SHOVEL
FOR ROADS

A steam shovel for the Rainbow
Route is planned by the State High
way commission for 1928. This big
machine will cost around ten thousand
dollars and will start operations either
at the Half Way House or at Cimarron
and work east toward Sapinero, where
it will be met by the federal aid pro-
ject crossing the Lake Fork.
This is tremendous Improvement,
as steam shovel will move dirt and
rock shot out by 7 N T as fast as dog
ems Of men. There is only one other
steam shovel in the state and that has
been employed on the Wolf creek pass.
Among preliminary appropriations
for Gunnison county roads during the
coming summer are 81 900 for the Bar
dine bridge completion, 5000 for q
bridge south Of Crested Butte, Sa-
guaehe-G Gunnison county line, SO, 900,
and &20, 900 ON the Blue mesa to oper-
ate the steam shovel.

PRODUCTION IS
ON THE GAIN IN PENNA.

The production of capons is a growing
phase of the poultry industray in Penn
sylvania in the opinion of H. D. Nun
roe, head of the poultry extension de-
partment at State College. This is
shown by the large attendance and
great interest at caponizing demonstra-
tions this year.
AS the capon business increases, Mum
roe believes that the heavy or meat
breeds will become more popular. Day.
old chick producers and breeders of
heavy varieties report a rapidly in
creasing demand for chicks that will
make good capons.
Pennsylvania State Poultry Asso-
citation realizes the increasing impor-
tance of capon production and have
made it possible or breeders to show
and advertise their birds at the poultry
show to be held in connection with the
state farm products show at Harrisburg
January p to 25. Liberal prizes viii be
offered in classes of Jersey Black Gil
ants, Light Brahmas, Black Lang

Notes

Slow molting is not always confined
to long, cold seasons-there is COM
plaint this fall that molting is slow.
Also it is claimed that pullets are not
progressing rapidly-this claim is not
borne out by production at the compe-
ton, where very fair yields are being
obtained.
Successful farmers are giving the
same general good care to poultry these
days that they give to other branches
of agriculture; in consequence these
farmers are getting more eggs and very
greatly increased labor income.
