GIBSON URGES SUGAR
AND FLOUR SAVING

To the people of Hood River Coun-
ty:
A severe shortage in sugar has
made it necessary for the Federal
+ tCod Administration to restrict city
purchases to two pounds and rural
purchases to five pounds. This does
not affect the buying of larger guam
titles on the sugar card for canning
and preserving. This sugar card
should be read closely before it IS
signed. Those who use sugar bought
for canning and preserving for gen.
eral family use violate serious
pledge. Guard your sugar consump-
ton.
The government is anxious that
all white wheat -four shall be return
ed at once. Do a christian duty by
taking any stocks of -four you may
yet have, back to your local grocer

Mr.. APPLE GROWER
Sincerely,
L. B. Gibson

Don't place your order for grading
machine until you have seen the 1915
model CUTLER. A new sorting table
is used, which will reduce your cost OF
sorting by 40 or so per cent. The fruit
is moved across in front of the sorters
and is revolved slowly so that the sort
er can easily see any defects and only
picks out the culls and lower grades.
The predominant grade passes auto
matically into the grader without any
handling by the sorter. and it is this
fact which results in the maximum
output per sorter with minimum cost
per box.
Don't buy machine just because its
first cost is low. It's very easy tc
drop 500 in wages by using an ineftici'
ent grader. CUTLER GRADERS pay
for themselves in short time.
We will have a demonstration ir
Hood River IN the near future, notice
of which will be given in the papres.

INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
FOR APPLE THINNING
(By Gordon G.. Brown

Most recommendation given out
by myself have, during the past sea
son been mainly directed towards
quality in fruit. The aim in this
article is to discuss orchard practice
from the same standpoint. Again
wish to emphasize the absolute need
OF high quality in fruit this year,
particularly with reference to sizes.
Various selling organizations this
past spring have repeatedly urged
that small-sized apples will not be
acceptable in quantity this fall. This
fact was closely reflected in returns
for the 1917 crop, prices being low
for small fruit The grower should
keep in mind constantly that tenn
porarily our export market, which
heretofore consumed a large per-
Centage of our small fruit, is gone
and that our fruit crop this year
must be sold at home and apparent
ly as it now seems with keen com
petition. The Eastern apple crop is
large and there have been unmistak-
able rumblings from Eastern grow
ers that their market belongs to
themselves. Where then does the
Western fruitgrower get off, who
produces small fruit the market
doesn't want and won't pay for when
the apple crop is large, especially in
view Of the alarming advance in
freight rates?
The writer urges the grower to
take no chances upon this point this
year. Better be safe than sorry
The importance of irrigation and
cultivation has been discussed in
previous articles. Their relation to
the point in question is evident.
Just now the problem of thinning
is at hand. First, let me urge that
lutIt is HOtIllus W Oe gained III IuT

tree will be wasted in apples which
finally will be thinned off This is
not to suggest, however, that those
y no do delay thinning beyond the
normal season should let it go alto
gether There is much evidence tc
STOW that thinning as late as Aug
ust Is may do much in improving
sizes and color, but such thinning
could scarcely be expected to accom-
plish as much as where early thin
ming had been done. II is quite evl
dent now what fruit will remain up
on the tree so that thinning may be
safely done.
The first question to be consider
ed is. How much fruit should the
tree carry? This cannot be answer
cd in any definite number of boxes
The age of the tree will have a gooG
deal to do with this There is a biz

WARNING OF ENEMIES
WHO DESPOIL GARDENS
New Jersey Seeks Prosecution
of Those Who Destroy War
Crops

Calling on all good citizens and par
ticularly patriotic boys, to be on the
alert against public enemies who injure
or destroy war garden crops, Secretary
Alva Agea, Of the state Department Of
Agriculture, issued this statement today;
"Our national and state Governpents
are urging patriotic citizens to produce
as much food as possible In home gar
dens, so that staple products from the
farms will go freely to our Allies, whose
need Is very great, Last year numerous
complaints were made that gardens were
destroyed by marauders and crops
stolen, oftentimes before they had any
particular food value Some persons are
afraid to plant gardens on account OF
lack OF security
'The detection and punishment of
these public enemies necessarily rest
with local authorities, and the Depart
ment OF Agriculture desires that the rep
resentative of the State council OF de-
fense i'm each township and other mu-
inequalities Of the State assist IN secur-
ing convictions and forward TO the de-
partment all addresses of guilty parties,
in order that the Government may have
a more complete list OF those who are
unpatriotic and enemies Of our country.
patriotic boys throughout the State
can render assistance to our Govern
ment at this time by securing the facts
when an injury has been done TO the
gardens and reporting at once 10 the
proper local official, and our Depart
ment Of Agriculture would like to make
an honor roll Of all boys who give in
formation that leads TO conviction Of a
person destroying or stealing food when
our allies are hungry"
