PAGE TWO ‘ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1922 GREAT RECORDS ESTABLISHED BY 900 PULLETS The Contestants Have Laid 139,477 Eggs in Past Year Farmingdale, N. D., Feb. 17,—(By The Associated Press)—The exclusive young flapper section at the State In- stitute of Applied Agriculture was all aflutter with excitement Wednesday. There was much artful cocking of heads and preening of fine feathers. For in some way the news had gotten about that before nightfall all the good flappers, just budding into hen- hood, were to get beautiful young husbands, with delightful back- grounds of wealth -»d social position. The fact, savoring of Asia, that the tbrides-tovbe had never seen their fu- ture husbands didn’t seem to bother the flappers. Nor did the fact that each was to share her husband with 19 others. Monogamy still is unknown in the world of White Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks. Today's weddings mark the second stage of a three-year egg-laying and poultry breeding contest being con- ducted by B. A. Ahrens, head of the institute’s poultry department, During the last year 900 pullets from all parts of the East, have been devot- ing their energies solely to egg lay- ing, and have established enviable records for themselves. The contest- ants entered by poultry raisers for the experiment-contest, laid 139,477 eggs in the year, or an average of 152.11 per pullet, Lays 252 Eggs A single comb. White Leghorn own- ed by F. J. Loveland, of New York, carried off first prize with 252 eggs. Mr. Loveland’s white Leghorn pen al- so carried off the pen prize with a total of 3,739 eggs. There were 107 pullets out of the 900 entered, that produced 200 or more eggs. The second, or breeding phase of the contest, will continue through March, April and May, each bride be- ing allotted a setting of 10 eggs. The hens will not be permitted to hatch their own families, however, this de- tail being attended to in incubators. Next fall, 20 pullets from each pen— one from each hen’s brood as far as possible—will be selected and placed in the pens their parents occupied. Tests as to their skill a$ layers and parents, conducted during the follow- ing season, will conclude the contest. The objects of the contest, which is supported by a $15,000 appropriation of the legislature and by fees from entrants, are: To encourage selection of stock and |. a closer study of the physical char- acteristics which determine a bird’s producing and breeding ability. To furnish each poultry raiser with an accurate record of eggs produced and the breeding ability of each hen entered. To return.{o the farm at the end of each year some registered birds with their records of performance which 6,000,000 HORSE-POWER TO BE USED HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS * 7+ ASHLEY CREEK + MYTON + PSTPONweop + SPRUCE CREEK + SUMMIT COUNTY + YULE RIVER, 10" CRYSTAL RIVER “OSGOOD 72° TRIFLE 13+ HINSDALE 74: HIDDEN TREASURE. 15 OURAY 16: AMES 17> \ulum + TACOMA 19 - ST.GEORGE, 20° WHITE RIVER. 21 ROOSEVELT 2 22° SOUTH CONSOLIDATED 23 - CROSSCUT. 24.

MONEYS LEVIED FOR TAXES IN 1906, ARE PAID North Dakota’s State Treasurer is receiving moneys for taxes levied six- teen or more years ago and this fact keeps alive on'the books of the Treas- urer and the State. Auditor some twenty-five. funds that are not now a part of tax collections. Collections on taxes levied as far back as 1906 are very small, realizing sometimes five cents for the general fund, a cent for some of the other funds and a fractional part of a cent for some of the smaller funds. In the class of funds for which small amounts are still being received ag taxes levied for certain years are collected are all of the old mileage taxes levied, for che benefit of the] state schools. This plan of raising; mney was abandoned: Mm -° 1916, but tax moneys of a dollar or s0 a month are being received as some county treasurer receives belated taxes or finds some bit of personal property which escaped taxation in the previous years and secures pay- ment of the amounts due the state.

Each of the states affected—Arizona, California, Colo- rado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming—has a representative. As an example of these conflicting interests, California—which contrib- utes least to the river itself—stands to benefit more largely by its devel- opment than any of the other states. Colorado and Utah, which supply about three-fourths of the water flow, are inclined to press their prior rights 2 the water for diversion for irriga- ion, ‘ Before progress can ‘be made“a peace pact must be reached. between these states, providing for tho division of the water supply. Such a compact would be subject to ratification by congress and the various state legis- Jatures. : First Development First on the list of likely power sites to be developed is that at Boul- der Canyon. Here the waters of the’ Colorado are compressed between towering rock walls only a few hun- dred feet apart. A. dam 600 feet in height would provide water power to generate 600,000 horsepower of hydro- electric energy. ‘Such a dam and plant would cost about $40,000,000.

The Southern California Edison Company, in planning distribution of |}! power, in event its application for,one of the major power sites is granted, has planned to carry power as far as San Francisco, 500 miles distant.

Dams for these purposes must be built far- ther upstream and on the more im- portant tributaries, All these conflicting. factors make necessary a general comprehensive and ao-related development. With this program definitely es- tablished, the big question remaining to be decided following the Phoenix conference—if it™is successful in set- tling the conflicting claims of the states—will be the extent to which the development is to be done by public agencies. It is believed Sec- retary Hoover will recommend the de-| velopment of the “key” sites by the government direct. States and muni- cipalitiés may be given preference in developing others. To the extent that private capital is granted development rights, it wilt be required to co-ordinate its plants to fit harmoniously into the general scheme, J Given the reservoir of power pos- sible by the, Colorado River’s harness- ing, and the increased fertility that would qome with 5,000,000 additional acres of irrigated lands, the south- west would have to look to the “indus- trial” east or the’agricultural middle- west for few of the things it desires to make life worth living. park board haa abandoned ‘a project for a swimming pool believing the damming of thé"'Heart river would fill any such redufrements, but had con- | sidered construction of a wading: pool | for the youngsters’ at the site of the Collins avenue city flowér gardens. iH.
