DAIRYMEN OF THREE COUNTIES
TO POOL THEIR PRODUCT?

A meeting of the Whatcom, Skagit
held Tuesday afternoon in Belling-
ham for the purpose of combining
the work of the dairymen of the three
counties so that the milk will be dis
posed of through but one agency.
While no definite conclusions were
reached at this meeting, another will
be held in the near future, when it
is expected that the proposition will
be decided. Six thousand cows in
Skagit county have been signed up by
the organization and it is hoped that
the entire number TO 5000 in this
county will be.

FORMER LYNDEN BOY BUYS
FARM AND PLANS RETURNING

Paul Johanson, who is now living

to return to Lynden very shortly.
In a letter received this week at
The Tribune office, he says
Z 81 expect to be with you all some
time in the near future, having al

8 miles west of Lynden.
Although the climate is fine down

money a little better in this new dis

longing to get back to Lynden which
always has seemed like home to us. !"

LYNDEN LEGHORNS
LEAD ALL IN PROFITS
Government Experts Report That
Breed Scores In Tests As Most
Profitable In Poultry World

Lynden White Leghorns have a
right to crow just a little bit louder
than other fowl, as a result of an an
nouncement made this week by the
United States Department of Agric-
ulture.
Leghorns, declares the department,
produce eggs cheaper than hens of
the general purpose breed-Plym-
outh Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Is
land Reds. and Orpingtons. This
fact, which confirms the belief and
experience of commercial poultry
farmers, was one of the results OBJ
tanned in a rather extensive feeding
test reported by poultrymen of the
Department.
Because they lay as many or more
eggs, eat only about 55 pounds of
feed per head, as compared with 20
to S5 pounds eaten by the general
purpose breeds, and because their
egg yield very materially exceeds
that of general-purpose breeds dur
ing their second and third laying
years, Leghorns, the specialists say,
undoubtedly are more profitable to
keep for the production of eggs only.
In this test the feed cost of a dozen
eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was
7.34 cents in 1913, while the average
cost of all hens of the general pur-
pose breeds was 100 cents. In 1914
the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the
as against an average cost of 15.1
cents for the second laying year of
the general purpose hens. During
their third laying year the cost of
dozen eggs was S.S cents compared
to 1876 cents for the general-purpose
fowls. The total value of eggs per
pen for three years was $6.S4 against
$4.30 for the general purpose hens.
The highest egg production obtained
in any of the feeding experiments
up to 1915 was by pen of Leghorns
which laid 1876 eggs per hen, at a
feed cost of 6.7 cents a dozen.
The Leghorns produce smaller
eggs than the general-purpose breeds.
The average weight of the eggs of
a pen of Leghorns during the first
laying year was 1.42 pounds per doz-
en- as against 1.53 to 1.5S pounds for
the other pens. However, Leghorns
laying eggs weighing $50 pounds a
dozen or even more, the specialists
say, have been selected and bred by
many poultrymen. An examination
in May. 1915, of 500 eggss from three
Leghorn pens showed that 81 per
cent weighed more than 2 ounces
each, or 1.5O pounds to the dozen.
The value per dozen of the eggs
produced by the Leghorns was from
l to cents less each year than the
eggs of the general purpose hens,
difference due to the fact that the
other breeds are far better win
ter layers than the Leghorns. while
the latter give a higher production
in the spring and sumner. Very few
Leghorns become broody which prob
ably materially affects their egg pro-
duction as compared with the general
purpose breeds. Better fertility in
the eggs, especially with stock con-
fined to the yards, is more often Sc
cured with the Leghorns than with
the general purpose or any OF the
heavier breeds.

The quota for Whatcom County
according to the figures prepared by
the governors office, is 154. This
is for the district outside of Belling-
ham. Bellingham' quota is only Az
having been reduced because of the
great number of enlistments in the
National Guard.
The fairness of the apportionment
of 154 men to the country district
is being questioned by some, and the
governors office has been asked to
investigate.
The first sos men whose numbers
were drawn in the lottery will be
notified late this week to appear be-
fore the county board for physical
examination at the boards offices
in the jury room at the Whatcom
County courthouse. One-third of the
3OS men will receive notice to
appear for examination on the fifth
day after the notifications are mail
ed. one third on the sixth day there
after. and one-third on the seventh
day.
Men drafted have seven days to
file statements of exemption after
they have appeared before the ex-
amining board. Three affidayits,
made on blanks furnished by the
board, must be presented t. them
within the seven day period. One OF
these affidavits must be signed by
the person drafted, one by his wife
or alleged dependent, and the third
by an acquaintance of the man. Each
affidavit must substantiate the other.
In cases where exemption is claimed
because of a dependent or dependents
the affidavit must show the actual
sum contributed by tho drafted man
to the dependent or dependents. eX-
elusive of gifts. This support must
be through actual labor, not through
income.
If the claim of person drawn for
military service, for discharge or ex-
emption from such service is duly
made, with proof, to the local ex-
emption board, and this board re
fuses to grant discharge or exempt
ion. the person drafted can then ap-
peal to the district appeal board. The
only exception to this rule is that no
claim of discharge on account OF the
industry in which one is engaged can
be decided by local board. 1t must
be sent direct to the ---.rict board.
The local exemption board will fur
nish the proper blank affidavits nee
essary in presenting proof to the ap-
peal exemption board. Only the de-
cisions of district boards can be ap-
pealed. These appeals must be made
to the president of the United States.
