VARIETY OF BIG IMPORTANCE Commercial Handlers of Fruit Must Take Note of Characteristics to Avoid Disaster. t : i , (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) From whatever standpoint one may approach it. "the variety" looms large in the fruit industry. The grower wants particular sorts—fruits having certain desirable and known charac- teristics—In order that he may sup ply certain trade demands, or be able to harvest at particular times, or in some other way receive the benefits that are to be derived from fruits pos- sessing certain qualities or characters. In a similar manner, the trade—the commercial handlers of fruit—must take note of varietal characteristics: otherwise, faults will develop In their business that will be disastrous. Poor- keeping varieties will be placed In cold storage, when only long-keeping varie ties have gained commercial promi- | nence very largely because of their good shipping qualities when they were seriously lacking In dessert or other qualities. The consumer does not know much about variety names as a rule, but if the retuller with whom he trades would take pains to supply always good dessert varieties when fruit is wanted for dessert purposes, and good cooking varieties when they are de sired for cooking, everyone interested, from the grower to the consumer, would be benefited thereby. However, as a rule, by the time the fruit roaches the retailer apples are simply "apples." peaches tire just "peaches" and plums are ’plums" without much regard to the use for which the con sumer wants them. Even with such fruits ns strawberries, blackberries and the like there are variety adapta- tions from the consumer’s standpoint but they are not alwavs easy to give full reco mnitien even If one were mu ing an effort to do so. To return to the grower. After careful study of varietal characteris- ties. h<> orders from a nurseryman, for example the varieties of apple and peach trees th he has decided will give him fl . -. hat will best sup ply the trade to whi h he is to ater. BREEDING PAYS IN POULTRY Opinions differ as to whether the martyr, or the professional good man, Is the most obnoxious person. Records of Three Flocks of Leghorns Show Specifically Value of Purebred Males. Unless she Is an actress a woman Is as old as she looks. In the case of an actress add from ten to twenty years. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) That the value of purebred males counts as much In poultry raising as in stock raising la shown by the rec- ords of three docks of Leghorns, the data for which have been supplied the United States department of agricul ture by the North Carolina experiment station. Flock 1, the egg production of which is included in these records, consisted of common hens : flock 2 was > ; | te . i .4 A produced by breeding these hens to common males; flock 3 was produced by breeding flock 1 to a rooster from a high-producing hen. The following ear the original flock laid 89 eggs a hen ; flock 2 laid an average of 88 eggs a hen; and flock 8 laid an average of 136 eggs a hen. This Increase of 54 per cent In one year tells very specifi- oally the benefits of using a purebred male Hut the percentages alone do 1 tell the whole story, for a big pro- ortion of the Increase came at a sea- on—May and June—when the produc- n of flocks 1 and 2 was relatively ow and the prices were good.

Speaking of psychology, what makes children squall so about trifles! If there is a movement to reform jails It ought to begin with the smell. Romance sees the babbling brook— practicality asks if there are fish in it Man may be so constituted that he has to practice some hypocrisies or live the life of a hermit, and that wouldn’t be nice. An airplane can fly higher than a bird, but a bird makes far less noise about it. When a man takes several years to loaf at thirty, it spoils him ; thirty years later it wouldn’t matter. 6 There Is artistry in kissing, and. not in perpetrating one that sounds like the chirp of an ungreased ex- press wagon.- Hope is the one thing you can’t bunko the' average man out of. A New York burglar tried hard to reform. He is now practicing law. Eggs should not be washed as this removes the gelatinous film of the shell that keeps out air and germs. The nests should be kept clean so that the eggs will have no chance to become «oiled, as removing dirt by washing w 111 allow molds and germs to enter <he egg and hasten Its spoiling.—Exten- - on Division, North Dakota Agricul-. ural College. • Lots of men who pay as they go are in no hurry about making a start Nothing makes a girl so weary as to have a young man ask her for a kiss. Women seldom go on a strike be- cause they can’t hit the nail on the head. A man's capacity for work often de- pends upon whether he is working for himself or others.

As grass makes up the bulk of feed for geese, it is doubtful whether it pays to raise them unless good grass range is available during the summer. The hen that has free range on a farm in summer finds these same things and that Is one reason Why neg lected farm flocks lay well tn summer and very poorly at other times. The results found by experiment seem to prove the contention of some Leghorn breeders that their birds are light enters In comparison with some ether breeds. • SOME TIME AFTER SOLOMON It takes time to ripen character.

LIMITATION OF .FOUR PER CENT STATE INDEBTEDNESS FOR PERMANENT ROADS.Purposes To amend Section 7 of Article Al of the Constitution of the State of Oregon so as to permit the creation of debtsand liabilities including previous debts and liabilities for the purpose of building and maintaining permanent roads to the amount of tourner cent of the assessed valuation of all the property in the State of Oregon, instead of two per centas now provided by law. NO PROPERTY TAX—NO DIRECT TAX NO INCREASE IN AUTO LICENSE FEES NO INCREASE OF GASOLINE TAX Keep these three facts in mind. The present auto license fees and gasoline tax will pay both the principal and interest on all the bonds under this amendment, and will yield an annual surplus besides for other state highway work. No additional taxation of any kind. FEDERAL FUNDS MUST BE MATCHED Oregon must have sufficient Highway Funds to match Federal apportion ments or Oregon cannot get the benefit of Federal money for Oregon Roads. Increasing this constitutional limit is a necessity. Unless limit is increased either state roads cannot be completed for many, many years, or must be finished by direct property taxation. This measure averts direct property tax for state highways and makes early completion possible. Let’s get the roads built now. Income from Present Sources Sufficient to Pay Principal and interest. rts The fact that revenues from auto license fees and gasoline tax, without increase of present will be ample to pay both principal and interest on these bonds, is clearly set forth by official figures in the State Pam ph let, mailed to every registered voter Refer to State Pamphlet for verification Examine the table carefully. It proves that no property tax is required and that present ratee for auto license fees and gas tax will redeem principal and interest and yield surplus besides. z - o For Interest Tables, Pamphlets or further Information, write to 1 • OREGON ROADS AND DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION W.
