CONSIDER PLAN TO
EDEN PRECINCT. Jan. 26. There
has been somo talk ot a meeting to
come to an agreement to patronize
the firms who have beon willing to
keep up the price of eggs. These
firms are back of the poultry men and
they should have the support of every
farmer. The price of feeds have, not
been reduced and the poultryman can
not sell his eggs too cheap, and feed
high priced grains. There is need of
cooperation between producer and re
tail men where such conditions exist.
Arthur Rose has a fine dairy herd
of some twenty cows and figures he
will be able to turn off a fat veal and
a fat hog every week through the
summer. ' Mr. Rose has bought hay
enough from C. Carey to run his cows
until hay cutting time. He has pur
chased some pure bred sires of both
hogs and cattle.
We who are interested in the rais
ing of poultry, feel quite proud of one
of ouriocol yards. That of E. C. Lock
wood of Phoenix. Mr. Lockwood sold
last week to one of the leading breed
ers white leghorns, in California, fifty
of bis pedigreed roosters. Mr. Lock
wood received five dollars apiece for
these birds. They were really worth
more, but this is the first big order
to go to California and Mr. Lockwood
made some concessions. However
BChould some of the poultry people
here buy one of these birds they would
pay double the price and think they
had secured a bargain.
There is much anxious speculation
over the renowed activity at the Tri
gonia nnd each one who has contrib
uted to the prospect well, is anxious
to Bee tho outcome. There must be
test wells put down if we are to know
if oil does exist in commercial quan
tities. There must be cash to further
tho work ir it is done. Most of the
wealth-producing industries in this
valley have been financed by outside
capital. This oil proposition may truly
be classed as work done by local capi
tal. Col. Mundy has been at the Job
for years and Is truly a real sticker. .
From the way the work Is proceed
ing on the highway we believe it pays
to put in a farmer or orchard man as
superintendent. There has been more
work accomplished in a given length
of time since thoy began work than
ever has been done on this highway.
There seems to be no killing of time.
The teams and men are out on time,

Many of us feel the expense ot paying
for the tiling hut when the work is
done It will add to the value of every

Like tho paving, we will be glad when
It is dona Tho drains will be real

many had neglected to provide for
themselves. "
