Fruit Exposition of Pacific
Northwest Issues Prize List
Show Be Held Bell Street Docks SeattleAtraetve Pre-
miums Decentralization of Small Fruits Interest
Coast Growers
BY r. T. Reid,
President Western Washington Horti-
cultural Association.

The decision of fruit growers of the
Northwest to hold a Fruit Exposition
at Seattle during the week of Novem-
Der 21st to Goth, inclusive, will be of
great interest to horticulturists of the
western part of this state. as it will
enable them to place their products
on exhibition side by side with the ex-
hibits from Eastern Washington or
chards and from the states of Mon
taana, Idaho and Oregon and if proper
care is taken in the selection of fruit
for exhibition western growers need
have no fear of the result.
Very substantial cash prizes are be-
ing offered and it is hoped that west
ern growers will take advantage of
the ample time they have to make
their selections and prepare exhibits
and that display worthy of the
growing industry under modern cul-
tural methods will be made. The
managers of the exposition have ar
ranged to receive and place in cool
storage exhibits Of caTfS -<f.fie I. ir,'t,.i a {

dition at the time of the exposition,
free of charge, and any such exhibits
may be shipped to the exposition
company at the Bell Street Terminal,
Seattle, transportation charges pre-
paid, with assurance that they will be
properly cared for.
AS this exposition will include fruits
of every kind it is believed that many
growers of soft fruits such as straw
berries and loganberries will be able
to make displays under this arrange
ment This exposition is already at
tracing nationwide interest and bids
fair to be the biggest thing of the
kind ever held. Undoubtedly it will
become an annual event and be the
means of attracting the attention of
purchasers of our fruits the world
over.
Any person or organization desiring
specific information should communi
cate with the Northwest Fruit EXPOSE
ton, Bell Street Terminal, Seattle.
The following is suggestion mere
ly of the classes and prizes which
will be taken care Of in our final pre-
MUM list. 1t is, of course, imprac-
ticable to give all of the details of the
various classes in this brief list, but
we are suggesting the extent to which
this exposition will recognize the fruit
industry.
1t goes without saying that we will
recognize every kind Of fruit which is
of economical value to this section.

that hereafter they would not put out

that might mean that you were getting

chards where the fruit is tasteless, or
small and worthless when the trees
bear at all. This is the result OF
agents selling trees they did not know
anything about and the farmer did not
either; so he had to wait ten years to
find out First know the varieties you
want and then order direct from the
nursery and get their written guaran-
tee that the trees are what you have
ordered.
Cherries, pears, plums, apples and
crabs all do well, when not too far
from water. The Royal Ann, the
Bling, the Black Republican and some
other black and red cherries do well.
The sour cherry is the most prolific
and is the best seller. 1t is the only
tree fruit that really pays when rails

grows rapidly, bears young. bears
every year and always finds market.
1t will do well on any kind of land, if

1t needs no pruning or spraying. Plant
sour cherries and you will soon have
an income. Bartlett pears are pro-
life producer and are good for all pur-
poses-the best Gamer, the best for
selling in fall. The family orchard
should have good variety of apples,
pears, cherries. plums, ounce, and
crabs. A small orchard of such fruit
will cut an awfully big hole in the
high cost of living and bring comfort
and joy to the household during the
long winter evenings

HOT BEDS

New home gardeners have their
own hotbeds, and they often fail to
appreciate the value of them in adj
vancing the garden season several
weeks in the spring. Many are re-
luctant about building hotbeds be-
cause of the expense of the material.
Therefore simple frames that cost
little well serve the purpose.
Every grower who has enough
ground to raise the common varieties
of vegetables can afford to build one
Of the simple types of hotbeds to be
used in growing early plants, especi-
ally tomato and cabbage seedlings
that are to be transplanted. A COM
mon plan is to dig a hole 6 feet wide,
from 6 to feel long, and feet deep.
Then fill the hole with fresh manure.
With plenty Of straw in it, packing
it in by tramping. When the work is
finished the material should be heap
ed up about inches above the ground
level.
Build the frame of one inch lum-
Der; set it on the manure and fill in
with four inches of garden soil. The
dirt thrown out in excavating may be
used in banking up around the box
frame, which should be twelve or
fourteen inches high on the north
side and eight or ten inches high on
the south side. Muslin may be used
for the covering if refular glass sash
es or old window sashes are not avail
able. Make the bed early and give
the plants good start.

now. Almost any farmer can get
few cows. If he lacks the knowledge
of how to handle them, there are
abundant sources of information
county agents, bulletins from state
agricultural colleges, and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The rest is simply the same care he
would give to putting in and harvest
ing his grain.
And for the man who now has a
few cows and does not make the
most of them, he should realize that
by allowing the calf to run with the
COW longer than the first week he
is spending ten times as much to
raise that calf as necessary. Milk
the cow thoroughly, separate the but
ter fat, and feed the skimmilk to
calves and pigs. Feed the cows a
real milk-producing ration, then you
will begin to realize something from
them.

TO look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount OF incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the all
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons

STOCKMEN CAN RETAIN
THEIR GRAZING RIGHTS

Notice has been received in the Of
flee of the forest supervisor at Hell
ena, that in order to help the stock
men during the present financial
stringency, as far as is consistent
with good management, the retain
ton of grazing preferences may be
allowed for two years, where for any
valid reason the stockman having an
established preference, is unable to
run any or all of the stock for which
preference has been acquired. Here
tofore, it has not been possible to
retain a preference for more than one
year, where stock has not been actu-
ally under grazing permit.
Persons having established pre-
ferences who do not desire to Craze
stock, but desire to retain their pre-
ferences should take the matter up
with the forest supervisor, in order
that the necessary record may be
made of the retention or preferences.
Unless the record is made, the pre-
ference may be lost.
Authorization has also been receiv-
ed, proving for delaying payment
of the grazing fees until August 1st
Where grazing fees are not paid in
advance, however, an interest cargo
of one per cent per month, or major
fraction thereof will have to be, charg-
ed, the minimum charge for interest
in no case being less than. 100.

COW WILL BE FARMERS
REAL SALVATION

Because the farmer could get a.
satisfactory return by selling his
grain, cotton, or tobacco at high
prices during the past few years, the
dairy cow has been neglected, but,
as in years past, when a condition
arises which interferes with the re-
turn from the regular farm products
the cow is called upon to make up
the shortage. In speaking Of condi-
tions which the majority of American
farmers now face, Professor J. II.
Frandsen, head of the dairy school
at the Nebraska State Agricultural
College, says;
"The situation we are facing to-
day is not so very different from the
experiences that are yet within the
memory of the pioneers of Nebraska.
Sometimes due to drouth and crop
failures, sometimes to low prices and
general hard times. Nebraska should
have been labeled near-failure agri-
culturally had it not been for the
faithful dairy COW. Many times in
the past, when the bottom dropped
out of the wheat market, or the corn
or oats or hay market, or when the
grasshOppers took the wheat and the
hot winds the corn, many a farmer
managed, throu gh the dairy cow, to
pay the grocer bills end other ur-
gent expenses ard many cases
even laid the foundation for his fu-
ture success"
In the South where cotton and to-
bacco have been given the preference
over other crops, the situation is
equally embarrassing, but the remedy
is the same. The cow will make good
anywhere. The following statement
of the amount received by a farmer
of Webster, Kentucky, from his cows
proves this. He sold J. w. Willis
buying agent of the Kentucky Cream
cry, $506.80 worth of cream; he sole
twenty-three hogs fed with the skim
milk, which brought him $462.85, anC
two calves for $51.94, making a tota
of $1,O21.59, and he has two calves
yet to sell.
The great advantage of dairying
is that there are so many sources Of
income. The farmer can have /;
daily cream check it he wants it
Skimmilk and corn will bring pigs
to market weight quicker than any
other ration, while with proper care
J there will be calves every year which
will add to the family exchequer

for depleted soil. There is no bette
time to begin these reforms thar

FARMERS LOSE MORE THAN
WAR TIME FRICE GAINS

Beef cattle on farms lost in aver
age value per head from January 1,
1919, to January 1, 1921, all that they
gained during the participation of the
United States in the world war and
more than half as much again, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture. The loss occurred most
ly in 1920. This has been establish
ed beyond doubt by the recent annual
investigation of prices of farm ami
mails per head made by the bureau.
The average price per head, all ages
of cattle other than milk cows was
1882 in 1917, $44.22 in 1919, and
$31.41 in 1921. On January 1, last
year, the farm price was $4.51 be-
low that of 1917, some months be-
fore this country declared war.
In the case of swine on farms, the
average price per head, all ages, de-
clined in two years 1919 and 1920. IS

MATING SEASON

The middle of February is late
enough for the mating of birds. Sub
urban poultrymen who expect to have
early matches should look after this
within the next week or two. Many
have already turned the males into
breeding pens. On the farm where
there is plenty of range it is COM
mon practice to allow the ROSTERS to
run with the flock through out the
winter.
City poultry keepers have found
that with small quarters it often pays
to dispose Of the ROSTERS at the close
of the breeding season in the sum-
mer and mate with new stock at the
opening of the next season. This
saves feed, aids in keeping the eggs
and improves the flock by introducing
new blood each year.
In any case the rooster should be
in the breeding pens at least two
weeks before any of the eggs are
saved for incubation purposes. Some
find it the safest plan to mate the
birds three and even four weeks in
advance of the incubation season, al
lowing time for testing the fertility
of the eggs.
Set good, fresh, fertile eggs if you
expect the early matches to be sue
cessful. Good eggs are produced only
by healthy hens, hens that have plen
| ty Of range as well as the right KING
of feed.
Keeping the breeding fowls shut W
in close, warm house in winter il
a practice among some Eastern poul
try keepers, and this method of man
agement is severely condemned b.
many successful flock owners. VENT
lation is often poor, floors becom
damp, and hens kept in close confine
ment become unthrifty and viii no
produce fertile eggs of the highes
quality.
Range is of fundamental impor
lance if hatchable eggs are to b
produced. Space for poultry rang
is usually much limited in the city

but the birds should at least be al
lowed free use of the runs during the
mating, laying, and brooding season.
No matter how good eggs may ap-
pear to be, the percentage of hatch
will be low unless they are kept un-
der favorable conditions. A poor
hatch may be expected from eggs
held more than two weeks-nine or
ten days is the limit with the best
breeders. The germ inside the egg
is kept in good condition where the
room is fairly moist and well venti-
lated, with the thermometer register
ing around SIS degrees Fahrenheit.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR a BAD COLD

. Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as 1t opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the System.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

and two-thirds of the decline was in
1920.
From 1916 to 1919, the average
farm value of the product of corn
per acre increased from $21.67 to
S3S.54. The corn crop of 1920, TAX
ing the average value of the product
of one acre, fell to S20.93, and this
drop not only wiped out the gain of
the preceding three years but per-
ceptibly exceeded it. The commonly
used percentage of decline since the
break in price began, fails to dis
cover this fact, because a percentage
of decline from higher number is
not comparable with a percentage of
gain during the preceding years
which is based on a comparatively
low number.
