THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 1922 it 4 i $ t i i v ( phi KEEPERS E They Should Have Good Prices for Stock When They' Produce It frhe following are some cur rent and seasonable observations of ; Henry W. Kruckenberg of Los Anele, one of the leading writ-, ers of the country on poultry sud-i Jeets: We sometimes wonder If the average poultry breeder really possesses an intelligent knowledge of his costs' For after all. the operations on an average poultry plant are so varied and miscellan eous the the question of accurate costs is often more or less specu lative in character. . The detail of labor is not always accounted for the poultry breeder failing to figure a reasonable wage for himself and other members of his family circle who may contribute to the management of big fowls. Interest on investment, wear and tear on buildings and improvement,- Insurance ; and taxes, shrinkage and losses, are all fac tors that should be considered in computing the costs of his live stock and their products . And unless this Is allowed for he is apt to sell his market poultry and breeding stork for too low a price rather than - at commensurate profits. The cost of feeding pul lets under a system that will real ly cover outlay will often be as great as the return Rome breed era get for their birds. If the stock , comes from a good laying strain it should command a prem ium above the ordinary ruling prices. The same applies to hatching eggs and day-old chicks and also to commercial hen fruit. To be' sure, the latter is often sub ject to onerous conditions when the grower cannot command what he might be entitled to; but in too case of breeding and laying females, we are quite of the opin ion that the average price is too low rather than too high. The poultry farmer, like the city mer chant, and banker, is worthy ot his price. Prices are more or less an elas tic subject governed by local con d.tions and environment. Quality f nd service are not cheap factors in any business, and least of all in poultry farming. Good stock should (and usually does) com mand profitable prices. When it comes to foundation and breeding-stock and exhibition birds, the matter of price assumes a still greater Importance. Since the flock Is not composed of all good specimens tor reproductive and : exhibition birds, those that do "measure up" should command a price in keeping with their quality. Good bmeding, speci- mens of recognized' strains are worth money. Hens of . quality rhould never be sold for less than 13 each and up; cocks at 15 and up. These are minimum prices As a matter of fact, females from the yards ot prominent breeders and exhibitors bring much higher flguites. It is becoming quite com mon for birds of both sexes, with a high productive ancestry, to command ae much money as exht bition birds at leading poultry shows. And it is right that they should, for stock of .this kind is usually the result of years of breeding, and besides possesses a value peculiarly its own. Since the season for the sale of day-old chicks and the growing of stock, to maintain flocks is now n bout in full swing, it is opportune to caution buyers to insist on good birds from recognlaad blood lines with record performances behind them; such birds are In no sense "cheap." are an economic invest merit at prices that may appear ."high," as compared to others of fered for less money. It is also a period for breeders to consider their costs in the production of chicks and young stock, and to command a corresponding price for their product. It is about time that poultry farmers (at ' IahoI via rt thorn ' f0fl ed to PROFITS Y operate for just a mere existence till and often at a lose. Yea, verily! I l . u- : WILL HAVE A NEW J 1 1 hit it nin it Trje Oregon Growers Prepar- ing for Larger Business !: :n Yamhill City Following Is a news bulletin or the Oregon "Growers Cooperative association. Issued from the Salem office of the association on Tues day, the 21st: The Oregon Growers' Coopera tive association has purchased tne lot and buildings in Newberg own ed by the White Sox Orchard com nan v. and formerly used as a sash and door factory. The lot is 200 bv 150 feet fronting on Main street, which is paved. There are three buildings on the lot. two of which are constructed of c ment blocks. The main building is 40 bv 60 feet two stories r.'gh and equipped with an electric ele vator., An office building is lo cated adjacent to the main build ing. There ia also a Urge shed ot. wooden construction locate on the lot which is suitable for m i. - ; ' f f apple packing. The main build ing Is favorably connected with the main line of. the Southern Pa cific company by a spur which will acommodate two cars. The plant will be given over to the handling of the f ruit m the Newberg district. The association has a membership of 157. nearly double that of December la.t. With the increased membership and with the resulting increase lu acreage It is expected that there will be a great increase in tonnage this year. The association last season cared for 125 tons of ber ries, mostly Logans and black caps; 100 tons ot cherries, mostly Royal Ann; 230 tons of prunes, several cars of apples, and several tons each of pears and walnuts. Frank Perkett, L. L. Herscli berger and G. Q. Stryker, were elected as a local advisory com mittee by members of the Oregon Growers Cooperative association in the Hubbard district at a meet- ng on February 9th. O. F. Fentress, G. F. Pottratz. and John Davis were elected as a local advisory committee bv Ore gon Growers Cooperative associa tion members in the Canby dis trict at a meeting February 11th. Crop of Members of Grow ers Association Will Be Laler Than Usual The field men of the Oregon Growers Cooperative association are busy in the broccoli fields ot their members in this district, making inspections and getting ready for the packing and hand ling of the forthcoming crop. . All of these men were out of the Salem headquarters office of the association yesterday after noon; but one of them told the reporter on Tuesday evening that it is even yet impossible to esti mate the extent of the damage to the crop from the three winter freezing speils of a few weeks ago. He said, however, that the ma turing of the part of the crop that will be in good condition for shipping will be somewhat later than in average years, that no shipments will likely be made i-t the crops of their, members before the 15th of March. TRIBUTES PtO TO Salem Knights of Columbus Hear Addresses at Lodge Gathering The Knights of Columbus held an open meeting last night In their hall on State street, where a large crowd assembled to com memorate in a fitting manner the birthday of George Washington. Three very able addresses were delivered, Rsv. L. A. Derouin eulogizing in a most eloquent manner the illustrious patriot whose genius, courage and devo tion to principle succeeded in establishing this as a nation of freedom and liberty; Thomas Brown giving a finished histori cal account ot the causes which led to the revolution, of the glori ous victories won by Washington and his compatriots from the British, and of the necess'ty which now exists for keeping tho histories in the schools pure and truthful in their accounts of the events of those days, and for eliminating the propaganda which has been Introduced lately, be littling the leaders ot the revo lution, slurring the work of Am erican generals and statesmen, and otherwise polluting what should be the pure source of Am erican pride and patriotism. Frank Davey delivered a talt on the necessity of being true to the principles of liberty, equality and Justice which actuated George Washington and dictated the for mation of the national constitu tion, as it is only by bo doing that the memory of Washington can be properly honored. Interspersed with the talks, the ... . A 1 . 1 l. A 1 songs " America, toiumoia, me Gem of tins Ocean, and Star Spangled Banner" were charm ingly rendered by a male quar tet. Following the program, a generous luncheon was served. RICKEY XEWS The school will give a basket social Friday evening. Feb., 24. Miss Lettie Wallace of Salem. spent the week-end with her par ents.

ABOUT w ran ROMA ACCIDENT CHANGES PLANS Non-Explosive Helium Here - after to Be Used in Na tion's Gas Ships EXPERIMENT GOES ON Disaster Not to Stop Invent ive Development, Says Stement NEW YORK, Feb. 22. In tho future, helium, a non-explosive gas, no doubt will be used for air ships inste&u of dangerous hydro gen, said a statement issued to night by the Aeronautic of Cham ber of Commerce of America. It added that the Ttoma disaster "should be regarded the same as an accident In a laboratory." The chamber asserted that de-! velopment of the airplane must be pressed, despite the di.-.aster. PnrcTiaM- Defended "Th loss of the Roma should not be regarded as a reflection on the operating personnel or the judgment of the war department in having purchased it from Italy," said the statement. "It wa fie obvious thine to do. because we have not developed lighter than air craft in this country to the extent that other governments have developed it with public funds. "The potentiality of the airship ia such that it is bound to be de veloped despite an accident of a series of acridents. It is so im portant, and its promise is so far reaching in transportation and naval defense that it must con tinue. Caution Is Rule "We do not abandon our labo ratories, mines, railroads or steamships when accident befalls them. The accident to the Roma may indicate our future course of proceduie. "There me now several impor tant airship projects in the Unitsd States. They are being developed with all possible care. We are ad vised today that they will not be abandoned. Onr airships will be built in this country and our per sonnel organized and trained in their construction from the draft ing board to the navigation of the finished product. Controls Suspected XORFOLK. Va.. Feb. 22. A statement by Major General Ma son M. Patrick, head of the army air service that he believed the destruction of the airship Roma was due to an accident to the con trols regulating the altitude of the craft, stood out tonight as the only official statement from any of those investigating the acci dent which yesterday caused the death of 34 persons, the injury of eight others and the demolition of the world's largest semi-rigid airship. , Meanwhile tonight, the army investigation board called into Fession today, continued its ses sions behind closed doors. None of the proceedings could be learn ed. Testimony Is Rais General Patrick expressed his opinion on the basis of testimony he had heard thus far and sub stantiated statements previously made unofficially by survivors, that the elevating rudder, a con trivance resembling the wings of an airplane and attached to thff stern of the Roma buckled and f11 forward, forcing the Craft in to a nose dive which ended when she crashed Into a high power electric transmission line, caught fire and burned with the great number of her crew and passen gers pinned beneath. It was reiterated by army offi cers that there was no explosion or fire while the Roma was in the air. General Patrick, who came here by airplane from Washing ton immediately upon being ad vised of the accident, declared there had lnen none. Rudder Gives Way Army officers also emphasized that the rudder had given way and that the fire did not occur un til the ship struck the electri wires. Just how long the official in vestigation will require, was not indicated tonight, although every effort will be made to complete it as quickly as consistent with a thorough probe of the entire situ ation. Five of the -eleven injured men who were first taken to the pub lic health service hospital, have now been found strong enoueh to be removed to Iangley Field. Thev are Major J. D. Reardon. Captain Walter J. Reed, Lieuten ant C. H. Welch. Serjeant Bieden vach and Corporal Flores. Morgue House Dead A small morgue in Newport News housed the dead. SO of whom had been identified tonight: None were allowed to see them except fir identification, but wives, mothers and s wectheart3 gathered about and a crowd was in evidence all day. The bodies were badly burned and identifi cation in many cases was mane oy watches or articles of jewelry re covered with them.

Kuser Introduced Bill Hacy. undertaker, and member of the McMinnville club, in a short address, told numerous anecdotes on Salem and McMinn ville members. William L. Kuser a recent arrival in Salem, express ed his gratification at being abl? to claim Oregon for his home, hav ing come from Iowa. He is e new training school superintend ent. Tom Parsons, secretary of the McMinnville club, expressed his pleasure at meeting so many Rotarians and recited a poem to prove it. Jack Bayles. president of the Portland Rotary club, delivered an interesting talk of special in terest to new members. 'It is not what one can get out of Rotary, but what one can tv; Rotary." Mr. Bayles declared-; "The real underlying principle oi Rotary is profit through service. ' Association Valuable "You do not joinTlotary as you would other organizations by pay irig dues and becoming a mem ber." Mr. Bayles explained, "but a man becomes a Rotarian, tirst through his occupation or classifi cation, and then by his selection bp the club. ' Hence to become Rotarian, it is an honor to be ap preciated." One of the great benefits of Ro tary, is that of coming in contict with men of other occupations. Mr. Bayles claimed. As to the general moral standards of Ro tary Mr. Bayes said that he did not believe a man could be one thing in Rotary and anortier in his private life. Chautauqua Man Heard J. R. Kllison of Portland. Of the Ellison-White Chautauqua who at tended the banquet, was compli mented on the class of lecturers he has brought into the west. Senator I. L. Patterson wa3 the new member to be presented and upon being asked by what famil iar name he preferred being ad dressed said, "Just' call me Ike Patterson." Senator Charles Hall of Marsh; field, candidate for governor, was a guest of honor at the speaker's table. He said that Marshfield was about ready to organiza a Rotary club. Musicians Are Guest The banquet tendered the Mc Minnville and Portland Rotarians was in many respects one of the most elaborate occasions of the season. As all agreed, the new banquet room is a real beauty and the hotel management outdid it self In serving the dinner. Guests of the evening were Gideon Hicks, basso, and Mrs. Ger trude Huntley Green, pianiste, who appeared with the Apoilo club last night. Also John R. Sites, director, Albert H.

FINANCING BONUS DISCUSSED IN HOUSE (Continued from page 1) vote separately on that tax. Opponent Tighten IJiMs,r A separate vote has been da rnanded by opponents of a sales tax who continued today to tight en their lines for the fight which now i regarded on all tides as almost certain. Opponents said that if necessary, there would be a fight all along the line from the ways and means committee to The pary conference, then to the rules committee and finally to the house. They did not think the fight would last that lonp but continued to circulate petitions among house members. LEADERS MAY SEEK ADVICE OF HARDING (Continued from page 1) were favorably disposed toward the blanket reservations. Pitt man Talks Today While the committee continues its deliberations on the four-power pact today, the senate began debate on the separate treaty be tween the United States and Ja pan relating to Yap and other for mer German islands of the Pa cific, Mr. Lodge explained the treaty at elnth, characteriing it as securing all the rights the United States ever desired in the former German possessions. Sen ator France, Republican, Mary land, attacked it as a repudiation of the Republican platform pled ges anad a part of a "league of nations plan," which would lay the foundation for a new world war. Tomorrow Senator Pittman. Democrat of Nevada, is to addresa ithe senate, taking exception to isome of the treaty provisions. NO ELECTIONIN ERIN FOR 3 MONTHS (Continued from page 1) members, it Is believed the army will obev the hieh command of which Richard Mulcahey, minis ter of defen&e in the provisional government, is the head. Mulcahey Influential Mr. Mulcahey has declared that although he was a supporter of the treaty, he would maintain the array as a Republican body, and it was he who was mainly instrumental in bringing about today's peace agreement. How serious the position had become regarding the army was evidenced within the last day or two by announcements in news papers from certain brigades in Tipperary and Limerick, pronounc ing against the' treaty, declaring the free state government inim ical to the established republic and repudiating allegiance to the present Dail Eireann. Commons Iuzzlcd LONDON. Feb. 22. In tho lob bies of the house of commons to- nieht the adjournment ot the Ard Fheis at Dublin was regarded as nuzzling and caused anxiety. It completely upsets the time table of Irish events outlined recently by Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for the colonies, when he laid stress on the importance of an early election, enabling the moderates to make their influence felt in Ireland . Many members of the house felt that prolongation of the present conditions will not improve re lations between Ulster and bouts Ireland. SILVERT0N NEWS SILVERTON. Ore.. Feb. 22.
