At Poultry
Gatherings
Cora Cook, Of U. Farm, Led
Discussion On Pro-
duction
HELD FOUR SESSIONS
Feeds And Balanced Rations
Head List In County
Discussions

Last week series Of meetings
were held at Sank Centre, Eden
Valley, st. Cloud and Brooten COW
ering the subject of poultry produc-
ton with Cora Cooke, of University
Farm leading the discussion. More
than $50 people attended the four
meetings in the county.
At these meetings Miss Cooke re-
viewed the poultry situation and
mentioned that last summer she
predicted that eggs would be high
er and the price of poultry would
be low late in the fall and early in
1887. The reverse OF course happen
ed. Her reasoning in making the
prediction at that time was that
farm folks were not taking out the
usual number of baby chicks in
1887 because CT extremely high feed
prices. In setting the picture for
the discussion she mentioned that
q month ago the income from 6
dozen eggs would have purchased
100 pounds of feed and that a year
ago on dozen were necessary to
purchase the same 100 pounds of
feed. Feed prices last summer were
SO high that during one summer
month it required the income from
II dozen to purchase the same
amount. Comparing the price situa-
ton with the period of 1924-1930
which were considered fairly good
poultry years, mention was made
that during that period it required
on the average AZ dozen eggs to
purchase 100 pounds of feed.
Present trends in poultry pro-
duction, according to Miss Cooke,
show that there is an increase in
the use of the preparation OF eggs
in cans and keeping the same in a
frozen state for commercial uses.
Mention was also made that frozen
cut-up poultry is now also offered
for sale in cellophane packages
ready to prepare for serving. Ac-
cording to Miss Cooke this arrange
ment is to the advantage of the
poultry producer in that for poul-
try so offered for sale federal in
spection is necessary and this
guarantee of quality by federal in
spection tends to cause urban buy
ers to be more friendly toward
poultry purchases. According to
Miss Cooke greater advances have
been made in the handling of poul-
try products in the last five years
than in the previous Is.
Folks attending the meetings
were asked to- list the common
causes Of poultry losses on their
farms. Among these the people list
ed bad equipment, diseases, feeding
waste, wrong feed selection, ex-
pensive feed and lack of study
along the lines of breeding. In that
connection Miss Cooke brought out
the work eff the state poultry inn
provement board working with the
Minnesota Livestock Sanitary
Board. She listed the three grades
of chicks as offered for sale under
the supervision of this board. The
highest class offered is Minnesota
U. S. r. o. p, which provides for
record cf performance on the hens
showing 200 or higher egg produc-
ton per year mated with pedigreed
cockerels from dams that produced
at least 225 eggs. This, of course,
means that eggs to produce chicks
for the above grade are from trap

Charter Changes Will Be
Offered At General Election
Publication Of The Proposed
Amendments And Repeats
In This Herald

At the last meeting Of the Char
ter Commission, held Tuesday night
in the City Clerks office, it was de-
cided to present the proposed
amendments and repeats to the
City Charter to the electorate at
the general election Tuesday, April
5th. Publication of the proposed
amendments and repeats is made in
this weeks Herald.
The Commission has met each
week since appointment, and on
Tuesday evening completed its
work. Among the amendments will
be one which provides fer the cleo
ton of the Water, Light and Power
Commission members, instead of by
appointment by the District Judges
as in the past. This amendment in
cludes a proposal to increase the
Commission from three to five men.
Each week from now until cleo
ticn, special mention will be made
OF some phase Of the proposed
changes, and 1t Is advisable that
the voters of the city read the pub
lication OF amendments and repeats
in this weeks Herald, so that when
discussion Of the matter follows
they will be acquainted with each
section Offered.
In the election it will take three
fifths OF the vote cast to make the
adoption of the new amendments
and the repeats possible. Anyone
who goes to the polls and casts a
vote for officers in the general
election, yet fails to vote on the
proposed charter change, in reality
votes against 1t. In other words
failure to vote on the issue Is a vote
against acceptance Of the Offered
changes.
Watch the Herald each week for
an explanation Of the proposed
changes as they compare with cor
responding sections Of the present
charter. Owing to lack Of time
greater explanation Of the decisions
Of the Charter Commission are Inn
possible this week.
All members of the Charter Com
mission do not favor the election Of
members Of the Water, Light and
Power Commission, but they felt
the proposition should be present
ed to the voters In view Of the pc
tftion which was presented with
that request sometime ago.
