FARM EGG LAYING CONTEST
$50 Farms in Delaware Make Report
and Much Enthusiasm is Manifested

80 Farms in Delaware Make Report
and Much Enthusiasm is Manifested
Egg records from one hundred and
fifty farms throughout the state are
included in the report Of the Della
ware Farm Egg Laying Contest for
the month of March, which has rec
emily been issued by H. s. Palmer,
Extension Poultryman Of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, under whose super
vision this work is being conducted in
cooperation with the county agricul-
turaf agents. These $50 farms com
prise a total of 27,289 pullets with
an average production of 16 eggs per
bird, and 1871 hens laying on the
average 14.6 eggs per hen, in addition
to 1918 pullets and hens in mixed
focks whose monthly production av-
eraged 15.9 eggs per bird. According
To the records received by Mr.. Palmer
the flock Of pullets, less than one hun
dred in number which ranked the
highest in egg production for March,
returned an average Of 22.7 eggs per
bird, and the best flock of hens in this
same class laid an average Of Fl eggs
per birds, while the mixed flock pro
duced only 20.7 eggs per bird. In
those hocks ranging in size from 100
to 400 birds, the highest ranking flock
of puIlets laid 24.3 eggs per bird, as
compared to 20.8 eggs from the best
flock Of hens and 23.9 eggs per bird
from the best mixed flock. Records
from all the focks reporting over 400
birds showed that the best flock Of
pullets produced 22.4 eggs per bird.
and the highest flock of hens returned
only 1872 eggs as compared to 2O.1
eggs from each birds in those hocks
consisting Of both hens and pullets
running together. The two import
ant items in profitable poultry raising
at this particular season to be stress
ed by Mr.. Palmer in his monthly re-
port to the members of this egg lay
ing contest are the factors to be con-
sidered in properly caring for the
layers, and the Importance of careful
handling of the young chicks.
Broodiness is one cause of poor
spring production, and can be brec
out Of the flock by using hens fol

It is also suggested that a certain
color Of leg band be placed on the her
each time she goes broody, and wher
she has received four or five bands
it is time to dispose Of her. For con
venience broody coop should be bull
in each laying pen, and the confined
hens fed on laying mash and water
instead Of grain. In selecting the feec
for the laying stock, it is well to re
member that the amount and kind o.
food these birds should receive at thii
season of the year depends upon th'
number Of eggs they laid last wintel
and the amount of flesh they are car
rying at the present time. Birds tina
have laid heavily during the wintei
months are likely to be thin, and un

Unless a sufficient e Of

the factory will not operate this
fall, It vas announced i'm Great
Falls recently by Mark Austin.
agriCulturist for the who.
with w. Y. Cannon, manager of the
Chinook plant, attended a Iun-
cheOn given by the agricultural
committee of the commercial club.
The two officials, accompanied by
George Barlow of Cascade. field man
employed jointly by the sugar coin
pany and the commercial club, went
to Simms in the forenoon and talked
with farmers. In the afternoon, Me-
Cannon and Mr.. Austin went to Con-
rad. G. D. Greenfield, agricultural
agent for the Gerat Northern rail
road, who also attended the lun-
cheOn, went with them to Conrad.
So An Equitable Price
Mr.. Austin, speaking at the lun-
cheOn, said that the Sc contract Of
fered by the company is the highest
the concern can pay. If the price of
sugar advances, for which there is a
fair hope, the beet growers will get
more, he indicated. In Mr.. Austin's
opinion, the 1926 contract of the
Utah-IdahO Sugar company is an
equitable one. 1t would be futile, he
asserted, for the company to con
tract to pay a price which it could not
pay.
Referring to the So in Colorado
and $3.50 in eastern Montana offered
by the Great Western Sugar com
pany, Mr.. Austin said that this price
is apparently intended to eliminate
competitors in eastern Montana anC
in Colorado whom the Great West
eFn believes are seeking to divide ter
ritOry which cannot support more
factories. He said that the Grea.
! Western will lose several million dol
lars in this transaction, but, havinl
a rather large surplus, can afford it
Lost Money Last Year
Last year the U~tah-Idaho compan,
plant at Chinook lost 50 a ton on til.
beets handled, Mr.. Austin asserted
This, he said, was because the crol
was not large enough to cut down tn
prOpOrtiOnate overhead costs of hand
ling a ton of beets. The crop ap
prOximated $4,000 tons. He sal,
that the cost of making the beets IN
to sugar is probably a little NOR
than the price which the grower re
ceives, provided the output is Iarg
enough to permit the factory to op
crate economically
Mr.. Austin recalled the severe ties
which beet growing received in cen
trail and northern Montana last year
He said that he and MI. Canno
found favorable sentiment for bee
culture at Simms and he predicte
that the industry would continue i
the Sun River valley and in the Cas-
cade locality.

"* = From Fort Reno we went on
to Fort. Kearney. The train was
halted by soldiers, three miles from
the new post, and Story was told not
to camp any nearer, as General
Darlington wanted to save the mea-
dOws for the army stock. Also Story
was forbidden to proceed on his
march on account Of the danger from.
Indians along the trail ahead:
We waited two long weeks for
CarringtOn's permission to move on.
One night, Story proposed that we
move ahead without Carrington's
permit. He said if we got started at
night, we could get so far from the
post before morning that none of
the soldiers would dare come after
US, and we could keep on going.
I'VE took a vote on it. There was
only n man against it. We placed
him under guard so that he could not
tell Darlington Of our plan. There
were II mel in the party and all
were well armed.
so, one night, while the post was
asleep, W. pulled out. The first
nights plan was so successful
that we decided to keep up the plan
of travelling nights and camping days.
The result was that we were attacked
only two or three times, and each
time was when we were resting dur
ing the day. We easily stood off the
reds and had no trouble at all Close
to the fort there were more than
5000 Indians. We left Kearney on
the night OF October %. On Deem

fort and killed more than 100 OF

and county commissioners. The
first zone includes all land within
four miles of the railroad and the
tillable land is divided into three
classes.
From four to ten miles from the
railroad comprises the second zone;
10 to 20 miles. the third; each added
10 miles creates a zone up to the
sixth, which takes in all land over 40
miles from the railroad.
The valuation for the n is
fixed as follows: first zone, first
class, SIS; second class, SIG; third
class, $11. Valuations are reduced
so cents for each class in the second
and third zones and 81 for each class
of the remaining zones, making the
sixth zone land, $13 for the first
class; $11 for the second and SIS for
the third.
Grazing land is to be valued at SIS
for the first class; "a for second and

IN THE THEORY that the con-
sumption of lamb and mutton
~ can be increased by increasing
the quality Of the meat, the Montana
Experiment Station is conducting
experiments to determine the kinds
of feeds which will produce the flaw
Ors, most desired by the consumer.
Results already obtained indicate
that certain feeds commonly used
for lamb feeding, produce OdOrs and
flavors in the meat which r highly
Objectionable to the taste. The Ex-
pertinent Station points out that If
no way can be found to cOunteract
the effects of these feeds, feeders will
nave to change their feeding tactics.
AS a part of the feeding experiment
the Experiment Station started two
