THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1924. PAGE FOUR STATE MARE ACT IT Crain Inspection Depart ment Improves Under the New System. In his report to Governor Pierce, State Market Agent C. E. Spenee makes the following comparisons of the Grain Inspection Department for tha eight month before he took charge of the Department, April 1 to November 30, and the tame pnod after he was in charge. From April 1 to November 30, the records show that 3'J ,900,000 bu shels were inspected, weighed and graded at a total cot of $h:j,442, or an average of $1 for 478 bushels. This was the record of the former administration. Flour was reduced to bushels. For the same period of 1923, when the Department came under the State Market Agent, the records show that there were inspected, weighed and graded, 40,958,000 bunhels of grain and 740.H68 barrels of flour, and re ducing flour to bushels there was a total of 44,292.000 bushels of grain inspected. This includes "in" and "out" inspection at a total cost of $77,1. '16, or an average of $1 for 674 bushels, against the former average of t for 478 bushels. This comparison shows 96 more bushels taken care of for $1 under the State Market Agent than for the same period of the previous year and at the same time the entire expenses of the State Market Agent's office are included for the period. Five Take Toll First. The government daily market news service, under date of November 14, shows the gauntlet that haa to be run by a box of Oregon apples and the number of profits taken from it be fore it reaches the consumer in New York. The New York retailer took $17, the jobber took 49c, the whole saler 3tc, the rail road 80s, thf snipping organization Z7c, leaving I1.1H of the $5 the box of applet sold for, for the grower. The retailer got more profit on the sale than the grower got for the en tire season's labor and expenses for the box. In other words five middle interests took their toll from the $5 the consumer paid, in all $3.82, and left the grower $1.18. He took what was left. Urges Poultry Men to Stick, The State Market Agent urges the poultrymen of Oregon who are pres ent members of the state association to not only stick with their organi zation but to work to enlarge the membership during the annual drive for a larger co-operation. "The as sociation has reached a solid footing and Is now in position to be of great benefit to egg producers," he says, "if the produoers themselves will stand loyally with it and back it sol idly, rather than being baited away by the outside coneema who have tried for years to break it." The as sociation is about to install an egg cleaning machine, which will obviate all cleaning of eggs and which will result in higher prices for grades that were formery cleaned by the producers. The wool growers association has had a very satisfactory year and has paid its members $450,000 more than outsiders received for the same quan tity and quality. A co-operative association is under way to bring the cherry growers of Oregon, Washington and California into one organization.

COMMON CROUP SELDOM FATAL "No common affliction of young childhood causes mor anxiety to parent than so-called croup, espec ially the first attack. Croup ii not a disease but is the name given to a symptom caused by spasm of the vo cal cords, and due to congestion and inflammation of the upper air pas sages. Ordinary everyday, or rather night croup seldom attacks infants under six months of age, but occurs very frequently beyond that age and up to the third year of life, after which It is rare. There would seem to be ground for the belief that sen sitiveness of the vocal cords may not infrequently be a family heritage. An attack of croup is often preceded by a slight cold in the nose, indigestion or ususual exposure to sudden cold, but frequently there is no warning the household is aroused during the night by an ominous, rasping, fre quently repeated cough followed by the characteristic sound of air drawn with difficulty into a narrowed aper ture. The severity of the attack va ries. At times the child is not even awakened. More often the difficulty in breathing causes a great deal of distress and even terror. The lips are blue, the face covered with per spiration, the soft parts about the chest and neck sink in with each in take of the breath, while the child crawls or walks about the crib cry ing hoarsely, and with every power at its command seeking relief. An attack of croup even when untreated usually passes off within a few hours, frequently to be repeated in a less severe form for the following two nights. During the day the child is seemingly well, except occasionally for a slight cough. Croup such as I have described never ends fatally, in spite of the alarming symptoms. The remedies so effective in cutting short the attack are known to most exper ienced mothers.

It cannot be nit id that meaiurn t prevent recurring attack or croup are always aueceiisful, but attention to diet and especially to the evening meal, together with plenty of fresh air during the day time and well ven tilated but not draughty sleeping rooms, cold sponging of the neck and chest daily, and suitable clothing, will not infrequently bring about de sired results. Beware of an attack of croup which does not yield prompt ly to ordinary household measures, or when there is to be seen marked inflammation of the throat and es pecially white spots on one or both tonsils. This may mean diphtheria or a condition of inflammation lead ing to severe laryngitis, bronchitis or even pneumonia. A physiciun should be summoned at once. This would seem to be an appropriate time to advise mothers arid fathers to learn to look in their children's throats and to teach their children to permit without struggling the brief examination necessary. Many mistakes and even disasters may be thus prevented, and a child trained to open its mouth properly is a joy to the visiting physician and enables him to make this all-important exam ination much more readily."
