Evergreen News.

The dance at the Evergreen
school Saturday evening was well
attended and would have been a
complete success but for a sleigh
load of folks that came out from
town, whom we had always thought
were nice young folks. These
young men were not content with
the beautiful moonlight evening,
but must have emptied bottle of
moonshine as well. This is the
first time of all the dances given
at the Evergreen, we have had

how to act the gentleman. We

Owns Phelps Farm.

Frank Grmack, who was in
Eagle River last Wednesday from
Phelps, together with his father
Peter Grmack are breeders of
fancy chickens-single and rose
comb Rhode Island Reds and Buff
Orpingtons. They own a farm a
short distance from the village of
Phelps and have been operating
the farm for the past thirteen
years. For several years they
have been charging their chicken
production, and have now big
flock of splendid fowls which they
are marketing to others for breed
ers. There are a number of far
mers in the vicinity of Phelps
who are going into the chicken in
dustry on large scale. They
have been furnishing the various
resorts in that section with broil-
ers during the summer season and
are finding that properly handled
is money maker.

American Legion
Say Early Spring.

The old Indian weather prophets
on the Bad River Reservation at
Odanah predict that the remain
ing cold weather for this winter
will be slight and that spring will
be with us at an early date Eddie
Day Tribe Spokesman, and general
adviser to the old Chiefs states
that according to all reports from
the old timers, who make prac-
tice of Judging the coming wealth
er, that the Grounding was
right"
The Indians base their theory
that there will be very little cold
weather left this winter; that
spring is close at hand by the fact
that the small game is now COM
ing into the open country. They
maintain that at this time of the
year, if cold weather is to come,
small game; such as rabbits, squir-
rels, etc., stick to the woods and
sheltered places.
Most of the rabbits on the Res
ervation are now heading for the
open territory, and thousands of
tracks are found ON the rivers,
and the lakes. Other game is al
so breaking away from the shell
tered places and are coming into
the open.
Indian trappers also state by the
weight and the condition of the
fur on the animals trapped show
that there will be an early let up
of winter.-New North, Rhine

authorities in q number Of the agfs-
cultural colleges started to study
these differences. As q result of
these very careful studies and OBJ
serVations q system of detecting
good and poor layers was developed.
Since that time the methods have
been greatly improved upon, so that
today very good results can be OBJ
tanned in determining laying hens
from lying hens-in telling the pro-
fitable from the Improbable hens.
OF course, it. is admitted that the
only absolutely accurate method is
the use of the trap nest.
In 1927, in order to show poultry
people in Imperial Valley what ex-
cellent results could be obtained by
this system of culling, a flock of
hens was culled by the Agricultural
Extension Service for q poultry
raiser residing near Holtville. In
this flock, during the ten days be-
fore culling, the 22S hens layed
1917 eggs. Forty-six hens were
cullcd out and in the following ten
days laid 40 eggs or q little over
one apiece. The remaining 1872 hens
laid 1914 eggs in the tenN days or
nearly six eggs apiece. This person
was feeding % per cent of her flock
as boarders. The same was shown
to be true last year and in 1922.
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice started conducting poultry Gull
ing demonstrations in 1920 to show
poultry raisers that the methods de-
vcloped by the poultry specialists of
the various agricultural colleges
were effective and practical for
farmers to use in detecting and
wedding out Improbable hens. In
one month of that year COG hens or
10 per cent were culIed out Of 3202
birds handled. previous to culling,
these 1902 hens laid 12,079 eggs, be
ing 81 per cent production. After
culling the selected hens laid 10,547
eggs in 10 days, or Al per cent pro-
duction, while the culls only laid
223 or a 3 per cent production.
All of which does show that for
the average farmer who cannot af-
ford to trapnest, the method of Gull
ing as advocated by the Agricultural
Extension Service is practical and
can be and is used successfully and
profitablv.

Demonstrations Of pruning date
palm tree trunks and offshoot plant

attended by many Imperial Valley
date growers. The meetings we're
called for l0:00 n. m. and continued
until 3 p. IN. According to r. l..
Garthwaite, farm advisor of Imper-
ial county, who attended the meet
ings they were quite successfully
carried on with good attendance and
fine talks.
Four automobile loads of local
people went up for the meetings,
which were held near Indio and at
tho Narboone date ranch. DR.. Wal
ter 7. Swingle, one of the foremost
authorities on date culture, gave a
splendid talk on the pruning of the
trunks of date palms, which prov
ed of great interest to the growers
who heard him.
The culture and planting of date
palm offshoots was the subject npon
which A. j. Shamblin, expert at
the government station at Indio,
talked. His explanations cleared up
several problems for men who are
contemplating increasing their gar
dcns. X. j, Gridley of the Mar

|. Y. Farm Advisor Gives Much
Interesting Data ON Poultry,
= Culling Of UnprofitabIe Hens

In order to give people in I'm
pcrial Valley who own poultry n
chance TO learn the methods of Gull.
ing unprofitable hens as advocated
by the University Of California, ar
rangements have been made for a
series OF poultry culling demonstra-
tions 10 be held on the afternoons
of June ls, 10 and 90. As soon as
defenite locations have, been ar
ranged, announcement will be made
through the Press.
Imperial Valley farmers who own
poultry, whether the number be a
dozen or thousand are interested in
what is costs for each dozen eggs
which these hens produce, and what
price is received for each dozen eggs.
according to +, l.. Garthwaite, farm
advisor, who has written the fol-
lowing interesting article regarding
poultry.
The items entering into the cost
of eggs are feed, labor, equipment,
stock, buildings, and to offset this
imposing arrage of cost items, the
average price received through the
year is 22 cents per dozen consid-
ering that so per cent of the eggs
are laid when the price in Imperial
Valley is l5 cents to Is cents.
The largest single item Of cost
Of producing the dozen eggs is that
of feed. Therefore poultry raisers
must aim to get as high efficiency
from the feed given to the poultry
as possible. With average good
hens proper care and attention the
cost of the feed plus the cost of the
other items will be less than the
prieo received for the eggs, because
those hens use n minimum of that
feed for body maintenance and q
maximum for egg production.
unfortunately poultry farmers are
confronted with the problem of the
hen that does not produce enough to
pay even for the cost of feed, let
alone any other items of cost. Are
there any poultrymen who do not
believe that there is n difference in
the number of eggs which different
hens will produce? That is hardly
possible, when one stops toarcon-
slider the difference in all other
animals--in human beings.

Pioneer Ella ted
At the Changed
Conditions Here

E. +. Howe, for many years in the
newspaper business in the valley,
who is now the market editor of
| the Pacific Rural Press in San Fran
cisco, writes to the Imperial Valley
Press that he is amazed to see from
that point of observation the vastly
important, place this section has TAX
en- in the affairs of the state. He
writes:
| "The first time / ate melons in
Imperial Valley was in 1902, and ev
crybdy who sampled them realized
that they were about as fine fodder
as ever came the way of man. And
yet, it would have been the widest
of dreamers-who would have fore
told that the valley was utterly to
revolutionize the cantaloupe indus
trv of America, which now is real
ization.
"'We thought then that the time
would come when we could force the
products of the valley into a place
in the markets of the country, but
we did not imagine that the time
would come when those markets
would be absolutely surrendered to
the valley.
"There are a number of us who
can recall the time when a few
grape vines were planted in the val
ley, in the hope that grapes could
be produced there at a profit ear
lier than in other parts of the coun-
try. l know that when / arranged
for the planting of a dozen varieties
of Persian grapes as an experiment
| felt l was doing something worth
while, and when, several years lat
er, it seemed that the grape Indus
try was failure because the fruit
could not be got to market without
serious decay, the disappointment
in the community was general. But
that difficulty was overcome, and
the grape industry of the valley is
following along the same sensation
al path to triumph as was found
by the cantaloupe industry.
Looking back on my nearly 90
years of residence in Imperial Val
ley, balanced with my knowledge of
the reception of products of the sec
tion now receive at the big coast
cities, it really seems to me that
those of us who pioneered the val
ley in its days of discouragements
did do something that was worth
while, and with the start the region
now has in the mastery of the mar
kets of the country, l cannot see a
limit to to possibilities of the fu-
ture."
