While 40 oer cent of the entire national produc tion of eggB is produced in the corn belt states. 12 per cent of tbe ergs consumed last Tear on the New York market were Oregon eggs. New York consumes 52 car loads of fresh eggs a day which is equivalent to 66.009,000 dozen. Pour years ago there was not a Pacific coast egg to be found on the eastern markets." According to Mr. Tjpson the average price received by' mem bers of his association last year wa3 32 cents, while the actual cost taking into consideration all expenditures, of producing a doz en eggs in Oregon was 17 cents. Attracting Wide Attention Oregon as a poultry state is now attracting wide attention. The next meeting of the American Association of Poultry Instructors and Investigators of Poultry Hus bandry is to be held July 25 to 28 at Corvallis, where the members will be gue3ts of the Oregon Agri cultural college. ? " Following mis, mere is to be held at Corvallis a state wide poultry convention, on Ahgust 1, 2 and 3. at which Dr. J. R. Beach, who has done so much for the poultrymen of California' with his disease investigations,' will be no of tbp speakers and Instructors, aa vill hUo James S. Rice of Cornell. who has .been prhapi the greatest leader in poultry work tit .the, country. A. O. Lunn. professor of poultry husbandry at the Oregon Agrlcultrual college, . hopes to make the state wide poultry con vention at Corvallis an annual event; at the time when poultry- men can get away for a few day, around the first of August. There are to be no fees of any kind at this first state wide convention. California leaders in the poul try Industry are taking note of the boom in poultry industry up this way,, and of the fine work r the Oregon Agricultural collern in this field, and they are going to attempt to get some of th big men In the poultry world to ston over In that stat after taey fln- isn tneir work at Corvallis.

Triff Duty Will Help - ' The tariff duty of 8 cents a dozen, carried in the bill now be ing considered in the United States senate, will help the poul try industry of Oregon. It will as sure the breeders here that they wlll.be protected against ruinous foreign competition in ih markets. The rates on other poul try pioducts are also satisfactory and calculated to give ample pro tection to American poultry breeders.

The canning season for Salem Is open. It will open wider, each suc ceeding day, and it will run till away up towards the first of Janu ary; and the dehydration of ap ples will continue till the middle of next January or later. Two of the six big Salem can neries will be running on goose berries and strawberries today. The Hunt Bros. Packing company started up in a small way yester day morning, and their operations wfll grow from day to day. The Oregon Packing company will start on Gooseberries and straw berries today. x An announced yesterday morn ing,' the Oregon Growers cannery commenced putting strawberries in. .barrels the first of the week, and they will be ready to open up their new canning plant on Mon day next. The four other canneries will all be ready for business on' Mon day, and the dehydration plant will be ready for loganberries by the first of July, with a capacity three times as large as last year, outside of their cannery unit.

I. Lewis, who was for sev eral years connected with the Oregon Agricultural college and afterwards helped to organize the Oregon Growers Cooperative as sociation, with which be was con nected as one of the principal of ficers until . recently, as most readers know, has gone to Ch'ca go, where he is connected as mag aging editor with the American Fruit Grower" Magazine. The first and leading article , in the June number of the magazine was written by Mr. Lewis, under tbe above heading, and featuring the statement in the sub-heading above. The body of this first ar ticle in his new position by Mr. Lewis follows, and is timely and worth while reading for anyone interested in the fruit Industry, or any thing else:) it you were to visit "a large train shed or wholesale warehoure filled with boxes or barrels, of small apples, the appropriate sign to hang1 thereon would be "Not Wanted." The American people have been pretty well sold to the Wei of the big. red apple. The west has made a feature of pro ducing big red -apples and pack ing them in boxes, but th!s year an unusually large percentage of the crop ran to 5 tier fruit--rthat Is, 175 or more specimens of fruit to a barrel. Some shipping points run as high as 75 jr cent while others run as low as 20 per c-it, but good average would proba bly. be 49 per cent of the entire crop. . There is a wide difference in rrlce piid for large apples as cota rare'J with that pa! 1 for E!f.a!l ap to start on gooseberries and strawberries today; and they will be going strong by tomorrow. The canneries at Falls City. Dallas and other points in this district are getting tuned up for a big season's run. Prices and" Outlook The market for fresh strawber ries for the retail trade was away off yesterday, all over this section. But that does not affect the con tract or canning and barreling market. The prices for these pur poses are 5 to 5 3-4 cents, with perhaps a few csfses of (5 cents for Etterburgs of the finest types. The gooseberry crop is going to be fair this year. The picking so far is on the low lands. On the high lands and elsewhere. It, will be general next week. The prices being paid are around 5 to 5 1-2 cents a pound, and In some cases as high as 6 cents. Copious showers, right now, would go far toward making this a profitable strawberry season for the Salem section. Well timed rains would add many thousands of dollars to the bank rolls of the growers here. And in fact there aTe few producers of any kind who are not hoping for seasonable showers. F'PLE 1DIUSE PROFITS .WRITES C. E BROWEB IVUGAZINE ples. Let as. take the pries paid on the auction marset th's year In New York City. We checked on 10 cars and found that the av erage price paid for 3 1-2 tier containing from 64 to 88 apples to the box, was For 4 tier containing from 96 to 125 apples per box $2.27. For 4 1-2 t'er containing 138 to if-3 api-Ies to the box $2.15. For 5 tier con taining 175 to 225 apples to the box $1.90. Then, there was a dif ferential of 37 cent between Z and 4 tier an additional 25 centi between 4 tie and 4 'A tier an additional 25 centg between 4 tier and the 5. tier. This made a grand total of 74 cents; In favor of the linger size apples. ' t ' . Size of Crop and Apples The crop of the Pacific North west amounted to A 1.060 ears, 4 or aproximately '(based on a stand ard car of 756 boxes a total of better than 23,000,000 boxes. Ac- J-cording to our flgws about 14. 000t000 boxes were 5 tier apples. - If we were conservative and al low only 25 cents difference be tween, the big apples and the small ones we would find that $5,000,000 was lost this year In the Pacific Northwest in trowing these apples. Ordinarily, a buy er will take about 10 per cent of a ear In 5 tier apple but he op Jects to any more thin that.' The five million dollar ltws - would have .bought 10.000 small spray rigs. 500O large sprayers SOOU medium - price . automobiles 1000 flne packing and storage bouses 500 V ood community packing plants and 109 large cold storage plants. This, money, would ' . - . - Way taflet Witt Wmm Trnkte also have built more told storage facilit'es than can be found In any one valley In . the Pacific west. , t We must not think, however, that the west Is the principal ec t'on of the country where small apples are grown, because, every thing being equal, the east seems to grow even a larger percentage., if one can judge In visiting the markets. With the. large crop n sight this yean it would look. as if it were an ideal time for us to take into account what conditions produce small apples, There are many factors such as the weather through the previous season the amount of .soil moisture, especial ly in the late summer and fall the length of the growing season the ! soil fertilitylnsufflctent pruning and-last of all, and pro biMy the greatest factor is---not doing enough thinning. The cost is not a sufficient excuse for ner: lectins the thinning. An Oregon orchard of 20 acres, producing this year 6,864 packed boxes of apples, had a thinning cost ot $374.37, or an average of - 6 cents a packed box, The thinning of the Wenatchee ' valley . will range from. 2 cents to 8 cents per box, depending on conditions probably 5. cents would be a fair average and this Is probably a very ; fair average for the entire Pacific northwest. When one thinks of the tremendous gain In value, it Is easily seen to be a pay ing Jnvestment.y . ! Th'nning can bo done In two ways by pruning Off some of the wood and by hand thinning.. ; Thinning will increase the size of the fruit and reduce the per centage of culls which means an increasing percentage . of tn money making grades. It will conserve the vigor of the tree and tend to make It an. annual bearer. It will also help. to. control pests and disease Ynd reduce the wind falls an id there seems to be no llss In the ultimate quantity ot fruit through thinning. The num ber of boxes or barrels produced would be about the same, and the difference would be in the size of the specimens. Thinning should be done as soon as the June drop is over. The sooner the fruit can be removed after, that date, the more' you will conserve the ener gies of the tree, ' c The small 'sized apples like the Jonathan, Winesap and Grimes, nced-very heavy thinning. They say eight inches is the proper dis tance between specimens but - In some Instances with - very heavy crops, on the trees of. questionable vigor, this would. be leaving the fruit too close, together. As the Winesap and Jonathan get older, they tend to produce smaller fruit and It Is, absolutely essential to give vigorous thinning If size is to be maintained. The Rome is demanded in large sice. It Is a nice baking . apple and . hotels and restaurants demand them large so generous thinning .must be given this variety. Some of the orchardists In Idaho are find ing that where good thinning Is given tbe Rome apple, it tends to become an annual bearer. The King is a yariety that must not be given heavy thinning as It tends to produce overgrown spec linens and has an inclination to water core. Excessive thinning aggravates this condition. The Baldwin and Spitz tend to bear" every other yar and during the heavy years , can be given7 a very generous thinning or the fruit will be small. The Spitz is a much lighter bearer than the Baldwin and consequently, is not given s heavy thinning. The Ben Davis and Black Ben need to have plenty of color to sell well and they have, a habit of bearing: their fruit in clusters quite often shaded by the leaves They rhonld be ' thinned down with a light .crop two to a clus ter and where the crop is heavy, should be thinned to' about seven inches apart.' " ' -V Thinnvtng Must tie Generous The Yellow Newton will often set five specimens of fruit to ciusier. i ney must nave very generous thinning..

" The bearing, habit of the Delicious Is to pro duce on short apura Aw:th, from one to three apples in a place. - ; Thl3 variety should be thinned down so that with a heavy load, '. only one apple is left to the spur. . In thinning apples, remember , that the small apple, the malform- ' ed apple, the runt, apple that yon find In June will occupy the same relative position to 1 the rest of the fruit in the fall, so It goes without saying that you should leave the finest specimens. ' Space does not allow ns to go into the question ' of thinning peaches: and pears, thoroughly, but .these fruits need Just as gen erous thinning as the apple. This , Is especially, true of the peach. Without heavy thinning, large fruits cannot be produced. Where cherry trees tend to produce fruit which Is too small, the best rem edy seems to he to give a little more pruning to reduce the am ount of, bearing. TIIE IIS THAT ABE DM New Discovery That Sun shine for Poultry Is Food, , as Well as Medicine All poultry authorities '. dwell upon the Importance of pure air and a superabundance ot sunshine ever the actinic etaolthrdlushrd . In the poultry houses for where ever the actinic rays of the sun hit directljr there Is a, lessening of disease germs. .Suntklne Is. in deed, a great purifier and, has an importance In the maintenance of health in fowl, life; thals equally as important as fure' water and wholesome feeding. This has long been admitted by advanced and experienced breeders. Saoshlne IUted As Food Now, however, comes the Mi en title''' Investigators . and . - an nounce that sunshine is not only Insurance against disease, but that it , can also be rated as a food. This phase of the subject Is in teresting : even though somewhat intricate. According to a writer In the London Feathered World, there have, been published the re sults of scientific4 investigations made both in that country and America. on the Influence of sun light In prevention and cure of certain diseases. In England! , committee of the Medical Re search council, under the chair manship of of Prof. W. M. Bay if Be has been so engaged, and in this country Dr. -A. F. Hess ot Colum bia nnlverslty, Neir York, with hit coadjutors, has ondertaken slmQar investigations. Further Dr.' Sonne of Copenhagen has dis covered, that there -Is a most Im portant. Influence Exerted by sun light upon the blood. In addition in the observations by Dr. Sonne. Investigators "iiave - found that sunlight is the equivalent of food. By a long series of experlmenU upon the lower' animals and oh-, serrations on human Inrantc, they have known that sunlight can pre vent or cure rickets even where the diet Is such as otherwise in variably produces the disease; and, further, "those authors un Indicate a measurable equivaleuce between certain, doses of codliver oil in their influence on nutrition, and for the first time they have demonstrated a chemical ' (ss'dis tlngulshed from a ; merely, caloric or heating), action of sunlight in the blood, in terms of tbe blood ' content -of bhOsphorus,- which most markedly increased by n light." -:,.::.;;: r..
