Each 100 feeders to hens need three five-foavoid overcrowding while eating and each feeder should have a reel to keep the chickens out of the feed. Poultrymen might well consider keeping the best of the hens rather than to sell them. Meat prices are low and hens will lay 80 per cent as many eggs during their second year as producers as they did when pullets. Very few birds are worth keeping for layers the third year. Poultrymen will be saved money and trouble if they cull out poorly developed pullets. It costs too much money to feed laying rations to pullets that will not lay eggs until next hens will spring. Good make better use of the feed. Laying houses should be repaired, cleaned, and provisions made for ventilation. Diseases spread rapidly in dirty houses, and colds attack birds which are subjected to drafts or overheating. Vaccinations for fowl pox should be postponed if the pullets are ready to go in the laying house as the treatment is likely to delay production. Pullets which appear healthy and vigorous do not need treatment for internal Treatments parasites. which kill parasites have at least a temporary detrimental effect upon the birds and production will be delayed. It always is a good practice to remove ailing birds from the flock as soon as they are detected. Getting back to feeds for the layers, tests show, good results when birds are fed mash concentrate and grains in separate self feeders. The concentrate may vary from 24 to 32 per cent of protein; less concentrate is consumed when the protein content is high. Wheat, corn, and oats can be used for grain and they should be separated in the feeders. free-lunc- ot German-manufacture- ness emphasizes Germanys anxiety over the United Kingdoms redoubled export drive. Congress all-arou- two-year-o- ld two-year-o- ld Last winter Texas Rep. Wright Patman offered congress a measure to tax chain stores out of existence. Its gist: To levy graded assessments from $50 per store on small chains to $1,000 per store on large chains, each store tax to be multiplied by the number of states in which the chain operated. Sample: A chain operating in 48 states plus the District of Columbia would pay $49,000 per store annually on each store over 500. Though boasting 73 Mr. Patmans bill failed. Also defeated was a New York state chain store tax, which signified that chains had more friends than their foes had expected. But an apparently dying issue was revived as congress adjourned, for Mr, Patman announced his bill would be introduced in January, 1939, as House Resolution No. 1. Battle lines since formed presage a bitter contest next month, as n chains and agitators review their cases: Supporting Mr. Patman is a national trend (now questionable) which caused 21 state legislatures to enact chain store taxes. Another state, Colorado, last month rejected a referendum to kill a similar levy. Having won passage of hisRobinson-Patma- n act, also an n measure, Mr. Patman bases his new attack on familiar charges that chains (1) force independent merchants out of business; (2) cause low farm prices; (3) take money out of the community. U. S. census figures show a decreasing number of chain stores and more independents, while federal trade commission statistics credit chains with distributing $8,000,000,000 in goods at an average 10 per cent saving to consumers.

The importance of Mr. ONeals statement is that Farm Bureau opinion could be a mighty force against AAA abolition agitation. (2) At Winnipeg, AAA Adminis- trator R. M. Evans spiked rumors of drastic wheat acreage curtailment next year by pointing out that U. S. farmers could not be expected to accept such curtailment without similar action by other exporting nations. ;Hoping that government subsidized exports need be only a temporary measure, Mr. Evans nevertheless defended it as a justified step to give the U. S. a fair share of the export market. (3) At Washington, F. R. Wilcox of AAA announced sale of 5,000,000 additional bushels of wheat to the United Kingdom, adding to the bushels he had already sold. Having committed itself to sell bushels by next July, the U. S. was already well past the half- Advantage Is Found in Having the Same Breeds A dairyman just starting with purebreds may feel that since aU his neighbors have one breed of cattle, he should get another breed so as to have a monopoly in the business of selling breeding stock. There is no question about the monopoly, says the Missouri Farmer, but there would probably be little business to monopolize. It is difficult for an isolated small breeder to dispose of his surplus stock to advantage, while if there are many breeders with the same breed, buyers are attracted to the locality because of the better chance to get the desired animals, from one, or more of the several breeders. There are other advantages to a dairyman in having the same breed as his neighbor, such as the possibility of exchanging bulls, and of owning good purebred bulls These advantages are obtained by those having grade herds as well as by those with purebreds. Then there is also the opportunity for taking advantage of special breed sales of surplus stock, and, lastly, the advantage of bringing the community together in- other endeavors which usually result where there is but one breed. - It might be added that these same thoughts are applicable to other kinds of live stock and poultry. nt anti-chai- Pro-Chai- n. way mark and had begun negotiations for additional sales to China and Mexico. Though such subsidized exports will help reduce the U.

Far from denying it, Japan has taken new hitches in her economic belt and settled down for a struggle which may begin shortly after January 1. Having apmade supplementary army-nav- y propriations of $1,634,400,000, Japan allifaces a probable ance forcing her to desperate measures to protect what gains she has already made in China. Having penetrated deep into the vast Shansi province, Jap troops are confronted with guerrilla attacks which in 10 days cost 6,000 lives. who Generalissimo Chiang is already getting supplies from Russia, promises the guerrilla warfare will continue. That Japanese are at a disadvantage fighting so far from their base of operations is evidenced by Chinese recapture of several key towns near Canton. Two clashes with Russia form the basis for a new war scare. The first concerns Japanese fishing concessions in Russian waters. Though Russia refuses to renew the concessions, which lapse January 1, Tokyo threatens to continue fishing even though an armed patrol is needed. The second dispute centers on Sakhalin island, where the Japs charge Russia is seeking to expel Nipponese oil workers. For her part, Moscow is demanding Japanese payment for the Russian interest in the Chinese eastern railroad. Russ-Chine- TRUSSES Instruments. Hospital Supplies. Manufacturers of Abdominal Supporters.

Seeking to liberate Japan and China from dependency on foreign markets, finance and raw materials, Tokyo has virtually dictated what Great Britain and the U. S. can henceforth expect in the way of trading privileges. Shrugging its shoulders over still another treaty broken in 1938, the U. S. state department has called home Nelson T. Johnson, ambassador to China, to see what can be done about it. Since Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy has also been called home from London, it is thought the U. S. may solicit British support for a unified protest against Japans economic activity in China. Probable result: nothing. nine-pow- COMPANY N P. O.
