The forthcoming poultry institute
to be held under the auspices Of the
State Agricultural college will serve
q useful purpose II 1t has no other ef-
feet than TO direct attention to the
importance of the chicken business to
the community and Its possibilities
for expansion.
public in moro practical ways by
pointing out the most profitable varie
ties OF poultry in this locality and the
kind of food best adapted to their
needs.
There are many successful chicken
raisers in the Canon City district, but
the number might be multiplied a
score Of times without materially af-
fecting the home market for their pro-
duct. -.
That the poultry business is pay
ing one when given intelligent atten-
ton goes without saying, but, like
everything else, will result in failure
when left without proper guidance.
The raising of poultry is one of the
biggest Of American Industries. the
value of its marketable product
amounting to many millions Of dollars
every year.
1t is said that the income of the peo-
pie of the United States from the sale
Of chickens and eggs annually exceeds
the value of the wheat crop. which is
one Of the most important Of our ce-
real productions.
The growth OF the poultry business
In this country during the last quar-
ter OF a century has been one OF the
most marvellous features Of our indus
trial history. A generation ago 1t
was regarded as too little to enlist
attention, but since then people have
learned not "to despise the day of
small things" and the chicken Indus
try has grown like Jonah's gourd.
The institute to be held here on the
24th inst. will be the ninth that has
taken place in this state this year un-
der the supervision Of the Agricultu-
raj college, and II the ambition Of its
promoters is realized. will be the most
successful Of the series. The meeting

evening at which large crowd as
sembled to hear s: H. Atwater, pres

Railway and Transmission Power ,ine
companies, ]. S. Greene, irrigation ex-
pert, Directors Markham and Camp
bell talk about the project now under

ton and electric power for the Ar

Opposition offered to Kansas-Colorado
project is growing smaller each day.
Although there has not been, strict
ly speaking, any obstacles placed in
the way of the Kansas-C Colorado road
and transmission line, yet the fact
that Garden City and Finney county
citizens had previously promised their
support to a proposed steam road
from this place to Scott City, found
the people here with their hands tied
when the electric railway project
came along.
Favor Hullt Road.
However, the thing most desired by
the farmers in this vicinity Is power
cheap and convenient-to be used in
pumping the overflow waters for :rri-
cation purposes.
AS the steam road does not offer
this power, and at the same time the
promoters request the citizens to do
more for them than is asked by the
Kansas Colorado company this condi-
ton of affairs prompted E. F: Ander-
son to take the floor during the meet
ing last night and declare himself in
favor of putting the question straight
up to Mr.. Hulit.. "If Mr.. Hulit means
business when he says he will build
the electric road and the transmission
from Garden to Scott" declared Mr..
Anderson, "and do it II we will vote

DRY FARMING"
FOR GUMBO LAND
New System Will Make Fertile
the Semi-Arid Regions Of
South Dakota.

Pierre, s. d., Feb. 4.--State En-
gineer Lea has returned from the Dry
Farming congress" at Salt Lake City,
where he met a strong delegation
which was ready to show what could
be done with that manner or farm
ing in a country with a light rain
fall.
Mr.. Lea Is an enthusiast over irri-
cation and dry farming" and believes
that with the two systems there is no
reason why South Dakota should not
support a dense farming population,
using the irrigation plan where II is
convenient and not too expensive, and
the dry farming process where h Sc
curing OF water for irrigation Is not
practicable.
A soil with q small percentage OF
gumbo naturally lends itself to the dry
farming process, as 1t makes a dust
blanket OF itself when once broken and
will not require as much labor to pre-
serve the blanket as will be found In
a loan soil.
Both the republican and democratic
county committees of Stanley county
will meet at Midland on February 15
for the purpose of arranging for the
county primaries. Stanley will poll a
large vote this year. In past years the
democrats have been able to hold part
OF the office but the republicans now
say they will sweep everything because
of new population.

PIankinton, s. D.. Feb. LAS the
result Of a meeting held here 1t was de-
cided to organize a county option and

In addition to this the league viii
work for the enforcement of all ex-
listing laws for the regulation and sup
preston Of the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors, as well as the enactment Of
others OF like character. 1t will be
non-partisan in character and will use
its influence for the defeat OF all cand1-
dates for political office who are In

porting only those who r opposed to
the LIQUOR traffic regardless of what po-
Iitical party they belong to.
AT a business meeting the following
