LIMITATION ACT
PRECLUDED FARM

Even though the Legislature had
seen fit to grant an appropriation of
SIS, 600 for the maintenance of branch
of the Oregon experiment station in
the valley, according to an opinion
rendered by District Attorney Derby
for the county court, the court, under
the recently adopted initiative six per
cnt tax limitation measure, would have
been precluded from making pur-
chase of the site of proposed exper.
mental farm. At budget meeting of
the court held the latter part of last
December, it was proposed that the
county apportion form this years tax
levy the sum of $1,000 as part pay!
ment on the proposed farm, sites for
which have been offered the court at
figures from $500 to $500. How
ever, to have acquired the tract
the county court would have been
pressed to the necessity of executing
notes or pledging the credit of the
county to the amount of the balance of
above the $1,000 partial, payment.
District Attorney Derby's opinion was
to the effect that such a procedure
would constitute a notification of the
intent of the tax limitation act.
Experimental work in Hood River
county will not be discontinued. While
no farm plot is available, the county
has appropriated the sum Of 81, 1000 an
nually and this sum is supplemented
by an appropriation of So, 900 from the
legislature for maintenance of local
experimental work. Twelve prominent
East Side orchardists have organized
an association, offering their orchard
tracts to experiment station represen-
tatives for demonstration work. for
the purpose of aiding in the solution of
problems on which work is now being
done.

YORKER PROTESTS
IMPORTED FRUIT

The inroads in recent years of mar
keting agencies of Pacific coast state
box apple sales agencies in the mar
kets of the larger eastern cities has
aroused to indignation New York apple
growers according to Z. w. Birge.
Western box apples have been selling
in the very cities of the New York
apple districts, to the exclusion of the
home grown product.
At the 62nd annual convention of the
Western New York Horticultural Soci-
ETY., held recently at Rochester, Chas.
Wilson, of Albany, state commissioner
Of agriculture for the state of New
York, expressed an indignation at such
condition. As an evidence that the
New York growers will probably en-
deavor to meet the competition of the
extra fancy Northwestern product by
the adoption of different grading rules.
Mr.. Birge shows the following clip
ping from the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
Secretary Wilson said that vast
quantities of apples were imported
yearly into New York from the West
in place of home products.
My indignation was aroused last
winter when | walked along the streets
of Rochester, for right here in the
heart of the New York apple belt were
apples, raised not in local orchards,
but on the Pacific slope, from the or.
chards of Washington and Oregon,
three thousand miles away. Every
fruit stand seemed to be supplied with
this fruit, while our own apples were
unobtainable.
Il Immediately sent agents of the
department to investigate. After
study of the situation they brought
back reports that thousands of boxes
of western apples are sold annually in
Rochester. Apparently they are pre-
ferred to our own. There must be a
reason for this.
Among other conditions dis
covered and reported was the informa-
tion that restaurants preferred three
grades of apples. There are the first
class hotels that demand a large, fine
apple that can be baked and served
with cream at 20 cents, the larger res
taurants that demand an apple of me-
dium size that can be served at 10
cents, and the smaller restaurants
want the smaller apples that can be
sold for five cents each In other
words, this part of the trade demands
apples of uniform size. Color has
something to do with the demand, es-
pecially for the table fruit, and the
general uniformity of the pack has a
bearing. There is no reason that can
not be controlled for the condition that
exists. What is true. of the Rochester
apple market is true also of those of
Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, New York
city and other places" "

O.-W. Co. Distributes Corn Cook Book

The O.-W. R. & N. Co. is now dis
tributing practical cook book, a well
come addition to the kitchen library of
any housewife. The new booklet tells
so ways of serving corn.
For some years this company has
conducted vigorous corn campaign in
the Northwest, educating the farmers
in the proper methods of growing corn !;
has distributed many tons of seed to
growers, and held corn show annual
ly where thousands of dollars in prizes
have been awarded.
These campaigns have demonstrated
the fact that not only can corn be sue
cessfully grown in the Pacific North
west, but that 1T is one of the most
profitable crops either for marketing
or for stock feeding that can be grown.
"In introducing this little cook book,
which is for free distribution, we hope
to stimulate the greater use and en-
phasize the value of corn for table
purposes" says VIM. McMurray, gen.
real passenger agent.

CITY FOLKS GROAN
AT new TAX BILLS

First tax statements were received
Saturday by the citizens of Hood Riv-
er, and the 40 per cent increase in the
taxes on city property over last year
has raised a chorus of complaints from
city residents. The sharp increase in
city taxes was occasioned gby the .ac.
tion on the part of the county court,
headed by Former County Judge STAN
ton, in levying the funds for county
road construction Under the heading of
general fund and emitting the road
fund. Through this procedure the city
is made to pay lions share of the
road money. Because of this method
of collecting the road funds, the city's
taxes are increased this year to the
extent of $4,000.
The total tax to be collected by
Sheriff johnson this year reaches the
sum of $240, 900.

Berry Carnival is Proposed

Because of the inclement weather
that often prevails over the valley at
the season of apple blossoms, the sug-
gestion made by William Davidson, a
Barrett orchardist, that Hood River
citizens the coming year hold formal
strawberry carnival in celebration of
the harvest of Clark Seedlings instead
of the usual blossom fiesta, is meeting
with an increasing approval.
Mr.. Davidson proposes that visitors
to the valley during the carnival days
be given free of charge their fill of
ripe Strawberries.

River, too" says Mr.. Davidson, "and
there should be no scarcity of rich,
