Shrimp Cannery Open

The pickers for the local shrimp Cannery-Glacier Sea Food Co.,, are beginning to perk up and take on a new lease of life. The good word has been passed along that the can rery will open on the first day of May.

SEASON LIKE 1923 AND 1926

This years apple crop in the north
west is in some respects comparable
with record crops Of 1923 and 1926
it is pointed out by the federal bureau
of agriculture economies in a review
|of the agricultural situation. ?,
f In 1926, Spr;ces Of western boxed
apples were very low, reaching tha
lowest levels of the season in Novem-
Der and the first part of December.
Much of the lower grades were not
shipped to eastern markets. The
movement of apples into cold storage
was very heavy, in spite Of the fact
that tile preceding years cold storage
operations had not been profitable
Also, the keeping qualities Of some
western apples were affected by an
early freeze in September. Further
more, domestic business conditions in
1926. were good and strong foreign
demand developed. A considerable
advance in apple prices consequently
took place after the low prices of Nov
ernber and December. Prices might
have advanced even more but for the
record supply of eastern apcles.
This year we have again a large
western crop with very low prices, a
situation which will probably keep
some of the lower grade fruit from
the market. Already it appears that
the shipments from the west so far
this season have totaled about 10000
cars, or about per cent less than the
shipments for the same period oi
1926. Cold storage holdings of west
ern varieties this year may again be
considerable, partly because of the
greater supply, partly because OF the
satisfactory experience last spring
when prices advanced. On October
1. cold storage holdings in the Pacific
region were about twice as large as
last year and about 10 per cent lower
than holdings in October, 1925.
The export demand this season ap-
pears favorable. The British apple
crop, particularly the supply OF late
varieties, is below that Of last year
Consumption of apples in the Brit
ISL market is expected to be well
maintained for the balance of the
season. In Germany and Denmark
American apples are at present lind
ing good market. There appears
to be good prospect Of an carrier
demand for American apples on the
European continent this season than
last and of less competition from
foreign surplus producing regions.
All Of these influences, here and
abroad, are likely to produce price
situation this season similar to that
Of 1928 or 1926. During those seasons
+. o. b. prices in the northwest re.
manned low during November and
part of December and then recovered
Only in 1926, however, did the seas
onal advance prove profitable to those
who held fruit of good quality.

NITRATEs FOR THE ORCHARD
By e. c. Durdle

Several orchards in various parts
of the county have been gone over
, with the owner to determine whether
there was an apparent need of nitrates.
Nitrate fertilizers are those which
stimulate leaf and twig growth as
well as assist the plant in the setting
and carrying of more fruit. According
to Mr.. Armstrong, the Extension
Horticulture Specialist trees in the
orchard not making lateral growth
of 10 to IL inches, there is defic-
iency in the nitrates available and
it wcl.ld pay to fertilize this orchard
with some form of nitrate fertilizer,
preferably Ammonium Sulphate which
carries approximately 20 per cent
Nitrogen, or Nitrate of Soda which
carries 16 per cent. The usual rate
of application of these fertilizers to
the orchard, is, 200 pounds of Ammon-
ium Sulphate to the acre or approxi-
mately four pounds to the tree,
where the orchard runs approximately
so trees to the acre. Where Nitrate of
Soda; is applied, ESQ pounds is usually
the application per acre or five pounds
to the tree. giss
The time of application Of Nitrate
fertilizers. according to Mr.. Arm
strong's recommendations is during
the winter months. At this time, the
rains will carry the fertilizer down
into the soil enough that the roots
will be able to take them up in the
spring and yet they will not be
washed out of the soil by irrigation.
Two of the demonstration plots
being run this year were fertilized
with nitrates, and on both Of these,
there was an increased yield in the
demonstration plot over the check
plct. Whether any or all of this was
due to the fertilizers, we can not say
at this time, but undoubtedly the
fertilizers had something to do with
this increase.
We would recommend that orchard
men study their, orchards rather care
fully and see whether they are making
satisfactory growth. If not, it would
seem advisable to fertilize with Nj
trates for year or two.

type of meeting has been big help
to the industry from the state stand
point. It is felt that these meetings
held in the communities should en-
able many more people to get the in
formation which a few were able to
get at the state meeting and thus get
a more general reaction towards pro-
gram development.
We believe that growers, shippers,
and manufacturers, alike, handling any
OF the commodities from the enter
prises, mentioned above, can get a
vast amount of information at these
meetings and that a great deal of
good will result from them. Dealers
and manufacturers are just as welcome
at these meetings as are the grow
ers,y but Of course growers must not
feel that these meetings are not for
them as they are the ones upon which
the program will hinge

HELPS sERENADE HOOVER

Local fans who tuned in their radio
set last Saturday afternoon to get
the returns of the big football game
between the University if Washington
and Stanford, in the big stadium Of
the latter near Palo Alto, California,
got two thrills. The first one was
over the stubborn battle put up by
the University of Washington team
against the crack Stanford eleven,
particularly during the first half Of
the game, and the second thrill came
when they also heard the U. of W.
Pep band playing during the game.
Lloyd Wiehl, White Bluffs boy, is
a member Of the band. Following the
game the Pep band serenaded Presi-
dent-elect Herbert Hoover at his

spirit behind the giving is the same.
For these are they who understand
that continuous campaign against
the disease is essential to prevent its
spread and that more sanatoria, more
county nurses, more child health edu-
cation and more widespread knowl-
edge about tuberculosis is absolutely
necessary, if it is to be controlled.

A WARNING
To Stock Breeders Of the Valley:

There are, believe, two bulls in this valley
being offered for service, which are undesirable
for breeding purposes. They We're sold by me
for beef because in the one case, the dam failed
to produce up to the standard for profitable pro-
duction and has since been butchered, and
the other never has been good individual.
Neither of these bulls is registered, and
neither was sired by my herd sire.
It is better to breed to bull from a good
producing grade COW than to Gull purebred.
7 I have lately sold to W. F. Shaw, a bull
calf that has good production behind it and
that should prove a valuable herd sire. Its
dam is Register of Merit COW, with an official
record of 36279 lbs. Of butterfat at three years
of age. The sire of this calf is 4sGraymere
Crown" which am using for my herd sire
and whose dam is also Register of Merit COW
with an official record Of 772 lbs. of butterfat;
average test, 7.24 per cent She is also a
Gold and Silver Medal cow.
There you have real production, so why
breed tosa Gull bull and decrease the production
of your future herd when you can breed to a
] good bull and increase the production Of each
generation! 81 - *+s u
Ny policy is to sell only the very best Of
my bull calves for breeding purposes, and
those only from my best producing cows.
