Many farms have old style closed-lip
poultry houses, with poor light and ven
tilation, or old sheds and other build
ings of little use for other purposes,
that can be remodeled nr built over
with little difficulty into satisfactory
poultry houses for the (lock this win
ter. The si/.o and tlio shape of tli"
buildings makes little difference, says
tho United States Department of Agri
culture, but the essential factors are
dryness, good ventilation, freedom from
drafts, plenty of sunshine, and room
enough to allow tlio blrdib to move
about with freedom and comfort.
If new houses lire to be built nr old
buildings converted into poultry houses,
locate them on high or stopilig ground
if possible, but always on dry and well-
drained soil. The anion lit of floor spnet
to la 1 allowed each fowl varies home
what with conditions, but on a farm
or where tlie birds can be oat of doors
nearly every (lav the department has
found that about 2 1-2 square feet of
door space per bird in flocks of 20 is
enough. In a village or city or in
climate where there is a good deal of
snow, making it necessary to confine
the birds closely, I or 5 square feet per
bird is needed. The interior of the
house should lm simple, convenient,
and easy to cloan.
The converted poultry house may or
may not have a floor. If the house is
on dry, sandy soil a dirt floor is usu
ally quite satisfactory although often
more damp than board or cement floors.
Fresh gravel and snail must bo added
from time to time to keep them sani
tary. If board floors aro used, mako
them tight nail smooth so as to make
thorn dry an (lousy to clean. If possi
ble, build board floors 8 or 10 Inchon
from tho ground to allow a circulation
of air to prevent rats from’ hoarding
under them. Cement floors, especially
I for Inrgo houses, nre quite satisfactory,
as they koep rats out and last muali
longer tha nbard floors. They must bo
kept well covered with litter, howovor.
department workers say, to mako thorn
warm and comfortablo for tho flock.

Should Take Local Paper
' It pays any jian with a family to
take his local paper for the sake of
the advertisements, if nothing more.
If business men fail to give farmers
a chance to rend advertisements in the
local paper, they are tdind to their own
interests.
“You never trade with me,“ said a
business man to a prosperous farmer.
“You have never invited me to your
vduCo'of business, mid I never go where
T am not Invited, beeause I might not
lie welcomed,” was his reply.—Jones

This is n hint to the non-subscriber.
Tho Herald-Journal will appreciate it
very much if its readers will patronize
the business men, who advertise in this
paper. T11 doing so you are helping ttie

Journal. And The Herlau-Journnl is

Central of Georgia Railway Reviews
Transportation Situation
During the pre-war period railroad facilities were not improved from year to
year because the credit of the carriers was bad, due to the refusal of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to permit rate increases. When the Government took over
the property in the spring of 1918 the machine was not sufficient to handle conveni- ’
ently or economically the extraordinary volume of business that the country was then
doing. A
During Federal control, which lasted until March 1, 1920, but little was made
to remedy this situation. There was no extension of railroad mileage, only inad-
quate purchase of equipment, no improvement of shop facilities or terminals; while
wage increases were out of all proportion to rate increases.
At the end of Federal control the carriers were less able to operate successfully
than at the beginning, but during the past three years marked progress has been
made. N
At the present time American railways are rendering to American business more
efficient service than at any time in the history of the country.
The railways are accomplishing this achievement at costs to the traveling and
shipping public, lower than prevail anywhere else in the world.
In order to fit themselves to render efficient service, the railways are expending
during 1923 for equipment, additions and improvements, the enormous sum of one
and one-half billions of dollars $(1,500,-000,000.00). Railway management is jus
tified in these immense expenditures by faith in the American public, by belief in the
spirit of the square deal, that will accord the railways the same treatment given to
other industries. •
The public should be willing to give railway management an opportunity to func
tion without further restrictive regulation or hampering legislation. Fair-minded
people generally seem willing to permit a trial of the present Transportation Act for
a reasonable length of time, under conditions. Those who hold this yiew can assis^. , ]
in stabalizing business by cmmunicatingto their Senators and Representatives in '
Congress, their sentiments.
The need of American business is not so much for cheaper transportation, aSi for,
more adequate and efficient transportation. The public can better afford to pay the
current rates than to suffer the inevitable losses that follow a period of car shortage
—and car shortages will certainly come at regular intervals unless the railways are
permitted to earn sufficient money to provide adequate equipment and facilities that
will prevent these conditions. <-
Freight rates are not out of line with commodity prices. In January of 1923,
freight rates were 50 per cent higher than in 1913, while the Average wholesale price
of all commodities was 57 per cent higher than in 1913.
Rates are not too high for the service rendered. The greatly increased costs of
material, supplies .taxes, coal, and especially labor—which the railways must pay—
necessitate the present level of rates. The railways are in no condition to withstand
reductions in their revenues at present.. In 1920 there was a deficit of net railway
income. In 1921 the rate of return was 1.23 per cent; in 1922 it was 4.45 per cent, a
striking contrast with the rate of return of other industries, particularly in view of
the fact that during the war period when other industries were storing up comfortable
surpluses, railway return was limited to the average made for the three years prior to
July 1, 1917. „
Despite widespread belief to the contrary, there is no “guarantee” of railway
earnings in the Transportation Act.The so-called “guarantee” is really a limitation
to 5 3-4 per cent upon the Interstate Commerce Commission’s valuataion of property
devoted to transportation. There is no provision for the making up of deficits; on
the'other hand, a railroad that loses money one year has no opportunity to recoup its
losses from the operations of a prosperous year, but must, under the Transportation
Act, turn over to the government, half of its earnings above 5 3-4 per cent.
The railways are reducing freight rates as rapidly as prudent judgment permits.
In 1922 freight rates were reduced 13 per cent, while commodity prices were increas
ing. The railways were the only large American industry that reduced to the con
sumer the cost of its product.
The future development of transportation hinges upion one thing—the ability of
the railways to secure sufficient capital to keep pace with the business demands of
the country. Capital cannot be coerced—it can only be attracted. To attract it, in
vestors must be assured of a reasonable rate of return, fair treatment, and freedom
fi«am confiscation. ' ‘ ^
The people of the United States have the choice between two alternatives—to
give railway management a chance to render service under the competitive condi
tions surrounding private ownei’ship; or, to turn the roads over to government owne-
ship, with political and partisan conditions as factors in managing the country’s
greatest industry.
