POTATOES AS CHICKEN FEED
Fed to Best Advantage When Boiled
or Steamed-ShouId Be Supplied
In Limited Quantities.

Potatoes should be boiled or steamed
before being fed to fowls and are fed
to best advantage when mixed with
mash. Since potatoes are quite fat
tening, they should be fed In limited
quantities, preferably to laying hens
or growing chickens, and should be
used in connection with other feeds
One hundred hens will consume about
ten pounds of cooked potatoes daily,
and these potatoes can be used to re-
place cornmeal in the poultry mash.
II so used, an equal weight Of pota-
toes and mash may be mixed together.
A laying mash for this purpose may
be made of: One part meat scrap. one
part middlings, two parts bran, and
four parts potatoes, by weight.-Ex-

BLACKFOOT DEFEATS SHELLEY

Thursday evening the Shelley
high school basket ball team went
down to defeat at the hands of the
local school team by a score of 16
to IL. At the end of the first half
1t looked doubtful as to who would
be the winner. The score stood to
5 in favor of Shelley and the boys
were getting worried but by substi-
tuting in the second half the team
was strengthened and the tide of the
game was turned. They held the
Shelley team to one field goal and
scored five field goals and a foul
pitch themselves. This was the
fourth game of the series and Black
foot has been victorious in three Of
them, which speaks we'll for a team
of new men.
A preliminary game between the
Blackfoot town team and Groveland
was played and proved to be very
fast and interesting. The BlackfootA
team won by score Of 46 to 21 and
used a number of substitutes in the
second half.

thought that they will stand ready to
back the proposition.
Representative Newton's Talk.

greSS from Minnesota, was the prln-
cipal speaker of the evening. He
pointed out what republicans owe
their party and country and their re-
sponsibifities to perpetuate the con-
StructiVe fundamentals of the party.

the proposal of President Harding

the great victory of 1920 against the
democratic fallacy of the league of
naionS.

dent of the association. also was
speaker. After touching upon the basic
principles upon which the republican
party was founded, she devoted most of
her address to- the duties of women to
their country, Stressing their political
responsibilities in participating in gov
ernment by casting their votes at all
elections and said that if, in the coming
campaign. every woman now enjoying
the right to vote, will exercise that right
of freedom, the rsult of the next presi-
Dental election would not be in doubt
and President Harding would be re-
elected. She gave her hearty approval
of the world court proposition of PreSi-
dent Harding.
