Cockerels of ). A. 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.

Nts reached Heppner Tuesday of
the d.'Hth of Wesley N. Matlock

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.
