The Treasury today began work
ing double shifts in its division
handling preparations for pay
ment Of the $1,924,00o, 900 soldiers
bonus.
Day workers were directed to
come to their offices at $50 a. m.
instead of 9, and a night shift
was installed, to begin operations
this afternoon at 4 p. m.
Officials hoped by this rein
forcement of the present setup to
approach completion Of the
tremendous job by June Is, the
scheduled date for payment to
begin.
Plain arithmetic was sill against
the Woodworking clerks and
stenographers, however. II the
present. output Of 10000 apphcac
lions daily is doubled because OF
the double-shift in the checking
room, this would permit the
handling Of less than 100000 ap-
plications between now and June
is. Up to the present, less than
100000 have been sped on their
way toward the final envelope
which will enclose bonus bonds
and checks.
Adding these two figures, total
Of less than half a million Is
obtained-and there are $500, 900
applications to handle in all.

show an average of 23o birds to the

structions as to handling and care of
poultry and also as to methods of record
keeping. These meetings were conducted
by G. ]. Maupin, extension poultryman

ComfortImportant
For Laying Hens
Body Size And Weight Is
Factor In Producing
Large Eggs

Comfort enables the hen to utilize
feed in manufacturing eggs instead of
using the energy thereby obtained to
maintain body warmth" says P. H.
Cooling South Carolina extension poul-
tryn1an. Therefore it is necessary for
hens to be in house free from drafts
but with ample ventilation in order for
the hen to make eggs from the raw
materials which she eats"
PulIets to lay large eggs steadily
throughout the winter must have body
size and weight, the specialist points out.
Light breed pullets should weigh three
and one-half to four pounds when they
start laying. Heavy breeds should
weigh four and one-half to five pounds.
Immature pullets must not be forced into
egg production by feeding them on a
laying mash.
A we'll balanced egg mash may be
made by using 200 pounds of yellow
corn meal, 200 pounds of wheat sorts.
and 100 pounds of meat scraps or fish
meal. If there. is supply of oats OH
hand, 50 pounds of finely ground oats
may be substituted for an equal guam
tity of shorts.
Every poultryman should plant
wheat for his Chickens" Mr.. Cooling
advises. 1T is true that wheat is an
uncertain crop, but it is worth taking
a chance. 1t requires about IS bushels
for 100 laying hens or one-fourth bushel
per hen per year. If good land is seeded
to what in October or November rea-
sonable yield would be from 10 to 20
bushels. Hence, if farmer has 100
hens he should be able to grow an am
pie quantity of what for them OH two
acres. Whole ground wheat will give
practically as good results as shorts and
wheat can be ground on any corn mill. -"

With voting time just around the
corner, the farmer once again is COM
ing into his own.
Make no mistake about it, the can
dldates are going after the farm vote.
All OF which reminds me of political
meeting l attended not so long ago in
my native county of Surry.
The hopeful candidate, his pockets
full of cheap cigars, strutted out on
the platform, smiled sweetly and, bid
ding for the rural vote, started off by
saying:
II was raised on the farm
SO are the hogs" interrupted voice
from the back of the audience.
Come to think of it, it might not be
bad idea if few more of our Office
holders and agricultural experts had
been brought up on the farm.
Just the other day George Ross, of
the Rural Resettlement Administration,
who, by the way, knows farming from
the back of a pair of plow handles as
we'll as from behind mahogany desk,
mailed me a clipping which shows that
some of the workers in the Department
of Agriculture are at least little rusty
on the subject of processing cotton.
The clipping tells of a cotton gin
operator who, negotiating for a govern
ment loan, received letter from Wash
ington stating that the government
would mot lend money on gins or any
other distillery for the manufacture of
intoxcants."

Business-Like Goat
In Subway Butts Into
Everyone's S Business

NEW YORK, Nov. ia small
goat, which harasSed officials are
sure is somebody's pet, caused a
lot of excitement yesterday by be.
coming New York's first caprine
subway passenger.
The animal is about six months
old, with horns just beginning to
sprout, and a glossy white-and-
brown coat. It invaded the
Church Avenue station of the In
dependent Subway System in
Brooklyn.
How it got onto the Manhattan
bound platform is not clear, but as
far as subway officials could learn
it just walked down the stairs with
the other commuters. Anyway, it
had such a businesslike way Of
charging at passengers with its
head down that they think it may
have been going to business.
George Swan, Negro porter at
the station, tried to catch it, but
got no further than having it
dodge past him onto a crowded
train.
There were a lot Of Straphang-
ers on the train, a fact which
seemed to arouse the goats worst
nature. Approaching from behind,
it tried to make several Of them
sit down-and succeeded.
Salvatore Langro, a conductor,
corralled it and locked it up in an
empty motorman's booth.

BLAZE RAzES
FRAME HOUSE

An overheated furnace was
blamed today for a fire which
almost destroyed a duplex frame
house at 402-404 B st. S. E., in
one of the oldest sections of Wash
ington. The house had been con-
verted into apartments, and was
occupied by two colored families.
Fearing that the flames from
the old frame structure would
spread to other houses in the
same neighborhood, firemen re-
spending to the first alarm turned
in a second alarm shortly after
arrival. The fire was quickly
brought under control and con-
fined to the house where it origi-
mated.
Mrs. Naomi Nichols, IS, cclored,
occupied the home at 404 B st.
She was carried to safety. Two
sons, John II, and Melvin, IL, and
a roomer, Miss Annie Hawkins, A.,
lived with her. The other half of
the house, at 402, was occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Dyson
and their two children, Elizabeth,
16, and an infant daughter.
