Fruit Washing Method Now
Protected for Public by
Experiment Station.
Oregon State College. A public
service patent, which protects any
new invention or process from priv
ate exploitation, has just been re
ceived here for the fruit washing pro
cess developed by men of the Oregon
experiment station. The patent was
granted at the request of Henry
Hartman and R. H. Robinson, the two
station scientists who perfected the
simple solution of hydrochloric acid
and water which is now the standard
method of removing spray " residue
from apples and pears.
The patent grants to the citizens
of the United States for a term of
17 years the exclusive right to make
use and vend the invention Which is
set forth as "processes for the re
moval of residual poisons from and
the preservation of fruits."
Had this process not been thus pro
tected, any private concern could
have obtained a patent on it and ex
acted a royalty for its use, just as
was done by one firm last fall which
developed a more complicated method
of fruit cleaning. A royalty of 6
cents a box was , charged for its use.
The acid bath method developed by
the Oregon station three years ago
was used on about 93 per cent of the
Oregon crop last fall, or some 750,
000 boxes. The northwest as a whole
used it on better than 2,500,000 boxes
Even a minimum royalty of 1 cent
a box would mean a high annual tax
on all fruit growers, officials here
point out.
While at first the necessity was,
feared to be just one more hindrance
to the fruit industry, it is now wide
ly recognized as a benefit aside from
its primary object, worth all or more
than it costs through the bettered ap
pearance and keeping quality of fruit
so treated.
Tuberculosis Hospital Is
Opened At The Dalles
The Dalles. The new eastern Ore
gon tuberculosis hospital, just com
pleted at The Dalles, will receive it3
first contingent of 25 patients this
week. That number includes all of
the eastern Oregon patients at the
tuberculosis hospital in Salem that
are able to be transferred and wish
to make the change.
The new institution was opened for
public inspection by the board of con
trol on Saturday. Hundreds of per
sons visited and were shown through
the building Saturday afternoon and
Sunday by Dr. G. C. Bellinger, su
perintendent, and his staff of nurses.
The capacity of the new hospital
is 90 patients, but only the 25 trans
fers from Salem will be admitted at
present. Other patients from the east
ern Oregon waiting list will be admit
ted as soon as the hospital staff is
well enough organized to handle more
patients. -
The movement for the establish
ment of this hospital was stated in
1924; when a delegation from eastern
Oregon asked the co-operation of the
Oregon Tuberculosis association in
studying the tuberculosis situation
east of the Cascades.
The building was designed by Claus-
sen & Claussen, Portland architects,
and built by Tranche!! & Parelius,
Portland contractors. It contains all
modern conveniences for the care of
tuberculosis patients. It will care for
the entire waiting list from eastern
Oregon at present, with some beds
that can be used for western Oregon
patients who prefer to go there, ac
cording to Dr. Bellinger.
Hay Harvesting Equipment
Slips, sometimes used in hay har
vesting, have been found little or no
more efficient than wagons in a sur
vey of Oregon haying methods com
pleted by the experiment station.
The greater ease in loading is offset
by the smaller loads. The Mormon
type hay derrick was found the most
efficient for general use. Plans for
its construction are) included in a
published bulletin on the results of
the survey.
Crop Rotation
A crop rotation which includes more
than one legume may avoid difficulty
from long continued use of clover or
alfalfa. A few of the legumes found
suitable for various sections of Ore
gon, depending on the soil and clim
ate, are clover red, sweet, alsike
and ladino vetches of any sorts, soy
beans, white beans and field peas.
Extensive experiments have been con
ducted with all of these by the ex
periment station.
Mrs. M. M. Johns, Mrs. Flint Johns
and Mrs. F. B. Boyd visited in Wal

RE-SURVEY W LL NOT
May Occasion Brief Delay
On Sector of Weston
Elgin Highway.
Weston Leader: According to re
cent information received at Weston
from a source regarded as author
itative, the re-survey of part of the
McDougal-Tollgate sector of the
Weston-Elgin highway made at the
request of the Oregon Highway com
mission, will result in no material
delay in the work. In the event that
the new route is adopted, it is said
the new contract will be let not later
than July 15.
As renorted in last week's Leader,
J. A. Terteling & Son of -Moscow,
Idaho, receivmer the contract lor
grading the sector on the route first
adopted. They were preparing to De
gin operations when the new sur
vey was ordered.
,C, W. Avery of Weston, secretary
of the Blue Mountain Highway as
sociation, has been in correspondence
nf lata with J. W. Lanedon of Wal
la Walla, the association's president.
President Langdon expresses tne ut
most confidence, after conferring with
o-nvemment road officials that there
is nothing in the way of proceeding
with construction this year. Keports
to the effect that the work may be
held up indefinitely, he regards as un
founded.
There is unofficial information to
the effect that the McDougal-Toll-o-ot.A
HPrtor will not only be jrraded
this year, but will also be gravelled.
Other reports have it that a survey
beyond the Tollgate is planned, thus
strens'thenine the belief that the en
tire Weston-Elgin highway, as visu
alized bv the late A. Alexanaer,
road promoter of Walla Walla, will
ultimately materialize.
Truck Operators Would
Restrain State Load Act
Salem. Operators of motor trucks,
trailers and semi-trailers are threat
ening a suit to restrain the state from
enforcing an act of the 1929 legisla
ture which reduces the maximum
weight of combined vehicle and load
on Oregon highways.
Prior to the establishment of the
new regulation the maximum weight
allowed for a four-wheel truck and
trailer was 40,000 pounds or 20,000
pounds for each vehicle, and 44,000
pounds for a six-wheel truck and six
wheel trailer, or 22,000 pounds for
each.
Tlift new law. which became effect
ive .Time 4. reduces the maximum
weight for any combination of ve
hicles to 34,000 pounds.
A number of operators contend that
since, at the first of the year and be
fore the legislature met, they took
out their licenses on tire width basis
with the expectation of hauling the
loads heretofore allowed they are now
Koino- riprvrived nf a. nrivilesre for
which they paid. Several have violat
ed the new law and have been taicen
into court by the state traffic department.
Secretary of State Hoss asked an
opinion from Attorney General Van
Winkle who has replied that the state
has a right to enforce the new law
under the police power, since it is a
measure for the protection of high
ways. Not satisfied, the operators talk of
a test case in court. They take the
stand that because they have equip
ped themselves with vehicles capable
of carrying the heavier loads the law
is confiscatory.
f
Ranch Hand Fatally
Gored By Enraged Cow
C. A. Pasley, aged ranch hand who
has been employed on Umatilla coun
ty farms for a number of years was
fatally gored by an enraged cow on
the Kotnass ranch Northwest of Pen
dleton, Thursday evening last.
Pasely went into the barn to milk
the cow for the first time, another
ranch hand who regularly did the
milking being absent. A few minutes
later Mrs. Knotnass, who had pro
tested against Pasley attempting to
milk the cow, entered the barn and
found the aged man on the floor of
the stall dead.
Two jagged wounds, one above the
heart and another in the abdomen
showed where the horns of the cow
had penetrated when she gored the
man.
Pasley is known in Athena, having
worked for some time for John Pierce,
residing south of Athena, and also for
one of Pierce's sons, who resides on
Wild Horse mountain. It is said
Pasley has relatives in Washington,
and effort has been made to communi
cate with them.
