POOR WINTER SHELTER CUTS
 EGG PRODUCTION

Hens and bullets which are to be retained for winter laying should al- ready be in permanent winter quar- ters, according to H. B. Lansden, poultry husbandman of the Agricul- tural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 November work in the poultry yard advises Mr Lansden, should consist mainly in making preparations for winter. The first cold spell is sure to cause a sudden check in egg produc- tion unless the hens have good shell ter. If hens and bullets are layinel fairly we'll now due to moderate warm weather, abundance of weed and grass seed and other natural conditions con- ducive to good egg production, the poultry grower will suffer d disap- pointing loss unless his fowls are given comfortable winter guafters.
 When hens and bullets are being put into winter quarters, says Mir. Lansden, i've should not forget to give them the last once over and cull out those that do not give promise of being good egg producers.
 Everyone now knows that the
 molters are the best layers in the flock but not everyone that sees to it that the late molter is given proper treatment Where they are allowed to run with the rest of the flock they are often mistreated by the other fowls and on cold nights they suffer from exposure. Every grower should see that the late molters are comfort able, even if they have to be placed in a separate pen until they are we'll feathered. Late molters often get a setback because they cannot fly to the perches and have to crowd in the nests or hurdle in corners on the floor.
 '.In shifting stock to new quarters. in the case of young bullets, try to prevent the tendency to crowd in cor ners instead of going up on the perch es. If they crowd in corners where there is no ventilation the birds will sweat and thus lay foundation for colds and roup. Young bullets should be trained to take the perches by pro- yiding convenient and accessible roosts within their reach.

TOO MANY COTTON VARIETIES A DISADV VANTAGE TO GRAW-
 FRS

A serious disadvantage in raising cotton of good staple which should de- mand a good comparative market price~is the present great multiplicity of varieties, according to E. A. Hod- son, agent in cotton marketing demon stration of the Agricultural Extension Division University of Arkansas.
 There are at present more than TOO varieties of cotton on the market. A survey of a county in Georgia showed that 56 varieties were being grown in that one county. While it is probably not true that any one county in Ar kansas grows that many different va rietieS. it is true that too many varie- ties are grown in communities to in sure purity.
 This evil of such large number of varieties is one that can be corrected through community action. If com- munity will organize and, instead of welcoming new and untested varieties each year, refuse to plant them until they have been tested in comparison with existing varieties, it will be safe guarding itself against impure varie- ties and inferior staples. With such a community or county organization it would be useless to recommend new sorts to an intelligent organized public awakened to the necessity of improv- ing their cotton crop.
 With communities organized to grow one variety of cotton and to maintain supplies of pure seed, the in- troduction of new varieties will be viewed from new standpoint. A farmer then would understand that the planting of new varieties would likely bring about difficulties in gin ming and marketing his crop. Other farmers in the community would want to protect themselves against mix ture of their pure seed with the new variety.

PATAGONIA CHAMBER OF COM
 MERGE MEETS.

At the regular meeting of the Patagonia Chamber of Con- merce last Saturday evening the following important questions were discussed:
 The necessity for 8 bridge across the Sonoita river. Both local and through tra fife are held up here for hours during periods of storms, and occasionally a car is washed down the stream and then nearly buried in the sand, as was the case with a Sonoita car recently. When the Bankhead highway is under con struction a bridge at this point is absolutely necessary. An other bridge at the Brash cross ing on the Patagonia RarShaw road is also necessary. The channel here is narrow and deep and the cost of the bridge at this point would be nominal.
 Another important road aues tion is that of effectively hold ing the drainage from the can yOn to the south of town. The water from this canyon drains north on Third avenue to Nc Keown avenue and then west through the nam thoroughfare of the town. At times it over flows into the alley behind the store buildings and has washed into the stores, causing cOnSid- erable damage to merchandise. Practically none of the county $ road money has been expended upon the roads leading through Patagonia. It is, therefore, a most opportune time, when the Bankhead highway work is nn- der way. that the drainage of the towns principal business street (which is the routing of this highway) be definitely dis posed of. It is not necessary for us to suggest the manner in which this work can best be done, as the state engineers are well qualified to work out such problems, but it is we'll to state that there are two very feasible ways in which this drainage problem can be worked out.
 The question of raising funds for the maintenance of the towns fire fighting equipment, was discussed. and it was decid- ed that the owners of improved property within the confines of the city should each contribute their share toward the upkeep of this equipment. The cost is small, about $8O a year. Thus it is seen that the assessment against any one person cannot work a hardship against anyone.
 The matter of satisfactory water and sewer system was discussed but no action will be taken upon the matter at pres ent.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.
