.1. A. Fifer is a Medford visitor for
few days from Grenada. Ca!
I ' rror. c. t . Lamb, specialist in ex
tension work of the poultry depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural col
jlege will arrive In Medford tomorrow'
:to devote five days at various points
!in the valley to discussions of poul
try' husbandry in Its many phases.
'. He will speak at tho public library
hall Tuesday morning, beginning ut
j 10 o'clock, and will continue an open
I meeting all day. The professor calls
'this his "day school." Poultry rais
ers may take advantage of the all
day course, or, if business requires It
tiicy can divide the day between the
pjultry lectures nnd their business
' uffalrs.
I The instructions given by Prof.
Lamb on theso visits Is very valuable
to poultry raisers and especially so
lo tho beginners. Even though it
ho Mven to producers in old poultry
communities, tho modem methods
and tho marketing discussions will
ho found to be of great value. The
poulterers of this valley, however,
should begin with . tho elementary
features of tho husbandry and take
n thorough course, but at this tin
tho market question is particularly
important. The local poultry associa
tion is trying to solve it now. .
At this time, those questions which
are related Intimately to Incubation
and tho treatment or young chicks;
the caro of the young flock during
the summer months; the time to pro
duce chicks for the September egg
supply nnd tho .November or Decem
ber show; proper housing during the
chill months of winter; how to avoid
the sacrifice of eggs at 15 cents n
dozen and how to prevent extortion
ate demands In price at any time:
in short, how to regulate the produc
tion, as well as the market, and to
make poultry husbandry one of the
most profitable features of the by
products of the farm these will he
sonio of tho subjects discussed by
Prof. Lamb while here. Every poul
terer should hear him not only once,
but as many times as possible, dur
ing his stay and work.

Omar aroma! It's a racy yet smooth
