Visits from Ketchikan.
Clarence Henning, who has been

ga. visited in Hermiston over the
week end where he taught for two
years prior to going to Alaska. He
plans to leave for Ketchikan Mon
day. June 29th. to work in the can
neries there during the summer,
where the population swells from
4500 in the winter to 6000 in the
summer, and Is known as the largest

Legion Auxiliary Notes.
Hermiston Unit No. 37 conducted
a most successful poppy sale this
vear under the leadership of Mrs.
W. L. Hamm. Poppies were sold on
the streets by local youngsters,
prizes being offered to those selling
the most poppies. First prize went
to Molly Anne Ripley of Hermiston
and second prize to Allan Hiatt of
Umatilla.
The last regular business meeting
was held at the club house June 25.
No absentee ballots will be accepted.
Only votes cast in the hall will be
counted.
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.

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
