Heavy Fowl that Lays White Eggs The United Stales Department of Jtgrieulture is very proud of a new howl which cne of the experts of its Bureau of Animal industry has produced by nine years of careful breed Ing. This expert is Henry M. Lamon, after whom the bird has been called "Lamona." The great advant' gcs which tliis fowl haa over other breeds is that it combines the heavy qualities of the Plymouth Pock with the white ggs of the white leghorn. In the Journal of Heredity (Menoaha, Wis.) Mr. Lainon describes in deSail the long process of breeding by which he has developed this remarkable bird. He says* "At the present time au of our general purpose breeds of chickens are tayers of brown eggs. At the same time some ox the best markets of the aotmtry show a preference for whiteshelled eggs and pay an increased, price for them, which is an important consideration to the man who is producing market eggs on a commercial scale." But the white leghorns, which labile white eggs, are not heavy enough xbr food purposes and, therefore, do not recommend themselves to the farmer who needs fowls for eating as* well as for laying. Mr. Lamon started with a stocky aHver-gray Dorking hen and a white Plymouth Rock rooster. The chickens from their eggs he bred to a single comb white leghorn. In the sue Via oalenfox] flip UCddlV C ^ iiciauvtld Itv I3V4VVWU ?-??V hiekens that most nearly approached the standard he had set, interBreeding them until he reached the ideal. In his article he tells the details of the process step by step, and shows pictures of the hens and roosters which participated. There were other qualities which Hr. Lamon sought, besides flesh and white eggs. These were yeliow skin, yellow legs, red comb and four-toed feet. These complicated the process sard the breeder is not yet perfectly yatisfied. But the new Lamona breeds true, which is the main thing. o URGENT CALL FOR AID. 9y the Florence Crittenton Training School of Charleston. Charleston, S. C., July 8. 1921.

Instructions i; were given by letter to all member' ij growers and assistance was given t: where needed. .n Potatoes were ?equired to be ma-1 chine graded, and growers who did b not have enough potatoes to warrant buying graders individually were aided in securing graders jointly. Strict' p grading was required for the market g was falling, and on a falling market 1; grading is doubly important. |s Farmers who did not work through j, the organization received $2.00 per (_ barrel for their potatoes, tl.us paying' o a big penalty for their failure to real-' h ize in time the value of organized ef-1 fort. o | 666 cures Bilous Fever. o L Assistance for Ex-Service Men. j d l?
