Oregon. Some cranberries are also
grown In the mountain districts In
Virginia and West Virginia
Preparation Expensive Process
Preparation of the land for cram
berry growing is an expensive proc
cSS. All trees and roots have to be
removed from the marsh and burned,
and the fields graded ditched. dyked
and sanded. Before the war, swamp
land could thus he cleared and pre-
pared for about $500 to 800 per .rrc
At present prices Of labor and ma
terialS, this work will cost anywhere
from 5000 to 1900.
The ground must be suitably To-
Gated and prepared carefully because
1t Is important to have good water
supply and good drainage facilities.
The water is also USED for controlling
insect enemies. 1t is necessary to have
reservoir from which the bog can
be flooded In New Jersey some grow
ers say that leaving some weeds in the
bog is not Objectionable as they sup
ply shade for the plants. In Wiscon-
sin Indians from the reservation pick
the berries. In New Jersey thousands
of Italians come out to do the pick
ing. In Massachusetts Portuguese do
most Of the work.
Ward OF Pests and Diseases.
1t Is essential that the cranberry
grower be prepared to ward Off in
sects and diseases, both Of which are
very destructive. In New Jersey,
where conditions are favorable for the
development of certain funROus dis
eases, proper spraying with bordeaux
mixture was found to control the dis
ease and Is generally practiced.
Ordinarily, the price Of cranberrles
per barrel Is from SO to $40, although
during the past year as much as $40
per barrel was obtained for small lots.
The number Of barrels produced per
acre ranges anywhere from Is or 20
to 100 or sometimes 200. A reason
able expectation under good condi-
lions and management, however,
would be from 35 to 40 barrels per

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-
mliar With Anesthesia Many
Thousands Of Years Ago.

The artificial Induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
tiOnally known In ancient times, writes
DIR. Charles Balance In the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general aneSthesia thousands Of
years ago. 1t Is related of Surgeon
Hoathe In the Third century A. d. that
he performed amputation, trephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases OF
anesthesia taken from n Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.
1t Is now well known that living for
eign bodies may produce otltis and
meningitis. In the second case the OPP

KEEP YOUNG FOWL GROWING

Supply Of MISUNDERSTANDING

Feeding the growing chick correctly
Is absolutely essential, both to the i'm

TEN in the ration is urgent, says T. s.
Townsley Of the Missouri College Of

chicks are developing muscle and
feathers which require large quaint

mash as for laying hens; that is. a

pounds shorts and so pounds Of tank

The bluebird and the flicker suffer
most Mt the breeding season from the
starling's attacks on their nests.
In most states where starlings are
present, even In moderate numbers,
they have been placed on the list Of
exceptions to protection. In Maine
they are given protection subject to n
provision whereby they may be killed
when destroying crops. The depart
ment recommends this type OF law in
justice to the farmer whose crops are
threatened by local overabundance
of these birds. Roosts OF starlings
may be broken up by frightening the
birds with the persistent use of fire
arms or Roman candles, but vigilance
IS necessary to prevent the re-estab-
lishment OF rOosts by removal to other
places where they would be equally
Objectionable.
