CHOOSE COCKERELS
EARLY FOR FUTURE
Base Selection on the Body,
Size and Maturity.

BY F. P. Jeffrey, Instructor in Poultry
Agrleyyitu rev WHEY se GSege OF
1t is not too early to begin to Sc
lect cockerels for next years breed
ing pens. A common error among
poultrymen is to sell the largest
and quickest maturing cockerels on
the broiler market and keep the
later maturing birds for breeders.
Such practice may mean few
extra dollars now, but in reality it
is a very short-sighted policy.
Poultrymen who do not pedigree
should keep a large number of the
early Matched cockerels. Remem-
Der it is essential to retain a rela-
lively large number to insure a
good selection later in the year. Sc
lection should be based on large
body size and early sexual maturity.
The poultryman who practices
pedigree breeding should retain
three or four of the best cockerels
from each female breeder. It will
be impossible to determine the best
families until the sisters of these
prospective breeders have been lay
ing at least three months. For those
who want to reduce the number of
cockerels to be held over the sum-
mer, the only sensible basis of Gull
ing at this date would be hatchabil-
ity of the dam and INABILITY to date
of brothers and sisters.

Duck eggs can be used in any

The spray residue tolerance on
fruit has been announced for 1897
as .018 grains per pound of fruit.
Hens that fail to respond to good
feeding and management during the
summer should be disposed of
promptly.
The average hen egg is 1874 per
cent protein and 1915 per cent fat.
Chicks that are confined are more
likely to develop than those that
run outdoors early in life.
Golden Cross Bantam may now

Roads Bureau Reports
on WAYS to Kill Weeds

A recent report by the bureau of
public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture de-
scribes methods used by state high
way departments in eradicating
weeds along roadsides.
Machine moving, most generally
used, often must be supplemented
by hand cutting or by use of chem
icals to kill weeds not reached by
the mower. Highways of modern
design, with slopes that can be
reached easily by mowers and side
bitches that can be moved over,
make machine moving more effec-
tive.
Burning is used mostly to dis
pose of cut or killed weeds. Vari-
GUS chemicals are particularly
adaptable for use along guardrails,
around culvert headwalls, and in
other places not readily accessible
for cutting.
Improvements undoubtedly will
be made in present methods of weed
control and new methods will be dis
covered, say highway engineers, but
effective control is possible with the
methods now used. Regardless of
methods used, they say it is i'm
portant that eradication be thor
ough, for small patches of undam-
aged weeds may reseed large areas
and offset work done.
Besides being unsightly, roadside
weeds may hide highway warning
signs, shorten vision, and hinder
drainage. Control of roadside weeds
directly benefits farmers. Seeds
from uncontrolled roadside weeds
are carried to adjacent fields by
wind, water and birds. Passing au-
tomobiles carry seed to distant
points to infest new areas.
The bureau of public roads re-
CARDS weed destruction as part of
a permanent roadside-improvement
program.

bills to pay right now," said City
Clerk Durazo. Later it was announc-
ed the city owed $1O,315.OO.
Commissioner O'Neil declared it
is wrong for one administration to
carry unpaid bills over to another
and asked what would happen if
the incoming administration takes
the position that they're not respon-
sible for old bills. eff the budget
amounts have been exceeded it looks
Ike creditors will hold the bag"
IF we can pay some Of our bills
we can get payment of license fees
on a swap" said Alderman Wayte.
Bowman Protests
Then, Writ G.. Bowman, heavy
taxpayer, asked about the amount
of the city's outstanding indebted
ness, the reason for the excess bills,
and how much has been paid the
Chamber of Commerce. The cham
Der during Bettwy's regime has ac-
tually been paid $275. twenty-five
hundred was budgeted for the fund
from which the chamber was to
have been paid.
OF the fund budgeted for the
chamber, $510.31 was used to pay
expenses of a trip that Mayor Bett-
May made to Washington, D. c. be-
fore he became mayor. The trip was
made in the spring of 1895 between
the time Bettwy was elected and
the time he took office on June /,
1885.
II want to protest against any
payment ever made by the city for
Bettwy's trip to Washington that
time. This council had no right to
pay it, said Bowman.
Then he said the Bettwy regime
had received revenue from sale of
city property at the old army camp,
revenue that the city never had be-
fore. ''Yet you've exceeded the budg-
et."
Asked by Bowman if the city had
any unpaid demands from city
newspapers, City Clerk Durazo re-
piled Eyes, in the amount of $139'
That amount is owing The Nogales
Herald, the citys official paper
throughout the Bettwy regime.
It was admitted to the tax COM
mission during the hearing that the
city had $4,000 in the treasury and
a months receipts coming when
Bettwy regile took office June /
1885.

sion chairman said, adding that
"your city charter provides no bills
shall be paid without cash on hand
to pay them"
Fuel Oil
City Attorney Gordon Farley de-
clared the amount budgeted for fuel
oil was inadequate, $4,000 having
been budgeted and the city asking
for an additional $1438-a total of
$1937 more than was spent for fuel
oil the preceding year.
Asked to explain the reason for
the increase Street Superintendent
D. Higginbotham said he couldn't
explain it. A city official said the
past winter was colder than usual.
The increase in insurance and
bonds was due to an error, City At
torney Farley said.
Labor and clerical increased cost
was due to overexpenditure in vari-
Gus departments, and materials and
supplies item was in need of $1110.-

When Alderman H. C. Wayte be-
gan telling the tax commission that
the city had to buy a new police
car and truck the past year Chair
man O'Neil interrupted him and
said: Were interested only in the
amount in excess of the budget that

H. McNulty of the Citizens Utilities

Chief of Police George Parker
blamed former Chief OF Police Mark
Tully for exceeding the amount
budgeted for police department sup
plies. Bills have been accumulating
in that department over a period of
six or seven months. 81 thought it
would be exceeded on account of
stationery and various other items"
City Clerk Alex Durazo said.
Again, Chairman O'neil said
that when an emergency first arises
is the time to ask for special levy.
"You started exceeding your budget
two or three months after you fix
ed the budget" he said, and added;
