THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1913 9 After the Doctor TME DRUQQIST The doctor's work is only half what ha3 to be done. for the pa tient. And if the druggist be lacking in ability and care the prescription might as well have never been written. But we make a special study of each case and our own medical knowledge is thorough enough to be of great use to us in those sometimes oc curring cases when the doctor, in his haste, makes a slight error.

LOCAL APPLES WIN AT NEW YORK SHOW la competition with apple from many of the leading fruit section of the country, including New York mate, Hood River fruit carried off the blue ribbons at an exhibit given under the auttplceg of the New York State Col lege of Agriculture. Some time ago Thomas E. Avery, owner of one of the premier orchards on the EaHt Side, was requested to prepare Hood River entries for this countrywide exhibit. A dozen plate exhibits, including as many varieties, were prepared through a process of careful and painstaking selection, These varieties were secured from sev eral orchards of the valley, only the most perfect specimens being used. Hans liollandsrud, foreman in Mr. Av ery's packing house, took an active interest in the work and assisted in preparing the exhibits. Mr. Avery has Just received word that the 12 exhibits took seven first prizes, three seconds and two thirds The ribbons were enclosed. The va rieties which took first prizes were as follows: Black Twig, Spitzenberg, Golden Russet, Monmouth, Ortley, Sa lome, and Winter Banana. Second prizes were taken by the Arkansas Black, Jonathan and Salome varieties. Third prizes were captured by the Wlnesap and York Imperial. With the awards Mr. Avery received the follow ing letter from H. B.' Knapp of the department of pomology at Cornell Uni versity, who was In charge of the ex hibition: "The fruit which you sent from Hood River for our fruit exhibit arriv ed safely and in good condition. 1 wish to thank you for your interest and generosity in helping us out. am forwarding to you the awards which were made to your fruit with my congratulations and best wishes. WOULD PUT BAN ON OREGON APPLES Apple growers of Watsonvllle, Cal., are up in arms over the heavy impor tations of Oregon apples into the state for consumption and last week lodged an emphatic protest with the San Francisco commission men. "Handle our apples or we will arrange to sell direct at retail ourselves," was the threat with which Watsonville grow ers backed up their demands. With this ultinatum went the an nouncement that If the commission men do no act, apply depots will be opened in-many sections of San Fran cisco apd Oakland. The total pack of California In 1912 is placed by A. Levy, of the A. Levy J. Zentner .Company, at 1,230,000 boxes, and there still remain in cold storage In San Francisco 600,000 boxes Stocks in other cities of the state, In cluding Watsonvllle, are placed at 500.0UO boxes. The Watsonville stock according to . Levy, is about 180,000 boxes. All of these apples must be sold be fore the cherry and apricot seasons begin. The day these fruits come In there is a slump in apples. If the season is late this year the apple crop may be cleaned up, but If it is early there will be some stock left, a loss. The attitude of the commission men is: "Let them come on. We do not care. We will sell any kind of apples, Oregon or Watsonvllle." NOW YOUR WIFE CAN WEAR YOUR ORCHARD "If you have an orchard, wear It on your hat," is the latest dictate which has been issued by the fashion mak ers of gay Paree to the waiting women of the world. Orchard effects in fem inine headgear will now be the proper thing, so says the edict, apples in all shades of green,' red and yellow pre dominating in the latest mode hats which have made their appearance on the streets of Tarls. A dispatch from that city says that one especially chic top piece was decorated with two peaches, half a dozen plums, a hand ful of cherries and a couple of Spitz enberg apples. Whether the latter were of the Hood River brand is not stated. The other creations are equally freakish, the dispatch states, and It goes on as follows: Drawing their In spiration from the new and freakish Futurist cult of art, the milliners of Paris today are preparing for the spring market the wierdest confections in feminine headgear that have ever been attempted. The Futurist hat Is without any par ticular shape or form, but the color combinations are a bit noisy. For In stance, an exceptionally modest cre ation, displayed In the Rue do I-a Palx. shows four colors In the trimming red, violet, green and yellow. Another favorite ensemble Is mandarin blue, emerald green, Spanish yellow and bishop's purple, with a dnsh of rerlse. Most time to plant gardens. GETS RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR RIVER ROAD (From the Oregonian) At a conference last week between County Judge Cleeton and Commission ers Llghtner and Hart, for the county, and representatives of theO.-W. R. & N. Co. It was demonstrated that the county will have litUe difficulty in amicably securing from the railway company a right of way for the Portland Hood-River road at points where the tracks and the proposed survey clash or come close together. In fact Assistant Manager Buckley, Attorney Arthur Spencer, Assistant Engineer Chase and J. W. Morrow, head of the right of way and tax de partment, who were there for the rail way company, tentatively agreed to let the county road get through at tight places by Infringing on the prop erty of the railway company. All that remains is to work out the details. In some places the railway company will move its tracks, but this is in line with the plans of its engineers for re ducing curvature and putting In a double track. County Surveyor Hol brook explained his surveys to the as semblage In detail. The action of the railroad company in giving way to the county will result in the road costing much less than It would otherwise and in the ellnmiatioo of several heavy grades which would be. pecessary. HOW TO GET EGGS IN WINTER IS TOLD Writing in the "Rural Oregonian," M. C. Couch gives some advice on how to get hens to lay in winter. He says: "Preparation for the birds that will make up the pens for the next winter's layers should be made in Octorber. The stock needs to be the very best ob tainable. An Ideal bird for winter egg production Is a pullet that is matured at about the first of November, and Is strong and vigorous, and of a good laying strain. Something depends on breed, but more on the strain, and still more upon a good strong consti tution and an abundance of vigor, for we may bare one of the best strains in existence and a good strain of this breed, yet if it lacks the strong constitution and vigor, we shall never be able to accomplish much with it Keep these points well in mind when you starf In to breed up either a show strain or a laying strain of fowls. "To have pullets of .large breeds, such as Rocks and Reds, to develop so as to lay In the fall, they should be hatched in April. There Are some sea sons when May hatches will do fully as well, but not as a rule. If a pullet does not commence to lay by the mid die of December, the chances are she will not begin before along in Febru ary, unless the winter is very mild But good yearling hens, if they molt early, make about as good late fall and early winter layers as the pullets. The question is, whether we can get them to molt early enough. As a gen eral thing, we are not able to do this. Many of us have noted that a hen that brings off a brood of chicks in June usually molts about the time the chickens are being weaned, and from this experience it would appear that the best plan for inducing an early molt would be to place the flock un der conditions similar to those of the setting hen, and to some extent this plan !s carried out. Hen of the small breeds are sometimes profitable layers until three of four years old some times older. "But the English Indian Runner duck has all other birds "stopped" in this respect.They don't bother much with the molt, but just keep right along doing business, and, as a rule, they are good for a longer term ot years than any hen." LOCAL SOIL SURVEY IS BEINGJREPARED Washington, D. C- (Special) The field work of the soil survey of the Hood River area, niad' by experts of the Bureau of Soils, IT. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, has been complet ed. The report will be issued some time during the latter part of the com ing summer. The area surveyed comprises parts of Hood River county. Oregon, and Klickitat and Skamania counties. Wash ington, and contains 2ji square miles, or 160,000 acres. The survey was made In order that the department might show the crop adaptations of the various types of soil In th.i area and mak'- recommenda tions as to what methods of farm man agement should be practiced to ob tain larger returns per acre, and, at the same time, maintain or Increase he present fertility of the soil. A soil map showing in colors the ocation and extent of the various types of soil encountered In the area, and the location of all farm houses, churches, schools, public roads, rail roads and streams In the area, will ac company the report. WHOLESALE APPLE DEALERS PEEVED Wholesale apple dealers in Portland are considerably peeved because they believe Hood River apples are being sold direct to the retailers and the wholesalers are being deprived of their rake-off. The Journal says: Front street interests have decided to patronize only those apple shippers that do not sell direct to retailers, they make the claim that as long as shippers sell retailers at the same price the street Is asking, the latter can find no place to dispose of Its product. Two Hood River shipping companies are charged by the Front street men with selling direct, therefore individu ally they say they will no lonegr pur chase supplies from these Interests. As there are two other Hood River ship ping concerns that can send them all the stock they need, there is no fear of a famlnle in Portland. "W have been loyal to Hood River," says a Front street man, "but the first chance some of the companies there get they try to down us by selling direct. They have two men here who do nothing else but sell apples and most of their time Is taken up by the retailers. "We have been so loyal to Hood Riv er and other local sections that we have been holding orange prices rather high In order to help the apple gowers to sell their product. We could pur chase apples from the Yakima sections at a liberal reduction from what we are actually paying Hood River for the same goods, but have discouraged the outsiders from shipping here be cause we felt that our interests were closer with the local people." Both Dun and Bradstreet report that there is a satisfactory increase in the volume of business, notwithstanding the conervatism due to tariff dissen sion. Send Now for Free Copy Tbe CHAS. H.
