THE EGG INDUSTRY

The poultry industry in Lynden
territory at the present time is pro-
ducing something like quarter of a
million dollars annually, according
to careful estimates. In other words,
the chicken business which a few
years ago was merely sideline OF
the LINDEN farmers wife, has now
attained such proportions that it is
bringing in each year nearly half as
much as the dairy industry.
The phenomenal increase in the
poultry activities of the district have
led many to predict that within ten
years, Lynden will be synonymous
with Petaluma in the Pacific Coast
poultryman's vocabulary. How Pet
aluma, the great California egg GEN.
tire, developed is narrated in an in
teresting account this week in the
following suggestive article from the
Washington Farmer:
First, and probably foremost, a
favorable climate. The average tenn
perature is neither very high nor
very low. In summer it ranges about
20 to so degrees and rarely over 80
The winter temperature ranges about
80 and so. though occasionally there
is slight frost. There is moderate
rainfall and plenty of sunshine. The
mildness of the climate makes the
housing cost low. The colony houses
that are characteristic of that cOun-
try cost to build about $3.50 per hun
dred hens.
Second, feed at reasonable prices is
possible on account of great guam
titles that are handled. One dealer
had done a business last year of ST.
600, 900 in feed, and his commission
for handling it was only 3 per cent
Third, cheap transportation for
feed and supplies as we'll as for eggs
on account of both rail and water
transportation encouraged the indus
try.
Fourth, soil conditions are good
Fifth, the credit given by local
dealers is an important factor, a big
help to the poultrymen. The credit
On the books of the merchants of
Petaluma has amounted at times to
$1,5O0,000. This has enabled many
poultrymen to lay in supplies of feed
in quantity and at time when feed
is cheap.

STRANGLING BEAUTY

Lynden's billboard ordinance CIV
ing property owners the right to say
whether or not they want the un-
slightly advertising signs along their
street, seems to have been year a
head of the times. The United States
Supreme Court only this month dec
cided that citizens had such rights.
Most good people earnestly hope
that the legislature will take adj
vantage of this decision to prohibit
motley posters and riotous billboards
that are spotting up the beautiful
highways of the State. Many a fine
prospect in Whatcom County is sui
lied by a tin sign advertising tob'
acco or toothbrushes or teas.

We have yet to see one comment
favorable to the building f the
Marietta Bridge that did not come
from the Bellingham dailies. Every
paper in the county that has com
mented on the proposition has been
against it. Commissioners Mcmillan
and Slater are supporting the move
ment and we can not say for sure
the attitude of Mr.. Shagren on the
matter. but do not believe that he
favors the prject. Some influence
should be brought to bear to stop
the project before it is too late.

COTTON FREE zONE:
 ON MEXICAN SIDE
 PLAN OF TEXANS
Delegation of Growers Ad- vocate This Method of Stopping the Pink
 Boil Worm

Washington, July Z-Representatives of south Texas cotton growers recom- mended to department of agriculture of fieials today that arrangements be made for cotton free zone along the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, rather than the American, to keep the pink boil worm from spreading from Mexico to the United States. Little cotton is grown on the Mexican side, they said.
 The growers explained, however, they will consent to establishment of the contemplated cotton free zone along the Rio Grande in Texas as a last resort in combating the boil worm, although abandonment of the cotton crop would mean heavy loss to farmers.
 It was said 24,0e0 acres is in cotton this year in Hidalgo and Cameron coun- ties, Texas, the territory which would be chiefly affected. Representatives of dry farmers farther north declared it would be a hardship for them to give up cotton.
 Representatives of the Texas state de-
