WORKING ON PLANS FOR
COLD STORAGE PLANT

Prospects for a cold storage plant
at White Bluffs are getting brighter.
At meeting in the Office of the
White Bluffs Warehouse company on
Tuesday forenoon, attended by about
a dozen growers, H. F. Pashen ex-
planned what he had learned about
cold storage plants in his tour of the
Yakima valley last week in company
with z. N. Loveland and c. l.
Wright; the general benefits to a
community Of such plants, and the
various types the party inspected.
In Mr.. Paschen's opinion a $780,
900 plant would fill the need at White
Bluffs for the present. He suggested
as a location the lots between tho
White Bluffs Warehouse and Acme
Growers warehouse. These lots would
provide space of 80 by $50 feet.
Plans for financing the plant were
also discussed. Mr.. Paschen said that
it would of course be best for the
growers to finance the plant them
selves but that it would probably not
be possible to raise all of the cash
right now and it would probably be
necessary to secure some outside
capital. No definite action was taken
at the meeting but Mr.. Paschen and
Mr.. Loveland went to Seattle Tues
day evenig to confer with Milwaukee
railroad officials regarding an icing
contract and also to interview out
side growers who have orchards here.
Upon their return another meeting
will be called and the matter gone
into further.
Every grower here knows the me-
cessity of a cold storage plant if
this valley is to compete with other
fruit districts and it is quite likely that
a workable plan for financing will be
evolved and that the plant will be
under construction within sixty days
to be ready for next seasons business.

CUTTING POTATO SEED

The common method of ciftting pc
satoes for seed is to cut from The bud
end toward the stem end the long
way of the potato Cutting through
the bud end reduces yields, accord
ing to the Oregon Experiment Sta
#tion: Prof G. r. Hyslop advises that
his bud-end seed piece, il. kept in
tact, is the strongest seed piece of
/ he potato. On the station farm,
plots planted to blossom-end pieces
cut in one-and-a-half ounce sizes,
have yielded twentysseven bushels an
acre more of marketable potatoes
than similar-sized split blossom-end
pieces
Where a single lot of potatoes had
been divided and one part cut to
save the whole blossom end piece
and the other cut in the usual meth
cd, including splitting through the
blossom end, the results were exactly
fifteen bushels an acre of marketable
blossom end in one piece. Tests cars
ried on by farmers in different parts
Of the state bear out the conclusions
of the station.
Reports of E. r. Jackman, extern
sion specialist in farm crops, Ore
gon Agricultural College, who has
had charge of field demonstrations
in potato culture, found that more
vigorous stands and larger yields
were obtained from the whole bios
som end pieces in six counties in
widely differing parts of the state.
In the matters of cutting potato
seed, the Oregon Experiment Station
finds the most practicable size that
ranging from one and half to two
and a half ounces. The most economi
cal size has been the one and half
ounce piece.

M. LUBITSCH TO
A LEADING
"CIT"

While on his recent visit to
New York, Ernst Lubitsch made
1t known that he intends to be-
come a citizen OF this country.
He has taken out his first papers
and only awaits the proper time
to walk right up to the election
booth and drop his ballot in the
box.
In introducing the Warner
director to President Coolidge in
Washington recently, Jack Con-
molly, who represents the Hays
organization here, mentioned the
fact, and Lubitsch feels sure
there was a firmer pressure of
the hand and brighter smile
fl ON the Chief Executive as he
wished him ''the best OF luck in
this country
Lubitsch originally came to
America to make only one pic
ture and return to Germany, but
his cordial reception and success,
and the big opportunities await
ing won him, so he will remain
despite the efforts OF UFA and
other big German concerns to
lure him back
