Newspaper Page TextInspection Trip to PRUNE PROBLEMS STUDIED AT FIRST By It. C. Stewart It was a big day. The knowl edge that was grained was assimilated easily because the entire day was given over to demonstration and discussion of radical - problems right fn the field. It was all made possible through the farm bureau ' with the cooperation of the Wash ington Agricultural college, and the Washington Growers Cooperative association, all of them working to further "the interests of the prune growers of Clarke county. It was a ' businesslike and - serious crowd that went from orchard to or chard comparing the results of the dif ferent methods that have been employed on the various prune ranches fn the .past few years and making plans to " develop their own orchards in . the fu ture. Such a crowd is seldom seen to gether as the one that studied the ef fects of fertilisers and pruning tn the Vancouver section on Monday,-August 16. they were really students. FERTILIZER STUDIED More than 200 were In line to visit : the first orchard, that of J. W. Moody, near Fellda.- Here a study of fertilisers was made and the results of fertilising . at different periods noted. The orchard is divided into plots and various experi ments have been carried on by Moody during the past few years to determine '.the besst practical methods. 4 The next orchard visited was that of Fred Brooker. near the Lake Shore school. This Is one of the oldest prune orchards in the county, having been Bet out for 27 years. This 21 acres did not produce a crop in 1313. 1914, 1915' and , when Brooker boueht it in 1915 it looked like- a. poor investment. Brooker be lieves in moderately heavy pruning and. above all, heavy applications of barn yard manure. He now has proof to back up his theories, for he has not had a single crop failure and has had some very heavy yields. Brooker puts the manure on in. the fall, as soon as he can eret the cron off. and immediately plows -ft under, plowing rather deep. SHALLOW PLOWING In "the Spring a . shallow plowing is given, audi then cultivation about every 10 days during the summer. Kach work ing given is shallower than the previous one. The ground in this orchard was free of weeds and the surface a fine mulch, keeping the moisture up to with in an inch or so of the top. In keeping with the day, Brooker served fruit punch to the visitors. On the way back into Vancouver, the 4-year-old orchard of R. J. Firestone was visited and the effects of heavy pruning noted and discussed. The trees had been allowed to go over. one year without pruning and then, to give them the desired shape, had been pruned back Into the 2-year-old wood with what ap pears now tto have been detrimental . results. '.? 1 . The growers' new packing plant In Vancouver which la nearly complete was the scene of the bounteous picnic lunch . served by the growers. SSOOO IS SATED This three-story plant, built f by the Cooperative association at a saying of over $5000 under ths contractors' best bids, . will be one of the best plants on the coast. ItwiU be ready for the first nf thin vpar'n rrnn. After tha lunch short talks were given by the Vancouver ,Pru narians, prdne growers and E. F.; Rob- ertson, representative of the state col- lege. , " The results of using vetch as a fer : tilizer in a foil needing humus was shown at the II. Sperber orchard. Vetch has been used every year since 1912, with but one crop failure and with a good crop nearly every year. , At the A. Wechner orchard the results of usinjr vetch and commercial fertiliser Was shown, the average yield, 1914 to 1 1919, . being one ton per. acre. Two ftnd seven-tenths tons per acre Is the average yield for the A. Ferrin orchard during the past seven'' years, showing the. results of heavy manuring. RESULTS SATISFACTORY In the Billie Wood orchard the same fertiliser experiments have been carried on as in the Moody orchard, the first one visited. jr .. It was a day well planned to give .everyone A better understanding of the best methods of 'fertilisation and prun ing. The ability and value of the farm bureau and county agent ' to the com ' munlty was impressed upon all. C. O. Fillers, the county agent, is to be congratulated upon the work he is doing to bring better conditions to the Agricultural industries of Clarke county. 'The county'ls fortunate to have a live organisation like the Washington Grow ers' Cooperative association to work for the interests of all of the fruit growers of the county and state. Clackamas Cattle Herds1 Invaded by Contagious Malady What appears to be hemorrhacrlo sep ticemia is taking a big toll of the dairy cattle in Clackamas' county. One man, H. . Lambert,' is reported to have lost five out of his seven cows. It would seem that the disease is contagious, the cows dying from two to seven days apart. ' . Five local veterinarians are working nls case and the 'state veterinarian has! been called. ' ' Dr. W. H. Lytle states that the best method "of caring for a herd that snows signs of the disease is to seg regate the sick animals and change feed and water. The entire herd should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Oil meal gruel and j plenty of succulent reeos are we Dest, as it is thought u.ai ruusn iceus win sometimes cause the malady. - i The most pronounced symptoms are dropping off. in the milk flow, sweat ing of the legs and under parts, and finally a profuse bleeding at the . mouth, i . 1 The malady has spread to several herds, where from two to fifteen ani mals have been lost. Dr. Lytle believes that they now have the matter well in hand, as they have been vaccinating all of the infected animals.. ' - ; Xlolstcln Herd Sold Sandy, Aug. 21. R. L.

Tbe trip was. arranged by the farm bureau and a specialist from the state college gave belpfnl Information on prune culture. At the top Is shown the growers leaving the prune orchard of II. Sperber E After a long, hard-fought, legal bat tle, . which ; has lasted since the early part of this year. Judge Wright, of Thurston county superior court.! sitting at 01ympia,!has finally handed down decision in the celebrated foreign egg case, which may be considered a victory for the poultrymen. H The effect of Judge Wright's decision of the egg -case is to leave In full force it r nnntri and offered fori sale in the state of Washington to be 'sold as such." j ! , Each egg offered for sale imported into the state is required, under the 1919 act, to be marked, branded or stamped with the name of the1 country In which it is produced. The 1919 act also requires that when the eggs are imported in a can or container that the container must like wise be marked so as to indicate the country from which the eggs are sent ; that is, the enforcement of the 1919 act is not Interfered with, nor is the act of 1919 held unconstitutional. The state is free to enforce the 1919 act. . The effect of Judge -Wright's decision is to restrain the enforcement of that part of the 1915 act requiring all restau rants, hotels, bakeries and confection eries using foreign eggs to put up signs announcing to their consumers or custo mers that they ' use foreign eggs. Any one. however, importing eggs into this state is required to label the eggs with the name of the country in which they are produced, .whether the eggs are im ported in the shell, or otherwise, j Oregon Cow ' New Test Records A new high-water mark In production by testing association cows in Oregon has been set by "Pennie," a grade Jer sey in the dairy herd of L.

'- Increase in Honey : Production Noted i The average yield of surplus honey In 1919 was 50 pounds to a colony xf honey bees, as estimated by the bureau of crop estimates. United States department of agriculture.! This ia considerably above the average of 45 pounds in 1918, land of 41. pounds for the five years 191J-1917.

" Poultry raisers will find that with the raising of the larger breeds, for instance, Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, they will have an excess of broody hens. All such hens not used for batching" pur poses should . be "broken up.". This can be accomplished by interning the broody hen lit a well ventilated . coop or "box, which ; has a slatted or wire bottom. Through this - the air can' circulate free ly and thus aid .In reducing the broody fever. Hens housed. ,in this manner must be well fed from troughs just out side of the coop. Skim milk and butter milk, meat scraps or tankage are the essential feeds at this time, as they aid in maintaining the force and vigor -of the egg-producing organs. A cure .from broody- fever- is effected in from three to seven days of such confinement At the end of this time they may be re turned - to- the laying contingent of the flock, ! in order - that a 50 per; cent egg production be maintained. ; ; " The , safest way ' for those who are about'' to make their first . attempt at poultry raising is to start in a small way with .a few fowls and learn the business thoroughly before making large investments, advise poultry " specialists of the United States department of ag riculture. Mistakes will be made and many- difficult problems, will be Ipre sen ted for solution before success In any large measure will be attained. As soon as it is found to be a paying investment more capital may be put into the plant.

While yet' a lad he appeared on the ftnpe of human notice, declaring, in gentle tone and simple words, , that he had ben personally visited and in structed by the Eternal Father and by Jesus Christ.; - If -the -basis-of this solemn declaration Ibe delusion or illusion, if Joseph Smith Intentionally dr involuntarily thus proclaimed a falehood. In short, if he was himself mistaken and was to others a deceiver, then the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the embodiment of hypocrisy and deceit. On the other hand! If the testimony; of the boy, if the life-work of the man, with Its traffic close fn the cruet ecenes of martyrdom. If these be arenuine and true, then the perpetuity of the Church Is assured, its bold claim as the repos itory of the Holy Priesthood is proved. Its authority is vindicated and its sanctity confirmed, j ; The evidence of Divine authority In the work established by Joseph Smith, and of the justification of the claims made by and for the man, may be sum marised as follows : j . j : j !'... , -1,' Ancient prophety has been fulfilled in the restoration of the Oonpel snd the reestablishment of the Church of Jesus Christ upon the earth, through hn Instrumentality, , i H '- ; . .,.. . ..(. !,., .
