issued by the Division of Chemistry,
R. E. Rose, state chemist, has reach
ed me. Aside from the financial
statements for each year named
above, giving a general balance each
year Of over thirty thousand dollars,
there are papers on commercial fer
tilizers, cane syrup industry in the
South, Pure Food Laws, shredded to-
bacco culture, Farmers Institutes and
other topics of interest to our rural
population. In addition, and of prin-
cipal value to farmers, are tables
showing analyses of fertilizers, guar
anteed by those who make them and
as officially determined by the chem
lists.

Vocation in Life.

Choice Of occupation is mostly a
matter Of taste and aptitude. No hon
est calling is in itself much better or
worse than others. Every business
is conidered the best by somebody.
while others declare it the worst of
all. The question is not have you
chosen the best vocation, but rather
have you found out where you belong.
The right road will seem to stretch
out before you the distance Of a life
time without barrier; the wrong road
will quickly lead to blind wall, or
at best, to a very steep hill.-Ameri

PINEAPPLES.
A Study of Production and Profits.
Prelude.

An apple? Yes, pineapple, kissed
By sunshine and believed by
mist;
This Eve and Adam ate, at cost
Of Eden, which they deemed we'll
AS to- their lips it's flavor chung
And knowledge gave to human
tongue. 5
And when they fled that fatal day,
1t followed them upon their way,
And ever since, as sweet as then
This Eden gift has been to men
The best of fruits that he has met
And keeps its pristine flavor yet
All we'll! if in these later days
In Florida we sing its praise,
What harm to other fruit is done,
Since nothing grown beneath the
Is so delicious and so rare
Or with pineapples can compare!
This study is based on the 9Th BIZ
ennial Report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture for 1903 and 1904 and
the third census Of the State taken in
the year 1905.
In 1903 twelve counties reported
3o6,o4o crates, valued at $43I,oo7 hav-
ing an average value of $40 per
crate.
In 1905 fourteen counties, reported
224,oo8 crates, having a value of $685..
8I5 or $I.6o per crate.
Here it will be noted that while
the product decreased, the reverse ap-
piled to valuation. It is assumed that
value" as reported, means the net
profit to the grower though this is
not made clear in the reports of the
Commissioners.
In 1903 Brevard county was the
banner county, reporting 227,522
crates valued at $2o6,I4o.
The others were as follows as to
counties, crates and values:

lost part of its area by the creation

turns per crate, the highest being
$500 at De Land, Volusia county and
the lowest So cents in ST. Lucie, a
near neighbor. Thinking it possible
that there might be some typograph-
ical error in these two cases I wrote
to friend in De Land as to one and
to commissioner McLin as to the
other Each, however, confirmed the
report.
But why these varying values?
Did parties in giving in the number
of crates overestimate, or, in CIV
ing the correct amount of solid
"plunks" received?
A high authority, commenting on
the tendency of our rural friends, not
alone in Florida, but everywhere in
our country, says: 1--WE have found in
such matters, some people seem to
either exaggerate, or greatly under
rate both quantities and values for
the purpose of discrediting the work
or deceiving those seeking informa
ton, because they are opposed to sup
plying the same l dislike to think
that this criticism is applicable to the
pineapple growers of the state.
That the census enumerator for De
Soto county evidently failed to secure
correct data am quite confident
from personal knowledge. In the ia
bic above the whole number given is
3AI75 crates, and yet the Punta Cor
da Herald in its issue of October II,
1905, reported 1884 crates as having
that season, and | know that no emu
imerator came into the Pabor Lake
region near Avon Park to get any in
formation whatever such as he was
required to obtain
This. is but a straw showing the
way the wind blew. There may have
been other straws and winds else
where in the state.
The St. Lucie county report is one
that needs some explanation from
some one able to furnish it. With
Dade county growers realizing SI.4o;
Brevard, So. 40; Orange, $I.87, and St.
Lucie only 81 cents, an outside OBJ
server is curious to know if the quail
ity of the pines raised is SO poor or
reaches markets in such bad shape
reaches market in such bad condition,
or if it is done to discourage new
settlers from embarking in the bust
ness.
Another query is, were there no
pineapples raised in 1903 in Dade
county? According to the descriptive
pamphlet on Florida, prepared in the
interest of immigration by the De-
partment of Agriculture, over which
Commissioner McLin presides, there
were Io5,882 crates marketed in 1902,
and nothing but blank dotted lines
for the following year.
AS to the future of the industry, it
would take a wiser man than the
writer of this article to prophesy. At
present no statistics of 1906 are at
hand Two serious freezes within
three years gives cause for pessimis-
tic views. The crop of the coming
season, some authorities have assert
ed, will be decreased at least rs per
cent, even in the most favorable Sec
tons in the lower east coast country.

frozen in the Christmas week freeze.

Labor is scarce, is the cry all over
the land. Promoters Of great enter
prises, if they could procure labor
ing people from Mars might find a
solution of the scant labor problem.
In McClure's Magazine for March
there is an article on "What We
Know About Mars" in which the
writer says:
"A Marian laborer could perform
as much work in given time as fiji
ty or sixty terrestrial ditch diggers,
and keep pace with a powerful Pan
anna dredger.

According to a report by Consul lie
Roy of Durango, on the cotton
crop of the republic, which has been
an unusually large one, he states:
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting and keeping the required
number Of laborers to gather the
crop, and no exact estimates of the
amount gathered seemed to be avail
able. Labor in this branch of agri-
culture has been quite demoralized
by the constant increase of wages,
till they have reached such a point
that laborers in the cotton belt will
hardly undertake any other sort of
work in the season and will work
only a part of the time in the cotton
fields. At the rates now paid labor
ers can earn far more than thei1
needs require, and not having the
habit Of saving they take advantage
of the opportunity to lie idle when
ever they so desire"

When the wheat harvest opens in
Umatilla county this year, at least 240
combined harvesters will be In opera
ton in the county.
E. L. Smith, the well known imple-
ment man of this city, has sold 80
Holt combined harvesters this season
and there are now total OF over 200
Holt machines in the county as we'll as
about S5 other kinds of machines.
Last year Mr.. Smith sold 80 new
Holt machines in the county besides
several secondhand machines, but the
sales of new machines this year ex-
ceed the sales of any previous year.
Most of the machines sold by Mr..
Smith this season have been 16-foot
machines which are pulled by 26
horses and will cut on an average Of
200 acres per week or 33 1-3 acres
per day. They cost on an average Of
$500 each.
A new 14-foot and several 20-foot
machines have been sold by Mr.. Smith,
but the majority of the sales have
been 16-foot machines, which are
adapted to all kinds of ground and
which can be handled successfully in
the foothills and over uneven ground
found in many places in the wheat
belt.
Mr.. Smith said to the East Ore
gonian today that every effort is be-
ing made by the Holt harvester peo-
pie to discover some satisfactory pow
er for their combined harvesters, in
order to do away with horse power.
Horses are becoming so valuable and
the work is so heavy on them that
farmers desire steam or gasoline en-
gine power to replace horse power.
A gasoline engine machine was
tested near walla Walla last year and
further tests will be made this sea-
son. However, Mr.. Smith believes that
the most satisfactory substitute for
horse power will be the turbine en-
CINE, which is now coming into gen.
eral use. There is no oscillation to the
turbine and it can be attached to the
harvester more easily than a rotating
engine and he looks for it to be adopt
ed as a harvester power some time.
The machines sold this year in this
county have been delivered at Helix,
1 thena, Adams, Pendleton and other
points and he finds that many station
ary threshlng outfits will not be used
this season at all. They will be re-
placed by combined harvesters In
many instances.
With horses valued at about 500
per head and the combined harvester
at $500 it is seen that a large in
vestment is required for each machine
used, Twenty-six horses at 800 each
$1,000; one machine at $500; rs sets
of harness, $500; total, $4,000 invest.
ment for each machine used. with
240 machines in use in Umatilla coun-
ty it is seen that the amount invested
in combined harvester outfits alone
to say nothing of other methods OF
harvesting, is $1,176,00o.

F.. D. Trumbull, deputy labor COM
missioner and factory inspectory for
eastern Oregon, has been in the city
today for the purpose of investigat-
ing conditions at the various manu-
featuring plants in this city. He ex-
poets to be here for two or three
days, during which time he will go
very fully into the existing factory
conditions. He is not here for the
purpose of investigating any COM
plants made against LEGAL plants, but
instead is merely making the annual
inspection for the labor commission
er.
In inspecting the various factories
and other establishments coming un-
der his supervision Mr.. Trumball has
to do solely with the safety of the
employees. He sees that proper
safety appliances are in use, and in
general that the conditions are in
conformity with the laws upon the
subject. But little difficulty is ever
experienced with owners of plants, as
1t has been demonstrated that the
inspection is beneficial to tho en-
ployer as we'll as to the employees. In
the state Of Washington, where a
similar inspection is made annually,
the percentage Of accidents has been
decreased one-half as a result of the
visits OF the inspectors.
Mr.. Trumbull, the deputy now
here, is a resident of Baker City and
before his appointment was manager
Of planning mill near that city. As
deputy commissioner he has head
quarters at La Grande.

Rev. ]. NJ. Cornelison, Presbyterian
missionary on the Umatilla reserva-
tion, is planning for a To-day camp
meeting some time in July either at

on the Umatilla river, where 1t may
suit his Indian congregation better,
and to this end is issuing a circular
letter to people who are Interested In
the welfare of the Indian asking them
to cooperate with him in the work.
The recent evangelistic meetings at
the mission were very successful and

rors along with Mr.. McWalters, and
Mr.. Ladd remarked 81 am going to
get excused" Mac. who had seen so
many who had made similar re-
quests refused, told Mr.. Ladd that
the Judge was excusing very few and
he doubted If he could be. Mr.. Ladd
smiled and invited Mac to accom-
pary him to the court house and he
would show him how easily 1t could
be accomplished.
Mr.. Ladd walked up to the court
and notified Judge Fee that he would
like to be excused. His honor asked
Mr.. Ladd upon what grounds he de-
sired to be excused. Mr.. Ladd turn
ed his head to one side and asked
the court, "How is that?" The court
repeated his desire to know why Mr..
Ladd wished to be excused. The sec
ond time Mr.. Ladd turned his other
car to the court and asked him to
repeat the question little louder.
The court took in a deep breath
and raised his deep voice to the point
where the prisoners in the Jail await
ing sentence, became alarmed, but
rot sufficient to daze Mr.. Ladd in
the least, who for the third time plac-
ed his hand behind his ear and re-
marked: Judge, you will have to
talk a little louder" without fur
ther INJURY Judge Fee turned to the
clerk and ordered him to excuse Mr..
Ladd.
Mr.. Ladd lost no time in returning
to his home, and the joke was so good
that the few in the court room at the
time did not have the nerve to in
form the court how easily he might
have cured Mr.. Ladd's deafness, and
this is the first time it has ever been
given out.

SHEEP OVER THE LINE.
Washington Sheepmen VIII Pay
Fines and Come 10 Oregon,

DR.. w. H. Lytle, state sheep inspec-
tor. left this afternoon for Milton for
the purpose of performing duties
pertaining to his position. The
Oregon sheepmen who have been US
ing the Oregon portion of the We
naha reserve for grazing purposes are
now starting their bands towards the
summer ranges. Two different bands
havs airsadv hAan hro"aht a6Rhes tha
80. So-iI ecioSo tho
state line and another grower has
served notice that he will cross in
the near future.
The sheepmen who have crossed
thus far have refused to dip their
sheir sheep in accordance with the
quarantine proclamation of the gov
ernor. Instead, they have expressed
themselves as preferring to pay the
fines that may be imposed upon them
for violations of the quarantine pro-
visions. Under the law anyone vio-
lating any of the provisions becomes
subject to a fine of from $3.50 to
$1,000 and is liable for damages in
case Oregon sheep become infected
through the outside flocks.
Up to this time Judge Wolverton
has not passed upon the application
Of the Washington men for an In
junction to prohibit the sheep com.
] mission from enforcing the law al
| this time.

This afternoon complaints were
made out before District Attorney
Phelps against the Washington mel
who have infringed upon the law, anc
they will be arrested at once
1t is evidently the intention Of tn,

JOKE ON JUDGE FEE.
Juror 'Played Dear and Was Ex'
cused From Duty.

cused From Duty.
The La Grande Observer tells the
following joke perpetrated by
Union county farmer on Mayor
James A. Fee Of this city, VINO wac
at the time circuit Judge:
D. H. McWalters, who is attending
this term of the circuit court as a
Juror. related a rather amusing incl
dent in years gone by, when Judge
James A. Fee, who Is now mayor OF
Pendleton, was on the bench and
was holding a term of court In
Union. It was during the spring
time, and nearly all Of the farmers
tried to get excused. In fact, they
could not really afford to remain two
or three weeks away from their
homes.
Freeman Ladd was one Of the ju'
