NEWS NOTES FROM
COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

The farm tour held on the Pow
ell project last week was well at
tended by the Cody farmers. The
comment from these farmers has
been favorable and it is hoped that
such a tour may be tried here next
lear. Plans are on foot for an
inter-county tour, starting either at
Powell or Lowell, and visiting a
number of farms where definite les
sons may be learned regarding new
methods and practices. This is
being planned for 1927.
The seed pea harvest is about
over and the crop disposed of at
the contract prices. The yields
varied from almost nothing to 35
and 40 bushels per acre, giving the
farmer a nice return for his labor
in the latter case. In most cases
this was the first experience in
growing peas for seed, and un-
doubtedly the experience gained will
be a valuable asset to farmers in
this section.
The plans and specifications for
constructing the shed type poultry
house are all loaned out now. We
have foul copies. If anyone else
wishes to borrow these, they can
leave their name at this office and
as the plans are returned they will
be released in order applied for.
This is the cheapest construction
per hen that we have found and it
is very satisfactory in every way.
In figuring the size of a house
necessary you should take floor
space into consideration first. A
poultry house should have at least
8 to A square feet per hen, plenty
of ventilation, and easily cleaned.
At the Sage Creek Farm Bureau
meeting last week a committee OF
three, namely, E. E. Newton, L. w.
Pearson and VIM. English, were
appointed to help rrang the pro-
gram for Dean Hill and Mr.. Rob-
ertson, September 23rd and oath.
These men are working with the
county agent, and plans and pro-
gram will be announced next week.
The Irma Flat Pig Club and
Marquette Lamb Club are planning
an exhibit for the county fair. Each
club will be in attendance at least
