WHITE ANTS INJURE TIMBERs
insects Enter Wood Wherever II Comes
IN Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams.

Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses In spring
and are sometimes supposed to have
come In from outside. The bureau OF
entomology of the United States De.
partment OF Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are Matched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as indicating nests of
wingleSs white ants working destrue-
tiOn in the timbers.
These insects, which really are not
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever It comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center az
an upright beam without manifesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
a settling and cracking of the build

UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Prices and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

without uniform standards for farm
produce there is no recognized basis
for the business OF buying and selling,
says the bureau Of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Standardization OF products gives
seller and purchaser a common lam
guage and set quality upon which
prices may be compared and fixed Elk
perienee has shown that the products
which are sold by grade find a better
market, bring letter prices, and can be
handled at less expense than thosN.sold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities, such as American
Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat
oats, and for small fruit containers
These Federal standards apply only
when the product is intended for In
terstate or foreign coYmerce. It is
highly important to secure state CO
operation SO that the provisions that
apply to a few products Will apply to
all that are offered for sale.

KEEP CHICKS IN
BEST CONDITION
Young Fowls When Old Enough
to Shift for Themselves
Must Be Given Care.
NEGLECT IS CAUSE or LOSS
Bulletin Given Out by Department OF
Agriculture Especially for Begin
ners Gives Essentials for
Proper Growth.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculturel
The enthusiasm with which many
poultry raisers, particularly begin
ners, start La the spring with young
chicks sometimes lags as the season
advances ana the chicks get old
enough to shift for themselves. If care
is neglected at this period, however,
success is improbable. The baby
chicks may be smart little fellows
from strong, vigorous parent stock,
and they may have been brooded care
fully for the first two or three weeks,
but unless they receive proper care
and management during their later
growing period they will not develop
properly, and many of them will be
lost by sickness and disease. This is
the timely warning made by poultry
men of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin I'LL, Management of Growing
Young Chicks" published by the de-
partment, in which is given the essen
tials to proper growth and develop
ment of chicks. The bulletin is writ
ten briefly and in simple terms for be-
ginners, especially members of boys
and girls poultry clubs.
Suitable Food and Care.
The chief essentials to the proper
growth Of chicks, according to the bull
letin, are good cOOps, or houses, clean
illness, proper feed and water, shade
and free range. Growing chicks
should be provided with large, roomy
cocps or houses, which will give them
a comfortable place to stay at night
and during stormy weather. The bull
letin suggests no particular kind of
house, but states it should be so built
that 1t will provide the chicks with

plenty Of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded In
brood cOops, for crowding will cause
them to become oyerheated, resulting
In improper growth and sometimes In
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
In unclean quarters, and In such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, ehaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and If found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin lilo gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large a quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists Of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty OF 1t
If they have free range, but IL kept In
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage. lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
gided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can be obtained it should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
is regarded better for them. When
this Is given the amount OF beef scran
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty Of fresh, clean water Is
absolutely necessary, and in hot
weather it should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
onRllly cleaned
me bulletin emphasizes the impor-
lance OF free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
Il chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
velop into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range they
obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things. therefore
they require less grain and are less

change Here Among
Other Improvements

With an extensive program for
the improvement and extension cf
telephone exchanges In cities az
Oregon outside of Portland. the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company Will enter the new year
with projects under way in seven
cities and Immediate plans for
four other municipalities, accord.
ing to an announcement made
today.
Quarter Million Spent
The total amount to be spenv
on these projects Is $250, $50.
Much OF the new work has been
necessitated by the rapid growth
of the communities where the
work is being carried on. This
work involves the setting of 1If0
telephone poles and the stringing
of 1850 wire miles Of telephone
line. but does not take into con-
sideration two Of the projects for
which detailed plans have not yet
been worked out
The two cities in which addi%s
tions to the telephone exchanges
are being engineered are Salem
and Corvallis. AT the former place
total of $25,O00 will be spent
and at the latter $4,000. The
program In these two cities will
be for general relief of exchanges.
In two cities the work has beeA
completely mapped out but hau
not been started. These locale
ties are Eugene and Heppner.
where expenditures Of $4s,SOO
and $9730 will be made respec-
lively
At Eugene the work includes
the placing of 323 poles, approx
imately 10000 feet of cable cou,
tanning S89 wire miles, the lay.
ing of $500 feet of underground
cable and the stringing Of 3a
miles of various kinds OF aerial
wire. AT Heppner the working
program includes the placing oe
50 poles, approximately $500. feet
of aerial cable and 10 wire milea
Of aerial line. This win improve

$14,620. At all these places the
work is already under way and
at klamath Falls the program Is
near completion.
The klamath Falls program
called for the erection of 40 new
poles, the stringing of 1900 feet
of aerial cable, the stringing Of
1900 feet of aerial wire and

Capper Tells
Reason For
Senate Bloc

Washington, Dec. 26.-The ag-
ricultural bloc came into being as
a logical result of the situation
existing among the farmers Of the
country and will dissolve itself in
to thin air Immediately that situ-
ations is solved, according to SEN
ator Capper OF Kansas.
He declared all the alarm about
this group of agriculturalias in
the national legislature is without
adequate foundation. In his an
nual message, President Harding
complained about this bloc, and
Secretary Weeks also recently took
wsack at 1t. Capper said the
group was not a defiance Of any
thing or anybody, but was merely
for the purpose of seeing that the
farmers got what was due them
He said the farming industry was
In state Of absolute collapse at
the present time. Farms capable
of producing thirty-two billions of
new wealth annually are In the
very worst possible shape, he said
Both young and old men are get
ting away from the soil to 60 to
the cities, and those who stay be-
hind cannot afford to buy seed,
tools, etc. Neither can they af-
ford to pay the present wages de-
manded by farm help. These con-
ditions resulted in a tacit under
standing among senators from the
west and south, moth republicans
and democrats, to do everything
in their power to relieve the farm
er.
Senator Capper said that. the
! American farmer was today the
only business man In the world
who always sells at wholesale and
always buys at retail.
1T was not the agricultural
bloc which put over the emergency
tariff measure, but another
group" Capper said. He declared
senators who thought alike on any
given question were warranted In
getting together and working as a
unit. He pointed to New Eng
land manufacturers, New Yorl
bankers and other industries
which took similar means OF OBJ,
tanning desired legislation in con.
gress.
