Most anyone can be an editor, says

"Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek jet a
can opener slip last week and cut
herself in the pantry."
"A miscbevous lad of Plketown
threw a s'one and hit Mrs. Pike in
the alley last week.
"John Doe climbed on the roof of

"While Harold Green was escort-

(May 28 to June 3.)
The above dates have been set for
"Swat the Rooster" week. During
this week the produce men of Man
gum have promised me they would
pey higher prices on roosters, in or
der to induce people to sell off all
extra stock they have on hands.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has figured that fertile eggs
cost the farmers of the United States
$15,000,000 a year, all of which could
be saved by selling or confining the
rooster after the hatching season is
over. Heat is the great enemy of
eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farm-
ers are urged to follow these simple
rules which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns:
1. Keep the nests clean, provide
one for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs daily.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool dry room
or cellar.
4. Market the eggs twice a wet'k
if possible.
Sell, kill or confine all male birds
as soon as the hatching season is
over.
Someone has said it isn't what
don't know that hurts us, but what
we don't do.
