DAVIDSON NOT WOR-
RIED BY FREEZE

The continually decreasing value Of
the pound sterling or exchange is hav-
ing a serious effect on apple exports.
Foreign exchange is lower. writes
H. F. Davidson, (which, of course,
makes exporting that much more un-
satisfactory. We are sending over a
few apples but are using the domestic
markets as much as we can.
Mr.. Davidson is not alarmed over
the December freeze. His letter con-
tinues:
Il am pleased to read in the papers
that the freeze did not damage the
fruit trees as much as was at first
thought. | remember good many
years ago when | thought all the
young apple trees in Hood River were
killed, as we could not find any that
did not show more or less bloWnish
color on the thin bark next to the wood.
This probably affected the growth of
the tree for the first year, but very few
of them were killed. | presume the ex-
perience this year is about the same. "

cd States Department of Agriculture.
Farm management studies in the Sou
thern States indicate that the most
profitable farms not only produce the
necessary farm feeds but have sur
plus of them to sell, and that the live
stock is usually of better quality and
better grade on the farms producing a
surplus than on farms where satple
feeds are bought. These facts are
brought out in series Of 16 tests for
mulated by the Department of Agri-
culture to show whether or not farm
is being efficiently managed.
The average farm family, made up
Of five adult persons or their equiva-
lent, requires for it's proper mainten-
ancc COWS, DO fowls for furnishing
eggs and poultry meat, and 1 pig for
each adult person or his equivalent.
Enough calves should be raised to re-
place. each COW reaching the age of 8
years. This family live stock, it is cal
