Poultrymen Adopt Standard Terms Grades for Stocks By Carl Frischknecht, USAC Extension Poultryman In years past, breeders and poultry improvement associations in the several states have developed standards and used terms to sell hatchery products that represented certain requirements in one state and entirely different requirements in other states. In order to correct this condition and improve the quality of chicks in the entire United States funds were provided July 1, 1935, for putting a national improvement plan of poultry breeding into operation by the United States department of agriculture. The plan is a voluntary one and any breeder or hatcheryman in a state may or may not come under the plan. Wherever it is adopted an official state agency responsible to the government must be sent up to supervise the program, The plan sets up minimum specifications for five different stages or grades of breeding stock, hatching eggs, and baby chicks. Each of these grades has minimum requirements which must be met before one can advertise and sell that particular grade.

The lowest grade is U. 8. Approved. Other grades listed in accordance with increasing quality are: U. 8.

Verified, U. S. Certified, U. S. Record of Performance, and U.

S. Record of Merit. Among other requirements, U. S. Approved chicks must be hatched in a U.

S. Approved hatchery and from eggs from U. S. Approved flocks. The U.

S. Approved flocks are to be selected for constitutional vigor and egg production, by a selecting agent appointed by the official state agency. Each bird selected must be branded by a sealed and numbered legband. This selection and mating must be done at least 20 days before lany eggs for hatching are collected. There are also minimum requirements for egg size, shape and color; sanitary conditions in the incubator and around the poultry houses and in regard to the type and weight of the chicks.

Three degrees of Pullorum disease eradication have also been provided for in the plan. In the order of increasing destrability, these are to be known as "Pullorum "Pullorum and "Pullorum Many of the provisions of the plan have already been used with success in different parts of the United States and it is believed that its use will help greatly to increase the rate of production and put the poultry business in the entire country on a more desirable and profitable basis. An official state agency consisting of representatives from the Utah Hatchers and Breeders association, the state board of agriculture and the Utah State Agricultural college' has already been set up and Utah til December 1 to join the program. most of the silt now filling reservoirs, say soil conservation workers. Feature Picture At Cameo Mon.

and Tue. Starring Joan Crawford and directed by W. S. Van Dyke--this combination is enough to make any picture a success. In the case of "I Live My Life," the new Metro Goldwyn-Mayer production coming to the Cameo Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 1, 2 and 3rd the combination coupled with a powerful story, is made an outstanding production.

Different from any of the glamorous star's previous pictures, it casts her as a spoiled debutante whose love for a penniless archeologist redeems her. As the archeologist, Brian Aherne brings his finest performance to the screen, making the character a warm, charming and humorous digger of status Van Dyke's inspired direction is apparent in every scene of the new production. The swiftness, easy codramatic puuch which 1 he instills into his sequences are becoming a personal trademark. Joan Crawford has never appeared more glamorous nor been more beautifully photographed. Her delineation of the gay, careless, heart-free character is the work of a fine actress.

Equally stimulating is the supporting cast. Frank Morgan is up to his old humorous tricks as the bumbling, soft-hearted father. Aline Mo Mahon brings dignity to her role of a woman sadly in love. Mrs. Mattie Hoggard has just received a telegram from her daughter, Erma, who was recently married to Donald L.

The stores will also be dressed up for this occasion.

Hog Prices To Remain Good By J. A. McNaughton Los Angeles, November 25, 1935- While supplies of hogs for slaughter are expected to decrease between now and next April, the United States Department of Agriculture reports that the downward trend in hog production ended last spring and the results of increased production are expected to be reflected in larger market supplies of hogs in the summer and fall of 1936. The Agricultural Department goes so far as to perdict a higher level of hog prices than in 1934-35, but does not expect prices to reach the peak prices of the recent late summer market. However, there is no prospect of burdensome supplies in sight for a long time to come, due to two factors.

First, it would hardly be possible under any circumstances for the country to produce a surplus number of hogs within less than two or three years; and second, there will be continued control of production as a result of the favorable nature of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration national vote by corn -hog farmers. Junior High Opera Set For Tuesday "Cinderella and The an opera with some fifty people in the cast, is being presented by students of the Junior high school next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, December 3, 4 and 5.

The part of Cinderella is being played by two girls, Elma Singleton and Ruth Chadwick; Cat, Kathryn Bird; first kitten, Grace Cheeney Clark; second kitten, Leatrice Wagstaff; first sister, Lucille Walker; second sister, Louise Hayward; mother, Beth Cheever; fairy Godmother, Beth Green; king, Harry Butte; queen, Vilate prince, Edith Wright; first jester, Alva Goodall; second jester, Dean Bateman; Aladin, two boys David Clarke and Jack Walters.

The chorus will be made up of Lords, Ladies, Ferries, Mice and those other characters that appear in the beautifully woven story we are all somewhat familiar with. The opera will be accompanied by the Junior and Senior high school orchestra, The orchestra members those of the opera have spent a lot of time working on this production in connection with their regular school work and feel they now have something well worth your time to come out and take a trip with them into the land of fairy dreams. The presentation Tuesday will be for the grade school children, nesday for the Junior and Senior high school and on Thursday for the general public. Fourth Ward M. I.

Mr. Harris is visiting the Lions clubs in the interests of membership in the organization. He feels that the local club has an unusually large membership according to the size of the town.

There were 20 Lion members present.

Announcement out of the Provo office Monday Project work totaling more than $2,000,000 in value has been approved in district three of the Works Progress Administration in Utah, according to Ben H. Beveridge, director.

Evidence that the money on the projects is going to the people for whom it was intended is shown in the fact that in the district only 2.3 per cent of the workers on the projects are non-relief, although a maximum of 10 per cent is allowed. The district includes 19 counties in southern Utah, Some of the projects, such as the school lunch work, covers the entire district.

They displayed carnations, sweet peas, mums and pom poms, The local company display showed up very well along with the others and brought further advertising to this city and these progressive florists. They had the only sweet pea display that really amounted to anything at all in the show and their other flowers were far above the average. Local H. S.
