Close Attention to Technical Educa
tion in Work Revealed In Ques
tions Instructive Address hy
lr. James YVIthycombc.
As an indication of the interest thaf i
belnff :al-en by young people of Portland
In the chicken-raising busineiui. ,Rt
night's meeting of the Junior Poultry
Association at the Y. M. C. A., was a
complete zhiccess. The way in which
fhe address of Ir. James "Withy com be.
director of tho Oregon Kxperiment Sta
tion t Oorvallis. was received by the
boys and girls and the questions aked
by th-n at Its close plainly indicated that
the promoters of tlie association made a
happy discovery when they fetarted the
organization.
Perhaps the most Interesting feature of
the merlin was the series of questions
aked by the young members regarding
tne best breeds to take up. how. larse
the Mocks should be, when to set the
hens, the cost of feeding and other ques
tions that only a quick-witted boy could
think of asking.
A canvass off the young people present
showed that 70 of them have read the
nrt lesson in poultry-raising which h
furnished by the Agricultural College.
Of that number 38 have registered for
the contest to be inaugurated in October.
From the enthusiasm showed at last
night's meeting it is fair to assume that
there will be many times that number
enrolled when the contest opens.
Dr. Withycombe's lecture was tilled
m-iih valuable suggestions for the success
ful conduct of a chicken-yard, lie also
expre.iried the belief that elementary agri
culture should be taught in the public
schools. This, he said, would not only
prove a. restful diversion, but would create
an interest in the soil and Its productions.
Lr. Wit hycomhe's address was in part
as follows:
A casual observation reveals a lars;o
amuuni of waste ls.nd In the vicinity uf
nearly all cities. T'.ila land shouid be
utilized and there la perhaps no better way
than the keeping; of poultry and tho grnw
inr of fruits and vegetables. The organisa
tion of the Portland Junior Poultry t'luh is
it hopeful s'.sjn that much of this 'and la
K-'-tns; to be brought Into profitable use.
This v good, not only for the revenue is
wll! produce, but also for tho possible habits
of Industry and the spirit of relf-rellance It
will develop among- the boys.
One nf tho problems of urban ltfo is tho
satisfactory employment of the boys. Dur
ing vacation and outride of school hours
tii'y should not bo confined In offices, stores
and factories, but should be kept In tho open
where they can enjoy tho Invigorating- and
wholesome Influence of pure air and sunlight
and thus dwveiop a strong pbvvtcal manhood.
Tf. j-re In no better way to bung t iis abut
than to enlist their intcren in poultry and
ysrdmlng. For example, eai. b vacant lot
affords sufficient space for a dozen laying
hens, ThfM hens, with proper food and
care, should yield a nft prortt of t !-at
a year. Thia may not s-m large. tut
if the thousands of vscnt lot in ihc city
were utilised in this way, tre aggregate
revenue would amount to a g od detL Vho
single hen unit of alue is small, but when
we realize that all of the hens In Oregon
last year yielded an aggregate revenue of
about JS.O0''."1. It seems large. Bol who
may not b Interested In poultry may be
Induced to take up the growing of vegetables
and fruit. Thousands of doliara worth of
