AS THESE word are written, Na
than C. Browne la alttlng tight
at Seattle waiting for weather good
enough to warrant him In atartlng
a non-stop flight acroaa the Pacific
to Tokyo.
If the makes the flight, he will win
a prize of (30,000.
Tns writer, who may be wrong
about It, la of the opinion that
this thirty thousand dollars would
do more good If It went to buy food
lor those who are hungry because
they can get no employment.
PRICES of eggs' are low and Save
been for a year. But the depart
ment of agriculture tells us that in
1931 the poultry Industry made a
better relative showing than any
other agricultural industry.
That la lnteresttlng nere on me
Pacific Coast, where the poultry In
dustry la one of our big money In
dustries. SO MUCH for 1931. Now what of
1933 and 1933?
The V. S. department of agricul
ture tells us ther are fewer hens In
farm flocks throughout the country
this spring than In any years since
1925. Up to April 1, fewer eggs per
hen had been laid than In any years
since 1924.
Fewer hens and fewer eggs per hen.
That Indicates a decreasing auppply.
-
NOW as to eggs in storage.
Eeporta of cold storage hold
ings In 26 key cities of the United
States Indicate that there are now In
toraire two million cases of eggs
LESS than that at thla time last
year.. . ... . ...
Again the Indications point to a
smaller supply.
w
HAT does a smaller supply mean
In the way of prloes?
If you want an answer to that
question, consider toe case of onions.
During the past winter, In spite of
generally depressed marke conditions,
onions sold at higher prlcea than for
years. The reason faa a small sup
ply, due to the fact that for years
onions sold below cost or production,
and so people quit raising them.
As soon aa the aupply dropped be
low demand, prices went up.
STATISTICS indicate that the sup-
3 ply of eggs during the coming
fall and winter will be smaller than
usual. If that Is true, prloes should
rise.
V The rise, if it comes, will be wel-
f corned by poultrymen.
WACKSON COUNTY should produce
more eggs
Conditions here are favorable. Peed
prices are low. reduction, in the
commercial flocks we have, la high.
Our agriculture, to be aa success
Jul aa It should be. ought to be more
widely diversified. Increased poultry
production would help to bring that
about.
A T THIS season of the year, when
allover Oregon high school com.
meneement exercises are being held
these figures will be Interesting:
In 1910, high school enrollment in
Oregon was 10,000. In 1932, twenty-
two years later, it was S0.0OO.
That Is quite an Increase.
N 1910, the total population of Ore-
gon was 872,708. In 1932, Oregon's
. population waa 953,780. That la an
1 increase of about 60 per cent.
While Oregon's total population
was Incresslng one.half, enrollment
in her high schools increased WVS,
TIMES. I
One thing Is certain. Here in Ore
gon, the coming generation la going
to be better educated than the gen
eration of the past.
IP TOU have "eyeiT"you have read
wild stories of the scandalous do
ings of the younger generation. If
you have ears, you have heard toese
same stories.
People love to tell them.
wO YOU believe thes stories? Do
you believe tthst the present
generation of young people Is worse
than any generation that has gone
before?
This writer, who la an optimist and
refuses to believe that the world la
getting worse Instead of better.
DOESNT.
It you are wise, you will not.
