NEW CHAUTAUQUA PLAN

A plan to unite towns in buying
chautauqua courses has been formed at
the University of Minnesota and will
be managed with the lecture and ly-
ceum work of the general extension d.
vision of the university. The plan was
made in an effort to reduce the cost of
chautauqua courses and to make a
course possible for every town Of con-
siderable size in the state. The plan
calls for an association of Independent
chautauquas which will buy the same
courses to be given at about the
same time. The reform in the chau.
tauqua work has been attempted to
try to increase the educational value
Of the meetings. Inquiries concerning
the plan may be addressed to the Gen
cral Extension Division, University Of
Minnesota.

EARLY HATOE3IsG BRINGS
WINTER EGGS
A Simple Way for Poultry Owners to
Profit from High Prices in Fall
and Winter

Washington, D. C.-Early ha1@a:ng
is the secret of winter egg production,
say specialists in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The pullet that is
Matched early natures early and is
ready to lay eggs in the fall when the
supply is scarcest and prices highest.
Chickens that are expected to be revc-
nue. producers for their owners later
in the year should be out of their shells
by April 80 at the latest. If they arc
properly cared for thereafter they will
begin to lay eggs at the very time that
eggs are most wanted.
To q great extent the pOultrymen of
the country have overlooked this sim
pie fact. For one thing, birds hatched
later in the spring or summer are not
inclined to become broody until late
the following season and thus all en-
profitable circle is formed. Each year
pullets mature too late to produce III:
the fall and winter, and they SIT too
late for their offspring to do any bet
ter. The poultryman who wishes to-
get really good returns from his flock
must break this circle.
The growing use of incuhators has
made this comparatively easier. There
Is no reason why lncubatOrs snonn no!
be filed in March and early April and
the Matching over before May L. If
no incubator is available it Hav be
possible to secure broody hens IN the
!! neighborhood. That they will repay
the trouble and expense necessary to
obtain them, is indicated by results at
the government poultry farm in Mary
land. There it is not unusual to get q
daily average OF one egg for every Eve
hens throughout the fall and winter.
and in some pens the average has been
as high as one egg Aor three hird>i II
anything like this percentage could be
obtained on farms, the ordinary pou1-
try farmer would derive real benefit
from the high prices which eggs in
variwbly bring for period OF several
months.

Federation Would Have Record Oh

That the register Of deeds in coun-

land for sale or rent is the oninion ex-
pressed by the Minnesota Federation
Of Farmers clubs and adopted in it's
resolutions at a recent meeting at Uni
versity farm, St. Paul. A law requir-
ing the register of deeds to keep a rec
ord of land offered for sale or rent, on
the payment of a small fee of not more
than 81 for each piece of land listed,
was asked for bv the federation. The
difficulty of persons finding lands they
want to buy or rent and the difficulty
Of renters or sellers finding customers
is the reason for the request. The reg
istration would need to be renewed
yearly, according to the plan favored.
