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. They are the steam
