GraveSide services were held :.
4 p. m, Monday, May u in the
Oakland cemetery at Austin
Mimi, with the Rev. Gordon
Beale of the Austin Congregation
al church officiating. Buriel was
in the Belden family plot in the
same cemetery in which both OF
the parents of the deceased were
laid to rest.
Word has been received from
Austin that many old friends
were present for the burial ser
vice. Relatives in attendance be-
sides the wife and two daughters
who accompanied the remains
from Sidney the daughter
in-law of the deceased, Mrs.
Charles Varco of Lacrosse, Wis;
two brothers, DR.. Roy Varco of
Minneapolis and Walter L. Varco
of Austin and his wife; a neph-
ew and his wife, DR.. and Mrs.
Richard Varco of st. Paul. Out
of town friends included Mr..
and Mrs. A. D. Hulings of Bay
port, Mimi, and DR.. and Mrs.
Glen Halver of Leroy, MINI.
Mr.. Varco's passing removes
from the scene another early day
leader whose enterprise and fore
sight contributed greatly to the
growth and development of Sid
ney in more than fifty years since
he came here in his early twen-
ties from Rose Creek, MINI, fol-
lowing the advice of Horace
Greeley to young lei of an
earlier generation to Ego west"
where opportunity was neon
fined. An article in this paper
last September on the golden an
niversary of the Yellowstone
Mercantile Company which he
founded told of that expedition
and his choosing Sidney, then a
sprawling prairie community, in
which to establish his future ca
reer.
Construction of the irrigation
canal from Intake had begun and
the future of Sidney looked good
TO Mr.. Varco, who Immediately
took steps in association with
DR.. ]. S. Beagle and the late
A. Vaux and c. w. Lacy to or
ganize the Yellowstone Mercan-
tile company" Looking back
half a century from this van
tage point, the important part
Mr.. Varco played in the progress
of this community in the inter
vening years is clearly in evil
dence and an indelible me-
mortal to his memory. His family
have the deep sympathy of this
entire community.

Up Winter Egg
Yield In 1867

A few management precautions
will help keep your hens from going
into a laying slump or molt this
winter.
This will likely keep egg produc-
ton up and profit higher, says
Silas McHenry, University of Della
ware extension poultry specialist.
He suggests having deep bed OF
finely-broken litter on the henhouse
floor. Plenty of ventilation make
for dry litter-even during wet
winter weather-and lessons chance
of the birds catching cold
A little scratch grain fed on the
litter, even though your hens are
on an all-mash feed program, means
litter in better condition.
Hens lay more. eggs when they
have about IA hours of daylight.
The poultry specialist recommends
using enough light bulbs to provide
one watt per hen. Keeping bulbs
and reflectors clean to give better
light is a good practice.
Your hens will eat more feed and
lay more eggs, if thev have plenty
of feeder space, McHenry says. A
good rule of thumb is to have OF
least four five-foot feeders per 100
hens, along with regular feeding
schedule. and give the hens sup
Elementary feed such as pellets
when needed.
McHenry recommends keeping 2
daily record of feed consumption $"
Won can tell if the birds are of
feed.
It's a good idea to provide one
small water trough or pan per 100
hons or one eieht-foot trouSh for
900 lave~s. McFEnrrv advises
