WHEN YOUTH FARES FORTH

It is now only matter of few days un- til the usual army of boys and girls, eyes but recently freed from the strain of exam nations and hands clutching diplomas or degrees, will "stand on the threshold of life" as the baccalaureate speakers are so fond of saying.
 The older folks are inclined to sit back in their comfortable chairs and smile at the youngsters as the latter confidently step out to meet the new problems and associations so suddenly thrust upon them "Poor fedgings," one can hear them say, there they are again, thinking they can reform the world-and the world will not be re- formed" m
 But the older folks smiles and criticisms contain more of envy than of pity. How often they have wished they had more of the idealism, nay, dauntless courage, of youth! But they lost it through the com panionship of those wary elders, Age and Experience; and their precious little ambi- tions have been obscured amid the growing responsibilities of taking care of the sick educating the children and performing the other duties of maturity.
 What pity the youngsters cannot pro- fit by the experience of the older folks and thereby avoid the countless pitfalls which drag down so many promising youths! An equal pity that the oldsters cannot retain their former enthusiasm. Probably the world would see fewer failures then, fewer misfts. But the law of life demands other wise. After all, each age has it's own con- pensations. Age it's past and Youth it's future. And when all is said the present crop of youngsters vii produce tomorrow's great men as we'll as it's failures May the latter be scarce

EMOTIONAL THRIET

1t is doubtful If any lasting value
ever results from thrift campaigns
conducted with a predominating lee
ment of hysteria. Thrift Is good COM
mon sense applied in systematic
manner. 1t should be practiced oil
the year round, not just for week
for day or for any other limited
period.
Thrift Is simple virtue and its
values are so apparent, even to a
child mind, that the red-fre, fanfare
and bally-hoo methods sometimes
employed are productive of more
harm than good.
Thrift campaigns should be made
to appeal to the intelligence and
good sense of those to whom they are
directed, rather than to their love of
the spectacular and their desire for
thrill. Such methods are in them
selves entirely lacking in thrift, and
indicate that those responsible for
them have failed to grasp the funda-
mentals of real thrift practice

Tacoma Poultry
association to Banquet
BY HARRY H. COLLIER

The Tacoma Poultry Association at
| its last meeting. voted to hold it's an
| nual banquet Friday, December 8, and
committee of three was appointed
| by President Arthur H. Notter who
will have charge of the arrangements
for the big spread. AS this will be
the twenty-ninth annual dinner, many
of the old timers are expected to at
| tend. The first banquet was held in
January, 1895, the show that year was
| held on Pacific avenue near Ninth
street. The show in 1926 will be
held on Tenth street, near the corner
of A, opposite the Tacoma hotel, the
buildings formerly used by the rail-
roads for ticket offices. The old
timer will remember this building as
having been the home of Helm Cafe,
where they served pan roast and
other she'll fish, in the good old days
before Mr.. Volstead came on the
scene.
The Tacoma poultry association
was organized in December, 1893, and
has held twenty-eight shows, there
fore it celebrates it's twenty-ninth
birthday when it holds this banquet.
1t took one store room to hold the
show held 81 years ago, but this year
the Association has rented four store
rooms and they will all be full to

Washington.
Fred A. Johnson, who was recently
elected to the legislature from the
thirty-eighth district, will superintend
the show, he having held the same
position at Puyallup fair for the last
nineteen years. James II. Nichols is
vice president and he is noted as a
White Wyandotte breeder. Recently
Mr. Nichols five White Wyandottes
laid as follows at the Western Wash
ington egg laying contest: 231, 213,
227, I'll, 201. This is considered a
splendid lay for Wyandottes, which
means that the best layer produced
10 dozen and eggs. At forty cents
per dozen this hen would bring in
$3.50. The one man and wife poul-
try farm on Puget Sound consists of
one thousand hens. One thousand
hens would bring $1,000 If they would
average as well as this great hen.
The mother of this hen won nine first
ribbons and three championships at
the poultry shows, which goes to
prove that the show fowl will lay lots
of eggs.

YARNS of the future will be no
more diversified than the factories
of today, and, following the lead of
industry generally, they will be op-
Grated on larger basis for the sake
of economy in production, according
to j. G. Scott, head of the agricultural
extension service of the Puget Sound
Power & Light Company, in. an ad-
dress delivered at the Southwest
Washington Agricultural Economic
Conference recently held at Tacoma.
The problem that agriculture faces
in this state, says Mr.. Scott, is to so
organize and systematic itself that
it can employ machinery and power
in such a way as to lower the cost of
production. The farmer who has
learnt to measure in terms of uotput
per man hour, and per dollar invested
as we'll as in production per acre IS
finding that specialization si1np)ifies
his problems Of machinery, lowers his

ties.
He then went on to recite a few
actual experiences with irrigation on
farms west of the mountains:
On Mrs Jennie Ferguson's farm
near Puyallup, irrigation made ii
possible not only to double yields, but
to plant and harvest potatoes, lettuce,
cabbage and tomatoes after harvest
ing crop of lettuce, thus getting two
crops from the same land in one sea-
son. Part Of this second crop was
shown at the Western Washington
Fair at Puyallup.
Mr.. o. T. Cline of Edmonds, who
has been irrigating strawberries for
the last six years, has been harvesting
700 crates per acre where his neigh
bors, without irrigation, are harvest
ing only 200 crates per acre.
Mr.. E. w. Bayes of Lynden says
that irrigation marks the difference
between a half crop every other year

The general level of farm prices
dropped from 1874 to 100 per cent of
the pre-war level from September Is
to October IS, the Department of
Agriculture announces in it's monthly
price report issued today.
The October index of 1870, the de-
partment says, is 10 points below
October year ago. and only 10 points
above the 1921 October farm price
level. Cotton and cottonseed prices
alone dropped from 1874 to 81 per cent
of the pre-war average during the
month.
"The downward swing in the mar.
ket price of cotton" according to the
report, "has been reflected by de-
cline Of cents per pound, from 1863
to Ill cents, in the farm price of cot
ton from September is to October Is.
This brings the farm price of cotton
below the five-year pre-war average
of 12.1 cents for October. Cotton is
now in about the same relative posi-
ton when compared with pre-war
prices as corn, oats, and barley dur
ing the past year and with apples this
fall.
"The farm price of oats and barley
advanced in face of further decline
in corn prices; wheat and rye showed
small price gains. The sharp rise in
the market price of hogs between
September and October Is was not
accompanied by similar advance in
the farm price as is usually the case.
1t is possible that cholera losses are
forcing local buyers to discount the
market price more than is usually
necessary.
"While butter prices advanced
slightly, they continue at lower
level than year ago. The farm price
of eggs advanced more sharply than
market prices from September Is to
October Is. While egg prices were
higher than year ago in September,
they dropped below in October.

A few years ago it was found that
the highest producing COWS in sew
eral herds in the Skagit County Cow
Testing Association were all daugh-
tiers of one sire. This fact saved the
life of the animal, and at fourteen
years of age, he is now in active serv-
ice at the Nicely Farm near Burling-
ton. This sire, Sir Korndyke Fayne
DeKol, has one daughter that made
63S pounds fat in year on ordinary
farm care and twice a day milking.
Another one made III pounds fat in
one month, and his daughters were
high COWS in four different herds last
year.
If each COW testing association did
nothing more than to save one such
sire to the industry each year, it
would be money well spent. In al
most every dairy section you find

investment in plant, gives him bet
ter knowledge of market conditions
and paves the way to a larger field of
operation. He has learned that, like
the manufacturer, he must keep his
machinery at work as much OF the
time as possible.
These contentious are proved by
practically all farm surveys made in
recent years. From 1910 to 1920, for
instance. farms of less than 20 acres
increased 81 per cent; farms of ~ to
40 acres increased 6.3 per cent and
farms of more than 1000 acres in
creased 34.4 per cent.
