In yield to the acre Of spring wheat
the Colorado average this year ia
twenty-four bushels-nearly twice the
average for the entire country, which
Is only III bushels.
In production Of oats, Colorado this
year ranks twenty-first among the
states, although much farther down

tion, and the average yield to the acre
In Colorado this year is forty bushels,
or more than IS per cent above the
average for the entire United States.
iowa is the greatest oats state, and
the average yield to the acre In Iowa
Is only 81 per cent Of Colorado's.
In production OF barley, Colorado
this year ranks tenth among the
states. with 100000 bushels; and
colorado also is tenth among the

acre-while the average for the entire
country Is only 81 bushels.
Colorado ranks fifteenth among the

Germans to Renew Attacks.
There Is every evidence, however,
that the Germans intend to renew
their attempt to force their way

tion and guns, but at the same time
are taking the precautlon to prepare
a second line Of defense, should their
forward movement again meet with
defeat.
The new attempt, 1t is believed, will
be made further inland, for the failure
OF the first one was largely due to the
bombardment that the troops and ar.
tillery had to undergo from the Brit
ish and French warships of the coast
Of Belgium.
This cessation of heavy fighting
seems to have extended along the line
as far as Arras. and the result of 1t
all is that the Germans, while they
have suffered heavy losses and have
inflicted similar punishment on the
Allies, are farther away from the
French coast than they we're at the
beginning Of the battle.

Action of Boundary Board INDICATED

Aug. 81, 1914.
Editor Glacier: Some msstatements
in the papers regarding the recent ac-
tion Of the district boundary board in
transferring a number of property hold
eTs from FranktOn to the Barrett
school district makes il necessary to
publish the facts relating thereto.
One year ago, when there was no
high school question at issue, a number
of people in the transfer requested to
be transferred for the following reas-
ons:
/. The children concerned would
save from o /. mile per day.
2. Pupils would use Methodist Lane,
practically level. smooth, dry road
way instead of the steep, unimproved
Frankton hill roadway.
This year two more patrons wished
to be transferred to the Barrett dist
rict, and the following additional rea-
son given: Pupils would have the ad-
Vantages of a standard high school in
being sent to Hood River. The ac-
tion Of the bondary board was taken
after an auto trip over the two roads
in question and after everyone wishing
to express themselves in the case was
heard.
This statement is made without the
knowledge or solicitation of the bouu-
Diary board.

Correspondent Comments on Waste

sept. Z, l9l4.
Editor Glacier: With the large crop
Of apples in the United States and the
exemption of fungus marked apples in
certain of the states; also the curtailed
market owing to the European war,
many growers are doubtless wondering
what they are going to do with the
large percentage of their crop. The
cider mill seems to be the only outlet
and their capacity is very limited.
What else remains but to feed them to
stock, which is a very poor return, or
dump them out.
An article in the Morning Oregonian,
page 6 of August 81, shows the waste
in the northwest of 20, 600 tons of good
sound healthy apples last year, These
apples eVaporated would have made
II, 600, 600 pounds of dried fruit worth
approximately $1,000, 600. If this was
the waste last year which was an av-
erage good marketing year, what will
be the waste this year?
The fruit grower is in the unique po-
stlOn of being the only producer of
good stutfs in the country who does not
seem to be going to benefit by this
war, because his production is luxury
and perishable.
Should the war last for three years
as Earl Kitchener predicts, or even one
year, Europe is going to require all the
-perlshable food stutfs the world
can produce. Grain is the principal
food stuff, but man cannot live on
bread alone. He must have vegetable
matter to keep in bodily health 1t
seems to me that dried apples are the
best unperishable vegetable matter to
fill the bin, as their bulk is small and
therefore easy for transportation. This
being the case our apples can be turned
into necessity and we will rank with
the other farmers in having something
to sell which the nations will require.
One would think that Hood River
with all her storage capacity is better
equipped to dry her apples than any
other district in the northwest. The
plant cannot he very expensive one.
This seems to me to be a fighting
chance to turn poor year into a good
one at least it is worth looking into.
This is no year for waste.

No ADVERTISING MEnIIIM

While the Columbia river highway
will be one Of the greatest mediums Of

had never given the matter any serious

highway is to be built for the purposes
Of pleasure, and at the same time to
