If this flock of 100 hens would
produce an average of one egg every

hen the poultryman would realize
$3.50 or approximately $1.0O pro-
fit per hen. Besides, he is selling

The above figures are based on

Eggs Are Needed for
Defense Work Says
County Agt. Carson

One of the vital foods needed in
defense work is eggs, and farmers
who go into this project on a prac-
teal basis should find it a profitable
undertaking and at the same time
help their country in the time OF
need.
The biggest cost in egg produc-
ton is feed, but farmers growing
corn should be able to reduce feed
costs to approximately one-half.
Some feed companies put out a
protein supplement which a be
mixed with 100 pounds of cracked
corn to make the egg mash. This

to it than that. One very good
indication that people are becom-

number OF people who drink milk

Hidden Values in Milk
While milk satisfies hunger, It
does not take away the desire
for other necessary foods.
Few foods may be served as

which they are delivered or
with such little difficulty in
their preparation for the table.

Milk fat contains many more
fatty acids than any other fat

Will Explain New Method for Fighting Price
 Climbs

Y WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has indicated that he hopes to announce to the country in a speech around Labor Day the newest plan for combating the up- ward spiral of living costs.
 He told a press conference that he would probably make the speech and would also send a message to Con- gress at the same time on the tick fish imitation problem.
 The President spoke of sacrifices which the American people must ex- pect, and when asked by reporters about Price Administrator Leon Heildersons prediction that some food costs would go up as high as 30 percent, the President said he thought that was perfectly possible and that was a point in the whole problem now under consideration.
 The President has scheduled two additional major radio addresses. one for September 3 to be directed to the youth of the entire world, and the other on August 31, which will be a dedication of the new Navy medical center at Bethesda, Maryland.

The W ashingtOn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyo

WASHINGTON = On March l3, this column warned that in addi- tion to aluminium shortage No. l, the nation might face aluminium shortage No. 2 through inability to get bauxite (the raw material for aluminum) from Dutch Guiana because of submarine sinkings.
 It hasn't leaked out yet, but on Aug. l, WIPES Arthur Bunker ap- peared before WIPE Materials meeting and yelled to high heaven because the aluminium industry was not getting enough bauxite. Too many ships are being sunk.
 It also never leaked out, but one year previously Arthur Bunker had flatly opposed any other source of bauxite except Dutch Guiana When WIPES Bill Elliott warned him of shipping shortage in the Caribbean, Bunker replied
 "As long as my brother can ship sugar from Cuba, I'm going to ship bauxite from Dutch Guiana
 Arthur Bunker, former vice-presi- dent of Lehman Brothers, long has been stamped as good friend Of the Aluminium Company; as favor ing its process of making aluminium from high grade Guiana bauxite rather than from low grade baux- ite or aluminium clays which are plentiful inside the U.S.A.
 For weeks, competitors of the Aluminium Company camped in WIPE offices trying to persuade Bunker, William Bait. and 2. Jeff fries of General Electric that the United States should not put all its aluminium eggs in one basket the high grade bauxite imported from abroad, but should also use the German, French, Russian lime soda process by which aluminium is smelted from low grade ores.
