The storage reservoir for irriga tion water falls 9000 feet short of normal supply at the same time last year, making the irrigation season at least two weeks short of normal ly. E. D. Martin, district manager, says that with careful cooperation of farmers with the district ditch rider and manager, it is possible to conserve on reservoir storage water by using the river water whenever possible. Because of this the service may be a little slow but will be more apt to assure a longer irrigation season. Late crops such as corn and mel- ons will need irrigation water in the fall to mature.

II JUNE 25. 1936. Some contusion seems to exist as to whether or not Columbia park is a public park. It is in the fullest sense of the word. The park is maintained by the ❖ Farm Bureau and at all times is open to individuals or orga ❖ nizations wishing to use its facilities. Last year an outdoor stove or fireplace was added, but or ganizations wishing to use the facilities of the club house, should make arrangements with the Farm Bureau Auxil iary. The club house, property of the Auxiliary, is separate from the park. Outside of a man who does the irrigating and cutting of the alfalfa, there is no care- ♦ taker. and individuals or orga- nizations holding picnics at the park are asked to see that ♦ grounds and tables are left in ♦ a clean condition. Members of the Columbia park board issued the above statement. 442402*%% HOME WEDDING UNITES YOUNG COUPLE SUNDAY MORNING Baskets of regal lilies, holly hocks and garden flowers against a back ground of green foliage made a charming setting for the marriage of Miss Marian Henderson, daughter of Mrs. Wallace Wesiey Henderson, and Howard Eugene Petit, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Petit of Oregon City, Oregon.

DUAL POULTRY MARKET BECOMING MORE POPULAR NORTH HILL DISTRICT IDEAL FOR POULTRY. Turkeys, Fryers and Laying Hens Assure Definite Year Around Income to Farmers. The business of raising fryers for the market at regular intervals dur ing the year and turkeys for the fall and winter market is definitely be coming more popular in the Hermis ton territory where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for the poultry industry. W. A. Sanders In the North Hill district and Mrs. Marvel Allen of Columbia district are carrying out this procedure. In March Sanders sold 500 fryer cockerels and later put in 400 tur key poults. In February they pur chased 800 White Leghorn pullets from the Henacres Hatchery, which will occupy the laying house, now being cleaned and disinfected. In May the Sanders sold their 500 lay ing, hens in order to allow time to clean and disinfect the houses for the young pullets coming on for fall laying. In this way their income has been steady and will be assured this fall with the laying hens in the houses. Sanders realizes at least a $2500 gross income each year from both chickens and turkeys. The chickens pay their way and what is made from the sale of turkeys is consid ered profit or extra income. The young cockerels are force fed and ready for the fryer market from six to eight weeks and after they are out of the brooder house and off the range the chicks intended for the laying house use are placed in the brooder house. Later the turkey poults are put in the brooder houses as soon as the pullets are old enough to range, without the need of brood- er stoves, and in this way the brood- house equipment is utilized near- ly every month In the year. The Sanders have invited a mar- ket for turkey broilers sold at the age of from two to three months which comes before the turkey mar ket and a little late for fryers. At this time the birds are fat and tend er and perfect for broilers and the meat used in chicken sandwiches served In many restaurants now is known to be turkey meat. It Is be lieved that this market can be de veloped. Sanders veteran Producer. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders have been in the poultry business for the past ten years, starting first with 1200 turkeys. Later they put in chickens and built a 24x50 house with con crete floor, sliding window glass, roof ventilators, running water, and straw between the rafters held up by tar paper Later another similar house was built making a capacity for more than 800 laying hens. They have 40 acres of the North Hill re gion which is very sandy land. They regard this soil condition as excel- lent for poultry growing, About their place are many shade trees and the poultry, both turkeys and chickens are allowed to range, hut are kept apart in widely separated fields. They raise some corn but buy practically all their feed, except green alfalfa or grain. Allen Enters Field. Mrs. Marvel Allen is another grower who has sold 2000 cockerels on the fryer market this spring af ter feeding for six weeks at which time each bird weighed an average of two pounds, sold at 16 cents per pound Purchased from Henacres Hatchery in March the birds were all sold by the second week in June at top price with only 18 culls show ing up out of the 2000. Two thousand strong and healthy turkey poults now occupy the Allen brooder house. Mrs. Allen hopes to make the Christmas market with these late birds and i will add 500 Rnode island Red chicks soon to feed for the fryer market, another way of keeping the brooder houses In use during the major part of the season Mrs. Allen leased the place she now occupies In Columbia district early this spring and with the help of her daughter Beverley looks af- birds and invr ates pro pective markets.
