CELEBRATE JULY 4th with HERMISTON On. ---- ....--- :-------- _ --- VOLUME XXX . JACKSON OPERATES MODERN POULTRY HOUSE. Home and Farm Equipped With Modern Conveniences; Poultry Revenue Assured. An example of modern electrifi- cation of farm and home is found upon a visit to the 40-acre tract which Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Jackson have operated tor the past 27 years in the Minnehaha district, four miles southwest of Hermiston. Their poultry houses are lighted by elec tricity and water is pumped to them through pressure made possible by an electric motor; they have an electric stove, refrigerator, radio, iron, and a pressure storage tank in the basement to furnish running water tor domestic use in the home. Two acres of the forty is planted to melons each year, ten acres to hay and other acreage to diversified farming crops. Six dairy cows are maintained to furnish another source of income. The main industry on the Jack- son farm is the poultry with 800 laying hens, confined to the laying house during the entire year, ex cept for a few days in the fall dur ing house cleaning period. At this time the 800 hens are culled to around 400 cutting out the older hens showing signs of drop in pro duction, making it easier to handle the hens on the range. House cleaning activities consist of the removal of the dropping boards and roosts to the creek where they are scrubbed thoroughly; wash ing of the floors and walls and re placement of chaff and straw in the nests and on the floor. After this scrubbing the house is sprayed with a disinfectant to make it sanitary for the young pullets which replace the culled stock. These house cleaning activities play an important part in the poul try business by keeping down dis ease in the young pullets and invig orating the older laying hens. The culling period is an opportune time for this movement. Each year the Jacksons purchase 1000 day old chicks and raise the pullets to place in the laying house and the cockerels for the fryer mar ket. The cockerels, when sold at eight weeks, find a good market at between 1% and 2 pounds. The revenue from these cockerels aids in placing the pullets in the laying house. The Jackson flock of White Leg horns is not forced at any time and is allowed to rest during the molt ing period. By this method the Jack- sons believe the mortality is less and the average egg production of the flock is higher throughout the year. The production from hens over three years of age is too uncertain to keep them among the laying flock, so they are culled. The laying house has four units, each 24x24, with a capacity for 200 hens. The walls are of double con struction and ventilating system permits air to circulate below the roosts, lifting the foul air to the es capement through the roof ventila tors. The slide windows are covered with muslin, used both winter and summer, and are adjustable. No heat is required in winter. Running water is supplied In the houses and is administered through containers adjusted by a float. When the water gets near the top and there is danger of an overflow, the float rises and closes the en trance through which the water drips. With this system there is no excessive moisture to breed disease in the laying house. The baby chicks are kept in two brooder houses, with a capacity of 500 each, until they are old enough to range. Can nabal ism was almost entirely eliminated this year by ap plying a non-pick solution when the chleks were only, a few days old. Another modern feature to the Jackson set-up la a 6x8 egg packing room In the basement. This room has Insulated walla and keeps an average temperature of between 40 and 45 degrees both winter and summer, preventing deterioration in Heraln —--- - ---------------------------------- --------------------- ,___ __ __ __ __ - ------------- NUMBER 42 MODERN FARM .

OREGON'S OWN SENATOR FINAL PLANS ON FOURTH OF DAIRY COWS TIE FOR FIRST KEYNOTER AT CONVENTION • Senator Frederick Steiwer, who was the keynoter at the national republican convention in Cleveland, was elected U. S. Senator in 1926, succeeding Senator R. N. Stanfield. Senator Steiwer was then practicing law in Pendleton. • where he had lived since his entry into the pro fession from the law school. He was born near Salem, gradu ated from O. S. C. and the Univer sity of Oregon law school at Eugene, to enter the World War in 1917, and served in France as second lieu tenant. The Steiwer family is of pioneer stock and is well known in both eastern and western Oregon. The senator married Miss Frieda Roesch of Pendleton, and they have a son and daughter and one grandchild. In 1932, during the democratic landslide for Roosevelt, he was the only western republican senator re turned to congress. The signal of honor as keynoter was given him by the national re publican committee because of his prominence acquired through speech es on political issues throughout the eastern states. He was mention ed many times during late weeks as a possible dark horse for president. His keynote address was commented on in high terms throughout the na tion as analytical of the present political issues and suggestive for platform and campaign argument for the republican national cam campaign. His phrases in the speech repeat ed often “Three Long Years.” was soon Written into a campaign song for the convention, and may be used throughout the coming campaign.

Cherry season is now on at the McNealy orchards near Patterson, says George T. McNealy who was in town today. He states that his yield will be 50 tons on 15 acres. Four acres have been picked and the yield is 14 weighed tons delivered at Grandview, with the remainder of the orchard, with heavier pros pects. Fifty pickers were at work today and Mr. McNealy is hiring more. His orchard has not been touched by recent showers that have affected many other districts now with ripe cherries, causing a heavy percent of split culls. The price has not been establish ed, but will likely range from ten cents per pound to a possible 14 cents for choice lots. One thousand dollars per acre with such yields and price is not improbable accord ing to the reports received. Purdy Brooder Burns. MISS ARLYNE CLARK BECOMES Cox Car Wrecked.
