FEDERAL MAN IN TOWN U. L Upson Investigates Con ditions and Praises Hos pital Yards Redaction of Ration ' t Causes Apprehension WASHINGTON. May 20. An nouncement that the bread ration is to be reduced on June IS has caused grave apprehension throughout,. Ger many. An offlal dispatch today from Switzerland says that even' the governmental press has adopted a tone no less pessimistic than that of the Socialist papers, which for?ee a great diminishing of the phys'cal and general force which helps in sup porting the 'hardships of the fourtn year of the war.

Upson, formerly of Grants Pass, one of the foremost au'.borities on poultry raising; has arrived in the city fh. the course of a tour of the state as federal poultry huabamlman. He is making an Investigation 6f all the large poultry centers of the val ley, and when questioned with regard to the industry, stated that he had found the most thriving r-oultry areas In the northern part of the Willamette valley- where the cMmatic conditions, the production of feed and the proximity of the Portland market are favoring eleKnt3. An other area of profitable po'Jltrv rais ing in the vicinity of Cottage Grove, where the growers are going at the business in a business-like way. When -asked as to his opto.oi with regard t the Salem district he de clared there was none more favor able In Oregon and with the nse of proper methods the fowl and egg business shoud be one of the lead ing industries. One of 4hc most striking instances Is foupd at the Oregon state hospital farm where Manager Wilcox has several thous- Land fowls growing and laying accord ing to the rules of advanced enlture. Figures from this farm shw that the average cost per fowl a year Ij $3.16, while the average egg production Is about 204 for each fowl. At the average price of about, 40 cents a dozen, this gives a net riofit of $3.77 over the cost of production. Mr. Upson went on to say with re gard to the losses arising f'.rm Im proper methods: J"It Is costing the farmerj of Ore gon about $300,000 a year because of faulty methods of producing and handling the present egg sipp!r, A large part of the loss is cccaeioned by the production of fertile gg3 dur ing the warm months.
