Deer Reported in Union Community Residents of the community east and southeast of Union have in the past few days reported seeing a great many young deer wandering around the hills and farms in that locality. Some re port seeing some fifteen in a group while others have claimed as many as forty at one time roving through the hills to the east of the town. There has been in recent years, quite a few of the deer found in this locality although not .in large numbers, and on one of the Missouri river islands there has been quite a group raised and these occasionally in the summer swim to the mainland to rove up and down the river farms. With the very deep snow in the west and ncrth it is thought that many of the deer that roam in that section have been mi grating south and east toward the Missouri river in search of food and shelter among the hills along the river.

Conducted by the National Chicken-of-Tomorrow committee under the auspices of the Atlantic and Pacific food stores, the industry-wide com petition gave poultry raisers from coast to coast an opportunity to vie for a $5,000 grand championship prize plus $3,000 in regional progress awards. Dressed poultry contests were conducted among states, the five top-ranking entrants in each of the state contests being eligible to compete in (heir respective regional trials, with the grand national championships held last spring in Delaware. In the finals, eggs sent in by the 40 top breeders of the nation were hatched under identical conditions under the supervision of a commit tee of poultry experts headed up by H. L. Shrader, senior extension poul try husbandman of the United States department of agriculture. In addition to the top cash award of $5,000, there were runner-up prizes totaling $2,000. The Chicken-of -Tomorrow, in troduced to the world for the first time at the poultry breeders' dinner-meeting in New York, boasts a higher percentage of meat to bone structure, with added layers of white meat on the wings as well as meatier drumsticks.
