BUMPER GRAPE
CROP PRODUCED
IN 1922 SEASON
Total CarIot Shipments Up
to and Including Nov. IL,
51,254, According to a
Summary Issued

Buffalo, N. Y. Dec. 17.-Vine-
yards of the United States pro-
duced a bumper crop of grapes in
1922. Total ,carlot shipments from
all sections up to and including
November II We're 51,254 cars, an
increase compared With 1921 of
14,053 cars, or about 361s per cent,
according to a summary issued by
the state department of farms and
markets.
In the fifty-one thousand odd
cars were a total Of 1,025, ,080, 900
pounds of grapes. which would be
sufficient to supply approximately
ten pounds of grapes to every In
dividual in the United States. They
were worth, at an avera re price of
$40 a ton. S35, $4,000.
Two causes contributed to make
the season a profitable one for the
eastern grape growers. A car
shortage in the west cut Call
fornia's normal shipments about
So per cent, and there was an in
creased demand for private con-
sumption and grape juice manu-
facturers in the east. 1t also was
year of unprecedented yields in
eastern vineyards.
New York, Pennsylvania and
Michigan. the three principal
grape states, made enormous gains
in carlot shipments, and there also
was heavy movement by truck
because of the prevailing car
shortage in the east as well as in
the west. Michigan figures show
a gain in shipments Of 371 per
cent; Pennsylvania. 2SS per cent,
and New York 201 per cent. The
crop of these three states alone
brought approximately 10000
600. Truck shipments in the three
states, which are not included in
the departments figures are esti-
mated at 10000 tons, worth an
other million and a half dollars.
Statistics on destinations Of the
Michigan, New York and Pennsyl7
vania crap show that Pittsburgh
took tho largest number of cars for
! the season. with a total Of 1,726.
Philadelphia was second with l.
AIS cars; other distributing points
for the crop were: Chicago, L.

with 157 cars of Michigan fruit,
five from Pennsylvania and twen-
ty-six cars from New York state.
Milwaukee took 1S6 cars from
Michigan, twelve from Pennsyl-
vania and twenty-one from New
York.
The price paid by grape Juice
factories this year averaged $65 a
ton, compared with $3.50 in 1920
and $s6 in 1919. No grapes were
pressed in 1921 because of the high
tax and the poor condition OF the
crop due to early frosts. The low-
est price on record at grape juice
factories was in 1897 when $40 a
| ton was the average.

H0LSTE|N HERDS
ARE |NCREAS
BREEDERS STATE
Cows of This Breed Hold
All of the Milk and Nearly
All of the Butter Records
in Texas

Dallas. Tex. Dec. II (by the AS
sociated Press) The Holstein
breeders Of Texas are nearly all
increasing their herds, following
the introduction into Dallas county
of nearly $250,O0O worth of Hol-
stems under conditions that the
cattle would have to pay for them
selves, known as the "Moser plan" "
according to j. #. Orr. president
of the Texas Holstein-Friesian
Breeders club. c. o. Moser. after
whom the plan was named, is Sec
retary. Mr.. Orr is n prominent
farmer and dairyman OF Dallas
county, while Mr.. Moser is dairy
expert, practical farmer and live
stock man.
The Holsteins were brought here
1920, according to review by Mr..
Moser. Thirty herds arrived. he
said. while at the same time the
movement spread from Dallas into
Tarrant Denton and Collin coun-
ties; that the A. and NJ. college be-
gan to receive requests for Hol-
stems from practically every sec
ton of the state and orders were
made up for carload shipments.
Private traders began opera
tlons," Mr.. Moser declared, ''and
some of them exploited their inno-
cent purchasers by bringing into
the state culls and inferior animals
generally. The Texas Hplstein-
Friesian Breeders club then was
organized, and Immediately began
to combat the indiscriminate intro
duction of inferior animals. and
much was accomplished in stop
ping that practice.
"In lieu of the inferior cattle
being brought in, the state organi-
zation determine to hold some
auction sales of the kind of cattle
that would make money for their
new purchasers. The cattle
brought an average of 1852 at the
first sale and approximately $500
at the last sale.
"There have been no sales held
during the past year for the reason
that the financial condition of the
state WdS SuCIl lltdJ however IluCIl
a man may desire to buy cattle of
his choice breed, he would be
financially unable to do so except
at price that the seller would re-
gard as a sacrifice to him."
The industry has become well
established inside the state, Mr..
Moser said. There are now ap-
proximately 200 breeders who are
members, he added.
Holstein cows hold all of the
milk, and nearly all of the butter
records for all ages and breeds of
dairy cattle. Mr.. Moser declared.
Cases are on record where she
has produced from 100 to 100 gal
Ions of milk in a single week, one
COW having produced almost twen-
ty gallons of milk in single day.
1t is not infrequent among Hol-
stems that as much as 100 pounds
or twelve gallons. Of milk have
been produced during twenty-four
hours

THE EXAMPLE OF MR.. sCRooGE

Being merry is very often solemn and
heavy business. Intent on distributing
joy on Christmas day, we are too prone
to distribute mean looks and hard words
while we are preparing to play Santa
Claus. The average crowd is anything
but jolly. Any .shopgirl will tell you
that.
We are not going to tell our readers
to do their Christmas shopping early, for
it is too late. We do ask them, however,
to do their Christmas shopping cheerfully
to remember that this season brings
extra work and cruel contact with peevish
buyers to large number of their fellow
citizens.
1t is an excellent plan, at least week
before Christmas day, to dust off your
Dickens and run over "The Christmas
Carol" If you can get yourself into the
mental attitude of the reformed Scrooge
you will make your buying excursions
more pleasant both for yourself and for
the hundreds, of people among whom you
will be thrown. We mean thrown" lit
orally.
Kind words are more than coronets,
but, paradoxically, they are also fewer
especially along about now. Don't be
afraid to stock up with them before you
go down town. They will be as good
as Christmas presents to the girl behind
the counter-and great deal more in
expensive. This ought to be very merry
Christmas. But it can't be merry one if
everybody gets mad and wants to fight
simply because it takes a clerk twenty
minutes to find doll with blue dress
and gray eyes, which is the only kind of
doll that is wanted by the small givee
at home.

WHAT IS FASCIsM ?

Most Americans realize that the new
Italian government, headed by Mussolinl
represents a midde-class revolution and
the defeat of Socialism. Few, however,
have much idea of what Fascism really
stands for. An Italian-American re-
Gently stated its principles as follows:
Opposition to all internationalism.
Legal establishment of the eight
hour day, with due reservations for
agricultural and other seasonable
industries.
Representation of the workers"
in the management of every indus
try.
Opposition to the industrial state"
Abandonment by the state of all
industrial enterprises.
Self-discipline for organized labor,
to combat proletarian dogma.
Economically it seems to be sort of
compromise with some of the prevailing
forms of radcalism but that it is in itself
form of radicalism cannot be disputed.
While it is opposed to all International
ism, the question suggests itself whether
aggressive nationalism may not be even
worse than Socialism. Americans, who
have heard and read much about Fascism
of late, are not much concerned with it
and will find real interest in it only to
the extent that it is reassuring to learn
that, for the present, at least, Italy is not
going the way of Bolshevism. There is
too much of it in the world already.

YOST PREDICTS
A BETTER GRID
ELEVEN IN 1928
Michigan Coach Has Some
Promising Substitutes
Available to Fill Places
of the Graduates

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. II (by
the Associated Press. Football
plans of Coach Fielding H. Yost
for 1923 are centered chiefly on
replacing the two star ends and
two backfield men of this years
undefeated Michigan team, who
are to graduate next spring. With
the exception of the fullback va
cancy, promising substitutes are
available from the 1929 squad and
Coach Yost in disbanding the team
at the close of the season predicted
"an even better team next year
than we had this year"
Yost's chief problem at the start
of the 1922 training season was to
develop a line. He succeeded so
we'll that Michigan closed the sea-
son in tie with Iowa for cham
pionship honors of the Big Ten.
Next year the greatest worry will
be to find a pair of flankers to
take the places of Bennie Kirk,
winner of place on the All-Con-
ference eleven, and Captain Paul
Goebel. Franklin G. Cappon,
fullback, and Douglas Roby, half
back, also are among the 10 men,
bers of the squad who will be lost
through graduation.
The veterans Stanley Muirhead,
Rosattf and Vandervoort will re-
turn next fall for tackle berths;
Steele and Slaughter, sophomore
guards, will have the advantage of
a year under fire; Jack Plott is
relied upon to develop into one of
the best centers of the Big Ten
next season. He filled his berth
creditably this year.
In the backfield there remains
the sensational Harry Kipke, an
other All-Conference choice, Keef-
er and Steger, two halbacks
who distinguished themselves this
year, Uteritz. whose heady work
won him recognition in conference
circles this season.
Leroy Nielsen, substitute end
will be available for one of the
flank positions. Dutch" Marion
former w. & J. end, is coming up
from the freshman squad of this
season, but there is no outstanding
candidate for the fullback posi-
ton.
Although disbanded, Coach Yost
asked his proteges to keep in ply
sical condition and to see that they
remain eligible from q scholastic
standpoint.
The income derived by the Mich
igan athletic department from
football games this year will ex.
ceed by many thousands of dol
lars the highest point reached In
the past, according to athletic Of
ficials, although they have not
yet compiled definite figures.

Editor White Pine News
In your last issue it was said,
among other things, that the valid
ity of the appointment of +. w. Mil

struction in connection with the con-
structon of additions. alterations and
repairs Of the county high school
building is being looked into by Dis
trict Attorney Charles A. Walker.
Since the above was printed several
persons have asked me if a conclu-
sion has been arrived at. On inform
ing them that the article was in error
in inferring that l have any such
contract under consideration, two of
the parties suggested that l publish
a statement of what part this Office
has taken in the matter of the high

official opinion as to whether a bid
for construction could be let contain
in a clause that only union labor be
employed, and If not could prefer
ence be given a local contractor.
replied that neither clause could law
fully be inserted. Mr.. Ed Millard,
president of the board, then told me
the union was extremely anxious that
at least one of the two clauses could
be inserted Thinking my judgment
might be wrong and hoping that it
was as to a local contractor, l sub
mitted the matter to the attorney
general He telegraphed me the fol-
lowing answer:
We answer negatively to
each inquiry. Constitutional pro-
visions of no discrimination and
equal protection to all of the
