Parkhurst Advises on
Feeding Young Chickens

The inexperienced grower feeds too
soon after chicks are Matched, says
Prof. R. T. Parkhurst, head of the
University of Idaho poultry husban-
dry department.
No feed" he continues, Should be
given before the chicks are from 48
to 60 hours old. This delay is to per-
init the absorption of egg yolk that
has previously been taken into the
body of the chick before it was
Matched. Dip the beak into sour milk
or buttermilk as the chick is put into
the brooder. In addition to milk, the
chicks should have plenty of chick
grit, bone meal, and charcoal at their
disposal. No water is necessary for
the first two weeks If plenty of milk
is given. The milk fountain should
be cleaned thoroughly at each filling.
For the first two weeks the young
chicks should be fed five times daily
with such feeds as dry oatmeal, bread
soaked in milk and fed crumbly, or
hard boiled eggs chopped up fine, or
little bran. A scratch feed of two
parts fine cracked wheat and one part
Of hulled or 'pinhead' oats and two
parts of cracked corn, or a good
grade of commercial feed can be sub
stjtuted after the third day. The
amount of feed should be regulated so
that the chicks will be little hungry
at all times except after the evening
meal. A small handful of scratch for
each 100 chicks is about the right
amount for the first few days for each
feed. Besides mash and scratch
feed, chopped clover, alfalfa, or
sprouted oats is a very satisfactory
additional feed"

SWAT THE FLY!

Now is the time that Mr.. and Mrs
Fly are crawling out of their snug
winter homes, stretching themselves
In the sunshine. and looking around
for place favorable for the produe-
ton of innumerable progeny. And 1t
behooves all of US, for the sake OF
cleanliness and health, even life, to-
get out the fly swatter, screen our
windows and doors, invest in sticky
fly papers and fly poisons, eliminate
all possible breeding places, and earn
estly and endlessly wage warfare
against Mr.. and Mrs. Fly and all their
children, deadly and relentless war
fare; for the fly family are murderers
OF children, prisoners of food, carriers
of filth and disease. There is no
place for him in our homes.
The fly's favorite breeding place is
the manure pile, though it may lay
Its eggs in any wet, warmer or decay
ing animal or vegetable matter-so
long as 1t Is decaying and filthy the
fly makes itself at home. And from
this home 1t sails forth to enter our
homes, II possible, light on our food
and leave trail of dirt and disease.
In farm houses, in small commu-
mites and even In neglected sections
OF large cities, disease germs of many
kinds are carried from filth to food.
This contaminated food, taken intD
the stomach, infects mankind and n
responsible for the spread of num-
Der OF unnecessary intestinal and
other diseases among others, typhoid
and dysentery.
Swat fly today and you will have
saved swatting his thousands of de-
scendants in the warmer months to
come. And be sure has has been
swatted for keeps" not Just
stunned, from which condition he may
arise as vigorous as ever within q
few hours.
II only one or two rooms can be
screened ,the dining room and kitch-

OF illness, the sickroom should be
screened, especially IL the disease IN
infections. But, in all events, lot
your summer slogan be: Swat the

WILL CELEBRATE 3ooTH ANNIVERSARY

| Just as elaborate preparations are
under way for the celebration of the
Booth anniversary of the founding OF
Salem, Massachusetts on July OF
this year, along comes controversy
as to whether the settlement took
place in 1926 or 1928.
William G.. Endicott, president OF
the Essex Institute and lineal de
scendant of John Endicott, has an
nounced that the Institute, the local
antiquarian society, would not partici
pate in the celebration. He takes this
stand on the ground that John Endi
colt, who landed in Salem, then
Naumkeag, in 1928, bringing with him
the charter Of the settlement, really
settled the place, and not Roger Con.
ant. The latter with number Of fol.
lowers, settled in Naumkeag in 1926.
Conant and his companions, according
to Mr.. Endicott, were "squatters and
fishermen"
Mr.. Endicott quoted the celebration
of the 250th anniversary in 1878 as
having been commemorative of the
settlement of Salem" AS matter
Of fact, papers Of that day allude to
the affair as the 250th anniversary OF
the landing of Gov. Endicott, which
occurred two years after the arrival
of Roger Conant and his band. Con-
ant really created the original settle
ment on the site of what is now the
City of Salem.
A celebration, private affair, in
which the town took no official part,
was given by the Essex Historical
Society, predecessor of the Essex In
stitute, in 1928. Just SO years later,
the Essex Institute celebrated the
"250th anniversary of the landing of
Gov. Endicott" on September IS, 1878
In petition to the General Court
in 1871, Roger Conant stated that it
was he who saved the "settlement'
and it is obvious that had he not set
tied the place, there would have been
no settlement to save.
1t was several years after the city
was chartered before a seal was
adopted, due to the fact that George
Peabody, who designed it, had the
date of settlement as 1923. After
a two-year discussion the council
changed the date to 1926, thus official
ly recognizing Roger Conant as the
rightful founder of Salem.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Endicott
bases his arguments on the grounds

Celebrates Fifty Years
j. Residence on Coast

WINLOCK.-John G. Lawrence,
manager Of the Winlock branch of
the Washington Egg & Poultry Asso-
citation, last week celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his arrival on
the Pacific Coast. The Lawrence
family at that time consisted OF a
widowed mother and seven children,
ranging in age from 5 to 81.
The trip was started from Chicago
on special emigrant train over the
Union Pacific, which had then been
built only short time. The trip
consumed three weeks, and part of
1t was through binding blizzard.
The prairies possessed vast herds of
antelope and bison, and 1t was COM
mon thing for the emigrants to shoot
wild game from the train windows.
The train ride ended at San Fran
cisco, from where the family went by
boat to Oregon. Two years later they
went to Eastern Washington.

INTIMATE SET WILL COST
LESS TO RUN THAN 1-TUBE
DOES TODAY SAYS PRIESS

Radio engineers are concentrating
a great deal Of energy on the problem
of lessening the upkeep costs of the
increasingly powerful receivers de-
mands by the public.
The tendency is definitely toward
multitude sets. Recently it was pre-
dicted by William H. Priess, widely
accomplished engineer and president
of the Press Radio Corporation, that
in few years there would be only
two classes of receivers; one-tube
sets and another class with range
from IL to 16 tubes. He foresaw the
entire elimination of four, five, six
and seven-tube sets, so common to-
day.
On the problem of up-keep expense
for multitude sets, Mr.. Press said
the other day:
ut will hardly be consideration
at ALL The ultimate set, operating
directly from the electric lighting cir
cult in the home, will be more eco
nomical in power cost than a 1-tube
set operating off set of dry batter
les. The tubes themselves are all the
time decreasing in cost and it will
not be long before their price should
approximate that of the ordinary cleo
trio light bulb"
Mr.. Press estimates the operating
life of tube at about 1000 hours.
With average use this means tube
can be used two years.

farm women's camps to be sponsored
by the university home demonstration
service this summer have been an
nounced by Miss Marian E. Hepworth,
state leader of home demonstration.
The camp season will open in the
Southwest, at Starke Hot Springs,
the scene of last years one outing.
Among the counties included in this
district are Adams, Payette, Washing
ton, Ada, Gem, Canyon, and Owyhee.
The dates are July 6, z and 8. The
second camp will be available to WON
en- in the extreme southeastern group
of counties which includes Bear Lake,
Franklin, Oneida and Caribou. It will
be held July July IA, Is and 16.

third outing which comes July 81, %,
and %. This camp includes in it's
district those counties adjacent to and
north of Bannock.
The northern district camp will be
held in Kootenai County August A.,
5 and 6.
More definite plans for the outings
will be announced shortly. Miss Hep
worth has been assured that Miss
Madge Reese, Of Washington, D. G.,
will attend two of the camps. Ac-
cording to tentative arrangements Dr.
A. H. Upham, president of the uni
versity, expects to attend at least
one camp; Permeal J. French, dean
of women, two. camps; and Dean e.
j. Iddings as many as possible, per-
haps all. e. r. Bennett, extension
horticulturist will be present at one
camp.
The camps are planned as vacation,
outings, and schools for farm wom-
en-. The dates are set at time when
work is lightest on the farm, when
more women can be spared from farm
homes than at almost any other time
during the camping season.
The 1924 outing at Starkey Hot
Springs was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent. 1t was attended by $50
women, three time as many as had
been expected. A large majority were
actually farm women who gave up
their farm work for three days to rest
and visit, battle in the pool, sit in the
shade, rest in their tents and attend
lectures and demonstrations which
were scattered over the day in three
periods with several hours of rest in
tervening.

Power Company to
Help Poultrymen

Profusely illustrated and containing
articles from the pen of leading poul-
try experts in the state, many of
which have not hitherto been pub.
lished, the Puget Sound Power &
Light Company has just issued 40
page bulletin entitled "The Baby
Chick" for the help and guidance OF
all who may be interested in this
growing industry in the territory
which it serves. This booklet is be-
lieved to be the most complete trea-
tise on the care and raising of small
chickens that has yet been published.
The data which it contains was
compiled by Mr.. ]. G. Scott, agricul-
tural expert for the company, while
among those who cooperated with him
and contributed to the work were Mrs.
George R. Shoup, poultry expert of
the Western Washington Experiment
Station; j. S. Carver and l.. W. Cassel
of the division of poultry husbandry
Of the State College of Washington at
Pullman; ]. w. Kalkus, veterinarian
of the same college; and many others.
Diseases, rations, equipment, meth
DDS of handling, plans and specifica-
tons together with estimated costs
are all dealt with fully and completely.
1--WE have recognized for some time
the growing Importance of this indus
try" said Mr.. Scott in discussing the
new booklet, 'and if, by issuing an
authoritative and complete work on
the subject of the baby chicken, we
have been able to help those who are
interested in poultry raising, we will
have been amply repaid for our trou-
ble."
Copies of "The Baby Chick" may be
had free of charge at any office of the

Figures from the Bureau of Coal
Economics of the National Coal Asso-

bituminous coal in the United States
during the week ended March 20
reached a total of about 10,35O,0O0

The United States Bureau of Mines

the petition of Cordova Davila, resident
commissioner in Washington, asking
Congress to extend the Sheppard Town

plicable to the Hawaiian Islands but was
not extended to this island, although
Governor Towner himself endorsed it at
the time.
