WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. = This is our quarterly report on the pro- gross of our favorite test-tube vil- lage, the town of Greenbelt which was set up by Rex Tugwell to show the country the way to the orderly life.
 More particularly this deals with the business cooperative set up with an advance by a foundation estab- lished by the late Edward A. Fil- enc, a Boston merchant endowed with the liberalist tendencies of a Minnesotan.
 If you will recall from our pre- vious documents on the subject. Greenbelt is the community just outside Washington where ulti- mately some $50 families will share low cost rents, govern the city according to the dictates of their own conscience, and decide whether or not dogs shall be al- lowed.
 To date only about third of the dwellings are occupied, others being filled as rapidly as carpenters and plumbers install sash boards and plumbing.
 FIRST, A GROCERY
 The community began it's coopera- tive venture by opening a food store (grocery and meat shop. It is a self-help job and it's operation was assisted in the early days by an official of large grocery chain who knew how to do these things An ordinary merchant. no doubt would enjoy the exclusive right to sell food to the 5000 or more resi- dents who ultimately will take over the place. Such is the concession the residents are giving to theii food store.

Half of Earlier Gains Is

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 G.N.S0.
An unfavorable reaction on Wall

Marking Broody Hens

AS broody hens are not profitable
in the laying house, and as broodi-
ness is hereditary, commercial
breeders discard all hens that show
any decided tendency in this direc-
ton. Their method of identifying
these broody hens is quite simple.
They use colored celluloid leg
bands, a different color for each
month. Whenever a hen goes
broody, she is banded with a ring
showing the color used for the cur
rent month. Thus it is easy, not
only to learn the number of times a
hen has quit laying, but also to tell
just when these gaps in production
have occurred. This supplies much
needed information when the poul-
tryman starts to Gull his flock and
to select breeding stock for the fol-
lowing year.

Edgar Allan Poe Born in Boarding
House in Boston, Tradition Tells

Edgar Allan Poe never possessed
a home in the true and accurate
meaning of that word. Tradition
tells that he was born in a boarding
house in Boston, observes a Wash
ington Star editorial writer. His
boyhood was spent under alien
roofs in Richmond and in England.
Neither at the University of Virginia
nor at West Point had he anything
better than quarters" Casual
shelter was his lot during his wan
behring's between 1880 and 1886, after
which latter date he was habitually
dependent guest of his aunt, the
kindly Mrs. Maria GLENN, whose
beautiful daughter he married at
the apex of one of the most
poignantly sorrowful romances in
the history of literature-a story to
rank with the tragedies of Abelard
and Heloise and Dante and Bea-
trice.
Mrs. GLENN made the young
couple as comfortable as she could
for three years in Amty street in
Baltimore. The exact address is
matter of controversy, but the
approximate location has been as
certained.
But Poe himself probably would
not care. His cottage at Fordham
in New York keeps his name alive

By G. T. Klein, Extension Poultry Husband,
man. MASSACHUSETTS, sIaIS State College
Dubbing of the comb and wattles
of chickens is a very easy way OF
preventing injury from freezing.
Dubbing is not a bloody and dam
gerous operation. The comb and
wattles are removed with pair of
tin ships with rounding points when
the birds are about OF 10 weeks
old.
There is usually so little bleeding
that no precautions to stop it are
necessary. Perchloride of iron is a
common remedy for stopping flow
of blood on birds that give trouble.
Dubbed birds should be yarded by
themselves, but other extra care is
seldom necessary.
The dubbed birds are not par
ticularly attractive, but this is no
disadvantage for the production
breeder interested in eggs and high
matches of salable chicks. The
dubbed males stand up better in the
breeding pen and are not affected by
cold weather.
With leghorns there is an advan-
tage in clubbing both males and fe-
males. With heavy breeds this is
not so necessary with the hens.
In sections where clubbing is ex-
!ensively followed there is feeling
that dubbed birds are more valua-
BILE as breeders, not only the first
year but the second and third years.
This seems entirely reasonable
since the comb is a secondary sex
organ and is generously supplied
with blood. When this supply OF
blood is not needed by the comb it
probably goes to the reproductive
organs.

Preserving Fence Posts

The United States Forest service
has developed a simple, cheap "tire
tube" treatment to prevent or re-
tard decay in fence posts. Zinc
chloride is the chemical used as a
preservative. The butts of fresh cut
posts are peeled for a foot or more.
Then a section of an old inner tube is
closely fitted over each peeled Sec
ton and tied with strong cord. The
zinc solution is poured into the open
ends of the tube and left until it has
been absorbed. It displaces the sap.
