The O. Hog lives In a hole, and Is a oute customer, and Is supposed to be a weather prophet. If he comes out of his hole which, In the light of the way humans are acting, would be bum Judgment, and see his shadow, there will be six weeks more of winter. If he stays in his hole, which any sen sible O. Hog would do, spring Is here, tra-lal Ground Hog day U not much. It Is not used ss an excuse for a danoe, getting drunk, or closing up the banks and barbershops. The day also has no political significance. Neither has the around Hog anything to do with sausage, as rumored, A num ber of years ago an argument started, whether or not the Ground Hog was a member of the Qopher family. The question was Insignificant enough 10 cause a a-year debate, and be a burning Issue in every campaign, but didn't. Something more inconsequen tial than the ancestors of the O. Hog was discovered to get mad about. The O. Hog la very fast on his feet, and can duck Into his hole faster than a politician caught In an un truth. The hole Is about the aire if the O. Hog, and has practically no elbow-room. Yet when a O. Hog alms himself at his hole, he never misses It. He better not. Furthermore, be never gets far from his hole. He is more afraid of a cat than he is of his shadow. Whether or not the a. Hog emerges from his hole, all the womenfolks see the shadow of a new spring hat, and the reflection of an Easter bonnet. These two (2) Items are the only things that survive, on account of the Depression, hitting neither the spring hats, or the O, Hog. Spring plowing starts ss soon as the farm ers feel like It, after Q. Hog day, There has been a report that the Ground Hog this year, It he comes out of same, would pull the hole in after him. This Is entirely up to the Oround Hog.

The development of machines he predicts will bring the bright new era. Of technocracy he says : Mr. Ford is probably more responsible than any one else for the evils engendered by the machine age, for he it was who perfected mass production and put people on wheels and so accelerated life. He has done his best to standardize humanity into robots. Yet he sees a bright future and declares that "the machine age is barely started. In the real machine age which is to come the dirt and ugliness of confusion and noise and dis regard of human rights which are all about us today will be done away with. This is only the ox cart stage of the machine age. I wish I might live to see the real thing when it comes. " He declares) Technocracy seems to me misnamed. X see little evidence of technical experience in it. Its diagnosis of present conditions are permanent, when It forgets the fluid and progressive elem ents in life, It simply goes on the rocks. life has a funny way of pushing out where we least expect It. It breaks up aU our diagrams. AU that has happened now, as I see It, Is that life has broken out. We had thought it nicely stabilized In certain financial and industrial patterns. People say something has broken down. I say that life has simply broken out. It always does. There will never be a technocracy In the sense of a ruling mechanical oligarchy, because life will not stand for it. This period that we are going through right now is the re covery. The bad times were back In 1920 and before. That was the real panic that so-called prosperous period. Business, at bottom, never was so bad as It was In what ws called boom times. The managers were off the Job. People weren't really working or really thinking. Now they are. We are seeing cow the passing of an old era and the beginning of a new one better tba anything the world has known before. (Salem Capital Journal.) Cost of Pear Production Can Be Cut by Increased Yield Through Irrigation Study by Aldrich Shows Valley Costs Too High in Comparison With Other Producing Regions Ed. Note: The following discussion of pear Irrigation studies In the Interests of lowering production cunts U. 8. department of agriculture at the Growers league: CHAPTER I. In the previous talk Mr. Work ex. plained (1) that only part of the moisture In the soil is available to the pear tree; and (2) that up to SO per oent of the maximum available moisture. Increasing the available soil moisture has resulted In lncreas ed tree responses. I shall discuss some of the pear tree responses to increases In available soil moisture, and shall point out the value ot In creased soil moisture in relation to profitable pear growing. At present, pear growing la oor talnly not profitable. To make it profitable growers must obtain not only working capital and markets tor their fruit, but alu must reduce the existing cost of producing the fruit. If production costs can be reduced, profits can be obtained at market prices hitherto unprofitable, xne world over, manufacturers strive "O reduce production costs, to enable them to meet the prices of competi tors and still make a profit. Similar ly, the pear growers of this valley are faced with the problem of cutting Cost of Production Per Box (or Locality Boxes per Wenatchee Yakima Lake, CO., California- Medford (1024-27) , Medford (1030-32) t Figures complied by L.

Although we should always strive o Increase our market prices by better harvesting, storage and advertising methods, we must also learn to pro duce our pears more cheaply than we have In the past. Our present cost of production seems to be higher than that for competing sections. From published surveys, giving average yield per acre and average cost of production. I have taken the following figures and esti mated the cost of producing a box of pears for this and tor competing sections. I realise these averages may be misleading, but the figures strongly suggest that this valley has the lowest yield per acre and that lis production coats per box are much higher than those for Wenatchee, Yakirria or Lake oounty. Since the cost of production per acre Is prac ROOSEVELT PLANS VAST EXPERIMENT TO PROVIDE (Continued from Page One) involving halt a dozen states is to Include: 1. Reforestation. 2.

Aldrich of the January 28 meeting of the Fruit tlcally fixed (except for thinning and harvesting costs) Medford pear grow ers can reduce their cost of produc tion per box It they can Increase their yield per acre. Our recent experimental work Is showing that the proper use of irri gation can greatly Increase the yield per acre. Yield can be Increased In two ways: (1) Increasing sire of fruit, and (2) increasing the number ot fruits per tree. Our experimental work has al ready shown that Irrigation can be used to lnerease the size of the fruit. During the past summer, while Mr. Work was studying the effeot of dif ferent irrigation treatments upon available soil moisture, I obtained records of fruit growth. From 4o to 00 fruits per plot were measured at semi-weekly or weekly Intervals from May until harvest. Spring rains maintained the soil moisture fairly high until early June, but after the middle of June, when distinct differ ences in soil moisture appeared In the different plots, differences in fruit growth were observed.

In crease In fruit sire was the greatest in the most frequently Irrigated plot, and leas in the plot irrigated only once. In the plot reoevlng Irriga tion only In the early part of the season ths soil moisture decreased during August, and likewise the rate of fruit growth decreased during Au gust. Thus, our experiments have shown that In clay abode soil, when the available soli moisture Is Increas ed, ths growth ot the frul tis In creased. This response ot fruit growth to Irrigation has been care fully proven, and Is an established fact. Whether or not you can utlllre this discovery is a matter for each grower to decide tor his particular orchard conditions. (Continued Tomorrow.)

If you're a well, I am not allowed to use the language that fits but if you are not fair and square you'll call It "a cold" and go about peppering everybody who la so ignorant or Inno cent aa to come within your spray range. In one of the horde of little rehash magazines which have sprung up since hard times came to the pub lishers, X find a "digest" of an article on "The Common Cold' condensed from another magazine. I challenge anyone to find out what the author of the funny article was thinking or trying to say about the subject when he , yanked this neatly stereotyped elucidation out of bis typewriter: "You can alt In wet clothes by an open window In winter and, If there are no cold bugs present, you won't catch cold. The chances are, however, that cold bugs are present. Most people carry a quota of cold bugs with them all the time. When their resistance la lowered by wet feet or expos ure, they succumb, to the bugs and catch cold. It la the germ which causes the cold, however, not the wet feet.H Omit the redundant howevera and the author's droll slang for germs and the paragraph would make an excel lent subject for the Junior class to analyze, discuss and criticize.

If most people are germ carriers and suffer from the specific disease the germs produce, only when "resistance" la lowered by exposure or wet feet, then Communications Ray Wants No Mussolini. To the Editor: In order that my position may be fully understood by all, will say: Though severing my connections with the Good Govern-1 ment Congress, I in no way retract from the stand that I have taken against corrupt conditions known to exist In Jackson county, nor do I criticize the sincere efforts of L. a. Banks In the past or at present, but I do not believe In a powerful or ganization being placed in the hands and under the dictation of any man or any group of men within the body of said organization, which might or might not enact the will and Intent of the entire organization, and believe no action should be taken upon any measure without due deliberation of and discussion by the entire body. I wish to be true to my convic tions, which have come Into being through the atdy of the word of God. and will always be found ready to support any person or cause which I believe to be right, and by the same token, ready to denounce any person or principle which I believe to be wrong and unjust. X believe in giving my entire support to all legally elected officers, city and ooun ty, who are doing their duty to pro mote Justice, and to condemn all ob struction to Justice wherever found. I have no apology to offer for any thing I hare said or done, all of which I sincerely believe to hare been for the lasting benefit of the organis ation with which I was associated. All should remember that the truth la a sharp, two-edged sword, will cut both waya, and should be handled with care. Sincerely, OUT L. RAT. Knights of the Round Table To the Editor: The loyalty and consecration of spirit to be found In the Good Gov ernment Congress Is suggestive of modern knights of the Round Table. The Holy Grail of today Is the quest for Justice tempered by mercy "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" a politi cal expression of the brotherhood of man. The world la staging great changes. The struggle taking place In our county la but ft small fragment of a mighty whole. A single sector of a far flung battle line of conflicting standards. The principles Involved are ot the utmost importance. The people every where are looking to America for leadership, for America is the orucl ble of the nations. Why is this so?

Beneath the banner of this Ideal, we can know no failure. We wilt carry on.

He was on friendly terms with the Hy lan and Walker lammany adminis trations and had something to say about where the city's money was de posited. Also he has worked closely with Baruch and Raskob.

Nevertheless, down underneath, they all know the league will do nothing outstanding. The purpose was to frighten Japan out of her military campaign Into southern China. All the powers were advised confidentially that waa the objective of the Jehol actlvttlea. It will work out fine If Japan Is frightened. But if she calls the bluff om sanctions there may be trouble. The league has no army to try driv ing the Japs out of Asia. The other nations think too much of their armies to use them for that purpose in these days.

In addition to the personal ex emption of $1000 for single persons and $2500 for married persons living together and for heads of families, a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of $400 for each dependent, defined by Income tax law and regulations as a person under 18 years of age or In capable of self-support because men tally or physically defective. The term "mentally or physically defective' means not only cripples and those mentally defective, but persons In 111 health and the aged. In order to be entitled to the $400 credit, the taxpayer must furnish the dependent his or her chief support. Tho credit Is based upon actual finan cial dependency and not mere legal dependency. For example, a father whose children receive half or more of their support from a trust fund or other separate source Is not en titled to the credit. Neither relationship nor residence are factors In the allowance of the $400 credit for a dependent. The tax payer and the dependent may be resi dents of different cities. If husband and wife both contribute to the sup port of a dependent, the $400 credit may be taken by the one contribut ing the chief support, and may not be divided between them. A single person who supports In his home an aged mother Is entitled not only to the $400 credit for a de pendent, but also to the personal ex emption of $2500 as the head of a family. A widower supporting under similar circumstances a dependent child under 18 years of age also la entitled to the personal exemption of $2600 as the head of a family, plus the $400 credit for a dependent. Under the revenue act of 1932, both the personal exemption and the credit for dependents are required to be pro-rated where the status of the tax payer changed during the year.
