FARM BUREAU
Notes for Week Ending Sept. "A.

Many farmers contemplate reducing
their poultry flocks this coming winter
because Of high price Of feed. In face OF
the reduced cold storage holdings and a
higher price for eggs, there is a question
about the wisdom of such a course.
There is no question, however, but what
the average farmer is feeding many hens
which do not lay enough to pay for their
keep. These hens should be sold from
the flock before they cause further loss.
Culling out the Improbable hen is one
Of the ways we can help both ourselves
and the country. To help poultry keep
ers to do this intelligently, a series Of
culling demonstrations have been ar
ranged for next week from Monday to
Saturday in different parts of the coun-
ty. Below is given partial schedule
and local notice will be given Of the rest.
These demonstrations will be given by
A. L. Smith, poultry specialist from the
u. S. department of agriculture. The
method used is simple and has been prov
en- an effective one. II at all interested
