A careful estimate places U S fowls at nearly 400 million worth about 20 million dollars. Egg output reached about 1200 million dozen last year, yielding 15 million dollars and matching exports of breadstuffs. Despite this growth the U S still imports eggs as demand soars. Poultry shows and egg trades signal a booming season.
Alma C. Pickering outlines profitable poultry methods stressing capital light starts, cleanliness, and energy. Leghorns are recommended for egg production with emphasis on feed efficiency, space, and plumage quality for exhibition. The piece cites costs, profits, and regional market notes from American Agriculturist.
From Nash County a Rocky Mount Picaix report notes the resignation of County Commissioner R H Ricks after accepting Governor Carr’s penitentiary director post. W B Harper is named as his replacement amid partisan tensions. The item questions constitutional issues and cites local political maneuvering, urging proper credit to Populists.
A populist writer argues increasing currency would alleviate hoarding and revive circulation. He compares tax relief from money issued to a direct gift, explains how $510 million yearly would give about $50 per person, and cites historical New York clearings to show contraction and expansion cycles tied to currency policy. He contends outside money breaks deadlock, boosts prices, and spurs investment and employment.
The text argues two unvarying financial laws. When money volume shrinks, circulation stops and prices rise. increasing money restores circulation and prices bottom out before rising. It contends rising times lift all property and labor, benefiting owners and workers alike, and that these finance laws are self-acting with no exceptions.
