THINNING FRUIT PAYS
BIG RETURN ON COST
Orchardist Demonstrates Money
Earning Power of Proper
Notwithstanding shown
In Returns In Varying
Degrees


Ten per cent is good interest on
capital. When one has capital I'm
the form Of years Of labor as we'll
as money involved In farm, ten
per cent is also an important factor
but an astonishing number Of farm
ers seem to forget this fact so far as
their management plans are con-
cerned, unless it happens that they
are paying ten por cent for some
emergency short time loan. But
there are countless agricultural
practices which far exceeds ten per
cent on capital invested I'm their
particular application and, in fact,
often by reason OF teir utilization,
bring about a return of ten per cent
or more on the entire capitalization
OF particular farm. For instance,
twelve year old bearing Winesap
tross In the orchard of j. Il. Slower,
of Milton, varied In average produc-
tion last year from S5.S7M u per tree
to St5.62h per tree. There is not
much doubt but what the difference
between profits and loss In that or
chard was between those two figures.
Another block OF trees In the Slower
orchard yielded s11.25 per tree
SIN another block yielded S15.12M
per tree.
These trees were all the same age
aud located under similar conditions.
Why the dinorence2
The reason lies In the manage
nout practice followed by Mr.
slower, who incidontly. is one OF the
leading orchard men In the Milton
Freowator district In northern Una
tllla county. This district Is a por-
tion OF the famous Walla walla Val
ley. Last spring Mr.. slower felt sure
that thinning was advantageous In
his orchard operations but no did
not know the best thinning distances
and decided TO determine. In con-
sultatlon with &. l.. Long, OF the
Oregon Agricultural College Exten-
sion Service. ho aggregated four
divisions Ia his orchard. one division
OF which received no thinning aud |
produced S5,S7la OF fruit per tree
or total value OF fruit per acre
OF s3O5.60. The fruit on another
block OF trees was thlnned down to
three to four inches apart and the
production per tree was Sii.25 or
S5S5.OO por acre, The largest re-
turn was secured on the trees whore |
fruit was thlnnod down TO six TO
seven inches apart. which was
S15.62h each or SSl2.5O per aero,
Tho value OF fruit produced ON an
acre OF trees thinned In this manner
exceeded the value harvested from
the trees that were not thinned
down 10 nine and ten inches the pro-
duction was S15,l2h per tree OF
S7SG.5O per acre. Here the thinning
had passed the point OF maximum
profits.
Work OF this kind Is being carried
ON by county agents In Malheur.
Union. and Wasco counties this year
in addition 10 further demonstra-
tions In Umatilla county. Field
meetings were held ON Mr. Sloyer's
place on four different occasions In
the past year and the methods put
into effect there have served as a
helpful denomination to the fruit
growers OF that entire community.
A similar plan is being put into
effect In the other counties above
indicated. II

Junior Chamber
 Has Broad Scope

The following statement has been issued by Kenneth J. Griffian, chair man of the Americanization commit tee of the Junior Chamber of Com merce that is seeking to revive the Americanization work among foreign born people that halted imm ediately after the cessation of the war:
 ''The proposed Community Con gress' is not intended to be a spec tacular attempt, such as we witnessed during the war, to convert immigrants into ready-made Americans. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is fos- tering the Community Congress- as a means of real service to all. Over 32 per cent. of Bridgeport's popula- ton is foreign-born and 32 per cent have foreign-born parents. All through our country are found great numbers of people far different from the original pioneering breeds who b1azed the way through the American wilderness.
 Broadly stated, the purposes of the Community Congress- is to provide the necessary machinery and incen- tive for constant study and exchange of ideas between the older and newer Americans, for the edification of both and as way of adding one more line of defense to our ancient and noble institutions of which Lincoln so eloquently spoke as government of the people, by the people, and for the people,"

Claims Health And Charity Dept.
 Were Negligent

A statement regarding the neg ligence of the Department of Health and the Department of Charities dur ing the quarantining of families in which there had been small pox, was given to a Times reporter this morn ing by a woman who asked that her name be withheld.
 The husband of the woman was stricken with small pox, 1t Is alleged, and was removed to Englewood hos pital on a Saturday afternoon. The family themselves were vaccinated and placed under quarantine on the same day, the doctors promising that a nurse would call immediately and tend to their wants. The husband had not been working so the family had neither food nor money and no one called from either the Health depart ment or the Department of Charities. It was bitterly cold and the family without fuel as we'll as fod. They have no telephone so help could not be summoned that way.
 On Monday afternoon, relatives, left food and coal at the door for them- They received no further at- tention from either the Department of Health or Department of Charities until the following Thursday. when a physician from the Health Depart ment called to examine them. The sign was removed on Saturday.
