Dear Folks: 1t is a real pleasure
to have a question like Bill Bees"
come to the question box. Many Of
us have a general idea or scattering
information about such things, and
it is when a question comes in that
demands a concrete answer that we
get our real information.
Not being satisfied with my own
knowledge of the question asked,
went to the best authority L could
find. The result you will read below.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Bill Bee asks: when was Easter
Sunday first observed and what is
the origin of Eastern"
Easter Sunday is the day of spe-
cial celebration Of the resurrection
Of Christ. It's observance began
among the early Christians. tt was
formerly called Pasch, because the
resurrection was at the close Of the
Jewish passover. In Latin countries
it still is called by names of that
meaning. The English name Easter
goes back to pagen times, when the
feast of Eostra, goddess of Spring,
was celebrated at the period at which
the feast Of the resurrection was
later observed by Christians.

Dear Folks: We are making syrup
and I'm the busiest little gal in
Georgia. But I'm sweet just the
same, cause, you see, I get all
syrupy and I chew cane, drink juice

you will think I was tipsy when L
tell you of an accident 1 had the
other day. Bernice Chats my sis
and I were hauling mash and our
mule started off before we were
ready and off 1 tumbled onto a
pitchfork and it stuck in my leg.
Land O. massey! I thought it stuck
about six inches. but ] suppose it
didn't go more than bout one-fourth
of an inch as the wounds are already
well. Bernice fell across a wheel,
but was not hurt. The old mule was
peacefully grazing when we had got
ten over our scare.
Perhaps some Of you will remem-
Der me as I have written before;
but since then I have grown some
and am a little older; being 13 years
old now. I received several nice
letters before and would like to
hear from some of you cousins now.

ATTENTION FRUIT SHIP
PIERS, DEALERS, CONSUMERS

The season of fruit shipping in the
State of Idaho is in full swing and
as a protection to the producer, the
shipper and the consumer, | wish to
call attention to Section 2074 of the
Idaho Compiled Statutes of 1919.
Section 2074 1t shall be unlawful
to sell, or offer to sell, or have In
ones possessios for sale or barter,
any fruit which is or has been in
fected with San Jose scale, apple
sca5, or the larva or larvae of the
cooling moth, or the peach twig
borer, and the fact that such fruit
bears the marks of the San Jose
scale, apple scab, or is worm-eaten
by the larva or the larvae of the
cooling moth or the peach twig
borer, shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that such fruit is infested
within the meaning of this section;
and it is hereby made the duty of
the department of agriculture thru
its inspectors to prevent the sale of
such infected fruit, and they are
hereby given power to seize and de-
stroy such infected fruit whenever
they shall find that the same has
been packed, sold, shipped or offered
for sale or is being held in any ware
house, store, salesroom or other
place for the purpose of being sold,
battered, shipped or exposed for sale
or barter: Provided, That nothing in
this section shall be construed to
prevent the utilization of such in
fected fruit in the manufacture of
canned fruit, evaporated, or dried
products, fruit preserves, jellies
buffers, cider, or other fruit by
products within the state as provided
in Section 2O73.
This section clearly outlines the
responsibility of the grower, when he
tries to place upon the open markets
any wormy, scale infested or dis
eased fruit.
1t plainly shows that such an act
is strict violation Of the law, pun
ishable by fine OF Imprisonment, and
that the fruit is subject to seizure
and destruction.
The shipper who buys that grade
of fruit is subject to the same regu-
lations and takes the fruit at the
hazard of it's being taken and de- !
stroyed whether it is in storage or
ready for shipment or whether it is !,
a single package or a car load. He
also is subject to a fine of $25 for
the first offense or imprisonment.
All consumers in Idaho or any
other market are entitled to receive
good stuff when they pay the market
price for it.
The state inspectors of the bureau
of plant industry and markets will I
be constantly in the field and one of
their duties will be to examine the
fruits and vegetables as they find
them in the markets.
Any fruit or vegetable on any
market found to be diseased or
wormy or scale infested is SUBJECT to
and destruction.
The selling of such products is
violation of the state law.
Very truly yours,
M. L. DEAN,
Bureau of Plant Industry

FATTEN HOGS IN sNOwDRIFT

In January, 1928, G. H Harlan
of Wibaux, Dawson county, Mont.
had fifteen acres of White Flint corr
buried in snow drift with no one
to husk it, Lewis Odland, of Beach
/ N. OAK, just over the line, had
thirty-five pure bred Poland China
pigs with little or no feed to carry
them thru. Mr.. Odland proposed te
hire his hogs to Mr. Harlan to hush
the latter's corn, the consideration
being per cent. of the gain put or
the pigs.
The proposition was accepted
The pigs weighed 4IS0 pounds when
turned into the corn field January 8.
Ten were marketed March "a, and
the other twenty-five head were
marketed April Is. The total gain
made by the pigs during this time
was 4765 pounds.
They were sold at $3.50 per cwt.,
returnisg Mr.. Harlan $2O.65 per
acre for the corn.
These pigs were from registered
boar and pure bred sows, all of which
were narrowed in June, 1922.
When they were turned into the
corn the snow was drifted up to the
tassels on the stock on the west side,
of the field, and from that down to
half way to the ears on the east side
of the field. The field was eighty
rods from the shed provided for the
pigs, and there was only one day
during the feeding period when they
remained inside, and that day a ter
rible blizzard ragged thruout. Mr..
a fQd no
day. AS the snow began to melt in
February and March, the ears on the
stocks began to appear, and by the |
time the snow had disappeared, the |
corn had disappeared also.
These pigs averaged 119 pounds
each when turned into the field and
255 pounds each as they were
marketed, making an average gain
of 1.46 pounds per pig per day,
while digging their food out of the
snow. Their only drink was cold
water, hand fed twice daily, by Mr.. !
No tankage was supplied (
and the only feed supplement was
mixture of salt, lime, and Ignite coal
dust.
Besides the herd of thirty-five
pigs, a stag making seventy pounds
gain was turned into the field, and
from March 16 to April 18 there
were two sows with pigs and six
head OF cattle running in this corn
field.
When Mr.. Harlan figured the
profit his porcine hired hands had
made him, he insisted that Mr..
)dland take more remuneration than
vas agreed upon, but Mr.. Odland
elt that the convincing performance
II his hogs was in itself an additional
This incident demonstrates that
he proper kind of hog can fit pro-
ltably into diversified farming
program much needed thruout the l
northwest country at this time. Z

CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY

| Every year 1900 people are killed
and 5000 injured by driving autos
in the way of moving trains in this
! country, and the safety first organ
izatoin is conducting a campaign to
arouse people to the danger and get
them to stop, look and listen before
going upon railroad tracks.
Try it upon yourself when you are
| driving a car and if you stop, look
and listen few times you will then
tracks are clear and stop and listen
if there is an obstruction with a pos
sibility of a train back of it ready to
burst upon you at the wrong instant.
People who have driven in front
of moving train confide to their
friends that at such a moment, a To-
connective looks bigger than mount
ain and thousand times as danger
Gus.
Persons riding, but not driving the
car should help the driver by look
ing along the track for him and re-
porting so he will not have to look
back over his shoulder and thus take
the risk of swerving the car while
looking. A driver always appre-
ciates it if his guest or seatmate, on
approaching railroad crossing,
looks for him in the difficult direc-
ton and says in a low tone, mo train
on the left" or mo train in sight,"
or Train approaching, stop" Make
it rule to aid the driver in such
ways and also mention whether there
is an auto following close up.
Don't try to boss the driyer-just
inform him, and speak low.
The railroads and the press of the
country are trying right now to in
form people and impress them with
the danger at railroad crossings, and
of how to keep safe. The number
of deaths and injuries is increasing
and it is up to you and others who
drive or ride in cars to change this
appalling situation and make auto
travel safer. 34-35-36
