January proved to be one of the best months of county agent and ex- sion work in Newton county in the history of the Farm Bureau organization. This is to be expected as the organization is in good financial condition and is carrying out a better and larger program of work than has been mapped out in previous years.

The report to the central office for January shows that the agent spent twenty and a half days in field work. Twenty-six demonstrations were given during the month as follows: Dairying, Poultry, Horticulture, 12; Dress Form Making, 3. There was a total attendance at these demonsti'a- tions of 733 people. This does not include a number of local Farm Bureau clubs that held monthly meetings and a number of women's clubs that hold regular meetings every two weeks, which if included would increase the total attendance to more than a thousand meetings for-extension work in Newton cojinty in the The agent traveled 690 miles by auto and 107 miles by train. There were 142 business calls at the office and 262 letters written which does not include circulars.

Fifty-one farm visits were made during the month. Spe- the College of Agriculture spent eight days in the county, three days on organization and five on dairying. Poultry Project. Below will be found the monthly report for December of the demonstration flocks in Newton county. The results from these flocks are very interesting.

Practically all of these flock owners have picked breeding pens for this year and head them with certified or pedigreed cockerels. All of them after keeping records for a nf time see that there are many loop holes in the poultry industry which -are brought out thru record keeping. record keeping. These recdrds are tabulated from 36 flocks. One mixed flock is reported, however it is made up of pure breds of different breeds and all birds reported in one record.

First, that unles sa breeding pen is maintained and only eggs from the best birds used for hatching, flock improvement can not be brought about. Second, that unless chicks are hatched at the proper time so that the pullets are vigorous and mature enough to lay November first that no money can be made from the poultry flock. Third, that additional egg production can be secured through feeding i balanced rations made up of scratch feed and mash including protein feed. Fourth, that the flock must have a poultry house that has the essentials of light, floor space, and ventilation free from drafts. Fifth, that the flock must be rig- for vigor.

A large num- i her of cases of roup in flocks can be directly traced to birds that lack ma! turity and vigor. There are nine flocks in the county headed by pedigreed cockerels from hens that laid more than two hundred eggs under trap nest record. The flock owners using better than two hundred egg cockerels are: Lawton Lawson, F. W. Cram, Price Hines, White Leghorn; Mrs.

Hal! Conger, Henry Bowman, White Wyandotte; J. W. Banks, Brown Leghorn; Chas. Rowe, Buff Orpington; L. J.

Boehning and daughters, White Rock; J. W. Funk, Ancona. These breeders realize that there is only one way to increase the profit from the poultry flock and that is through using cockerels that they know something about. HOW THE VARIETIES RANKED FOR DECEMBER.
