specialist of the Agricultural college,
in company with H. A. Ireland. Pro
ject Agriculturist under the Reclaim

| Last Thursday morning a meeting
was held at Carl Davis near Cory,
there, being about thirty present. Mr.,

white leghorns, far above the aver.
age.
There were about twenty at the
meeting at the Hugo jacob ranch on
California mesa Thursday afternoon
On Friday three meetings we're
held on Bone Mesa.
On Saturday an all-day meeting was
held at the home OF F. E. Willis in
Peach Valley. about 65 or 10 .be:ns
present. A picnic dinner was held at
noon. and at this meeting the hous.
ing breeding and feeding, as well as
culling Of poultry were discussed.
Monday morning the demonstration
was held at the H. E. Byerrum ranch
on California Mesa, and in the after.
noon at the F. s. Sayre ranch on Ash
Mesa. The report from Mr.. Sayre's
place is that he has especially good
birds. which have already been we'll
culled. Mr.. Ireland says that about
one-third Of the fowls culled are as
good as the best shown by many
breeders.
Other meetings scheduled were at
the T. P. Davis and o. H. Penticufr
ranches on Garnet Mesa; J. M. Wilde
boor. Wheatland; J. S. Henderson
and c. A. Wright, California Mesa,
and w. B. Ensign, wheatland. Today
the gentleman will work in the Olathe
vicinity.
Regarding the Importance of weed
ing out all Improbable hens, Mr.. Ire
land cites the following instance:
Two flocks at Canon City on which
careful records were kept for a year,
have returned net profits OF s211
and s2.39 respectively per hen. This
is above the original cost, and charg-
ing the hens 35c per hour for all the
labor; interest on investment; taxes
and everything in connection there
with, and based on a price of 30c per
dozen for eggs. The idea is not to
produce more eggs. but to produce the
same number of eggs at less cost.
and with fewer number Of hens.

He captured the tifty-yard dash with
ease in the indoor QuadS Of 1920. IL
one of the heats he broke the world :
scholastic record of SOB, but his time
Of 5.02 was not allowed because he was
running with the wind. In the final
heat he equaled the record, which, by
the way, is held by Rainey.
The following June in the outdoor
quads Walter copped both the 100 and
220 yard dashcs with ease. Here again
he showed wonderful form.
