A number of people in this sec tion are becoming interested in poultry raising, and as the prices for eggs and chickens are always high here, there seems to be no reason why poultry raising should not pay. The following account of what has been done on a ranch in Walla Waila will be an object lesson to the people here who are interested in the poultry business: All the expenses of a 400-aere wheat ranch in the Walla Walla Valley are being paid by 20») hens, according to the statement of Frank Breed, one of the best- known poultry raisers of the val ley. After paying for all the grocer ies, fuel, meat and even for the threshing of 200 acres of wheat last year, the chickens had a bal ance of $82.60 to their credit at a grocery store January- 1. They are pure bred poultry and are the property of C. C. Parker, who farms the Davis ranch on Dry Creek. Found Many Changes in His Old Home G. W. Davies returned last week from a visit to his old home to visit his parents at Davenport Wn. He had not t>een there for 22 years and said he hardly knew the place. Mr.. Davies’ father has aged greatly during that time, and is now in feeble health. Mr. Davies renewed old acquaint- enceships and told what a won derful country this section of Cen tral Oregon was, and put in a good long boost for Redmond and the Redmond District Valentines Chad Irvin Buys Furniture Store Last week Chad H.
