KNOWLEDGE OF
POULTRY FEED
is ESSENTIAL

Poultrymen cannot expect hens
10 lay unless they know something
of feeds and feeding, say Professor
Walther F. Hoist and w. E. New
Ion OF the University of California
College of Agriculture. To give
them something of this informa-
ton, Bulletin AIT has just been
published by the University Press.
Poultry Feeding: Principles and
Practice" The bulletin may be
secured free from the college at
Berkeley or Davis. or free from any
farm advisor
Professor Hoist of the poultry
husbandry division is recognized
authority on poultry nutrition.
Newton, extension specialist in
poultry, has made q reputation i'll
California through his grasp of
poultry problems and the solutions
he has worked out for many of
them. The bulletin takes up poul-
try feeding in detail, giving all the
necessary information for the Cal

The production of eggs and

sumption. The fowls body is the
agent which effects this transfor-
nation. Under the highly special

production in California, the poul-
tryman cannot expect the greatest
efficiency from his birds without
a working knowledge of the princi-
piles of animal nutrition. Poultry

BOOKLET UPON
IRRIGATION is
AVAILABLE HERE

The College of Agriculture, Uni
versity of California has just issued
a new circular summarizing the re-
suits of experiments in the irrga-
ton and cultivation of deciduous
orchards. This circular, which has
been prepared by Professors F. J.
Veihmeyer and A. H. Hendrickson,
deals with the problems of culti-
vation in addition to those of
moisture control and is entitled,
Essentials of Irrigation and Gull
tivation of Orchards, Extension
Circular No. so. This circular is
available from the farm advisors
office, court house, El Centre
The circular discusses the prop
erty of soil with reference to its
water holding capacity, with refer
ence to the total amount of water
that soil can hold for the use Of
plant growth. the influence of a
water table on the moisture con-
tent, and the amount of water
which is readily available for plant
growth. Particularly important is
the discussion on the irrigation CT
orchards during the growing sea-
son. Experiments with mature
peach trees in the interior parts
of California show that the inter-
val between depletion of the read
lily available moisture in the upper
five feet in the summer varies from
three weeks in sandy soil to six
weeks in clay loan soil On loan
soils mature prune trees in the
Santa Clara Valley absorbed the
readily available moisture in from
four 10 six weeks during the hot
test part of the season. There has
always been great deal of dis
cussion on the proper time for ir-
rigation of orchards and this is
discussed in detail. The circular
also considers the influence of ir-
rigation on root distribution. OF
even greater interest to orchard
lists is the loss of moisture from
soil and the effect of cultivation
OH this factor A certain amount
Of cultivation is usually required
in orchards, but it seems clear that
this should be directed toward
some useful purpose Briefly, the
most important purpose of cultiva-
ton of orchard soil is to remove
weed competition. The purpose Of
irrigation is to provide readily
available moisture in the soil
throughout the year.

WINNERS OF BIG
 PRIZE WILL BE
 WELL PROTECTED
Buffalo People Will See That Their Money Is In= vested and Will Be Taken Care Of

Buffalo, N. Y.. March 2S.-(UP) Clayton c. Woods and his co-win- ners of $SS6,300 on the Grand Ma tional placer, Gregalach. have taken steps to assure themselves that their winnings win not be dissipated and will give them a steady income. With the first few hours of excite rnent and celebration over, Woods, once an employe of the local Fisher Body plant. settled down to some of the routine of one who controls a sizable sum of money.
 Trust funds will be esta blished, it became known to-day, for each of the five sharers in the ticket Woods, Mrs Woods, Kenneth Woods, and Elmer and Clarence Batts, brother and -in-law respec- lively of Clayton Woods. The trusts will be administered by Buff falo bank. which also will arrange for collection of the prize.
 None of the five had decided how they would go about enjoying their good fortune, but one thing was cer- tain-that Elmer Bait was going to ride on a train. He has never rid den one, he said, and wants to see how it feels. The five winners were expected to discuss plans for investing their money with bank of- ficials later, and then decide on how they would seek the pleasure all of them felt they deserved after years of work. The four men were all em- ployd at the Fisher Body plant here. Bank officials estimated that after all taxes. slightly more than $100,- 900 would be left for each of the ticket holders. giving them an ah- nual income of about $5.O0O.

Cattlemen on the plains feared many cattle were lost. No checkups could be made until the storm had abated.
 Scores of travellers were unac- counted for. It was believed they were marooned in farmhouses and in stalled automobiles along the highways where in some places snow was drifted to depth of IF feet. The temperature fell to two below zero at Denver. to zero in Oklahoma and western Kansas. and to eight below at Cheyenne, Wyo.

They Were All There, Tax payers and Everybody Else Who Could Crowd in and Many of Them Had Their Say About Things in General
THERE WERE SOME
 EXCITING MOMENTS

A lively town meeting at which oratory flowed for almost two hours adjourned until ths meeting at Hartford on April 7th to use the words of Mayor Frank Hayes who presided over the general taxpayers meeting at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. The mayor enumerated the proposed changes in the charter recommended by him and which will be proposed in the form of bill at Hartford.
 The largest taxpayers in the city voiced their sentiments on the mat ters. heard by crowd that damned the aldermanic chamber tighter than sardine can. Scores were forced to leave as there was no room for them to sit or stand to hear ths proceedings.
 After the mayor had described the changes to the aldermen and then to the taxpayers at the meeting which followed he called upon many repre- sentative men in the audience. Davis Starts
 A. l.. Davis immediately got upon his feet and commenced describing the city manager form of govern ment which said would be a splen- did thing for the city of Waterbury. He told of the merits of the commis- sion form of government system and when he had completed, Mayor Hayes asked him where he came from and that he couldn't under stand why he didn't stay there if his town was so fine and Waterbury so ill governed.
 Representative Daniel J. Mahaney favored the plan of the mayor and said that the. commission form of government as tried in New London was dismal failure.
 Judge Thoms Speaks
 Judge William F. Thoms said the city can govern itself. The mayor should have much more authority and power, as no mayor should be burdened with continuing boards and should have some power over the school board. Give the mayor more power, give him more author ity, and if you don't like him. kick him out the next election," he con cluded.
 John A. Coe of the American Brass company, when called upon to speak by the mayor, stated he hadn't had enough opportunity to examine the charter changes or the charter coni-

Mayor Frank Hoyes, opening the general taxpayers meeting at the City Hall yesterday, stated:
 Since I have been mayor, I have felt that it was necessary for the mayor to have more power in order that he might more properly act as the chief executive officer of the city. and the following changes are sug- gested by me with regard thereto:

 However, when the hearing was called yesterday nobody appeared to either sponsor or oppose the bill.
