DECIDE NOT TO
HANDLE FRUIT
Stockholders of Fruit & F Produce Co.
Vote Against AGliation with
Yakima Valley Association

The Kennewick Fruit & Produce
Co. will not affiliate with the Yaki-
ma Valley Fruit Growers Associa-
ton this year. Such was the SEN
timent expressed by a majority of
the stockholders at their annual
meeting Wednesday, after several
hours of spirited debate. There
was decided sentiment expressed
by some of the stockholders that
the company should resume the
handling of fruit and produce, for
which purpose it was originally Or
ganized. Those holding this view,
however, proved to be in the minor
ity land after various motions had
been made, with the object of re-es-
tablishing the marketing phase of
the business, all of which were voted
down, it was decided that while ef-
fort would be made to find markets
for what produce might be offered,
no special department for that pur-
pose will be maintained. The prin-
cipal question was whether or not
the members of the Fruit Growers
Association should sell their pro-
duce to the Fruit & Produce Co.,
under an affiliation with the asso-
ciation's marketing system. When
the matter was put to a vote the
proposition was defeated.
The afternoon session was taken
up largely in hearing and consider
alton of the managers report of the
years business. According to the
figures, the three stores did a COM
bined business of more than $175,-
600, divided as follows: Kenne-
wick, $132,0OO; Prosser, s2S, ,9O9;
Finley, $16,240. In addition to
these amounts over $4,000 was
handled through the sale of Coats &
Marks basket factory products, as
we'll as several thousand from the
distribution of Union Oil products.
In proportion to the amount in
vested the Finley store shows the
most satisfactory results of the three
stores. DR.. M. P. Davidson is man
ager of the Finley store and w. c..
Sommers is looking after the COM
pany's affairs at the Prosser branch.
The concerns books now show
462 stockholders, with a paid-up
capital of $19, ,532 and surplus of
$7,514.99. Although more than a
ten per cent earning was shown on
the past years business, no div
idend has as yet been declared.
General Manager Sly asked for an
informal expression of the members
as to whether it would pay to pro-
vide grocery store on the main
street. It was the sentiment of the
majority that more favorable To-
cation would do much toward an in
crease of business. No definite action
was taken, but the matter will prob
ably come up before the board OF
directors for final action.
At the election of new directors,
to take the place of N. C. Bowles,
VIM. Engles and 1. Smith, whose
terms expired, it was suggested that
as quite block of stock is held by
Prosser and Finley residents, those
districts should have representatives
on<the board. w. S. Hunt of Pros
ser and Capt. Hoyt and N. c. Bow
les of Finley were chosen, Mr.. Bowles
being reelected. The remainder OF
the board of directors consists of G..
C. Williams, L. S. Grassland, III. G.
Puderbaugh and H. M. Bartlett.
The board will meet next week to
elect officers.

STORM SINKS FERRY

producers loss, caused by a decrease
in price, under present conditions rep
resents that due to spoilage or poor
quality. The consumers loss is due to
a curtailed supply because of the eggs
that are either of poor quality or a
total loss; hence the consumer has to
pay higher prices for those that finally
reach him.
While these losses are increased at
all stages of handling by the pro-
Queer, the country storekeeper, the
produce dealer, the railroad, the COM
mission man and jobber and the re-
taller, the greatest preventable loss
occurs before the produce dealer OBJ
tains the goods-that is, while the
eggs are still on the farm or in the
hands of the small country storekeep-
er who takes eggs in exchange for
supplies.

Helps For Advertisers

best adviser; it has done enough good
to the public and to the bank that to
list it all would require this entire
paper to enumerate it and all brought
about by advertising.
One of the early bank advertise
ments contained this paragraph: "The
first law Of nature is self-preservation
and to preserve his life and liberty
IA man MUST save" This was good
principally because it was true.
The supreme conservatives today
are professional men; the doctor, the
lawyer and the musician; yet it is only
a matter of time before each will use
the newspaper to the mutual advan-
tage of both the public and himself.
1t is folly to expect that without
advertising a mans friends will build
up his business; let a competitor open
a store in the same locality and adver-
tise the same line Of goods and the
first man will quickly realize that
something has happened.
The big mail order houses cannot

By J. w. Lafferty,

Let us reflect for moment on adj
vertising a few years ago and its re-
lation to the most conservative of all
institutions-the bank. The dignified
atmosphere of a bank, laden with the
responsibility of handling the money
of its patrons, would seem profaned
by asking for business through adver-
Using. Finally somebody realized
that it was a banks duty to encourage
the saving habit and the only way it
could be accomplished was through
good advertising. 1t started, contin-
ued and today there are very few
banks that are not educating the pub
lie along the line of saving. What has
this done? 1t has made everybody
feel that they can walk up and hand
in just one dollar to start savings
account; it has cleared the bank of
that mysterious awe by showing its
customers that they are welcome with
small as we'll as large deposits; it has
demonstrated over and again that in
financial matters your banker Is your

more eggs each succeeding year. In
1900, 2,799,737 cases of eggs were re-
ceived in New York; last year the
number increased to 4,723 ,558. In 1891
Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwau-
kee, New York, st. Louis and San
Francisco received 5,040,88S cases Of
eggs, and last year 13,696,401.
Within the last ten or fifteen years
there has been decided improvement
of the quality of eggs.
The quickest way TO arouse desire
in the producer to raise better chick
ems supply better eggs is TO show him
that good quality poultry and eggs are
worth more than those of poor quality.
In marketing eggs there is an enor-
nous loss Much of this is prevent
able. While this loss falls upon all
who handle eggs, it is borne chiefly by
the producer and the consumer. The

give any better quality for the same
price than can be given by the mer-
chants of his town, but by cunningly
devised catalogues they cease it over"
the people and principally because the
people have not been educated to bring
their wants to home merchants.
Just as the small depositor seeks
advice to his banker, so should the
townspeople seek the advice of their
home merchant whenever they are in
the market for articles that are not
even carried in stock. The local jew
eler may not carry large diamonds in
stock, but he knows diamonds and If
he is ordering for one of his custom
ers he also knows where to get the
best values. It's just the same in any
other line.
Like the bank, it's up to the mer-
chant to advertise and to educate his
people to come to him and when they
do come, all are benefited.

it weighs too much; if light enough it
is not secure.
A hen that lays every day in the
year would be worth her weight in
gold. There we're laid in the United
States last year 1,700,000,000 dozen
eggs, worth 100000. The price
of eggs has gradually increased for
twenty years. In 1900 New York paid
for the average best fresh eggs from
IL to 20 cents. In 1912 the figures
were 20h to go cents. At the same
time New York has been consuming

treatment during the dormant period
each year.
There are several scales washes
which may be employed in the control
of the insect.
The lime sulphur solution is the one
usually recommended and can be ap-
piled any time during the year. Ii
we are to apply this solution when the
leaves are off the trees, we should
make a mixture as follows:
gal of lime sulphur.
10 gals of water.
When the leaves are on the trees,
we must apply weaker solution on
account Of the caustic effect Of the
lime. For summer applications, we
suggest the following mixture
2 gals. lime sulphur.
so gals. water.
This material can be applied with
any kind of a pump, but the operator
must exert every effort to thoroughly
cover every leaf, twig and branch.
The whole secret Of spraying is thor
oughness, and we should try and place
fine film of spray material over the
entire tree.
This dangerous insect is found in
several places in this section of the
State, and we must cooperate in fight
ing it or our orchards will be de-
stroyed in very few years.
If we should fail to spray one
branch as long as a pencil, the insect
reproduces itself so rapidly that the
entire tree would be infested within
one year. For this reason we should
dehorn or prune the trees and give
them thorough application of lime
sulphur before the leaves comes out
in the spring.

Cooperation Between Seller and Buyer

cry business it is the business of the
creamerymen to cut out all the frills
and furbelows and make the cost IF
getting the cream and the making and
selling of the butter just as low as
possible. When he doen't do this ne
is not working in truly cooperative
spirit. The producer of the raw ma
terial always gets what is left after all
expenses are taken out. This is an
inviolable rule of business.
A creamery in order to succeed must
have the cooperation of its farmer
patrons. 1t doesn't deserve that CO.
operation if it doesn't practice coop
Grafton in return.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1914-03-07

We hear much nowadays about CO.
operation in producing, manufactur
ing and selling farm products.
Considerable unrest prevails among
farmers in some sections over the diff
ference between what they get for
their farm produce and what the con-
sumner pays for it. Those antiquated
systems of creamery management
which loads heavy expense on to the
business which the farmer must pay
have contributed their share to this
feeling of unrest.
Ideal cooperation is that in which
all parties to a business transaction
work to help each other. In the cream

Description of Insect.

The mature San Jose Scale is small,
grayish in color, circular in outline,
somewhat convex, and with nipple
like prominence in the center The
insect itself is beneath the so-called
scale, this being a waxy covering Sc
creted by the soft, helpless, yellow
"louse" for its own protection.
It's presence is not readily detected
by the casual observer, but in the case
of severe infestation of the bark of
the tree and limbs will present an ash
gray appearance, and on closer exami-
nation will be found thoroughly in
crusted with the scales, which, when
scraped with knife, will produce a
YelloWiSh. oily fluid.

San Jose Scale
By Jas. r. thinner, Manistee, Michigan.

1t has been the consensus of Opin-
ion that the San Jose Scale cannot live
in the northern part of Michigan, on
account of the extremely cold wealth
er. When we realize that the Their
mometer goes down just as low in
Kent County as it does in the north
ern part of the State, we soon aban-
don the cold weather idea.
This insect has gradually worked
north and is now with us, and the next
thing is to know the ways Of con-
trolling it.
Methods of Control.
The San Jose Scale infests practi-
cally all portions of its host plants
that are above ground-the trunk,
limbs and branches-and when album
dant it may occur on the leaves and
fruit. Injury results from the ex-
traction by the scale insects of the
juices of the plant. At first this mere
ly checks growth, but as the insects
increase in number the speedy killing
of the branches and twigs follows, re
sulting finally in the death Of the
plants.

Plants Usually Infested.

The small pest has been found on
the following host plants: Apple, pear,
peach, ounce, plum, English walnut,
black walnut, poplars, willow, Usage
orange, elm, ash, strawberry, spruce
and cedar.

Means of Distribution.

The San Jose Scale is distributed
from one region to another principally
on nursery stock. Birds may also
carry the young insects, by crawling
on the birds feet and be subsequently
deposited in other trees, sometimes at
distances quite remote. 1t is probable
that the young are blown by strong
winds from tree to tree; and they are
carried by insects such as grasshop-
pers, ladybird beetles, ants, etc.
Control Measures.
