were experts in things pertaining to
the feeding, growing and marketing
of poultry and in the raising OF
"fancy" stock. But the day Of the
purely fancy" birds is fast passing.
The prospective customer today is as
much interested in the ancestry OF
the birds, as to what they produced
in eggs, as they are in the shape and
plumage. And this is at 1t should be
in this day and age when the al
mighty dollar" holds such a large
place in our affections. Two years
ago "the valley" got behind an effort
to have a poultry show, with the re-
suit that we had a splendid affair.
Last year, because Of bad weather
and some Misunderstanding, our
poultry show was not success from
the financial standpoint. Our poultry
association officers have been quietly
working and planning for a better
poultry show this winter than the
two preceding ones, and are making
arrangements to emphasize the util-
ity branch Of our business. II we can

and women in the valley who are pro-
ducing poultry for eggs and meat

Attention, Poultrymen.

Attention, POultrymen.
Office of The Southern Oregon Poul-
try Association.
Greetings to Members:
Perhaps the impression has gone
out that the price of poultry feeds
has killed the poultry industry in this
valley. This is far from being the
case. The people with really good
poultry are more enthusiastic than
ever before. Undoubtedly the condi-
tions of the past few months have
forced many to give up their flocks,
and a lot of worthless egg producers
have found their last resting place
on the butchers counters. The breed
ers also have been culling their
flocks again and again, with the re-
suit that we never had as profitable
lot of poultry in the valley as at
the present time. Any doubters of
the above statement should have seen
the poultry exhibit at our Jackson
county fair, just closed. Those who
were in a position to know comment
ed again and again on the superior
quality of the birds on exhibition.
Some Of the birds after taking all the
best prizes in their class at our coun-
ty fair went up to the state fair at
Salem and competed with the best
birds in the state and brought home
the bacon"
The marked improvement in the
quality Of the poultry throughout the
valley is due in no small degree to
the efforts Of the Southern Oregon
Poultry Association, which has been
working and boosting for better poul-
try here in southern Oregon. We
have spent time and money conduct
ling poultry shows, getting men here
to lecture and visit our ranches, who

Clover Seed From
Sheep Pastge

Hon. G. L. Hawley, the well-known
Lincoln sheep breeder of Mccoy,
Ore, who has been growing clover in
that region for 35 years, asserts that
in the Willamette valley, where rain
did not fall in week or ten days
after cutting, there will be practically
no seed crop on clover that was CUT
for hay. With the ground unshaded
the clover neither grows much of a
hay crop nor do blossoms for a seed
crop set and mature.
On the fields pastured with sheep
it is different. Even where fairly
closely pastured, young sprouts are
constantly growing, and when the,
sheep are taken off, the ground is
shaded and the growth for seed
crop already has good start. Hence.
while the closer seed crop from hay
fields will be short, the pasture seed
crop promises large crop as usual

Make a scrapbook for SAMMY"

Make a Scrapbook for SAMMY"
Kipling set the vogue. in England
for Willing away dreary hours for
Sammy" by the scrapbook method,
and the idea has spread like wildfire.
This is how it's done, as told by
Chicago daily: "That favorite joke
of yours-that one that you split
your sides over, remember?-that IA
vorite comic cartoon, that scream Of
a story, that jest that you take home
and try out on your wife, and that
word of appreciation from you. all
these are going to go over and help
out our soldier boys in homesick
hours in camp or, possibly, in dreary
days in hospital. The aim is to get
something that is different from
books, something light that man in
hospital can hold up and look at
without extended mental effort. Such
books, filled with real American
jokes, comics, take-offs, and bit Of
sentiment with personal greetings
from the scrapbook maker will do
wonders for the men in Willing away
lonesome hours and making life
pleasant.

The Red Cross is issuing calls for
ration heaters. They are made Of
newspapers folded and pasted into
tight rolls ola certain size, then cut
and boiled in paraffin. They serve
to heat the food and drink Of the SOL

fort bags made for the men in serv-

needed and they are so simple that
children can make them. Directions
for making these heaters can, Of
course, be obtained from national

ing how they are made.

higher, observes the London Chronicle,
The rate Of interest decreased with
