SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

The Farm By WILLIAM The fact that the artificial lighting of poultry houses does actually increase the output of eggs in winter is now clearly evident. Commercial poultrymen who breed winter layers have proven this true,. and many progressive farmers, owning large flocks also have .installed electric lights, with benefit. The new practice does not necessarily mean increased output for the year, but it is an established fact that the lights do have a definite influence on the normal egg production of the winter laying stock during their season, and when fresh eggs bring the best prices. Different systems of using the lights are employed. The birds on the poultry farms of the Missouri university are given artificial light two and onehalf hours daily before dawn. The attendant who turns on the lights immediately fills all water pans. And this is important, because the first thing a hen does on jumping from the perch is to drink, an"j if there is no water for her, she does not become active until it has been supplied. Scene professional poultrymen turn on the 'lights at sundown, and off at nine o'clock. In other instances the j lights are used both night and morn ing, but in either case have been found beneficial to the egg supply. Castor Bean Culture. The Australian government is enj couaging tne cultivation or tne castor i bean, in the belief that Ihe suitability or soil and climate to the culture of the plant should insure the 4,000 tons of beans the commonwealth uses, and also rrovide a surplus for export. The value of the bean has been ranging at from $95 to $145 per ton, depending on supply and analysis. Australian beans are rich in oil, containing from 45 to 52 per cent. The use of castor oil as a lubricant for airplanes is largely responsible for the advance in price in recent years. Castor beans are grown in several states and many cargoes are imported and pressed in American oil mills. This really ornamental plant would flourish in Wayne county. Will Welcome Inquiry. With reference to the fact that Representative Jones of Texas, has introduced a resolution in congress, demanding investigation of complaints that the International Harvester company is to advance some of its prices, that concern, pays: 'We will welcome any inquiry, satisfied that the only result will be to convince the public of the fairness of our prices. They are now, and always have been based solely on the cost j of production. Our current prices are j practically the same as for the last; ten months." A Tariff Wall Vital. Representatives of the live stock and dairy interests now in Washington, have declared that: "The decline in prices of farm products have been more responsible for the closing of! fact6ries, and -of the spread of unem-! ployment in the industries than anl ; other cause." I Regardless of the logic of this! statement, it is very unlikely that I the emergency tariff bill will be passed at this session. The bill will be -talked to death in the senate, it is feared, and already is being over loaded with riders, most of which have no bearing on the subject of the legis-: lation the farmers are demanding.' If not passed and duly signed by President Wilson before March 4 the bill will be as dead as John Barleycorn. If vetoed by the president, as is considered probable, it is not likely that the bill could be passed over the veto, or that time would remain to put the matter again squarely before this congress. Various interests are opposing the bill in the interest of resciprocity in trade, claiming that a tarriff on so many commodities would tend to restrict our exports, which is not at all unlikely, in numerous instances. The special session of congress following Mr. Harding's inauguration will have to frame an entirely new bill, or at least start, all over again, if the tariff bill now up fails of passage.

Their latest report, that for the week ending January 22, gives the average price as $14.69 per hundred pounds, for "carcasses." The report in consideration dates back to the week ending December 4, when the average price was $14.22 per hundred. During the week of December 11, the average price slumped to $13.65, the lowest of the eight-week period. The highest weekly price during the same period was $14.98, this being for the week ending January 15. Now then, here is the milk in the cocoanut. The entire range, that is to say the high and law of all the actual prices charged were $9.75 and $22 per hundred pounds. This gives an idea of the baBis on which the weekly prices were "averaged", also the variation in grades of the carcasses sold since Dec. 4.

ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, gives out the following statement: "The price of the Fordson Tractor has been reduced from $790.00 to $625.00, effective immediately.

''This price change has been made possible through lower costs of materials and the fact that we are now located in our new Tractor Plant with greatly increased economic manufacturing facilities in immediate connection with our foundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces, where iron is poured directly from the ore, giving us maximum efficiency with the power to reduce cost of production, and down comes the price in line

with our policy to market our products at the lowest possible figure without in any way affecting our high standard of qual ty. "We are particularly pleased in being ab!2 to bring about this big reduction in price at this time because the farmer needs all the help we can give him, and this big cut in price will be the means of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practically every one of them, not to mention industrial and commercial concerns which likewise have benefited through its use and are already realizing, to a much greater extent, its value as a power and hauling unit. But particularly has the FORDSON Tractor proved a most valuable factor in the saving of farm labor, at the same time increasing the per acre crop yield, as well as making possible a utilization of previously uncultivated land, to say nothing of removing no end of drudgery. "There is no question that the use of machine power on the farm is the greatest advancement made in the development of agriculture, not only in money saving and money making results, as well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and consequently our desire to place the FORDSON within the reacli of all. "THERE IS NO CHANGE IN the PRESENT FORD CAR and TRUCK PRICES, which are already at the lowest possible f gure, and now with rock-bottom reached on the tractor price a further reduction in price of either the car, truck or tractor is out of the question; in fact, the big pri?e cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production, and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume of new business is not obtained. Therefore, present prices of Ford products cannot be guaranteed against possible increases." Ask for the book, "The Fordson at Work,", which will be supplied free of cost. Let us demonstrate the value of the FORDSON on your farm, in your factory, lumber yard, coal yard, or in any general haul ng or power work you have to do, and let us have your order for a FORDSON.
