CORVALLIS POULTRY
PEN HAS MADE VERY
UNUSUAL RECORD
Most of the poultry raisers are
familiar with the Hanson poultry
farm located near Corvallis. There
has recently appeared from the pen,
or typewriter of Prof. O. J. Mcintosh,
connected with the department of
Industrial Journalism . at the state
College a story of a recent transaction
made by Mr. Hanson, as well as some
thing of a description of his unusual
ly successful poultry business. Prof.
Mcintosh's story reads as follows:
The progressive Japanese govern
ment has Just bought in Oregon for
$2200 three pens of pedigreed White
Leghorn poultry. Included in the
lot Is the new world's champion
egg-laying hen. Hanson's Prido No. 3,
which has hung up a record of 344
eggs In one year. This Is at the rate
of one egg on every week day and on
31 Sundays. Champion hens pay no
attention to union hours.
"Hanson's Pride," the hen's name
missed laying just 21 days, equiva
lent to a three week's vacation. The
new champion weighs four pounds
and her average egg two ounces, so
that in a year she produces 43 pounds
of eggs nearly eleven times her own
weight.
A 20 Year Chnnj;e
Less than 20 years ago. the 300 -egg
hen was believed by experts to be
an Impossibility. For eight years a
fowl known to fame as the "Maine
Experimental Station Hen" was -considered
the world's greatest egg lay
er, but In the most fertile year it pro
duced only 251 eggs. Then Hen No.
C-543 of the Oregon State experi
ment station took first honors with
291, a record which stood until 1914.
when Lady MjcDuff, of the same
strain, astounded the poultry world
by "breaking 300."
Many poultry men would not be
lieve It, declaring tho record was
either a fake or an error. Lady Mc
Duff's record was 302 eggs, official
ly attested by the Oregon Agrtcuff
ttural college. She was the product
of ten yoars of selective breeding
by James Dryden, of the Oregon
Experiment station. With one ex
ception, since then all the champion
egg-layers have been products of
what Is known as the "Dryden 10
year breeding."
In 1917, Mollic Wellington, a Light!
Brahma owned by Lee R. Welling-1
ton, of Los Angeles county, Cal if or-'
nta, achieved the world's champion-'
snip oy producing aa eggs in one
year.
Mol lie's record was broken in 1921
by Lady Jewel, an Oregon fowl which
laid 336 eggs that year. This rec
ord was bettered by two and now
Hanson's Pride's mother, and now
Hanson's Pride No. 3 holds the cham
pionship with the unprecedented
score of 344. She Is of the famous
300 -egg strain started by Dryden.
Japan Interested
The sale to the Japanese govern
ment was made by J. A. Hanson of
Corvallis, Oregon. The lot comprised
five cockerels at $115 each, $575 for
the pen; 25 pullets at $40 each,
$1000 for the pen, and another pen
of 26 pullets at $25 each. This Is
an average of $50 each for the 65
birds. Some of these pullets came
from three generations of 300 -egg
hens.
"When the fact of the 300-eggs-il
year hen was admitted by a Bkeptlcat
poultry world," said Mr. Hanson in
discussing the Bale, "the value of the
fact was persistently questioned. The
hen was said to be only a freak
without significance as to the egg
ability of her descendants. 'You will
never see a 300-egg hen that is the
000
of Vale. Is among 1200 likely heirs
to a vast fortune left by a brother
of President' James Buchanan. The
property consists of $860,000,000 cash
ana v& estates, it is saia.
According to the story told Spencer,
the ancestors of Buchanan gained
control of holdings on Manhattan
Island. New York. Buchanan's will
called for the establishment of
trust fund to remain intact for
years, during which period interest
nas accumuiatea. ine win was openea
in May, 1930, 99 years . after Bu
chanans' death.
L. D. Buchanan of Texas advised
Spencer that he had been working
on a settlement of the, estate for
seven years. He could not receive his
share until all heirs hud been located.
Spencer's mother was a Buchanan
and direct descendant.
It is said each of the 1200 heirs
will receive about 9600,000. Several
of them live in Baker and Harney
counties.'
New Garage
F. S. Smith who lives on the new
market road north of Pleasant Grove
has taken advantage of the splendid
weather the last weeks and built a
new garage on his place, setting It
flush with the property line on the
improved road. '
Weekend
Miss Esther Feldman, who teaches
the Iowa school, spent the weekend
at the home of her aunt in the
Cove. 1
HI of Flu
Mrs. Grant W. Wilde of the Hot
Lake district has been confined to
her bed since last Friday with lnflu
enzt but Is now able to be around
again. Her mother, Mrs. J. W. Bax
ter of Union spent Sunday at the
Wilde home.
Have New Club
A group of girls at Island City have
organized a new 4-H cooking club
with Mrs. John Wortman as tho local
leader. . There are eight girls in this
group who have chosen the name
"Golden Glow Cooking Club." For
their officers they have selected Miss
Margaret Alderman as president, Miss
Mary Jane Chadwlck as vice presi
dent and Miss Lydla Hutchinson as
secretary-treasurer.
Women, . Too
The women of the valley are espe
cially urged to make their plans to
spend three days next week at the
Economic Conference. The home eco
nomics section of the (Conference pro
gram has been given very careful
attention and the speakers and top
ics are prominent and timely. Miss
Lucy A. Case, nutrition expert, and
so well known here 1b to speak sev
eral times on Tuesday. Miss A. Grace
Johnson, head of the home admin
istration department of the school of
home economise at the state college
will be at the conference on Wed
nesday and Thursday.
Plan Bail .
The Rebekah' lodge of" Summer
vllle is already making plans for a
big masquerade ball which they are
to give at their hall on the evening
of March 17. . This sounds - like St.
Patrick's to us.
- o
Aid Is Postponed
The ' regular meeting of the Allcol
Ladles' Aid society -which - wbb to
descendant of a 300-egg hen,' was
the challenge. j
"And for many generations this,
was so. The flrBt 300-egg hen, so far ,
as official records go, was developed
by James Dryden at tho Oregon State
college. For ten years Professor
Dryden had been working to build
up a stralnn of foundation layers.
Then slowly other 300-egg hens began
to appear at Jhis station and at
others.
. Good Stock Secured
"It was from the station strain
that I got my foundation stock. And
now, after years of breeding work
with this foundation strain, I have
doveloped hundreds of heavy layers,
not merely 300-a-year fowls but somo
of them running as high as 337 eggs
a year. At last Hanson's Pride No.
3 has laid 344 egga in 305 consecu
tive days. And these aro no longer
freaks, if they ever were.
"Almost 10 per cent of these flocks
are in the 300 class. Of the ten birds
picked for the 102B-'29 egg laying
contest at Storrs, Connecticut, seven
of them, without alternate or substi
tute, laid more than 300 eggs each
the lowest of the seven was 302
and the highest 320.
"The pen at Storrs lacked only
11 eggs of averaging 300 eggs for the
ten hens of the pen. They laid as
recorded by the contest officials, a
total of 2089 eggs, having begun
vigorously the next day after arriv
ing at the end of a 3000-mile Journey.
And they were all, without exception,
daughters and granddaughters of
300-egg hens, both on their dam and
sire sides, for five or more genera
tions." Of course, the hens at Storrs were
all "trap-nested," as are all tho rams
at the Hanson farm. Poultry men
refer to laying hens as dams. A trap
nest is one In which the hen auto
matically locks herself when she en
ters to lay. Thoro can be no doubt
about the antecedents of the egg.
After Good Mock
Tho Japanese govornmont, with
characteristic efficiency, Is engaged
In building up the somewhat dim
inutive strains of tho native poul
try. For several years the Mikado's
agents havo been purchasing founda
tion stock In this and other coun
tries. Tho recent purchase was the
fourth made from Mr. Hanson. It
was negotiated in person by Mr.
Tirohlco Kondo, director of the Hlgo
poultry experiment station of tho
ministry of agriculture and forestry,
assisted by Mr. Mnssaichl Hada. agent
of the Nasowa Export and Import
company of New York.
Each of the 65 birds sent to Japan
carries the key to Its identity on a
metal leg-band. They were crated
for shipment, underwritten against
loss In transit and put aboard the
Arabia Maru for the long trip to
Japan. Carefully selected Japanese
caretakers will feed and look after
the fowls until they reach their new
home at Hlgo. Previous shipments
arrived without the loss of a bird and
ready for early and heavy egg-laying.
Truck, tiain and ocean trips
do not disturb true-blooded cham
pion layers.
Besides Japan. Hanson has shipped
his poultry to New Zealand, Spain.
Sweden, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela.
Austria, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Den
mark, Chile, China, Russia, England
and Trinidad, Port of Spain. Ship
ments of birds from this farm have
gone to all the great continents but
Africa. And heavy shipments of eggs
for hatching have i;oue to many
other countries.
have been held next Thursday has
been postponed on account of the
economic comerence. ,

Wallowa Co.
Also Enjoys
Mild Weather
Spring-like weather conditions have
prevailed over the section, around
Wallowa during the past week, ac
cording to our corresoondent, G. C.
Meek. Following tho continued cold
wavo of several weeks duration,
many are led to believe that tho
backbone of the winter has been
broken and that an early Bprlng will
no doubt be experienced here this
season. Reports from farmers and
stockmen indicate that not nearly so
much feed Is being eaten by the live
stock since the weather has been
warmer. However, whero ground
feeding Is being done. It la qulto dif
ficult to prevent a considerable waste
of hay. From the start of winter,
uuui tne recent warm weatner an
feed lots were covered with severnl
inches of dry snow which when
packed down made an excellent place
for feeding and being dry, all feed
was readily cleaned up. Thero has
been considerable melting of the
snow In the lower parts of the com
munity and on south slopes during
the past week. In some Instances
the snow has melted away sufficient
ly to allow some of the larger stock
to graze on bunchgrass, Wherever
tne snow is gone much new grass
can also be secured by the stock.
On pastures which were not heavily
stocked lost fall the new grass made
a nice stare.
Investigation at a few places over
the community by farmers reveals
the fact that much of the frost Is
being drawn from the soil at this
time. The greater part of the water
appears to be soaking into the soil
as tho snow melts. Thawing has not
been sufficient to help some of the
wells and springs In the higher parts
of tho community. Some of the
farmers there say that they can
water only a part of their stock yet,
but have hopes that If the weather
remains mild for another week that
plenty of water will be available
Whiskey creek and somo of tho other
small streams in this end of tho val
ley which havo been practically dry
for tho past Bix weeks aro flushing
up onough to start running a small
stream again at this time.
Road conditions aro at ill said to
be fairly good In most parts of tho
community. While the snow has
practically all melted off the graveled
roads In tho valley section,- thero Is
still excellent sledding on most of
the roads In the hill sections. Somo
cars aro also still In uso by residents
of tho hills. Hauling of wood, fence
material, etc., is occupying tho at
tention of a number of the farmors
of this section at this time.
MILLIONS ENIOY
UNUSUAL THRILL
IN RARE COFFEE
Patented Roasting Process
Gives. Hills Bros. .Coffee -t,
Distinctive Flavor
By a radically different process
of flavor-control, Hills Bros, have
given their rare blend of coffco a
flavor such as no other coffee has.
"A little at a time" is tho basis
of this patented process Con
trolled Roasting. A constant
stream of green coffee is introduced
into the roasters in automatically
measured lots of about three
pounds, and passes through in a
steady flow, roasting a littlo at a
time. The heat is automatically
controlled so any variation in the
roast is absolutely prevented.
Such uniformity of the roast is
not possible by bulk methods. In
spite of watchful care somo of tho
coffee is roasted too much somo
too littlo. Flavor, variation is there
fore inevitable.
As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is
roasted, it is ground and packed in
vacuum. By this process air, whicli
destroys tho flavor of coffeo, is
taken from the can, and kept out.
Ordinary cans, even if air-tight,
will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for
Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look
for tho Arab the trade-mark on
the can. Sold everywhere by grocers.
