Over Three Hundred Attend
Farmers Institute Luncheon

residents were given valuable in
formation.
At the sectional meeting held
this morning in the poultry man
agement division Prof. J. NJ. Moore,
Michigan State College stressed
poultry as a business. The slo
gan given by Prof Moore was $50
chickens or 300" IF you have
80 chickens they are adequate for
family use but IL you depend on
the chickens for your income you
should have at least 800. To care
for 800 chickens you should have
good houses that are we'll insulated.
well ventilated, dry and easily &C
cessible."
Prof. Moore emphasized the fact
that eggs should be given the
proper care to enable them to be
sold for higher prices. IF the
price Of eggs through proper care,
could be raised one cent on the
dozen it would increase the farm
income in Michigan a million dol
lars stated Prof. Moore.
In the dairy management diyis-
ion Prof. j. S. Hayes, Michigan
State College said that question
naire submitted to 1000 dairymen
showed that they preferred home
mixed rations. containing soy bean
oil mixture for the feeding Of their
cows.
He told of three plans for the
feeding, best quality alfalfa hay,
average quality alfalfa hay, and
poor quality alfalfa hay. The ay-
erage quality alfalfa hay contains
the soy bean oil mixture.
. II was pointed out that grind
ing either soy or Gull" beans very
coarsely increases palatability
over fine grinding and does not
decrease digestibility. Soy beans
cracked" or coarsely ground
will be more palatable and will not
become rancid so quickly, It was
stated. Rancidity is due TO the
II pounds Of oil contained in each
l0C pounds of Soys. Soys con-
tain 5 TO 10 pounds more actual
digestible nutrients per hundred
weight than any other protein
concentrate, those at the institute
were told.
Prof. Hayes concluded his talk by
pointing out that medium TO coarse
grinding of grain is preferable TO
fine and that chopping hay into the
barn at harvest does not alter its
feed value

tors did not wish to. fight the house
Republicans who Overwhelmingly

organization.
The senate committee struck out
house amendments which provided
a four year term for the agricul'
ture commissioner selected by the
state board OF Agriculture, and the
provisions for his removal on
grounds OF malfeasance, misfear
sance or nonfeasance. Language
in the bill also was changed to
make Il read "a commissioner shall
be employed" instead of appoint
ed. TO comply with an attorney

could be vested in the board, such
as an appointment. but that 1t could
be assigned duty. such as employ
,ment of a commissioner.

her alliance with Germany and
Italy if she wishes to improve her
relations with the United States.
AS long as Japan remains men,
