FEEDING PLAYS IMPORTANT
PART IN POULTRY PROFITS
sI To 200 Eggs Per Year

Few have thought Of what a
change there has been in the poul-
try industry and the hen; from the
bird that naturally foraged her own
feed, provided her own housing fa-
cilities, and laid about two dozen
eggs per year, Matched them, and
raised the ehicks-to the 200 eggs
per year bird. This is indeed pro-
gfess. Many Of the better flock own
ers are now approximating this
amount.
All this has not come about just
by chance. It has taken years Of
study and experimenting and the
fundamentals Of good poultry man
agement, Of the proper breeding
program, Of a balanced ration feed
ing schedule, have been materially

Plant Quarantine Finds
Biggest Job In Insects

The Japanese beetle and the gyp-
sy moth were responsible for most
of the violations OF domestic plant
quarantines in the year ended June
30, 1885. Plant quarantine inspectors
of the United States Department of
Agriculture at the principal railway
terminals examined 100000 pack
age shipments and 1000 carlot ship
ments of plants and plant material
subject to Federal plant quarantines
to determine whether they were
properly certified as free from Ger
tain insect pests and plant diseases.
They found and stopped 1912 ship
ments-the largest number since
1932-in violation of the law. These
were: Japanese beetle, 1925; gypsy
moth, 408; narcissus bulb pests,
149; white pine blister rust, 7S; /

Survey Shows Too Many
Fertilizer Grades Sold

Most farming areas which use
large quantities of commercial fer
tilizer could be supplied by q dozen
OF so properly selected grades such
as 4-8-4, 2-l2-6 and others. Yet, far
mers as a whole must choose from
more than thousand grades when
they buy fertilizer.
Almost 40 peFsrent of the three
and O quarter million tons of fertil-
izer sold in 1894 was of five popular
grades, 1873, 3-S-5, 4-8-4, 2-12-6, and
1877. The remainder, little more
than so per cent, was divided among
more than 800 grades, according to
a joint survey by the Bureau of
Chemistry and Soils and The Ma /
tiOnal Fertilizer Association. This /
information, the investigators say,
might well be used as a basis for
reducing the number of grades.
Only q grades were sold in Miss
issippi-the smallest number in any
state using large quantities of fer
tilizer-as compared to 425 grades
sold in Florida. In Mississippi S5
per cent of the fertilizer was of one
grade. In Florida, total sales for
each of more than 200 grades were
25 tons or less.
I'm most states fertilizer manu-
facturers are compelled by competi-
tion and other circumstances to
make and stock many grades" says
DR.. w. w. Skinner, Assistant Chief
Of the Bureau. Fertilizer bags and !
tags have to be printed. chemical
analyses made, and storage space I
provided for each grade. The cost of t
these items is about the same whe- I
ther or 5000 tons are sold" v
Farmers can help eliminate Il
many unnecessary grades by finding
put the few well-selected grades Z
that will serve their needs. This II
would help the local fertilizer man p
lfacturer to produce tonnage in r
stead of grades and sell his pro- II
lucts for less money" g

laying the number Of eggs. she
stores up in her body a number of
additional YOlks, in all probability
to help maintain her body during
the winter months when feeds would
be scarce.
Because we wanted more eggs and
fresh eggs the year around, it was
necessary to force production.
We decided to feed the year
around and give her warm quarters;
this added some to production. In
addition we found by feeding GER
tain materials we could make more
whites for these stored up yolks.
and this further increased produce
tion.
While we say this increased Dro-
ductiOn, 1t may not be true, for IL
given time enough it appears that
hens will lay n total of almost as
many eggs on one system of feed
ing and housing as the other. How
ever, by proper housing and feeding.
he hen lays these eggs over a per-
cd of Is months TO two years as
leainst to years under the old
" normal way Of feeding and hous-
ng. From this it can easily be seen
hat a great deal Of feed and time

Incidentally we have fresh eggs the

To accomplish this, we find Il
ecessary to feed not only scratch
aeds, (starch and sugar: whole
rain feeds) but we must feed egg
lash tprotein; ground grains, grain
y-products, meat, FISH and milk '
,eds).
Proper feeding has played quite

the desired obiectives could. many
Of them, have been Obtained With
in the framework of the Consti-
tuition.
The trouble arose through three
major facts: That much of the
legislation was too hasty; that a
lot OF it was drawn up by or at
the behest Of the executive branch
OF the government instead Of by
Congressman; and that many of
the Presidents adVisers-and the
President himself-were frankly
impatient Of Constitutional re-
stIainis. Mr. Roosevelt. himself
in demanding the passage Of the
Guffy coal bill, urged Congress
not TO permit doubts as TO the
eOnstitutiOnality. however reason
able. to block the suggested legis-
latiOn."
IN retrospect It is clear that the
extent Uf the Presidential msurpa-
tiOn Of Legislative power was far
greater than anyone had believed
possible II was the task of the |
Supreme Court 10 check this. and |
TO make il possible for Congress |
to reassert its powers.
This opportunity Congress now
has. The occasion is a momen-
tous one. The period Of the emer-
gency is over. and the expert
ments of the New Deal have come
to an end. But much remains TO
be dOne-much very important
work. In this work Congress is
sure to have TO play a major part.
Important policies have to be de-
cided. They cah OnI ybe well de-
cided after the most thorough dis
cussion and deliberaliOn. Ia
This presents to the Republic
cans two obligations: In the Dres- q
ent session OF Congress to do all b
in its power 10 check fresh at e
tempts at Presidential usurpa- e
tioh; and 10 make every effort e
next autumn to elect as many Re L
publicans to Congress as possible.

GREETED. When the Party in power
has such an enormous ma sority as
have the Democrats IN the pres
ent House there can be no effec-
tive minority check. This in part
explains why so much OF the New
Deal legislation was so carelessly
thrown together. Anything could
be jammed through Congress. All
that was necessary was 10 have
word from one Of the White
House agents that "he9 wanted IL,
and il would become law.
In the new Congress the Repub-
licans are likely to have ma
iority. Let us hope that this ma
iOrity will have learned the les
son which the Supreme Court has
taught, and that it will be more

.gressional prerogatives. II has a

duty. II it fails 10 perform this
duty, if it fails to seize the op-

should, we may then face a new
and serious crisis.
II is perhaps too much 10 eX-
peet the injured New Dealers to
refrain from attacking the SUI

10 bear in mind is that the Court
