Expert Will Address Poultry
Raisers in the Valley.
(By W. W, Watson, Secretary)
Prof. C. C. Lamb, representing ex ­
tension work in the poultry d ep artm en t
of the Oregon Argricultural college, in
which he is a specialist, will devote
live days to t h a t work among th e poul­
try peoole of this valley, beginning
Tuesday, March 6, and concluding S at
urriay, March 10. His first le c tu re will
be given in Medford, Tuesday, March
fi, a t the public library hall, and his
last Saturday a t the sam e place.
Prof. Lamb will address the poultry
raisers of Ashland on a day to be named
later. Gold Hill, Eagle Point, and prob­
ably one oth er place in the valley will
hear him while here.
At these places
he will discuss the several im portant
projects in his departm ent of th e col­
lege.
It is through the good offices of Prof.
Claude C. C it e , county pathologist th a t
Prof. Lamb comes to us at this time.
I t is the season a t which instruction in
poultry husbandry may be applied prac­
tically without delay. It is the time at
which Rogue River valley poulterers
need information most.
Among the projects to he discussed
by the specialist will be feeding, both
for eggs and for conditioning the m a r ­
ket fowl; the tr e a tm e n t of poultry ail­
ments, including those of the chick;
housing and w hatever Prof. Lamb may
deem appropriate at this time.
Southern Oregon Poultry association
is the neuclus about which is develop­
ing a big industry. The work accom­
plished during its first year nf existence
under extrem ely unfavorable conditions
at times, exposed to the farm er the op­
portunity of turning his farm flock to
profitable account—not merely ior pin-
money. but as an im portant asset in
farm economy, Ha has already begun
to pay taxes, buy additional implements
and make necessary improvem ents out
of his poultry money; and that, too,
with a mere sm atterin g of how to do
it. In this manner he has practically
dem onstrated the g re a t value of a well-
kept farm flook. O thers are preparing
to go into poultry husbandry more e x ­
tensively for g re a t e r profit.
The association and its proposed egg
circles will help him to buy necessary
feed this y ear a t a more reasonable fig­
u re than he can obtain it alone, and it
will show him why he should not here-
a ft e r im port his feed at all.
