled in the high
schools are incapable of bene-
fitting from education and should
be provided with pursuits under
the name of instruction which
are not educational at all.
HANDICAPS SCHOOLS
"ThiS, of course, tends to
make people who have charge
of the public funds hesitate
about providing the necessary
funds for the maintenance of
the high schools in a dignified
professional level"
Experiments Urged
Mrs. Lucy L. w. Wilson, prin-
cipal of a Philadelphia school,
outlining the outstanding prob
lens involved in present trends,
declared:
"The need for a new educa-
tiOnal program for secondary
schools is immediate and i'm

ton. 1t demands intelligent ex-
