PAGE SX FIGURES DISPEL A SMITH MYTH Election statistics show that he has been a local leader only. He has never become a State leader because he has never gained the confidence of the State at large. Without the indispensable support of the Tammany organization in New York he would have remained a small factor in the politics of his State--a mere local politician. The same statistics manifest that the last two of Smith's elections are far from proving that he has made any gain in the confidence of the State at large. On the con-- trary, these last two elections prove that he has lost a considera-- ble share of the support he hbad previously received in the districts outside of Tammany control. In 1922 he lost rural New York State, but he carried thirteen of the fifty--seven up--State Counties. In the presidential election year of 1924 he captured but one up--State Returns indicate the Governor HAS BEEN LOSING GROUND Election statistics mark the fact that the great political popularity of Governor Smith in his own State is a Democratic.fiction. He has gained public support as the State executive only in New York City, and he has invariably failed to gain it outside of that city.

Give the pullets every chance pos sible to make a nice profit for you this fall and coming winter. In handling young pullets remem-- ber that they are easily frightened: handle them as gently as you can and for the first few weeks, while they are in the new quarters, move slowly about the house. Talk to the birds as you move through their pens. It is well to have the p-- ment as, for example, the mash g:l' and drinking fountains, should as nearly alike as possible® to that used on the range. Care must be taken not to close the pullets in too suddenly, If you do, you may set them back two or three weeks. It is advisable to move the pullets to their permanent quarters a week or two previous to their coming into egy production. Moving them after they have started laying is almost certain to mean an upset and likely a partial of complete molt. All pul-- lets should be off the range into the ¥winter quarters sometime before the jst cf October. Start the pullets off by giving them a good egg mash. It has cost you considerable to raise them so you cannot afford to take _ any ckances with some cheap mash just because it is cheap in price. A good mash, though it may cost more, is the cheapest feed in the long run. If you have never fe«? a real good egz mash this is a good time to start.
