QUALITY AND PROFITS

Every apple grower Of the county
knows that quality product coupled
with high production per acre has
been required more particularly of re-
cent years to bring real net profit
to the grower. Why is this problem
not given more real consideration
when it comes to handling the var
ious problems of the orchard?
Probably the most outstanding loss
es from the quality standpoint is. the
loss due to worms. 1t il possible to
produce crop with not more than
three to five per cent loss from this
problem. Growers are doing it right
here in the county. The aim is high,
but if profits are to be made the
aim must be high. This will be prob
ably Just as true if not even more so
for the coming crop than for the
crop of last year.
With all of the Agencies at work
N the field on this problem including
the Horticultural Inspection Service,
the field men for the various cooper
atives and other selling organizations
nd the valuable information made
valuable this year through the work
f Mr.. Spuler Ct the Experiment
Station, it hardly looks as though
here is very much excuse for at
east high percentage of worms this
rear. The Extension Service, while
rot planning any spray demonstration
meetings this year, because of the
i1any other organizations covering
+his work and because Of the extern
sive program which we already hav
yet are just as much interested in
reeing the fruit growers of the county
secure and follow the best information
valuable 10 matter where it may
cove from.
We wish that we might make this
, personal talk to every fruit grower
Of the county, but since this is not
possible we want to say thru this
news item that it is our opinion that
fruit growers must have definite
program based upon sufficient moth
traps kept regularly to show the act
ual situation, and then follow it, if a
Iood crop is to be secured and profits
are to be the reward at the end of the
year. There is plenty of information
available through the various chan
lels to enable every grower to work
out his program. Get this material
wherever you can get it, but make
! program and follow it.

HIGH PRODUCTION DEMANDS
REARING OF IDEAL BULLETS

Chickens, generation ago, were
bred to lay at the rate of 40 to so
per cent, while today they are bred
to lay at go to 70 per cent rate
Yet the building of these high pro-
ducing pullets has improved very
little. and the result is that many Of
them go to pieces via the blow out"
route, says w. D. Buchanan, extern
sion poultryman, Washington State
College.
This loss can only be remedied
by the growing Of harder and tougher
fleshed pullets instead of the soft
fleshed birds which are being turned
out today by confinement brooding,
hopper feeding without exercise, small
yards, wire covered yards and floors,
limited range or no range at all. and
rapid growing rations. Each of these
factors tends toward softness which
will break under high production.
can important step to combat this
soft and premature development has
been taken by the State College ex-
. riment station in recommending 4
growing ration which has Is per cent
less animal protein than used last
year. This will have a tendency to
slow growth. More oats have been
added to the ration to grow larger
and better muscled birds, and the
hoped feeding of grain is recommend
died to induce the chickens to eat less
mach.
Even though chickens are hopper
foJ cI,N,r1I ko ~~1hal &c
the old fashioned exercise of hunt
ing food" continued Mr.. Buchanan.
"'They must have big scratching
floor covered with Deep clean lit
Ter, and it may be necessary to scat
ter a few handfulls of grain daily
to get the birds to exercise. If pull
lets are confined to small yard or
house, it is imperative that they be
litter fed if they are to stand up
under high production.
-, The ideal method of building up
the desired vigor is to keep the
chicks an pullets scratching in
clean, deep litter until they are
eight or ten weeks old. They should
then be moved to a large, clean
range with plenty of green feed, some
bugs to induce exercise, and little
shade to rest in. AS pullets do not
exercise much in the heat of the day.
the shady places should be covered
with wire platforms about foot
above the ground. Narrow roosts,
feed hopper, and drinking fountains
should be placed on these wire plat
forms to prevent the chickens from
eating filth.
Disease germs and parasites which
prey on the intestinal tract of chick
ems play a large part in producing
weakly pullets. These parasites, in
the egg form, thrive in moist and
shady places. Chickens must there
fore be kept from contact with moist
earth. Parasites lying in dry, dusty
yards soon perish as the sun robs
them Of their vitality. Protect the
pullets with a dry range.
"Slower growth, more exercise,
more muscle growing food, greater
freedom from disease, open range
with plenty of fresh air, and an
abundance of green feed may COM
bine to produce the pullet that will
stand 80 per cent production. 1t is
not impossible. Breeding may have to
be improved before pullets are per-
feet, but the commercial egg pro-
Queer can only take care of his pull
let's after he gets Them" says Mr..
Buchanan, in conclusion.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.-Fires ragged

high as result of the worst floods
in fifty years.
The roaring waters of the rising

from the flood were trapped and
persisted either in the fire or the

was impossible, owing to the deep

Following is the explanation

Following is the explanation of
Ripley's Believe It or Not, which
appeared in Wednesdays Times:
The Astounding Number of
Moves in Chess-There are more
than 100000 ways of playing the
first four moves alone on a chess
board. The two kings with
single reacting piece can be trans
posed 100000 times. With the
first ten moves the total of pos
sible ways rises to 169,000,000,-
100000, 1000, 900, 100000. On the
basis Of these calculations it is
possible to estimate the total
number of possible moves. A
rather conservative estimate fixes
this total at 20,609, 637 1868, fol-
lowed by 70 naughts. 1t is i'm
possible to convey an adequate

MOSCOW, Aug. 13.-It would be
wrong to suppose that living stand
ards in the Soviet Union have been
reduced TO a dead level Of equality
Nobody lives opulently. But there
are numerous degrees Of poverty.
The division of the population
into categories in itself establishes
serious differentiations. The dis
tinction between these categories
is greater than appears at first.
Inequalities In earning power pro-
vide even greater contrasts. Stain
himself has just demanded an
abandonment Of Utopian notions Of
equality Of income, ordering higher
pay for better work.
The Communist Youth Pravda'
recently described a toy factory in
which workers receive q rubles a
month.
Rulers Not Exempt
At the other extreme are special
lists drawing 500 or 600 rubles
monthly and authors netting royal
ties of 1000 rubles a month. Be-
tween these is the great working
mass, averaging about 100 rubles a
month.
The ruling Communists are not
exempt from the hardships. Like
every one else they stand in lines,
subsist on rations and patch their
clothes.
Nevertheless the advantages of
the higher administrative personnel
in government and industry need
not be minimized. Certainly the
head Of great business trust, or
Of an important government de-
partment, does not live in a style
remotely comparable to that of a.
person in a similar position abroad.
State Rules Rigid
There are a good many fantas-
tically ragged men and women,
barefooted, in tattered burlap gar
ments, like characters out of beg
gar's opera; they are part of the
daily scene and attract not the
slightest attention. At the other
end of the scale there are reason
ably well-dressed Russians in west
ern clothes, the men often wearing
the fiat hats Of the engineering fra
ternity. But the great in-betWeen
mass is a gray monotone, sufflci-
emily but poorly dressed.
From a western standpoint the
most distressing phase of Russian
life today is the thorough subor-
dination of the individual to the
state. Every move and thought is
documented, prescribed.
SurpasSes Old Regime
The work he does, the amount
he is given to eat, everything is
arranged by commissions and regu-
lations.
Under voluntary pledge-which
he dare not refuse to make-to
stick to his job he is in effect
chained to it. The penalties for a
breach, sometimes involving the loss
of the ration book, are too harsh to
be fooled with.
Life is no picnic here. But the
human animal adjusts itself to any,
thing. The Russians, in addition,
have known worse.
Lived in Horrible Holes
They remember horrible holes
which served as living quarters for
factory hands in the pre-revolu-
tionary days, and famine periods
compared with which the present
rationed regime seems plenty.
One thing at least the revolution
has done. 1t has removed the fear
of tomorrow which elsewhere weighs
upon the working people. Old age,
illness, maternity, everything is pro-
