a common disease in the east, but is
not a serious menace in Iowa. In
testinal coccidiOsis is apparently
more common and is probably one of
the serious causes of the heavy NOR
tality of chicks in this state every
year. 1t is a highly infectious and
unusually destructive disease and is
becoming greater menace each
year. 1t usually affects chicks from
five days tothree weeks of age.
Symptoms-Affected chicks will
stand about in stupid, indifferent
way, isolating themselves from the
rest of the flock and eating little or
no food. They progressively lose
weight and have the Characteristic
diarrhea. FASTING up behind" is
common and often results in many
chicks uttering a shrill cry of pain.
Recovery is infrequent.
Intestinal COccidiosis
Post Mortem Symptoms-The
liver and "blind CUTS" or coca are
often visibly affected. In acute
cases, the LESSONS may be only a
thickening and congestion of the
tip of one cecum. In ligering cases
there may be an invasion of the en-
tire length of both coca, inflammation
of parts Of the large intestine, dead
ening of tissues of liver in charac-
| teristic concentTiC circles, and in
lection of oviduct, spleen and othe-
err organs. Post norton examina-
ton is only an indication. The sur
est evidence is to find the stages of
cocidium in association with the
LESSONS in the walls of the intestine
or ceca or in the droppings.
Cause-This disease is produced
by small protozoan parasites. Usu-
ally the disease is spread by sac
ike growths containing organisms
which passed out in the droppings
of the diseased bird. These con-
taminate the food which is taken
in by the other birds. The walls of
these sacs are ruptured in the iutes-
tine and the small organisms pene-
trate the cells lining the intestinal
tract and coca. Here they multiply
rapidly. Death occurs as a direct
result of mechanical injuries to the
Innings of the alimentary tract and
because openings are made for the
entrance of bacteria to the coca,
liver, lungs and tissues of other or
gans.
Transmission-The disease ap-
parently spreads by the contamina-
ton of the food and possibly thru
the eggs either internally or ex-
ternally
acknowledgements measures
are recommended as follows:
1. Isolate sick birds and burn
dead birds promptly.
2. Use new ground each year for
raising the chicks.
8. Avoid overcrowding chicks,
especially in brooders.
4. Disinfect often and thorough
ly with compound cresol solution
(5%).
5. Dip Matching eggs in $50 al
cohol. re
6. Use one 7.3 grain mercury
bicholride tablet per gallon swater
only when disease is present and
then not more than ten days at a
time.

COLLEGE FARM PROJECT
IN DELTA COUNTY
Two Farms Leased for the Training
Of Disabled Veterans Of
World War.

The Colorado Agricultural College
leased two fruit farms in Delta
county. about half mile north of
Cory, in the Surface Creek valley.
These farms, belonging to L. L. Nc
Dowen and f. NJ Bennett, respec-
lively. comprise about so acres, half
of which is in orchards and the rest
in hay, pasture and cultivated crops.
The purpose Of the project was the
training of partially disabled ex-
service men, in cooperation with the
federal government. The first 81 CUP
of "trainees.' as they are officially
called, arrived on the fruit ranch
April Sth with Prof. II. d. Lo;klin
who continued as their instructor un-
til August 10th. when he left to take
up his regular work in the State
Horticulturist office. b. l.. Burnside

of the University of Maryland and
the Oregon Agricultural College. re-
the College Farm.
There have been many new arrivals
and several departures, the latter
due mainly to the poor health OF
some of the veterans. The group
now remaining at the school Is as
follows: s. d. Baumgardner. F. A.
Black, c. II. Callahan, w. c. Cawley.
c.. d. Flannery. s. b. Henderson.

In addition to the work on the
ranch. trips to various representative
orchards in different parts OF the
county have been made from time to
time. and lectures and other instruc'
tional work was carried on during
midsummer. when the ranch work
was lightest
The success OF the project may be
judged from the fact that ever hall

AUSTIN PEOPLE HAVE
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR
PAINT INDUSTRY

Last year a number of people of
Austin were interested in the finding
by ]. B. (Canyon) Smith. near the
State bridge, certain materials for the
making of high-grade paints. The
vein of umber and sienna, which is
of reddish color, was found in inn
mense quantities.
This material is now imported to
the United States from Turkey and
Italy and has big market. being
used by almost every paint concern
in the country. At present neither
umber nor sienna is marketed IN the
United States to any great extent.
only about Is per cent being pro-
duced.
The 300-foot vein of titanium shale
has attracted a great deal Of atten-
tion from chemists, the properties of
which have but recently been de-
veloped. Kaolin clay is found in a
vein over three feet. This clay is
imported to the extent of about 80
per cent from both China and Greece.
The people OF Austin and vicinity
are determined to develop this dis
covery and ascertain just what they
have, and it may prove to be big
industry. Mr.. Smith proposes to give
everyone who goes into his company
square deal and has included 100
acres of decided land and welcomes
everyone to help him develop this
great industry. From tests that have
been made of these minerals there is
no question about their value. and
the people of Delta county will surely
appreciate what Mr.. Smith mas done
towards developing and discovering
this great industry.

The territory contiguous to Austin
is among the most productive of any
of the lands to be found in Delta
county, and in fact for that matter it
would be difficult to find land any
where that will surpass it. II you

Northwest, the Sunny South or the
great plain states of the Middle West,
you will not find any better.

There are seven fruit and produce
houses that handle from one to five
hundred carloads of produce yearly
and large lumber, hardware and coal

the growing needs of the community,
since now it is rather the uncommon
than the common thing for rancher
to be found driving horse-he rides

THE TOWN OF ORCHARD CITY

Very few rural communities ENJOY
the advantages of city improvements.
yet to Orchard City, situated in the
Surface Creek district about seven
miles from Delta, belongs this unique
distinction.
On April 9, 1912. petition for the
incorporation of the town of Orchard
City was filed with the county court
of Delta county. and on the following
day an order was also filed in the
county court of Delta county appoint
ing commissioners. The court ac-
cordingly issued decree that F. n.
Hinman. E. E. White. Charles Dixon.
James w. Stell and G. f. Williamson
be the commissioners, and ordered
them to call an election at once.
On May 4, 1912, an election was held
at the Fairview schoolhouse, and a
report was submitted to the county
court showing that 60 voted for in

Kettle. william Stark and E. r. Cof-
fey, trustees.
| At an election held August 5. 1913,
bond issue was voted for the erec'
tion OF a water system. This issue
called for $4,000. A contract for the
erection OF a water system was en-
tered into with Charles ]. Moynihan
| OF Montrose, on September 4. 1915,
and completed March 4. 1916.
The water supply is furnished from
| Grand Mesa. It is filtered through
filters and settling basins Of the town
Of Cedaredge. The system is laid
with Mathewson Joint steel pipe
wrapped and coated. A reservoir Is
built Of reinforced concrete with a
capacity OF 100000 gallons. located on
an elevation near the Fairview school
house. The entire system is gravity;
no open bitches or fumes; all steel
| from end to end. It serves a terri.
tory comprising about 1,700 acres Of
the richest and most productive land
on the Western Slope.
About IS families have water piped
to their homes. and about 100 persons
haul water to outlying sections with
tanks from standpipes conveniently
located through the town OF Orchard
City. It is possible for every family
to have all the modern water con
yeniences as enjoyed In the large
cities.
The system is meterized, using the
Neptune Meter Company's meters
The town OF Orchard City. as well as
supplying surrounding territory from

Cubs and Mendota's Five Hundred
Dollar Side Bet Team" at the north
side lot when an argument which was
given life early last season. is expect
cd TO be settled Fans are grca ly
enthused over the coming battle and
are eager to see the veteran Bernie
COss in action against the local aggrc.
cation. The game, as predicted by
the Mendoza fans and others up a.
round Mendoza way, will be a duel he
tween Coss and Lynch, but fans who
have been attending every local com
bat. are Of a different opinion and
can't see it that way. because they are
sure COss won't be able to stand the
gait when the heavy hitting Ottawans
open their bombardment.
At the present time things along the
betting line are little quiet although
several bets have been made by
some of the fans. In some cases the
more adyenturesOme fans Of Ottawa
have offered to I odds on the local
nine while several other bets were
made at even money that Ottawa
would win the conflict. So far moth
ing has been said by the Mendoza fans
in regard to that one-timc five hun.

Lynch hit his old stride Sunday and

Lynch has the ability as was cyidonc-
ed last Sunday and Jimmy is going to

Coss, nevertheless, one of the stur-
