and that a large percentage of
this number have so handled
their poultry that excellent re
turns have been secured. He
finds that work with poultry is
probably the most popular club
project "conducted by the Exten
sion Service in his county. Hg
states that this is largely due to
the fact that it does not require)
irmcli eanital to start with and:

at the same time nets quick re

For the year 1922 the 103 poul-i
trv club members started with
a "total of 1.138 chickens. The;
now have on hand 2,229 birds.
The value of the increase in thir

the value of eggs and chickens
sold for breeding amounts to

The government began by

demand to enumerate all absent

IRELAND CONSIDERS
OF RAILROADS
(By Associated Press)
Dublin, Dec. 1. The commis
sion appointed by the Irish Gov
ernment to inquire into the
working of Irish railways has
just reported, with one dissent
ing vote, in favor of the nation
alization of the railways by the
State. It is recommended, how
ever, that the management be not
in the hands of a State Minister,
but by a National Railway Board
representing various interest,
including labor.
The present market value oi:
the entire railway stock in Ire
land is estimated at between
twenty five and thirty millions
pounds sterling which, it is sug
gested, should be acquired by a
tribunal that would issue bonds
at reasonable interest and re
deemable from a sinking fund in
installlments .evey ten years.
The project of nationalization,
however, has been broadly criti
cized; it is not popular.
The Irish railways are at pres
ent being run under difficulties.
During the war fares were rais
ed 100 per cent although the
increase in England was only 75
per cent. This has now been re
duced to 50 per cent, while the
Irish 100 per cent
