CLEAN CHICKS THROUGH USE
OF BETTER EQUIPMENT

One of the Invest topics for dis
cussion at the recent poultry school
held at Prosser last week was the
protection of chicks from disease
and parasites, particularly coccl-
diosis and tape worms and round
worms. Most poultrymen feel, and
we believe rightly so, that disease
and parasite control is one of the
biggest problems before the poul-
trymen of the Yakima valley.
This year the Extension Service
is recommending the use of hard
ware cloth or fine gravel screen
with one half inch mesh made into
sections on frames made of 1x3-
inch material, which will extend
about three feet beyond the brood
er stove. This improvement has
been used at the college for two
years and has given very good sat
isfaction in the control of wet lit
ter and in the control of coccidio-
sis. The chicks are confined to this
area for the first week or ten days
and then are given the run of the
entire brooder house. During the
time the chicks are on this frame
droppings may be cleaned from un-
derneath only once a week, thus
saving considerable labor and re-
moving the possibility of very
much spread of contagion. Wire
porches in front of the house are
also being recommended, using the
same mesh wire as is being used
inside. These porches should be
built on frames and porch of 9
feet depth and extending the full
length of the house should be am
pie for the chicks for the first 3
weeks. In this way, the chicks are
kept off the ground and have very
little chance to become contamin-
ated through the droppings and
yet have access to sunshine.
Feed can be fed here in hoppers
as well as green feed. This porch
should be built in section which can
be handled easily. Droppings can
be cleaned from underneath occas-
ionally with scraper or sprayed
with oil to overcome the possible
ity of tapeworm infection from
flies. The common house fly and
other flies are intermediate hosts
for the tape worm and these pre-
cautionary measures should elm
mated considerable danger from
this source.
Another precaution which we

PRUNING PEACHES AND
APRICOTS

The pruning of peaches and ap-
ricots following severe winter APP
parently is thing on which some
growers are not well acquainted.
Last year, we had quite a number
of peach trees, especially pruned
in the spring following the winter
injury of 1928-29 which did not
make satisfactory growth during
the season of 1929. If those people,
especially who did not secure sat
isfactory growth from their trees
during the past year, will recall
where growth was secured, / think
they will find that more twig
growth and leaf development was
secured where terminal buds were
left. When tree natures, its
growth in the fall, the terminal
or end buds of the twig seems to
secure more than the norm a l
amount of food material and to be
a little better protected than the
buds along the side of the twig.
This fact should be kept clearly
in mind in the pruning of such
trees as peaches and apricots
where some injury was bound to
have occurred during winter like
the present one.
The pruning of these trees this
spring should be such as will leave
as many of these terminal buds as
possible without leaving too much
growth from last season upon the
tree. In other words, pruning fol-
lowing a severe winter should be
done by thinning out of twigs ra-
Their than by any heading back of
twigs that are to be left. The coun-
ty agent personally saw this clear
" demonstrated in an orchard last
year. Trees which had been prun-
ed early before the severe wealth
! er had practically no crop nor did

Bregger, extension horticultural
specialist, and later by the county
agent at the pruning demonstra-
ton meetings and hort. schools
held during the winter. While this
system of pruning was emphasize
ed the two previous years by M.
D. Armstrong, it probably was not
brought as much to the fore in the
past as it has been this year. This
was shown by the statement of
one grower of the county stating
that he had never heard mention
Of spur pruning until it was brot
out this year. For this reason we
are emphasizing it at this time.
Mr.. Bregger, having spent con-
siderable time in various eastern
states where their orchards are
much older than ours, has seen at
first hand the need Of much Of this
work and the results Of it ard
has recognized Immediately the
need of this type of pruning on
many Of our trees. This probably
is the reason why more emphasis
is being laid upon it this season.
According to Mr.. Bregger, ex-
perimental work has shown that
trees so covered with spurs and
consequently producing so much
bloom have the vitality of the tree
so lowered by the excess blooming
that the setting Of the crop is too
much for the tree and hence we
often have trees blooming with
just a mass Of bloom and then but
few apples setting. This is brought
about by disturbed nitrogen car
bohydrate ratio within the plant,
The plant must have enough nj
trates to keep the tree growing
vigorously if it is to have the vi
tally to bloom and set good crop,
In the tree just mentioned one will
find that nitrates are lacking as
shown by the short tie m j n a
growth of the twigs. When tree
blooms profusely and then cannot
carry on and set q crop this nj

SUCCESS
Bob Campbell

"Are the characteristics of sue
tcess in school the characteristics
of success in after life ?" We be-
lieve they are, but we have our
own ideas about success in school
Maybe everyone won't agree with
us. #
Is the student who always hands
/ in perfect assignments and rates
higher than anyone else scholastic
ally, a success in school? Well.
| it's nice to get high grades, but
that alone is not enough to make
him success. +.
How about the student whose
hief interest is athletics? He cares
little for studies but becomes a
star at sports and is popular with
his classmates. Is he a success ?
1t is hice to be a star athlete. We
admire athletes. But we would be
slow about calling him a success.
How about the amateur politician
who has an oiled tongue and gets
elected to student offices? He is
flashy and glamorous and gets the
upper classmen,s votes. He talks
well and receives the upperclass-
mems support. Is he success? He
could be, but chances are that he
is not.
p NJ
What do we think of the chap
who has none of these qualifica-
tons? He is not particularly bril-
liant in his studies, does not par
ticipate in athletics or politics and
lacks an attractive personality. Is
he a success? Far be it from us to
say so. Perhaps he suffers from an
inferiority complex, or perhaps he
is only stupid, but he is certainly
not success.
Now, let's consider a fellow who
takes his class work earnestly but
not vitality He participates in ath-.
letics if an athlete-if not, he en-
Enthusiastically supports the team.
He has a cheerful, pleasing and
magnetic personality and treats
underclassmen and upperclassmen
alike as fellow students, friends
and comrades. He intellectually
Imports all school activities Wheth-
er or not they are what he voted
for. He dresses neatly and watches
his health. He iswhat does Ell
bert Hubbard say? Oh, yes-he
is radiant. He radiates scholarship,
enthusiasm, cheerfulness, health,
neatness and friendship. He is the
fellow we consider a success in
school and it is he of whom we
are thinking when we say that the
characteristics of success in school
are the characteristics of success in
after life.
