APPEAL TO PAKENTS IN

Officer of Social Hygiene So­

(Oregon Journal)
An appeal for help in making the
"Back to the Home” movement
a success was directed to parents
yesterday by William F. Woodward
chairman of the public education
committee of the Social Hygiene
society, that has the enterprise in
charge. Mr. Woodward said;
"Earnest, thoughtful parents,
upon whose shoulders rest the re­
sponsibility for what our growing
generation of boys and girls shall
be, may well unite in a common
cause, which shall have for its
object, the restoration or creation ot
those home interests ifor the child
which today in so many homes is
lacking— more through ignorance
than neglect.
"W hat does the average, present

flaKRiDK interest of the father, a
group of children will grow up and
forever look back with tender and
affectionate memories, to the days
when their homes meant so much
to them.
“ It is astonishing how little chil­
dren need to make them happy. I
have found that any discarded piece
of furniture, if given to children,
will be quickly utilized— their imag­
ination supplying every deficiency.
In fact, the conventional devices
in our public grounds may be otten
wholly ignored or replaced with a
made-up playhouse— old chairs, a
table and the like,

it. Beiug an apothecary, I may
perhaps be excused in touching up­
on substitution, which may often
be a real agency for good.

fro m Orchard to Table
Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis, Ore., July— Much fruit
is sold in the orchard at aboct a
dollar a box, and in the home of
consumers at three to five dollars a
box. It is not easy to say in all
cases just where the extra prices
are attached to the producers’ price,
but Dr. Hector Macpherson, pro­
fessor of Economics at Oregon A g ­
ricultural College, cites the follow­
ing cases where this has been suc­
cessfully done.
Growers of Wenatchee Valley re­
ceived $1 45 per box for extra fan­
cy Jonathan’s, and consumers in
Chicago paid for the same fruft
$8.00 per box. The difference, $6 55
was distributed 10 cents to Growers’
Association, 50 cents to railroad
company, $2.00 to wholesaler, and
$3.50 to retailer.
Baldwin apples grown in Massa­
chusetts brought the producers
$2.25 per barrel, and cost consum­
ers in Boston $7.50 per barrel. The
difference, $5 25, was distributed
25 cents to pickers, 25 cents tor
barrel, 25 cents for freight, 25 cents
for commission, 15 cents for sort­
ing, ib cents for carting, $2.00 to
wholesaler, and $1 50 to retailer.
Oranges that netted Calitornia
growers $1.07 per box cost consum­
ers in New England $3 00 per box.
The difference, $1 93, was distribut­
ed 40 cents to packers and sellers,
93 cents to cooling and shipping,
and 60 cents to retailer.
Only in the case of the oranges
did the grower receive much more
than either ot the two selling firms,
and in case of western apples he re­
ceived less than the wholesaler and
less than half as much as the retail­
er, notwithstanding his heavy in­
vestment and year’s labor. The
oranges were produced and sold
under effective organization condi­
tions.
Sour Skim Milk for Calves
That in summer time calves do
as well on sour skim milk as they
do on sweet will be interesting news
to many farmers who have hitherto
been kept from raising calves by
the expense of keeping the milk
sweet in hot weather. This ex­
pense experiments carried out by
the department indicate to be quite
unnecessary. The calves will make
as rapid gains on sour skim milk.
In winter, it is true, this is not
quite so satisfactory. It chills the
calves and some of them drink it
with great reluctance. Very young
calves have been known to refuse it
altogether. On the other hand, of
course, it is ranch easier to keep
the milk sweet in winter.
In calling the attention of the
farmers to these facts, however, the
department at the same time empha­
sizes an important precaution. Un­
less the milk is produced and kept
under cleanly conditions, it may
become contaminated with disease-
producing bacteria. Farmers should
therefore allow the milk to sour
quickly and then feed it without
delay.
In the course of these experi­
ments sour skim milk was fed to 22
calves, Holsteins, Jerseys, a n d
Guernseys, at different seasons of
the year. In no case did it cause
digestive disturbances even when
the change from sweet to sour milk
was made abruptly when the calves
were only a few days old. More­
over, no evil results followed the
alternate use of sweet and sour. It
seems, therefore, that the common
idea that sour milk leads to scours
is quite unfounded.
The calves, it was found, did not
like the sour milk as well as the
sweet, but in the majority of cases
soon became accustomed to it. The
aversion, however, increased when
the milk was fed them at a low tem­
perature.
Pupils Furnish Furniture
All furniture for the Utah state
building at San Diego, will E>e made
by the puplis of the state’s manual
training schools. Contests have
been instituted in the schools and
the prize specimens will furnish the
different halls of the building. At
the end of 1915 they will be sent
back to the schools that supplied
them, as trophies.
