THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN DID YOU KNOW that the Salem district is ideal for the poultry and pet stock industry; that this is the greatest poult ry count ry in the world; that there is now a fast in creasing interest in all the brnaches of this industry; that there is vast room for expansion here, in connection with fruit and nut growing-, dairying and live stock breeding; that many more large commercial poultry plants ough( to be established here, making this the Pet aluma of Oregon; that more intensified farming meth ods ought to be followed all over this district; that we should have less scratched over land, unless it is scratched over by poultry; that the invitation for more farmers who want to engage in diversified farming, with the poultry industry as a part of it, ought to be given broadcast throughout the country and throughout the world; that the warm welcome that is here and the splen did opportunities that are here ought to be much more generally known? Editor Statesman: Chickens cannot thrive on wet land, so the plot select ed for their range should have good natural drainage. Mud may be prevented fcv the spreading of sand or gravel over the ground. Chickens should have plenty of room in which to run about, for they require exercise. If the busi ness is conducted on a general farm and it is not advisable to give them free range, they should Le provided with fenced-in lots of teasonable size. Housing is a mat ter of first importance. Elaborate oesign and costly fittings are un necessary, but convenience -and provisions for cleanness and Tenti- Ltion are prime requisites. The hen house should be cool in sam n er and warm in winter, be pro vided with good roosting facilities and be so constructed as to pre vent the entrance of vermin, rats ?nd other chicken pests. Over crowding of poultry should be pre- Ly the doren, but you'll find out vented, especially of tEe little that there is always " ready mar let for such eggs.

He work eo there for about nine months, when the war broke out. After the war was over he went to Cor vallis and attended O. A. C. To gain more experience he went to Kent. Wash., in 1920.

In uiivcu vuium nairnin7 Hatcheries are selling more and more chicks each and every year. The more they sell the better the chickens that are in use. You can readily see that more chickens are sold by the example which I gave of Mr. Lee. Six years ago he started wsih borrowed capital and. at the present time, he has eight r-eople employed.
