Inspection 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.. ' -

The prune growers of Clarice; county, Washington, visited tbe different prune orchards on August 16, malting a study of fertilization and prun

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. A. McCor
mack of Tillamook." Pennie gave 1896
pounds of milk, 115.66 pounds of fat, in
the month of June. About $70 worth of
fat alone In a single month. - D. A. Wil
bur, tester for the Tillamook associa
tion, reports an average yield j of 40
pounds of fat. E. B. Fitts, in charge of
association testing: for O. A. C, reports
166 honor cows in all associations for
June. '. . '-
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.
The relative proportions in which the
honey of the last two years was mar
keted are indicated by 59 for extracted
honey, 31 fori comb honey and ( 10 for
bulk : honey. About one third of the
product goes to "outside" markets.

The I poultry culling demonstrations

and close margins of profit, no poultry

" 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.

JOSEPH SMITH
"The Mormon Prophet
Bv Dr. JAMES
Of the Council of the Twelve, Church of Jeus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The names that live, as titles of distinction in the memory of the race,
are of men whose message to the world is in a manner, new, whose mfHsion
Is specific and distinctive. : : ; -
The man of whom we speak, Joseph Smith, is one whom men can neither
fortret nor. igmore, try as they may. His place In history is secure ; ..whet her
he be known for good or, for evil his work is recognised as that of a mUsrlon
peculiarly his own. j : .
The messaa-e he bore, the lahor he performed amonjr his fellows, the claims
a made as to authority and appointment, have been questioned and analyzo
with keenest care and in most exacting detail, at the hands of both Ii lends
and opponents. - - 1 ' . ;
-Fw indeed are thelhlstorlc incidents in which so many ouestlons of supreme
Importance to mankind have turned upon the personality and claims of an
Individual, as are associated with the life and labors of the man, Joseph Smith.
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 '- ; . .,.. . ..(. !,.,
. J. He received byi direct ordination and appointment, at the hands of those
who were empowered in-former dispensations, the authority to minister in the
various ordinances off the Gospel. - - I
3. His possession jof the power of true prophecy and of other spiritual gifts
is abundantly shown by the results of his ministry. i
- ,4. The doctrines lie taught -are both true and scriptural.'
- While few people-outside" the Church, have had much to say in commendation
of this modern prophet, it Is interesting to note that there are some honorable
exceptions. . Joaiah iuincy, a prominent American, made the acquaintance of
Joseph Smith a short time before the latter's martrydom; and alter the tragic
event he-wrote as.followss '''"' -J. i -"
It Is by no mean s improbable that some future text-book, for the use of
generations yet unborn, will contain a Question something like this: What hi
terleal American-, ef-tfce aleeteenth eentsry has' exerted the oit powerfal
laflsence epoa the destlates ef His eeeatryaient And-it is by no means im
possible that the answer to -that interrogatory may be thus written: Joseph
Smltn, the Mormoa iFrophet. And the reply, absurd as it doubtless seems to
most men now living, may be an obvious commonplace to their descendants.
Hiftory deals in surprises and paradoxes quite as startling as this.
"The man who established a religion tn this age of free debate, who was and
Is today accepted by hundreds of thousands as a direct emissary . from the
Most High such a rare human being is not to be disposed of by peltlne; his
memory with unsavory epithets, , . . The most vital cuestions Americans
are' asking each other today have to do with this man and what he has left
us.,'. .? Burning questions they are, which must rive a prominent place in
the history .of the jcountry to. that sturdy self-asserter whom 1 visited at
