THE FAME Of JOSEPHINE COUNTY AS A POULTRY
SECTION IS ENHANCED BY THE ILL-AHEE YARDS

United States was now carried on at
a loss, due to the price OF poultry
products not being as high In pro-
portion as feed aud labor. This.
however, does not mean that pro-
III cannot still be made on poultry.
but that TO do so. higher laying hens
must be used. Prof Dryden stated
that no hen that layed less than 100
eggs per year was profitable to
keep. and lntimated that the profit
line might be raised considerably
above this, lie said II was pa
triotic duty to keep high laying
hens: but that II was criminal
waste OF food values 10 keep any
hens that laid less than 100 aggs
per year-it was like robblng our
soldiers OF that much food. On the
other hand. the production OF eggs
by high layers helped supply the
hospitals and armies OF the allies.
Prof. Dryden pointed out that ar
niles cannot fight on vegetarian
diet. They must have meat. eggs
and milk. Keep your good layers.
and Kill the poor layers. was his ad-
vice.
Prof. Dryden stated that trap-nest-
Ing was the only accurate method OF
telling good from poor layers. but
that approximate selection could be
made In other ways.
The most striking thing brought
out during the whole demonstra-
ton however was the remarkable
proof given By the tabulated records
OF the Ill-A-Hee plant for the last
seven years. that egg laying ten
dency Is transmitted entirely from
sire to daughter and not at all In
the first generation from dam to
daughter.
Mr.. Epson exhibited tables which
concluslvely showed dominant egg
laying tendency Is not transmitted
from dam 20 daughter In chickens.
not In the Ill-A-Hee flock anyhow.
The immense importance OF this
fact to the poultry Industry as a
whole the commercial egg indus
try particularly-is that a poultrye
man who cannot take the time nor
20 to the expense OF trap-nesting
his flock. can depend upon getting
good layers right along by always
using sire with high average
egg record pedigree.
After the speaking program was
finished Mr.. Epson took the visitors
through his up-to-date plant, show
ed the methods OF handling. feed
ing. trap-nesting. and record keep
Ing. Many valuable pointers were
gotten by those In attendance upon
these points: and Prof. Dryden
complimented Mr.. Epson highly
upon the manasement OF the plant.
Altogether a most successful poultry
demonstration was held May there
be many more like IL.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made for
More economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
toodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest In the ma
lions history and today the agricul-
iural fields of America offer induce
nents that are unequalcd in any other
line of commerce or business. The
deal life Is that close to nature, en-
Toying the. freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
.ty by producing from fertile soil
hat which Is essential to the very eX-
.stence of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced SO eco
Aomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt
edly, will be maintained for number
Of years, and 1t appears Il certainty
that the agriculturist will reap
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. y wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to life on the Farm 1t has been,
to a large extent considered rs only
Il place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely ii comfortable existence Such
Il wrong impression has been created
i'm Il measure, by the lack of Systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given IL supremacy
in the business world and require the
line of commerce. In no other bust
ness does a system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is nU other line of work.
that. generally speaking, needs it as
much The old iden of getting Il living
off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum Of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming Is now being considered as
n business and living is not sufficient

per cent on the investment is not

have a percentag return equal to that

for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
in many places, that has reduced the
