In one shipment of poultry and eggs
5O5 contributors pooled their produce.
Most Of them were small producers,
contributing only a few chickens and
two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate
interest $25 prize was offered for the
largest load, IS for the largest single
amount produced by the contributor.
IS for the heaviest hen and s. for the
heaviest rooster. The heaviest hen
weighed eight pounds and the heaviest
rooster ten pounds. The largest single

largest load brought sl32.25. The whole
shipment amounted to $1,958.20. It
went to Tennessee point and was the
first cooperative carload Of poultry

Arizona 10 Feeding Herself.


An "All-Arizona" luncheon given at
the recent state fair at Phoenix, Ariz.,
furnished valuable proof that the Cop
per state Is able to live up to her slo-
gan, adopted when war was declared.
"Arlzona will feed herself" The
luncheon was prepared and served by
the home demonstration agents Of the
State university. cooperating with the
United States department Of agricul-
ture; 1t was an agreeable surprise to
the people unfamiliar with the agricul-
tural resources Of the state. Products
Of all but two Of the fourteen counties
were represented In the menu. The
foods provided included grapes, dates,
figs and other fruits; potatoes, carrots,
tomatoes, peas, milk-fed chickens. Mar
lcopa butter. bread made from local
wheat and milo maize. olives. peanuts
and honey. Coffee from Hawaii was
the only substance grown outside the
state given place on the menu.
For months the county agricultural
agents have been making a special
drive for more and better home gar.
dens and the use Of homegrown
cereals. The home demonstration
agents have concentrated their efforts
on demonstrating the use Of kafir corn
as substitute for wheat -four and Of
corn sirup and honey as substitute
for cane sugar.

Some ThInos the Food Law Did.

Reviewing the ten years In which the
federal food and drugs act has been
in operation, the annual report Of the
bureau Of chemistry. United States de-
partment Of agriculture. says the law
has done much to safeguard milk I'M
porteddrom Canada or shipped In in
terstate commerce; to control the traf-
fc in polluted oysters and practically
to stop the traffic In decomposed
canned fish; to lessen the shipment Of
decomposed canned beans and shell
eggs; and to decrease the manufacture
Of foods from refuse materials, CORE
spondingly improving the sanitary con-
ditions In food factories.
Ten years ago, the report says, much
of the baking powder and gelatin and
some Of the confectionery was contain
mated with small quantities Of lead Or
arsenic. This II not the case today.
The coloring Of canned peas with
copper and the use Of a number Of dan.
gerons preservatives have been sup.
pressed. The act also has made IL
possible to control a number Of other
practices more or less dangerous to
health.

his position being considered an in
