Poultry Culling
Expert Is Here

T. Z. W. Newton, poultry expert of
the state university agricultural
extension service is here today con
ducting a poultry culling class for
local farm center poultry leaders.
The county men will go back to
their own farms there to repeat the
instructions given them by Newton
for the benefit of the other growers
Of their districts.
Newton quotes prices of eggs in
Texas as around Sc and l2c per
dozen. He further states that in
New York state, which is Califor-
MIA g surplus egg market, eggs will
sell for less this fall and winter.
In view of these facts, he says,
il behooves California producers to
Gull their floeks heavier than usual
this summer in order to increase
their own personal returns and to
help keep the industry steady by
limited production Of eggs.

Cooperation Asked
By Library Staff

Borrowers Of books at Ell Centre
Public library are again reminded
to specify to the Librarians when
ever they wish vacation privileges
as otherwise books will be charged
as usual and the borrowers may be
surprised at the mounting fines to
their credit. Ordinarily books are
taken for seven day or two week
periods but vacation rules allow GER
tain extensions Of time.
Library patrons are also asked to
bring their library cards with them
when they borrow books as it takes
a lot of time for the librarian to
look up borrowers numbers and
when borrowing is brisk the library
will not be able to accord this ser
vice.

ATHLETICS NEED
PLENTY OF help
FOR AGED STARS
Giants Have Developed
Two Good Men in Terry
and Tyson.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, April l4.--Onc or
two ball games, especially at the
start of the season, do not make or
break a championship team, nor
furnish enough information for
final Judgment on the championship
chapces of club.
1T does seem apparent, however,
that Ty Cobb and Eddie Collins
alone will not make an American
League pcnnant winner out of the
Philadelphia Athletics and hat Bill
Terry and Al Tyson may turn the
New lorl. Giants into National
League championship.
The ma joritv of the critics picked
the Athletics as favoritc in the
American League because of Cobb
and Collins.
But the opinion now seems to be
that the defensive value of the two
cid stars will not be up to standard
and that weakness in defense will
be more than made mp by the hit
ting and scoring ability of the base
ball stars of Cobb and Collins and
Zach Wheat.
The Athletics also seem to be
rome too strong at first base in
spite Of the complimentary things
that have been said about Branom.
a high priced minor Lacquer
Those who did not pick the
Giants to win the National League
pcnnant thought that an outficla
weakness and unreliable first base
play would keep McGraw $ team
out of the world series.
IT would seem, however, that the
outfield problem has been solved
by Al Tyson and that Bill Terry is
q good first bascman.
Tyson came up to The Giants as
Il highly toutcd outficldcr last year
but he was in poor health during
;hc season and made such a poor
showing that he was hardly con
sidcrcd when McGraw was recon
structing his outfield.
Terry has been with the club for
three years but he never had u
chance to work regularly as long
as George Kelly WAS holding down
| first base, and that discouraged
him. He always had been Il hitter
but his fielding WAS not perfect.
The confluence that regular
| job On prnnant contender arouse-
il a Young player has had an obvi
Gus effect upon Terry and it may
! make him the most valuable first
| bascman in the league.

CALEXIC0 CARD
WAS FAST ONE
ALL THE WAY

Six fast and furious rounds be-

man, veteran boxers, brought to II
close at the Legion arena in Cal.
exico last night, one of the best
cards ever seen in Imperial Valley.
1t was card that deserved much
better attendance than it received.
Goozeman was on the winning
end of the Judges decision when
the smoke of battle cleared away.
He won the fight by virtue of two
knockdowns, one in the second and
another in the third. Aside from
these two frames Mex practically
held his own with the veteran San
Diego flash. Goozcman punished
Mex severely in the clinch, dealing
him wicked body blows, which
while legal, caused the fans to
'razz' him. In turn Mex rocked
his opponent several times with long
hooks to the head, and did his share
