The planting of field corn owe
this project this year has been un
usually successful. 1t is estimated al
the farm bureau that double tbs
acreage of last year will be harvest
ed and some excellent results have
been demonstrated on new early
ripening varieties.
The federal farm, conducted by
Mr.. Headley, devoted considerable
space to corn culture at the higr
school ground. In practically all oil
the varieties ripe corn has formed
Mr.. Headley will at the conclusion oil
the harvest make a report to the
farmers and undoubtedly his word
on this matter will be of general in.
terest, as this section will in the fu.
ture devote more acreage to corn
culture.
The frost of Sunday and Monday
evenings did not hurt the corn Ia
any serious extent. 1t is found that
in practically all districts that the
corn was far enough advanced to fill
and ripen.
Makes Hog Feed
The farm bureau, the experiment
farm and the federal agriculturist
have for several years been advocat.
ing raising more hogs and corn. IT
has been demonstrated time and
again that this section will grow all
the corn necessary for hog fattening
and with the extensive dairy inter
ests that are growing each day, the
hog should be the profit maker. Be
tween milk from the dairy and corn
home grown, there is no question
regarding profits.
With the quarantine established
against hay shipments the question
of other products Is being urged by
those interested in the future of this
valley. There is no question but that
the COW population will be doubled
within the next few years, which will
place this valley far In the lead as
regards dairy products. This in con.
nection with corn and hogs is figured
as part of the program for further
development.
Figures Turkey Feed
Those raising turkeys for markei
have been giving attention to corr
culture with excellent results. IL ha.
proven a most excellent fatteninf
feed and has saved a lot in the pur
chase OF wheat for market fattening
The two have been worked to excel

what has been demonstrated here
this season it Is expected corn acre.

season.

The past week has witnessed the
greatest movement in hay that ha3
been recorded this year. In fact, 1t
Is now figured that the major half OF
the available hay has been disposed
Of. In many cases pasturage goes
with the hay and other conditions
have been made. Some outfits do
their own feeding while In some In
stances feeding Is to be done at the
farms. Feed racks are being erected
on many of the comparatively small
farms and In some districts combina
tions are being former by the farm
crs.
Fair Prices Reported
The largest sale was Douglass I'D
Renfro who disposed of 5000 tons
TO Miller & Lux OF San Francisco
Feeders will be moved to the bi 4,
farm in the near future and feeding
is to be taken care of by the purchas-
Ing party II is understood that 81 5
per ton with pasturage was the bar
EaIn
The Kent ranch has also disposed
CT considerable quantity OF hay as
has the Freeman ranch. Fred Wight
man cold his surplus of hay last
week and number of smaller farms
are included In the transfers.
II. a. Pinger has disposed of his
surplus hay. as has the Hartman
ranch, Hall Stewart and several 9th
ers. Many small deals are reported
at the farm bureau and others are
pending. There seems to be every
indiction that all of the $4,000 tons
of surplus hay will be fed in this
valley before spring opens.
Cattle Coming In
Wednesday of this week ESQ head
OF cattle from the Honey Lake valley
district will arrive here for feeding
One hundred and fifty head OF dairy
cattle with four dairymen will be
here and 500 head OF stock cattle
The cattle will be distributed on a
number OF farms. including that OF
Hartman, Stewart and Hall.

STOCK ROAD PLANS
AND PUBLIC PROTESTS

The people of this city have made
vigorous protests against tho driving
OF stock through this city and with
the increased number of stock that
is coming and going there is meri'
In their contention.
Some time ago this matter was
taken up by the county commission
ers as the construction OF a road
leading from the south to the stock
cOrrals meant the expenditure OF con-
siderable county money. the acqulr
ing of rights and the building of sew
eral bridges over the canals. After
several sessions and discussion re.
garding such move Commissioners
Johnson and Harmon voted for thu
construction. Deeds were available
for all OF the land to be crossed and
the only piece that It was necessary
TO purchase was through the Brown
orchard. Arrangements for this pur-
chase had been concluded.
Following the session authorizing
the expenditure OF the money and
the securing OF all right OF ways tho
matter was going through the regu
lar routine before actual work com.
menced.
The resignation of Commissioner
Johnson placed Fred Branch on the
board and he with COMMISSIONS
Rogers again went over the matter
II was their decision that the costs
did not warrant the convenience and
the order was rescinded, thus leaving
the proposition In the asme condition
as before any consideration was
given.
Up To Commissioners
The road, which was ordered by
the vote of Johnson and Harmon
opened up an avenue of travel from
point near the county hospital
through In almost a direct north
route to the cattle corrals. The only
piece of land disturbed would I've
rangements had formerly been made
for such entrance.
II the property holders of Fqllon
feel that this expense should be in
Cured and that this road ia u neces-
sity then they should petition tho
county commissioners, as 1t is en-
tirely within their hands.

THE AMERICAN HEN

II hasn't been so long ago that the
common hen was by-product OF
farming. Little attention was paid to
her because it was thought she con-
sumed enough to make up for what
she produced in eggs and food In
fact, many farmers considered her a
liability, and we've heard Mountain
Home citizens declare There's no
money in keeping chickens"
Today all this has changed. The
hen, responding to better treatment,
and brought to efficiency through
careful breeding, has become a valu-
able asset. A business of more than
100000 a year is done in
America through the hen and her
chickens and her eggs 1t has be-
come a tremendous business. There
are numerous failures, of course,
but most of these failures are due to
lack of understanding, loose BUSH
ness methods and want of intelligent
feeding and sheltering. No other
$4,000 900, 900 business in the world
offers as wide field for the man
whose capital is small. We recently
read where a man in a neighboring
state now sells over $4,000 worth
of chickens and eggs each year, and
started in business with a dozen hens
and two ROSTERS. 1t doesn't require
rich and fertile land upon which to-
raise poultry; in fact expert poultry
men insist that soil filled with grav-
Ell and sand, though with some grass,
of course, really makes the ideal
poultry farm.
We're not encouraging anyone to
drop what they are doing and enter
the poultry business. But we are
trying to point out that many of the
things we often pass up as being
beneath our notice turn out to be
whales in the business world. And |
raising poultry is one of them.
