j : - THURSDAY llORNING DECE3JBER1, 1921 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON - : I- ft,- rjp "0 QDDGd Lp?(Q)J EG Oil PTIQN WYDEinSED Possibly the Poultry . Indus try Is Blind to Its Great 'l El; U .Opportunities Since the Pacific coast Is ex , plotting the London market for the sale of some of Its hen fruit it will be interesting to learn of the annual consumption of eggs by the t population of Greater London. That it Is an enormous Quantity is shown by Edward Brown in a re it cent issue of the Feathered World, "where he says "that the average consumption of eggs In Great Brlt m ain, inclusive of Imported, Irish and home produced, in 1913-waa 4 120 per head of the population, and that in 1920 the average was 03 eggs per unit, though it is probable London was a little above the rest of the country. Taking it as stated, and on the 1921 popu lation, the consumption In 1913 ' -would be 897,000,000 of eggs need in Greater London, and in 1920, " f 95,000,000, a decline of 202, 000.000, or about 13,450 tons. "'These figures show that in 1913 the average -weekly consumption was 2.3 eggs per unit in London, and in 1920 1.78 eggs. If the con. ' sumption of eggs is Greater Lon don were advanced to three per onit per week thete would be needed-1,168, 000,000 of egg or 4 471.000,000 more than in 1020. entailing an increase of il.fiO tons. Every egg per week beyond turee would demand an additional w supply for Greater London of 388,000,000, or nearly 26,000 t tons. Such, calculations can be , carried to any'length, If Cana- dlans eat, as they are Bald to do, and as was the case in Paris before the war, an average of four eggs weekly, that should notbe Is ex 4 cess of the London appetite or needs. It Is mainly a question of production. To raise the supply as , In 1920 to four eggs per week per unit of population in Greater Lon don would require 12,701,090 more hens, each averaglug M0 esgs per annum." All of which is 4 interesting from the fact that the consumption of poultry - products , is after all a somewhat negligent quantity, not only in London,, but t by peoples generally. It Is doubt ful if the consumption in Oregon .wjil average four eggs per capita of population per week. Possibly the poultry industry is blind to its i Importance and opportunities. ' THE ELECTRIC HOUSE ' IS HOME OF COMFORT V (Continued from page 2.) 4 that is waiting to serve the whole western worm 11 me people will but have it so. x V Had Large Experience Mr Rartnn . la a frariiiAtA of Syracuse university, with a d& rr of electrical engineer ' He spent six years after his gradua tion in 1907. with the General Electric company. In various ca- - pacities. He was in cnarge or tha testinr of the. first 20.000 k. w. turbine generator buijt tor u h Now-York car lines: it was then the largest of its kind In the m world, though larger ones bare been built since.. He was in rliirm at the electrical testine Of the first horizontal steam turolne ever built. Later, he spent part of a year, with .tne teams (K..i rnal tr. iron comnanr nower ser- vice, with three large planta in his care." For a year he was en- gineer In charge or the New YorK . s, rtnoona Urht and Power com pany, with a large force of elec- trlcal and other .engineers under him. and he was the final anthor- ity in estimating and passing on 11 InatallatlonB: one of which was a. railroad, and another the build in of a subway service. . He test- v ed out the original electric arc service for the lighting service in . TVirtland. V In 1913, he came lo Salem, and has been In business continuous- Masonic building since 1914, Is an Authority Mr Barton is a decorator and an authority on electrical' instal lation and service. "In the mod- rn home, the electric lighting is one of the chief, sometimes the - only, real decorative effect," his interesting comment. , "The tlxturea ' should harmonise with the bouse, and one -could spoil the effect of the finest home by ill-chosen lighting equipment. I have sold installations as far east a New York from ' our Salem store, to people who appreciate an artistic and scientific lighting system: and they have gone well over Oregon." Mr. Barton is an artist in decorating, his painting and designing of fixtures being a delight in many a home. One seeds only to see some- of the beautifully designed globes, glass -harieii nd other fixtures in the Salem Electric windows, to real- lze inai oaiem uas a .run. at command. ; .; " Ilrautirul Inspirations Day and night, work day and holiday and Sunday, the Salem Electric windows 'have t appealed delightfully to every 'passer-by, as the exponent" of cleaner,' easier, more enjoyable ' housekeeping. There are no statistics .to prove it. but it would be a fair guess that ., hundreds of the girls and , boys from the high school and the uni versity, on their way-down town after finishing, their ; day's- stud- ies which include friendships and futures, as well as books, have f gathered the final inspiration for ' the home that endures.; through the delightful presentation of The Home Electrical" in these windows. "Maybe nobody knows exactly what electricity is, or what makes it go," says Mr. Barton, frankly, in talking of the mysterious juice that has worked such wonders in business and domestic life. "But no more, , perhaps, do we know how life comes to the horse that we drive; no man can reconstruct horse life from inert material. But we. have learned how to har ness it, how to drive it, how to doctor it, how to enjoy it. And that's enough to know." OF BROCCOLI IS LOOKING FINE If All Goes Well In Next Eight to Ten Weeks, a Fine Crop Expected A rrower from tiown near Don ald was in The Statesman office I a couple of days ago who reported that he has five acres of broccoli that gives every appearance now of nroducing a bumper crop. He was looking up the matter of find-; ing a market In case all goes we.i with his broccoli from wis time on. Another grower with five acres of broccoli, over Newberg way, re ports the same excellent prospects for a big yield. The same reports came from up around Independence, and from several other parts of the Salem district. . i Survey Next Week The field ! men of the Oregon Growers Cooperative association are still too busy with the apple crop to give any time to the broc coli acreage; but they will start over the field next week, to make a complete survey, so as to form an idea as to what the association will have to handle; how much and where.. They will endeavor to load the cars of broccoli at the most convenient points for the growers in each locality. The great bulk of the crop will have to go in. car lots, to the markets of the big eastern cities. For Members Only The Oregon Growers Coopera tive association will be able to handle only the broccoli of their members, or those who may be come members. Their association Is purely cooperative, and they would not be allowed, ainder the laws of this state, to find markets for people outside of their mem bership. However, they are offer ing to broccoli growers who ae not yet members of their associa tion a very liberal proposition to become members, on the acreage basis, and when they become mem bers they are entitled to partici pate in any other pool of produce which they handle. The broccoli will be handled in a pool, just like prunes or logan berries or any other crop of their membes. Prices May Not Be High ' It is too early to make reliable estimates, but it is possible that the returns to the growers of broccoli may not be as good as for the last crop, on account of the fact that consumers in the eastern cities are not as liberal In .their buying generally as they wera a while ago. But the United States- department of agriculture will co operate with the shippers of broc coli in handling the coming crop, and it will no doubt be gotten to market in better shape than here tofore, and, of course, the beet possible returns will be secured for the producers; and the mar kets may be aacn as to get them as good pices as were had for the 1921 crop. The Market is Getting Bet ter Now, and the Stocks ' Are Cleaning Up (Following is a news bulletin of current date by the Oregon Growers Cooperative association:) - The prune market, which has been quiet for several weeks, of fers a very promising outlook at the present time. Reports com ing from the east Indicate that buyers are breaking away from hand-to-mouth buying and are be ginning to take prunes in larger quantities. . i In California practically all of the large - sized prunes have been sold and almost no prunes larger than 50-60s are In the hands" of the California growers. As a con sequence Oregon holds nearly all of the large-sized prunes which remain unsold . ' AH of the Italian prunes small. er than .3 0-4 0s which were in the hands of the Oregon Growers' as sociation have been cleaned up and it Is expected that there will be an early clean-up of the stock on hand. ; - , : , Heavy shipments have been made from the association's stock. The manager of one of the larg est of. the association's prune packing plants ' announces that . a three day's run will finish packing all of the prunes in his district, and the work is progressing rap idly in all sections of the prune MOST OF LARGE PRIES I districts. . .. HIGH PRICES Pi FOR THE WI1ERS Blue Blooded Poultry Brings Fancy Figures at Dairy Show in England h There can be no question that a well-regulated poultry show not only stimulates sales, but that it also stiffens prices. At the re cent dairy show n England (sec ond only to the Crystal Palace bhow in London) the following approximate prices were realized for the winning specimens: The winning White Wyandotte breed ing pen is claimed for $300. The selling class light Sussex cockerel went to $105. Among the open classes the leading light Sussex cockerel went at $225; the Gold en Camplne cockerel, $55; White Wyandotte $75; Rhode Island pullet $75. The selling classes provided some bargains. The winning Rock cockerel reached $40 and the second Rock pullet $35; the White Wyandotte first, $50; second, $35; the third, $25. Among the Orpingtons, the sec ond buff pullet made $57.50; others $50, $30, $25. The third light Sussex cockerel went at $37.50; others at $30 and $25 eaeh. The medal-winning turkey reached $52.50, and the Modern Game Bantam, $65. Considering economic condi tions prevailing since the war, it must be said that the poultry fancy and commercial poultry breeding are getting back to nor mal: These prices average very well with those usually in evi dence at the New York. Boston and Chicago, and other big Amer ican poultry shows, for the blue ribbon birds. SAYS VEGETABLE I Their Business Is a Live Bus iness, and They Are Keep ing Up to Date "The vegetable business is a live business and has kept pro gress with the times," says H. T. Thompson, widely known eastern vegetable man writing in the "Market Growers' Journal." Any large markets of the country will show fancy products, well graded and packed and well sold. Look over the equipment of the farm for growing vegetables and you will see progresii modern seed drills, modern Irrigation equip ment, intelligent use of manure and commercial fertilizers, a mod ern propagating greenhouse for plants or a larger . range for growing a fall, winter and early spring garden under glass "The gardder, as a matter of fact, is thrown into daily contact with city business and city mar kets, more so than any other kind of farmers who perhaps on ly come in touch with the markets once in a great while, and there fore sense market conditions and partly regulate Ma operations ac cordingly because of this frequent contact. "The gardener, through the aid of experiment stations, has made progress in controlling in jurious insects, keeping in touch with the 'bug specialist' and fol lowing his methods. The farmer now better appreciates what this means in . economical production and also what is the cost of neg lect. "Hundreds of vegetable gard eners have made progress in mar keting their crop by better grad ing, more modern methods of har vesting and packing and by the use of motor vehicles. "These conditions of progress tell the world that the market grower is at the front. The vege table business is a live business." A TIN 11 OF OREGON APPLES They Are Leaving Portland This Week on Steamship Nebraska for England ; (Following is a bulletin under date of Nov. 19th from the pub licity department of the Oregon Growers y Cooperative associa tion:) .

ADVERTISE YOUR There Are Many Ways tq Appeal to the Public Taste and Appreciation There are those who assume that a publicity campaign exploit ing the wider use of poultry prod-: ucts in the human dietary means the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. If such an effort is to be conducted like the advertis ing campaigns for cereal breakfast foods and other proprietary arti cles, and the orange and raisin and almond and walnut and apple and other crops, more or less money is involved in the proposi tion; but choking cats to death with warm butter is not the only way of destroying felines. An enterprising poultry Breeder uses the slogan "Eat More Eggs Drink More- Milk Be More Healthy," on all his stationery, catalogues, egg case labels, etc. This is certainly inexpensive and at the same time more or less ef fective. Breeders might even gfi further and Issue four and eight page leaflets for envelope fillers extolling the nutritive value of eggs and poultry meat as human food. Create a wider market and production and prices will take care of themselves. One is some what surprised that the organized poultry industry does not take col lective action along these lines. Prisoners' Teeth Are Beveled Free of Cost There is one advantage of serv ing a term in the Oiegon peni tentiary, and that is of having dental work done . occasionally without charge This happens to come about from the fact that in taking ex aminations before the state den tal board, prospective dentists have a certain amount of practi cal work to do. It also happens that many in the penitentiary are more than willing to serve as subjects for the work of students about to be graduated. Yesterday 12 pros pective dentists were doing the practical work, having passed the exams for the theoretical work. ARREST SUSPECTS OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 29. Po lice tonight had arrested five per sons, including one girl, Alice Klahn, 25, in connection with the downtown daylight robbery of the Northwestern Clothing store here at 8:30 o'clock this morning. The officers tonight said they expect ed, to recover a part of the $4000 worth of jewelry "and $600 cash taken within a few hours. COMMITTEE IN 1HATI PORT ATJ PRINCE. Haiti, Nov. 29.

The great German fortress of Heligoland probably will be completely de molished by next April. Its de molition has been in progress for two years under the supervision of an inter-allied commission headed by Admiral Sir Edward Charlton, who is said to be sat isfied that the island fortress ean never again be a menace to the allies. ' When the work of destruction Is complete 'iE'wiir be Inspected by the commission and then the is land is to be handed back to Germany, under the provisions of the peace treaty. Ths commission have taken nothing for granted, but naval officers have watched the great guns cut to pieces and have de manded that the scrap metal be produced when the Germans re ported that they had destroyed cartridges, cases, fuses, etc. Be sides, they have personally in spected the burning of vost store3 of explosives. It is understood that Admiral Charlton is satis fied that very little in the way of warlike stores can have been con cealed by the Germans. The gun emplacements and harbor works have been destroyed and batteries of howitzers and aircraft guns demolished. To .make certain that Heligo land can not again be utilized as a site upon which to build a har bor for warships, the commis sion has placed blocks of stone and concrete about the bed of the harbor so that dredging will not be possible. Eventually it is be lieved the harbor will be destroy ed by the sea. "Come and watcn us while we wash our clothes," so runs a laun dry advertisement.
