FORAGE FOR BREEDING EWES

Strong, Vigorous Lambs-tielps

breeding ewes must have some good
forage in order to produce strong
young, and the growing and develop

make good healthy ewes for breeding,
and the fattening sheep should have
some good forage to help balance their

are intended for the block will not

School Poultry Plants.
Many high schools and graded
schools have established in connec-
ton with their regular curriculum a
course in poultry husbandry and
managing a poultry plant on the
school grounds so that the children
can take an active part in the inn
pRoyement of the school flock. This
system not only creates an interest
and knowledge among the children as
to the Importance of poultry keeping
but In almost every instance acts as
community poultry center, placing
before the patrons of the school an
idea of what constitutes proper pouiL
try equipment and management,
Poultry Clubs and Exhibits.
A continuous effort has been made
to encourage and develop exhibits
among the DOys and girls of the fowls
actually raised on their respective
plants. During the past year 712 such
exhibits were held, and 1,614 birds
were shown by 5,615 members. In adj
ditiOn, these members exhibited 2,761
dozens of eggs. There was distribute
ed at these fairs in special and cash
prizes over $4,000.

eu 10 minimum.
Poultry Club. Specialist.
In each state wherein this form Of
club work has been inaugurated by
the department in cooperation with
the state agricultural college poul-
try club specialist has been located to
foster such work. In every instance
these specialists have been thoroughly
practical poultrymen and possessed of
the ability OF imparting their knowl-
edge in practical way. These agents
devote their entire time to such organ
izati0n work among the children. and
act as subject matter specialists in dis
seminating such information as is
necessary to carry on the work.
Throughout the year each of the
agents in charge assists the members
in every possible way by means of in
structive talks before representative
clubs, by giving demonstrations, i'm
pressing the fundamental principles
and by visiting the members homes,
giving such information and demon
STATIONS as can be practically applied
in each case. In addition to such in
structio1s, these state agents make it
a point to give helpful lectures and
demonstrations before the c0Hnty farm
and home demonstration agents.
Each member enrolled in the potii-
try club is supplied with full set of
the Department of Agriculrure's farm
ers' bulletins on poultry, together
with a report book in which he is in
structed to keep a definite and detailed
account of all his work. thereby show
ing the accomplishments and results
as he proceeds from one operation to
another, and from one years work TO
another. When properly filed out,
these reports show, at the end of a
season, a complete record Of all
the member has done during the
club year. The object of these re-
quirements is not only to place be-
fore the member a record of activities
so that he con see his own shOrtcOm-
ings, but, also, when correctly kept,
to give the state and county leaders
an opportunity to- point out such de-
fects with a view to correcting them
in future work.
Community Breeding Work.
In several Of the counties where
poultry club work has been in prog
ress for several years, an effort has
been made and success secured in es-
tablshing a community breeding or
ganizatfon, both among the children
and their parents. This plan has been
proved very practical. The object OF
this form of organization has been to
secure in a community an association
that will devote all Of its efforts to
breeding and raising one specific va
riety Of poultry. 1t is obvious that
when such practice is followed each
member will be a better breeder OF
the breed selected by the club in that
each one win be closely associated
with his fellow members, and there
fore the experience of each member in
breeding and raising the community
breed will become common knowledge.
Furthermore, such organizations estab-
fish a center which is in a position
in many cases to furnish uniform

instrumental in bringing about the
realization Of the Importance of the
poultry industry, is the establishment
of poultry clubs among the boys and
girls. Just as poultry-keeping was
formerly considered a minor branch
of farm work, SO it was formerly
thought that the keeping of fowls was
purely an activity for adults. With
the development of other forms Of
agricultural clubs among children, 1t
was found that there was very def
mite place for such clubs, having for
their object the production OF poultry.
In 1912 this project was formally
launched by the Federal Department
of Agriculture in the state of Vir-
ginia.
The poultry club work was founded
on a very smalf and conservative
scale; in other words, it was launched
very largely as an experiment to ascer-
tain its popularity and practicable
fty. Thus, at the end Of 1913, with
the success of the work as it was
carried on in Virginia in three coun-
ties with $50 members, those who
were in a position to know, and to
observe the results, concluded that this
form of club work had wide POSSIBLE
tiles for effective results. 1t was found,
as result of this first years work,
that the project was not only highly
practicable in accomplishing its prin-
cipal object, namely, to interest the
boys and girls in rural sections IN
raising poultry, but it wars likewise
demonstrated that the people, in those
sections where the clubs We're formed,
realized the Importance of the work.
Ia view of this success, poultry club
work was extended during the year
Of 1914 to Georgia, Kentucky, North
and South Carolina and Tennessee.
The results that were obtained in
those states were practically repeti-
ton of the accomplishment of the idea
and purpose of this form of organiza-
ton.
How the Clubs Were Organized.
The object of this work being to i'm
prove farm poultry and to place the
industry ON higher plane in rural
communities, such Improvement was
invariably started by organizing clubs
among the children in the schools and
educating them as to the proper and
most practical methods Of poultry
management, best suited to local cOndi-
lions. STANDARDIZED poultry was, and
still is, the basic fundamental princi-
pie upon which these organizations
were founded: that is, it was the ul.i-
rnate idea so to interest and encOJsr-
age the members that they would be
able to dispose Of their mongrel fi0cks,
which were by far in the majority,
and raise only standardized poultry,
and thus secure the increased returns
and benefits that such stock would
bring. Furthermore, the members
were encouraged to improve their poul-
try equipment to such an extent as
could be accomplished without the
expenditure of any great amount Of
money. Consequently, practically the
only investment that the members OF
these clubs had to make was in pur-
chasing one or more settings Of eggs
of pure-bred stock. Through the CO.
operation Of local poultrymen reduced

The new commissioners are all progressive men who will accomplish things, according to the board which made an effort to pick men combin- ing engineering and road experience with undoubted business judgment and ability to care for the managerial end of the commissions work.
 A large number of men were con- sidered, but very few could qualify because of the freeholderS law. The supervisors expressed the sentiment that 1t was no small job to select the new. commissioners precisely be- cause of this obstacle. The public may think they have been little slow in making their appointments, they said, but this was their one op- poFtunity to express themselves. After the commission is appointed, the board is powerless, and yet is held responsible for the acts of the commission. It was explained that the supervisors tried hard to select group of men who would work to- gether harmoniously and go to the bat to do what the public wants done build roads.

Man and Wife Sue Because Ten ants Failed to Raise Crop on Shares and Prevented Them From Making Repairing
CFrom Thucsday,s Dailvl

Suit to adjust an alleged lease on 400 acres of ranch land, was filed in the superior court yesterday by Mir and Mrs. William w. Davis, naming E. M. Cooper and Leonard Coplan as defendants.
 According to the complaint, the plaintiffs entered into an agreement with the defendants to supply the land to be,'farmed on shares. The defendants did not farm the land, hence there was no consideration, and the complaint continues, the agreement is void. The irrigation ditches and fences on the tract were allowed to go to ruin and when the plaintiff offered to set them right, was refused by the lessees, he says. He asks an injunction to prevent in- reference, decree of the status of the agreement in his favor and other relief.
 E. H. Loveridge represents the plaintiffs.
