(By Associated Press) . COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 31. Hens! whose rations contain animal protein lay a much larger number of eggs than those forced to do -without. This is the lesson -which is feeing taught to thousands of Ohio farmers as a part of the flock demonstration feeding campaign that is being conducted throuhg the county farm bureaus by extension -workers of the Ohio .State university. The campaign is being conducted on the demonstration plan of teaching The university workers arrange -with farmers already interested to try out modern chicken feeding methods' at home and then report their results to neighbors at scheduled meetings held

at the henhouse door of the demonstrators. More than 200 farmers came to the Wooster Experiment Station for the special leaders' training school that started the campaign and -were shown by D. C. Kennard, investigator, four pens of laying hens on -which he had been keeping check for three months. IKiring April he fed all the pens alike. They average a production of 86 eggs to the pen for the month. Then during May and June he fed one pen the recommended ration, consisting of a grain mixture that is three parts corn and a part each of -wheat and oats; the Ohio dry mash consisting of two parts ground corn and one part each of fine ground oats, standard middlings and high grade meal scraps. The scraps carry the protein, -which, according to scientists, doe3 most to make eggs. The mash -was kept before the flock at all times during May and June. I. .MAM Dm,I..-i.t-.-.

Egg production from this pen dropped from an average of 86 a week to 59, and when the experiment ended the yield had dropped to 23 per week. Pen number three, with an average of 97 eggs a week in April, was fed the grain ration and mash in April, minu3 only the meat scraps, and its average had dropped to 25 eggs by the end of June.

GOMPERS OBSERVES 59TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARRIVAL

Gompers, who has been called "the grand old man of American labor" by

Not so with the United States government. It has grown to its present size simply because nothing could stop or retard its growth and in spite of unbusinesslike methods that would have wrecked a private enterprise before it got fairly started. But now all this is being changed. At last government has come to be regarded as a business and an earnest effort is being made to put the conduct

of public affairs on a basis comparable

to that which earns dividends in the every day commercial world. More-

rover, the effort is settinsr results that

can be measured in dollars and cents. Reorganization of the administra

tive branch of the government was

promised and undertaken months ago, but it has been delayed by contro-

rversies between department and bu-

rreau heads. This would not seem to

augur well for the new- order of things

'and has discouraged some of the ard

ent advocates of up-to-date business

methods in government. However,

co-ordinate the sale of all surplus property, to provide for transfers between various governmental agencies, to weld the sales activities of the several departments into a federal business association and to Install practical business methods. A total of $90,000,000 was turned into the treasury during the fiscal year just closed from the sale of supplies and it is estimated that a sum almost as large will be realized during the current year. But this is only part of the story. The lighthouse service -of the department of commerce was about to spend $1,500,000 for lightnouse tenders. Mine

planters purchased during the war which were idle and practically vii'ue-

less were made over into tenders and the million and a half was saved. Dredges that would have cost $349,500 were required by the engineer branch of the army. Surplus vessels were transferred from the quartermaster corps. There are numerous other examples of similar economies that come under the head of commonsense business and the aggregate saving to Uncle Sam runs into large figures. Even more important, perhaps, is the moral effect on officials and employees who are seeing that slipshod, hit or miss methods are no longer in vogue in the federal service. In the matter of government purchasing the work of co-ordination has been likewise effective. Twenty-six separate and distinct purchasing agencies in the treasury department are

agencies in the department of griculture. In fact, there was need for reform in this line in all the departments except the navy where the buying has been done in a thoroughly coordinated way for some years. Real Estate Listed.

took away the egg building mash throughout May. During the last week of that month, when the pen was down to 20 eggs per week, he suddenly started feeding all recommended ingredients and during the first week in June they produced 71 eggs, an in

ous week's yield. The next week they i charged she was kept in the house laid 84, and the following week, 89, a I almost continuously, with insufficient

total increase of 345 per cent, traceable wholly to a change of feed. This is the plan of the demonstrations now being carried to all part? of the state. The recently arranged merger between the Federated Fruit Growers, Inc., and the North American Fruit Exchange should result in the establishment of facilities whereby any fruit grower may sell his products cooperatively in any market, in the opinion of R. B. Cruickshank, secretary of the State Horticultural society. Th mereer was filtered intt with

fiihe idea of marketing all fruit sold

in America entirely through one cooperative organization as is now the

case in California, where the citrus fruit crop is cleared largely through the California Fruit Growers' Exchange.

The Ohio Horticultural society to

which Mr. Cruickshank expresses his opinions in a letter, has aided in establishing local apple packing plants in a number of southern Ohio counties and in uniting these plants into an Ohio Fruit Growers association. This association now is clearing its early apples through the office of the

Just as previous to the installation

fot the budget system there was no co

tle in appropriating, there was little

hor no co-ordination in expending pub

lic funds. As an illustration the dis

position made of surplus property may be cited. Each bureau or holding agency was carying on this work in

tits own way and amazing as it may

seem it is actually true that at one place the government was selling at a sacrifice supplies that it was buying at current market prices at another. Chance for Sharp Practices. Thus it was possible for those who engage in sharp practices to buy something from one governmental agency

at a price below production cost and

turn around and sell it to another governmental agency at a substantial profit. Again, instances have been

"known in which one department would

purchase desks and other office furniture while another department had a surplus supply of the identical equipment that was going to wreck and ruin in storage. This sort of thing was stopped by the creation of a liquidation board to

agency had property that was not be

ing utilized while another rented less desirable and less suitable space. ! For example, army depots in Brooklyn and Boston afforded storage space that was not being used, while the government was paying $275,000 annually for places in which to store seized liquor in those cities. A bit of co-ordinatn and that snug little rental item was saved. Again, in Chicago it was found possible to cancel leases costing $200,000 every year by making available government-owned property that was standing idle, and substantial savings are being accomplished in almost every other large city in the country. This is just what the real estate department of any large corporation would be doing and there is nothing new or startling about it except that the government hasn't been doing it for the last 40 or 50 years.
