Plus Tax ING SEED TUBERS The Oregon Agricultural College Ex tension Service has issued rules fpr the seed certification of potatoes for the year. Gordon G. Brown, who is co operating with the service in this work, has asked that all valley growers who are seeking such certification, commun icate with him. In view of the fact that many Upper Valley growers are planning on certifying their seed, the 0. A. C. rules, prepared by G. R. Hy sop, professor of Farm Crops, is given below: Any grower, responsible company, or bona-fide association of Oregon having seed potatoes of a desirable variety may enter fields for certification. There shall be no minimum acreage entrance requirements. Growers hav ing less than an acre may enter if other conditions are met. Before certification work will be con ducted in a county, application must be presented covering a total of not less than 10 growers or not less than 20 acres. This countv limitation is neces sary because of the high expense of visiting an individual grower in a county. Fields may be entered for inspection by turning in an application blank ana the application fee. Theae blanks may be secured from the county agent in each county and are turned in through his office. Counties without agents may secure blanks from the Extension Service. Oregon Agricultural College, Corvaliis, Oregon, the signed blanks being returned directly to the Lxten sion Service. As an indication on the part of the grower to carry out certin cation work, an application fee for $1 must accomapny the application blank After payment of the application or entrance fee of $1, no fees are charged for field inspection. A fee of five cents a bushel is charged for all potatoes meeting certification requirements at the time of the bin inspection, fees, together with the deposit for tags, are due at the time of bin inspection and must be paid before a certificate can be issued to the grower. Boys' and Girls' Club members en tering less than one acre of potatoes when grown under regular project su pervision are not charged the entrance fees, but when the acreage exceeds one acre the customary entrance fee is charged. All certified potatoes should be la beled with an official certification tag bearing the name of the certifying agency, the grower a name, postoflice address, the variety of potatoes, etc, are printed and furinshed at cost by the Extension service in quantities agreed upon by the grower and the in spector. When certified potatoes have been grown for a seed company or are to be marketed through an association they may be certified in the name of the company or association wnen agreed upon by persons interested. Growers are urged to join the in spector at the time fields are being ex amined. Weak, diseased, and off-type vines are pointed out. The grower is instructed to dig these plants and re move them from the field at once. Many potato diseases spread from plant to plant, and unless roguing is done promptly, the disease may spread ex tensively in the field. Failure on the part of the grower to rogue in the- manner and at the time Directed win result in the rejection of the field for certification. The grower must sort the potatoes before bin inspection. All potatoes of other varieties and any that are rotten, cut, stabbed, bruised, or otherwise me chanically injured; those that are pointed at the end, bottle necked, rough, or otherwise not symmetrical; and those weighing less than two ounces must be sorted out before they can be certified. Potatoes passing cer tification requirements will be tagged by the inspector or his representative. Usually two field and one bin inpec- tion are made. The first field inspec tion, made about blooming time, indi cates to the inspector the presence of varietal mixture and disease that ap pears early in the season. The grower at this time is expected to provide the inspector with information as to seed ing, handling of soil, and other items desired. Fields not passing anv inspection will not be considered, further except by special request. The second field inspection is made shortly before the vines ripen and late developing diseases are noted. The bin inspection is made prefera bly not less than one month after har vest to determine upon the presence of disease and insect pests, trueness to varietal type, and accuracy of sorting to meet cetification requirements. Growers should use new ground or land that has not been in potatoes for at least four years. Preferably, on old land, the potatoes should follow a le gume or grass meadow crop. It is use less to attempt certification on land that has recently been in potatoes. Preferably certified Beed should be used. AU'seed, certified or not, should be carefully selected to smooth, sym metrical tubers, and it is better to avoid seed showing stem-end discolora tion. All seed should be given the corrosive-sublimate treatment described in Oregon Agricultural College Experi mentStation Circulars 24 and 25. When in doubt about the presence of wilt, blossom-end pieces, which have less of that disease, should be planted by themselves. When any plant in the field appears disoased, dwarfed, or otherwise un healthy, it should be immediately dug out and removed from the field regard less of whether an inspector has been there or not. Any plant showing evidence of wilt should be dug out of the field. It is often a good plan to dig the plants on each side of it. This is especially im portant if hills are closer than two feet, as tbe'dif ease spreads through the soil. At the time of digging, all tubers that are rotting, damaged, cut, orT type, misshapen, non-symmetrical, or otherwise unsound and those weighing less than two ounces sboud be rigidly sorted out. Next week The Glacier will give the standards needed for certification. RIDING BEAUTY AT COMING CIRCUS. it 1 I 4 AnVi The great Howe's London Shows all combined with Van Amburg's Animal Circus will arrive in the city some time Sunday and proceed to lots west of the city, where the big tops will be reared for performances on Monday afternoon and evening. This circus is on its first season's run this year. It was organized at Palo Alto, Calif., last spring, and is backed by men of high financial stand ing in San Francisco. Press reports of the entertainment of the new show at every point visited along the coast have been decidedly flattering. The equipment, it is declared, is new. The organization has met with financial success, and it carries an air of pros perity, breathing an optimism that puts a pep into performers and the crowd of spectators. One of the features noted in press reports is the expression of newspaper men in appreciation of the courtesy of the employes of the circus. It has been many years since Hood River has witnessed a street parade, i Indeed, no parade has ever been given -by a circus showing on the Heights be- . cause of the steep grades of the city streets.- It is not likely that the Howe shows will be able to make the down . town trip with the heavy wagons and ; animal cages. The recent improve ment of Thriteenth street, however, may make it possible to resume this time honored custom of starting their thrills at the way the antics of the clown's pony cart and the elephant tramp through the streets. OLCOTT'S STAND ON K. K. K. ENDORSED The organization session of the Hood River County Republican Central Com mittee Tuesday was characterized by a resolution, unanimously adopted, en dorsing Governor Olcott in his opposi tion to the KIu Klux Klan.

Canfield was reelected chairman of the county organization, and Joseph Frazier, Jr., succeeded Geo. C. Glad den as secretary. Roy D. Smith was reelected county representative to the State Central Committee. No call has been made of the Demo cratic precinct committeemen. Demo crats have not held - an organzation meeting for over five years. J. H, Hazlett is the last chairman to be for mally named. LUNCH CLUBBERS SING WITH GUSTO SEARCH MADE FOR-' OLD LAKE ROWBOAT A search is being made for a cedar rowboat nmde 21 years ago by u. A. Kerr, now located on a Frankton or chard, for service on Lost Lake. The boat, built in sections, was transported to the lake over a rough forest trail by pack pony. It was of material not affected by weather conditions, and for many years it was in commission on the highland body of water. Mr. Kerr, who had been engaged for many years as a rowboat builder at La Crosse, Wis., constructed the small craft for Ralph Savage pioneer, merchant. It was built on the same pattern as sev real rowboats made for officials of the government locks around the Cascades, It is proposed to use tne old ceaar boat in a celebration at the lake mark ing the completion of the joint county and Forestry Service highway pene trating the region, borne express the opinion that tne poat may nave swamped, and suggestions for the dragging of the lake bottom have been made.

Codling Mooh Spray (By Leroy ChiUsO Orchards on higher elevations should receive the codling moth spray during the present week as eggs will be batch ing quite generally. This includes Willow Mat. Dee and farkdale, Throughout the Lower Valley, where the codling moth has been giving trou ble in the past, a second cover spray should be applied not to exceed 15 days following the last spray. Apples are growing so rapidly at this time that the spray is not effective for any great length of time. Present conditions in dicate that eggs of the first brood will be hatching in greatest numbers to ward the latter part of this week or the first of next week (June 26) and growers should plan to get this second spray on approximately at this time. Use high pressure and spray thorough ly, using plenty of spray material on each tree. Regular strength arsenate should be sufficient or two pounds to the 100 gallons. Caseinate spreader used at the rate of one and one-half, pounds to 300 gallons will assist in ob taining a more complete covering of the apples.

Penney Co., which now operates 313 stores'in 27 states of the Union and which will open 69 this year, has just mailed to its patrons a handsomely illustrated 4U page book let. The cooperative idea of merchan- disiag was launched by J. C. Penney, a native ot Missouri, at Kern merer, Wyo. The business has grown to a great magnitude, forming the largest chain mercantile establishment in the world. The following is clipped from the booklet: But look at this important feature the large quantities we purchase. For example: Last year, 1921, we sold approximately 4,1J.J00 yards or mus lins and sheetings, 3,748,050 yards of ginghams, 2,554,360 yards of percales, the equivalent of 5,959 miles.' If placed end to end on one straight line, this material would reach from New York to San Francisco and back to Pittsburgh We also purchased 2,119,-' 0G8 handkerchiefs, 9,053.972 pairs of hosiery, 3,133,300 knitted under gar ments, 262,296 pairs of corsets, 13.546 bath robes, 125,619 pairs of blankets. 4,499 women's and children's ready-to- wear garments suits, coats and dress es. 4,000,000 spools of cotton thread. l.bOO.000 hair nets, 400.000 women's hand bags. 160,000 men's belts, 2,731, 738 pairs of shoes, .1,010,364 hats and caps, 57,332 men's suits, 146,972 pairs of men's pants, 11,066 men's over coats, 72,784 boys' Buits, 95.450 pairs of boys' pants, 1,945,986 men's and boys shirts, 1,467,900 pairs of men a and boys' overalls; also large quanti ties of other merchandise too varied to mention. There is a blood-stirring sensation in business competition. We thorough ly enjoy the problems that are experi enced in carryfng on a nation-wide in stitution. We operate in 27 different. states and 312 different towns and cit ies. This is interesting. The very problems involved in such an undertak ing call upon men to give thfir best thought ad energies to the task. Have you ever thought about the number of men and women associated with us in this work? We wonder if you have. Well, we have in our New York. St. Louis and St. Taul offices 251 men and women, and in cur stores we ; have about 3,765 men and women, i making a total of more than 4,000 of the most loyal accountants, buyers and salespeople to be found in America.' There is a justifiable reason for their loyalty to this company and their friendly attitude toward you. They like our cooperative plan which we are seeking daily to improve in their inter est and in your interest, . We are seek ing their service for roo the very best they can give and, in return, we give them (in addition to their regular salary) an opportunity through-our co operative plan that money cannot buy."
