FARMERS TAPPING ORCHARDS.
Snow Is Deep, However, and But Little
Sap Has Run Thus Far-Price High
er than Year Ago.

Although Tuesday was the first official
day of spring, beginning at | l.3S p. M,
there is so much winter left in the lap of
spring that most folks are using last
years maple syrup for their cakes these
mornings. Not enough sap has run yet
and been boiled down to supply the de-
mands of Il score of healthy Youngsters.
Many of the farmers have begun tap
ping their sugar orchards, but it is slow
work for in many of them tile snow is
three and four feet in depth. There has
been only one day when the weather was
such that much sap would run, and but
precious little of the maple product has
been brought into Brattlcboro.
What has come in is of very good
quality, and the price, in accordance with
present custom, is higher than last year
Syrup that retailed last spring early for
Sl.50 and Sl.75 gallon brings today
Sl.7j and 81. Sugar is 20 and % cents a
pound instead of Is at this time a year
ago. A part of this increase in price is
charged to an increase of five cents each
in the cost of tin containers.
Predictions as to the size and quantity
of .-tha. crop 4this.-spring Vary, sonaeyvhi.t
among local experts for two reasons. +.
c. Tenney, manager of the Scott farm,
says that there is comparatively little
frost in the ground and that fact may
tend to lessen the crop materially.
On the other side men whose sugar or
chards are in less exposed places say that
the snow is yet very deep i'll the woods
and that in some of them it is next to
impossible to break the necessary roads.
There is more likelihood of the sap being
of Il better color when there is snow ON
the ground, however, than when there is
not, and they anticipate, if sap weather
continues Il reasonable length of time -
freezing nights and melting days that
there will be Il good crop.

The First and Only Discovery of It's Kind In Existence


derful work,-and the result is that
"Gets-It" is today the biggest-selling
corn-remover in the whole wide world.
No matter how tough and obstinate
your corn or callus may be, you simply
apply 2 or drops of "Gets-It'' on it. 1t
dries at once. That's all you have to do.
You can put your sock or stocking and
shoe right on, and walk about as though
you had no corn at all The corn begins
to loosen from the true flesh, and then you
can pick it right off like a banana peel.
And your corn is gone

Why make it miserable for yourself by

You needn t take our word for it-youri

isn't any. "Gets-It" does ''all - the work
every time.

make corn-pains still more intense and I'M

ter, it makes your corns pop-eyed and

You can forget you have any corns at
all, if you use ''Gets-It." 1t is unneces-
sary to cut, jab, pick or gouge at your
corns any more in desperate effort to
reduce the pain,-if you use "Gets-It. !"
Cutting corns, anyway, always makes

Methed for Planting Beans

1t has been demonstrated for several
years that good bean crops can be
raised in Hood River. Some points in
general gathered from the experience
of local bean raIsers may be useful,
but the farmer anticipating raising
beans can inquire and find out some
one who has raised them and greatly
add to his information before seeding
them. The crop will require good
hard work, but the price indication is
that it will pay.
The land for seeding should be thor
oughly put in shape both for best con-
dition of soil, eliminating weeds and
for moisture before seeding time.
Just before seeding land should be
fioated so that it is level and smooth
and then marked much in the same
manner as a strawberry field. 1t is
best to plant in rows so that the field
can be worked with horse cultivator.
Light and frequent cultivation is
best. Keep weeds out while growing.
If crop needs water irrigate, but if
moisture can be kept up with cultiva-
tion it is all the better. Do not culti-
vate when vines are moist.
Seeding time is from about the mid
die of May to the middle of June.
Some have planted in seasons past as
early as May 10 and as late as June
20. Sow three or four seeds in hills
from six to eight inches in row. At
harvest time pull the vines and lay in
winrows. Vines can be handled with
fork and should be collected at some
place on the ranch on canvas or
platform where they can be turned and
dried in the sun. Don't let moisture
get on them at this period. After
they are dried they can be threshed.

Fred Paasch Offers Sheriff Arms

Following the call of Sheriff johnson
for the arms of all ALLEN enemies resi-
dent in Hood River county, but single
man, Fred Paasch, responded last
week. Mr.. Paasch told the sheriff that
he possessed shot gun and a hunting
rifle, both of which weapons he offered
to surrender to the possession of the
authorities.
Mr.. Paasch has taken out his first
papers of citizenship and several
months ago applied for final certificate
of naturalization. He came to Ameri-
ca with his parents when a small in
fant. His father, Aug. Paaseh, a
prominent fruit grower and shipper,
failed to secure his final papers while
young Mr.. Paasch was still under age.
Sheriff johnson is one of the witnesses
for Mr.. Paasch in his application for
final citizenship papers.
