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

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

"Potato diseases in Oregon and
their control'' is the name of a 52
page bulletin just off the press and
ready for free distribution. This
bulletin by M. B. McKay, associate
plant pathologist at the Oregon Ex-j
periment station, gives general con
trol measures for all potato diseases
common to Oregon with a discussion
of each separate disease. This
is a popular bulletin written in plain
language. It will make a valuable
addition to any farmer's library.

"JUST GOOD" HEN PROFITLESS
It's Producer Above Average That
Nets Premium Over All Costs
Last 40 Eggs Tell.
it s only the last 4l or oO eggs
which the better-than-avarage hens
lay that bring the owner a profit
over all costs of production. -
; "The poultryman whose flock
'averages 140 to 150 eggs per hen
receives Interest on his investment
but no pay for his labor,' says A,
G. 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.

Chicks Need Clean Feed.
.It is not always so much the
kind of feed as how it is fed that
causes trouble with young chicks.
