THOUSANDSOF
CHICKS GOING
TO CHILDREN
San Benit- c. of c. Is
Creating Interest In
Poultry AS Big Crop
For Valley

SAN BENITO, March 6.-Poultry
Is being taken seriously as a possible
Nalley-wide industry, for the first
time. and mainly through the inter
est in IL which is being aroused
among the children.
This is shown in the pon to
the move which was launched by the
q Benito Chamber Of Commerce a
short time ago to place 100000 baby
chicks in the hands of children of
the San Benito community.
Inc move IS proving popular, and
the response satisfactory. Several
thousand Of the baby chicks have
been distributed among the children
ot the section, and more thousands
VIII be given out in a short time.
But the move which was started
mere IS no longer confined TO the San
benito section. Reports from prac-
tieally all other sections Of the Valley
indicate that the same method will
be followed in other sections, and
tnat within a year many hundreds Of
thousands of baby chicks will be in
the hands Of children of the Valley.
n many in the hands Of adults
throughout the section.
c. Of c. Plan
The poultry in San Be-
INTO ~ being carried out along a
schedule worked out by j. L. Bell,
secretary of the San Benito Chamber
OF Commerce, poultry raisers in the
section, Henry Alsmeyer, county agri-
cultural agent, and Miss Kate Adele
HILL, county home demonstration
agent.
The children who are interested
GET IN touch with the agricultural
agent, n then are required to sign
a note for the baby chicks. Each
child, boy or girl, is given 100 baby
chicks, at a reduced price. the chicks
pelng taken from the hatchery of
Roy T. Clark here.
The child signs a note for the cost
OF q chicks and the nCte is accepted
by the bank, through arrangement
made to handle the campaign.
10 IS expected that when the chicks
reach the fryer stage, enough OF the
c~ockerels can be sold to pay the
original cost of the 100 chicks, which
VIII leave the remainder of the flock
Is a clear profit, except for cost Of
feed The boys and girls also are
given = sack Of baby chick feed with
each 100 taken from the hatchery
here, to start the chicks on the road.
Poultry Aids Farmer
I'VE expect in this way to have
thousands Of first class chickens dis
tributed throughout the San Benito
section" Mr.. Bell said. Regardless
Of whether poultry ever develops
into an important enterprise as re-
CARDS shipping out eggs and birds.
it will be a benefit to the farmers
of the Valley in cutting down the
overhead. and the cost Of living.
Poultry specialists are all agreed
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-03-06

it Is arousing interest in other parts
Of the country. The poultry mar de-
clared that a farmer can make a gooo
profit on eggs if the price is only
twenty cents a dozen, or even fifteen
when shipped in large quantities.
"The main thing to remember IN the
growing of poultry for commercial
shipments Of eggs is TO keep down
the overhead, and keep the birds in a
healthy condition." he said.
"In this section you have sunshine
a large part Of the year, and il seems
70 me that you are ideally situated as
to growing feed stuffs for your
flocks. You should be able to produce
eggs at a much lower cost than they
are produced in ether parts of the
United States. where conditions are
less favorable"

of an attempt by tnc wife of George
Campbell Carson. inventor, who holds.
a judgment for several million dollars
against some of the largest smelter
companies in the United States, to have
her husband held as an insane person
was revealed in superior court records

The warrant accusing the inventor
of being an insane person was sworn
to by his wife, Mrs. Hersee M. Carson.
and filed with the county lunacy COM

that ne was eccentric, quarreled with
her and showered her with dishes in
fits Of temper.
Brought before Superior Judg e
Thomas G. Gould, Carson told the
court that his wife had provoked him
to an irritable state of mind on some
occasions, that she was insanely jeal-
GUS of him, and called him ''crazy"
because he had signed away certain
patents to enable him to carry on his
court Iitigations. She falsely accused
him of being attentive to other women,
he said
What makes you think your hus-
band is crazy?" Judge Gould asked
Mrs. Carson, who married the So ye
old miner and inventor soon after his
victory in his patent suit in the Unit
ed States circuit court Of appeals n
San Francisco,
She replied that her husband threw
q bottle Of butterrailk - lrrr and was
rcd headed; that he hid in a closet
and tore his clothes.

The National Geographic society an
nounced today that it had granted ad

carry on his studies Of tree rings as

Dr. Douglass research began after
the society's exploration at Pueblo
Bonito, N. M, where expeditions un-
der the direction of DR.. Neil M. Judd
uncovered and partly reconstructed a
remarkable early American apartment
house, which sheltered more than 1000
persons. From implements and uten-

its abandonment was estimated to be

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 25 tP,
"A $24,0OO,0OO advertising campaign
to MAKE home building as popular as
the buying of luSuries was proposed
here today by Frank T. James of Chi
cago, representing the National Re
tail Lumberlnen'S association.
Addressing the Western Retail Lunl-
bermen's association, Mr.. James de-
clared that plans of the national Or
ganization for raising money for The

advanced and probably would be put
under way next fall.
This is the third advertising cam
paign announced at this convention "

bermen, including $JNQ0,000 cam

facturers' association and a 100000

Mr. James address was made at the
closing session of the convention at
which Frank C. kendall, of Spokane,
was elected president and Butte, Mont,
chosen for the 1929 Other officers

were elected and in the evening IS

catenated Order of Hoo-Hoo.
The increasing sale of luXuries
through advertising has cut deeply
into funds available for building
homes, said Mr.. James, declaring that
this in addition to price-cutting COM
petition among lurnbermen themselves
was working havoc with many dealers.
Pointing out that there are $4,000
lumber dealers in the country, James
said that if these dealers would get
behind the advertising campaign as
actively as did laundrymen in Q receqt

Pine trees living in New Mexico

This gap almost has been bridged
by the largest work with timbers from

DR.. Douglass has designed and is
using a number of ingenious instru-

sCoTCH SINGERS WATCHED

Whether the singing of "Annie
Laurie" in the churches Of Glasgow,
Scotland, would lead to prosecution Of
the singers, was question raised at
recent meeting of the Glasgow
Presbytery, the senior ecclesiastical
court of that city. One of the officers
reported that the Performing Rights
Society, Ltd, was becoming very vigi-
liant and that if there were sung in a
church hall or church many songs that
long had been thought immune from
copyright restrictions, there might be
trouble. annie Laurie" was one Of
the songs mentioned. Rev. Stewart
Cameron said that the prosecutions Of
the society has caused sort of band
