VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.

WINCHESTER, Va, February 2-Of-
ficers and directors representing most
of the agricultural fairs of Virginia
met few days ago in Staunton. abol-
ished the old Virginia fair circuit and
organized the Virginia Association of
Fairs. under whose auspices all county
fairs in the state will be held. The
state was divided sinto four circuits
under the one direction. II. B. Watkins
OF Danville was elected president, and
c. 3. Ralston of Staunton. secretary
and treasurer. Vice presidents were
also elected. 1t was decided to elimi-
nate all questionable exhibitions and
fakirs and work to make the fairs
more educational
The Winchester apple market. which
is usually brisk and active at this sea =
son. is practically at a standstill this
winter, with few shipments being made
on account of the uncertainty of deliv-
cry and also because of the cold
weather.
w. Ray Smith, formerly of Winches-
ter. but for the past three years agent
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
Staunton, has been promoted to chief
train dispatcher at Brunswick. Md. He
has been in the railroad service thirty
seven years and has good record.
A number Of Frederick county farm
ers. in town today, reported that they
feared a great deal of damage had been
done to the young wheat by the recent
variable weather. EXAMINATIONS made
in many fields showed. it was stated.
that the moderate weather of last week
melted the ice which covered the
ground and then froze again. thus
creating a heated condition beneath the
ice. which resulted in scalding the
growing grain. Somewhat similar re-
ports. it is recalled, were circulated
about a year ago. but the wheat crop
last summer in the Shenandoah valley
was almost up to the average, although
there was short growth of straw.
Mac A. Meredith and Miss Ina Lee
Rice, both of Franklin Grove, ILL.,, were
married here day or two ago by the
Rev George S. Bowers Of Grace Lu-
theran Church. after the groom had
met the bride half way Miss Rice came
east recently to visit relatives at Har-
risonburg. and the groom was visiting
his old home at Mercersburg. Pa. Each
place is sixty-eight miles distant from
Winchester, so this city was decided
upon as the scene of the wedding. The
groom almost failed to get here. as he
figured in train wreck at Martinsburg.
while the train bearing the bride was
delayed by a snowstorm.
Henry S. Baker. jr., has cabled his
parents here of his safe arrival in Eng
land with the hospital ambulance unit

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

failure strike. Not the finest flock in
the country. nor the best equipped
There are three factors TO observe
under this head:
Your Flock-Get a flock that you
want this flock to do: study the vari-
Gus breeds and strains, and select for
your purpose. Are you after eggs?
Keep your eye on the leghorn. A white
leghorn holds the worlds record as a
layer. but they don't do well on the
table. Are you after meat? Watch the
brahmas, cochins. orpingtons. Capons
from these breeds ought to weigh
even more. Are you after good all
round fowl? Plymouth rocks. reds.
wyandottes. all are good When you
are selecting your flock. use your i'm
agination. Imagine yourself standing
by your chicken yard with your next
door neighbor, Think what YOU would
like to be able to say to him about
your flock. Then choose a flock con-
things. A mongrel flock is the most
efficient zeaI-destroyer in the poultry
business.
Your House.-Four things to be con-
sidered in this regard: Heat, light.
ventilation and cleanliness These
items are easily dealt with in summer.
when the house be thrown wide
open and the flock remain outside all
sity at this season. Lice and disease
germs revel in a dirty henhouse. Sum-
mer is their favorite season. Starye
them by cleanliness. In winter there
are real housing problems. And they
must be met. for a frosted comb. a wet
/ floor. drafty roost. will spoil prize
bird for life, Build your house for
winter conditions. south or south-
east exposure will enable you to take
advantage of the sunlight. This sun
| heats more than We suspect. and
through a window with all panes solid.
will do much TO keep: the house COM
Portable and dry on otherwise uH-'
pleasant days Muslin is good for ven.
tilation, shutting out cold. but letting
in air. -
Your Feeding.-Reckon this from two
points of view First: What will meet
the needs of my flock? Second: How
can | most economically provide this?
Always remember that the first ques-
| tion is first in Importance. 1t is false
economy 10 underfeed or to unwisely
feed. just because some kind of grai1,
| is cheaper than the best kind. You
will lose in eggs far more than you
will save in feed. Hens use surplus
energy to produce eggs. and they need
good. nourishing, regular food. or they
will not have this surplus energy
hence will not lay eggs. Study the
question of feeding for eggs. There is
best way. and that is the way you
| want to feed. Mix your feed with
| brains, and you will not have to mix
/ them with quite SO much money.
| Three things to insist on:
| Care for your chickens when YOU get
4 up every day- including the Fourth OF
| July and Christmas
| Care for YOUR chickens at noon every
: day before YOU eat your dinner.
Care for YOUR chickens in the evening
every day before the san sets.

Suburban Homes for Newcomers.

10 the Editor of The Star:
In connection with the editorial in a
recent issue of your valuable paper
entitled Local Housing Problem Acute, -
i beg to offer a suggestion that the
newcomers investigate the accommoda-
tions which are being offered to them
by US suburbanites. | own a piece of
property at 14th and Longfellow streets
northwest, just one block north of the
l4th street car line. and have had two
vacant rooms listed at four registra-
tioh bureaus for approximately ten
days withou. obtaining roomers; the
excuse. if it may be termed one, is that
II is too far out. But / want to state
mat II Is just as convenient to get to
f.y work on the Avenue as it is were
] located south of L street 1 have
never been kept from the Office on ac-
count of insufficient car service
As to the accommodations which are
offered in the suburbs, ! dare say tina,
they are equal to those of any of the
folks downtown Our houses are bull,
with all modern conveniences, and we
have a neighborhood which is sur
passed by none from any standpoint
you may wish to consider it.
l know of accommodations at the
present time for some six or sever
people. and my reason for referring
to the proposition is that the news
papers of Washington seem to presen,
but one side of the matter, intimatine
that the householders of Washington
are selfish and that they are not pa.

:, are willing to sacrifice their homes ant
