SMALL FRUITS The large attendance at the meeting of grower8 last Thursday indicates that the interest in horticultural diver sification is even greater than had been anticipated. We hear many or chardista talking of preparations for small fruits. It may he well, however to warn against such an enthusiasm that may lead to an indiscriminate planting of berries. The new tracts should be planted with fruits of a proven commercial value. The devel opment of 57 different varieties will not aid any in the sales of the product. Now is the time tor cooperation in the selection of the kinds and varieties of small fruits to be raised. Irvin S.Cobb, in his recent Satur day Evening Pest article, on "You betcherland," hasn't invented anything new. Hi- knows it better than any of the rest of us. Mr. Cobb has simply given the old expession another twist. If Mr. Cobb will recall, "Youbetcher boots" was used by many, by most of the male citizens in the course of con versation down in Kentucky riot bo manv vears ago. Out west, even in the broad expanses of ' Youbetcher land," people havn't. leisure to add thi boots. We are willing to wager that Mr. Cobb, while on his jaunts in tral Oregon, dropping hack uncon sciously to the lingo of his younger davs, said. 'Youbetcher boots," more than once. TILLICUM PAYS RESPECT TO SNOREK Long Beach Editor Glacier ious letter, we board our sleeper Calif., Dec. 26, 1900. As stated in my pre were privileged to hi rortiunii ai:.ju R. A. Booth, chairman of the Statt High way Commission, has commis sioned A. Phimister 1'roctor, notei sculptor, who will execute a statue of the circuit rider, who in pioneer days carried the message of the gospel over the northwest. Mr. Booth has been actuated.by a desire to honor the mem orv oi his lather, one ol Oregon h early Methodist circuit riders and min isters. Here in Hood River we have a man who will be honored by the pro posed monument. We mean Rev. U. W. Kennedy, who has ridden the cir cuit over most of eastern Oregon anil Washington. No practice is more dangerous among motorists than that of failure to dim lights on meeting fellow pas sengers. We have heard of some nar row escapes from serious accidents lately, drivers having been blinded by glaring headlights. The motorist, win wilfully drives along on high, refusing to dim his lights when he meets an other cai, should lose his license to drive. We tl. ought Henri Thiele was seek ing some unique and distinctive name for hisjiew resort hostelry. The name cnosen, Columbia uorgu hotel, is it i very good one, but it dies seem that he might have done better in this (lis trict, wiiere there are so'inany euphon ious and unique Indian names, remind ful of legends and lore interesting to local folk and visitors alike. p. ir. Uur train, No. do, was to depart at 1 a. m. The porter greeted us with a welcome smile, and showed us our compartments, where we were soon decorating the fish net with haberdash ery, and things, after which we dumped our freight for the Bight or hit the hay, to be more explicit. The car, not being in motion, seemed unusually still, save a few soft thuttering purrs like someone running the gamut on a picket fence with their finger, were already entering the borders of dream land. Our sleeper did not seem to be haunted by any of those old profes sional snore hounds that specialize in their nefarious iniquity, you know what I mean, those oid overstuffed, bubble bellied, jingle snouted, wheez ers, that make life unbearable for others, and night hilarious with their blamed old flabgastid, double barreled, choke bored, splutter buss, that a providential Providence provided them with to be used as an ornament to their face, a nose, to have arid to hold, and to keep from poking into other people' business. Some one told me that Don Quixote charged a windmill, a very silly thing it seems to me for old Don to do, un less it was a human windmill. In that case the sillv thing was at me other end of the dilemma and old Quick was justified. If you have cause to be lieve that your sleeper w ill be hauntei by snoring dervishes, a good plan wouli be to arm yourself with a rriopihandle with a toy balloon on UM end, and if a snore st irm develops, nail v forth in fluted paiarnas. and having located the storm center of discord emulate Dot Quixote s example, and land an upper cut to the chin. I think you will agrei with me thft the impact and explosion would cause any old snore to backfire and when a snore backfires, its your inning. There is nothing like it. it's supreme, and has no rival, and won't have until the crack of doom. This am sure, would be a cure, at least for ten minutes. In case of a second offense, get cowboy with his lariat and leather barrelled hair legs to hog tie him am cast him into the babv's teething room "where there is weeping, wa ling and gnashing of teeth. Not being grammarian, nor yet a Missourian, my stunted vocabulary fails to express the indignation I feel when one of th aforesaid genus homo appropriates to himself a whole car, and makes a saw mill of it. The thought of it makes the dander boil in my brains. V hen gray-eyed morning shooed away the gloom, we were well on our way and our train half way across the state. Between i) and 10 a. m., a draw head on one of the coaches pulled out, necessitating some delay. We arrived at Ashland at N p. m., three or four hours late. They lost another three hours here fixing up the drawhead; this caused us to lose our reservations on No. n out or Oakland, as our tram failed to make connection. The Pull man Co., however, gave us berths on No. 110 over the coast route, which de parts from San Francisco at H:lf p. m. We saw very little snow, as it was night when we passed over the Siski yous. We did not see any sunshiny weather until we got nearly to Santa Barbara. We arrived in l.oiiK Beach on Saturday, the 18th, being approxi mately three days journey from Hood River. Ore.

NEW BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY NEED OF BEES IN ORCHARDS CITED a We notice that the farmers of Wasco county have begun a movement to re duce the cost of farm labor and to set a new scalemorecommensurate with the price ofjfarm products. The cost of labor in the farming bells, must be reduced materially from the high prices that have ruled for the past few years. Non-fiction Use of Lime in Soil The 're ofr down at Salem. We sug gest to the lawmakers that they mere ly practice the slogan of Iffl, "Work.'

Apparently manipulations by bond brokers was contagious. A Spokane firm went wn tig. and onejof the part ners has commuted suicide.

Dr. Mauum's Mother Passes Why is it that, when traveling through the farming sections of the northwest, one so seldom sees in or chard or dooryard the neatly painted and arranged little rows of beehives which are so common through the eastern states and in many sections of the middle west? Is it because the western farmers do not recognize thel value of bees in their relation to the fruit crops and in their equally import ant function of furnishing a delicious and healthful item for the table, or is it because they are under the impres sion that there is something compli cated and mysterious connected with the handling and care of the bees? We venture to believe that if the average farmer could once be introduced to the delightful pastime of beekeeping, could be shown how easily they are handled and could be convinced that they are not vicious little villians, always ready and anxious to puncture the innocent bystander, the number of beehives throughout the country would be mul tiplied past counting, the quantity of fruit marketed from year to year enor mously increased and the annual gro cery bill materially reduced bv the amount of honey to be sold or con sumed. Experiments conducted by the Na tional Department of Agriculture have demonstrated the fact that if bees are excluded from the blooms of nearly all kinds of tree fruits there will be no crop, the distribution of the pollen by the wind and through the activity of other insects being of such limited ex tent as to have little appreciable ef fect. On the other hand, orchardists and farmers who have a reasonable number of colonies of bees located in, or near, the orchard find their trees loaded to the breaking point nearly every season, and they also find that, in addition to the increased quantity, the quality is greatly improved. The writer once visited a prune grower of the Upper Willamette Val ley who had about twenty colonies of bees on a long bench, about the mid dle of his 19 acre-orchard. This grow er stated that his tonnage per acre was about one-third greater than that of any other growers in his section, part ly because of the better pollenization of the blossoms and partly because of the larger size of the prunes, and that he considered the work of the bees in the orchard to be much more valuable than the crop of honey which he har vested every fall. Many of the best professional bee keepers of the country got their start from studying and manipulating the few colonies inherited or bought on the farm, practical experience proving to them that, taking into account the time, the space occupied and the in vestment, the bees were the most profitable single item on the place. To uouoie me nuniner or colonies, spring count, and at the same time secure crop of honey equal to the value of the entire plant, bees and equipment, IS not at all an unusa experience At the present time, due probably to the high prices or honey, there is an unusual demand for bees and queens, and the t armer-beekeeper who finds his colonies increasing to a point where he hnds himself unable to give up the necessary time to their care will find no difficulty in disposing of his surplus at prices which will com pare favorably with those of the best product of pasture or stable. Due to this almost unlimited and at the fires mm nine wnoiiv unsatisfied demand tor iees, a comparatively new line of bus- ness has been developed in the south. that of supplyi- g bees by the pound, shipment being made by express or parcel post. The bees are shaken into a small compact shipping case lined with wire cloth, in which a sufficient amount of food has been placed to last them through to destination, safe ar rival being usually guaranteed. To such an extent has the business of furnishing queen bees grown that they now pass through the mails in such numbers as to require special rules for their handling and they are mailed not only to all parts of the United Slates, but to foreign countries as well, shipments having been made to Australia and the Philippines. Southern California is developing this branch of the bee business for the benefit of the coist, single breeders turning out many thousands during each season. I tiese are sold either direct to the individual heekeeiter or through a dealer, the Portland Seed Company, of Portland, having handled more than 2.10 queens the past season in supplying their territory. While there are a number of breeds, or strains, of bees to be found throughout the northwest, the breeding of queens is confined almost exclusively to the Italians. It is not likely that the farmer who has decided to make a side line of bee culture will find it necessary or desir aoie to undertake the somewhat com plicated work of raising queens, either for his own use or for market, but h will find it to his advantage to acquire a working knowledge of the various methods by which queens are intro duced to colonies which have become qiieenless from any cause and of the relation of the activities of the queen to those of the workers anil the drones. The queen is not, as is generally be lieved. the ruler of the colony. Sha apparently has no authority whatever in the hive and her tenure of office, as well as her life, is apt to lie terminated by the workers at any time necessity or whim appears to make it necessary. Apparently the queen lives for no other purpose than to lay eggs, and this she does unceasingly, night and day, during the entire summer, and if she is of a prolific strain she will de posit in the cell from 3.000 to 4.000 eggs each 24 hours. The usual life of a queen is two lo mtee ears. or a drone three to six months, and of a worker, in summer, thirty aix to forty days. Workers hatched late in the season, after the honey period has passed, live through the winter and for a short time the following spring. The present importance and success of the bee business is due to a large extent to the advances made in the ma i i.

NORTHWEST READY FOR NEW TOURISTS New hotel buildings are now being planned, automobile camping sites im proved and more camping sites are be ing provided by cities and towns in the Pacific Northwest to take care of the increase of tourist traffic strongly felt during 1920 and which is expected to be even greater in 1921. Herbert Cuthbert, executive secre tary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association, returned from an exten sive trip through the east, where he arranged with tourist agencies and railway traffic officials for the routing of a great number of touristu to this section, to find that new hotel projects are oeing pianne.i anu financed in Walla Walla, Everett, and Grays Har bor, Washington, anil Corvallis, Ore gon and other Pacific Northwest points where hotel accommodations are not considered sufficient to take care of the increased travel. Rainier National i'ark acommodations are to be in creased by 200 rooms. The 1H0 tourist season showed the heaviest travel ever enjoyed by this section, the money expended by tour ists being placed by the Pacific North wesst Touriht Association at approxi mately $45,000,000. A check of auto mobile trallic in Portland showed that five times as many automobiles from tutside the state passed through in 1920 as in 1818. TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE Delos J.
