In some houses spillage from water pails and poor surface drainage are factors along with leaky roofs. In addition to these causes the expoultry flock itself voids and hales enough moisture to be a factor m the problem. If dropping for uncleaiied boards are two weeks, experiments have shown that for each 190 birds there would he approximately three to four barrels of water left in the house during this period. While it is impossible to keep poultry houses absolutely dry, flock owners can help by cleaning off the dropping boards at least every other day. Frequent changing of the litter is another chore generally justified by the results obtained in more efficient production. Keeping windows open to provide fresh air aids in keeping down damp-- ; ness, and artificial heat is needed in many instances.

When November and December figures are released it is virtually certain that they will show a continuation of the upward trend. busy, and we have just passed a Christmas season which may have been the biggest holiday are the victims of an business spurt of all time, even population as well as increased ediciency in industry. Including the height of the The consumption goods industries boom. ever-increasin- g on As we enter the new year, we find Industry at its highest point since 1929, national income having risen to an estimated 60 billions of dollars or more, the largest in five or six years, and a general relieving of the tension which holds men's nerves during an extended stretch of hard times. For one thing, in the past year the nation was not temporarily hoaxed by business flurries which seem to indicate that recovery had Bet in, only to subside again and leave the populace disappointed. The movement toward normalcy has been pretty steady, and seems to have at last spread over the base of the entire economic structure until it has touched every part Of it. Only time will tell whether, as Borne close observers believe, the revival is inflationary and beyond the measure created by demand. At least there are three major problems still confronting us: There were in September, according to the National Industrial Conference board, nearly 9,000,000 persons still out of work. Production Indexes Rise. The deficit of the federal government is increasing at the rate of three or four billions a year. Under normal weather conditions if we should enjoy them during 1937 we will be faced with the agricultural surplus resulting from the cultivation of 30 or 40 million acres more than we need. The production index of the Federal Reserve board for October shows that industry has reached a level nearly equal to the average for 1920, making the necessary allowance for normal seasonal trends. It docs not, however, take into the fact that we have a population greater by 9,000,000 today than we had in 1923. If allowance is made for this, the production index is about 92 per cent of the level of 1928. But in 1932 and 1933 it was only half that of 1923. It said that the heavy industries, which make "capital goods," are far behind, but even they are picking up. Steel, the barometer of these Industries, climbed from 41 per cent of production capacity in June, 1935, to 70 per cent capacity for June, 1936, or only about 12 per cent under the boom figure. Absorbing the Unemployed. The "semi - durable" Industries which make goods requiring some considerable investment by the consumer led the upswing. Among these are the automobile industry which, it is estimated, produced 4,500,000 cars, more than in any year except 1929, and the electric refrigerator industry, whose sales e new reached peak. Furniture, household appliances and others followed the trend. The consumption goods industries, producers of leather, foods, textiles, etc., are experiencing whnt might be called almost boom times. Employment is not without hope. There are today at least 7,000.000 less unemployed than there were at the low point of March, 1933.

Wallaces' Farmer. Edward Molyneux, style authorpredicts a riot of color for spring. In monotones as in prints, color is the watchword. A wide range of blue tones is being accented in spring silks. s Misty blues and strong are new, and the middle tones of blue also register. Purple is newly accented. The capucine range is an important one, highlighting glowing yellow orange and pumpkin tones. Henna and horsechestnut rank high, with the former striking a new note for evening. A hint of s overlays the copper range as it is interpreted for resort and spring 1937. Brownish gold is another important tone to watch. Beige and other neutral tones are expected to prove important, as a contrast to the vivid color ranges. The red range ranks high. Cherry mauve red, cerise, pink and pale mauve red are leadity, when a flock, especially in the sum- mer months, falls below 30 percent production it is time to cull the entire nock. However, the price received for eggs, the priee of feed, and the feed cost per dor.en eggs will determine the time and intensity of culling. Whether it be the method, hopper feeding of grain and mash, or hopper feeding of mash and hand feeding of prain, the im portant tiling is the total pounds of feed eaten each day. My stand- ard is not less than 30 pounds of total feed a day to each 100 Reds or Rocks, and slightly less for Leghorns.

I SILKS FOR SPRING STRESS HIGH COLOR CHANTILLY DRESS Culling Laying Flock Protect the Poultry House t as so not elaborately many are, they still have details of lace and net trimmings, of tiny edgings of val lace to appeal to the lady. There are all manner of negligees and hostess gowns. The satin ones, lavish with lace, are easily the most popular this season. Bed jackets of all shapes and types ar& more fascinating than ever. Some are made in cape design and tie loosely in front. The model shown i.i the center inset is of allover lace with wide satin border front. In a way this charming little might be classed with the so called lingerie accessories which Paris designers are advocating this season. Such, for instance, is the "bib" to be worn over night dresses. It is a grand gift item for a convalescent or invalid. It's a frilly lace front piece to slip on at a moment's notice over the "nightie." The one pictured in the upper inset is done in circular ruffles of lace with ribbon ties about the throat. It is said that it is becoming quite a fad to make your own lingerie accessories.
