Arthur Martin Schrantz

Arthur Schrantz, who passed
away suddenly last week Thursday
morning, was born on November
8, 1887, in Lake Sarah Township,
Murray County, Minnesota. He was
48 years, I month and days old
at the time of his demise.
When three years old his parents
moved to Random Lake, Wiscon-
sin, where they resided for some
time and returned to Murray Coun-
ty, where they lived until 1880. At
that time Mr.. Schrantz went to
Hutchinson and engaged in the
hatchery business. He resided there
for two years, and in 1882 came to
Sauk Centre as manager of the
Buddale Hatchery. During the past
year he has been employed as
truck driver for Carpenter and

On January II, 1911, he was unit
ed in marriage to Anna Walsh and

Training Meeting
Largely Attended
Miss Cora Cooke, Poultry Special
list, Gave Interesting Talk on
Raising Good Pullets

Starting with the right kind of
chicks is half the job of raising
good pullets, Miss Cora Cooke, ex-
tension Poultry Specialist, told To-
cal leaders of the poultry projects
at the training meeting conducted
at st. Cloud, Richmond, Sauk Cen
tire, and Brooten on December 10
13. Fifty-seven leaders attended the
meetings, representing 448 men,
bers in 80 community groups. The
meeting was called by Home DEM
onstration Agent, Moan Anderson,
who commented on the poultry in
dustry in the county. The minor
project of three lessons on Farm
Yard Improvement to be organized
in February was discussed in which
nearly everyone of the 80 poultry
groups plan to enroll.
Miss Cooke stressed the follow
ing points: Healthy, vigorous
chicks come from healthy, vigorous
breeding stock; pullets that lay
we'll are the products of breeders
with good egg records; a breeding
pen containing the best old hens
and the necessary number of high
vitality males is a sure and prac-
tical means of improving the
flock; breeders must have the best
of feed and care in order to be in
prime condition for the breeding
season; cod liver oil is a necessary
part of the winter ration for
breeders in order to improve
hatchability."
It was made clear that the selec-
ton and care of Matching eggs and
the operation of the incubator
have a strong influence on the
number Of good chicks Matched,
but that having the breeding birds
in prime condition will leave little
to worry about in this regard.
Miss Cooke emphasized that
these points are of interest to flock
owners whether they hatch their
own chicks or not. Flock owners
should know the important factors
in producing good chicks so that
they may judge better the quality
of the chicks they buy, as well as
know how to follow good practices
in their own breeding flocks.
Chicks from flocks tested for white
diarrhea will live and grow when
chicks infected with the disease
are dying by the hundreds.
During the next two weeks the
leaders will hold lesson meetings in
their own communities which group
members are urged to attend. The
subject Of the next leader training
meetings will be Chick Rearing.
These meetings will be held jan
uary 28-31, 1886.

Electrification of Farms
To Be Explained

ing can be reduced substantially by
cooperative action resulting in q
contractor wiring a hundred or
more families under one contract
rather than bidding on each indiv-
idual farm. We all know that if a
man builds twenty houses on one
project, the cost of each one is less
than if only a single house were
built. Similar savings are possible
in wiring installations"
I'VE are very desirous," the Ad-
ministrator added, "of having wir-
ing loans used as effectively as
possible so that farmers get de-
pendable and serviceable wiring at
reasonable cost. This is very i'm
