Cooperative Wool Grow ers Distribute $200,000 The Pacific Cooperative Wool Grow ers in January distributed wool pay ments amounting to $200,000 to twelve hundred Western Oregon wool grow ers. In December, the association distributed $$0,000 to wool growers residing in Idaho. Washington, and Eastern Oregon. In November it sent out $44,000 to some four hundred growers representing sales of its graded mohair. There will still be another substantial payment before the entire 1922 pool is finally closed. These wools are graded, some being scoured, by the association, and mar keted in an orderly manner through out the year. As a result member growers will receive several cents per pound more than was obtainable for mixed, ungraded wools at shearing time. This margin ranges from three to twelve cents per pound depending npon the grade of wool. The Pacific Cooperative Wool Grow ers sold wool for the highest price west of Ohio in 1922, when one car load of Southern Oregon fine, half, and three eights sold for 61, 52 and 62H cents per pound respectively. On the finer and medium grades the association average prices established new high points for Oregon wools in 1922. Over half a million pounds of wool were sold at these prices. Growers of good wool received sub stantially more through the associa tion's grading process, as the wool soid on its merits, for actual value. Wool manufacturers and wool grow ers believe the educational value of grading and marketing the clip in the best known merchanable condition, as carried on by the association is worth thousands of dollars to the wool industry of the Northwest, The association, whose headquarters is in Portland, represents 22iK wool grow ers residnig in Oregon. Washington, Idaho and northern California. STRAYED From my pasture about Jan. 20th, one bay mare, age 8 years, weight about 12u0; mane was reach ed last Sept. Branded circle 3 on left shoulder.

A heating manure pile is capable of giving off a high temperature, up to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. This manure when put below six inches of soil will warm the soil as well as the atmosphere of the bed covered with a glass sash. Not less than 8 inches of manure should be used. The manure must not be wet when put in the pit, but evenly fermenting after several days forking over to make the heating uniform. Complete directions for making such a bed are obtainable free of charge in circular form from the O. A. C. Extension service, CorvaUis, Oregon. In such a seed bed would be sown head lettuce, cabbage, cauli flower, and tomatoes. Each of these vegetables is handled in a definite way so that a large vigorous seedling may be grown to set in the field or home garden. Cooked Food Sale, at Humphreys ! Drug Store on Saturday next.

Station) An incubator should be run for several days and correct adjustments made before eggs are put in. The temperature should be held at ap proximately 102 degrees F. through out the first week of incubation. The temperatures for running the incu bator as given out by the manufac turer of the machine should be fol lowed carefully, as in all tests this has been found to be the most satis factory condition. It costs no more to keep a good bull than it does a poor one. If the good bull cobU $100 core than the inferior one, one daughter from him, with an increased annual production of only 15 pounds of butterfat over that of her dam, will pay six per cent on the increased investment. Serious outbreaks of fire blight may be expected if spring conditions are favorable unless thorough cutting out of all hold-over cankers in root, crown, trunk and limb is done before spring. The fight to eradicate the disease is a community problem. HOME POINTERS. (by Home Demonstration Department) Do you walk 181 miles a year in setting the table? A woman in Wash ington found Fhe did.

It has made the cash register a big brother to retailers all over the world. . It has introduced the world to a substitute for sole leather. It is displacing the truck horse with 40 hosepower trucks. It has helped you to an appreciation of Stetson hats, Walk-Over, Douglas and Em erson shoes. It has made the hand-written letter an oddity in business. It has put hair oil on heads where no hair oil would do any good, and on heads where no hair oil was needed. It has put Castoria down your throat, left bristles in your gums, and then came along with a Rubber-set and took them out. It has put Zozodont, Pebeco and Pepso dent on your teeth. It has put a Gillette against your hayfield. It has put Murine in your eye, sold you Cuticura for pimples, Pears for the bath and Ivory for the tub. It has put Arrow collars around your neck and Ingersols aroung your wrist. It has jammed your feet in Holeproof sox, put Paris garters on your legs, and Tiffany rings on your fingers.
