Hens Need Plenty
Of Feed to Keep
Up Egg Production
75W of Feed Goes for Body
Upkeep, ESQ for
Eggs

Gray Summit. Mo.-A hen can "get
W" on mighty little feed. Nature did
not plan for a hen to consume great
quantities of feed. But natures orig.
inal plan for egg production was only
Is to 20 eggs per year.
The weight Of the eggs laid In year
in natures plan was never more than
four pounds. and usually no more than
two pounds. Today we ask four or
tive-pound hen to produce from fifteen
to thirty pounds Of eggs year. The
difference In egg production obviously
must come from difference In guam
tity NJ feed eaten. A hen can't lay
many eggs on skinny ration.
1870 for Body Upkeep
Seventy.five percent vi all the feed
a hen eats is used to take care Of her
own body needs. WHAT'S left over goes
into making eggs. Birds that get only
small amounts of feed. or birds that
are fed incomplete and unbalanced "a.
lions do not get the extra rs percent
they need for keeping W egg produc-
tiOn. md consequently some Of the feed
they do eat Is wasted. The poultry.
mans problem Is to see thai each hen
gets the extra "a percent Feed in prop
erly balanced form so she can pay her
cOmplet' board bill by putting an egg
In the nest.
Production tests at the Purina FIX
detrimental Farm show that few extra
pounds Of feed per day to each hum
dred laying birds may easily mean the
difference between 30 percent produc.
tiOn and 60'tO 10 percent production

closely on the preponderance OF

Mr.. Mondell answered that there

that letters had been distributed

stated that he himself received
many post cards attacking the
selection of judges, and added
that considerable sums Of money

threatened to delay action on q

he needs to complete his case, now

RETAIN AUTHORITY
Finch replied that he felt that
even il the constitutional amend
ment proposed by the LewiS-Ran-
dolph resolution was adopted, Con-
greSs would still retain supreme
authority over the District and
could revoke or modify any re-
publican form Of government es-
tablished here.
Representative Michner (R0
Michigan, asked Finch if Congress
does not now have all the author
Iity which Section l Of the Lewis
Randolph resolution seeks to give
it under a constitutional amend

Supreme Court decisions, Congress
cannot delegate its powers as a
general legislature for the District.
NOT PREPARED.

Finch said he was not prepared
to argue that point but said hi
felt Supreme court decisions
would prevent Congress from estab

local self-government without

ton and onto the job of getting

TWO MAJOR BILLS
Only two major bills remained
on the agenda-wages and hours
and the $3,179, 900, 900 spend-and-
lend recovery bill. The Govern
ment reorganization bill and other
highly controversial measures ap-
peared doomed for the waste
basket.
The bolt for home already was
! under way, though Senators and
Representatives will be hustled
back here to vote on the wage
hour and relief-pump-p r min g
bills.
Congress seemed to be heading
for roaring, vituperative windup.
The program is for the Senate to
begin debating the relief bill Mon
day as the House goes to bat on
the wage-hour bill.
RELIEF BILL UP
A Senate Appropriations sub
committee, having completed
hearings on the relief bill yester-
day, will begin voting on amend
mentS tomorrow, with indications
the subcommittee will report its
bill to the full Appropriations
Committee Saturday. The full
committee was expected to give
its okay to the bill Saturday and
report 1t to the Senate late that
day so it may be called UP in the
Senate Monday.
While a batch Of comparatively
minor amendments will be offered
for the relief bill, two proposals
promised to result In spirited de-
bate. One Of these, by Senator
Russell CD Of Georgia, would
provide $200,000,00O for distribu-
ton to cotton, wheat and corn
producers as a token toward Civ
ing the farmers promised parity
prices.
The other amendment, also by
Russell, would stipulate that If
Congress passes the wage-hour bill
with a national standard for mini.
mum wages and maximum work
ing hours. pay on WPA and other
Federal projects must be at the
same rate in the South as In the
North.
WAGE DIFFERENTIAL
# the wage-hour bill carries q
differential between the North
and Dixie, the pay on WPA must
carry the same percentage Of diff
ference, Russell'S amendment
states. The wage-hour bill, as it
stands in the House, provides for
a national minimum wage Of IS
cents an hour and a maximum
work week Of A hours. After two
years the maximum hours would
be decreased to 40 and in three
years the minimum wage would
be increased to 40 cents.
Dixie's senators, contending
lower wages are paid by WPA in
the South because of the lower
cost Of living there, were solidly
demanding that this reasoning be
applied to the wage-hour bill.
Indications from appropriations
committeeman were the relief bin
will be reported to the Senate
without substantial earmarking
that would deprive President
Roosevelt Of the broad powers
voted him by the House to spend
and lend the money.
The House provision to give the
rural identification adminiStra-
ton an additional 500, 000. 900 Is
expected to be reduced by the
Senate committee.

YOUR INCOME
 TAX
DEPRECIATION ALLOWANCES

The amount to be recovered by depreciation is the cost Of the prop erty. if acquired b. purchase after February 28, 1913. If acquired by purchase on or before that date, the basis is the cost of the property. less depreciation sustained prior to March l, 1913, or the value on March l. 1913, whichever is greater
 The proper allowance for depre- ciation is that amount which should be set aside for the taxable year in accordance with a reasonably consistent plan (not necessarily a uniform rate), whereby the aggre- gate amount so set aside, plus the salvage value, will at the end of the useful life of the property equal the cost or other basis of the prop erty.
 The depreciation rate of a build ing is not based upon the number of years it will stand before being condemned and razed, but on the number of years it will remain hab- itable or serviceable for the purpose for which constructed.
 ! If the taxpayer builds new build ing, the period over which deprecia- tion may be claimed begins at the time the building is completed and capable of being used. Buildings under construction are rot subject 1 to depreciation allowance.
 1 If it is clearly shown that be- cause of economic or other condi- tions, property must be abandoned at date prior to the end of its normal useful life, so that depreci- ation deductions alone arc insuf- ficient to return the cost or other basis, reasonable deduction fol obsolescence may be allowed in ad- dition to depreciation. No deduc- ton for obsolescence is permitted because, in the opinion of the tax payer, the property may become ob- solete at some future date.
