CHICKS INCREASE BY
50 SINCE PURCHASE
EARLY LAST SPRING
In early spring Mrs. Frank T.
Morgan purchased 1200 White Leg
horn baby chicks. She counted them
the other day and was astounded to
find she had 1250. The situation was
alarming. Had the neighbors chick
ens joined the flock?
Then Mr. Morgan recalled that at
the time of buying the chicks from
the hatchery, the owner stated that
he ought to sort the consignment
and remove the imperfect chicks.
Farm duties were numerous and the
sorting was postponed.
As a result the flock is larger by
50 young chickens. Better still, they
seem to have outgrown any imper
fections they might have had.

potatoes to feed the world.
Chas. Garrison Is shipping an excel

Garrison's spuds are yielding about

Although prices are not high, they

F. A. BANKS GUIDES IMPORTANT
SUB-COMMITTEE ON TRIP OVER
OWYHEE; DELEGATION HONOR
ED AT LUNCHEON IN ONTARIO.
Two million five hundred thousand
dollars for the Owyhee, is the hope of
the Idaho and Oregon delegation In
congress, Senator Frederick Steiwer of
Oregon told The Journal yesterday. He
and Congressman R. R. Butler were
members of the party who accompanied
the Important sub-committee on appro
priations on the Inspection of Owyhee
and Vale irrigation projects Tuesday
and Wednesday. Engineer F. A. Banks
escorted the party.
From talks at the luncheon at the
Moore hotel In Ontario yesterday. It Is
gleaned that congressmen are agreed
that it is more important to conserve
ample water for existing projects than
build new ones; that work on Malheur
projects must proceed; that the recla
mation fund Is short and another loan
must be secured; that the entire party
was greatly impressed by productivity of
the Snake river valley.
Senator Steiwer and E. C. Van Pet-
ten, toastmaster, welcomed the con
gressmen, several of whom are from
eastern states where there Is no recla
mation. Their Interest Is the appropria
tion of money to worthy business of the
federal government.
Although Congressman Butler ad-
dressed the group at luncheon but brief-
ly, he told The Journal that he greatly
enjoyed the trip to Owyhee dam. “A
year ago excavation for the foundation
was in progress,” he said, "and today
Mr. Banks showed us a great dam that
rises to within 140 feet of the top of the
canyon. It is an impressive sight and
a beautiful structure.”
Senator John Thomas, author of the
loan bill that assured work this year.
In a stirring talk, urged “ that not a
drop of water be wasted in the west.
Build new reservoirs," he said.
A Democrat In the party, an excellent
speaker, was Edward D. Taylor, con
gressman from Colorado many years.
He told of the work of the department
of the Interior. He Introduced Frank
Murphy of Ohio, chairman of the com
mittee, W. W. Hastings of Oklahoma,
R. F. Walker chief engineer, who was
present owing to the fact that Commis
sioner Elwood Mead was called back to
Washington. J. F. Bailey, assistant dir
ector of the budget; and W. A. Duvall,
clerk.
Burton L. French and Addison T.
Smith of Idaho made addresses as
friendly and cordial to Owyhee and
Vale as the declarations of Oregon con
gressmen.
Representative Luce of Massachusetts
gave the closing talk and departed from
the keynote of tire meeting by stating
“ the west needs no succor from the
east.” He remarked upon the apparent
prosperity of western agriculture and
business.
Other notables at the meeting were
