By making poultry raising busi- ness and by knowing her business, Mrs. K. l.. Hanks of Cato in Pulaski county has been able to make almost the entire living expenses for her large family during the past year from her flock of White Leghorns.
 Last year Mrs. Hanks sold $500 worth of eggs from her flock and ex- poets to go over that mark this year. she believes in standard bred birds and is convinced that to make sue cess of the poultry business one must know and do Raising chickens as a business vii pay and making it pay means knowing the business and keep ing record of production. The poultry raiser must know when a hen does not pay her board and why. Is it feed, water. housing or lack of ability 10 lay that makes the hen unprotita ble: These things are determined by the records kept.
 One of the most noticeable features of the Hanks farm is the poultry house and the chicken run. 4 fOrty-foot run is arranged between the yard and the chicken house Upon inspection it is found that the poultry equipment con sists of many things which make healthy chickens and profitable layers.

In May. 1919. group of Fairyiew farmers met informally to discuss ways of bettering the community. The need of cooperation was recognized, but the population was so scattered and means of communication, such IS roads. so poor that the task of organiz- ing seemed difficult. was decided that a rural telephone reaching into different sections of the township was necessary. before much cooperation could be looked for. Building mp a one line system already in use, it proved TO be easier than was expected to raise the money for an exchange and branch lines with about 10 telephones.
 \ committee was then appointed to study the problem of how the produce of the township could best he mar keted and production thereby stimu- lated. This committee suggested the building of four car lengths of track and a warehouse at the nearest rail- road point.
