present annual payroll amounts
to nearly $4,000, OOO, 900.
The committee has criticized
oldline government departments

Treasury-for attempting to
perpetuate warborn personnel
initiation. An alltime peak In
total government employees was
reached in Aug, 1945, when
payrollS totaled 3,649,000.
Under the ceiling clause writ
ten into the Federal Pay Act Of
1916 the overall total Of govern
ment employees would be grad
ually reduced to 1,611,000 at the
close of the current fiscal year.
Senator Byrd has pointed out
the government was
"bloated beyond any power Of
description" with 1,411 main
bureaus, in addition to the re-
gular departments.

POULTRY
BY E. r. HALBROOK
Dept. of Poultry Industry
Montana State College

Since the first poultry school
for hatchery flock selectors has
just been held at Montana
State college, this is an appro-
pirate time to review some OF
the available Information in
regard to the baby chick in
dustry in the state.
In 1914 the U. S. Department
OF Agriculture reports that
slightly over four and one-half
million chickens were raised in
Montana. This does not include
the number purchased or start
ed but lost. OF the chicks
started, slightly less than one
and one-h alf million were
Matched within the state, and
the balance were shipped in.
OF the number Matched within
the state, it is estimated at
least one-half the Matching
eggs used were shipped in from
other states. In other words,
less than 20 per cent of the
Matching eggs supplying Mon
Cd1ld C1A1CkS are dC pleSeI1C pro-
duced within the state.
These figures reported by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
show the need for more poultry
breeding flocks and more
hatcheries within the state to
supply local demands for baby
chicks. The primary purpose Of
the poultry school was to quail
ify men to select poultry breed
ing flocks supplying Matching
eggs to Montana hatcherieS.
