find that our tonnage will exceed that
of last year. The increase in pears
and apples will more than make up
the shrinkage in peaches. With rare
executions we find the membership
well pleased with the work of the As
ISOLATION last year. As evidence Of the
growing confidence in the Association

MANY growers are building hopes
that the government plan will bring
order out of chaos. We believe it will,
but in order to do so it must have the
united support of the growers. The
grower can lend his influence either
by joining the Association or insist
ing that the agency that shall handle
his fruit shall first become member
of the Fruit Growers Agency 1.-THE
government plan). To do otherwise
is, in effect, to destroy that for which
he hopes.
One of the provisions of the uniform
contract is to fix time after which
no more contracts will be taken. That
date has been fixed as June 1st on soft
fruits and July 18th on apples. The
grower must soon decide if he is 60
ing to support or oppose this plan. We
hope that he will decide in favor of
the Association, but above all that he
will give his support to the govern
ment plan.
Yours very truly, @

Letters From the People
Editor Courier Reporter:

Editor Courier-Reporter:
May ask little space to correct
an erroneous impression which seem:
to have been gathered from an article
appearing in your paper two weeks
ago. The fact that the Association is
not going to handle Strawberries this
season has given rise to the belief
that it is not going to handle any fruit
This is mistake. AS soon as straw
berries are out of the way the Associa-
ton will be ready to take care of the
tree fruits of its members. In the
meantime it will take care of its mem
bers in supplying their wants for
srray and other supplies.
The Association had but one pur-
pose in releasing its strawberry ton
mage, and that was to make it pos
sii.ie to get all strawberry growers to-
gether in one organization and thus
get letter results than it could pos
sibly be obtained under any other con-
dition. We will give every possible as
sistance to the Union and when their
mission Las been accomplis ned the
Association will be doing business at
the old stand. There can be no pos
sible reason for doing otherwise. The
unfortunate condition of our ccmpeti-
tors does not apply to us. The Asso-
citation is here to stay because it is an
indispensable institution and its value
to the industry is only measured by
the use the growers make Of il.
Heretofore much of the energy Of
the Association has been expended in
missionary work and extending mar
kets. The former is no longer neces-
sary, as all growers are agreed that
organization is necessary and the lat
ter part of the work has been taken
over by the government under the or
ganization of the Fruit Growers
Agency. The Association will now de-
vote its entire time to the scientific
and economical handling and market
ing Of the fruit.
During the past week our field man.

EAT GREENS FOR 'PEP"
Common, Old-Fashioned Dish is Best
Spring Tonic Says Professor

Spring Tonic Says Professor
The spring often brings us that
tired, worn-out feeling. We some
times call it laziness and sometimes
"spring fever" We seldom use the
things at hand because we do not ap-
preciate their value. Greens, some
times called spot herbs" furnish the
spring tonic cheaply and successfully
and relieve that stirred feeling" Sue
culent vegetables and fruits of all
kinds should form large part Of the
diet.
According to Assistant Professor
Juliet Lita Bane, of the department of
economics at the state college, greens
have little value so far as their nu-
tritive value is concerned, which adds
to their desirability for food at this
season of the year. All winter we have
needed large quantities of food to sup
ply us with heat. We no longer need
this large supply Of heat to keep us
warm, but we feel hungry If our bulk
of food is cut down. Greens furnish
us this bulk without producing the ex-
cess Of heat. Their most important
use is to supply abundant minerals.
The bodily supply of minerals is u.s.
ually depleted during the winter. Some
of these vegetables are Of real value
in the relief Of chronic constipation
and Indigestion. Greens stimulate the
appetite and add variety to the diet
as we'll.
It is better to steam than to boil the
greens, since the soluable mineral
salts are conserved in this way. They
would be dissolved in the water in

SHOT
THRU FOOT

While hunting near the Womans
college yesterday afternoon, Forrest
Hudson accidentally shot himself
through the left foot, badly wounding
and injuring that member. With rare
presence of mind Mr.. Hudson unlaced
and removed his shoe and, using the
strings from the shoe bound them
tightly about his leg above the foot,
stopping, thereby, the flow of blood
from the wound. Mr. Hudson then got
in communication with his brotherin-
law, r. NJ. Atwood, who came after hira
N an auto and carried him to the
Chickasha hospital. The great toe Of
the injured foot was so badly shattered
that it had to be amputated, a portion
of the foot being removed with the toe
Following the amputation, Mr.. Hudson
was moved from the hospital to his
residence at III Minnesota avenue ane
is reported, by DR.. Downey, as resting
easily this afternoon.
