Up By 250 Farmers In Attendance The Poultry Group It was pointed out that fl per cent of the total cash income in the county, as reported by the last census, is from poultry. Poultry keeping, when intelligently managed, has proved a profitable crop during each of the pre-war years of de flation. It has had less fluctuation than any other farm crop. This fact caused many to rush into the poultry business without due knowledge of the problems involved. As might be expected on any tech nical business, many of thia number did not prosper. Poultry keeping, whether a spec ialised business or an important farm sideline of four or five hun dred hens, is a technical business. It requires more detailed manage ment than the average person can or will give. It is not a business for which everyone is adapted. Hence there is no reason to as sume that any higher per centage of persons will succeed in the poul try business than in any other line of endeavor. More people would succeed. in poultry keeping if the principles of management were investigated more thoroughly before the business is undertaken. It has been the intent of this poultry group to study the poultry industry from many angles; to incorporate in this report the possibilities of expanding the in dustry; and give the methods of management which will make this expansion safe and profitable over a period of years. Horticultural Group Over 1000 tons of strawberries were imported Into Washington county for use in the processing plants last year, so the conference reports. It was stated that the acreage of red raspberries might be increased when two tons or more can be produced per acre. The Cuthbert is recommended for this purpose. It was said that the black cap raspberry is proving profitable where one ton or more can be pro duced per acre. An increased acreage is recommended but disease free plants must be planted. No increase planting recommended for the loganberry. An increased acre age of the Himelaya and Lauton varieties is recommended for the (Continued on page 8) Local Ford Branch Sold to Mackenzie Olio Erickson & Co.

Butler of the Congre gational church of Gaston, was named president of the County Council of Religious Education, in the annual conference h«-l.l in Hills- boro Saturday and Sunday. The conference was well attended and delegates point to many accomplish ments. Conference speakers were: Mr». Robertson, secretary of the State Religious council; Dr. Levi Penning ton, of Pacific college, Newberg; Dr. T. S. Wheeler; Superintendent M. B. Signs of the Hillsboro schools; the Rev. J. A. McKee; the Rev. M A. Marcy and others. It was the general opinion of the delegates that more would be ac- coinplished, both locally and nation ally, along religious educational lines within the present year than any year so fas in the history of the organization, by all indications.

Resolution Passed Favoring Road to Scholls Section ROTARY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY County Exhibit Is Attractive to Many Tak»n (O. T. McWhorter, Co. Agent) The recommendations made by more than 280 farmers who at tended the agricultural economic conference at Hillsboro last week, cannot be given here for lack of space. The complete report is to be printed and will be distributed later. A few of the conclusions follow: The dairy group appointed two committees to study marketing prob lems and report later. Recom mended the formation of a cow testing association. That more leguminous hay be raised, particular attention being paid to alfalfa. That more succulent crops be planted, particular attention being paid to roots and kale on the small farm where the herd is not large enough to warrant the use of a ailo. That the three breed associations be urged to systematically work for the further elimination of scrub bulls and for the use of better pure bred bulls. That compulsory testing for tu berculosis of all animals In the county be established, either on the county unit plan, or preferably on the basis of the regional plan, a» is now before the Oregon State legislature, and that the county del egates to the legislature be re quested to suport these measures. That more grain fields be grown and that especial attention be paid to the production of barley and oats for dairy feeds, the idea being to attempt to raise most of the grain needed for the cows on the farm. Since the sale of vegetable fats in any form in imitation of or com petition with butter fat places the American farmer in direct compe tition with a product that can be produced so cheaply as to have no hope for successfully meeting the competition; that national and state legislation be urged for a means of giving protection. That the general conference be urged to pass a reso lution endorsing the bills before the present session of the legislature.

T. McWhorter, Co. Agent) The county exhibit of bundled and threshed grain used at the state fair and the Pacific International has been placed in the county agent's office in the Hillsboro Na tional Bank annex. Thia exhibit contains the recommended varieties of grains and grasses for Washing ton county. The exhibit of barley varieties attract the attention of many who visit the office. This ex hibit contains bundles and threshed samples of O. A. C. No. 7 and 38 which are winter varieties, and hooded and Hannschen, which are spring varieties. The exhibit has samples of spring vetch. Hairy or winter vetch and Hungarian. There is some mis understanding in regard to the com- ■non i or Spring vetch, which is seeded I in this county in the fall be- cause of the mild climate. Some regard I this variety as a straight winter ' vetch, which is not the case. Dr. R. P. Nixon, of Forest Grove, has furnished a filbert exhibit, while the walnuts came from Ferd Gron- er’s arid W.

The care-free spirit that marked the days in the camps here and “over there" pervaded the entire body of veterans and already steps are be ing urged for more of the «âme kind of smokers. “The legion is doing great work for the disabled and if it were not for the American Legion the dis abled and veterans would not have the benefits they have today,” de clared State Service Officer Valiant of Portland, who told of the work of the American Legion and said that it was the duty of every ex- service man to belong to the legion. A short talk of welcome was given the veterans by Post Com mander McKinney, who acted as chairman of the evening. The com mittee in charge was composed of L. J. Merrill, A. C. Heston and Morris Weil.
