Of POI per bird per year. This average
will probably be increased by this
pen-it is we'll within probabilities
that the winning pen will run over
this total.
None Of the competitions have ever
produced a winning pen with an
average as low as POI eggs per bird
for the five in the winning pen and
this low average is not expected this
year.
It is also true that the greater
number of eggs are laid in the last
half of the year, from the 9th to
Sind weeks inclusive.
Decided changes can take place in
positions of the pens as they stand
at present-these changes may come
with spring fecundity or may be de-
layed until some time later in the
year. but undoubtedly changes will
take place.

Each week the subjolned table Will
set forth such superficial character
lstics as indicate prOductiveness OF
each individual in certain pens. The
CO racteristics Indicating productive
ness are:
1. Color Of face, comb and WattlOS.
2. Length OF body.
3. Condition OF feathers.

PRUNING WILL GET RESULTS
Fruit Trees, Vines and Bushes, as
We'll as FIowsring shrubbery,
Require Trimming.


Fruit trees, fruit vines and bushes
as well as Towering bushes, require
careful pruning to get the best results
fruit and flowers.
There is some difference Of opinion
as to whether the pruning should be
done in the fall or in the early spring.
Despite the argument as to the time,
the pruning is absolutely necessary If
crops are to be the best possible un-
der weather, soil or other conditions
that may prevail in any particular To-
cality.
In pruning fruit or Towering trees
and vines it is well for the one who
wields the pruning knife to know just
how to do fhe work. One not ac-
quainted with the operation would
best post up on the task before one
seriously wounds the trees or vines.
1t is not a difficult task, but one that
is as necessary each year as cultiva-
tion-for crops cannot be expected un.
less the proper attention is given.

Harvard Classics state that the Fables
of Aesop are distinctly Eastern in
their origin, and are the common her
itage of the human race. Professor H.
Thurston Peck says of the Fables:
Their teachings are the teachings of
universal experience and therefore ap-
peal irresistibly to the consciousness
of everyone" The demand for "Aesop
Film Fables" cartooned by Paul
Terry, for showing in schools is in

shallow pit to IS inches deep, ac
cOrding to locality, and pack 1t full
of fermenting stable manure. The
manure, before being placed in the pit,
should be turned over once or twice
in pile in order to insure even heat
ing. 1t may then be packed into the
hOtbed pit and tramped uniformly.
Standard hotbed sashes are feet
wide and feet fbng, and the size Of
the bed should be made to suit the
number of sashes employed. A frame
work of boards IS to "a inches high
at the back and about 12 inches high
In front is placed over the manure
filled pit to support the sash.
Use for Thermometer.
About or 4 inches Of fine garden
loan is spread evenly over the manure
and the bed allowed to stand four or
five days to warm up before any seed
is sOwn. At first the temperature Of
the bed may run rather high, and 1t
is best to delay planting the seeds in
it until it begins to decline. This can
best be determined by planting a ther-
mometer with the bulb about three
inches below the surface of the soil.
The temperature should fall below 85
degrees before seeds are planted.
If classified sashes are not avail
able for covering the hotbed, heavy
muslin may be used instead; the glass,
however, makes the most desirable
form of covering. Care must be taken
to give the bed sufficient ventilation to
prevent Overheating, as 1t is liable to
heat up very rapidly when the sun
shines full upon the glass. Watering
should be done during the early part
OF the day and the bed given enough
air so that the plants will dry off be-
fore night. The bed should be closed
before evening, in order to conserve
enough heat to carry it through the
night in good condition. If the wealth
er should turn severely cold, COW
ering Of straw, blankets or canvas
may be thrown over the bed to pro-
tect 1t.
CoIdframe Construction.
A cOldframe is constructed in exact.
ly the same manner as a hotbed, with
The exception that no manure is placed
beneath it to supply heat.
Before the plants are set in the gar
den, either from the hOtbed or the
,oldframe, they should be gradually
hardened to outside conditions by CIV
ng them more ventilation each day.
Finally, remove the sashes entirely on
fright days and replace them during
he nights. The aim should be to
produce strong, healthy plants that
will make a quick start when placed
Il the garden.

Proper selection of seeds with which
% plant a garden is stressed by. the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t should be the aim of every
home gardener this year to grow a
better garden by making the most in
telligent use of the available space,
not only by employing better methods,
but by planting seeds of the highest
quality. The first cost of seeds is
comparatively small, but it is very i'm
pOrtant that the seeds planted should
be the very best Obtainable.
Gardeners are advised to secure the
catalogues Of reliable seed firms and
spend a little time in going over and
checking up the seeds that will be
needed for planting.
Do not be misIed by the highly
colOred and much-advertised novelties,
but stick to the standard, well-knOwn
and proved varieties, advise the spe-
cialists. Good seeds should never be
wasted, so figure carefully upon the
amount required and place your order
early before the best stocks are ex-
hausted. Perhaps the seeds can be
bought from local dealers. If not, or
ders should go to a seed house in some
neighbOring city, so the seeds may be
received in ample time. When they
are received, unpack and check them
to see that no part Of the order has
been overlooked; then store the seeds
f,,
such as a perforated tin box. They
should be kept in moderate tempera-
ture, and where they will not freeze
or be exposed to moisture.
Have Early Vegetables.
Half the pleasure and profit of a
garden is derived from having some
thing to use just as early in the spring
as possible. In many cities and towns
the local greenhouse men grow thou
sands of plants which are sold to |
home gardeners at reasonable prices. |
1t often happens, however, that home !
gardeners do not have the opportunity |
to purchase well7grOwn plants and |
must start their own supply of early |
plants in the house or in hOtbed if |
they desire to have their crops mature |
early. Among the garden crops that
may be started to advantage in this
manner are tomatoes, early cabbage,
eggplant and lettuce; even
melons, beets, snap beans,
lima beans and sweet corn may be
started indoors by using flower pots,
paper bands, or berry boxes to hold
he soil.
Where the required number of plants
Is too great for growing in window
boxes, a hotbed or cOldframe may be
provided. The usual method of con-
a hOtbed is first to dig a

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES

Much commendabIe interest has been
manifested lately in the high school
debates. A series Of debates have
been held among the surrounding
towns on the question Of the free use
Of the Panama canal BY American

Last Monday Florence NilIsaps and
Iva Silva went TO Jerome to argue the
affirmative side Of the question with
the Jerome negative team consisting
Of Joseph Wren and Lewis Terley.
The judges gave q unanimous decision
in favor Of the negative team.
The same day, Hiram Fry and Le-
Roy Storey representing the Jerome
affirmative team. came to Shoshone
and contested with Kenneth CondIyn
and William Ryan, the shoshone neg
ative team. The debate was held at
the high school auditorium. Monday
afternoon. The judges here also gave
the negative team a unanimous de-
cision.
The affirmative teams seem to have

that the educational program Of the
state was becoming top-heavy and was
likely to fall of it's own weight; 1t
pointed out that unless there was cur
tailment all along the line it might be
that many districts woud find that
they were not financially able to main
| tain nine-month school-might find
that the high school would have to be
abandoned If the grade schools We're
to be saved. For this it was charged
with being against education"
1t was certainly no more against
education then than is the Gooding
Grange against education now. The
grange generally is for education be-
cause it is primarily an educational
organization itself.
IT,. go saws It ia financially i'm
possible 10 carry out suz-.s-sti- 49,
gram, and that is what The News has
said time and again. Therefore the
grange favors an abandonment of the
non n-essentiaIs and that is common
practical sense. 1t may be that this
abandonment used. need not be per-
manent-it may be that conditions will
improve to an extent that they may
be later re-instated. It is hoped so. /
But If not they viii have TO be done
without and the grange is ready TO do /
its part.
While all Of the suggestions made by I
the grange and the woolgrowers may +
not be practicable at this time, some
of them plainly are, and they are do
ing a public service by calling attention
20 the matter.
There is room for many other civic
and social organization to find a place
in the procession with the grange. ana
they should do so and make demands
SO strong that the feasible. practical
everyday economies and reforms viii
be speedily realized.
The recent official tax statement
presented by the Boise Statesman
showing that the 49,. $50 people Of Ida +
ho are being taxed s9Oo0OoO for edu-
eation. IS sufficient justification for the
sweeping demands made by the Good
ng Grange.-North Side News.

SECURING ATTENTION

| During the past week two different
organizations in the state have met and
! passed resolutions that are significant.
The woolgrowers passed resolutions de-
manding the repeal of the game laws
and the adjustment Of the game de-
partment. The Gooding Grange adopt
ed resolutions asking for material re-
duetions in the expense Of operating
the Big Wood Canal system and also
suggesting many changes and econo-
my measurers in the conduct of the
public school and in the school Jaws.
1t is likely that neither of these or
ganizations expect that the sugges-
tions and demands Of the resolutions
adopted win be realized completely and
literally In both instances, and es-
pecially in the action of the woolgrow-
ers. the demands are quite drastic.
This is likely for the purpose Of waking
somebody up ami securing attention.

resolution or demand, made by either
the woolgrowers or the Grange would
likely receive no notice at all.
Both will however have performed
a valuable public service if the dras-

mands they secure correction OF recog-
nized faults and abuses IN bosh de-
partments OF the state.
