CLUB NEWS NOTES ITEMS OF INTEREST ABOUT THE DOTS AND. GIItLS. State Club Leader Visits Clubs. H. C. Seymour, state club leader, was in Malheur county on March 30 and 81 visiting the boys' and girls' clubs at Ontario, Oregon Slope, Jef ferson Annex and the two Big Bend communities. 1 At each meeting he emphasized the importance of keep ing up the reports and of finishing the work. There were 254 standard clubs in Oregon last year that fin ished 100 per cent," said Mr. Sey mour, "and we expect , that there will be 600 100 per cent clubs this year. The outstanding feature about the club work is that nearly all of the last year's club members are en rolling for the work this year and bringing one or two new members with them." Twelve or 14 boys at Valley View are anxious to organize a poultry club again this year. Mrs. Hans Oft was local leader of the club last year and did some splendid fvork with the boys and girls. Poultry Club at Ontario. A poultry club of 12 members was organized at Ontario, with Ralph Drain as local leader. Mr. Drain fs senior in the Ontario high school and is specializing in agriculture. He is carrying on the poultry pro ject under the Smith Hughes work this year. All of the boys are planning on raising pure bred chickens. They believe that there is a place for a few good layers in each family and their demonstration will undoubtedly increase the interest in the poultry business. Four Divisions in Poultry Project Club members who are interested in poultry raising may enter one or more of the following projects: Division 1. The care and manage ment of at least five laying liens for a period of six months. Division 2. The incubation of at least' one sitting of hen eggs, or the securing of at least one dozen day old chicks and the care and manage ment of the chicks for a period of four months. Division 3. The incubation of at least one sitting of turkey eggs and care and management of the young turkey eggs and care and manage ment of the young turkeys for a period of four months. Division 4. The incubation of at least one sitting of duck eggs and the care and management of the young ducks for a period of four months. , In all of the poultry club work only standard bred fowls are recom mended. In the majority of cases the boy or girl is urged to take at least thirty baby chicks or its equiv alent, because of the greater chance to pick good birds for the exhibit and the greater possibility of mak ing it a financial success and sonse quently the greater interest taken in the work. Club members who were in Divis-j ion 2 last year may continue with birds in Division 1 this the baby chick for 72 hours after it is the same year. Do not feed from 48 to hatched. Success is born of such parents as Willingness and Work. Western Farmer. LECTURES ON BABY CHIX PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON CARE AND FEEDING OF BABY CHIX H. E. Cosby, poultry specialist of the Oregon Agricultural College gave a very practical lecture on the care and feeding of baby chicks at the City HaU in Ontario last Wed nesday afternoon to a crowd ol i about forty interested poultrymen In the forenoon, there was a demon stration meeting at the A. B. Cain poultry farm .two miles West ol town where the incubator rooms and brooder rooms were shown as well as foods, etc, used in the care of young chicks. Mr. Cain had hik 1500-chick brooder in working order, as well as a number of incubatori of various capacities and makes Many points of importance in the operation of the equipment were cleared up for the benefit of trose present. During the course of this lecture, Mr. Cosby discussed every phase of the care and feeding of chicks from the time they are hatched , to the time they begin laying as pullets He emphasized the importance of withholding food for the first two or three days, keeping the chicks either in the incubator during this time or if transferred to the brooder they should be kept in the dark to prevent them from forming bad habits such as picking each others toes, the droppings or filling up with gravel. During the first seven days of feeding he recommended the use of a chick food made up of 3 parts each of cracked wheat, cracked corn and pin-head or steel cut oata and 1 part of fine grit, fed three times daily in litter after the third day, together with a mash of equal parts of bran, shorts and corn meal mixed with eggs (or rolled oats mixed with eggs) fed twice daily, grit and charcoal supplied in hop pers, giving no water to drink but using either sour milk or buttermilk instead. From seven to twenty-one days of age. he recommended the same chick feed with all they will cleans up at night. Also the same mash fed in hoppers and before the chicks from one-third to one-half the time. Milk for drink, or 10 per cent meat scap in the mash as a substitute. Deepen the litter and add green food. Other alterations were recommended as the chicks gow old er. New Potato Bulletin Out.

Lunn, head of the poultry hus bandry at the O. A. C. experiment station. "With a well bred flock properly cared for the production would be from 180 to 200 eggs a year. This would net him a profit of 90 cents a fowl. "It is often found in analyzing farm records that the producer who is above the average obtains an extra premium for his products, as he gets the extra two or four dozen eggs in the early fall when eggs are high. "The flock averaging 144 eggs in the year produces the largest num. ber of them in late winter, spring, and early summer when eggs are cheapest. The poultryman who gets the . extra eggs actually receives more for them than would be shown in the average price received per year on the average farm." The average overhead expenses on a commercial poultry farm consist ing of interest on investment, taxes and depreciation, equals the cost of feed, it was found through farm survey work. The cost of feeding a fowl on the average commercial poultry farm is between $1.80 and $2 a year, points out Professor Lunn. On the farm the cost is probably cut one-half, as a hen obtains some food from by products. With eggs averaging 80 cents a dozen, it would require six dozen eggs to pay for the feed. The average production of Oregon fowls is about 100 eggs a year. On the commercial poultry farm it aver ages from 140 to 150 eggs. This would leave six dozen to pay inter est on investment in buildings and equipment and to furnish a profit to the producer.

THE HAPPY WEEDS "We are so happy," said some little Weeds which were growing In a bis flower pot "I'm glad you are," said Fairy Ybab. "You know I've met snch hap py creatures and things today 1 I had a talk with some elephants belonging to s circus not long a g o o o t more than two honrs ago, and while they all had been having a One time ene elephant was as proud as ever a creature could be. "And now I meet you and you're all so happy." The Fairy Ybab was perched upon the side of the flower pot In the flower pot was a big, bright geranium flower, and growing In the earth, too, were quite a few little, tiny weeds. "What has happened to make you so happy, Weeds?" asked Fairy Ybab. "You sec," the Weeds continued aft er a moment, "we aren't always want ed. As' a family we're not so very popular. We're usually dug up and thrown away, and, after all, we sup 'post that Is a right. "for we, as a amUy, ate rather ' meek the way we crowd the flower out of the way, and If they don't want harm tens they must get out of the war before we can do much' harm. Ve can't really, blame people for digging us up, for as a family we do push our way about and aren't In the least polite about waiting for Invita tions or anything like that. "But when the person who owns this flower and tills flower pot saw us coming up out of the earth, she said: " "Oh, I am glad to see those cun ning little weeds growing up.' "You can Imagine how pleased we were I We all were just as hapy? and pleased as could be. We weren't going to do. the flower any harm be cause we were only little bits of weeds and weren't going to grow up into strong big weeds, but we thought we'd be dug up in any case. "But no, we were actually wel comed. Just fancy, Fairy Ybab, how much that means to the Weed fam ily. For some time to come now the family with pride will tell this story. "Yes, the Weed family will tell how some of Its members were wanted and how they were greeted. "So we're going to stay alouss'? ihfcs fine plant, and we are going to be a part of the decoration In the flower pot. . "That's enough to make us proud, Isn't It, Fairy Ybab?" "Ah, yes. I don't wonder you are proud," snhi Fairy Ybab. "I don't wonder at all. "And now I must tell you of the proud elephant. This elephant had been ridden by a beautiful Indy who had come to visit the circus.' "She was a friend of some of the circus people and she had asked If she could ride this elephant In the parade. "And she did I Site rode the ele phant In not only one, but In two parados I "The eleplwnt was so proud I "Fairy Ybab,' he said to me, 'Just think of the great honor which hus been shown to me.
