WESTERN WOODEN INDUSTRY

Nearly one-third of the 100000
pounds Of wool produced on the Pa.
cific Coast is manufactured here.
There are thirteen wooden mills In
operation in the Coast States, of
which six are located in Oregon.
One of these mills, located at Sell
wood. manufactures worsted yarns,
which supplies yarns for cloth weav-
ing and knitting mills, from which
bathing suits are made that are sold
all over the United States.
One of the thirteen wooden mills
Is located at Pendleton, the entire
output of which is Indian robes and
blankets.
The oldest wooden mill on the
Coast is located at oregon City, and
like the Bishop Wooden Mills, manu-
tactures its own products into cloth
ing, largely for Alaska, Siberia and
Russia.
These industries, conducted where
ne raw material is produced, are
low all in prosperous condition.

THE CROAKER
BY Guy FIenner

Some time ago il was stated in all
seriousness that dairying could not
be made profitable in Idaho because
OF list of "cant's" longer than a
movie serial. But today the COW
is bringing Idaho back. She has
proven to be the best pay master.
/ The list of "can'ts" is only a flash
, On the screen, soon to be forgotten.
With equal forcefulness it was de-
clared that lettuce growing at pro-
fit was also impossible here. Yet
the records show that in 1922 there
; were 1872 carloads Of Idaho head let
tuce distributed In rs states at a
nice profit to the growers through
the wonderful marketing organiza-
ton maintained by the Union Pacific,
which estimates this year the distri-
button will be double that of the
previous year.
Five years ago few men announc-
ed plan whereby people who want
ed to get their coal cheaper could do
so through cooperation. A property
was acquired in Spring Canyon,
Utah. Many said it couldn't be
done; and In four years of active
operation this company has saved
to its 5000 stockholders in Idaho
and Utah 0,000-three quarters
ef~a million-in their coal bill and
Its properties have been extended and
enlarged to giant proportions.
The croakers in Boise said it was
impossible to ever get the main line
of the o. S. through the city, but a |
young man who is secretary of the |
Boise Chamber of Commerce, started !
a campaign three years ago. He
flooded the Union Pacific executives
with facts and figures. He and his
co-workers aroused local interest,
which was some job, and today
contractors are on the ground and
work is under way.
There was never chance of get
ting railroad from Idaho to the
California markets we were told, but

One could go on with illustrations,
beets, beans, onions, etc., of the
cant" spirit, but the will" spirit
took it to mat, put the strangle hold
on 1t and the thing has been ma
terially weakened.
Maybe the "croakdr" performs
some little service however, for he
has supplied such abundant evidence
evidence of his mistakes of judgment
that the public feels perfectly safe
in going the other way.
But we don't think the croaker
helped much in making the great
mines of the north such monu-
mental factor in the upbuilding of
our state. The other fellow cop
-pered the croaker's bet, and Idaho
won.
The marvellous timber develop
ment bringing into existence great
plants and large payrolls, might have
been "croaked" if far-sighted enter
pr1sing men had not discontinued the
com bination raven and maybe that
sat above the chamber door of Ida
hos progress-and that is still sit
ting there. The thing "croaker"
does best Is to sit!
II Idaho had been approved at any
time by the croaker classes the state
might have been in danger of re-
combination desert and
The Men Who Do" approved it,
however, and Idaho has been moving
right along. This is a good state.
1t will be better state in proportion
as we quit kicking and croaking and
do more work.
We've got to believe in Idaho first
Of all and to do SO we should close
Dur ears and eyes to the steady flow
Of blue funk from the mouths and
pens OF men who tell us that every
thing is headed straight for the
out here.
Relief? Yes-for agriculture es-
here and all over the coun-
ry; but retreat, quit? Who's for

BLACK CURRANT BUSHES
MENACE TIMBER

Whether foul and a quarter million
dollars worth (stumpage vtlue) of
white pine timber in Montana shall
be destroyed by the white pine blister
rust or conserved for use in the build
ing and manufacturing industries,
with the attendant logging and lum-
bering payrolls created in the western
part of the state, largely depends up
On the public s~piritedness of a few
Montana citizens.
These few Montana citizens happen
to be wner of black currant bushes
which are the most menacing secon-
Diary host plants of the blister rust
disease. If the black currant bushes
remain, the white pine timber forests
are doomed, say plant Psychologists;
if the currant bushes go, the stands
of white pine are almost certain to
escape the disease, which is now raw
aging the British Columbia forests.
There is no law in Montana COM
polling the destruction of black cur
rant bushes. The conservation of
855 million board feet of white pine
rests upon the public spiritedness of
the of the currant bushes.
Taking cognizance of the situation,
Chester G. Davis, commissioner of the
Montana Department of Agriculture,
has issued an appeal to all growers of
cultivated black currants voluntarily
to destroy the bushes and to discour-
age propagation in the future of this
plant. Owners of black c%urrants are
requested to make a gift of their
black currant bushes, to the Montana
Department of Agriculture, that they
may be destroyed, in the interests of
public welfare.
P~athologists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, with the
cooperation of western Montana
school children, have about complet-
ed a survey of the location of all
black currant bushes in the state.

separator should be washed afteI
each separation. The saving of i'm
in washing a separator is not JUST
fled over and against the loss of far
and contamination of the cream By
only washing once a day.
8. Cooling the cream. The cream
should be cooled as soon as separat-
ed. This may be accomplished by
various means BY running spring
water, irrigation water or we'll wa.
ter through a cooling tank. Cream
should never be placed in a refrig-
orator until it has been cooled with
water. Cold air does not extract
heat nearly so rapidly as water. II
has been carefully determined that
water will cool 48 times faster than
air. Hence cream can be cooled
much more quickly in water than
in a refrigerator.
The cellar is not a desirable place
in which to cool and keep cream.

is also recommended to stir the
cream occasionally while it is being
cooled.
g. Richness of cream. Richness
has only an indirect influence on
keeping the quality of cream, but for
the sake of convenience of handling
and of the seller and purchaser, it is
considered that cream testing from
80 to 40 per cent is the more desir-
able.
10. Delivery. Cream should be
delivered not less than twice a week
in winter and three times a week in
summer. Frequent delivery is es-
sential. Old cream will never make
first class butter.

The quality of butter depends to {
very large extent on the quality o.
cream from which it is made. High
est quality butter brings the high.
est price. Therefore the highest
quality of cream should bring the
highest price. 1t is almost imposs1-
BILE to estimate the yearly loss in the
| United States due to cream of poor
quality, cream which could by a lit
tie extra effort be sold as No.
grade. To produce a high quality
cream the following rules should be
put into effect.
/. Cows should be free from dis
ease. This not only applies to tuber-
culosis but to other diseases as well.
Disease organisms in the milk means
that unless careful pasteurization is
practiced the disease germs will be
present in the butter and other re-
sulting products.
2. The COWS should be kept clean.
The udder and flanks of the COW
should be clean so that contamina-
ton from dirt would be less possible.
Good clean stables, with sufficient
bedding, will aid very materially in
keeping the COWS clean.
8. The mixer should be clean
Clean about his person, wearing APP
parel, habits, and he should milk
without wetting the teats. 1t is also
important that the mixer be abso-
lutely free from disease. Further
more disease carriers should never
be allowed to handle milk or cream.
4. Feeding. Dusty hay and feeds
with strong odor should be fed after
the milking is done and the milk is
removed from the barn.
5. Utensils. All utensils should
be thoroughly washed and scalded af-
ter each milking. 1t is also advisable
to let the utensils stand exposed to
the sunlight as much as possible.
6. Location of the separator. Lo-
cate the separator in a clean place

These camps for farm boys and
girls from IL to 16 years of age are
under the direction of Charles Pot

purpose of the camps is to give need

folks in their meetings and help them
grasp the ideas of leadership.
Each county camp is under the
personal charge of the county agri-
cultural agent, home demonstration
agent or club agent. Most of the
camps will be beside streams or
lakes, with tents to shelter the mem
