1O49 EGGS IN JANUARY.

After keeping record of q
flock Of chickens from November
1st, 1921, to February 1st, 1922,
George Rustemeyer finds the
following results:
The flock ate 2412 bushels of
wheat during the three months
and $500 worth of other feed,
such as bran, oyster shell, bone,
grit, etc. During November
$500 worth of poultry was
sold and S4.60 worth of eggs.
In December $3.50 worth of poul
try was sold and $16.90 worth of
eggs. In january SOC worth of
poultry was sold and $35.75
worth of eggs. By this time the
flock consisted of Is White Leg
horn hens ~ years old and sd
pullets, One Plymouth Rock hen
and 18 pullets. These last
pullets were very late maturing
as also were some of the White
Leghorn pullets. In fact, some
of them have not commenced
laying at this writing. Never
theless during January the flock
laid 1049 eggs. On Januay II,
18 and 19, the coldest days of
this winter, the hens made an
average of 80 eggs a day for the
three days, and on the Goth they
laid A eggs, the largest amount
for one day during the entire
month.
While the housing for the
hens is not the modern type and
some of their combs were nipped
by the cold, the record shows
that they have still made a little
money for their owner at the
lowest price eggs have been for a
long time at this time of the
year. 1t must be admitted the
hens require care but it is time
well spent.
The above item relates the
actual experience of Mr.. Rustic
meyer with his flock of chickens
and his statements are well sup
ported by actual figures. The
Chronicle will gladly print SINH
lar experiences of any farmer in
Idaho county whether it be
chickens, hogs, cattle, dairying
or what not. Give your neighbor
the benefit of your experience.

WAGES LOWER.

Wages for farm labor in Idaho
in 1921 were about 40 per cent
lower than in 1920 and about
half way between those paid in
1916 and 1917, according to a
tabulation just completed by
julius III. Jacobson, agricultural
statistician of the Idaho crop re-
porting service and published in
the Idaho Statesman.
The average wage, with board,
in Idaho last year was SAT a
month. and in 1920 the farm
hand received S7S and his board
for a months work. In 1921
the farm hand who boarded him
self was paid an average of SGT
a month in Idaho, while in the
previous year he received S105.

FINE IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Francis G.. Nuxoll
returned last Thursday evening
from a weeks visit with friends
at Mt. Angel, Oregon. They
were accompanied home by their
son, Leonard, who has been at
tending college at Mt. Angel.
Leonard will not return to school
for the remainder of the year,
owing to i'll health it was
thought advisable for him to
take complete rest.
Mr.. Nnxoll was greatly i'm
pressed with the Mt. Angel
country and especially did the
fine homes and large barns ap-
peal to him. Farming there, he
said is done on small acerages
and the crops consists chiefly of
berries, onions and the like.
Onions are raised most profit
ably on what is known as beaver
land and as much as $1,000
worth is sold from single acre.
Beaver land is made up in a pc
culiar manner, being the work of
beavers who years ago damned
rivers and creeks with their
marvellous building ingenuity
and thus the sediment deposited
year by year has made the rich
est of land which produces pro-
fusely. Mr.. Nuxoll stated that
he saw one truck load of onion
seeds, seed enough he thought
for both Camas and Nezperce
prairies. Mr.. Nuxoll is also of
the opinion that the average boy
raised on Camas Prairie would
not be contented farming on
such small acreage.

ROUTE A POPULAR ONE.

The new mail route established
by the post office department
from the Greencreek postoffice,
which was placed in operation
the 18th of January is proving a
very beneficial and popular one,
according to farmers now served
by this route. The service main
tanned is three times q week,
Tuesdays, Thursday and Satur-
days. Joe Sattler is the mail
carrier in charge. The route is
II miles long and it requires
about a and half hours to make
the trip. If enough patrons can
be secured a daily service may
latter be put in operation.

DO YOU Want
A DAIRY COW?
IF SO ATTEND THE COM
MUNITY MEETING FEB.
7TH, l. o. o. +. HALL.

The second monthly meeting
of the Community Farm Club,
which will be held in the lodge
room of the |. o. o. F. hall next
Tuesday, February 7th, at 10
o'clock A. M, promises to be a
most important one and it will
be well worth the time of every
farmer of this locality to attend
it. The meeting this month will
be devoted to consideration of
the dairy question and it is
planned to proceed far enough
with the work next Tuesday that
future developments may be left
in the hands of a dairy commit
tee for completion and thus
leave future meetings of the
club open for the consideration
of other farm problems.
Dean Iddings, of the State
University at Moscow, will be a
guest of the club next Tuesday
and will deliver an address on
dairying that will be worth 60
ing many miles TO hear, as he
knows what is being done in the
south part of the state and in
other western states along this
line and is in position to give
much valuable information TO
those contemplating engaging in
the dairy business in this local
ity.
After the address by Mr.. Idd-
ings steps will be taken to deter
mine just what local people will
desire to do in the way of secur-
ing dairy stock or improving
their present herds, after which
future work in this line will be
left for a dairy committee or
sub-organization to complete.
The executive committee of
the club has arranged to serve
another 25c luncheon in the hall
at the noon hour for the accom-
mediation of those present and it
is hoped that as many as pos
sible will avail themselves of
this feature, as the price is made
to cover the bare cost of the
lunch.
As the meeting Tuesday will
no doubt be the last one for some
time at which the dairy question
will be considered it is the desire
of the executive committee of
the club that every farmer on
the west side of the prairie,
whether a member of the club at
this time or not, who is interest
ed in dairying or may desire to
secure new dairy stock or other
wise improve his herd, be pre-
sent at this meeting.
Remember, if you are not pre-
sent Tuesday it may be too late
to get into the dairy club later on
so come out, hear fine address,
eat a good meal with your neigh
bors and do your part to help
start this community on the road
to more prosperity on the farm.
Your presence is earnestly re-
quested.
Executive Committee.

INCOME TAX
LIST SMALLER
FEW FARMERS NAMES AP-
PEAR ON 1920 INCOME
TAX LIST REPORT.

The names of those filing in
come tax returns who receive
their mail in Cottonwood for the
year 1920 has just been made
public by the office of Internal
Revenue, with headquarters in
Boise. The Cottonwood list is
growing smaller year by year,
and the 1920 report contains
fewer names than any report so
far sent out by the revenue Of
ficials since the famous income
tax law was put in operation.
One very noticeable feature of
the 1920 report is the absence
of farmers names, which clearly
shows that very little money was
made by the farmers in 1920.
This is attributed to the high cost
of operating expenses about the
farm in 1920 and the low price
received for everything tn e
farmer had to sell. Those whose
names appear on the 1920 in
come tax list and who receive
mail in Cottonwood are as fol-
