LOCAL GROWER
FINDS POULTRY
PAYS In VALLEY

A local grower who has made n sue
cess of poultry raising in Imperial val
ley saws that she finds the white rock
good variety for all-round purposes,
hardy, quick maturing, good layer,
and superb as table fowl. She believes
that any woman can make good return
on poultry if she will use her head a
little. Chickens like children, require
care and this thrifty farm woman says
that they pay for every bit of time
and attention given to them. They
must be properly fed and on a balanced
ration. They, need grain and green feed
and above all, the pens must be kept
clean and sanitary.
Another thing this grower has found
out and that is that it does not pay to
keep hen of any of the large breeds
after she is two years old. The smaller
breeds may be kept little longer as
LAYERS, but even in those flocks, it is
the young hen that produces the most
eggs. AS for the cockerels, they should
be forced to grow as rapidly as possible,
fed abundantly toward the mark citing
time and turned off, just as soon as
possible, she says.
Prof. r. b. Easson, poultry expert,
says that the culling out of unprofit
able layers will increase the prOduc
tiveness of the flock and lower the
feed bill, two items to be taken into
consideration whether poultry be rails
ed for profit or for home consumption.
He gives the following pointers for
cullng:
"The flocks should be gradually Gull
ed beginning with the decrease of egg
production MAY and June) and heav-
ilv culled during July and August. For
the selection of breeders to be used the
following season, an additional culling
can be made even later.
"Practical culling will give best re-
suits by using q combination of tests
to eliminate the poor producers rath-
er than using one test.
"The molting of a fowl before Sep
tember is one indication of a poor
layer. These poor producers in the flock
molt early and slowly and do not pro-
duce as many eggs as generally sup
posed during the fall and winter. The
majority of their eggs are produced dur
ing the spring months.

with the yellow shanked varieties
the amount of coloring material in
shanks, beaks, earlobes, and skin (es-
pecialy at the venD is fairly accur-
ate guide to the laying ability of diff
ferent fowls of the same flock. The
yellow color is withdrawn from the
body as production increases and
gradually returns with the molt when
few eggs are laid. The use of the pig
ment color test is of more value during
June, July and August. The early molt-
ers of Il flock with yellow coloring in
shanks, beaks, earlobes, and skin after
June l are culls.
"The distance between the end of
keel bone and ends of pelvic bones is
a measurment of abdominal capacity.
The laying hen must have good sized
abdomen in which to digest feed and
manufacture eggs. In the good layer
the abdomen should be full, soft and
flexible. During the summer, fowls
measuring less than three fingers be-
tween these points are usually culls, as
shown by other indications.
"Pelvic bones should be thin,
straight and flexible. They tend to
thicken. on the ends as the hen gets
older. The cull generally has pelvic
bones which are thick, near together,
and not flexible as in good layers.
"The size of the comb, in relation
to the size for that breed, is correlated
with the hens laying ability. The
comb and waffle of a good layer are
red, full, and waxy. In the p6or layers
these are shriveled and scaly.'

MACHINERY PRICES
REPORTED LOWER

a recent bulletin issued by the fed
eral department of agriculture shows
a decline in price of various articles
which the farmer must buy. According
to this statement, declines for the
month were most pronounced in the
ease of machinery and tools such as
tractors, cream separators, harrows,
lumber, manure spreaders, mowers,
scythes and wheelbarrOws. Prices of
fertilizers and leather goods, harness
and shoes, show little change.
An exchange calls attention to the
fact that prices of machinery were re-
stricted by the government during the
war and therefore did not increase
nearly so much as many other kinds
of manufactured goods. Nevertheless
they were among the first to be re
duced and, it is said, have undergone
greater reductions than many other
articles which had been more greatly
increased in price.
Leather goods and harness scared
tremendously during the war and after
wards, and SO far, have shown little
tendency to lower prices, although the
prices of hides to the farmers have
fallen to the very lowest ebb, and cost
of labor has materially decreased. The
bulletin referred to is authority for
the statement that they have not ma
teriallv decreased if at all since the
downward trend of prices has been
noted in other lines.

1t is generally admitted that the roads In
Southwestern Texas and New Mexico give
the rubber equipment on an automobile
unusually severe wear. Where roads are

most nearly perfect service. must be soft
