South. Texas farm families, with
4-H Club boys taking the lead in
many instances, are improving
their poultry flocks by culling out
low producers and by providing
better rations and housing condi-
tions.
An 11-year-old Frio County 4-H
Club boy, Myers Thornton, raised
and sold 198 out of a possible 200
baby cMcks and made a net profit
of $11.56 on his demonstration,
which ran from February 10 to
April 20. His expenses included
grain $6.80, growing mash $26.40,
chicks $15; and incidental expenses
$5.39, making a total cost of
$53.59, while the 198 fryers
brought him $65 15.
After 84 hens were culled from
the Sock of Walter Staton, San
Patricio County farmer, in Janu-
ary, the 183 hens which remained
averaged a return above feed cost
of $39.53 per month for a three-
month period.
In Galveston County 91 club
boys are specializing in capon pro-
duction, and will produce more
than 900 capons for market.
After Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Jana-
eek, whole farm and home demon-
strators of Karnes County, culled
123 hens from their flock of 273,
and fed a laying mash plus grain,
they found that their flock was
laying at an 80 per cent clip.
Another whole farm and home
demonstration, that of Mr. and
Mrs. Julius Demmer of the same
county, boasts of a flock which
will be well over the 200-egg aver-
age for the year. Close culling,
proper housing and a well balance
ration have resulted in the Dem-
mer flock producing eggs at the
ate of an average of 4.8 per hen
jer week.
Roy McFaddin and several
friends from McFaddin, came over
Saturday morning of last week
and went fishing. They made a
tremendous catch. Fishing in the

fine for the past two weeks.

4-H Club Reporters
Get Pointers at Meet
A really good club reporter
starts work before coming to the
meeting, it was pointed out by Miss
Mildred Baker, county home dem-
onstration agent of Victoria Coun-
ty, at a meeting of the Victoria
County 4-H Club girls in the home
demonstration agent’s office June
19. This meeting was held for the
purpose of organizing a reporters’
association for the home demon-
clubs of that county.
The good reporter is able to
write a better story if she'knows
what the program is to be before
she goes to the meeting. She will
also find that a notebook, pencils,
a piece of cardboard to which pa-
per is clipped, and a pencil is at-
tached, \yill help in making her re-
port.
At this meeting of the cdub girls,
a round-table discussion was held
on how to get better reporters’
| stories. Then plans were made for

grandparents when they started
housekeeping.
In order to make the bed more
comfortable, requirements for a
standard bed were met by the ad-

of feed sacks, pillow protectors,
