EGG FERTILITY is
EASILY INCREASED
Over-Use of Males Is Not
Good Judgment.
BY DR.. W. C. Thompson, Professor of
lege of Agriculture. -WNU Service.

Poultry Husbandry, 'p Rev jersey Col
lege of Agriculture Service.
While poultryman cannot always
be sure that every egg selected from
his breeding stock. will hatch, he
can achieve greater economy in
chick production by taking steps to
reduce the. number of infertile eggs
produced by his breeding flock.
There are several factors which
result in infertility of Matching eggs.
One is an inherently selective ten
dency on the part Of certain male
birds. Poultrymen should watch
breeding males to make sure they
are active and non-selective as
breeders.
Over-uee of males is another rea-
son why some eggs are infertile.
Sometimes too many hens are al
lowed per male or else the breeding
males are not given rest period
during spring. One way to avoid
this is to remove the breeding males
for two days after they have been
running with the hens for three or
four days. Another way is to have
alternate lots of breeding males, u.s.
ing one lot for week and resting
the other during that week., but this
method cannot be used where. pedi-
gree breeding is being done.
When the weather is cold male
birds stand around inactive and USE
less. This cam be avoided by re-
moving choice males from the
breeding pens in the late afternoon,
keeping them in protected quarters
for the night and returning them
to the pens the following day.
When these suggestions and other
schemes which may occur to the
experienced poultry breeder are
properly worked into the manage
ment of the breeding flock, consid-
cradle increase in the percentage of
egg fertility can be brought about.
Fertility is probably affected only
in small part by inherited charac-
.teristics. One of the most important
steps is keeping the breeding males
healthy, strong, vigorous, well fed
and not over-used during the spring
season. Allow only .one male for
every 10 hens at the most. This often
involves having more males than
one may have planned for, but an
extra male bird or so may more
than make up for the cost by the
increased fertility obtained.

MOVING DAY
OCTOBER FIRST
Telephone and Light Plant Swamp
ed With Orders For
Changes

1t was moving day the first of
October. The day, heralded through
out the nation as moving day,
found local residents switching in
a seemingly endless cycle from one
house to another. The day when
Dad Is burdened down with a num-
Der Of back breaking tasks, the
baby Is underfoot, and mother is
desperately trying to sort out that
which Is not wanted.
Last Saturday local employees of
the telephone company and the
Water, Light and Power plant were
swamped with orders for changes
of address. Meters, telephones, and
installations all had to be changed.
Here's a review Of what happen
ed in moving day circles: Mr.. and
Mrs. Swan Thornbloom moved
from the house at 603 Pine to oc-
cupy the home recently vacated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer Anderson. In
to their new home Mr.. and Mrs.
Bill Pollock moved at the corner Of
End and Willow Streets. From their
Birch Lake cottage Mrs. H. Ward
and Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph moved
into their home in this city. The A..
w. Johnson's are now occupying a
home at 1872 Ash Street, moved in
from one Of the Hedin cottages
And from the lake side, too, came
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence McKinnon,
recently married, into a 4th street
apartment. John d. McKursie and
family now occupy one of the Jeppa
Larson houses.
Moved out Of town over the
week end were Mr.. and Mrs. A. r.
Kinney. for several years residents
here. Employed with the Great
Northern road Mr.. Kinney found
his work handler with their home
in st. Cloud.
To continue the roundelay within
the city: Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Steege
moved their household goods from
the Episcopal Church property on
Main Street to the Unger bungalow
on Birch, and Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Rose now occupy the Mccormick
home on Main Street. Into the
home they vacated went Mr.. and
Mrs. Elrov Potter and family. Mr..
and Mrs. Harold Nelson have NOV
ed into the house just vacated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollock. Martin Ath-
man and family now reside where
Harry Neal formerly lived.
And so it goes.

close enough to require no handi- caps However should a member of team leave the city for any extended time or withdraw from the tournament his place will be filled, if possible, by another bowler In such case there may be such a difference between the average of the two players that it may be necessary to determine difference between the two averages and if so the team will then be given that difference as a handicap or allow others a spot as the case may be.
 Bowlers entering tournament will go in at averages established by previous tournaments except those with an average over 185 will not be entered over that figure and those with an average between ITS and 185 will be dropped three points, providing the same does not lower the average below 175. Other aver ages will go in as they stand.
 Any member of a team not present to bowl on scheduled nights unless called away from town suddenly, or on account of sickness, will lose 10 points per game from established average.
 Tournament winner will be de- cided by the highest total pinfall.
