At tlio special meeting' of the
Co-op members held. God. larch C,
Crop and agricultural problems
v.ere discussed at length, aoland
Snodgrass, pointed out the fact
that there would be many addition
al acres planted this season and
urged, that as far ns.pos ible
we should increase our orders in 2
pod'-hud vetch *~ed. in view of
the fact that t would be possible
to secure local seed, less outside
seed had been ordered this year.
It v:as also pointed out that
the greatest problem In the
valley, was the nec 1 of acre pro
duce to se1!, also, closer grad
ing of iiihl .produce placed on the
market, as the exhibit on dis
play clearly proved to those
present. Thin unfattened. chicken?
fertile eg^ s, sunburned potatoes,
stale cream, ?ingrsd.ed vegetables,
and inferior quality must be com
ply.holy abolished from produce .
placed on the market. This r.ry
result in re**ur ! ng to buy pro
duce from sore fa mere. The
Co-op marketing association can
not afford to ruin the sole and
reputation of "Matanuaku h id"
by accenting any inferior quality
from afev/ cariess producers,
thus, damn pi up those oaimostly
attempting to meet outside com
pete tion.
Those not informed nay receive
instruction upon rtquest. There
is no excuse i'er bringing poor
produce to market, because-it CAN
BT RAIdTD here. Therefore, be
prepared when you bring poor
produce to market—don't say ve
"didn't toll you.

PRT.FAKA'ilOlI FOR CRICKS
>- i /r ip o A ”»V
From all authority and reliable
information on the raisin0 of
poultry we discover this: that
one sure way to insure healthy
lock.3 of chickens is to take
irst class care of the bray chicks
from the time of hatching until
the tine of production.
The time of preparing for chick
brooding is at hand* and prepara
tion must be made in advance for
the arrival of the chicks.
Cleaning, disinfecting, fr :sh
litter on the floor, chick hoppers
and watcrers in place and ready
to be placed around the hovers,
and the brooder running at proper
temper attire when the chicks
arrive, are all p rts of the pre
paration for theme
The chief factors for ouccesp in
■brooding, in addition to having
a comfortable house, arc tempera
turc anri feed. Although the
vt6cther ir colder ;.bon errly
brooding, is being dene, it Is not
necessary to keep the brooder at
any hi, her temperature than it is
k pt in normal season brooding#
f.a .. m; tter of fact, the tendency
in recent years has been to keep
tern enatures lower in the brooder
room than formerly. Just so the
temperature is satisfactory under
the hover, the room temperature
need not bo any higher when brood
ing is done in March, April or May,
A temperature of about 95 degrees
is recommended as sufficient for
starting the chicks. This tempero
ture may be lowered 5 degrees a
week until 8C or 85 degrees ftro
