POULTRY A BILLION
DOLLAR CROP

Most of US nave poultry. We
like our eggs for breakfast and
fried chicken every once in a
while. Poultry produces whole
sonic food which our family
needs. This alone is reason enough
for keeping il. But aside from
this. poultry is an important item
in our farm business. Study these
figures: Ia the United States in
1920, there were 100000, 900
chickens. They produced l,655.-
100000 dozen eggs. The chickens
and eggs sold during 1919 brought

cent OF the total value of all live
stock products. Poultry is worth

is an important and profitable
branch of our farm business. The
hen fits in with diversified farm
ing, the only kind of farming that
brings permanent success TO an
individual or to community.
With this insight into the enor-
NOUS poultry enterprise in the
United States, let's take UP some
OF the essentials to- profitable
poultry production.
First, provide a decent poultry
house and keep IL clean. This
should be- at least twenty feet
deep and twenty feet long for 90
hens. Many types are used, out
we use largely the shed roof and

Lambs Bringing
Higher Prices As
Grading Applied
Grading Instruction Given
in State; Specifications
10 Be Maintained

The flat-price basis of buying
lambs is unsatisfactory for farm
ers who raise choice lambs, and
each wear greater efforts are
made to get the business on a
grade basis. This year. the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics re-
ports, State graders are working
at more country ShipDing points
than ever before. Thousands of
lambs are being graded and mark
cd with red. blue. or yellow chalk
or paint marks. The mark shows
the grade Of the lamb, and the
animal will be sold by that grade
whether at the shipping point or
at the central market. Buyers are
paying better prices for the high
grade lambs than when they were
buying all lambs at flat rate:
Federal graders are cooperating
in lamb-gradinG demonstrations at
some of the points in Virginia,
West Virginia, and North Caro-
lima. As the grading is done the
Graders explain to the watching
farmer Just why each lamb goes
into a specific grade. Thus a
farmer not only stands to, get "a
better price for his lambs, but ne
learns what kind to raise for best
returns. Similar demonstrations
have been held in other States in
other years.
Grade specifications developed
by the bureau ere used in this
work, so the grading is alike at all
points where State or Federal
graders are working and will be
the same next year wherever SIM
liar work is done.

SKETCH MAP OF FARM
SIMPLIFIES TASK

1t is quite simple to make out
a crop rotation if a sketch map
of the farm is made showing the
different fields. A good policy to
follow in making out a rotation
is to have the same number Of
fields as there are years in the
rotation. The longer the rotation
the better. In making the rota-
ton the needs of the livestock and
soil types should be kept in mind.
After the rotation is planned, the
farmer should stick to it as near
as possible.

and soil conservation next week.

BALANCED FARM PREVENTS
TOTAL FAILURE

A good rule to follow determr
ming the amount of livestock for
the farm is to have one unit of
livestock to each four or five
acres of row crops. BY having his
income from several sources the
loss from complete failure of the
farm is greatly reduced.
Among other advantages of Il
good crop rotation, the following
may be listed:
/. Makes farm management
easier by knowing in advance
what crops are to be planted on
the different fields.
2. Diversifies the farm by hav-
ing several major farm incomes.
3. Improves soil fertility by
providing for soil conserving and
soil building crops.
4. Distributes labor on the
farm by having the different
peak labor seasons for the differ
ent farm enterprises coming at
different times.
5. Balances the farming system
by providing adequate livestock.
6. Controls insects and dis
eases.
In carrying out this farm man.
agement program, accurate farm
records should be kept in order
to determine whether the farm in
being made profitable under the
new Set-up.

The Belasco
''Dancing Feet" Has
Two Good Songs
With Humor.

THE one about the rich but head
strong heiress, the poor but hon
est boy, and their true love for each
other has been dedicated to tap dane
ing, frightened up and revived very
pleasantly by Isabel Jewell, Joan
Marsh, Ben Lyon, Eddie Nugent and
the several other people who perform
In Dancing Feet" the photoplay
current at the Belasco Theater.
Dancing Feet" is an unimportant
and unassuming trifie, but it's gay
and amusing and melodic. 1t starts
out bit slowly, it must be admitted,
and its pace Is not always swift.
There are times, In fact, when "DancA
ing Feet" begins to look suspiciously
like something from the early British
school, but on those occasions it only
begins to look bad. The dun spots
are followed up always by gay fun,
and they aren't numerous enough or
dull enough to detract from the en-
Joyment Of the piece.
There's one sequence, showing Vince
Barnett attempting to learn to dance
amidst the wild gyrations Of the GUS
toners In Q taxi dance hall, which Is
Just about worth the price Of adnis-
sion.
The plot of the musical is so OBJ
vious 1t probably won't stand another
repeating. but the poor boy and the
rich girl tap dance their way into
marriage license, II there Is any one
around who hasn't suspected it al
ready. The tale, however. Is ample
enough skeleton for the light humors
Of the cast.
Isabel Jewell. the young lady who
went to the guillotine In Tale of Two
Cities" and who lost a husband in
Ceiling Zero" doesn't have q role
here which demands the talent she
displayed in those two films, but what
she has 70 do she does excellently.
Ben Lyons ooeS his role with n.atness

Eddie Nusent, gayly and briS.ly. sno
jean March Is convincing as the lass
who was willing to give up her dol
lars for q nickel on every dance ticket.
All are very pleasant.
