fArticles appearing in the GLACIER under
the above heading from week TO week will be
furnished and edited by the board OF directors
of the Hood River Fruit Growers Union.l
The III. r. +. G. Union is the original
and oldest shipping agency here. 1t is
the only concern using the cooperative
principle by which all the profits go to
the growers. 1t has established busi-
ness relations with the most responsible
fruit dealers in all the markets, and the
question is, "Why pay tribute to un-
necessary middlemen and spectators.
Cooperation is becoming the watch
word in all the fruit-gfowing sections;
not only in California but in Colorado,
with its vast melon shipments, and in
the strawberry-growing sections of the
United States. The Southwest, an ably
conducted horticultural paper Of Spring
field, Mo-, says
III cooperation Ia right, fruit growers
should never become discouraged, 1t is
not in armed conflict alone that courage
and patriotism are manifested, and all
the great victories that lift up human
ity are not won by the sword. Bear in
mind that more is accomplished by CO.
operation than is credited to it, Asso-
Citations serve TO restrain powerful cor
porations from adding to their present
charges, Without organization the pro-
duOers will have no profit"
Most assuredly the growers are en-
titled to receive all the profit that prop
erly belongs to them,

DUKES VALLEY, Feb. 5, l900.-Editor
GLACIER Being confined to the house
for several days with demoralized leg,
having c2llided with q road scraper with
four-horse attachment, with your per-
mission will scribble few lines from
this place, The settlers in here have
been busy OF late some grubbing, some
making road, and some hauling wood
and others spreading manure over their
land and oil hands-DodsQns "a, MUIR
phys (2), Cook, Suits and Knox--have
been opening out our new road running
from Tucker south to Paul Aubert's.
We have about half Of it open for travel,
II is open as far north as Uncle Woods
place, and force OF men and teams will
probably commence grading the Tucker
bill about Feb. 8th, weather permitting
When the road is completed clear
through, six miles, it will be the straight,
elk niles Of road in the whole valley.
We are proud Of our new road, We
imagine the health Of the valley will
improve now, as we can get breath of
fresh air from the north, and ii does not
como from trans vaal either. We antic-
ipate trouble in windy weather. The
road being straight, the air will come
through with such velocity that it may
develop into cyclone and bust some-
thing. We will make . strong effort to
get the road opened clear through this
season, II our road supervisors will CO.
operate and call out the men that signed
the petition it will be easier for all OF us,
II they fail to obey the order of the
court this year we will see the law ON
the subject, Settlers in the valley are
getting very tired OF travelling nine miles
70 get five or six miles from home, when
the new road gives US . straight route,
and all this opposition is for the aake OF
some time in the distant future the up

Poultry Notes.

The hen trust is busted and eggs are
selling at Is cents.
Ed Calkins received Black Minor
ca rooster from fremont, Oregon, last
week,
E. D, Calkins took home two large
packing boxes Monday, in which he will
place his Minorcas and let them live in
his orchard to look after the insects that
prey upon fruit
LII. Koberg received, las. Saturday,
two thoroughbred Brown Leghorn roos-
ters from Albany, Oregon, which he will
use to cross on his two-year old Brahma
hens,
Parties wishing to improve their
breeds Of chickens by purchasing thor
oughbred stock should first inquire at
home or Of dealers within the state
before sending to the Eastern states,
which ia costly when the freight bills
are paid.
G. ]. Gessling has ten yearling hens
and five April pullets that laid PIG eggs
in December and 207 eggs in January.
They are cross between Barred Plymouth
Rocks and Minorcas. His May pullets
are just commencing to lay. The record
made by his hens for winter months is
hard to beat.
Owners OF small orchards who let
poultry run among the trees are usually
troubled with fewer insect pests than
usual. Hens are great scratchers. A
Fruit World reader says that his hens
help eradicate Goblin moths. He sows
grain near the trees as feed, turns it
under, and in scratching for the feed
the hens get most of the moth grubs.-

Mrs Howe contemplates getting an in

are always eager for freshly ground
bones. She has fine lot Of Plymouth
Rock hens that have been furnishing
eggs right along all winter,
j. II. Koberg has two pens of chick
ems. Pen No. l consists OF 80 hens two
years old and OF mixed breeds, mostly
Brahmas and Cochins; laid in December
26 dozen eggs at q profit Of about 81 over
their feed bill. In January the same
lot laid 40H dozen eggs at profit of
81 .85 over expense. Pen No. 2 consists
of rs pullets, mostly Plymouth Rocks
and silver-laced Wyandottes; laid in
December 81 dozen eggs at profit Of
about $l4 over their feed bill; in JAN
uary they laid 8S dozen eggs at profit
of $3.50. Thia record shows that it
hardly pays to keep old stock for egg
production, although we must keep
them for breeding. Mr.. Koberg says
that for an all.round good chicken,
Plymouth Rocks and silyer-laced Wyan-
dottes cannot be beat.

Man or Beast!

The Western states are. being shaken
from center to circumference by bill
introduced in congress by Senator Foster
OF Washington, which provides for the
leasing, to corporations or to individuals,
at q nominal rental, in the direction of
the secretary of agriculture, vast tracts
of land for long periods of time, Time
enough in Oregon for bill like that
when the people cease to exercise the
homestead privilege, which, according to
recent reports of local land offices, is
being exercised today more than ever
before. The policy OF the government
should be to encourage peopling of the
Western states instead OF their depeo-
pling to make rooRa for the stock, live
and watered, OF wealthy corporations.
a very similar issue to this was fought
ont years ago in the Highlands of Scot
laRd, where wealthy British goldfish
aristocracy sought to establish large
deer forests and game preserves, As all
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-02-09

too often happens in such cases, wealth
prevailed, the question of Men or Deer?"
was settled in favor of the latter, and
today all over the Highlands may be
seen piles OF ruins where once were
thousands of happy homes, and one may
travel for days and hear no sound save
the eurlew 'slonely cry. As a consequence
of that short-sighted and inhuman
policy, Scotland's best and most virile
blood has been scattered to the ends of
the earth-a calamity that can not be
offset by countless columns of dollars
and cents.
Ii ever, in the course of time, gov
ernmept landleasing law shall become
a necessity, we sincerely hope its farm
ers will have sense enough not to make
1t, as in the Foster bill, penal offense
to trespass upon leased land. The most
autocratic English lord could ask for no
more than that, and the American peo-
pie would never stand it.-Fossil Journal.
