HOW STATE CAN DOUBLE
' ITS POULTRY PRODUCTION
Congress, realizing the Importance
of poultry as a source of meat supply,
has appropriated $148,000. to be used
in sending emergency poultry work
ers Into the different states. As Mis
souri ranks high as a poultry state,
it is one of the four states that get
two of these workers. Ralph L. Ma
son, one of these poultry experts, has
already arrived and will work with
the poultry department here. Tho
other worker has not yet been ap
pointed but he will be stationed at
Springfield. He will also work in con
nection with the poultry department
here.
This campaign, to double the poul
try production in Missouri next year,
is now being launched. Poultry ral
lies will be held in every county.
Posters, advertising the dates 01 me
rallies, have been sent to the county
seats for display. The County Coun
cil of Defense and the Farm Bureau
are to arrange for the meeting place
and do further advertising.
Roles Suggested.
Because of the high price of feed,
many people have reduced the size
of their flocks. It Is ithe aim of the
present campaign to J restore confi
dence in the poultry business and to
Increase production. At the rallies
the people will be asked to agree to
carry out certain plans:
First Set only the best eggs. These
eees should be from pure bred poul
try, from hens rather than pullets, of
to those who agree to carry out these
plans.
A table has been prepared .by the
poultry department showing how the
farm hen can relieve the meat short
age and how the poultry production
in Missouri can bo doubled.
the rest to the Council of Defease.
The object of the presentation is to
arouse patriotic feeling.
The pageant has already been given
in Marshall, Carrollton, Slater and
Columbia, and dates have been made
for Carthage, Liberty, Joplln, Versail
les Greenfield, ML Vernon and Cape
Girardeau. In each place home talent
is used. There is a possibility that
the pageant may be part of the Capi-

A reasonable increase of food from
this source for 1918 would be 423,810,
000 pounds, which is an Increase of
170 per cent. This food would take
the place of 423,810 1,000-pound steers.
Each poultry raiser is urged to use
more care with his poultry, and by
means of a slight increase in the num
ber of birds on the farm and with
practically no extra expense, at least
to double the poultry production of
Missouri next year.

Requests for the "Progress of Lib

the state. Mrs. B. F. Busch, chairman
of the Women's Committee of the Mis
souri Division of the Council of Na

to the pageant production in other
states, but no action has yet been taken.

the registrar says, and the total per-
good shape and size, and not more centage in war work is probably more
than ten days old.
Second Finish hatching all chick
ens before June 1 so that the pullets
will be winter layers.
Third Starve the young chicks for
the first 48 hours so that the yolk
will be well digested, thus preventing
many Intestinal troubles.
Fourth Feed milk or meat scrap to
chicks so that they will grow faster
and be more healthy.
Fifth Dispose of all surplus cock
erels before they weigh over 2J4
pounds. The reason for this is that
early gains are the most profitable,
and when the cockerels are disposed
of. the pullets get more chance to de
velop. Sixth Fight lice and mites all the
time.
Seventh Sell only infertile eggs
after Juno 1, because fertile eggs spoil
very easily in hot weather. In Mis
souri alone, the spoiling of eggs last
year resulted In a loss of J5.000.000.
Eighth Cull hens between August
15 and November 1, for at this time

iest. Ninth Feed milk or meat scrap to
laying hens to Increase production.

TIENTSIN,. Nov. 15. Two hundred
million dollars is the estimated amount
of the actual property loss from the
ereat floods which have swept over
North China within -the last two
months and finally engulfed this city
in an Inland sea which threatens to
remain at a standstill and work furth

already expended several millions of
dollars in repairing damages, ine
Peking-Hankow Railway Is now able
to handle through business between
the two cities by the use of a ferry
across the Puto River. The railway
connecting Tientsin and Shanghai suf
fered less than the Hankow railway,
but the first thirty miles of the line
south of Tientsin is entirely under
water and there is no likelihood that
through traffic can be resumed for
months.
Tientsin, with Its one million Inhabi
tants, a great majority of whom are
coolies dependent upon export trade
for employment, faces a terlrble crisis.
In addition to the resident population
this city has also become the refugee
center for a great population which
fled here from the inundated rural sec
tions of North China. More than 50,
000 refugees from outside points have
already applied for assistance.
The American Red Cross has appro
priated $50,000 for immediate relief
work and the American troops in
Tientsin, under command of Colonel
Sigerfoos, are in charge of a model
camp which will accommodate 5,000
