16 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 5. 1920 OREGON HOSPITAL HENS HOLD RECORD Fourteen Fowls Lay . 300 Eggs Each Annually. EXPERT PRAISES PLANT Institution Poultry Farm Expected to Vicltl $10,000 Profit for Year of 1919. SALEM, Or., April 4. (Special.) A pen of 14 hens at the state hospital for the insane here, each hen with a production record of more than 300 fgrKS annually, is said by Dr. James Dryden, poultry expert at the Oregon Agricultural college, to be tbo peer of any similar gathering of layers in the world. Dr. Dryden was here last week Inspecting the hos pital poultry and incidentally giving the attendants some advice with re gard to the care of the feathered flocks. Dr. Dryden said that while on a trip east last summer he visited many public institutions of the various states, but nowhere did he find a poultry plant of such interest as that conducted in connection with the lo cal hospital. tie attributes the suc cess of the local plant to the egg produning proclivities of the Oregon strain, together -with the fact that the facilities for keeping the birds are strictly modern and the result of many years of scientific research. The hospital poultry plant covers approximately 200 acres of ground, and here and there over the broad ex panse are many 'houses "with a capaci ty of from 40 to 50 birds together with scratching pens and other equip ment important to the success of the industry. These houses are built along the line of the colony system, and are equipped with nests so con structed that an accurate count may be kept of the eggs laid by any par ticular hen or pen of hens. Two-Year Profit flB.OOO. During the years 1917 and 1918 the hospital poultry plant produced $11, 133.31, against which was charged la bor, feed, interest on the investment, purchases of new stock and many in cidentals. After deducting all these expenses the plant . cleared a net profit of more than $15,000. Although figures for the year 1919 are not yet available. Dr. Steiner. superintendent of the hospital, believes the net profit from the poultry plant will near $10, 000, while this year's profit may ex ceed that sum. There are kept at the plant between 400 and 700 chickens, depending to some extent on the season of the year. During the month of February, which is one of the lowest producing periods of the year, the hospital hens pro duced a total iji 5086 dozens of eggs. In addition hundreds of the older birds were killed and served to the patients. The incubating house, which stands on an ideal site near the main hos pital, is a model of cleanliness and is mnriprnlv pnuinneri tor the nrnduetion of baby chicks. Investigation last week showed that there were approx imately 5000 eggs in progress of in cubation, while others will be set as soon as the present hatch is complet cd. It is not uncommon, according to Dr. Steiner, for a hatch of from to 80 per cent of the eggs placed in the incubators, while the loss of baby chicks is negative. The poultry plant was established about six years ago by an expert from the agricultural college, but now in charge of A. D. Zinser, an expert in the art of egg and poultry produc tion. Dr. Dryden In Advinor, Dr. Dryden, who has given his life work to the poultry industry, acts in an advisory capacity for the ho pltal, and makes frequent inspection of the flocks. In addition to supplying the wants of the patients at the hospital with eggs and poultry for the table, much of the product of the plant is shipped to the exclusive clubs of Portland and be attle where it demands the highest prices. In keeping tab on the production and attendant costs, however, the regular market quotations as found in the Portland newspapers are con sulted and no attempt is made to "camouflage" the records. During his inspection of the plant Dr. Dryden incidentally remarked that to make poultry raising profit able it was essential that the hens should lay at least 200 eggs a year. Less than this number, he says, will not guarantee the cost of their keep and pay interest on the investment. STRIKERiy CONFER NEW YORK HARBOR WORKERS EXPECT SUPPORT.

SIBERIA TROOPS STAY JAPAN DECIDES TO DELAY WITHDRAAYAL AT PRESENT. Move Explained by "Menace" Manchuria and Corea by Political Conditions. to "WASHINGTON, April 4. Japan is unable to withdraw its troops from Siberia at this time because of the danrer confronting Japanese citizens In that country and the "menace" to Manchuria and Corea growing out of present political conditions in Siberia, according to a statement published in the Official Gazette at Tokio, which was transmitted today to the state department. The Japanese government reaffirms that as soon as the safety of the Uvea and property of its nationals is as sured and political conditions in Si beria "settle down," it will evacuate the country "provided the Czecho slovaks have been completely with drawn." "The geographical relations of the empire with Siberia differ from those of the other powers," said the state ment. "Not only political conditions in far eastern Siberia affect condi tions both in Manchuria and Corea, but a large number of the Japanese residents in Siberia are practically placed under such conditions that the safety of their lives and property can not be assured. "This is the reason why the empire is not able to withdraw the troops immediately. The empire entertains r.o political ambition toward Russia. As soon as the political conditions on the territory adjacent to our country settles down, as soon as the menace to Manchuria and Corea has been re moved, the safety of the lives and property of the Japanese residents as sured, and the freedom of communi cations guaranteed, we hereby re affirm our pledge that the empire will evacuate Siberia provided the HENS AT STATE HOSPITAL Mf?

Allen, telephone engineer of the forest serv ice, a series of wireless tsts were con ducted Saturday from the sending station on the roof of the new post office building. The tests were made for the purpose of trying out a spe cial arc telephone set invented by W. W. Hanscom of San Francisco; and also to determine how many of the amateur radio operators in Portland can qualify for work with the for estry service during the coming summer. It is planned eventually to estab lish some two or three dozen wireless stations which will be scattered through the forests, and beginning next fall a school will be conducted for the instruction of the rangers as wireless operators. In the mean time, however, the forestry service hopes to make use of many of the amateurs of the state and the test last night was made as a preliminary tryout. John Pierson, Ralph Galyean and Charles Austin were among those having amateur wireless sets about the city who listened in on messages sent out from the postoffice building. Hoover's Name Withheld.'

GOOD RETURN COMPUTED W. H. Paulhamus, ' Mead of Can nery Company, Advocates "Rea sonable" Price for Crop. Growers of loganberries should be willing to accept "a reasonable" price for their product this season, instead of holding out for too great a profit, otherwise their action might perma nently injure the business, declared PENS GREATEST GROUP OF LAYERS IN THE WORLD. W. H. Paulhamus, president of the Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers" Cannery company, in a statement just issued. He indicated a quotation of from 10 to 12 cents a pound and said an excellent profit would accrue at that rate. Mr. Paulhamus caid: "Realizing that the permanent suc cess of both the grower and the manufacturer of loganberries depends upon a proper co-operation on the part of both, I desire to point out to you some of the conditions that con front the manufacturer. Quotation Time at Hand. "This is the season of the year when the manufacturer should be able to get out his quotations to the whole sale grocer and the wholesale grocer to send out prices to the retail grocer. This not only applies to strawberries. raspberries, blackberries and all other ruit and berries, but loganberries as well. At present It is impossible for any manufacturer to quote logan berries in any form for the reason that the grower is slow in naming a price, and dealers can appreciate that unless the usual method of marketing is followed, the wholesale grocer is liable to start his salesmen out with out a price on loganberries. This will naturally result in a slowing up of he movement of loganberries, which would be a distinct loss to the grower and to the industry. firovrer la in Saddle. "This is a peculiar year from the growers standpoint. In fact, it is what is known as a grower's year, and the grower is in the saddle: but he grower should not be blind to the fact that the supply of loganberries for 1921-1922, and future years will be many times what they are today, and in order that we may stimulate he desire of the consumer to purchase loganberries, so that we may be able to take care of the large crops at rea sonable prices, the grower should not take too much advantage of his pres ent position. Of course, it is natural for every grower to want all that he can get for his berries. This is human. But as stated before, all of the logan berries in the world are grown in the Pacific northwest, therefore, there Is no real reason why the loganberry grower should not receive a good price. What the manufacturer is in terested in is that he is not compelled to pay more for his supply of logan berries than his competitor. As the manufacturer always adds to the cost of the raw material his overhead plus reasonable profit, it really does not make much difference to him whether loganberries cost him 10 cents a pound or iz cents a pound, provided he can pass the buck along to the consumer; but there is a serious question as to how high the price should reach and not retard the industry. Healthy Market Desirable. "If the grower expects to discon tinue the growing of loganberries at the end of this year, he is not inter ested in the future marketing of the very greatly increased crops that will be produced during the years of 1921, l2Z, 1923 and other years, but if he expects to stay in the loganberry business he is seriously interested in establishing a healthy marketing con ditlon for the berries during future years. The loganberry is on trial and if we can keep up a healthy development or tne consumption of this berry dur ing the next five years as has been the case during the past two years, the grower will then be in a position to market all of the loganberries pro duced in Oregon and Washington, but if he stands too rigid for too great a profit this year, it may result in the curtailment of the consumption to such a degree that he will lose more money in future years than he can possibly make this year. "Every loganberry grower can make a fine profit on his berries by selling at 10 or 12 cents a pound, and if by holding for a greater sum he should curtail food consumption at a time when the price rray be much lower than this year, the loss will be more keenly felt than to accept a reason able price today and help stimulate the industry." More Strawberries Planted. WHITE SALMON, Wash., April 4. (bpecial.) A very substantial in crease In the strawberry acreage of the White Salmon valley eection will take place this spring; a setting of several nunareav tnousand plants be ing planned. There is a great scarc ity of plants throughout the north west and many will produce their own for added acreage next year. Im proved roads have made possible the producing of soft fruits as far as 13 miles from shipping points.' FARM LABOR HARD TO FIND Shortage In Oregon Being Called to Attention of Middle West. That a shortage of farm help Is a strong possibility is the declaration of George Quayle, secretary of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, who has addressed to each of the constituent organizations a letter urging a survey of conditions and the submission of a report oh eame. "At this season of the year," said Mr. Quayle, "there is no unemploy ment and it looks as though a serious shortage of farm labor may be a reality this season. I am asking the various organizations affiliated with the state chamber to investigate and report. We may have to send an agent to the middle west to call attention to the situation and to let those who wish to avail themselves of the oppor tunity to come to Oregon and work during the harvesting."

TAKIMA, "Wash.. April 4. Members of the state industrial code commis sion and representatives of Yakima abor unions yesterday discussed ques tions connected with the proposed in dustrial code in the concluding ses sion of the Takima meeting of the commission. They agreed that some form of tribunal for investigation of indus trial disputes would be desirable; that such tribunal should have power to make findings and recommenda tions, but should not have power to Impose its findings upon either labor unions or employers and that unions and employers should retain their present economic weapons, the strike and lockout. The labor representatives declared. however, that such a tribunal with advisory powers would settle at least half of the present labor disputes, and that public opinion would make many of the tribunals findings ef fective. In case of a deadlock in the commission it was agreed that the status of both labor and employers would be changed.
