brought nearly 100 attendants, most

agents representing banks, insurance
companies and other organizations
with large land holdings acquired
through foreclosures and similar
means.
One of the many requests that have
been received for a short course in
land management came from p. L.
Gaddis, assistant chief reviewing ap-
praiser Of the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau of the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment. Mr.. Gaddis sent the names of
six Minnesota appraisers of the Fed
eral Lark Bank system, whom he de-
sired to have attend this short course.
Speakers will include staff members
of the agricultural economics division
at University Rarm, representatives
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, and men of scientific and prac-
tical experience from Minnesota and
neighboring states, who will deal with
important problems connected with

right number to provide, according to
Miss Cooke, who urges having a sep
arate pen for breeding poultry. Old
hens, mated to young males, will give
the best chicks that will lay the best
eggs when matured, she says.
In letter recently addressed to CO.
operators in the record farm focks
project, Miss Cooke says: IF you
have many cockerels from which to
select, put them in a pen by them
selves for observation and then pick
out the ones that show high vitality
in their alertness, their carriage,
their vigor and their thrifty appear
ance. Don't let any crow headed or
knocked-kneed birds get into the
breeding pen, and don't let the color
of the feathers or the number of
points on the comb place a low vital
ity bird in that pen. Good vitality,
good type, and freedom from defects
and disqualifcations, should always
be considered ahead of the more sup
CRITICAL characteristics.
"One type of low vitality bird to
look out for is the one that stays on
the roost all of the time, or keeps of
in the corner, afraid of the other
males. Such bird is usually dull OF
eye and lacking in vigor."

some $500 worth to the dining car de-
partment of the Northern Pacific rail
way. Besides paying Mr. Burud a
handsome price for his birds, the
dining car officials wrote him that his
turkeys were the finest lot they had
seen this year.
This was M. Burud's first expert
ence in raising turkeys. When a
special dairy poultry demonstration
train visited Big Falls in November
1929, he heard DR.. Billings lecture
and decided to try the plan. Besides
making good profit on the sale OF
his birds, Mr.. Burud won all of the
turkey prizes at the Littlefork fail
this fall.
In describing his methods to the
Northern Pacific, Mr.. Burud stated

The Minnesota turkey-raising plar
in brief involves, keeping the poults
confined in pens good distance away
from chickens and from other farm
buildings, feeding literally with &
balanced ration, and rotating the pens
often enough to provide clean groune
and plenty of green forage. Anyone
