PLEA IS VOICED
THAT HOMES Be
GIVEN CHILDREN
Sal Dependents Reported
in Institutions of Marion
County.

A plea for good homes and fos-
ter parents for at least some of the
541 dependent children in Marion
county institutions is voiced by Sec
rotary John A. Brown of the state
board of charities, in report on
dependents made public today.
Many of these children are
bright and capable" Browns re-
port states, and continues, they
ought not to be in institutions. The
state board of charities will be glad
to communicate with anyone will
ing to give one of them a home.
There were 2,572 children in foS-
ter homes throughout the state on
September 30, 1928, according to a
survey just completed by the chill
dren's department of the state board
of charities and incorporated in the
secretary's report. The survey COW
erS the last thirty-one years.
within that period from 1870 in
addition to regular visiting of chill
dren in foster homes, which is their
main activity, the state agents

themselves have found homes for
5.l38 children. according to Brown.
OF every 100 placed, seventy-one
did not appear again on the rec
ords as dependent children Three
hundred forty-nine have been
adopted and 376 still are being
visited.
Each one OF the 2.572 children in
foster homes was visited by state
agent at least once during the year
Altogether, 2,7OO visits we're made,
and in only "a per cent of the
cases were conditions surrounding
the children found unsatisfactory,
the report states.
OF these 2,572 children, 376 were
placed by the state department and
2.196 by the county boards and in
stitutions.
In addition to the children in fos-
ter homes, there we're 2,150 on the
mothers allowance lists of the
boards of children's guardians on
Sept. 80, 1928.
This last group has been increaS-
ing steadily since enactment of the
1928 amendment to the board of
guardians law, according to Brown.
At the same time, there has been a
steady growth in the population of
children's institutions and in the
number of children made public
wards year by year.
Between 1928 and 1923 there was
an increase of 1913 per cent in the
population of the children's insti-
tutions and of As per. cent in the
number of children made public
wards.
The argument frequently adj
vanced that mothers aid law
would decrease the institution popu-
lation has not been proved, it is

Dr. Head saying that this condi-
tlon known as gum pocket or as

would put this injury in the same
class as the drought spot on an

Head, the same condition which

gum pockets in the prune.
In our conversation with DR.
Head this spring regarding tha
bitter pit in the apple, DR.. Heald
stated that there was no question
that this was due to disturbed
water relation in the plant or a
drought condition. This might not
be due to actually allowing the
tree to become dry but might he
brought on by winter injury which
has affected some trees in the
county last winter. This winter in
jury affects the cambium and the
growing tissue of the plant and
would retard the normal movement
of water through the tree and in
this way bring about the gum
pocket conditions.
Those having experienced this
condition in the past should take
especial precautions to see that
there are no seasons of the year
when the plant suffers from lack
of water and that the trees 90 in
to winter condition in just as well
ripened condition as it is possible
to get. This is one place where the
use of possibly $50 to 200 pounds
OF superphosphate to the acre

besides assisting the plant to de-
velop a good fruit crop.

WHAT MAKES A FAIR

entertainment features, or real CO.
operation of the part of the people
of the community in the exhibiting
of the products Of the farm and
home. Since the fair is first and
last and all the time an exhibition
of the products of the community,
We feel that this is the most inn
portant thing and that if anything
is to be left out, is should not be
this feature. Therefore, we urge
every grower of the community to
exhibit at least some products of
the farm or home at the fair this
year. There was not a department
represented last year which could
not have stood at least two or
three times the number of exhibits
that were to be found. Superin-
tendents of the various depart
ments give of their time and en-
ergy to make their departments a
success and do this all gratis, the
same thing may be said Of the fair
board, all of it being done with
the idea of developing within the
community, an enterprise which
shall be a community enterprise
and valuable educational -fea-
ture for both the producer and the
consumer. We feel that it is only
fair that every producer of the
community should give a little
time to the gathering of exhibits
rom home or farm to compete with
other exhibits of like natalre ex-
hibited. We are going to urge that
every grower of the community
make an earnest attempt to have
an exhibit of some nature at the
fair this year. We trust that every
department. superintendent will
nave the whole hearted support of
she community in the exhibiting
If products which will make this
feature of the fair really worth
while.

BROADCAST CLUB PROGRAM

A All club program to be broad
cast from Washington, D. c. has
been planned by extension forces
there. The first notice of this pro-
gram did not include any north
west stations in the broadcast in
general, but recent letter has
been received saying that KSL,
KPO, KAP, KGW and KHQ and
KMO will broadcast the program
in cooperation with other stations.
This cooperation of the northwest
stations was secured by O. M.
Plummer, who is very much inter
ested in the club movement.
The time for the porgram for
western stations is from 1920 to
11:15 a. m. The program will be
devoted to music and entertainment
features with about half an hour
of the time given to news and in
formation contributed by repre-
sentive All club boys and girls
and local club leaders, and federal
and state officials conducting the
club work.
Boys and girls from homes where
they have a radio can very profit
ably listen in on these programs
which will occur on the first Sat
urday of each month.

will ordinary check any damage.
Cleaning away the litter from
around the trees will help mater
tally. Many orchardists make the
mistake of placing poisoned grain
around tree in cleared area.
This is seldom touched, as the pest
keeps under cover wherever pos
sible.

jure the trees during September
and October, but will do consider
able damage to the picked fruit,
before it reaches the packing
house. Here again caches of poi

ton. The caches should be fire.
quently examined and replenished.
After the fruit harvest, the last
OF October and the month of Nov
ember, the orchard should be CIV
en- thorough poisoning. Bats
should be dropped under the cover
crop in the well-worn surface run
ways. 1t is better to put out MANY
small bats within a block of four
trees, rather than a large one. A
retreatment is usually necessary
about two weeks after the first.
The number of active runways will
determine this, and the damage
done to the dropped fruit.
Many orchards have apparently
been damaged after the mice were
killed off. Investigation revealed
that while poisoning had been
thoro in the orchard, the canal
banks, grass, and weed-covered
waste ground bordering the orch
ard had been neglected. The mi
grafton of mice depend largely on
the food supply and shelter.
Anticipating a probable demand
for poisoned grain, the Biological
Survey is planning to mix several
tons. This grain will be available
through E. C. Durdle, county agent
at his Office in Kennewick. Durdle
will be glad to investigate and as
sist any grower who is having
trouble in controlling mice.
