" To produce strong, healthy chicks that will meet competition successfully,, we must have breed era of the ;very highest type, and it is wonderful how soon you can build up a desirable flock, if you go at it in, an earnest, intelligent manner. - ' . :. h . Important for Beginners ; j Now if you will bear with me for a moment; I should like to give you what is regarded as some of the important features to be considered by beginners, .and also my ideas why" some of our flocks do not prove desirable from 'the standpoint of . .the hatctaeryman, and a suggestion or two as to th remedy. for these ffeults. J s . Poultry keeping is a business in the - true sense of the. word,' and we should apply business princi ples in' running It. ;. -tT - One cannot make a success of any ventnre unless a definite plan is very carefully laid out before hand, and in preparing for the psultry industry one should choose the proper location for his ranch, he should build . proper housing facilities, and he should have a thorough knowledge of the breed he Is intending to keep. About the location. ' In considering "proper loca tion," one , should choose land adapted to poultry raising. One should! be able to- raise plenty ol green feed on his or her place, as this Is Very necessary on a success ful poultry ranch. If you have an equable climate, and within easy access to the big markets, you have the essential ' natural fear tures for an ideal, poultry man's home. i. ? - ' ' ' The Housing Plana i, As to buildings,-' the Veil built handy poultry house is the one to Buy the Oregon Made ; Furnaces W.

Uy visiting a few of the large up to date plants, one can soon decide on suitable plans' for his own buildings, i Proper f con struction is a very Important con sideration, for, with . properly ar ranged house, one can care for a large flock with rery little waste effort,' and consequently a great saying jof time. Poor houses are expensive in the' long run, so build good ones. ; Decide on one style of building for your ranch. Paint them ! if 1 possible" as"lhe! buildings " will last! longer, and Jt will add to the appearance of your place also. -'Any time saving" and labor saving conveniences are well worth installing. Efficiency should be the uppermost thought in your mind. It you have two or1 more laying houses, your feed' house should be as near the center 'of your ranch as possible, as this will save you many steps In the course of a day. j About the Breed : When it comes to choosing the breed to , keep. I would suggest that you decide on thet kind ' you like the best. You are sure to suc ceed better with your favorite breed than with, some other. No matter what kind you keep, HAVE ONLY " ONE KIND, and HAVE THEM THOROUGHBRED. A mixed lot of chickens is as' un attractive as a mongrel cur. . You all know what an inspiring sight it is to' see a flock of fine thoroughbred chickens, with a back ground of well kept, up to date poultry buildings. It costs just as much to feed inferior as good stock, and the good stock pays far larger dividends. If you have thoroughbred stock, you can always find a market in the spring of the year for your hatching eggs at a big advance over the market price, thus enabling you to realize a handsome profit when thef mar ket price of eggs is low. About the Feeding One must not think that he can make money from poultry by Just "putting In wheat and .picking up eggs." Feeding is perhaps the most important of the subjects to be well informed upon, and should receive- your close applica tion and study. , - . So many poultrymen are unable to tell the layer1 from the non layer, and are therefore feeding a great many non producers. You are losing money all the time on these "boarders," bo why not learn how to cull" these out of your flock and save "yourself this expense? In this Tegardr the Ho- gan system will be of .great ser vice, although trapnesjhig is the only sure way to knowjust what your Individual birds are doings : y The Be is Cheapest f One of the biggest mistakes one can make is to buy certain' stock because It is cheap. One usually gets what he pays for, and it one :A3Y- CHICKS ''XI All 1 ! All Local 2j Support Home Industry C: &. NEEDHAM 558 State St. SALEM, OSZOOH by. r is Intending to stay In the poultry business permanently, he should choose his foundation stock very carefully, and in fact, buy the best he can afford every year he' is in the business. The best Is the cheapest in the I long run, and Is tar more profitable. We have a great many poultry keepers who go into the business with a rush, because they "heir there is big money in it." The ma jority of this class go out of the business in a year or two, for some little discouragement makes them quit. t There are some tbat jump from one crop to another because the previous year the- prices -were high. We have this class to con tend with in the poultry industry. (I might add that this class of people usually .pick the "off year.") Big Money for Right Men There Is no doubt but there is big money in raising poultry. If the business is managed properly. We have instances of this on every hand. SOME of the principles of successful, poultry raising have been mentioned in a very brief way In this -article, and there are scores of other suggestions that could be made right along this line.- ' Xt ' ' Our baby chick trade de mands . certain requirements in the different varieties we handle, so I will try to give you briefly on what basis , Our breeders ore se lected. How Breeders Are Chosen t in the White Leghorns, . our trade demands a combination of the exceptional layer and the good sized bird., They must., be pure white birds of the true Leghorn type,; and lay "snow white" eggs. We have more .difficulty with R. I. Reds than any other of our varieties, because the chicks do not come out a uniform color. The principal reason for this is due to poor undercolor in the breeders. A great many Reds have either light color, or they have "smut" in the underf eat hers, and this is the cause of most of our "off color ed". Red chicks. A first class flock of Reds should have the deep red color running from the opter feathers and right throagh to the skin. The Barred Plymouth Rocks should be good sized, evenly bar red, and of a good laying type. In the Anconas. the trade de mands the dark colored bird, and the heavy layer, consequently the birds with too many white feath era, and the nonlaying type should foe culled out of the flock. The Standard of Perfection gives the weight of the Black Mi norca hen at six and a half pounds and the cock bird at nine pounds. We have found very few of our valley flocks that come up to the required weight, so we tainiy need some special breeding for size In this variety. We have been able to find a number of very fine white Ply mouth Rock flocks, so wo have very little to worry us when it comes to this variety. ' Soma one has iintiv nafrt.- "Tn succeed you must excel," and thlsstead nntil we give you further is just as true of the poultry In dustry as it is of any other line of endeavor. You are secure dgalnst failure, if you build up your flock on a "quality" basis. Yours for more and better poul try, . C. N. NEEDIIAM. Salem. Ore., Feb. 28, 1923, 558 State St., Phone 400. Hatched The Surest Way to Get Industries Is to Support BROCCOL P now com u i Should Have Been 100 Cars in Salem District; May Be Around 25 Cars. Broccoli harvest Is now begin ning. Already some shipments of this autocrat of the -; vegetable world have, been made from the Roseburg district, and the first samples - have brought very high prices in the big city markets. The Umpqua valley will harvest about 256 cars of. broccoli this year; a normal crop,' for the acre age in that district. . The Willamette valley will har vest perhaps 25 cars in all for shipment, besides some broccoli that will be - used for canning. This Is away below normal, for the acreage that was planted. Enough seed was furnished last spring for producing 100 cars ' in the Willamette valley. But several things happened. The high water of the first part of January wash ed out a lot of the broccoli plant ed In the, .low places. But the freezing weather of February did the most damage. I" Most of the broccoli acreage in 'the Willamette valley district Is in the Oregon 7 Growers Cooperative association. They expect to have 15 to 20 cars to ship, besides some for canning. The balance of the Willamette valley crop is mostly In the hands of the local Salem broccoli association. The Oregon Growers Cooperative asso ciation also controls a consider able portion of the Umpqua valley broccoli. The prices for the main crop have not, been announced. They will likely run around 11.50 to. 1 2 a crate; perhaps the aver age will not be much above S1.50 The standard car of broccoli con tains about 485 crates. T THE BEST CROP BE (The following letter to the Tacific Homestead, the farm paper published from the States man building, will interest many readers; and it will no doubt be of help -In stimulating the corn boom which is under way in Marion and Polk counties, and the other Willamette valley counties a development that is bound to increase immensely the earning cower of th CON 0 cer-fcnd the total wealth of aJl this part of the state:) "The Pacific Homestead, Sa lem, Oregon -Dear , Sirs: This season we have about 200 bush els, of mighty fine Golden Glow seed corn, and we are again sending you our ad which you will please run in th Hnmm notice.

SALEM DISTRICT POULTIiy BREEDERS SETTING IE PACE FOR THE WORLD They Are Winning in World , Laying Contests, 'and They Will Set High Marks for the Big Men in the Industry in All Parts of the Earth to Shoot at. , ' Many poultrymen In the Salem district have -made-both national i and international -reputations for. me nign ciass ana. neavy produc ing qualities of. their fowls. . For instance, only last Novem ber J. A. Hanson of Corvallis was awarded a 1100 silver cup and an embossed certificate in the Eng lish International egg-laying com petition near London, England, In which his eight fine White Leg horn hens laid more eggs during the past year than any other for eign" pen in the contest. The year before Mr. Hanson's entry was the winning pen in the Santa Cruz, California, egg-laying contest. His fowls have also made a wonder ful record In the Michigan and many ' "other., national egg-laying contests. . f C. E. Armstrong of Corvallis is. another poultryman whose White Leghorns are making a great re cord in the big western egg-laying contests. r The same is true of the entries of L. E. Arnold, a White Leghorn specialist 'of Lebanon. Walter Downing of Salem has in a brief space of. a . couple of years made a state and Pacific northwest record 'for the excel lence of his ; White Plymouth Rocks, he having Individual . birds valued ' at more than 100; in fact some of his foundation 'stock cost him that price or more per bird. He wins hlue ribbons in the state fair and all of the big northwest poultry shows -on hia fine fowls. Another Salem breeder, Eugene T. Prescott, has received national recognation among the poultry men, and .has been made an of ficial of the .
