A most marvellous tale: Joseph
Junette Missouri farmer, says he
will quit farming and educate ducks
to eat potatoe bugs. "A dollar a
day duck" is his motto. Just now
Mr.. Junette is enjoying an income
of SIS day from fifteen ducks
which he has trained to clear potato
patches of the little spotted pests.
He shut up the ducks in a pen, and
fed them on potato bugs exclusive
ly, after starving them until they
were glad to get the bug diet Jun
ette tried the first on his own potato
patch which comprised several acres.
The ducks went through the patch
like a neighborhood scandal. After
this Junette shut up the ducks so
they would net acquire taste for
other diet, and would be hungry
and able to earn their wages the
next time out. The ducks are in
great demand on the farms in Jun
cites neighborhood. Farmers are
glad to pay $3.50 an hour for the
services of the brigade. Junette
mas in sight an income of 800 week
from the fifteen ducks already edu-
,ated and thus employed.

county. The board raised the as
sessed value of land in Canyon
county ten per cent, making it
$15. SO per acre. The land last year
was assessed at SLIGO. The as
SCISSOR this year increased it 80 per
cent, making it $14.51 and now

THE EGG STORY

Do you believe the egg story?

the consumer faster than any other

Eggs have increased AZ per cent,
being 10 per cent higher than any
