With this letter, sales tax op

republican membership of the ways

Tuesday to consider the suhcom

at least up to that time. ,
Chairman Fordney declined to
say whether he would consult with
President Harding before the com

impression gained today at the capi

advised of yesterday's action by the

THAYER COUNTY.
Hebron The 4,722 hens In the 31 sc.
credited poultry flocks in Thayer county
produced S3, 029 eggs during January at
a feed cost of 268.7?, and returned
slightly more than 13 cents to the hen,
L. C. Christie, county extension agent, an
nounces. The eggs averaged seven per hen
at a net return of J651.8S. The flock av
erage for the month was slightly under
the record for December, and a little more
than the average for last Novemher. Ths
10 leading flocks, containing 1.474 hens,
produced 10.742 egta or an average ot
11 eggs per hen, Mr. Christie reports.
The male birds make or break the
poultry flock, states Mr. Christie, and it
ia Important that particular attention be
given in their selection. Many farms have
fine flocks of females showing good ca
pacity for egff production with standard
retirements, he says, yet on passing
judgment on the male birds tn many in
stances, all that can be said for them
Is "that they are roosters." It will pay
every poultry keeper to get pure bred
poultry and then use the same effort to
improve them by the use of sires from
high producing stock, Christie declares.
SEWARD COUNTY.
Seward The resignation of H. P. Rig
don has left Seward county without an
agricultural agent, until the board can
obtain a new one. In the meantime, .T. L.
Thomas, a former agent and now a Lan-r-aster
county farmer, is acting for Mr.
Rlgdon. Poultry in a live topic at this
season of the year, Mr. Thomas states, as
well as i being a good time to prune the
fruit trees and vines.
Hatch early Is always good advice, ac
cording to Mr. Thomas, because its in
fluence lasts as long as the bird lives.
Early hatching means that the bird will
be fully matured and teady for egg pro
duction before stunted by the cold of late
fall and early winter. Birds should begin
to lay by the time they are seven or eight
months old. and the lighter breed a little
earlier.
WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Blair, Neb. Drees form work is becom
ing as popular as any new style ever be
came among the women of Washington
county. In addition It has the hesrty
support of the men something which very
few new styles can boast about.
Mr. Hartung of Fontenelle declared
flatly that It was one of the finest things
that waa ever atarted for the women. He
estimated the probable saving at $10 per
dress. The men teem to be all interested
in the work, for. although they may not
know much about forms or dresses, they
feel that they know a few things about
the bills.
Mrs. P. C. Petersen. Blair, and Mrs.
Smith of Kennard, gave a good demonstra
tion at the home of Mrs. C J. Hlndley.
There were 20 women present and four
forms were made, each woman going home
perfectly capable of thowing othert how
to 'do the work.

For eastern Nebraska conditions, the
early Ohio variety of potatoes seem, in
past years, to have given the best re
turns. Potatoes grown locally under clean
cultivation are not suitable for seed, espe
cially if they were produced during a
hot. dry season. It has been demonstrat
ed time and again that this type of
seed will yield one-third less than where
frood northern or western seed is plant
ed. Conditions In the Red River valley
and in the western Nebraska sandhills
country are much more favorable for the
proper development of potatoes that have
the vigor and vitality to produce good
yields. Then if the patch is mulched with
traw this year, the potatoes grown can
be used next year for seed. Under the
traw, the temperature i.i cool and the
potatoes retain their natural vitality.
Eastern Nebraska s-asons are usually
unfavorable for good yields of high qual
ity potatoes. The high temperature and
dry weather that visit us in June. July
and August cuts the yteldvand makes the
potatoes unfit for seed taf the following
year. Those who have grown potatoes
under straw mulch find that, they got
good yields even In extremely dry years.
