THOUSANDS OF CHICKS
LOST in STATE YEARLY
Faulty BrOodins Practices Held
Responsible by M. A. c.

East Lansing, Mich, May 18TH
Thousands of chicks are lost annually
in Michigan through faulty brooding
methods, declares Prof. c. II. Burgess,
of the poultry department at M. A. c.
When artificial heat is applied there is
danger of high mortality among the
young chicks unless special precau-
tions are taken. Careful management
eliminates practically all Of the loss,
however.
The following hints and suggestions
for the poultry raiser are based upon
tests made in the college flock at East
Lansing:
/. A temperature OF 81 to 95 degrees
two inches above the floor at the
edge of hover, is the correct initial tenn
perature.
2. Thoroughly disinfect the colony
house before introducing the young
chicks.
3. Have a surplus of heat on wet,
stormy days.
a. Don't cramp coal burning brooder
stove into small building. Allow at
least eight feet square for such a stove.
5. Confine the heat to the deflect0r
OF the stove, during the spring months,
by the use of a curtain around the heat
deflector. A cool outside temperature
promotes early feathering.
6. Clean, dry, sand on the floor, dur
ing the first week, gives ideal condi-
tons. After the first week use plenty
of cut straw and practice deep litter
feeding. This prevents leg weakness
and makes chicks husky.
z. Get chicks outside on ground as
early as possible. They grow faster
and by so doing, toe picking, cannabal-
ism and other brooder evils are elimin-
ated.
8. Select the early feathering and
early growing cockerels.
8. Reduce the heat as chicks grow
older and eliminate it when they are
fully feathered.
10. Provide plenty of ventilation.
IL. Supply roosts in ladder formation.
Once the chicks are taught to roost,
mortality is almost entirely eliminated.

GREAT INCREASE IN
SPELTZ ACREAGE SHOWN
Crop Reported Adapted to Ad.
verse Conditions.

East Lansing, Mich, May 18TH
Nearly 10000 acres of speltz were
grown in Michigan last year, according
to figures given out by the farm crops
department at M. A. c., which indi-
Gates tremendous increase in the use
Of the crop. The popularity of the
cereal is thought by Prof. j. F. Cox OF
the college to be due to its ability to
produce profitable yield under un-
favorable conditions. The term 'speltz'
is used for both true spelt and for
emmer, most of the grain called speltz
in Michigan being white emmer, in
fact.
Speltz has proved to be better adapt
ed than oats, barley or wheat for pro.
duction under adverse conditions. On
light, infertile or poorly prepared soils
or under conditions where preparation
of the land for seeding has been delay
ed, speltz is the more profitable crop
On soils in condition to produce aver
age or good crops of oats, barley OF
wheat speltz is of little value, how
ever.
While speltz should usually be plant
ed in April or early May, being handled
as oats are handled, it is possible t.
plant in late May with assurance of ,
crop. Two bushels OF seed to the acr,
is advised. Glover may be planted
along with speltz, as in the case OF oat
or barley. The seed should be treate,
for smut as oats or wheat is treated.
The average yield in the state las
year was 27.25 bushels, while larg
yields of 60 to so bushels are frequentl
reported.

OUT FOR A SCOOP

II has been suggested as one reason
for President Wilson's sinister secrecy
with respect to what has been going on
at the peace conference that he takes
il for granted he will be returned to
private life after 1920, when he will
buckle down permanently to his favorite
weapon, the typewriter, to write book
on what happened in Versailles. This
book he will have copyrighted, and the
story Of secret covenants secretly ar
rived at will then make its first appear
ance. Naturally the author wants q
copyrighted scoop on the proceedings.

The Topeka Capital says that reduc-

Morrow Highway Esti-
Mate Falls a Little Short

Morrow county voted a $290,000
road bond issue, with $125,000 of
the total sum designated for the road
between the Gillian county line and
Heppner. 1t looks now as though
the road will cost 100000 in excess
of the estimate. County Judge Camp
bell and Representative c. E. Wood
son were in Portland the first of the
week and attended meeting Of the
state highway commission The dis
crepancy in the figures is due to the
first estimates made by the highway
engineers and is no fault of the coun-
ty officials.
1t has been suggested that the road
be narrowed from "a feet, the state
standard, to Is feet, In reply to such
suggestion, Highway Commissioner
Thompson declared, 'if you build an
1S-foot road, I'll never want to go
back to Morrow county, for they'll
hang me. You must either put In
more money or cut down the length
of the road"
Representative Woodson, speaking
for Judge Campbell, replied that the
county cannot raise more than about
$1,000 additional Mr.. Thompson ad-
vised having the banks carry county
warrants for two or three years until
they can be taken up out of the gen.
eral fund. The road is So miles from
Heppner to the Gillian county line.
No action was taken by the commits
sion.

GAZETTE TIMES ENLARGES IN SIZE AND
NEW FEATURES ARE ADDED TO NEWS INTEREST

With this issue, The Gazette Times
enlarges from six to seven columns,
thereby making 1t possible to add new
features which we hope will prove of
value to our readers and advertisers
alike.
The change, in effect. now makes
the paper equal In size to our former
paper Of ten pages six columns and In
reality carries q greater number of
inches Of printed matter than was
formerly carried in ten pages of the
smaller size paper.
The continual growth of the paper
and the desire on the part of its pub
fishers Ito make better paper with
each succeeding issue, has called
forth the enlargement of The Gazette
Times, New features will be added
from time to time, and If the paper
has been filled with news interest in
the past, our readers will find that
interest increased in the future, 1t is
not our desire to "toot loudly" but
we only want to call your attention
to these improvements which are of
a permanent nature and which are
taking place as the paper expands
with the growing community. We
trust that a bigger and better" pa
per may meet with your approval and
satisfaction.
