CREAMERY MEETING NOTICE CATIOITAL PROGRAM JAN. 9 There will be a meeting of the Umatilla Project Farm Bureau in the Hermiston Union church, Sat urday. January 5, at 8:00 p. m. The program will start promptly at the appointed time. Following is a letter from the Washington Cooperative Chick association, which will ex plain the major part of the program. “The program we plan to put on for you on January 6th will require about two hours. We would like to request that you have very little if anything else on the program tor that evening as we áre afraid it would make it too long. You are, however, the final judge in this mat ter. “Ira Young, the man who was down there before, will be there, and will have with him, L. C. (Shorty) Boggs. Shorty is a practi cal poultryman, in charge now of our Master Breeding Farm, in which we brood around 15,000 chicks and Irapnest from 2400 to 3500 pullets each year. ‘ Shorty will be the speaker, and will assist himself by showing three or four reels of motion pictures. Th se pictures were taken at our own farm and in our own hatcher ies and tell the story of the breed ing and production work we are do ing, in an educational way. These pictures have been shown In nearly every poultry district in this state and a great many have expressed the thought that they are very in teresting and educational. I am sure you will feel that no apology is necessary afterward to any poul tryman who spends the time to come out and see them. “Shorty will supplement the pic tures with a talk on chick sexing work, and late developments of } reeding work at the breeding farm. He will leave time for a discussion of any questions which may come up in regard to cooperative chicks, or general poultry problems.” Mrs. Geo. Genn, Farm Bureau Paultry Leader, requests that poul trymen jot down questions which have confronted them in their work during the past year, and present them at this meeting. An open dis- eussion will be held at the close of the lecture and Mr. Boggs will en deavor to answer all questions. Cooperatives Are “Big Business.” "The volume of business perform ed by farmers cooperatives in mar keting and purchasing activities is reported to exceed one and one- third billion dollars, in 1933, in volving the participation of some two million farmer patrons and members of cooperative institutions,” said F. W. Peck, chief of the Bank for Cooperatives, in discussing the problems of farm organizations. "In the aggregate this represents big business In every sense of the term, and the diversity of the products marketed by the cooperative route and the types and quantities of farm supplies being purchased co- operatively illustrate widespread in terest in the farmers’ business en terprises. Farmers May Organize. "While there is considerable ques tion in the minds of many people in private business aS to the values that farmers receive from doing business collectively, no one has yet denied the economic right of farm producers to join together for mu- trai profit and improvement through their cooperative institutions. It is essentially your (the farmers’) busi ness and it is your decisions that will finally decide whether or not cooperatives will continue to serve your Interest effectively and effi ciently. "There is no divine right for either private business or coopera tive enterprises in handling farm products and farm supplies. In real ity cooperative selling and buying represents cold-blooded business pre cedere under the keenest kind of competition with no magic involved in producing satisfactory results in the form of prices, dividends or ser vices to farmer members of coopera tives. New Wheat Tried in Deschutes. REDMOND—A new winter wheat variety, known as Hybrid No. 63, is being given a trial in Deschutes county this year by M. A. King of Redmond, cooperating with County Arent Cue Hägglund. Seed for this trial was obtained from the branch experiment station at Burns, where It has a record of 99.7 bushels per acre. A total of 400 pounds of seed was used in the trial, planted at the rate of about 75 pounds per acre. PAGE THREP THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1934 DISKED OR PLOWED FALLOW AFFECTS YIELD BUT LITTLE A meeting of members of the Umatilla Cooperative Creamery in the Boardman district will be held at Boardman in the hall above the postoffice on January ninth, which will be the second Wednesday. The purpose of this meeting is to elect one candidate for director from the Boardman district. The meeting will be called to order as soon after noon as possible. Non-members will be welcome and it is hoped that the meeting will be well attended by members who are to elect a director to serve on the board for the coming two year term.

USE COLOR SCHEME TO SELECT LAYERS Red-White-and-Blue Method Is Recommended. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.— WNU Service. A simple plan of selecting the best layers in a farm flock is described by H. L Shrader, of the United States Department of Agriculture, as the red- white-and-blue method. It calls for the use of three colors of leg bands for marking three desirable characteristics of hens in the breeding flock. The first culling date provides a check on all pullets that have begun to lay. These are the early-maturing pullets and are marked with red leg bands. It Is easy to determine an early layer, as she has a deep-red comb and wattles and a moist vent. If the bird belongs to one of the yellow- skinned varieties she will show distinct bleaching around the vent and on the beak. The next culling period affords an opportunity to check the rate at which the pullets have laid during the win ter. Those that have laid steadily will have lost, through the egg yolks, most of the yellow coloring matter assimi lated from yellow and green feed. But birds that have taken a vacation dur ing the winter have some of this pig meat, readily observable, in the beaks and shanks. All pullets with bleached beaks and shanks are marked with a white leg hand. The last period for culling comes after the hot weather has arrived. This is the time to detect the birds that take their vacation before they have finished their laying year. The molt Is a good Indication of the time these pullets have been out of laying. The bird with ragged, worn feathers may not look like a blue-ribbon winner compared with her sister that has clean, bright feathers. But the bird with the worn feathers deserves the blue leg band be cause she Is a persistent layer and has kept up her production into the hot weather Instead of molting a new crop of feathers. Leg bands are removed from birds that go broody. The red-white-and-blue layers should be mated the next spring to males from flocks with trap-nest records that show heavy winter production of good- sized eggs of the proper color for the breed. Heat for Poultry Houses Where Winter Is Severe Heating poultry houses seems to be necessary. In very cold parts, if hens are to lay well In winter, says the Mont real Herald. The danger of fire makes great care essential. Attention to a few elementary principles will assure a maximum of safety and prevent very heavy losses. First, the floor of the house and the stove should be level. This not only makes for less danger of oil leakage and bettet stove functioning, bnt also makes for keeping the litter level In stead of piled up In the low spot which may be under the stove. Be sure the thermostat or wafer Is In good shape and actually regulating the stove. Place asbestos or sand, or both, un der the stove. Be sure the sand Is as deep or deeper than the litter, and scrape out any litter that works under the hover. Making sure that the sand Is deep enough, and that the peat, crushed cobs or straw are not under the stove, should be a daily checking job. The brooder house should always be placed far enough from the other build ings so that If the worst comes, it won't involve other farm buildings. Lack of Mineral in Feed Lameness In chickens may be the result of a lack of calcium In their food, which can be offset by feeding oyster shell, placing it before the birds In self-feeding hoppers; or, add about 5 per cent bone meal to their mash ra tlon. Lameness may also be caused by intestinal parasites. The only way to relieve intestinal parasites In hens is to give them worm capsules and follow this up In about six to eight hours with a dose of Epsom salts. It may be necessary to repeat the dose In about ten to twelve weeks’ time.—Montreal Herald. Fattening Cockerels The size of pen necessary to fatten 20 cockerels would be about 10 by 12 feet, providing the cockerels are from four to five pounds each. It is hard to tell how much It will cost to fatten the birds. Very much depends on one’s ability as a feeder and the constitu- tlon and vigor of the cockerels. The pen should he light ; there Is no objecl in having It dark. The birds will do better where they can have consider able sunlight, providing they are In confinement and the pen ventilated. Sanitary Poultry Houses Sanitation means a lot to some poul- trymen and not so much to others. We should use our common sense, declares a poultry expert at the North Carolina State college. Manure should not be 'flowed to accumulate on the dropping boards; litter should not become soggy and sour: drinking fountains should be cleaned one ■ a day and sterilized once a week ; el: an nests should ha the rule ata! the m alt hoppers should he craped out occasionally, especially In damp weather.
