S. O. extension service. Although only approximately four per cent of all land used for crop production Is In tree fruits, nuts ana berries, th average cash farm lncom from 1936 to 1930 was approximately $18,360,000 a year, or 16 per cent ot the total cash Income from all crops and livestock, according to the cir cular. The average cash farm Income from 1926 to 1930 In Oregon for apples was 15,006,000, prunes $3,159,000 (dried 52.669.000 and fresh $490,000), pears $3,484,000, cherries $1,556,00, peaches swum uiem, mil irom tneir expen $305,000 and apricots and plums $30,- ments they know that they are fund- 000. according to estimates by the United States department of agrlcul- ture.

The perfume of the rose, the power of electricity, the pull of gravity and the human spark of vitality have fired the thoughts and Imagination of men from the dawn of history. Scientist in recent years have de voted their thoughts to the more common but not leas vital things iwh'ch we and yet do feel and experience each day of our lives. - The Important question to man kind, now and ever, has been: "What are the mysterious elements in looa which, taken into the system and used by the Intricate digestive sys tem, have produced normal growth and healthy maintenance of the hard working human body? Some years ago learned food sci entists and nutrition experts discov ered certain vital elements they gave the name "vitamin." "These they des ignated, each for its own type or pur- Ps as A, B, O, D. and so on. Even these scientists have been unable to describe these elements of food so mat layman can reaany under- amentally necessary for normal growin ana lor tne maintenance oi neaitn. unseen tnougn tnese eie ments are, they are nevertheless pres. ent in certain foods, one or tne WB3 discovered to be a preventative of rickets In growing bodies. ; it is human nature to be mosv interested In experiments conducted aitlons and It Is for this reason that recent experiments and feeding test. Oregon people. One of the most striking examples of food nutrition and the absence oi the essential vitamins A and D were discovered In Dr. Moore's feeding ex. perlmenta on a litter or puppies. Two of these pups, whose pictures are shown at the end of 47 dayB of feed ing, are used to Illustrate this ar ticle. Eight puppies, all of normal cond:. tion and strength and all litter mates were placed in separate cages lot this experiment. They wero fed Iden tical rations with ono exception In the choice of food. One group, the check pen, was fed their normal ra tion plus butter, the other group, tne same ration plus a butter substitute. Both groups wore fed some milk products, whloh tended to take the place ot some of the elements founa lacking In the substitute dog rations, as shown by the Illustrations. Tho first Indication of lack ot proper feeding was noticed about tho third week," says Dr. Moore, In com. meting upon tho experiment. "When attendants went Into the room with the dogs both groups would stand up and bark, soon tne ouiur iea dogs would bark their greeting and subside Into quietness. On the other hand the substitute dogs would con. tlnuo to bark and howl for the en tire time anyone was near and often we heard them after everyone had left the room. This indicates an extreme nervous condition which soon became apparent In other symptoms' The doga were fed the same ration during the entire test and each day showed a marked Improvement In size and strength of the butter-fed dog. The experiment did not provo at the first of the test that the substitutes were proving dlroctly Injurious to tho dogs in that group, but that tho Im provement, the normal growth which should bo expected and the health and vigor which puppies of this age usually attain was much more marked In the butter-fed puppies. As the days passed tho change In the two groups became more marked and while the butter-fed pups becamo playful, brlght-cyed dogs, their lcs fortunate brothers and sisters In tho adjoining pen became lnactlvo, dull eyed runts who seemed only to wel come tho death which came to them from respiratory troubles on tho 56th day of the test, on the average. "The pictures taken during this test will tell their own story." con tlnues Dr. Mooro. "Seven weeks be. fore the pictures wero taken the up. per dog weighed more than the lower one: for every ounce of gain, the dogs on butter substitutes ate 3 per cent more calorics of food per pound of body weight than those on butter. But It did no more good man so much sawdust. Since Illness ana death occurred, the money spent for the butter substitute was wasted was also the money spent for all other food that these (the butter substitutes dogs) ate. These dogs de veloped digestive and respiratory trou bles, while the butttcr dogs remainca healthy." Dr. Moore and all other persons who watched this experiment ana even those who study tho various Il lustrations taken during the test art- convinced that butter contains that mysterious element, that vital some thing, which the growing body must have to maintain Its normal replace ment and growth. Tho lack-lustre eyes of the substitute dogs are strangely remindful of tho ambltlous- less eyes of hungry men to be seen In lines at welfare soup kitchens. The rickety bones and general lack of health tone bring back fearful pictures of ill-fed children In fam ine or war-swept countries. In thesv unfortunato puppies who were sacri ficed on the altar of Ill-feeding, we see the human counterpart of hu manity which from lack of knowledge or lack of money must be fed on careless, unsuitable diets. The question Immediately comes to mind, Just how many of the unfor. tunate souls who are being fed "econ omy" rations often prepared by those Half Million Fish unversed In human nutrition will la ter be forced to seek medical or opti cal care from other public welfare agenclos, at the expense of tho tax payer, all because their "publlo wel fare" diets were lacking in those es sential, vital food elements which the scientists have called tho vitamins. Fruit's Leaf Area Is Important The leaf area per fruit Is an Im portant factor In size and color de velopment. Thirty to 40 normal leaves per fruit functioning through out the season are required on most of our varieties of apples to produce An excess leaf area, however, Is ob ject lonnl to best fruit production. The fruit Is likely to be too large, too soft In texture, late in maturing ana generally poor In color. A thorough understanding of the functioning of leaves and the lent relationship to size and color of frulvi and to general tree growth and vigor is necessary o general understanding! of nearly all orchard operations, be lieves P. L. Overley, associate horti culturist at the Washington State college experiment station. A practice of heavy pruning wnicn generally decreases total foliage area will decrease fruit production. A pruning practice that thins out the weak spurs from the under side or the fruiting wood and permits suffi cient amount of the new growth to remain is generally most satisfactory from the standpoint of leaf area and fruit information. The size and color of fruit may be reduced by applications of sprays that reduce the normal functioning of the leaves, explains Mr. Overley, If tree has been thinned to the mini mum leaf area and sprays are ap plied causing arsenical burning to the leaves, the results will be reflected In the decreased size of fruit. Too many oil sprays may cause a blocked con dition In the vascular system and re tard the movement of the carbohy drates from the leaves. This also will cause a decrease In the size of the fruit. Large Farm Is Transferred ENTERPRISE (Speclol) The first largo deal In 'many months was re ported last week when Leonard B. Jordan and Richard Maxwell bought from L.
