My Garden.

All full of hollyhocks
And columbine and foxgloye
And white and scarlet phlox.
And dainty sweet alyssum,
Where hover swarms of bees:
And swaying, graceful peoples,
And fragrant. shy sweet peas
The hummingbirds, like Jewels,
Flash cleaning to and fro
Ger beds of modest pansies
And daisies In row. 3.

The chase for wealth and fame,
But give old age the garden,
Each quiet day the same.

HIGH SCHOOL T0 PROMOTE EGC x LAYING CONTEST FUR FARMERS

'~ egP 'aving contest, the purpose Of which will be 10 promote poultry in ~,..,.., m the Salt River valley. k to be conducted under the auspices of the Phoenix High school agricultural de- partment. starting February l, if pres eut plans carry. An entry list 'Of at least 10 is desired to insure the success of the undertaking.
 Poultrymen from all sections of the valley are invited to enter birds in this contest. which will be the first of it's kind ever held in Arizona. The idea is to determine by trapuest records. the best laying hens and from these hens tO breed high-class poultry. II is only by such methods it is claimed, that the actual performance of each hen can be determined.
 The plan as outlined by Professor Cambee Of the high school agricultural department is as follows five hens will consist of an entry. The exact records of these hens twill be kept by the trapnest method. To the entry es- tablishing the best record. suitable prizes will be awarded
 The contest will open February lst. continuing for period of four months until May 3l. This Is known as a short term period. but inasmuch as the con test was late in starting. it was thought best to make it one of short duration.
 On the success of this. the first con- test, will depend whether or not they will be continued. Professor Gambee is hopeful that similar contests can be held annually. IL is the only possibie methods of elevatins the poultry breed. he stated.
 The rules to govern the contest are as fOllows:
 l-Ihe Phoenix Union High school eGg-laying contest will start February l. i917 closing May Si l9l7
 2-All trapnest records of eggs pro- duced. all records of feed consumed egg weights, cost of feed etc. wl be in
 .ge ol tne nigh school agricultural depa rfmenf.
Arizona republican., 1916-12-11

3-Each entry will consist of five hens 4 substitute hen being allowed in case some one of tho others be- comes sick and incapaeiiated for lay ing.
 4-An entrant may. ii he wishes, en- tered a male bird with tle hens and purchase eggs for setting NBrposes as per rule ,.
 5-All egs produced vii become the property of the high school agricultural department and will De sold t0 help de- fray expenses connected with the con test. Those entrants who enter male birds. however win have the privelege Of securing eggs from their pen at 50 cents per setting of l. eggs providing they contract for them three weeks in advance.
 6-.No entry fee will be charged. The infringement reserves the right Co refuse any or all entries.
 The nagement reserves the right to clip one wing of all fowls prov inA to be troublesome to yard.
 S-The management will take all reasonable precauiiOn to protect the pens from disease and loss but will as- sume no responsibility 1T such losses or disease occur
 9-No entrant may withdraw during the progress of the competition.
 lH-1he contest vii bc decided by the number of marketable eggs pro- duced.. Eggs weighing less than l and one-third ounces win be considered marketable
 lI-Ail pens will be housed. fed and cared for alike. f'
 The following are few facts and suggestions as set forth by Mir Gam bee.
 H The initial step in preparing for the contest was taken early last fall with the hope that it could be started in NOyember..the most desirable time. Due to delays. however ii will not be possible to start until about the first of Feb. 1917. On account of this X has been thought best to run q short con-

 bl The purpose of the contest is To stimulate an interest in improving the poultry of this country. ii is a known fact that the only real way to improve poultry and 70 get good results is to trapnest. q method that requires much care and labor. l. is the idea ol the Nricultural department of the High school to do this trapnesting and then return q pen of hens t0 its owner with an in1ividaal record for each. ile>will then have some. from which he can bred and hope to get good results. II is felt that this will give the poulirymcn ol the valley d wonderful chance to Improve their floCks. Besides this it is hoped that the department may be able to get results worth while in connec- ton with feeding. Records will be k1ht on an important phages. snch as. 1. Egg production of cacb fo~yl. 2. Cost Of feed per pen. 8. Weight of eggs Amount of feed consumed per pen. These records will be published month iy if not oftcner.
