COVE COMMENTS

Working on a ranch as most of
us do as Il one man proposition, it
becomes a matter Of prime import
ance to do the various jobs as eco
nomically and efficiently as pos
sible. Here's my scheme for the
logan patches: First | place my
poles with three single wires, the
topmost as high as | can reach
from the ground about 6 #. in.
the next two wires about IS inches
below each other so that the Der
ries hang in a curtain, each side
which makes for easy picking, all
in sight. The canes twist around
the wires saving the job of tyeing,
except, perhaps occasionally the
bare end; but in most eases they
interlace both ways, the ends can
be left hanging for tips if desired.
To keep the patches clean Of
weeds, | divide, as may be con
venient into chicken runs after the
tips are taken out till fruit is
ready to pick. In the case of
young plants | tried to protect
them with sticks placed around
at two in intervals, but biddy got
her head through and scattered
them about, so | hit upon another
scheme by cutting some old chick
Ell fence and making a circle
around the plants Is inches high
and if biddy does not scratch like
a cat forwards, by the time her
head reached the wire her feet
We're long way off and the plants
We're safe. After the berries are
picked cut away the old wood and
hang the new canes in bunch
clear of the ground (till tipping
time), then turn in the chickens
and let them scratch all they want,
leaving the old canes on the
ground till the leaves fall off as
they make good mulch. When the
old canes are finally taken away
a good dressing of chicken fertil-
izer and another good scratching
and you've done all possible for
successful crop.

IDAHO FAMILY Wis
ITS US THIS WEEK

To-day Leo Il. Schmidt, wife
and son Milton of New Plymouth,
Idaho came over on the Island to
visit the Smock and Noyes famil-
ies-old Idaho friends, for few
days. The Schmidts have motro-
ed from Idaho to all California
points of interest, then northward
TO Portland where they spent
some time, from there to Auburn
where they own some splendid
property, then to Seattle to visit
a sister of Mr.. Schmidt who re
sides there-and then to the
climax of the whole trip 50 they
say, beautiful, winsome, charming
NaShon-Maury Islands. From here
they will return to Idaho to close
up some business, and we are
much in hopes of having them re-
turn soon to the Pacific coast, and
would not be surprised if they
finally locate on our own charm
ing island.
Mrs. Smith and her two daugh-
tiers of Seattle came over with
them to spend one day with us.
Mrs. Smith is a sister of Mr..
Schmidt.

YIELD WRlTE-SHELLED EGGS
Mediterranean Breeds Are Best Suited
for Production-Do Not Make
Good Sitters.

Poultry of the Mediterranean or egg
breeds are best suited for the prOduc-
tion of white-shelled eggs. Reprcsen-
tatives of this class are bred largely
for the production of eggs rather than
for meat production. Among the pop
ulnr breeds of this class are: Leghorn,
Minorcn, Ancona and Andalusian. One
of the outstanding characteristics of
the egg breeds is the fact that they are
classed ms nonSitters. That is, as a
rule, they do not become broody and
hatch their eggs When fowls of this
class are kept artificial incubation and
brOoding are usually employed.

npec1dt OtSpdtch to The Tribune
BOSTON, Sept. 23.-Aside from one
or two important staples, such as
sugar and potatoes, prices are remain
ing we'll at the top in Boston and New
England.
Dealers hold out little encourage
ment in the matter of lower food prices
Tor some time to come. Meats are ex-
tremely high, as are fruits and vcge-
tables. Fresh eggs are 81 a dozen and
upward, and are going higher, pro
ducers declare.
Sugar continued to wholesale at 22h
cents pound and retail at from % ia
70 cents up to few days ago. The
price now ranges from II to 81 cents.

which jobbers and manufacturers dis

Prices Generally Firm
At Department Stores
Reductions IL, Some Lines Are
Noted; Cuts Made by Large
Cotton and WQO[en Plants

While officials of most of the large
department stores agreed yesterday
that there had been reduction in
the prices of some lines of merchan-
disc, they said that in most lines the
prices were firm.
At only one store, McCreery's, it was
admitted that general break in some
lines seemed likely. These lines were
mems clothing, shoes and cotton. The
reason for this probable break was ex-
planned as being the result primarily
of overproduction
At Altman's the opinion was express
ed that there was tendency in few
lines to reduce prices, but that these
reductions were on the whole slight.
Edward c. Caldwell, financial execu-
tive of Wanamaker's, expressed the
belief that there would be lower prices,
but added that he did not think they
ever would reach their pre-war level,
owing to the fact that wages and other
costs Of production would not drop to
that extent.
Looks for Natural Reduction
ain my opinion" said Mr.. Caldwell,
"there will be no big slump-just a
gradual, natural reduction. The public
apparently has emerged from it's recent
era Of extravaganza and has settled
down to a period of real thrift, which
means buying essentials at the best
prices obtainable. For that reason the
normal increase of buying that Will
come with the fall months is not en-

California Price Trend
D01UaaUard Since Nav I
Shoes Is Per Cent Cheaper:
Flour, Sugar and Coffee Ma
eeri0gEy L0acer; Meats Reduced

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s.-The
general trend of prices of food and
clothing in central California has been
downward since May l, when they an
parently reached their peak. Whole
sale shoe prices have dropped 20 per
cent since March and the retail quota
ton rs per cent.
lour. sugar and coffee have dropped
materially in the same period, while
there has been a reduction OF Is ner
cent in the prices of oil and fats. Other
foods generally have followed dairy
products and remain firm, while farm
products. have dropped materially dur
ing the last six weeks.
Meat prices have reached the level
OF October, 1918. The forecast is for
decided drop in the prices of silks,
cottons and woolens and for a contin-
uation of the downward trend in all
food and clothing. There has been q
decided cut in women's suits and o
slight reduction in the price of mems
clothing. A more marked reduction in
the price of the latter is expected.
There has been no drop in mems hats
and none is anticipated
Rents, which have advanced mate
rally during the last year, are expect
ed to remain at the present figures, and
there is no indication of reduction.

No Sleep at Ellis Island
1919 Immigrants Occupy Quar-.
tiers Built for l.5OO

A tempestuous and sleepless night
was experienced by ths Ellis Island
colony Wednesday as a result of the
greatest congestion ever experienced
there. An aficial report made public
yesterday said that 1919 persons were
herded into sleeping quarters built to
accommodate but 1900. Commissioner
Frederick A. Wallis and Mrs. Wallis
were detained at the island until day
break endeavoring to make the immi-
grants as comfortable as possible.
The overcrowding was due, it was ex-
planned, to the simultaneous arrival
Ct six large steamers, bearing thou
sands of newcomers. Some of the ships
were compelled to unload their steer
age passengers Immediately, in order
to make return sailing schedules
Others were packed with Jews fleeing
the war in Poland. Most of the imm-
grants were anxious to leave the ship
in time to participate in Yom Kippur
celebrations.

Pittsburgh Shoes, Food
And Clothing Cheaper
Further Declines Likely Only
Through More Production,
Is Belief of Retailers
Special Dispatch to The Tribu,

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
PITTSBURGH, Sept. ga gradual
recession in prices of shoes. food and
clothing is reported by leading retail
ers here. Prices are slightly below
those of last year, but to what extent
the decline will go, they say, will de-
pend upon the productiveness of labor
Shoes are selling at slightly lower
prices on the whole than last year,
especially in styles not in demand,
such as womens low cuts. Some
grades, such as womens fancy boots,
are little higher. Lower prices are
forecast for next year if the hide mar
ket continues to slump.
Leading retailers report somewhat
lower price in clothing, although mems
suits up to $50 find ready sale. The
decreased price of wool will have little
effect, dealers say, in prices of finished
product. Labor will take no lower
wage, and increased production only
will cause material recession in retail
prices.
Food prices are dropping slowly, and
are about per cent lower on the av-
erage than last year. A gradual, though
not heavy, decline is predicted.
