TT Is becoming increasingly ap-
parent that the various co-opera-
tive associations, when rightly
4 managed, are able greatly to
benefit the farmers by finding
new products to merchandise. Ere
Quently these new products are from
what has hitherto been merely waste
growth.
Getting better prices for the farmer
is largely matter Of utilizing waste,
and some of the producers co-opera-
tive associations are making splendid
headway in turning unmarketable
waste products into profitable mer-
chandise. The laboratories of several
of the associations have brought forth
new products that the sale depart
ments are now marketing.
r. II. Ellsworth, in discussing this
subject recently. said that the prog
ress made has been appreciable and
that it promises much for the future.
Mr.. Ellsworth is now engaged in col
lecting statistics and material regard
ing the various cooperative organiZa-
tions with the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. He pointed out that even
some of the small co-operativeS have
turned their attention to solving the
problem of how to turn the farmer S
enormous waste into prOntaDle re-
turn.
Recently" he said, "the Georgia
Peach Growers Exchange, one Of the
relatively smaller associations, re-
ported that it had employed re-
search chemist to develop uses for
peaches other than as fresh fruit. 1t
has seldom paid to harvest small,
blemiShed peaches, and these have al
ways constituted a large waste to the
growers, but already the exchange has
pronounced that it has developed a
by-product which has good merchan-
dising possibilities.
"The Walnut Growers Association
has regular by-product department
which has proved an excellent invest
ment. BY utilizing one product alone,
this department has salvaged millions
of dollars for the farmer. Only a
short time ago, the nuts culled on ac.
count of poor appearance and other
defects were not considered market
able, or were sold at a very low price,
but last year, according to a recent re-
port from the association, 6,500,00C
pounds of imperfect nuts were
cracked and converted into several
grades of walnut meats and were
profitably marketed by the by-prod
ucts department.
For years the shells of the nuts
we're not only wasted by-product, but
they entailed an expense. because
| they had to be hauled away from the
nut-craching and packing plants. But
the by-products department found 9

way to utilize them, and the shells
are now converted into a high-grade
charcoal which is readily salable at a
good profit"
Such lines of work as Mr.. Ellis
worth pointed out in the reports are
of a kind that no individual farmer
would be able to carry through sue
cessfully, but Il group of farmers
working together has found such eff
forts highly successful.
Another report related to the ex-
perience of the Florida Citrus En-
change is salvaging the culls of grape
fruit. Previously, blemished, or
small, or misshapen fruit was a loss,
but six of the local associations of the
exchange began, after experiments,
to operate canning plant which
handles nothing but the transformed
product.
Preparations are also under way
among the Florida associations to ex-
tract the essential oils.
A report from the California Fruit
Growers Exchange for the year end
ing October 81, 1924, contained the in
formation that the years program
included greater variety and volume
of research work than of any pre-
vious year. This organization has
been cooperating with the lemon
products group on a number of prob
lens arising in the production of pee
tin. The special method of obtaining
this chemical has been patented in
the name of the exchange.
Both the Florida and California CO.
operative associations are doing in
tenSive work in experimenting with
and finding a market for the various
by-products of the citrus farmers.
Preparations are under way to market
an orange product in combination
with lime and grapefruit. Powdered
lemon juice. needing only water, al
ready has been perfected and the as
sociations are experimenting on a
similar process for preserving orange
juice.
There are at least IL citrus by-prod-
ucts of the Florida Citrus Exchange
alone. One plant at Abraham Park
is turning out 100000 pounds of
candied peel annually. Marmalade
and jellies also are becoming increas-
ingly profitable.
Mr.. Ellsworth noted that while it
was a comparatively recent develop
ment-the utilization of waste prod.
ucts-it has proved that many mil.
lions of dollars may be saved by the
farmers, and that a growing number
of farmers organizations consider
this necessary part of their work.
The farmer thus benefits, for, with
the same AMOUNT of effort, he can,
through his csvn organization, profit
along lines that previously had been
a. direct loss.

ax marks were plainly visible near the heart. The attention of Messrs. W. A. Lanfille and J. HI. Watson, of the United States Bureau of Forestry, who are now in Seward, was called to this curiosity and they made search ing examination of the specimen sub- mitted.
 The tree is of the Sitka Spruce var iety, the botanical name being Picea Sitchenis. At the time the tree was hacked with a Russian ax, it was five inches in diameter and 93 years old. Nine inches of wood has grown out side the hacks and 94 years have elapsed since they were made. These gentlemen base their reasoning on the, to many accepted fact, that a ring is formed for each years growth.
 MT. Sexton has carefully preserved the section which was examined and will no doubt in time present it to some museum or the Alaska historical society.

 succeed another westerner, Justice Stephen K Field of California While regarded by his friends as possessing an engaging personality, and held by them in the highest es- teem, the general demeanor of Jus tice McKenna was austere, severe and distant.
 On the Supreme Court bench he was tempermental at times during the ar gument of counsel showing what some lawyers considered impatience and harshness in propounding in quiries and in commenting upon cases under consideration, he at all times unstintingly devoted himself to the business before the court, and ire quently ignored his own personal con- venience to give patient attention to those who sought him.
 When he was named by President Mckinley to place on the Supreme Court, numerous protests were filed with the Senate Judiciary committee; some charging that while serving as Attorney General he had excluded himself even to those having highly l important business with the office, and others setting forth that he had moi shown sufficient ability while on the circuit court bench to qualify him for the higher post. The senate re- iected the protests and he took his place on the Supreme Court in 1898.
 He was frequently selected during his long service upon the bench to prepare the opinion of the court in imprtant cases, among them being the United Shoe Machinery litigation un- der the Sherman law; various cases relating to the inheritance tax, and those designated as freedom of speech" controversies rising from war legislation.
 Born in Philadelphia, Aug. 10, 1S43, of Irish parentage, Joseph McKenna was but 12 years old when his family crossed the continent and made Beni- cia, California, their home. There he attended public school and was grad uated in law from the Benicia Cole giate Institute. He was elected dis trict attorney of Solano county in 1866, just one year after his gradua- tion.
 After two years in the lower house of the California legislature, he made two unsuccessful campaign for cleo ton to Congress. In the third trlal he won, and served in the Forty-nlntn and three succeeding congresses.
 Resigning from congress at the re- quest of President Harrison to become United States Circuit Judge, he had served five years upon the circuit which included his home state ot Cal ifornia, when he laid aside the er- mine to re-enter political life when his close personal friend, President Mckinley invited him into the cab inet.

 Dispatched from Fairbanks dated November 30 to the Dawson News, say the Tanana metropolis is short on nails. There are still some six and eight-penny nails, but there are no building nails at all. One saw mill man who saw that there would be a shortoge of nails purchased 50 kegs early in the fall. He will hold these nails till Spring when he will sell them to men for the purpose of mak- ing sluiice boxes only.
 The best find of all, has been made on above Fairbanks This a piece of ground that has just given pans running as high as $100. One pan yielded a little more than an even one-hundred. A bucket of the pay rocked out gave the neat little clean up of $400.
 Nearly all the big Dawson concerns are becoming interested in the Tana- na. According to the Dawson Dis- patch, among those to become inter- ested late this year are the follow ing:- Detroit-Yukon Mining Company, The Lewes River Dredging Company, Henry Bratnober, the Carbonneaus and Peter Erickson.
 A Fairbanks dispatch to the Daw- son News says Gate City is building up rapidly. Of late the residents of the town have commenced to looking ahead to bright future for the berg and are preparing for good times next season. A number of buildings are in prospect and actual work has commenced on several large structur- es.
 Fairbanks now has an Eagle Club of about 40 members and charter has been applied for Among the ap- plicants are several of the founders of the Aerie at Dawson The question is now whether it will be the furth ermost north Aerie of the order or whathr Dawson can claim that dis tinction.
 Fred J. Chapman, we'll known in Skagway, writes a friend under date of October 4th, that Fairbanks is the greatest camp in the North and that Tanana is the coming country. Chap man purchased a stock of goods at Dawson and landed in Fairbanks on June 1: He sold the goods at a good price and together with Dan Calla- han opened a saloon in Fairbanks and from the tone of his letter is making all kinds of money. He says that he considers that he has made twenty thousand dollars since June l.. He speaks of a number of Skagway peo- pie and says that they are all doing we'll. number of Dawson miners had arrived and had purchased sev- eral of the best claims on the creek, paying big round prices for the same.

storm began in the early morning.
In west Massachusetts, it deposited
about nine inches, Pittsfield report

the afternoon. Traffic was impeded
for a time but roads were soon
broken out.
A damp snow made walking UNI

slippery and slushy. Boston saw the
flakes steadily falling for more than
II hours and mustered snowshovels
and men to meet the situation. To

Manchester, n. H., had about four
inches. In Portland, Maine, there
was only splitting at mid-afternoon
