What Poultry Industry Means
Petaluma is the home of 12
million chickens; produced last
year 32 million dozen egs; ship
ped 27,775,000 dozen eggs and
11,790,000 chickens to market;
hatcheries produced more than" 12
million baby chicks. , J
Has world's largest poultry
farm and hatcheries; has invest
ed in poultry farms more than
21 million dollars. Value of poul
try products 'in 1922 .was $17,
000,000. 1 ; I
Egg Day contest was started In
1918. It .has attracted world
wide attention.
What It Means Here
The- winning of this contest by
a Salem girl would attract wide
attention to Salem as a poultry
producing center. Only poultry
producing districts are "being ap
pealed to by the Petaluma com
mittee in asking for contestants.
Salem has as good a chance to
win as any city oh the coast a
better chance, any loyal Salemite
will say, of course, because fwe
have the most pretty girls in proportion-
to our population. t
It is the duty of every Salem
booster, and especially of ' every
one interested in the development
of the poultry industry here and
this should include our whole pop
ulation to urge pretty girls . to
become- ' candidates. . It : Is only
a matter,of securing photographs.
Perhaps some of the bestipho
tographers" of thi3 district will
take an 'interest. ; It they will.
The Statesman will undertake the
task' of seeing to it;? that they get
all the free publicity therewith
that is coming, to them. : "'
-The Statesman wiU refer to thi3
matter often, up to August 4th
and a lot - more, thereafter, in
case a Salem 'candidate should
win. .f :- , , r,v.

The Success of its

Value of Work
Success of its graduates is an
indication of the practical value
of the courses offered by the Ore
gon Agricultural college, i Not
only does a student receive tech
nical training, but also studies
such subjects lis will fit him for
community leadership; The
standard of i work done is being
recognized far and wide, and thus
the reputation of the Institution
is considered an enviable one.
That the majority of students
who study agriculture actually, go
on farms-is shown by statistics.
Graduates in agriculture be
come superintendents !or mana
gers of their own or other peo
ple's farni3. or go into various
specialized branches of farming.
Hundreds of letters' on ile in the
office of the dean of agriculture
show that they are prosperous.
: The agricultural extension ser
vice offers abundant opportunity
for workers trained inj scientific
agriculture. County club work
among the boys and girs now or
ganized under state and county
leaders, is another field that af
fords young men and women who
are graduates of agricultural, col

training into practice. (The home

The expanding work of the ex

solve the problems of agriculture,

October, a record enrollment of
graduate and undergraduate stu

Copper carbonate dust rpat

control, to aid rather than harm

The pick "and shovel are more
popular than the clean white col

search of a vacation job,, says a
well known professor at the col
lege, who estimates that 75 per
cent of the O. A. (?. mea are do

The much higher pay received for
this kind of work than for tem
porary office positions makes it
more desirable for the college boy
earning money for ifext year's ex
penses, he says. 1 The students
are said to be in great demand,
as they do more work and do it
more cheerfully than the 'regular
laborer.
Nine O..A. C. students attend

the Presidio of San Francisco have
qualified for ratings as expert
rifleman, sharpshooter, and
marksman, accordlrig to word re
