A Tribute To General Kennedy Editor, McCormick Messenger, Sir: Thousands will be grieved to learn of the death of Brigadier | General James M. Kennedy, U. S. j •Army, retired, which occurred at | Letterman General- Hospital, San | Francisco, California, on the 15th instant. He spent most of his ser- vicf' in San Francisco, being atjfche Letterman Hospital from the it was founded in 1899 until ^07 and at intervals since then. ^ i General Kennedy was a graduate j of the College of Physicians and; Burgeons, at Baltimore, and estab lished a high record in the medical profession, especially in the field of surgery, during his long service in the Army. He was known as the Army’s foremost Surgeon. He was also an able Executive Officer. During the World War General Kennedy established an 18,000-bod hospital at Hoboken, N. J., and sup erintended sanitation aboard all transports. He was awarded the tfavy Distinguished Service Cross. In the administration of his vast and difficult assignments he was never lacking in that kindly hu mane touch which endeared him to all whose privilege it was to know him. . He was loved and: respected by the humblest Private of his command as well as by his commis sioned associates. They all knew that regardless of rank or position they would get a square deal tem pered with sympathetic under standing from “The General.’’ It was my pleasure to have known General Kennedy during his boyhood days in South Carolina, in service in the Philippine Islands, California and Washington, D. C. I can state with knowledge that his many years of absence from his old home never caused him to lose interest in his friends there, white and colored. I do not think he was ever happier than when talking of his boyhood friends in South Caro lina. 4 His achievements in his chosen profession entitle him to rank as one of the South’s most brilliant sons.

Compared with last year pros pects are for about 21 per cent more Cotton; 14 per cent more Tobacco; and 3 per cent more Corn. Sweet Potatoes and Hay are about 19 per cent below last year’s ex cellent outturn but are still 20 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively, above the 5-Year average produc tion. Estimate for Peaches, Apples, Pears, Grapes and Pecans are about equal to the 5-Year average of these crops. CORN: The reported probable yield of 16 bushels,per acre indi cates a crop of 23,888,000 bushels, which compare^ with 23,321,000 bushels last year and the 5-Year average of 20,780,000 bushels. The TOBACCO estimate of 94,- 430,000 pounds is the same as a month ago and compares with a crop of 82,992,000 pounds last year and an average production of 66,- 469,000 pounds for the 5-Year per iod 1924-1928. The probable yield per acre is reported at 710 pounds per acre. The condition of 70 per cent for SWEET POTATOES indicates a crop of about 4,680,000 bushels, which is about 19 per cent below the record crop of last year but is still almost 20 per cent above the average production for the years 1924-1928.

The Grand Master made a brief address in which he extolled Un cle Sam for his munificence in' ^ _ giving Denver such a splendid Rains during Se P” j s t ruc ture on the historic site of' the old East High School. He ex pressed the hope that the nevr building would be a blessing spirit ually as well as ecnomically. Denver has been called the coun try’s “Second Capital” because no' other city, with the exception of Washington, has so many federal offices. X Picking Poultry ; Sorqe poultrymen now use the* “slaclpr&qald” method of pickings poultry. This is a modification of scald picking. After killing and bleeding the birds, keep them in w r ater at a temperature of about. 125 degrees Fahrenheit for . frojn one-fourth to one minute, depend ing on the class of poultry, Tlje feathers are then picked instead of being , rubbed off as with scalded poultry. After plucking, the car casses should be dried thoroughly. They are then handled in the sanie way as dry-picked poultry. This method, when "properly done, re^ suits in carcasses which look like dry-picked poultry, though thr slack-scald method permits more' rapid picking and the more com plete removal of^pinfeathers. Feeding For Eggs The poultry flock needs a variety of inorganic materials for growth and egg oroduction, say poultry specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Those required*in the largest quantities are calcium and phosphorus. Sodium, chlorine*. ah o u >7*' ^ and potassium are needed to a less- and 45; Soybeans, 75 and 73 Cow-i *\ . _ . . , , . ^ co j tt i 4. « er extent.
