Does your poultry flock return a good profit over the cost of feed It has been during the year? found that when laying hens are fed all the grain they wFII consume Leghorns and similar breeds eat from 70 to 80 pounds of grain a year. Breeds like the Plymouth Rock. Rhode Island Red, and Wyandotte eat from 80 to 95 pounds.. All breeds eat from two to three pounds of oyster sliells and about one pound of grit a year. The average farm hen lays less than 00 eggs a year, principally from March to June, the season of lowest prices. Yearly profits In egprs depend largely on production In fall and winter, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, Kutions for loylng stock should Incinde scratch grains, mashes, meat feed, green feed, mineral feed, grit, and drink.

Cy EDWARD W. PICKARD enforcement continued to he the dominant ques tion in Washington, und the day leaders in congress were especially vocal in the controversy. The most Important development of the week was the statement by Senator Wesley "L. Jones of Washington that during conferences with members of the Hoover crime commission he had been glad to learn that the commission is unanimous in agree ing that Its function Is to devise the best means possible for enforce ment of the Eighteenth amendment. Senator Jones averred that t lie commission holds that the wisdom or unwisdom of the amendment Is not involved In Its work. This was held to be a severe Mow to the liopes of the wets, though it is bard to see how the latter could have expected the commission to try to determine the practicability of prohibition. Senator Jones asserted that the dry phase of the commission's work should be completed by July 1 and warned that a clear and convincing showing of its need will have to be made befure funds for prolonging the prohibition Inquiry beyond that date are made available. As Jones Is prospective chairman of the senate finance committee, he will be in a position to supervise funds asked for the commission's work. The Washington senator contin ued : "I find that nn important re port has already been given to the President. It will be submitted to the congressional joint committee sought by the President as soon as created and ready for work. Other reports will be ready soon. 'All seem to view the Industrial alcohol situation as the most diffi cult one to solve properly, as well as one of the most Important phases In of prohibition enforcement. working this out the commission should shield no individual and no line of business." Senator Borah of Idaho repeat ed bis attacks on the present dry enforcement personnel, asserting that "practically open saloons" are to be found all over the land. When I say this," he said, "I do not mean simply New York or Chicago. I mean to state a condition which prevails throughout the country. I do not assume that you can Hut the catch every bootlegger. open flaunting, defiant, persistent disregard of the law, day after day and month after month, with no ef fort being made to stop It, calls for discussion." Mr. Borah sent one or two letters to President Hoover, and though their contents were not made pub- lie it was understood the senator offered proof of his assertions, and It was indicated that If the administration did not make use of the information given he would lay his evidence before congress. Then came F. Scott McBrlde, su perintendent of the league, with a statement In which he took Issue with Borah's charges. 'The prohibition department has been doing good work, but there are places where conditions can be bettered." McBrlde said. "These will be found and corrected. The Department of Justice has had some bad spots. Mr. Mitchell has been active in correcting these, hut the Job has yet to be completed. 'The most hopeful sign about the situation Is the fact that the legislative officers, as well as the administrative officers, including the President, are not sidestepping re sponsibility as has been true un der some former conditions and the fact that In the Capital and all over the country enforcement Is responding to official Insistence." Senator Brookhart of Iowa, the unrelenting foe of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, renewed his demands that President Hoover remove the secretary from his cabinet. pitOHir.lTION Anti-Saloo- COAST guardsmen the seeking to landing of liquor near Newport, R. I., opened fire on a rum running boat, the Black Duck, and killed three members of the crew. Their action wag upheld by their superiors, but the Incident serves to provide more ammunition for the enemies of the Eighteenth umemlmetit. In old 1'aiieuil hall, Boston, the Liberal Civic league held a mass meeting that sent to President Hoover a message asking a search-luInvestigation of the slaying by the coast guard, and after the meeting a mob attacked tlte coast guard station.

The of supply Intoxicating liquor seemed unlimited, though It Is admitted most of it was synthetic with bogus labels. "piIOUSA.VDS of Wnshlngtonlans and visitors to the National Capital attended the New Year's day reception held by President and Mrs. Hoover. Among the callers were the members of the cabinet, the handsomely garbed diplomatic corps, senators and representatives and mnny high officers of the army and navy. Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador, and I.ady Isabella were the first of the long line of diplomats to wish the Hoovers a happy New Year. The chief Justice and Mrs. Taft were missing from the White Heuse reception for the first time in years, owing to the death of Charles P. Taft. Over In Berlin President von Hindenburg for the first time held a similar reception. The diplomats there disputed over the matter of precedence, for their? deafr Is the ambassador from Russia and the of the United representatives States and other powers that have not recognized the Soviets naturally would not follow him. Finally It was agreed that the French ambassador, De Margerie, should lead the way and present to the president the good wishes of the diplomats. TF JOUETT SHOUSE, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, knows what he is talking about, we are not likely to have a new tariff act in the near future. He issued a statement In Lexington In which he said that either the coalition tariff measure, which attempts to carry out the promise of real tariff benefits for the farmers, will be enacted or there will be no tariff bill at all. "That latter," he said, "is the more probable outcome, which means that months and months of congressional sessions have been utterly wasted because of the effort to Jam through a tariff revision that had no reason in economy or Justifiable excuse at this time."

DltlXCE CAROL seemingly is still trying to gain the throne of Rumania, mid Italy is reported to have espoused his cause In a way that has aroused the anger of the Rumanians. Recently Preclosl, Italian minister to Bucharest, called at the Rumanian foreign office and Informed it In the name of the Italian government that Italy considered it necessary to regularize the dynasty succession to the Rumanian throne and that Prince Carol should Jpe recalled to Rumania and crowned king. The Rumanians do not dare to make effectual protest against this interference In their internal affairs for they fear they would be Isolated in their quarrel with Jugoslavia, which they and Italy regard as an enemy. rejoicing and THERE was ingreat China over the an- nouncement of the Nationalist government that extraterritoriality was to be summarily ended on January 1.

VERNAL As part of the 1930 program for the Uintah county farm bureau E. Peterson, county agent, is suggesting the formation of a wool pool on a scale which will permit the pool to become member of the Federal Wool, corporation, being organized under the sponsorship of the federal rarm board. The proposed federal regulations grant representation to a pool that will produce 600,000 pounds of wool, and Mr. Peterson says that much wool is yielded by flocks in Uintah county. VERNAL In his annual report to the district forester in Ogden, A. G. Nord, supervisor of the Ashley national forest, gives the number of buck deer killed on that forest during the recent open season as 104, a decrease ot 60 per cent as compared with 1928. When the deer hunting season opened last October no storms had oc curred in the summer ranges ot the deer and as a consequence few deer had migrated to the lower tall and winter ranges,' which regions comprise the principal hunting fields ot the forest.
