WALES EXAMPLE

One cannot after considering the
matter, help admirlng the spirit
shown by the men in Vale who have
gone ahead in their effort to form a
loan association to furnish money 10
the ranohers OF that section, with
which to buy dairy COWS.
This spirit is manifested in the
face OF real difficulties. and is for a
constructive work. II is the kind
Of work that any community should
do, but under the circumstances one
would not have held the Vale men
derelict had they declined to under
take II at this time. Yet they have
and they deserve the greater credit.
They are making there a real con-
struotiye effort to help the farmer.
They are not just talking about help
ing him, they are getting out and
showing their faith in the farmer by
putting up some OF their money for
his temporary use. And money talks
louder than words.
The Argus cannot bring itself 10
the belief that the business men and
bankers OF Ontario are less respon-
siye 10 the idea OF community duty
than the business men and bankers
OF Vale. who have united to furnish
real means for assisting their
farmer friends TO secure dairy cows
and thus solve not, their problem
alone, but the problem OF the busl-
ness men as we'll.
II Ia all very we'll TO say that II
the farmer wants to do something

for the building up OF the dairy In

munity service. He Is aiding to
put the business OF every business

Oregon has awakened TO the dan
ger In which her highways have
been placed by the excessive loads
which truck men have carried over
them. This is the most hopeful
sign that has come to the men who

past few years. For with the COM

are In danger will come means for
their protection.
The people OF the state appreci-
ate the two fold injustice to them
selves which the truckmen inflict.
They realize that thru their high
auto licenses they are providing the
first essential for the truck business
at almost no cost TO the truck men,
who are In direct competition with
the railroads. taking business from

5000 Blu. Decline in States Pear Crop

A big reduction is shown in the pre-
ductiOn of pears by Delaware frui
growers in the last ten years, accord
ing to figures of the Census Bureau
from the 1920 census. The total pro-
duction of pears in the State in 1920
totaled 97,703 bushels, as compared
with 105,347 bushels in 1909. There

bearing trees in the last ten years. On
January 1, 1920, there were 249,375
bearing trees in the State as compared
with 449,692 in 1909. To offset the
decrease in the production of pears the
departments report shows a consider
able increase in production of plums.
Growers of the State reported for
1920 the production of 59,561 bushels
of plums as against 22,597 in 1909.
There were 1898 bearing trees in

BIG STORM WAS GENERAL

The biggest snow storm and worst
blizzard of the Winter commenced
here last Sunday afternoon about s
o'clock and the snow continued fall
ing until early Tuesday morning. 1t
is generally estimated that about
three feet of snow fell during that
time, but the heavy wind that pre-
vailed during most of the time drift
ed the snow so much that no level
could be obtained. All travel was
tied up during the storm. and several
auto parties that went out into ad-
jacent valleys last Sunday for an out
ing had to extend their visit and were
unable to return home for several
days. While the storm caused the
suspension of all sheep shearing In
this section, and the cold caused the
loss of few shorn sheep, the big
snow fall will prove of inestimable
value to the ranches and range lands.
This storm was general over the
entire Pacific slope and extended east
into the Middle States. The cold
wave that followed over the entire
country is reported to hove done mil
lions of dollars of damage to the
fruit interests. California reports a
$1O,O00,000 loss In its raisin grape
industry. AS the fruit trees in this
section had not budded out sufficient
ly to have been hurt much by the cold
wave. it is thought little damage was
done here.
