While there is and ha$ been for several years a Federal building program, this has been confined to the larger towns and cities of the country. Such a movement as proposed by Representative Hare would prove economical to the Gevemment and would result in permanent and better post-offic' quarters. It would not be neces sary to erect expensive building in these smaller towns, but • standardized post-office buildinr which would easily be enlarged, : necessary, could be erected at very small cost. There are approximately 6,2' third-class post offices betwec the salary grades of $1,600 ar $2,300. It is believed that adequa' post-office buildings and equir ment could be erected in thes towns at a cost of $4,000 to $10.- 000, or an average cost of $7,000 The total cost of such a project would be approximately $40,000,- 000. R is estimated that the cost of years than at the beginning. The. construction of a great number of post-office buildings would necessarily increase the manufacture of building, materials, the manufacture of post-office equipment, and would result in the employment of hundreds or thousands of laborers throughout the country, decreasing to a very great extent the unemployment situation. In the small cities and towns the cost of real estate would be a very small item, as in many cases civic organizations and patriotic groups would furnish to the Government, without cost, or for very little cost, such real estate as was necessary for this commendable purpose. X Housing Pullets Important Job Changing pullets from growing range to laying house is one of the most important steps in maintain ing a profitable laying flock, * ac cording to County Agent D. Austin Shelley. “When pullets are brought off the range and placed in a strange house there is danger”, says the county agent, “that they may go into a moult and delay production for several months when egg prices are usually favorable. To prevent this several precautions should be taken.” The birds should be handled carefully. A catch coop may be used during the day or the birds may be moved easily after they go to roost. If they have to be 2hanged from a growing mash to x laying mash, the change should xe made gradually by mixing the two masheS. “For a short time at least feed ers of the same type to which the oirds are accustomed should be provided. These feeders should not have reels for the first few days because hens flying quickly i from the reels frighten the other ; hens and keep them in a nervous condition,” the county agent says.
