the Presidents cabinet was seen to-
day by Professor William z. Ripley

SIX ACRES FOR
GARDENS, OFFER

Large Tract Is Available,
If Needy Want to
Raise Truck

Appeals for garden plots in the
city to feed hungry families this
summer have touched the heart of
one prominent business man, and
as a result The Times today is seek
ing almost forty needy, unemployed
men 10 till large strip Of land
near Southeastern avenue and
Sherman drive.
Il have six acres on South Sher-
man drive, just south Of Southeast
ern avenue" wrote F. w. Cornelius,
general manager of the Frank M.
Dell Coal Company.
IF you feel that you can man
age this ground in such way that
it is properly divided among people
who want to make gardens and who
are needy, I would be willing to put
1t under your care for this season"
he said.
Cornelius had read several sto-
ries In The Times asking landown-
ers to donate their vacant lots to
a worthy cause this spring.
Many requests have been received
for garden spaces, but Of these sew
eral live far from spaces already
donated.
Plea late last week for additional
lots brought in many, so that now
there are more garden plots than
gardeners.
Perhaps you, one of the unem-
ployed men willing to till a tract
of land for food this summer, will
work on one Of these:

POULTRY AND EGGS
OUTLOOK FOR 1881.

Although the number Of layers and:

Uses to be somewhat less than in 1880,
the prices of eggs during the first
half of the year will be lower than
for the same period in 1880. The de-.
mand for eggs for storage this spring.
is likely to be weak, in view of the
losses to storage operators during the
past year. Also, decrease in egg re-
quirements from hatcheries and a
weaker demand from breaking plants
may be expected. Improvement in the
price trend for eggs may be expected,
however, for the last half of the year..
In view of the prospective smaller
number of pullets which will be raised
this year egg production will probably
be lighter next fall and winter. AS
storage stocks this year will also be
lighter than in 1880, egg prices should
show at least the normal fall seasonal
rise, although they will probably not
reach the high peaks of recent years.
The western states, the section which
produced the greatest increase during
the past season, amounted to approx

Forestry Dept. at the State College
at very reasonable figure and when
rnany home owners can start shrubs by
making cuttings of number OF
varieties, securing these cuttings in
his immediate community, it seems
that it is largely matter of planning
a little time for this thing and then
giving attention to it. We believe
that the planting should be arranged
so as to do appropriate for the area
and yet not be so extensive as to re-
ouire considerable work in taking
care of it. This should be entirely
possible for the average farm of the
County and it is right along this
line that help will be given to the
White Bluffs, Hanford and Walnut
Grove communities. While it is true
that possibly at no time for a
period Of years less money has been
available for this kind OF thing, yet
il is probable that at this time many
people will have little more time
to give to this, and that one can
afford to give time now easier than
previously.
Other communities interested In
this work should take the matter up
either with the Home Demonstration
Agent or the County Extension
Agent when meetings can be ar
ranged. q

EGG PRICES

The 1891 spring prices are likely
to be much below those of the
spring Of 1880. Present conditions
indicate a weak demand on the part
of storage operators during the
coming spring, due to heavy losses
incurred this past fall and winter
on eggs stored last spring. Further
it is expected that there will be a
considerable decrease in Matching
this year by commercial hatcheries.
The outlook for the fall and winter
of 1931-1932 is little more encourag-
ing. With the prospective decrease in
number of pullets raised this year.
laying flocks next fall are likely to
be smaller than in the fall of 1880.
Smaller cold storage holdings will al
60 afford less competition to the
fresh egg receipts. Prices should,
therefore, be above those of the cor
responding period in the preceding
year. Any improvement in the econ
omic situation during the last half of
the year will be an added factor in
strengthening egg prices.

THE TOMATO OUTLOOK
FOR 1881.

The harvesting acreage for toma-
to production for market reached it's
outstanding point in 1880, with an in
crease of II percent over 1929. which
was about 20 percent above the, pre-
vio''e five wear average. The average
yield per acre was decreased about
10 percent partly because of the pre-
1c-oei DROUGHT this being the lowest
Weld per acre in the past 13 years.
The average price received by grow
ers for tomatoes in 1880 was the
lowest in the last II years except In
1927. 1t is evident that plants Of this
con have been expanded roo RAPIDLY
during recent seasons. With the pro-
liability Of higher yields In 1881 than
last year a reduction In the total
tomato acreage seems advisable.
The above 10 almost direct quota
ton from U. s. D. A. outlook.
n1a-+ires' locally re;eht differ some
what due to our somewhat isolated
~'+r7t'or as far as tomatoes are
concerned. brit It would look as
though careful attention should be
given to the outlook information.

Drying cut seed potatoes for few
days before planting gives better
results in yields than any other
treatment. This is the assertion OF
O.. M. Morris and H. ]. Jensen Of
the Washington State college, who
made a thorough study of the tuber
situation in the irrigated districts OF
Washington.
The drying is recommended as a
method to be generally practiced. If
this cannot be done, then busting
the freshly cut seed with flowers Of
sulphur is suggested as the next
best method.
The freshly cut seed planted i'm
mediately commonly fails to pro-
duce full stand OF plants. Irregu-
larities in the stand of plants are
commonly ignored in commercial
fields except in extreme cases. This
results in lower yields than are usu-
ally obtained with good stand.

THE TURKEY OUTLOOK
FOR 1881.

Notwithstanding the decrease in
numbers of turkeys produced in 1880
compared with 1929, the tendency
during recent years toward an up
ward trend in turkey production
seems destined to continue, due to
the increasing number and size of
specialized flocks handled on a COM
mercial scale by producers using
modern methods. Improved methods
of incubating and breeding are re-
ducing the cost of raising turkeys
and making it possible to sell them
at prices nearer to the market price
of chickens. This narrowed price diff
ferential, if continued, will increase
the consumption sufficiently to absorb
a material increase in production.
Regarding the 1881 outlook, no de-
finite conclusion can be drawn be-
cause of the general lack of infor-
nation. coupled with the particular
of turkey raising due to
weather conditions. While largely
overcome by these using the i'm
proved methods of breeding the losses
from unfavorable weather are still
an important element in the number
of turkeys raised from the ordinary
small flock of poults allowed to range
with the hen. The extremely light
storage reserve Of turkeys and the
prospects Of light Imports are favor,
able for the 1881 turkey producer.
Farm prices for turkeys for 1880,
Thanksgiving market were about IL.
lower per pound than the previous
year in spite of the decrease in the
size of the turkey crop. Retail prices
were but slightly lower than in 1929.
The prevailing industrial conditions
were probably largely responsible for
the falling off in price thru the win
ter months. The market, however,
improved somewhat later in the win
ter and the supplies were rather
cleaned up by the Christmas trade.

THE POTATO OUTLOOK
FOR 1881.
CONTINUED from page one).

1880 over 1929. However if the aver
age production for the preceding five
year period, 19241928 inclusive, had
prevailed in 1929 and 1880 the total
crop from the acreage planted would
have been close to 4O0,OOO,00O bus
hels each year. If such production
had occurred this year, 1880. indica-
tons are that the supply of potatoes
would have been in excess of con.
sumptive requirements and the price
would have been below cost of pro-
duction. Drought conditions in Min.
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
caused this much smaller produc-
ton 1929 and 1880. If average pro
auction is secured in these states
IN 1881 there will be much stronger
competition in middle western mar
kets for shipments from the far
western states.
Total storage stocks on hand lam
uary l in the U. S. were about the
same as one year ago. Storage stocks
4 IN most producing areas were short
OF last year except in the Pacific
Northwest where potatoes in storage
are much heavier than one year ago.
The percentage increase in planting
Intended 1881 as compared with 1885
are: Washington 4 percent; Oregon.
