Women Object to
Eight Hour Bill

A petition bearing the signatures
of large number Of the residents
of this place protesting vigorously
against the passage Of the eight-hour
law for female employees in the state
in its present form was sent to
Olympia the first of the week. Not
only the cannerymen and other ex-
tensive employers Of women but the
women themselves object to its
passage on the ground that it is un-
fair if applied to the fish trades,
since the salmon season is short at
best and extremely busy and the
canneries must be operated more
than eight hours day in order to
handle the catches of fish that come
in from the traps, seiners and troll
lers. If help Of this kind were
plentiful there would not be so much
objection to the bill but it is not.
The demand for women and girls to
work in the canneries on the Sound
is always heavier than the supply.
1t would therefore be impossible
to put two shifts to work, and the
operation of the law would simply
result in the canneries having a
small output and in the employees
losing pay for the hours they now
work overtime.~- The employees
themselves do not favor the move
to cut the hours down. it is under
stood, since the rush season at the
canneries lasts but part of the
summer and the women and girls
who work there look to it yearly as
a source of revenue.
Practically all Of the women and
girls employed in the local cannery
during the past season signed the
protest. An amendment has been
offered to the bill making the hours
ten instead Of eight and if nothing
better can be done with it the emf
ployers and employees hope that this
much consideration will be shown
them.

but no other place can bring the red
fruit to such perfection. Prof.
Thornber, Of the State College, who
has been making study of varieties
best suited to various sections, rec.

The next convention will be held
at Charleston. Figures recently com
piled by State Horticultural Inspec.
tor F. A. Huntley and quoted in
President Benson's address, show
that Kittitas County has 4129 acres
containing 3O4, ,206 trees; Yakima.
38, $50 acres. containing 2,271, ,538
trees, and Benton, 8461 arces, and
754 1892 trees. There is still three
times as much irrigable land IN hay
as in fruit.

Not Satisfied With
Present Game Laws

a petition to the governor and
members of the state legislature
was circulated here the first of the
week and was signed by many resi-
dents of the island asking that the
game laws be so amended as to pro-
nlblt the exporting of game bird and
deer out of this and Island counties.
It has been necessary to import
Chinese and other species of phea-
SAINTS into the county for breeding
purposes and nearly all of the county
game fund has been used for the
past three or four years for this pur-
pose and the people here naturally
feel that they should have the benifit
OF it. In years past hunters have
come here from Seattle, Bellingham
and other mainland points and have
carried away birds by the hundreds
and tits this practice that the people
here wish to stop. Deer have also
been taken off from Orcas island by
the score. Ranchers, whose or
chards and gardens have been invad-
ed by the deer are glad to see them
killed and do not C are much what
becomes of them afterwards but the
sportsmen of the county are fearful
that they may be exterminated un-
less outside hunters are prohibited
from killing them and shipping them
out of the county. It is claimed
however by those who ought to know
that the deer are more plentiful now
than they were a few years ago.
The marked features of the new
game and game fish bill as introduc-
ed in the senate this week are the
prohibition of hnntinhg deer with
dogs at all times and in all places;
increasing the bounty or" "varmints, -
such as cougars, wildcats and coyo-
tes, etc; prohibiting the use of sal
mon eggs as bait in fishing for sal
mon trout. Some changes are made
in the open and closed season for
hunting, the tendency being to
shorten the length of the season.
1t is thought the bill will precipi-
tate a fight, both in the senate. and
house since there are some members
who desire to eliminate all reference
to hunting deer with dogs, and also
wish to retain the privilege of fish
ing with salmon eggs. Senator Col
lins of King county is father of the
bill and Chairman Deming. of the
house committee. will champion the
bill when it reaches the house.

Profit in Chickens
|. Says II. |. Blanchard

In an editorial published in last
Tuesdays issue Of the Post-Intelli-
gencer the editor of that paper says:
"H, L. Blancard, the poultry expert
and present assistant, superintendent
of the state experimental farm at
Puyallup, is authority for the state
ment that there are now imported
into this state annually eggs and
poultry to the value of $4,000, 900.
While the population of the state in
the decade increased by 12O per cent,
the rate Of increase in importation
of eggs and poultry has been 1900
per cent. Here is a great economic
waste.
Yet, as Mr.. Blanchard's own ex-
perience has demonstrated. fully,
there are few places in the world
where poultry can be raised to
better advantage than here. Fur
ther, there are few places in the
United States where eggs and poul-
try are kept at as uniformly high
level in prices as they are here. AS
result there are hundreds Of fami-
lies making good livelihood off
few acres Of deforested lands almost
entirely from their poultry. There
is room for ten times the number,
however, and then there will be
small prospect that the market de-
mands of the state will be more than
met. There is still the great mar
ket of Alaska to be supplied, should
production ever overtake the market
in this state.
At the Puyallup station Mr..
Blanchard has started q small model
poultry plant, showing the methods
best adapted to this country. It is
primarily for the guidance Of other
people who desire to enter upon the
industry. The plant was started in
August 1909. with $50 pullets.
Since that time the earnings have
fully paid for it. It will be con-
siderable revenue producer hereaf-
ter
AS sample of what can be done,
there is flock Of eighty Leghorn
pullets at the plant. Matched in Feb
ruary last, all Of which commenced
to lay when a little over 4 months
old. When they were 9 months old
their eggs had paid for the entire
cost Of feed for a year anda half.
All of the eggs which they lay for
the next nine months therefore will
be profit. Mr.. Blanchard demonstrate
ed. on his own farm in Jefferson
county that poultry farming was the
most profitable form Of agricultural
industry ia this state. At Puyallup
he aims to show other people how
he achieved his own success that
they may duplicate It. " -

Profits $4,000

In addition to showing profits of
$517. .O09.16, the insurance fund in
creased $211, ,O47.74 during the year.
The falling off in profits was due
to the decrease in the seasons pack.
The associations pack aggregated
971, ZIG cases compared with 1885,
254 in 1909; /. .160.477in 1908; 1,
-1OO,O ,O35 in 1907. The association
also put up 4.083 barrels of salt sal
mon. The pack Of canned salmon
was segregated as follows: sock

cases; kings, II, 1876 cases; cohoes, &c.
O97 cases; pinks, 157.6O7 cases;

and launches, a total of eighty-two
vessels having an appraised value
of 81 ABS, 900. The report states
that the plants are valued at $4,319,-

In addition to declaring a dividend
of $6 per share, during the year,
the officers cancelled $176. 900

Why Danish Butter
Makers Beat World

Farm and Dairy gives the follow
ing which is an object lesson for
farmers of this country:
Twenty-Five years ago the Danish
farmers were threatened with ex-
tinction by the producers of wheat
in the United States, Russia and
the Argentine Republic. At that
juncture finding a good market in
England for dairy products they
turned their attention to that indus
try, and today they export to Great
Britain, 81 .00O, 900 worth of butter
a week or $52, 900, 900 a year. The
farmers in Denmark have also taken
to hog raising, and are now the
great exporters of bacon in Europe.
Mr.. Morrison Davidson, of Eng
land says: "1he soil of Denmark
is naturally arid as compared with
the rich. meadowlands of England
and the more fertile straths of Scot
land. Moreover the climate is incon-
sistent and the winters are by no
means short. But the Danes they
number some 2,50O,000- are of an
excellent breed, and their education
as farmers is the best yet evolved in
any country. The total number of
farms is ESQ. 900, with cultivated
area Of over 10000. 900 acres. The
land is thus divided:
Number Acre
Size of farms. of farms age
Less than j acres 98, 900 $4,000
From to 133
acres $4,000 100000
From 133 to 40
acres $4,000 1,15o,00o
From 40 to $50
acres $1,000 $500. 900
From $50 to $50
acres 5000 81, 100. 900
More than $50
acres 822 1,15O, 900
"Quite 80 per cent of the cultiva-
tors own their holdings and these
in consequence control the state
machine with an outlook on life al
most exclusively agricultural.
The minister of agriculture was
roof -thatchersAnd four of the other
ministers were small farmers.
Municipal Copenhagen, which is
purely socialist looks grimly asking
at the doings Of the parliament
of peasant proprietors but must
grin and bear it,
The Danes are great cooperative
traders. The farmer does his own
buying at wholesale. Though the
purchasing societies he buys food
for his cattle. Almost everything
he consumes comes to him at cost.
It is purchased by central agencies.
The goods are then distributed to
the stores, one of which is to be
found in every village. Thus he
buys his food and all supplies. He
saves the profits Of the jobber and
the retail dealer for himself.
