Telephone 3173 W V V automobile manufacturers sav "clean your crankcase regularly Engine operation causes steady accumulation of road dust, carbon, fine metal particles, and other impurities in your crankcase oil. This contaminated oil circulates through your engine, impairs its performance and ulti mately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs. Your Instruction Book says,"flush out the crankcase regularly and refill with fresh oil." But these important instructions are often disregarded; cleaning the crank case is a job generally disliked. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Ser vice has been established by first-class garages and other dealers, co-operating with the Standard Oil Com pany These garages and dealers use Calol Flushing Oil, the scientific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other impurities, and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used.

The Boston Cooking School Magazine, an authority on dietetics, says that butter contains a higher percentage of vitamines than most other foods. Pure butter is one of the most economical and life nour ishing foods that you can buy. HOOD RIVER CREAMERY STONE URGES THAT INSPECTOR BE BACKED The Apple Growers Association has begun a close cooperation with M. D. Armstrong newly appointed county fruit inspector, who has been given police powers for the enforcement of spray programs in the fruit sections. The Association has announced that the increase of the inspector's salary to $2,500 per year by the county court is a move in the right direction. A. W. Stone says : "In order to secure the full benefit of the services of Mr. Armstrong, it requires the cooperation of every grow er. It needs thorough and diligent effort to overcome the unsatisfactory condition of orchards which have been brought about in many cases because of shortage of help ; in other cases by an absolute neglect. "We are confronted in the apple in dustry by conditions that necessitate the use of scientific methods, if our orchards are to prove financially suc cessful. Systematic and diligent en deavor and thorough cooperation be tween our growers and Mr. Armstrong will insure the desired result?. REMAINING UNSOLD APPLE STOCKS LOW Only 40 carloads of apples remained here unsold the latter part of last week, according to C. W. McCullagh. The cooperative sales agency, holding practically all of the storage stocks remaining here, still had in its pos session X'M.'lTl boxes of the total crop of 942,987 boxes delivered last fall. Mr. McCullagh says the apple mar ket is now at a standstill. The warm weather prevailing over the middle west and east, he declares, has had a very bad effect on the market. The auction, according to reports, has been glutted with poor quality of Spitzen burs, Jonathans and Winesaps. Reduced Implement Prices Announcement of a general reduction in price on all implement made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South Mend, Indiana, is of vital importance to farmers in this community. This is me nrsi enori on me pari or any large implement manufacturer to help the farmer in a real way, and brings prices to about the 1118 basil. The general price reduction of the Oliver ('hilled Plow Works is a step in the right direction. The farmer does not need advice. It is fully realized that if farmers in this community are to make a profit this year, they must produce a large crop and still reduce the production cost. Now that Oliver plows and imple ments are offered at lower prices, in the matter of tillage implements, at least, the farmer is given relief in the way of producing his crops at a low ered cost. We invite the growers and farmers of Hood River Valley to look over our stock of Oliver Plows and other implements. m3 Kelly Bros. Co. CLEANER ORCHARDS IS INSPECTOR'S PLEA It was with a reat deal of interest that I came to Hood River and looked over the orchard covered acres from Hood River to I'aikdale, and having always been keenly interested in fruit and the fruit grower's problems, it was with some degree of satisfaction and pleasure that 1 assisted in the har vest of a part of the crop last fall. It is with more pleasure that I anticipate visiting the many growers and or chards during the coming year. I have known people who considered the fruit inspector as a nuisance which is to be tolerated and as one more trouble and source of anxiety to the fruit grower. However, from the many words of encouragement and offers of cooperation which I have received from growers with whom I have talked h re, I am sure that this is the feeling of few if any in the Hood River valley. The continued suc cess of Hood River as a great fruit producing district calls for no other policy than that of clean orchards, and this which is vital to the community as a whole is vital to every member of it. This is being realized more ' and more fully as disease makes deeper inroads into our orchards, and 1 want to em phasize that which you have heard be fore ; that it is only through the hearty cooperation "f all growers that the anthracnose and other orchard pests can be controlled most successfully. I am reminded of the story of a teamster, who, being an expert with his whip, used to amuse himself as he passed along the road by snapping the flies and other insects from the bushes. A companion, noting one day that he had passed by a hornet which was sit ting near the entrance to its nest, asked why he had spared it, to which the driver ma le reply that he never interfered where there was so much cooperation. The point of this story applies to us whether it be in the marketing of our goods or in the fight against the pests in the growing of a perfect crop. Hood River has successfully met many problems in the past in the grow ing and marketing of its crops ; this fact, together with the means which we have at hand for combatting the anthracnose and other orchard pests, makes me feel more certain oi success in this campaign for clean orchards. I do not wish to minimize the serious ness of the situation at all, for we have a hard light before us, especially in some sections, and close attention must be given to all phases of the fight against anthracnose. Juet now our attention should be centered on getting rid of all dead wood and all limbs which are so thor oughly diseased that their recovery is impossible. This may in many cases mean the removal of the entire tree. There always is the tree where the question comes: "Should it be left or taken out." In considering this tree a number of points are to be taken into account such as variety and vital ity of tree generally. However, the following consideration should be given to all trees. The profit derived from the healthy, well formed tree of a good variety has not been large in the aver age year of the past. If one realizes the greater expense incident to caring for a sickly, diseased tree together with the smaller returns in number of boxes of fruit, it may help the decision in favor of taking out the old tree and replacing it with a new one whose value will be increasing as the years go on, whether to one's self as an operator, or in a more ready sale at a better figure. As to myself, my full time will be given to the fruit growers of this county, and I shall be glad to be of any assistance to any on call. Through the kindness of Prof. Childs and the II I Kiver Experiment Station, which has dune so much for the state of Ore gon and Hood River particularly, I shall have my office at the station, second Moor Heilbronner building, where I shall be glad to meet any of the growers or receive any communica tions. Office phone, 1304. I shall be in the office Saturdays and in touch with it every day to receive communi cations. As soon a possible 1 will have a phone at my residence. For some months the most of my time w.IUic spent in visiting your orchards. WhaU ver 1 do, 1 shall attempt to do for the good of the community and through the community the individual. I hope that it shall never be n cessary to use the law in our campaign, but should it become so, I shall Ho so with the good of the community in mind and not with malice toward any individual. I do not wish to be considered as an orchard cop, but as your assistant and cooperator in this campaign for better orchards. Manton I). Armstrong, County Fruit Inspector. SPECIAL!

HOOD RIVER ODELL Grange Favors Japanese Bill The legislative committee of the Hood River County Pomona Grange, in session here Saturday aftternoon. went on record as favoring the Japan ese exclusion bill, passed last week by the lower bouse of the legislature. The committee wired Senator Nickel sen to support the measure and to use his influence in its behalf. The Grange committee failed to make any recommendations with re gard to the proposed marketing bill. which has been fought consistently here by the Apple G-owers Association and other fruit sales concerns. Stevenson Wins Here The Stevenson high school basket j ball team came to the front for mid Columbia championship honors Friday night, defeating the local high school by a score of 35 to 27. The practice of the visitors in switching their for- I wards and guards confused the Hood River boys. The sensation of the Kanie was a basket pitched by Rav Slavens from the center of the floor. James Johnson suffered a dislocation of a shoulder when he collided with a Stevenson player. NEW RAIL SPURS ARE IN PROSPECT According to Chas. T. Early, here last wwk. additional warehouse facili ties mav be provided at Hood River by the building of a spur track from the main line of the 0 -W. R & N. Co. just east of here to the tract of ground that was at one time the old Iost Lake Lumber Company mill site. If this is done, it is said, there may be some very substantial structures erected during the present year.

F. Ripley, of Mosier. is in The Dalles, seekinir land suitable for a big goat farm. Ripley has been in the goat business for several years at Mosier, but is greatly handicapped by being forced to use Mosier as a shipning point, he Btated. With a ranch near The Dalles, he expects to work up a market for milk goats which will extend along. the entire 1'achic coast. In establishing a goat ranch, Riplev will have three distinct purposes. First, he expects to establish a milk goat dairy, with which he will supply Tbe Dalles and Portland with fresh goat milk. This milk is considerably higher in percentage of butter fat than cow's milk, and hence is much sought after for feedingkbabies and invalids, according to Ripley. Second, among the possible markets for the products of a goat farm, is the sale of milk goats. Many persons buy these goats and keep them in their back yards, because of the excellent quality milk which they give. Last, but not least, is the goat gland market. Ripley explained that he has J.

Hoiebolt, Rector. id Mr. Every shipper and grower should stand solidly back of anv move to im prove fruit inspection. It is only the perfect fruit which has won for the northwest and the Pacific slope its world-wide reputation. The grower who is not for rigid inspection and enforcement of grade and pack regula tions is a menace to the fruit industry of the territory. It is unfair that one careless shipper in a community should jeopardize me returns or every grower whose iruit happens to be shinned in me same car. the I'acihc northwest, through its progressive methods of handling its enormous fruit tonnage, has attracted the attention of practically every fruit producing country in the world. They are copying the great American north west, buying the same orchard and packing house equipment, adopting the same rules of pack and grade, and, having learned all we can teach them, are entering the lists against their teacher. Surely, this no time to let down the bars. -Better Fruit- Notice to Stockholders Any stockholder that wants more stock, please send in application to the Secretary of the Farmers' Irrigating Company on or before March 1, 1921.
