VARIETY OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Commercial Handlers of Fruit Must
Take Note of Characteristics
to Avoid Disaster.
t

(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

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

Records of Three Flocks of Leghorns
Show Specifically Value of

(Prepared by the United States Depart

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

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.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT—Referred to the people by tbs*
Legislative Assembly.
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.
