l.. Nelson of this vicinity, secretary

poultry culling. .a
Early in July three training classes
in culling and selection were conduct
ed in Ward county near Minot under
direction of Miss Hazel Spencer OF
the home demonstration department.
Types Of laying and non-laying hens
were selected and these used for dem
onstration purposes. Their different
characteristics first explained
and these points shown in the birds
selected. Then each person took a
bird and did actual culling. This
was continued until all the birds in
the focks were culled.
The high interest in the work is
shown by the fact. that many of those
attending the first demonstration also

RYE AT MINOT

Minot,sN D., Aug. 4.-The Minot
Farmers Grain association shipped the
first al of rye of the season from
Minot Wednesday. according to a
statement by Manager Louis Enger
today. 1t is the earliest ever shipped
by the company, he adds.
The rye was raised on the Wemer
and Roach farm, three miles north
east Of Minot and averaged eight
bushels to the acre. The price was
Sc cents to the producers. Mr.. En-
ger says that the rye in the Minot
district near this city, will likely aver
age eight bushels.
Several loads Of new wheat were
also brought into the company's ele-
vator yesterday, being raised on land
of the Western Bankers Investment
company, a mile east of Minot. 1t
graded No. 3 and brought $1.35.
Mr.. Enger says he believes the
wheatrclose around Minot will average
about like that brought in yesterday.
about five bushels to the acre, al
though the average may run slightly
less than that figure.
The returns from this grain ought
to pay expenses, Mr. 'Enger says If
