POULTRY PRODUCTION IN
STATE OF ARiZONL

Herbert Hoover comes forward with
the emphatic statement that America
will have to supply Europe with food
for the next eight years. In response
the government is urging increased
production. :
During the past few months we have
put forth our energies along the line
OF increased production from a pa
triotic standpoint; now we are ap-
pealed to from the humanitarian side.
Every true American feels this re-
sponsibility and would respond even
at sacrifice, but no sacrifice is re.
qulred in this instance as prices bid
fair to remain good for years to come.
The price of eggs which has pre-
vailed all over the west this fall has
led to reneWd interest among poultry
men. 1t has also demonstrated that
fall eggs can only be secured from
well developed pullets. To get such
pullets they must be hatched early and
cared for properly.
Let every breeder who contemplates
getting his share of the profits from
egg production next year lay his plans
for early Matching. The early matched
chick grows faster, is not as liable to
disease and is a surer source of profit
than the later hatched chick. The
cockerels mature when prices are the
highest for broilers and fryers. The
early Matched pullets are the only ones
it will pay to keep for next winters
layers.
There are practically no eggs in cold
storage now. Such a condition means
a strong demand at fair prices for all
the eggs that can be produced.
Poultry raisers of Arizona are urged
to increase their f1ocks.-N. L. Har-
ris, Poultry Specialist, Bureau Of AMI

ROAD IMPROVEMENT
I'M SOUTHERN

The farmers Of southern Arizona
will be interested in the following i'll
formation recently received from J.
w. Estill, manager of the Arizona
Lumber and Mill company Of Tucson
He states:
''The board of supervisors have sold
the bonds for the construction Of the
road toward Casa Grande to the
amount of $4,000; from Ajo east,
$4,000; for the borderland route, east
of Vail, towards Benson, $4,000, and
the $500 for Pima's half for the work
building the Mount Lennon road. All
except the last, especially the Casa
Grande, will very much help the far
mer in opening up the country and
make it easier to communicate with
Tucson. We now have something
over 200 miles of improved roads in
this county and with proper mainten-
ance will last for years"

A GRAY ELEGY


(Written in deserted brewery
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er
lea.
The workman homeward plods his
weary way,
With not a drink in sight that he
can see.
Worn to frazzle by the dust and
heat,
He fain would like a glass of cool
ing beer,
But effort to secure seductive foam
Is ever met by Prohibitions leer.
Where once behind the swing-doors
pensive shade
The lengthy foot-rail glistened from
much use
Each in a narrow cell forever laid
The beer kegs that contained the
joyful juice.
For no more the cooling stein shall
foam,
Or friendly bar-keep invite him to
stay.
No free lunch to remind him of his
home
Old Prohibitions caught him on the
way.
Let not Ambition rob him of his rights
And humble pleasure at the close OF
day
Nor Grandeur sneer with disdainfnl
smile
When he would drive his simple
cares away.
Full many pail of purest tin serene
Was filled with all the "suds" that
it could bear,
While ice-cold water was left to blush
unseen,
And waste it's. sweetness upon the
desert air.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp Of
power,
And all that causes thirsty men to
sigh,
Await alike tn inevitable hour,
The day our grand old state went
bone-dry.
Can man upon an animated bust
Get inspiration" such as he would
choose,
And make him start lively song Or
fuss
BY drinking milk instead of joyful
booze?
(The Epitaph)
Here rests his head upon the lap of
earth
A youth with wild oats yet unsown.
The Prohibs squelched his vain at
tempts at mirth,
And Melancholy marked him for her
own.
Noble Tom Conley, in the Crescent,
Zenobia, Toledo.

matter of prices paid, farm products
left little to be desired, corn, potatoes,
rye, beans and cabbage being among
the few showing smaller financial re-
turns. Cereal crop values as whole,
$6,971, ,634, 900, break all records, ex-
ceeding 1917 by per cent and all
crops, valued at $12,272, ,412,O 900, gained
per cent over the preceding year,
itself high-record point in values.
These financial returns coupled with
the planting of a record area, 49,027,-
O00 acres, in winter wheat, with the
third highest condition recorded, con-
tain excellent promise for the coming
year so far as the farmer is con-
cerned, especially so in that an excel
lent price is guaranteed him for 1919,
in case, as is possible, a yield exceed
ing that of 1914 is realized.

Word comes from Ajo of extensive
profiteering there in the purchase of
Liberty Bonds from MeXicans. The
Mexican and foreign element there
subscribed literally to all issues of
the bonds land that district easily
went over the top. Most Of the bonds
sold were of the smallest denomina-
tions, but they were sold to practl-
cally all the men employed there
Financial streets and other things
caused an outpouring of the bonds,
and the holders, ignorant of the mar
ket price for them, began selling them
for whatever they could get. Large
blocks of them have been bought up
at $50 on the $100.

GUS HERFERT Is BADLY
lNJuRED HY IkAClOk

Gus Herfert. = prominent farmer
living south Of Julesburg, Was the
victim Of q serious accidsnt Wednes-
day morning while operating his trac-
tor at his farm. Mr.. Herfsrt was en-
gagged in adjusting one Of the plows
behind the tractor while the tractor
WAS moving and in some manner his
right foot became caught in the Dlow
the result of which was that the foot
was severely cut and bruised.
After the accident occurred Mr.. Her.
fert, who was alone in the field made
an attempt to get to the house by
himself by driving the tractor there
He tainted twice before reaching the
house while on the moving tractor and
it is remarkable fact that he was
not injured otherwise.
DIR. Dutton Of this city was called
and administered medical treatment
he taking twelve stitches in the in,
jured foot. Mr.. Herfert is getting
along nicely now as could be expected
and it is probable that he will be LAID
up for several weeks as result Of the
accident.

mutual benefits. Don't stand back
and let the other fellow do your part
Be regular attendant at the Jules
burg Community Club luncheon and
assist in injecting "Pep" into this
community.
There is q startling announcement
wrich we are about to make in this
column. Do you progressive citizens
Of this community realize that we have
right here in our midst a number Of
citizens and business men who are
actually asleep to community upbuild-
ing. This seems like a broad state
ment doesn't it. But it is an absoluts
fact, and detrimental to say the least.
We know of no community that has
as many golden opportunities con
ffronting it, which if taken advantage
tf in the proper way, would mean con-
siderable along the lines Of commun-
ity upbulding. Right here in Jules
burg we have citizens and business
men who do not take any interest
whatsoever in any movement pertain
ing to community welfare work. Their
attitude would lead one to believe
that they do not wish to see Julesburp
grow, as it justly deserves to do. On
the other hand they have the narrow
idea that if the population increased
their interests would be impaired
old fOgy methods seem to be the
height of their ambition, and their
policy it to do everything possible to
retard the growth of the community
in order the competition will not in
terfere.
Yes, there are citizens and business
men right here in Julesburg who need
to be woke up from their seemingly
peaceful sleep. So much, so good.
But dear progressive citizen, have YOU
ever thought just how to go about this
matter of overriding these sleepy and
unprogressive citizens, who absolutely
refuse to assist in the upbuiling Of
the community? Do you think that
there is a solution to this question, or
do you deem the case hopeless? You
have your interests here, and you
realize that the progress of the COM
munity is the road to success. You
are willing to give part of your time
towards progressive movements. while
some citizens would not give
nickels worth. they're afraid they
would be out five cents.
We appeal to all progressive citi-
zens of Julesburg and Community to
get down to business in earnest and
solve the problem of united commun-
ity work, where every citizen who has
interests here will do his share in
making this bigger and better place
in which to live The Grit-Advocate
will be glad to assist in every possible
way.
