COMMITTEE FOR SERVICE
tR. r. LANCASTER Assistant Coun.

(R. r. LANCASTER Assistant Coun.
ty Agent Leader)
Perhaps the outstanding feature OF
the farm bureau as rural organiza-
tion is the dependence that is placed
upon small working groups, or com
mittees, of farm bureau members, who
are out at work on the farm bureau
program in every Community Of
county. In fact, committee work
characterizes all typical farm bureau
activities. Thereby active local lead
ership is assured, and we can come
to look upon community committee
as the working force which not only
carries the farm bureau message, but
which actually puts the people at
work towards solving their own prob
lens. under their own leadership.
The encouragement and training of
this local leadership. fostered by the
community committee, is absolutely
essential to the success of farm bu-
reau work. Without this. we have
farm bureau in name only. for only as
we interest and train members to
accept leadership, to exert initiative
and accept responsibilities may we
expect the people as u whole to rec
ognize common problems, show endur
ing interest and actually meet rural
problem in an organized way. The
community committees are the toun.
dation of the whole farm bureau
structure.
Farm bureau development in Colo
rao during the next year must, there
/ fore, see a much better and greater
organization of community commit
| tees In every county of the state Nor
can we be content with mere formal
appointment of committees The

terest developed. the influence a farm
bureau may exert. the entire results
of farm bureau work in any county
depend almost entirely upon the le-
/ gree to which we develop AMI train

tees. to work on the probe as of n
community. We must, therefore, re.
wise our lists, encourage more active
Leadership, and in every way direct
more effort towards building up &C
tive, working, energetic, responsible
committees. The future of farm bu
reau work in Colorado depends upon
this.

PLAN INCREASED
ECC PRODUCTION
Marked Attention Should Be Paid
to Feeding, Housing, CulIing
and Breeding.
BREEDING FLOCK ESSENTIAL
Free Range Gives Ideal Conditions
for FowIs-ciose Confinement Re-
duces Vitality Of Stock-Mash
Hoppers Favored.

Poultry keepers interested In in
creasing the egg production of their
focks will pay marked attention to the
methods of feeding, housing, culling
and breeding. Probably the least prog
ress on most farms has been made in
the art of breeding poultry, says L. s.
Townsley of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, in Exten-
sion Circular 72.
To produce high layers only the
best individual producers should be
used as breeders. This suggests the
necessity for having special breed
ing flock. On farms where eggs fol
setting are saved from the entire flock
selection is usually based only on the
size and shape of the eggs. With this
system the breeder stands good
chance of setting many eggs from the
very lowest producers. Even the poor.
est hens lay fairly well during the
Matching season and their eggs are
usually large and smooth. This meth
cd of mass selection of setting eggs is
in the same class as the crib selec
ton Of seed corn and will bring just as
poor results. The first step in improv
ing the egg production is the estab
lshment of special breeding flock.
Free Range Is Ideal.
No special fencing is necessary to
handle the flock. Free range gives
ideal conditions for breeding fowls
A pen is a great detriment to the
efficiency Of the breeding flock and is
not at all needed on the farm. Close
confinement reduces the vitality OF
the flock and results in poor matches
and weak chicks.
Where separate houses are available
for the breeding flock and the com
mercial flock free range can be given
the birds in each group. If feed is
kept constantly available in the masf
hoppers in each house the birds will
return to the proper house to lay SC
that the eggs can be kept separate
without any attention to yards. OF
course, males should be supplied only
for the breeding flock, and by keeping
these birds in the house until eight OF
nine o'clock in the morning, salts
factory mating will be insured. Some

ing flock. but this does no special
harm. On farms where there is only
one poultry house, partition can be
put In to keep the two fiOcks separate
If 1t seems undesirable to allow both
flocks to range at the same time, alter.
nate the range by letting the breeders
run ut large one day. and the com.
mercial layers the next. During the
cool weather of the breeding season
this system works satisfactorily.
Number Of Breeders.
The number of birds to include IL
the breeding flock should be deter.
mined by the number of high-class in.
dividuals available and by the mum.
ber of eggs needed for Matching. II
incubators are used, enough breeders
should he kept to fill the machines
without holding any eggs longer thar
two to twelve days. Usually pro
duction of at least so per cent can be
expected during the Matching season
Forty breeders should furnish enough
eggs to fill 200-egg machine within
ten days. However, only hens of higf
producing ability should be used as
breeders even If it Is necessary to buy
some eggs for Matching.
