three times during the heat of the
summer causes the tree to almost
cease growing operations for that
many week to ten-day periods.
Second, the soil is exposed to the
heat of the sun, causing a wasteful
evaporation of moisture and aggravat-
ing any water shortage.
Third, the removed of the shade from
the soil causes soil temperature to rise
to point which is not favorable to
bacterial action. Bacteria in the soil
liberate imprisoned plant food for the
trees.
Fourth, valuable nitrates are re-
moved by the cutting of a leguminous
crop. In the average year a ton of
alfalfa hay is worth as much for the
nitrogen fertilizer it carries as it will
return if sold for feed.
Fifth, the loss from the removal
of humus forming material by cutting
of hay is something which we are not
yet able to estimate in dollars and
cents; however, the loss is great. HUI
mus Or decayed plant material stores
water when there is an abundance and
gives water to the tree roots when
there is shortage, thereby, helping
to equalize the available water sup
ply in the soil. Humis ferns acids
which act chemically on the rock par
>ticles of the soil and liberate phos-
pilates, potash and other mineral salts
needed by the trees. IIumus makes
favorable living conditions for the
highly desirable soil bacteria.
Summarizing all of the above. the
two recommendation for increasing
the size of this years fruit as we'll as
to help restore injured trees are: First,
a liberal supply of water, given to the
trees early and maintained through
the summer; second, the leaving Of all
cover crop growth in the orchard to
be disced down in the fall. ~
After we have had opportunity to
see how much damage Jack Frost is
going to do, it will be time to discuss
thinning which is another important
factor in the production of large,
clean, high grade fruit. >E

PIONEER DIES AT HOVER
William X. Brown Passes Away at
Home of Daughter-Came to
Oregon in 1885

William r. Brown died at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. F. Spears in
Hover, Washington, April %, 1921,
at the age of "a years.
Funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. Burris of Finley, at noon,
Saturday, the 23rd. At the end of
the services the burial party departed
on Train No. for The Dalles, Ore
gon, where interment was made.
William Rufus Brown was born near
Knoxville, Tennessee, October 8, 1847.
He moved to Oregon in 1885 where he
settled permanently in The DalIes,
which was then only small town.
Here he lived for about 80 years and
it was here he did his life's greatest
work.
He was very public spirited, honest
and industrious and was employed by
the city for many years on its public
works. AS foreman and contractor he
helped to make The Dalles the clean,
beautiful city that it is today.
Through all the troubles and vicissi-
tudes of his life he moved forward in
resolute, steadfast way. About
eight years ago he quit active labor
and came to make his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Spears at Hover. Be-
ing Of very patriotic spirit, when
the war broke out he felt he must do
his bit so he was engaged as watch
man by the S. p. & S. railway about
four miles west of Hover where for
several years he paroled the track be-
fore the midnight trains at bad rock
slide.
Last fall he suffered general break
down of health from which, on account
of his age, he never recovered. Twice
married and the father of seven chill
dren, he is survived only by his two
daughters, Mrs. Myrtle E. Spears of
Hover, and Mrs. Minnie Perry, of
Pasco, and one son, Harvey, who is
in the u. S. navy, eight grandchildren
and two great grandchildren.

HOLDERS

The Union Pacific railroad is set
ting great example in its system
Of enabling all employees to become
stockholders.
It's system of dealing directly with
its thousands of employees on a par
tial payment plan is being taken up
by other large companies.

Managers of large public service

THE NEW HEN
By w. E. Vaplon, Colorado
Agricultural College

A new hen is slowly but surely
coming to the front in eastern Colo
RADIO. Some Of our people are slow
to make her acquaintance, but those
who know her have adopted her for
good. The woman who feeds the old
hen. the mongIel producing just
enough eggs and meat to pay for
her board and room, is as far be-
hind as the dairyman who milks
range cows for butterfat.
The new hen eats no more and
requires no more house room than
the old hen, but to do her best she
should have better shelter than is
provided for the hen we have fed
for so long; not more feed but more
variety is needed, and little more
attention to comfort and cleanliness
will be fully repaid.
1 do not know what to call her
as she is of many sizes and cOlors,
or, but for want of a better name
we will call her THE Business
Hen" She is we'll bred, pure bred !;
the pure bred animal of whatever
kind is bred to an end, for maxi
mum production as minimum cost.
She lays ten dozen eggs a year,
with plenty of time to spare for a
three months vacation for the mott.
Hatched at the right time, fed a va
riety of things that may be raised
on the home farm, kept in sanitary
surroundings, in her pullet year,
she will lay when eggs are high in
price But you cannot raise her by
the hit and miss method; under the
old conditions or survive or perish,
she will not make good
She believe in house cleaning Of
tener than once a year; she believes
with Bill Nye that "A few fleas are
good for dog" but does not be-
lieve in many lice, mites, or bed
bugs for a hen. She likes bath
on Saturday evening and this is not
usually provided in winter. She
belongs to the girls canning club
and believes in greens out of sea-
son, something fresh and succulent
when nature does not provide 1t.
Root crops and alfalfa will fill the
bill. Of course, she likes all kinds
Of grain, but a mash at noon on a
cold day is like chicken soup to a
man. The mash is a good way to
cheaper the fod cost; Gull potatoes,
boiled mashed and mixed with bran
cannot be improved upon for din
ncr.
The business, hen is not in favor
of Dry Colorado; she objects to
a dry or dirty dish water; she also
relishes dish of milk. Plenty OF
milk, especially buttermilk or sour
milk, from the beginning to the end,
means health, quick maturity, more
eggs

half way point, and it is believed

end of the road which is in better
condition that the east end. Sew
eral persons in Holbrook have been
communicated with in an effort to
get Simultaneous action.
Word that Governor T. E. Camp
bell Of Arizona had vetoed the Ada
nana-Lupton road came as bitter
disappointment to the Chamber of
Commerce last Wednesday morning,
the more SO as the passage Of the
bill by the legislature had been Sc
cured in the face of stiff opposition
md had cost the Chamber Of Com
merce nearly $500.
But plans were Immediately
launched to meet the situation, and
party OF road boosters, led by w
w. Porter, Chairman of the Roads
Committee OF the Chamber of Com
merce, r. F. Smalling, one Of the
directors, r. ]. Pritchard, secretary
W. E. Clarke. D. Rollie, Sam Wood
and Homer Powers Immediately went
over the road as far Sanders to see
what work should be done to make
the road Immediately available.
1t was found that as far as San
ders, which is conceded to be the
worst part of the road, the highway
was in excellent condition. The trip
back. a distance of so miles was
made in two hours and Ave minutes
over as good country road as the
tourist will find anywhere. However
there were several rough spots, and
two or three places where the road
will be inundated after rain, and
it was felt that these places should
be repaired.
1t is not believed that the work
OF even several hundred persons in
one day will completely repair the
road. but present plans include the
following up of this work by the EN-.
ployment Of several teams and crews
on the road until at least the worst
spots have been adequately worked
The road Is in such condition at pre-
sent, 1t was stated that very little
work will be required to put it in
first class shape, and in such con-
dition that bad weather will have
comparatively little effect upon it.
The Winslow mail., 1921-04-01

Way back in 1912 it was stated in
bulletin issued from the office Of
public roads of the department of
agriculture that there were proba-
bly, 500 automobiles during that year
that made an tour across the entire
continent and that they distributed
a million dollars on this trip. II
500 automobiles did that how I'm
portant is the present traffic which
goes motoring through Winslow ap-
proximating $4,000 cars annually.
About that time the Denver Cham
ber of Commerce showed that 5000
automobiles visited the state of Col
orado and that they spent $2,700,000
in that state alone. Last year there
were times in Denver when 5000
automobiles were camped at one
time in their municipal camping
grounds. When you consider these
figures you must grant that this traf-
fic is a most beneficial and desira-
BILE one for any state or community.
If this is granted, then there must
be an incentive for every citizen to
get out and do his part to see that
the benefits Of this traffic are deriv-
ed as much as possible by the COM
munity in which he resides. This
is something for the people of Win
slow to think about, particularly in
face of the fact that there is much
disappointment in not obtaining road
appropriations to improve such VI
tai stretches OF the National Old
Trails road between Holbrook and
Lupton towards Gallup, New Mexico.
Don't read this like an ordinary
news item. Stop and think about 1t
and what it means to you and every
other person in the community and
in the state of Arizona. 60 per cent

fic passing through it. Because we
have been shipwrecked and lost our

we should not build another and a

Gates that it is political maneuv-
er." 1t does not matter what the
circumstances. Or whether or not
there is any truth in the situation
the one thing that arises above all
others is the evident generalization
of obtaining some financial liquida-
ton for the alleged indiscretions.
The chances are that il any Of us
were in the United States senate we
might be embarrassed by a similar
situation and perhaps the only rea-
son we have not been embarrassed is
because we have sustained our more
humble petition in the world. In
80 cases out 100 the arrow of pub
licity's scandal is directed by some
mercenary motive to obtain remun-
Grafton, and when that is obtained
as 1t is many an unknown instance,
further publicity ceases. Such en-
entanglements are world wide. They
exist in every known country and in
every age. And there seems no
probability Of their ceasing to exist
in coming centuries. We don't
know anything about the truth or
the circumstances that have brought
about this charge, or whether or not
there are any facts connected with
allegations, and we don't know that
it matters much to us personally,
but the motives that are generally
behind such actions as this can gen.
orally be considered questionable. 1t
Is good deal like having some
good friend enticing you to take a
drink and then arrest you for being
drunk, or, come through" and save
yourself the humiliation. This is no
brief for Ralph Cameron. He proba-

mental soliloquy put into words.

PLAN IS COMMENDABLE

The bankers of Oklahoma are re-
ported to be urging the merchants
and others engaged in bushes in that
state to adopt a plan Of cash reserve,
or surplus, to tide them over emer-
gency situation and furnish protec-
ton against temporary dullness in
trade. Many business men who have
never followed this policy are said
to have adopted the advice of the
bankers, recognizing the wisdom and
safety Of this plan. Most of the
larger busines concerns already fol-
low this plan, but it is not so COM
mon among the smaller ones. who
have failed to consider the obvious
advantage of providing reserve
fund as a matter Of protection and
insurance against unexpected emer-
gencies. Thus are the banks help
ing to educate the public along lines
that will avert financial difficulties.

SOME POULTRY DATA

All our yesterdays are history and
all our tomorrows unknown prob
lens; it is the improbable that hap
pens. Nevertheless we are going to
indulge ourselves in a little .ref1ec-
tic on both, particularly as concerns
the poultry business. If poulery
farming was profitable in 1890 (as
many claim it is reasonable to as
sumo that under Intelligent manage
in 1921 especially if reliof in the way
of tariff is experienced from WASH
ington Possibly a few figures VIII
be illuminating.
According to George Crowley vet
eran poultry supply man, OF San
Francisco, the cost of feed per hen
in 1920 was S3.55. Income from
eggs per hen in flocks averaging ten
dozen eggs at 81 cents was $50;
net return above feed cost, $1.55; in
come from hens in fOcks averaging
twelve dozen at 54 cents, $6.4S; net
returns above feed costs, $2.93; in
come from eggs in focks averaging
fourteen dozen at 81 cents, $7.98; net
return above feed cost, SAB. The
estimated cost Of feed per hen for
twelve months in 1921 is $3.50; the
income from eggs per hen in flocks
averaging ten dozen at 33 cents,
$3.50; net return above feed cost, 81;
income from eggs per hen in focks
averaging twelve dozen at 35 cents,
$420; income from eggs per hen in
flocks averaging fourteen dozen at
81 cents, S5.18; net returns above
fed cost, S2.8S.
We will not assume that these fl
cures will "stand" under all condi-
tions; but we are quite positive that
they do demonstrate that it is only
the prolific hens that are the big
factors to consider in commercial
egg farming
