I Mrs. Lewis E. Winn. The famous “Rocky Mountain Canaries” all dressed up with fancy names and book I’amin’ are set to invade McCormick June 5, j at 8 P. M., for the maddest, mer riest, and nonsensical amusement | laded followers of outdoor sports have ever witnessed. The game is Burro Softball and it features the f amous Hank Webber’s Trained Burros. Leading the merry troupe will be Dynamite the Donk whose bag of tricks rivals anything ever seen inside a circus tent. With Dyna mite will be his many playmates. Dynamite, the leader of the herd, is always the center of at traction and attempts to handle him usually result in the most ludicrous sights of the game. Dynamite has his own ideas on how the game should be played and his ideas rarely concur with those of his befuddled rider. When the burros visit McCor mick High School Meld they will have a star-studded array of riders whose names will read like he “Who’s Who” of the town, and when the game is over they will be able to look forv/ard to the day when they hold their grand children on their knees and relate the tale of this strange game. Some of the prominent men participating are: Paul R. Brown, E. P. Bentley, P. T. Stott, C. H. Lomas, E. F. Gettys, Oscar Sturkey, Wilton Britt, M. A. Bouknight, George Dorn, Sid Ar rington, Bub McGrath, Marion Winn, Horace Creswell. Bill Brack nell, Wright Andrews, E. A. Mc Cormick, Lloyd Hendrix, Billie Smith, Bill Bruce, A. C. Bradshaw, L. L.

Card Of Thanks It still is not too late to plant some soybeans for table use this year. You are, missing a real taste treat and a food high in nutrition value if you pass up this oppor tunity. The usual field type of soybeans run high in food value but they are not so satisfactory for eating. They are hard to cook and the lavor is not so good. On the other hand the flavor of the edible va rieties is excellent. They taste very much like butter beans but have a nuttier, richer flavor. They are used the same as butter beads, either fresh or dried. In order to make it easier to shell the green soybeans, they should first be dropped into boil- ng w’ater for two or three minutes. They are then shelled and cooked as you wish. Salt and cutter make excellent seasonings and are all that is needed. The two varieties which seem to be most generally used in this section of the country are Rokuson and Easy Cook. You can find out from your Health Department or Farm or County Agent where the seed may be secured. Soybeans are high in many of the food elements commonly lack ing in our diets. They are de licious in flavor and are easy to raise. Every family with a garden would do well to plant some of the table varieties.

Extension Poultry Specialist. She says that the Colorado * Branch Pathological Laboratory, Bureau of Animal Industry, U.S.D.A., states, in a report published Aug ust 4, 1939, that many obscure losses of chicks can be accounted for on the basis of carbon monox ide poisoning believed due to the ack of proper ventilation in brooder houses. In a six-months period from Nov. 1938 to May 1939, of 436 chicks sent in to this lab oratory for diagnosis by poultry raisers, 48.6 per cent were positive or carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, oderless, non-irritating gas, de velops from incomplete combus tion of fuel due to insufficient fresh air. Such fuels as wood, coal, kerosene, fuel oil, gas, or coke, used in brooders will gene rate to a certain amount of this j gas, particularly in poorly venti lated houses. The symptoms of acute carbon monoxide poisoning in chicks, as given by this Colorado laboratory are: uneasiness, stupor, drowsi ness, labored breathing, and wob- culation of air without drafts bling gait.
