C. White Leghorn Strain. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vaiiis, Juno II. White leghorns of the O. A. C. strain are wanted by California commercial poultrymen. W. L. Sule., a i'etaluma grower, has Just is:ted the College to place an older fur more thaif 1000 cockerels with Ores;n iultrymen who breed the College stock. The order was placed with Groves and Reusch whose farms are near Corvallis. Mr. Sales was attracted by the vig or and laying qualities of the College strain, and when he saw an advertise ment of some of the College birds in a I'etaluma paper he came north to place large orders. He expects to dis tribute the cockerels among the poultry breeders who supply him w ith hatching eggs for lis incubator, which turn out 100,000 chicks a month. His purpose is to increase the egg yield in the famous Petaluma district by introducing new Btock in the form of high bred males. So great is the demand for this stock that the Petaluma advertisement brought orders for several thousand cockerels. The poultry department has sent out many breeding males to Oregon poultrymen but only in limited num bers to any one person or firm. This policy has enabled many commercial growers in Oregon to develop large flocks of the O. A. C. strain, and these breeders are able to ofiei breeding males in large numbers. The work of the poultry departmnt .'.as heartily commended by Mr. Sales, who says that its equipment is not above the reach of any commer cial growers. He considers the work most valuable in that it provides breeders with a source of well bred stock to improve their home and com mercial flocks. WESLE N.

LEMONADE LIFESAVER TO MEN IN FRANCE (From Stars and Stripe's, Paris) When the wiping out of the Sois- son's salient becomes a mere incident in the growing list of German victor ies that might have been there will probably be no Item better re membered by men who were wounded while on that little job than the item of lemonade. One division in particular will thank the Salvaton Army with pocket books open for the carload of Juicy yellow Italian fruit that happened to be near enough to Solssons and to Chateau-Thierry wounded available in in the thick of things. The Salvation Army had been look ing forward to hot weather, drive or no drive, and they were getting readv to substitute real lemonade with rinds and everything, for the old reliable chocolate or the doubtful pinard. The water supply was none too good and when a man is hot he wants something to drink as soon as he can get to it. So when the doughboys and the ar tillery and the Signal Corps began sending representatives back to visit the dressing-stations the Salvation Army came to the fore with those Italian lemons, beaucoup sugar and barrels of clean, cold water, which they brought up on a Ford delivery truck. Every Yank who got within range of that lemonade threw away his, cigarette and made a dive for his tin cup. The doctors say that a good many who couldn't walk and who couldn't make a dive for their share, are going to live and go back to the States be cause they got a drink that killed their fever when they needed it most. Lemonade is a lifesaver to wound feverod men, and this particular lot turned some good tricks. for the sur geons. Another thing that was imported for .use in the emergency was mos quito netting. When the need for protection against fleas was apparent at the evacuation hospitals and dress ing stations the Salvation Army las sies sent to Paris and got all they could. Then, too, the doughnut batteries more than scored on this latest stra tegic retreat of Fritz. Two little Sal vation lassies fed twenty-eight lost, hungry doughlioys in a bunch less than six hours after starting their re freshment station. Battle smoke could not blot out the cheerful smell of frying, nor shell fire drive away (.no allure of the unctious sinker. Oregon's opportunity to show its appreciation for this wonderful or ganization, will come June 22 to 30 when the Home Sorvice campaign of the Salvation Army will be staged In this state. Oregon's quota is $250, 000, of which half is to be raised in Portland.
