Excelsior Profitable as Nesting
Material:
Egg soilage studies imderway pt

iment station indicate that pofll-
trymen may prot'it by using excel-
slot as nesrting material, the Ma-
son county extonsion agent, z'e-
ports.
His information from Reed S.
Hanson. assistane poultryman at
the Experiment station, dds that
wood shavings, the traditionally
favorite nesting material, do not
always men:rare up to satisfactory
standards.
Shavings that contain some
cedar simw a tendency to stain
white-shelled eggs, Some shav-
ings are so fine that they con-
tain large quantities of almost
sawdust-like particles. These small
particles tend to stick to the eggs,
which means additional work in
cleaning the eggs before they are
marketed.
On the other hand, excelsior has
been a consistent top performer as
a nesting material. When poul-
trymen are having difficulty se-
curing the right quality of shav-
ings for nesting material they
will find a change to excelsior
profitable, the research man
added.

PANTORIUM 00EANERS & TAILOR00
During 1948 thousands of families who wanted the se-
curity provided by life insurance joined The Equitable
Society.
From every state in the Union--from big cities, from
country towns, and from farms- The Equitable wel.
corned a host of new members last year, widening it
family circle to a total of 4,150,000 men and women.
It is the thrifty action and self-reliance of this huge
family banded together for mutualprotection that makes
possible the record of accomplishment which The
Equitable brings to you in this annual report.
Of the $ 507,600,000 disbursed last year to policyholders
and beneficiaries, $70,086,000 was paid out as dividends;
and $108, 500,000 was paid in death benefits. Payments to
living policyholders were approximately 65 per cent of all
disbursements to The Equitable Family during the year--
indicating a continuiag trend of utilizing life insurance
as a means of providing living as well as death benefits.
