In the contest for “better homes”
a number of the honia^ which have
been designated as greatly improv­
ed and awarded prizes Were demon­
strations being carried on by mem­
bers of the home-demonatration clubs
'or rural-home improvement. Many
housekeepers started wi»h an attempt
to make the kitchen more convenient
and easier to work in; other rooms
were done over, until the entire
house was more comfortable and at­
tractive.
The better-homes organization, a
national welfare association, report­
ed about 1,000 entries in the contest.
In Charlottesville, V«., the county
home-demonstration agent secured an
old home to remodel and improve as
a “demonstration.”
Women came
!rom all over the county to help.
'Valis, woodwork, and floors were
done over; old furniture was refin-
:shed and loaned or given to be ex­
hibited; curtains, rugs and other fur­
nishings were made by club members
nd used to show what could be done
without great expense. Hundreds
of persons came to see the finished
demonstration, which finally received
he first prize among the “better
homes” of the county, although not
originally intended for competition.
More than 7 per cent of the stu­
dents at Michigan agricultural col­
lege previously were members of
boys’ and girls’ agricultural clubs.
There are now 133 students at this
college who had received training and
inspiration from their club work.
They did things with fields of com,
with gardens, with flocks of hens,
with pigs, and calves and sheep, in
canning, in sewing, and in a score
more ways. But because they learn­
ed to do these things well they did
not scorn the lecture hall and labo­
ratory.
Although engineering and liberal
arts also are taught at this school,
more than twice as many of these
former club members are enrolled in
agriculture and home economics as
in all the ether courses. The know­
ledge and skill acquired in practical
club work stimulated an interest in
farm life and an appreciation of the
importance of being well trained for

The peculiar conditions this sea
son in potato raising have led some
growers to resolve on planting the
main crop of spuds so early that they
can be dug before danger of being
damaged by rains, as so many have
been this year.
Better consider carefully before
making the change. On light, rich,
well-drained land like the sediment
flats along some of our mountain
streams the best potatoes can be
grown, and only on such soils can
large crops be obtained.

Western Oregon >• a paradise for
poultry, as it is for dairying in all
its branches, and it is probable that
Linn county exceeds any other sec­
tion of its size ia the number of
paying flocks of biddies.
Among the many is one quite close
to Halsey, that of Mr. and Mrs. A.
C. Armstrong. They raised chicks
nt Tangent in 1909 before coming
here. Their business has grown un­
til their sales of chicks last year
nmountd to 8000. They already have
orders for 4000 for the approaching
eason and supply all these from
about 350 breeding hens.
They have call for more eggs for
hatching than they can spare.
Perhaps the largest poultry plant
in the county is the Arnold ranch
at Lebanon.
Mr. Arnold has bred
steadily for high egg production and
has achieved such a reputation that
n the last two years he has shipped
over 5000 cockrels for breeding pur­
poses on orders from California.
One shipment last year wag 2000 of
•hese cockrels to Petaluma, the poul­
try metropolis of the golden state.
One of Arnold’s hens has a record
of 308 eggs In 366 days. He gives
his pullets a 12-hour day all winter
by using electric light, but the older
breeding hens are not forced beyond
nature’s gait.
These are only two of many flogks

In the country. When the department
took over the management o f this

urea equal to two city blocks, the place
was found to be badly Infested by rats,
here was not only loss In food prod­
ucts, but also daogor to public health
through contamination of foods.
Barium Carbonate Used.
So serious was tbe Infestation th a t
some who had noticed conditions hesi­
tated to purchase th eir food supplies
there. To clear up the situation w ith­
out unduly disturbing the public, the
biological survey,go-operating with the
bureau of agricultural economics, be­
gan work very lnconsplcuoualy. B arium
carbonate was dlatrlbatad under care­
fully controlled conditions and 300 rata
were found killed at one time. T ra p s
were also used on a lurge scale. Ac­
cumulated rubbish was cleared awuy.
Infested hollow walls and other struc­
tures were replaced by rat-proof con­
struction. more »unitary and rat-proof
booths were built of concrete,' und u
lurge laclnerutor was Installed to con­
sume garbage und rubbish.
Conditions Improved.
Special attention was given to rut-
proullng food-storage plucea. including
ull cold storage. T he interest of the
dealers was enlisted In the effort, und
many neighboring commission bouse«,
ut their request, were assisted and
have adopted measures recommended

Got Rid o f Rata
At the marine barracks, Quantico,
Vn., the post commissary building
had become infested with rats. All
efforts to get rid of them with com­
mercial baits were of no avail. An
appeal finally made to the depart­
ment of agriculture was met with
immediate response.
About 600 baits of different sorts,
poisoned with barium carbonate, were
ot out on September 4
The first
night about 260 of the baits were
laken and the second night about 50
more. Only a very small proportion
of the rats killed died outside of
their holes. In this case, about 35
lead and dying rats were found, and
since putting out the poison not a
r»t has heen seen.

est shipment ever made tn Oregon,

of W K Rogers. Charlottetown. Prince
