GETTING CHICKS THAT PAY

the trip nest; the practical farmer
and the poultryman who is producing
eggs for market, must select his hens
by culling. He will not be able to
tell exactly how many eggs his hens
have laid; but he should be able to
select hens of high production, 175
eggs or better. If he is buying chicks
he should buy from hens that have
been so selected, and he should know
that they have been so selected be-
fore he buys.
Having determined to get chicks or
Matching eggs from hens that have
been carefully selected, he should be
sure that they are mated to cockerels
of equal or greater production. The
only way that this can be done with
certainty is to select cockerels from
hens Of known high trapnest record
Nobody can tell, by looking at cock
erel, how many eggs his mother laid.
Mating high producing females to
males from high producing dams is
the first step; but it is not the most
important one. The final test of a
good breeding flock is that it shall
have vigor and stamina and the abil-
ity to transmit this stamina to its
offspring.

New Northwest Radio
Station OPENS ian. /

The New Year will see a new ant
powerful Seattle broadcasting station
of the most modern design and con
struction on the air, according to an
nouncement made by Wallace Fisher
president of Fishers Blend Station
Inc, by which it will be owned and
operated. Equipment is due to be
shipped this week from Chicago and
the first program is planned for New
New Years Eve.
! AS may be surmised from the name
of the operating company, the station
is controlled by the owners of the
Fisher FIGURING Mills, one of whose
featured products is Fishers Blend
Flour
1t is to be standard Western Elec-
trio Company station of 1000 watts,
the only one of it's kind on the Pacific
Coast north of Portland. Others of
similar type are KEW, Portland (;
KPO, San Francisco; KFSD, San
Diego; KTAB, Oakland, and KPSN,
Pasadena.
The transmitter will be on Harbor
Island, near the Fisher FIGURING Mills
plant, where the towers and the new
building in which the equipment will
be housed are now under construction.
There will be small studio at the
same site, but the main studios will
be in the Metropolitan center, whence
the program will be carried by wire
to the transmitting station.
The studios will be large and beau
tifully furnished and, like the sending
equipment, of the most modern type,
and, in keeping with the standard set,
1t Is planned to broadcast programs
of the highest class, of the character
that will most satisfactorily meet the
public taste. Various kinds OF pro-
grams will be broadcast.
The new equipment Is expected to
arrive in Seattle very shortly, accom-.
panied by an engineer from the fac
tory, who will install II.
The call letters and wave length Of
the station will be announced later.
In addition TO Wallace Fisher, presi
dent, the officers Of Fishers Blend

If basket were filled with articles
ranging in value from worthless stuff
to gems of rarest price, a blind man
might, by accident or chance, get
something desirable by reaching into
the basket and taking the first article
that touched his hand. So poultry
man, moving with no intelligence and
cropping hindly in the dark, may by
chance get good chicks. But he is
just as likely to get something me-
dunn or poor.
Chicks that pay big profits are OBJ
tanned by intelligent choice, and not
by accident. This is true whether the
chicks are produced on the farm or
purchased from hatchery. Good
chicks do not come from poor stock.
Chicks that are born to lay 200 eggs
must carry a rich inheritance for egg
production. The sire and the dam are
both important in the factor of inner
itance.
Chicks come from eggs; therefore
the first step is to select hens that
are fit to lay the kind Of eggs that
will produce profitable chicks Profit
able chicks are those that develop in
to pullets that lay many eggs; there
fore their mothers must be selected
for egg production.
The real breeder will do this with

Motion pictures are gradually
bringing to the American public an
intimate knowledge Of their great
industries. "The Worlds Telephone

of such films now in circulation.
During the past year it has been

One of the most interesting parts

FUR BEARERS AND WEARERs

The steadily diminishing supply of
fur animals in the United States tends
to prove that the "fur wearer" is in.
creasing faster than the "fur bearer"
Collectors of raw furs estimate that
the catch during the past season
(1925-26) was approximately 20 per
cent less than in the previous season.
Formerly the decrease has been in
the more valuable pelts. such as mar
ten, fisher, and beaver, but now the
decrease is effecting such staples as
muskrat and raccoon. The value of
the annual catch of fur rs years ago
is roughly estimated at $25,O00,00O;
the catch today is estimated at more
than $60,000,0O0. Even this figure no
doubt would have been exceeded,
says the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, If the supply had been main
tanned.

NINE YEARS OF CUERNSEYS I'm CLACKAMAS
COUNTY, OREGON
BY E. I. MISSIONER

Nine years ago there were 1S
Guernsey breeders in Clackamas
county They met in Oregon City
on August 18, 1917, and organized the
Clackamas County Guernsey Cattle
Club, the object being to promote the
interests of the breeders and to es-
tabllsh q center for Guernsey cattle.
Since that time they have been maxi
ing steady progress each year. i'm
proving their herds, adding better
animals and in the meantime, getting
new breeders over the county.
In November of that same year
they imported to their county a car
load of Guernseys selected from some
of the best herds in the Middle West
and East. In this shipment were ami
mails rich in the blood of Langwater
Demonstration, Yeoman's King of the
May, Langwater Hambro and few
other noted animals.
In June, 1920, the Guernsey breed
ers of Clackamas county purchased 80
excellent animals imported direct
from the Island of Guernsey, which
were also rich In some of the best
blood of the Island. In June the fol
lowing year. 1921, a few other i'm
ported animals were brought to the
county.
On these females they have been
using sons and grandsons Of such
noted Guernsey bulls as Langwater
Traveller with 70 registered and IS
advanced registry daughters, one,
Daisy Of Chicona, worlds class
leader; Yeoman's King of the May,
bull that has 176 registered daughters
and SO advanced registry daughters
that average over 400 pounds of fat;
Langwater Demonstration with 1853
registered daughters and 100 regis
daughters that average over 400
pounds of fat; Langwater Hambro, a
noted bull that died young, but has
q advanced registry daughters some
with over 800 pounds OF fat, and
Langwater Eastern King, one of the
highest priced bulls in America.
The Clackamas County Guernsey
breeders have been steadily improv-
Ing their herds and new breeders
have started breeding Guernseys in
the county SO that in nine years,
starting with Is Guernsey breeders,
they now have over 70 Guernsey
breeders within the county
Their aim in the beginning was to
some day have each year an annual
sale where they could offer some of
their choice animals to the public
They have developed this to point
so that sale Is being arranged for at
the county fair grounds at Candy on
Wednesday, December /, where 80
head of registered Guernsey cattle, Sc
lected from the Guernsey herds of
Clackamas county, will be sold at auc-
ton.

the flat cars. The journey over the
mountains would require only few
hours during average winters. The
motorists would either remain seated
in their machines or ride in pas
senger coach attached to the ferry,
according to the plan.
"The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway, because it is electrified,
would doubtless be the best fitted to
inaugurate such a SERVICE" said H.
A. Chadwick, a member of the board
of directors of the Washington auto
club. "The trip between terminals
should not be of more than two hours
duration, and I am sure that a trial
of the plan for few weeks this
fall would show it to be not only
great benefit to motorists on both sides
of the range but would prove profit
able for the railroad. And it would
be the next thing to keeping high
way open across the mountains all
winter"
Electrics Most Efficient
The electric locomotives of the
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul, it
was pointed out, being far more power
full than the steam locomotive and
being immune to the effects of the
freezing temperatures, maintain the
highest standards of regular train SER
vice over the Cascades, Bitter Root
and Rocky Mountains.
While the volume of traffic likely
to be handled is very uncertain, owing
to the fact that nothing of the sort
has ever been attempted before,
Douglas Shelor, manager of the Auto
mobile Club Of Washington, predicts
that the operation will be profitable,
since thousands of cars each winter
make a trip between Eastern and
Western Washington by the way of
the Columbia River, at much greater
expense in time and money than will
be required under the proposed ar
rangement.

BUY YOUR SUNSHINE BY THE CAN

ID UYING Climate" has been 6
II popular pastime Of million
aires who build villa here
and Spanish mansion there, SO
that they may have the benefit of
the very best which can be bought
in climate.
Purchasing canned sunshine and
air in the form Of can of Ha-
waiian pineapple is a less expen-
sive pastime which the housewife
can enjoy for a quarter.
Botanically, the pineapple be-
longs to a very peculiar family of
"air plants" The Spanish moss
that Grapes trees in the Southern
regions Of Florida and Louisiana,
is an air plant, and a species of
pineapple-so are orchids and
vanilla. But the pineapple, par
ticularly absorbs and thrives on
air. Growers say that pine
apple plant may be pulled from
the field, thrown on dry ma
cadam road and will live for weeks
since most of it's nourishment
comes from the air.
Anyone. then who has breathed
the air Of the Paradise Islands
the fresh warm air, salt laden,
that is waited over the Pacific by
trade winds and warmed by the
tropical sun, can understand some
thing Of the health-giving prop
critics which go to make up the
pineapple. Plantation owners rea-
lized this fact, during the early
history of the pineapple planta-
tons. They looked at the big
golden fruits ripening in the fields,
and then at greener fruits which
were the only ones which could
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-11-26

be safely shipped. Pineapple can
not be shipped ripe as it bruises
too easily. So. all the pineapple
which reached the housewife at
that time, had to be ripened in
the holds of shipping vessels.
Most of the natural fruit sugar
was lost, as the pineapple is an
air plant, and cannot ripen prop
erly without sun and air.
And then was born the thought
Of the canned pineapple. The fruit
could be allowed to ripen in the
field, thus imprisoning all it's nat
ural fruit sugar. Then at it's
splendid maturity, it could be pre-
served for the housewives use!
"Once the pineapple are in cans,
there is the whole world for mar
ket" they began to say. And they
kept on saying it, until the dream
of worldwide use of canned pine
apple began to approach fulfill
ment.
Today, pineapples are shipped in
cans to every part OF the world,
because the facilities for handling
the fruit at high speed, have made
it possible to literally "can sun
shine and air" which has made
up the fruit itself.
Directly alongside the two larg-
est canneries in Honolulu is can
factory which can turn out
/ 100000 cans day. AS Gamers
use far more than a million a day
in the busy season, the can factor
les work through the entire year,
cans which will carry

There is very considerable volume

Pacific during the greater part of the
year but this movement is completely
