CRANKS IX AMERICA.
Israel Zangwill, the noted English author, remarked in a
lecture 6ome time ago in this country, that there are more cranks
to the square mile in America than in any other country. As he
told his audience that the Americans are the most lovable people
in the world, his criticisms were taken good naturedly. Hut do
our institutions tend to breed cranks? Almost anyone who has
strong convictions is called a crank by some one. Modern society
likes the pliant and pleasant man,, who has no firm convictions.
Such folks are never called cranks, but they are not a force in
leading public opinion. Just as a crank may be needed to make
an engine move, so it is the cranks, the extremists, who arouse
public opinion, and wake the nation or the community up to do
the things that must be done. Still there is a quality of cranki
ness that people must avoid if they expect to exercise much in
fluence. It is cultivated by dwelling too much on any one line
of thought. There are always some folks who get their minds al
most exclusively on some one evil. It fills their horizon, and they
attribute all the troubles of the nation to that one fault. Prob
ably it is true that the more intelligence exists in a country, the
more cranks there will be. Crank views do not occur in a coun
try where people do not read and think much. Such folks are too
absorbed in the superficial aspects of life. Cranky types are
found rather in countries where there is a great deal of public
discussion and people get stirred up over public questions. It is
perhaps true that there arc more cranks in America than else
where, but it is at least proof that our people are thinking.
o
Many people are loudly informing the public that they have
no bananas today. Also by the uncultivated look of their back
yards, it is evident that they have no beans, potatoes, peas, or
other useful vegetables.
o
Much is said about necessity of treatment for the scalp. .Out
forefathers had this attended to by the bloodly Injuns, who felt
the best tiling was to remove the scalp altogether.
o
Storm clouds are said to be still lowering over the world, and
the irresponsible and unscrupulous people who run off with our
umbrellas should be severely dealt with.
o
It takes a lot of mediation to end strikes, when if there was
more mediation they might not occur in the first place.
o
The boys do not have to learn to write legibly now, as they
are of course all going to have typewriters.
About all that many of the politicians have done toward re
forestation is to plant more plum trees.
o
The 12 hour work day is considered an awful thing for
everybody but Mother.
o
Many people are working quite hard to avoid work.

Put in a window
Display yeatiddy
And made peepholes
In big sheets of

And there was
Such a crowd
Of women around
That we couldn't
See what it

Geo. Cohan wrote a pippin' of a

on to our bunch of perusers:
MYSELF AND ME
I am the best pal I ever had,
I like to be with me;
I like to sit and, tell myself
Things eoaf identially.
I often tit and ask me
If I shouldn't or I should, '
And I find that my advice to me
It always pretty good.
I never got acquainted with
Myself till here of late;
And I find myself a bully chum,
I treat me simply great.
I talk with me and 'walk with me.
And show me right and wrong;
I never knew how well myself
And I could get along.
I never try to cheat me;
I'm as trustful at can be.
No matter what may come or go,
I'm on tne square wnn me.
It's great to know yourtelf and have
M pal inai a an ywui " ,
To be tuch company for yourtelf,
you re never leu aionc.
You'll try to dodge the masses.
And you'll find the crowds a joke,
If you only treat yourself as well
At you treat oiner toiks.
I've made a atudy of myself,
Compared me with the lot,
And I've finally concluded
I'm the best friend. I've got.
Just get together with yourself,
And trust yourself with you.
And you'll be surprised how wen
yourtelf
Will like you if you do.

Another modern Invention which
we met up with recently was a hand

POLLEN ATIONS OF THE FRUIT
CROP
Possibly tho greatest agency in
pollenatlon of fruit trees comes
through beeB. wild and domesticated.
Olher ngencies of Importance are
wind, rain, certain Insects and birds,
lo a minor extent. With but few ex
ceptions all fruits and seed plants
produce more abundantly if the free
agencies of cross pollenatlon are al
lowed full force. It is fortunnte that
man can largely control the domi
nant factor in the proper ppllrnallon
of his fruit. The unfortuna-te fact -of
the subject is that very few orchard
lats have made no effort to have one
or more stands ot bees available at
pollcnation time or more stands of
bees per acre of mature trees In bear
ing. The cherry crop absolutely re
quires cross pollenatlon if the fruit is
to develop. A number of our aweet
cherries aro not only storilo one with
another but are inter-sterile with
each other. Possibly the best pollen
Izer for Blng. Lambert and Royal
Anne are first Black Republican.
Black Tartarian and long stemmed
Waterhouse. A variety known as cen
tennial is a good pollenizer for
Hoyal Anne. The pollenatlon of
sweet cherries this year means more
than It has for aeveral yeara at it
happens that the beat pollenlrers
such at the varietict mentioned above
have been terloualy injured by the
winter freeze.
At county agent I would atrongly
advise every grower having aweet
cherriea to secure at least two strong
colonies of beet for every acre of
sweet cherriet he baa in fruit. The
bees will pay for themselves in the
polllnlzatlon work in tbe cherry or
chard alone. If you have never hand
led beet your knowledge can be ma
terially increased by securing litera
ture from the county agenft office.
Whether you know anything about
thla aublect or not, get a few hives to
put in the cherry orchard. From In
dications they are going to be of im
mense value this year.
B. W. COONEY, County Agent.
BROCCOLI GROWERS ORGANIZE
It it believed that the majority of
broccoli growers of the L'mpqua Val
ley know that an association was re
cently organized to foster tne prouue.
tlon of this immensely valuable crop.
The association has rather a large
name but the county agent informs the
world that the activities of the asso
ciation aro larger than the name. The
name it as follows: Douglaa County
Broccoli Protective Association. The
oblect of this association will be to as
slst every member grower In the pro
duction of a miximum crop or oroc-
coll. Naturally tho program starts
with good trustworthy seed. B. W
Cooney, county agent and secretary
of the association, says that he has
information regarding seed that is K
worth a good many dollars to any K
grower. This information can only go. J
out satisfactorily to the actual mem- 4
bership. Sixty growers have alrendy A
aligned themselves with the associa- TA
tion and have handed in their fee of
one dollar. Thla association will Be
on the Job every day in the year in W
.ii ...i..H thut nertnin to actual .
production. Problems of marketing
are well taken care of at this time by
two or more efficient organizations.
