PRODUCES MANY APPLES

A News-Record representative
this week visited the apple or
chard Of Joseph Huppman a short
distance southwest of the tele-
phone office, where nearly 5000
boxes of beautiful Winter Banana
and Grimes Golden apples have
been harvested and are awaiting
marketing. 1t is estimated that
the island produce 10000 boxes Of
apples annually which places Mr..
Huppman as probably the largest
grower with one-sixth of the en-
tire production of apples in his
orchard. Mr. Huppman is taking
truck load of apples to Seattle
practically each day and is re-
ceiving many compliments from
Western avenue buyers for the
cleanliness and uniformity Of his
fruit. The writer acknowledges
the receipt Of a box of beautifully
packed Winter Banana apples.

VASHON ISLAND Hens
MAKE HIGH RECORDS
F. c. Parks Pen Fifth in
Ess-Layins Contest at
Puyalup.

The egg-laying contest at Puy-
allup, which closed October 81,
made more high records for Wash
on island hens, f. C. Park S pen
having finished fifth from the top
with record Of 1852 eggs. The
highest pen in the contest four
years ago laid only 1882 eggs.
That was world record at that
time and many thought it would
never be equalled again. Now,
ordinary hens, like Mr.. Park pro-
duces, have passed that mark.
The highest hen in his pen laid
294 eggs. He is now mating her
with his best cockerel, one out of
hen with an Official record of
332 eggs. The sire of this cock
erel is from a 301-egg hen, and
his grandsire from 330-egg hen.
If the chicks from this mating
develop properly they will be en-
tered in the 1925 contest.
Mr.. Park reports that in trap
nesting so pullets to select his pen
for the contest which opened the
first of this month, he had five pull
lets which laid two eggs in one
day. But four Of them did not
lay the following day. The one
which did lay again the following
day he placed in his pen which he
entered in the present contest.

TWO Big POULTRY
FARMS in COMBINE
Gilbert Poultry Farm Alb.
sorbed by Rosebank
Farm Company.

One of the biggest deals in the
realm of poultrydom on the island
was completed the past few days
when the Gilbert poultry farm
was included in the Rosebank
farm corporation, thus joining one
Of the best known egg producing
plants with an equally well known
hatchery. f. L. Gilbert, prophet
or of the big poultry plant, takes
substantial interest in the Rose
bank corporation and remains on
the place as superintendent.
Last spring Mr.. Gilbert, follow
ing lis illness, received two good
offers, one from Tacoma con-
Germ and the other from a well
known Seattle hatchery to take
over his place and establish big
hatchery on the island. Later
Prof. B. P. Kirkland made him an
offer to join forces with the Rose
bank farm, which after long de
liberation he accepted.
The Rcsebank farm hatchery
has capacity of between $4,000
and 10000 chicks every three
weeks during the Matching seas
on. With only five acres of land
it was impossible to produce eggs
for Matching. The plan of con
tracing for outside eggs was
more or less unsatisfactory and a
plan was laid to produce the eggs
under one management.
Mr.. Gilbert had between $500
and 1000 breeding hens, many of
which were trapnested by him in
the past two or three years. With
this flock, the ample poultry
houses and the Is acres of range,
it should be a comparatively easy
matter to produce large number
of pedigreed eggs during the
Matching season.
The Rosebank farm corporation
began in 1916 when Prof. Kirk
land and five associates of Seat
tie secured 800 acres of land east
Of Arlington in Snohomish and in
corporated the Vallamont farms.
Quite a lot of development work
was done but the war period put
a stop temporarily to the work.
Later the name was changed to
the Rosebank corporation, which
included the Matching plant south
Of Vashon where most of the ener-
gies have been expended to build
up a commercial hatchery The
company still holds the Snohom-
ish county property, which is ex-
tremely valuable and will be eX-
plotted at later date.
The consolidation of the two
plants should make the Rosebank
hatchery one of the strongest and
best known i'll the Pacific North
west.

 There's always bodies and dray- loads of itl You'll learn to know hundred interesting personalities, and the trials and tribulations other fat folk suffer as well as you.
 You'll lose flesh. but your leftover weight will be firm and solid. You'll not look flabby. Could anybody ask more? Isn't that dandy! Isn't it just dandy! Isn't it just as you'd have it Fine Institute.
 The Wallace institute has a rec ord behind it of over 20 successful years, and Wallace IS one of the most famous fat-reducing experts in the world. The exercises he gives are made pleasant with fun, and the in- structor uses the photograph, which not only gives directions and counts for you, but plays you pretty tunes while the avoirdupois is leaping off.
 Some of the music Is set in two step, and some of it In waltz time.
 c. F. Greene, manager of the pho nograph department at LCveman's, is an expert on the course. It includes five photographic instruction rec ords. In addition to their being played during the course, he said the lady instructor will, during the time between the various classes, give demonstrations, go through the stunts and exercises and deliver 1ec- lures. In addition, those enrolled will be given lessons tG take home. Tire Wallace photographic course is only two years old, and has just become available for the south.
