Mr. Frischknecht was led to make this statement because ot the records made available to .him from poultrymen in various parts of the state who have cooperated with the extension service in the keeping of poultry accounts during the past year. "When some poultrymen are able to get an average production of 221.' eggs per bird during the year, whtle others secure an average of less than of time, there is something wrong,'' 100 eggs per bird in the same length said Mr. Frischknecht. In some flocks the production is low because inferior chicks were purchased. In others tt may be due to faulty feeding, poor housing, insufficient culling throughout the year, poor sanitation and disease control, or to poor care and management in general. Mr. Frischknecht advises that the egg reduction per hen in the state must be increased if a large percentage of poultrymen are to remain ln the business. The average production in Utah for December last year was only 8.8 eggs per bird, therefore, if a poultryman has a flock of 500 birds, they must lay 4480 eggs or an average of 144.5 eggs each day this month to equal the state average production for December of last year.

Talmage of Salt Lake, who £01· the last two years has assisted in the editing of The Midvale Journal, has left this work because of being forced to devote all his time to his new duties as a. court reporter in the Third district court.
