A weli painted house brings
several hundred dollars more on

The best paint spreads more
easily saves labor cost. It
covers more square yards you
buy more gallons of cheap paint.
The best paint then protects
the house, if properly applied,
from five to ten years longer.
There is no question as to
which costs less. Don't allow
sufflfers to rot. It costs lets to

The best paints are scientific

FRANK P. FRIDAY SUC
CUMBS TO INJURIES
In a letter to local fruit men. Arthur
M. Geary, Portland attorney, who is
interested in Meflford orchards and
who has just" returned from Chicago,
where he attended the recent conven
tion of the American Farm Bureau As
sociation, says that the fruit growers'
delegation at the convention went on
record advising cooperative associations
not to sign up long term coutracts with
such market . organizations as the
American Fruit Ueowers, Inc., and the
North American Fruit Exchange or any
other organization not; purely cooperative.
"In all evertp," Mr. Geary writes,
"it was the opinion at the cohvention
that cooperative fruit marketing asso
ciations should have the opportunity to
market through agents, the hiring and
firing of whom were exclusively in the
bands of the cooperative associations.
The president of the American Farm
liureau Federation will appoint a c im-
mittee of 21 representing all fruit
gtowing states. This committee will
endeavor to make a thorough study of
the possibilities of working out a na
tional marketing system for the fruit
growing dist ids. Cons'djrable em
phasis was pi t upon the opportunity
that the orgai izingof farmers afforded
for Increasing distribution of north
western fruit among the farmers of
the middle wi at and southwest."
Mr. Geary, en route to the Chicago
meeting recently stopped here for a
conference with local fruit interests.
At that time the opinion was advanced
that an apparent split between the
American Fruit Growers, Inc., ard the
North American Fruit Exchange, for
merly closely allied, was on the sur
face only. It was intimated at trie
meeting that the battle was a sham to
delude growers of Washington dis
tricts, where affiliation on a coopera
tive basis was being sought. Mr.
Geary, however, writes:
"Since talking with various growers
at Hood River, I have found evidence
of a temporary split at least between
the Arthur Rule faction and the James
S. Crutchfleld fa tion. Once the grow
er organizations were signed up under
a 5-year contract it would probably not
be difficult for Mr. Rule or Mr. Cratch
field to mend what differences may
now exist, however."
Mr. Geary states that he will be
glad to come to Hood River and talk
to local cooperative fruit men concern
ing what appeared at the Chicago
convention.

ness world is still feeling its way, but
with increasing confidence anil with
the conviction that the worst has
passed. The cauntry has succesfully
borne the strain caused by a most
notable drop in prices, particularly of
a vast volume of raw materials, and
has weathered a trying period of
liquidation."
The demand for finished products has
not developed to the point where our
factories feel justified in taking the
requisite ipjantity of our surplus raw
materials to furnish the naCCMMfy re
lief to their producers, but there are
indications of a change in this direc
tion. Business men realize that forced
action, based on artificial optimism,
may lead to unwise action and produce
further embarrassment. The foreign
t-ituation has not shown the expected
improvement, and continued dlfficul
ties are experienced in discovering tin
effective European market for our
commodities.

favorable domestic conditions. The

HEART STROKE FATAL
FOR MR. MIITRIE
The Farmer Today Is a Business Man
a
HE does not run his farm in the haphazard fashion he
did ten years ago. It's his business.' He figures his
costs and profits.
He knows, of course, what he gets out of the productive
acres of his farm and how much he is paying out in taxes
on the idle unproductive stump and swamp land that brings
in nothing.
That Is Why He Is Clearing More Land Every Year
It's just good business. Every acre cleared and planted
means more profit every year. The clearing cost is usually
more than covered by the first crop.
More land is being cleared, too, because of the manufacture
of dynamite made for this purpose, which makes the work
easier, quicker and more economical.

and plan how much dynamite you need for this season. He will help you ,

Following funeral services, at which
Rev. Gabriel Sykes officiated, the
body of Andrew Mutrie was taken'to
Idlewilde cemeterv for interment Sun
day afternoon. Mr. Mutrie, aged 61),
died suddenly Saturday morning of
heart disease. He and Mrs. Mutrie
had awakened and had been talking.
Mr. Mutrie expressed a wish to take
another nap before getting up. The
fatal stroke came as he turned in bed.
Mr. Mutrie was a native of Elora,
Ont., but with his family he had resid
ed for many at Winlock, Wash. He
came here to live two years ago. In
addition to his wife, he is survived by
the following children: Mrs. Stella
Mel.ure, of Puyallup, Wn. ; Mrs. Floyd
Arnold. Mrs. Will Zolls and Miss
Gladys Mutrie, of Hood River.
Tozier Roosts Blackberries
Albert Tozier, of Dee, is planting 1(1
acres to blackberries and next year
will increase to w acres. He claims
that blackberries will prove far more
profitable than apples or strawberries.
There are no pests that bother black
berries and the cultivation necessary
is far less than for strawberries or ap
ples. The apple is bothered bv the
moth, aphis, scale, caterpillars and
gophers, requiring continual spraying
of trees and eternal vigilance for the
gopher. Cull blackberries bring from
10 to 15 cents per pound while cull ap
ples command from one halt to one
cent. The fruit is harveiteddurinir a
season when help is plentiful and no
danger of a freeze. No middleman to
salary and the price of the fruit is
known the day it leaves the ranch.

(By Eeroy Childs)
By the middle of this week. Anril
20, the trees in the Ixwer Valley will
be in the right condition to receive the
pink spray of lime sulphur, 135. In
order to thoroughly cover the young ,
developing apples it is desirable to
wait until the young fruits have separ-:
ated in the clusters and from present i
development this stage will be reached
the latter part of the week On most I
varieties. In the case of the earlier1
varieties the spray should be applied
immediately.
There seems to be considerable doubt
among many growers relative to the
need of making this application. Our
station recommended the omission of
the delayed dormant application and
were gambling some with fungus in so
doing. For this reason it would not be
wise to omit the pink spray even
though the chances are not great for
scab development. The spray will cost
but a few dollars and it will be a long
step toward insuring the production of
a crop free from fungus and the keep
ing of this disease out of our orchards
which is well worth while. Unless we
maintainja rather regular spray sched
ule from year to year in our orchards
fungus will again get a foot hold and
we will have a condition similar to
that existing three or four years ago.
It fa within our power, by practicing
regular spraying, to prevent the recur
rence of such conditions. From pres
ent conditions it appears as if the pink
and calyx application of lime and sul
fur will be the only ones required to
protect our orchards from scab. Later
observations may alter this schedule,
however. The pink stage in the Up
per Valley will not be reached for
nearly two weeks.
