INTEREST IN POULTRY
Is GROWING RAPIDLY

Saltwater, Okla, Feb. 14.-That q
state which only little more than
thirty years ago was depending solely
upon prairie chickens as fowl for the
table should in that time build up
farm flocks to number 11,912,5S4
seems sufficient proof of the state
ment that interest in poultry in Okla
homa is growing by leaps and
bounds.
But farmers might have done that
by the use of mongrel hens, if the
hens laid we'll enough.
The most encouraging feature is
that farmers no longer are willing to
continue merely ''risin' chickens
a neglected sideline; they're going in
now to make it poultry industry"
placing it on business and scien-
( tific basis.
One indication of this is the fact
that almost four thousand poultry
shows were held last year, including
state, county and school district ex-
hibits.
Another is that, at the request Of
farmers, county agents and experts
from the Extension Division of Okla
homa A. and NJ. College, during that
year, held more than 1000 culling
demonstrations in the various coun.
ties.

him to pay fine in the amount
equal to Legion dues. Universal
success attends this method over

graduate from the Union Theological
Seminary this spring and has accepted
call to the church in Manchester,
where he will begin his regular pas.
torate in few weeks.
From its being his first sermon in
his new church, Mr. Ten Dyke in his
sermon was discussing belief and doc
trine and relative subjects and spoke
particularly of the proof of the truth
and sureness Of the Christian faith
which does not even require Scripture,
miracles, history or ancient faith to
establish 1t but is rendered unmistak-
able and absolute by the change and
benefit that comes to the person who
actually lives the Christian life.
Just as Mr. Ten Dyke approached
the climax of his paroration beauti-
full VIII te dove flew in at window that
had been opened a few inches and
circ,ed seven times over the head OF
the youung pastor. The dove then
lighted on narrow ledge back of the
pulpit.
The dove remained in its position
there during the remainder Of the
service, but just as Mr. Ten Dyke was
pronouncing the Bened ction, left the

minister's head and few out Of the
