ter sire contest. This contest is

Ostriches Exhibited Poultry Day
Ten ostrich eggs are in the in
cubators at the Agricultural College
getting ready to be one attraction at
poultry field day scheduled Thurs
day. June 11th. The eggs were set
so they will hatch a few days before
the annual poultry day so that visi
tors can see the ostriches. Ten ban
tam eggs will be placed in incubators
alongside the ostrich eggs in due
time so they will hatch the same day.
It takes six weeks to hatch ostrich
eggs while batam eggs will hatch
in three weeks. The ostrich eggs
came from a farm in Caiirornla along
with complete directions on how to
incubate the eggs and take care of
baby ostriches. Two of the dozen
eggs were cracked intransit, even
though the shell is as thick as fine
chinaware.

4-H Sheep and Corn Clubs.
The first 4-H Sheep Club in the

club of six members. The members

Sheep Club at the State Fair allows
the club members to show one ewe
over a year old, one under a year
old, and two fat wethers. Chas. Gard
ner, secretary of Ak-Sar-Ben says

been organized fith 12 members.
