HOW MANY EGGS YOU MAY
EXPECT FROM YOUR HENS

The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 dozen eggs per hen year from
his small flock in the back yard, say
poultry specialists of the United
State Department of Agriculture. On
the basis of two hens to each member
of the family this will give 20 dozen
eggs a year to each person, which
amount is about halfway between the
general average of farm and city con-
sumption. No backyard poultry keep
er should be satisfied with less than
this. He should try, however, to get
as much more as possible.
To provide an egg a day for each
person two hens would have TO lay
1888 eggs each year. This is by no
means an impossible average for small
fiocks. 1t is perhaps not too much TO
say that in cases where the person
attending the flock is in a position TO
look after the wants of the birds,
three or more times a day an aver
age of better than 13 dozen eggs per
hen can be secured if the hens are
mature and in good condition at the
start, and have the vitality to carry
them through a year of heavy laying.
For the farm the average of lOO
eggs per hen is advised as the lowest
that should be accepted as satlstac-
tory. while for the backyard lzO is
insisted upon as the lowest average,
although in general the conditions III
back yards are less favorable 10 pour
try keeping than on farms.

Farm Brings 1926 Per Acre.

The Irwin farm, near Holland ware
house on the O.-W. R. & NJ, about
three miles this side of Pullman, has
been sold to Thomas Woods, of Twin
Falls, Idaho, for 1925 per acre. The
land lies along the South Palouse, and
the creek, the railroad and the wagon
road run through it and there is some
waste land on the place. William
Irwin, who sold the farm, is pio-
neer of that section, having sold
part of the land in the farm of Wash
lngton State college, for $40 per acre
when that was regarded as record
price 15 years ago, and after going
back to New York state returned to
Pullman and bought the place just
sold, paying $50 per acre for it.

lover TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS SAVED
TURES SUPPLIED THEM AT
COST

Bacterial cultures for the inOcula-
tion of twelve thousand eight hundred
and eleven acres of various legumin-
GUS crops were prepared and sent
out during the past few months by
the department of bacteriology of
the University Of Idaho The great
er amount by far of these cultures
went to Idaho farmers but calls came
in addition from many other states,
including Utah, New Mexico, Ind
lana and the Dominion of Canada.
| Commercial concerns charge two
dollars per acre for these cultures
while the Idaho Experiment station
charge, thru the department of bac-
teriology, is only twenty-five cents
or approximate cost. The saving this
year, therefore, to Idaho farmers has
been one dollar and seventy-five
cents per acre, or a total amount
in excess of $4,000. This amount
is greater than the total ex-
penditure for all the teaching, re-
search and other activities Of the de-
partment of bacteriology for the past
four years. Culture manufacture is
only a minor feature of the work Of
the Agricultural Experiment Station,
many other lines of work bringing
benefits far more valuable in the long
run. This is kind Of work, however,
the benefit of which can be readily
reduced to dollars and cents basis.
The total acreage of culture sup
piled to farmers this year was divided
among various leguminous crops as
follows: Field peas, 1912 acres; alf-
alta, 1872 acres; red clover, 1851
acres; beans, 633 acres; sweet clover, ,
355 acres; soy beans, Is acres. The
total saving to all purchasers, as COM
pared with buying commercial cul-
lures, was $22,419.25. The total num-
Der of farmers purchasing cultures
was $50 and the average saving per |
$34.49. Strictly fresh Gull
lures only were sent out and many
testimonials of high effic-
ency of the material sent out are now
IN file.
Every effort is being made to keep
he price of these cultures down to 25
cents thru the coming year, in spite of
encountered because of
he increased cost of materials. Only II
,hree-acre cultures will probably be
next year, thus eliminating Il
he small one-acre size which has
never paid for itself. A change in the
method of applying the culture to the
iced will be advocated, which will
eliminate the use of milk and other
letails which delay seeding and add
o the work of treatment. An an
louncement OF next years plans and
Methods will soon be made. in full. y

VIOLA FARMER HAS A
GOOD CROP OF ALFALFA

C. w. Williams, of near Viola, was
in town Monday looking for Gus
toners for his hay crop. Mr. Will
liams hos just finished cutting 90
acres of alfalfa hay that he thinks
will average more than / IL tons
per acre, or from 1876 to $50 tons. He
has not room to store it although he
has hay barn that will hold 1870
tons. He was offered $25 per ton for
the hay and may sell it as soon as
baled. Mr.. Williams has found a1f-
alta one of the most profitable crops
he can raise and it solved the prob
lem of killing ferns, with which his
land was so infested that he could not
successfully raise grain, but he has
raised alfalfa with great success for
several years.

 Dick Thorn of Fairbanks has clos ed down his moving picture theatre for time and is sending the large stock of film used during the winter back to the booking agencies. There were two shipments, one of 3S0000 feet and the other of 150,000, the win ter showing amounting to over half a million feet. Owing to the annual freeze-up this must be laid in during the fall and represents a large sum of money.
 Five cases of whiskey on the gas boat Victor were seized by Walter B. Sharp, deputy United States marshal at Ketchikan. Ben Se1nes and Ben Ja- cobsen, charged with having liquor in their possession, the men being re- leased on bail of $500, for which the boat may be taken over by the gov ernment. The cargo was brought in from Prince Rupert, and part of the load had been landed before the men were apprehended.
 Rev. B. F. Drane recently returned to Fairbanks from a trip down the river as far as Minto. He reported five victims of influenza at Torchaket, the creek opposite the old Minto telegraph station, but that the MintO tribe of Indians off on the lakes were untouched by the epidemic. The Tor chaket camp was found abandoned, and everything left as in great haste. A cache was found in which were three corpses covered with heavy poles. The missionary made search for the remainder of the tribe and found them about twelve miles away across the frozen lakes, busily en- gagged in fishing, trapping and making canoes. They informed the Rev. Drane there were five victims from the flu instead of three. All were buried.
 The first mail for some time owing to the influenza quarantine, arrived at Brooks in the Livingood district. The Brooks camp practically escaped without having the epidemic owing to the rigid quarantine established by the citizens. There will not be much summer work in the camp this sea- son owing to scarcity of men and the high cost of supplies. Several cleanups have been made, and an es- innate of the output places it at half million dollars. The season was very slow in opening up, water freez- ing in town as late as May 30. Gar dens are being put in, and grain will not be sowed to any great extent this year. Business is noto good and there will probably not be more than 80 men spend the summer in the camp.

SHALL WE HAVE

Then Get Busy. The last legislature
passed a bill providing for bond
issue OF two million dollars for the
laying out, surveying and building
of State Highways, provided their
action is approved by the voters at
the next general election.
Under ordinary circumstances
there would be no doubt of its pas
sage but this year, with presiden-
tial, a senatorial and gubernatorial
campaign to interest the voters,
there is danger that the referendum
will go by default A blank ballot is
equal to a vote against the bond is
sue.
The bond issue must carry by an
overwhelming majority in order that
the legislature may feel that the en-
tire state is backing the road pro-
gram. The friends of better High
ways must carry on a campaign of
education from now until the polls
close on November End.
