TFHs falsi UKbbUll fUULIHY 5 Siniiip Some Suggestions onTeed ing, Etc., From College Y: Authority Successful t Oregon poultrymen help maintain high 1 production throughout the -winter by careful feeding of the layers, explains A. G. Lunn, head of the experiment station poultry department; ' 'Any sudden change In weather bendl tions is likely to . lower ' produe tlon. -"Unless the ' poTiltryman is observing, ,' he : will over feed at this time, since the appetite of the flock will not be so keen. "During -December - and Janu ary, especially "around the holiday season-,, cold snaps usually occur when,' it Is best either to" cut down materially on the morning feed or grain ' or to divide " it " into " three periods to keep the pullets active,' says Professor Lunn. "If they begin-to let up on, feed consump tion a moist mash a fed at noon to stimulate their appetite. Three pounds of mash' td each 100' birds or enough to last them about 10 minutes , is plenty; ' The mash is moistened by-adding buttermilk. "It la important that layers be glvenra regular-"supply of green ' feed, and as the kale is likely to be froen during this period, man gels, beets or carrots may be fedi These placed in the pen through out the early, winter season allow the birds -to -become "accustomed-to them." ' ' Very 'little -change is made in the feed itself from that used at other times of the year, according to Professor Lunn- Corn, having , slightly higher heat -valueV .may be increased In the scratch grain to advantage. -A higher av rage-production' has been maintained at the Oregon " experiment Btatton farm without any4 change In mash composition, however. It is "essential that ft constant supply -of -clean -water, grit, shell, charcoal, and cut bone Is kept be fore the fowls it all times. Many poultrymen 'change the water sev eral times a day during the cold spells'. ' THERE IS NO CHOICE; GREAT COMMERCIALLY (Continued from Page 10.) growth and development to that fruit. The Cory "Thorhless will also come under the same recom mendation, while the Ideal Wild will probably take a little less room - than- the others. Almost No Choice To anyone contemplating go ing into the blackberry business there is almost no choice except the Evergreen or Oregon black berry, unless the grower Is pro vided with a roadside market for handling limited' quantities of the earlier berries and the Himalaya in season. "He will be almost sure to have to confine himself to the Oregon blackberry. This berry Is practically the only one demanded by the 'eannerymen and 'their "demands' are what set the 'variety " adaptation" and need for this section. So long as most of our fruit must go to the can neries, we must necessarily plant of this variety. The other varie ties 'that we : have 'mentioned "will be grown only : in. very limited quantities and for special markets under special' conditions. .'They cannot be" generally grown or very widely distributed, due to the limited market as yet. If any greater markets " develop in the future it will be a relatively slow process and one for which a per son cannot "plan at r the present time. . , i j O. E. SCHUSTER.

MacDoicell Club Christmas Concert a Distinctive Affair of Last Week Salem has a" distinctive ringing body in the MacDowell club chorus which has been-welded into a com pact unit thromgh the skill of the conductor. Prof. W. H. Boyer. Last Friday the chorus gave a con cert or merit in conjunction' with Arthur Johnson, tenor, at "Waller Hall. The program opened with the Bemberg -."Matthews number, "Nymphs and Fauns," with Mrs. J: E. Fitzgerald singing the inci dental solo. Mrs. Fitzgerald, who is one of the club's newest mem bers, has a lovely lyric soprano voice. A' descriptive ' number, "The Walnut Tree." (Schumann Saar) followed, and after this "Serenade," (Strauss-Harris). Mr. Johnson demonstrated the excellence of his repertoire when he sang "Have Tou Seen But a Whyte Lily Grow," a composition larking back to the time of James; Hatton's "To Anthea," and "Ona- way, Awake Beloved, (Hiawa tha's Wedding Feast), by Samuel Taylor-Coleridge, for his first group. The chdrus rendition of the ever-beloved "O Sole Mio," was so appreciated the group repeated it. Mr. Johnson's second group was opened with the Vision aria, Act II from the very new opera, "A Witch of Salem," by Cadman. The scene 1 Salem, Mass., in the year 1692. Claris, betrothed to Arndld, has been falsely accused of witch craft, and Arnold, under the stress of superstition, has deserted her. His1 love t gives him no rest, how ever, and on the execution day we find him in the wood, the prey of conflicting visions. In the vision that is the- subject of this song, he finds strength to go to the sup port of Cralis, who eventually is saved by the confession of her false accusers. The opera will have its premier by the Chicago Civic Opera this season. "Come to the Fair" was one of Mr. Johnson's best received en cores, though he responded gener ously with others. May Van Dyke was the tenor's accompanist. A lovely chorus number was Drake's "Almond Blossom," while an unfailing favorite was "Silent Night, Holy Night." The Yon number, "Gesu Bambino." in the Christmas gtoup gave the audi ence opportunity to hear Mrs. Rpsecrans' particularly rich and particularly pleasing contralto voice in the incidental parts. The program rose to a high level and Chaminade's "The Sail or's Christmas" is conceded to have been the best of all. In this number by the chorus Mr. Johnson took the incidental solo. Miss Dorothy Pearce, with a skill that is invariably pleasing played all chorus accompaniments Unicers 01 the club this year are: rresiaent, Mrs. fnu New myer; vice president, Mrs. Charles E. Bates; secretary. Miss Vivian Whistler; treasurer, Mrs. H. C Findley; auditor, Miss Dorothy Pearce.

Spence, Oregon state market agent, for last week:) M. D. Armstrong, state special ist of the horticulture division of Pullman ' college of Washington state, warns farmers nbt to g5 too fast with the mint acreage of the Pacific coast. He says there are now more than A 0,000 acres of mint acreage in the TJ. S. and very many more thousands iof acres on which it can be success fully grown, and advises growers "not to become too enthusiastic about this crop-, as it is a very speculative business." The mar ket for mint oil is limited, it be ing used chiefly for flavoring con fections and in a few drugs, with no large commercial use. ORGANIZING INDUSTRY: THE WORK PROGRESSES (Continued from Page 10.) nected with the industry is inter ested in. One thing being a general con tribution to an advertising fund which will in some way to be de termined later advertise the Ital ian prune. 1 Also a working organization be tween the organized growers on one hand and an organization of the packers and distributors on the other hand, whereby distribu tion could be carried on with sta bilized price, -each packer and dis tributor disposing of all the prunes possible but all selling at the same price rather than making sales up on a cut price. Must Organize Further At the Dallas meeting about 100 of the prune growers who were already organized in some one of the present ten 'local units, nine of which are in Oregon and one in Clarke county. Wash.,' expressed entire satisfaction with their op erations so far as the returns were concerned compared with the un organized growers, bnt stated they could not, with only 20 to 25 per cent of the tonnage organized," either do any advertising of stabil ize the price. That it is necessary for the other growers now unor ganized, to in some way organize so they can all como together on' the main points," at least "the1 two having to do with advertising and stabilizing the price. . More than half of the unorgan ized growers present stated they believed it was necessary to have the growers organized; at last 85 pr cent, preferably 100, and that they were ready to join some one of the three forms of unit above mentioned with "the idea of carrying out the plan above sug gested. Decision Unanimous At this general growers meeting there was a special growers com mittee appointed in each county. and this special committee of growers met with a special com mittee of bankers, private pack ers and other business men repre senting the four prune elements interested in the success 1 of the prune industry as a whole. And such a meeting was" held in -each of the prune growing- counties" -of Oregon and Washington, the plan being explained in open meetings and discussed by those present and in this way the plan was brought to the special attention of a total over 400 prune' growers, about im bankers, all of the pri mam vate packers and distributors and a number of business men special- ly interested and it was unani mously decided ithat this organiri zation work should go forward and that all of these four factors would-assist. ' " ' - With the plan thus favorably approved, it is now being submit ted by the Portland Chamber's marketing department, together with the Oregon Agricultural mar keting department, to group meet ings of growers by Counties, and it has already been presented and approved by the growers in 'Wash ington, Yamhill, and Polk coun ties, with a special meeting held at Sheridan in Yamhill county, liring "Further Presented This week, on December 22nd, it will be presented to the prune growers of Benton coanty and on December 26th to the prune grow ers of Linn county and later to Marion and Douglas counties. Lane county is already more than 85 per cent organized. When the presentation of the plan in the different counties is complete fully 1500 prune grow ers will have heard the plan pre sented, and if it is generally ap proved, as has been the case' in thef counties where meetings have been held, it is the intention of all interested in the organization work to start holding regular sign ties, taking one county to begin up meetings in the different coun with, probably Yamhill, and go from county to county, provided each county as visited signs up in some kind of a local unit organiza tion 85 per cent of all the prune growers of the nine pruncr coun ties of Oregon and Washington fo be in some kind of a local organ ization so that It can come to gether into a central organization. Should any county fail to sign up 85 per-cent of their acreage the organization will stop work. The unit seems to be 'the one most generally approved by the now unorganized growers, and fully 90 per cent have expressed themselves as ready to join this kind of unit. The Tentative Contract A tentative contract ha3 been considered by the growers for this unit form and will be given later consideration by representatives of all counties at a central meet ing, at which time the local unit contract will be made up by the growers and then be put into printed form. It is expected to hold the first local unit meeting f6r' signing, at Sheridan sometime around January 10th. The principal thing in the local unit contract is that the grower pools his prunes with the other members of the local unit, what ever number of growers agree to join in that certain local unit. -The contract also provides that the local unit shall enter into an agreement with other cooperative prune associations and others in terested in marketing the prunes of the northwest, to put on a cam paign for advertising the prunes, and a certain amount per pound per annum is to be deducted from the prunes of all members, it be ing provided that in order that this may be effective, 85 per cent of the local units which will rep resent not less than 85 per cent of the industry, shall enter into this agreement. The contract has the other us ual legal cooperative provisions and allows a member to withdraw each year if he wishes, which real ly only makes the contract a year to' year contract, also provides that members may sell their prunes green and provides for proper grading and handling of prunes.

() THERE IS YET TIME TO HAVE ICENNELL-ELLIS Make Your Christmas" Photograplis iSniBOY Will Tour World With Mov ing Pictures Showing Flower Growth (Clark Irvine was born in Sa lem. His mother, whose maiden name was Adele PlamOndon, was born in Salem. His father was at one time manager of The States man. The following from- the Honolulu Daily Advertiser of De cember 6th will give the first news here of the latest wonderful discovery in moving pictures and Mr. Irvine's connection with-showing it to the whole world:) So impressed was he ' by the scientific and ecucational value and the unique beauty of the Pillsbury slow motion flower pic tures, that Clarke Irvine, native of Salem, closed a deal for the purchase of the films outright and is leaving the staff of The Adver tiser to take the films on a tour of the world, he announced yes terday. Irvine, who came to Honolulu last January from his home in Culver City, near Hollywood, does not mean to abandon Hawaii, but will return after the trip and next year may take out the Hawaiian films made recently by Pillsbury, which he ifc to tour the states with in 1927. For a number of years Irvine has been in newspaper and film work, and since 1924 has been living an outdoor life and doing hiking and speaking on health topics. He plans to go to An - tralia early next month, then t India, Africa, and Europe, return iug via Canada and the coast. Last July the writer made a trip to the mainland aboard John Bafrymore's yacht Mariner, with "Doc" Wilson, marine technician of the Hollywood studios, return ing aboard the Maui after the ex citing 16 day sail in which the vessel was storm ridden for sev eral days. The marvelous flower pictures are laid in the Yosemite valley, in which Irvine has hiked, and they show the many beautiful blossoms actually opening, the process ac tually occupying ' several days time, but on the screen it re quires only a few seconds. While here Pillsbury, who in vented the slowmotion camera, took some rather astonishing highly ' magnified microscopic films of the spider lily pollen, which is the first time that the actions of life force through pol len grains has ever been seen on the screen. This has attracted wide attention among scientists and botanists. The actions shows a tinytube being constructed from the single grain of pollen. It then extends itself toward the female element, the nucleus being visible revolving among the mass of pro toplasm, and descending the tube toward the ovary of the flower to the seed chamber, where it be comes the central force which is carried through winter for propa gation of the variety in spring. Before leaving Honolulu Irvine will add a number of Hawaiian scenes to the lecture film and then give a local showing, as many peo ple could not attend those that Pillsbury gave at the Princess theatre and elsewhere.
