During the nice weather lately
quite a few different contrivances
have been put to use to open the
roads for a and trucks. Some
used a tractor to make a road
The best method has been devised
by Joe Clark, who took his cater
pillar tractor and hooked it to a
tandem disc after which he pulled
two heavy timbers spaced apart to
make a track. This method work
ed real good, in that the cater
pillar tractor did not mind the
deep snow, and the disc broke M
the hard crusted snow real we'll.
then the two timbers left a good
track for the trucks to follow.
The road is now open both to Os-
wego and Frazer.

then everybody thinks of his ma
chinery; if it is ready for the
work. Among others who
thought of this matter is j.

MOVEMENT FROM FARMS
-. STARTED

The question of the movement
of people from farms to cities has
been made question of special
study by DR.. C. j. Galpin and
some of the findings reported in
the official records of recent date.
This question is one which is of
considerable interest to not only
people on the farm but also the
general population of what might
be called rural communities, such
as all of our communities in the
county.
DR.. Galpin reports that the
country people have moved from
country to city even in good years
and began long before the recent
agricultural depression. The prin-
cipal reason for this was an econ
onnic one, thus leaving the farms
behind to earn more in industries
in the larger cities. This has been
brought about by two changes
the increase in sale of industrial
productions which has made il
possible for industries to pay bet

Strawberry FERTILIZATION

j A few years ago, one Of the
eastern states ldid considerable
work on fertilization of straw
berry fields. One of their strong
! est recommendations was the fer
tilization of the strawberry field
Immediately after the removal of
the crop for the season and the
cleaning up of the patc1. The
strawberry plant seems to be a
good deal like the asparagus plant
in that it stores within the crown
of the plant a good deal of plant
food for rapid development of the
plant and crop the following
spring. This would make it seem
logical then, and this was brought
out by the result of experiments
that the field should be fertilized
for growth during the summer
months so that the plant should
be in good thrifty condition for
growth the next spring
It is rather difficult to recon-
mend just the fertilizers which
would give the best results under
cur conditions until fertilizers
have been given a lair trial, but
for those who wish to fertilize
fields at this time the following
recommendations have been made
by Oregon and the Western Sta
tion. The two stations recommend
essentially the same fertilizers
and so We shall recommend but
pne. $50 to 200 lbs. of sodium
nitrate, or 12O to $50 lbs. Of am-
erphosphate and 100 lbs. of muri-
monium sulphate, 400 lbs. of sup-
ate Of potash applied TO the acre
should give good results judging
from all of the information we
have available. If good manure
is available. or 5 tons per acre
spread between the rows and cul-
tivated in should give good results.
The big drawback in using man
Nre for the strawberry field are
the number Of weeds brought out
of the patch by its application.
If one has the time and really
wants to determine real fertiliza-
ton needs of the field it is better
to take two or three rows and fer
tilize with nitrates, another plot
with phosphates and another with
potash and the following other
| plots with combined fertilizers,
combining nitrogen and potash,
nitrogen and phosphate, potash
and phosphate and then leave all
three, leaving rows in between
that are not fertilized. In this way
one should be able to determine
whether there is decided defici-
ency in the soil for the growing
of strawberries and by checking
the yields from the fertilized rows
they could determine the fertile
ers which it would be most econo-
mical to apply.

ter wages, and the increase in
production per unit whetHer in
acres or livestock on the part of
the farmers, so that less farmers
have actually been needed in our
rural communities. Many people
would say that the movement to
increase production per unit is a
movement in the wrong direction,
but since certain farmers are con-
tinually doing this thing Of them
selves because of their careful
study of the business of farming
it is necessary that others follow
the same general principal in ord
er to compete at all with this ever
increasing group who ade ltro-
dlcing more per unit.
The one particular question that
arises is whether we should have
more farmers on the farm, and
| the affirmative answer is, we
believe questionable. The whole
thing must be decided upon an
economic basis. Many communities

that should be pushed on must de-

ture of the community which is
pushed to the front is of a type

tons. In other words it must moi
be marginal region for the type
/ of farming being carried or reg
ion in which margins of profit are
very low because of difficulty OF
productions or special problems in
trans portation or marketing. We
believe that this latter thought
is one Of the most Importance, to
which every community should
give careful consideration before
getting behind any extensive de.
velopment along that line and oi
course is a Thought which any
farmer should give very careful
consideration

MILLION CATTLE TUBERCUL-
IN TESTED IN MARCH

IN TESTED IN MARCH
The largest number of cattle
tested in any single month in the
history of the campaign to wipe
out bovine tuberculosis was test
ed during the month of March,
the exact number being 1,0O9, 731.
Out of this number 27,999 were
found to have tuberculosis. 1t is
hard to place a true value upon
this work and Benton county is to
be congratulated in the way this
county is being tested at the pres
ent time.
DR.. Barnes in his work here in
the county has found since start
ing work March 1st, comparative
few reactors. The largest number
found in any herd was where inn
portation had been made from a
herd which had been affeoted.
DIR. Barnes is covering the
county just as rapidly as possible
completing his work on the final
clean up in the east end of the
county before taking up work in
the White Bluffs or. Benton City
section or completing the work
started in Prosser. Every head in
the county will he tested before
the work is completed, SO if DIR,
Barnes has not yet visited your
place, do not worry, for he will
get to you.

tation, Experienced produce mer-
chants will agree with the state
ment that any fruit or vegetable
of desirable variety, well grown,
carefully harvested, properly
graded, packed and shipped is
more than half sold. On the con-
trary, products poorly grown or
carelessly prepared for market
are always disposed of under a de-
cided handicap.
The appearance of an article of
fruit or produce is the first point
noticed by the consumer, the re-
taller. or the wholesaler. IF the
product is exhibited in dirty or
damaged packages; if it. is slack
packed, decayed or not graded for
size or quality, the best trade will
pass it for other shipments of bet
ter appearance. If upon further
inspection the eating or keeping
qualities are found to be lacking,
the article is sure to be rejected
by the discriminating buyer.
Years of observation on the
part of those closely connected
with the business warrant the
statement that markets are rarely
glutted with fruits or vegetables
| of first-class quality and appear
ance. High7grade products will
sell, and poor grades are going
to waste.
The same thing was brought
out at the potato growers and
dealers meeting at Pendleton last
week. Growers should not attempt
to produce anything but what they
can produce of a high guilty and
the first three things mentioned
as being of Importance in the
above quotations are all import
ant but probably most important
of all is the first one. that of pro-
ducing well grown products. There
seems to be to much of tend
ency for over production on the
part of any one grower to the
point where the grade of stuff
produced is lowered instead of q
high standard being maintained

POTATO CONFERENCE

POTATO CONFERENCE
An outline of the business con-
Quoted at the potato conference at
Pendleton May 28th has just been
received from Mr.. Romans, secre-
tary for this meeting and We are
giving below the main items of
business for this meeting.
During the forenoon, it was
moved that the chair appoint a
committee of three from Washing
ton, three from Oregon and one
from Idaho and Montana. This
conmitte was to formulate recon-
mendations to be acted upon at
this meeting, regarding grades
and rules for handling potatoes by
the Pacific Northwest potato
growers.
This motion was carried unani-
-mously and the chairman, Mr.. R.
c. McCroskey, appointed the fol
lowing committee. Washington
Ralph Allen, Spokane; John T.
Reeves. Sunnyside; P. C. Shem-
well, Walla Walla. Oregon w,
A. Zivney, Oswego; Fred Enter
mile, Baker; D. L. Jamison, Red
mond. Idaho Harry L. Yost,
Boise. Montana Edward Dickey,
Missoula. All of these men with
the exception of Mr.. Dickey were
growers. The committee brought
in the following recommendation
We the undersigned committee,
after carefully considering the
question of grade, pack and brand
ing, recommend as follows:
When the potatoes are packed
for sale, offered for sale, or sold
within the state of Washington,
Oregon. Montana or Idaho, or are
offered for shipment outside of
the above states, such potatoes
shall be graded and branded as
~. S. No. (the state name in
which shipment originated to be
used)" "U. S. Fancy Estate name
TO be used) u. S. No. 2 Estate
name to be used) or mo Grade
Potatoes Estate name to be used
and shall be packed in containers
in conformity with the U. S.
standard grade rules.
BRANDS AND CONTAINERS
Private brands or other terms
may be used with the official
grade title when such brands OF
terms are registered, approved
and recorded by the state depart
ment of agriculture.
All branded containers in which
potatoes are packed must be new
containers or cloth or fibre bags,
which are new or are number one,
recleaned. iunbleached, bright, I'M
damaged, rice paddles, or which
are recleaned, unbleached, bright,
that sacks have unbroken hens
"Undamaged'' is defined to mean
unchanged, number one mills.
and may have not more than two
holes of more than one inch in
diameter.
Dated at Pendleton, Oregon,
this 18th of May, 1928.
JOINT COMMITTEE OF WASH
INGTON. OREGON, MONTANA
AND IDAHO
This report was signed by sew
en- of the eight in the committee
and a minority report was given
orally by Mr.. Reeves. Mr.. Reeves
felt that more explicit Instructions
should be given as to what to de-
-termine the different grades.
The committees report was dis
cussed by paragraphs and on a
motion was adopted.
We believe that these resolu-
tions were sound and that grow
ers should make careful study
of the situation and do everything
possible to get all the information
available in regard to the potato
marketing situation at the present
time and try to readjust the stu
alton before another marketing
season.
