Work and cooperation usually ac-
complish much. This fact is signi-
ficant regarding the beauty spot on
the lot at Mill and Bridge streets re-
Gently completed by the Redwood
Falls Better Flower and Garden Club.
Under the direction of Jos. Tyson,
the clubs president, the lot, always
an eyesore to the public, has been
converted from a mass of underbrush
and weeds to one of the beauty spots
of the city.
The ground has been planted to
flowers and grass. There are two
large Geranium beds besides beds
of Petunias, Moss Roses, Four
O'Clocks and Gladiolas.
A large Lily pond with plants in
blossom is an especially attractive
feature. The Lily pond is situated in
a rock garden in the center of the
park. Comfortable benches have
been placed throughout the spot.
The effort and work the members
of the club have put into this project
and the work accomplished is little
less than marvellous. The club de-
serves the commentator of every
Redwood Falls citizen.

HATCHERY CLOSES
SEASON WEDNESDAY
Redwood Hatchery Closes Sea-
son Last Wednesday After
Large Increase Over 1928

With the last hatch delivered just
a week ago, the Redwood Hatchery
closed down this week at the compile
ton of its third and most success
full season. Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Rote
Iproprietors of the local institution,
expressed themselves as highly pleas
led with the volume of business dur
ing the past year and said that they
could have sold more this year had
more chicks been available.
There was such a noticeable in
crease in business that the local hat
cherry installed a new mammoth in
Icubator, and even with the installa-
Ition of this machine there was a
shortage. People who last year made
purchases of approximately $50
chicks on the average came back this
year with 500 chick orders.
A total of 147,5S4 eggs went
Through the three mammoth incubat-
lors this year. The bulk of the season
between 5000 and 10000 chicks were
Matched each week, with the bulk of
the orders averaging about 500 chicks
each.
The hatchery's new quarters will be
started sometime in July, where the
installation of fourth mammoth in
cubator will be made. The present
building will be used for office and
display room.
Poultry is becoming increasingly
important as an item in the produce
of farms in this section, the proprie-
tors of the Redwood Hatchery declar-
ed. More and more farmers are go
ing into the raising of chickens as
a profitable sideline to their grain and
stock production. Flocks are of high
quality generally, and chickens are
being given more care and attention
all OF the time.
The Redwood Hatchery is located
on State Highway Number A in the
south part of Redwood Falls.
