AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY II. G. seyrorth,

Fifteen poultry culling demonstra-
tons were held in the county the
past week. The average attendance
was 10. The meeting held at Elm
wood, Wednesday evening was at
tended by the largest number. The
che held onthe farm of Arnold Rein
Ike, Rock Elm, was attended by 35,
the largest number at a farm dem
cnstration. At each place the treat
ment of lice and mites was taken up.
Carbolineum should be used on the
nests and roosts for mites and sodi-
um flouride, one ounce to one gallon
Of water, for lice. One pound of
sodium flouride wonld be sufficient
to treat about 500 hens. The hens
should be dipped thoroughly on a
warm day, If they have large
number Of lice, dip about three or
four weeks apart. A number Of
people are using these preventatives
and report them very successful.
The feeding of dry mash was en-
phasized vevy strongly, and those
who are feeding a dry mash are
holding up their egg production.
The dry mash recommended is:
100 pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds
ground corn, 100 pounds ground oats
o, barley, 100 pounds middlings, 100
pounds meat scraps and three pounds
Of salt. This is to be kept in mash
hopper where the hens have access
to it at all times.
We found three hen houses being
erected according to the new plan.
One is already in use and is very
satisfactory. The lumber yards in
Pierce County have the bulletin show
ing the new plan of hen house, and
they will be glad to show this to you.
Now is the time to Gull your flocks
and sell the culls as hens are bringing
2 good price and the market is ia
bic to drop any time. Anyone wish
ing to fatten his poultry can use the
following ration: 200 pounds meat
scraps, 200 pounds flour wheat MIDI

YOUNG PEOPLES CONFERENCE
HELD AT GREEN LAKE

The River Falls Congregational
church sent four young people to the
fourth annual Wisconsin Young PEG
pies Convention which was held
July 4-10 at Green Lake. The dele
gates came back full of enthusiasm
for the conference. Plans are al
ready afoot to send larger delega-
ton next year.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1925-07-23

AlhS year > convention was con-
sidered by the authorities to be the
most successful of the four confer
ences held. 1t was also the largest
there being about $50 delegates,
representing churches in southern
and central parts of Wisconsin.
River Falls Representation probably
travelled farther than any others to
get to the camp. Practically all dele
gates there were juniors or seniors in
high schools or in the first two
years in college or university. Mar
quette, Carroll and Wisconsin U
were some of the higher schools
represented.
Green Lake is seven miles long
and one mile wide. The thickly freed
shores make it a beautiful body of
water. To see the. sunset at Green
Lake is reason enough alone to make
the trip worth while.
The camp grounds at Green Lake
are owned jointly by the Congrega-
tionalists, Presbyterians and Bap
lists. Each of these denominations
are having their own conferences on.
the same grounds this year, one fol-
lowing the other in the above order.
The grounds are improved as much
as possible each year, this year by
electric lights and sanitary system.
Delegates room in dormitories or cot
tages and all eat in one main dining
hall.
An excellent faculty, headed by DR..
Robert Gamman, Congl Dist. Sec.
of Chicago, offered a course of in
struction dealing with Bible and
Missionary study and methods for
leaders in different phases of Sun
day School and young peoples work.
Although not much can be done in
few days Of classes, nevertheless
many helpful and interesting things
were learned. Glasses were held only
in the forenoons, the afternoons be-
ing left free for recreation, part of
which was organized.
The delegates were divided into
four groups each of which had an
elder as an advisor. Each section
had to evolve and rehearse a stunt
to put on stunt night. Several of
these were very clever and interest
ing. The groups also had a baseball
teatm made upio of both boys and girls,
that played the other teams in an
elimination tourney for the cham
pionship. In addition volleyIball,
tennis, boating, hikes and swimming
were all in the course of the day
events.
The young people were given
many opportunities to take part of
the responsibility of the camp upon
themselves. For instance, both the
morning and evening Sunday SER
vices were planned and conducted by
the young people Devotional and
entertainment committees made up
of students handled those sections of
the days activities; students coun-
ell whose members were elected by
the various dormitories took care of
the discipline cases; daily news
paper was also put out entirely by
the students. These activities gave
the students experience that would
be useful in their home communities.
Throughout the whole camp the
Falls representative were impressed
by the spirit of the conference. Most
of the people had a serious purpose
for being there but this in no way
overshadowed their pep and enthus-
iasm..
1t was indeed, a delightful and
worthwhile experience and the local
delegates are grateful to the wo-
mems organization of the church
who gave them the opportunity to at
tend the conference.

AUSTIN. Texas, Dec. 31.-No federal
highway funds werei involved in the suit
Of the State of Texas against the Amer
lean Road company, wherein the state
recovered $600,000, Attorney General
Dan Moody stated Wednesday in COM
municatioh to J. f. McCarl, comptroller
general of the United States.
The communication was made in re-
ply to a query from McCarl, who re
quested information as to whether any
federal funds were involved.
After recounting the history Of the
suit in Fifty-thrd district court here,
Moody wrote: Following the conclu-
sion Of the trial What with money
that then was in the highway fund Of
Texas and that which was recovered
from the American Road company. anu
with tax money which was paid into
the highway fund about that time, it is
the understanding Of this department
that the highway fund has been suffi-
cientiy replcnished to enable the high
way commission to pay the federal
money, which has been received from
the United States, to the parties to
whom the same IS due
He further stated that "thc money
recovered by the State Of Texas from
the American Road company belonged

AIM
OF N. P, SAYS
S. P. IN BRIEF
Copy of Document Filed
in Washington Recei-
we'd by Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce

The Missouri Pacific Railway system
is virtually charged with an attempt to
monopolize the Rio Grandc Valley for
itself in brief prepared by Southern
Pacific attorneys, copy Of which has
been received at the Brownsville Cham
bcr Of Commerce.
The brief has been filed " the South
crn Pacific in Washington, in behalf Of
the application Of that system TO extend
the San Antonio & Aransas Pass into
the Valley Hearing before the inter
state Commerce Commission at Wash
ington on the application is set for
January %
The Missouri Pacific, the brief charg
cs. shows disposition to surround
and appropriate the Rio Grande Valley
to the exclusion Of competition"
Besides making its argument for the
Sap extension the brief gives the testi-
mony of many witnesses who appeared
at the hearing before Commissioners
Woodlock at Brownsville from October
to g.
The extension from Falfurrias to the
international boundary, a distance Of
IS miles, would cost $3,146,685 or $685.
S35 per mile and the Edinburg- Har-
lingen extension would cost $l.476l71
OF $4,000 per mile. the brief estimates.
The extension, the brief says. would
merely carry out the plan originated in
1903 when the line was built from Alice
to Falfurrias and building was discon-
tinued because Of circumstances over
which it had no control. CONSTRUCTION
Of the extension would enable the Sap
TO compete with the Gulf Coast Lines
as an outlet to rich agricultural sec
tion, the brief says.
1t is estimated receipts for the exten-
sion the first year would be $l,278,O52
and that a steady increase would be
noted reaching S2,OO1 ,02O in the fifth
year
Taking McAllcn as representative
point it is asserted that the extension
would shorten the distance from the
Valley to San Antonio, 35 miles, to
Houston 80 miles. to New Orleans "a
miles and to Dallas 1876 miles.
The extension, it is asserted. would
make the Sap self-supporting. That
Dad, ii says, has never earned a fair
return, while the Gulf Coast Lines have
earned far above the 6 per cent provided
in the transportation act.
