Evaporated Milk and
Butter Sales Increase

1T is encouraging to note that dur
ing 1881 there was an increased con-
sumption In both butter and evapor-
ated milk. While there was decrease
in cheese and fluid milk consumption,
the butter increase was large enough
to overcome the decrease" declares E.
v. Ellington, head of the State Col
lege dairy husbandry division.
sThe consumption of the important
classes of manufactured dairy products
was one per cent greater last year
than in 1880. Low retail prices are
no doubt responsible in part for the
increased consumption.
"The increased production of milk
has been due to four per cent in
crease in the number of milk cows
during the year, together with an
ample supply of grains and hay sell
ing at low prices. The prices of cat
tie feeds during the last half of 1881
were extremely low, while the prices
received for dairy products was above
the depressed level of prices being re-
ceived by farmers for most agricultural
products. Consequently, dairymen fed
their herds better with resulting in.
creased production.
Call steps that can be legitimate1y
taken to further increase the per cap
ita consumption of butter and other.
dairy products should be undertaken
and continued" points out Mr.. E1ling-
ton, in discussing 1882 dairy conditions.
Publicity concerning the food value
|of dairy products in the family diet
and it's relation to child health is more
effective in increasing consumption
than are low prices

MILK AS A FOOD

All persons interested in keeping healthy, and
particularly the parents of growing children,
should be thoroughly informed as to the value of
milk as food.
It would seem that the constant advices Of doc
tors health officers and similar authorities should
have resulted in adequate milk consumption. But
of it, on the average, is still below the desir
able point. quart of milk will supply 675 calories
about third of the days need of child Of ten,
and about a quarter of the days need of a grown
person. 1t contains, in generous amounts the
three vitamns, A. G, and D, which absolutely
essential to bodily well-beng. It likewise contains
three of the important minerals needed by the
body-calcium, PHOSPHORUS and iron. And it con-
tains protens whose chief work is to build tissue
in the body
It is historical fact that the pastoral people
of other times, being largely milk users, were un-
usually sturdy and healthy. In present times,
milk drinkers commonly in better condition
than those who avoid it. Milk has been called the
most nearly perfect food-a statement that med
ical research has justified.

had better be taken to reduce the
amount of available nitrogen. If it
is one of cover crops possible the best
way would be to remove a part of
the top growth during the season.
There is increasing evidence from year
to year that when our soils begin to
get beyond the ten or twelve year per-
iod of cultivation that phosphates are
needed. Generally speaking we would
say that hundred pounds Of phos-
phoric acid per acre per year for one
or two years may overcome the need
for this for then possibly two or three
year period. For the truck crops where
no other method Of fertilization Is fol-
lowed 1t would seem that as high at
least as 100 pounds Of nitrogen per
acre, 1t would be equivalent to approx
irnately 900 pounds Of ammonium sui
phate per acre, should be about the
normal application. However, we want
to state at this time that good farm
management should include the use Of
leguminous cover crops In definite
rotation and this may very materially
cut down the amount Of nitrogen need
ed to be applied in a commercial
| form.
AS to time of application of fertil-
izers it would seem that fall appli-
cation of two-thirds of the nitrogen
and all of the phosphate and potash,
| if applied, with the addition of the
other third of nitrogen about the first
of March so that it will be available
at blooming time should be the best
practice. For cherries the application
of some nitrogen at about the time
the cherries begin to color should be
| advantageous. For Strawberries, 1t
would seem, from study made in the
east, that the heavy application of
fertility Should be made rather late
j. the growing season, possibly at the
Time that the strawberry patch is
worked over following harvest with
possibly little additional nitrogen
as late as the first of August. 1t may
be that additional nitrogen will be
needed in the spring in some instances.
For asparagus, the main application of
fertilizer can well be made during the
winter months when the asparagus
tops are worked back into the soil
Asparagus will probably require up to
100 pounds of nitrogen per acre for
good stands One can calculate that
each ton of manure applied contains
10 pounds of nitrogen. OF the 100
pounds probably one-half should be
applied in the fall and the balance
applied following the harvesting sea-
son the net year. Under some con-
ditions it may be we'll to apply nitro
gen to the field during the cutting
season Potatoes will probably require
about the same fertilization as straw
berries, although the application, of
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-01-21

course, should be made in the spring
before planting. There may be pos
sibility that under certain conditions
nitrogen applied during the growing
season might be of real benefit.
The irrigation studies discussed by
DR.. Larson and the fruit and tree re-
sponses by L. L. Claypool, both of the
Irrigation Station at Prosser, tended to
show rather strongly that about 40
acre inches of water, whether applied
at Is or 30 day intervals and IL or
"a hour runs, gave the best results as
far as use Of water from a standpoint
Of filling the soil reservoirs was con-
cerned and as far as fruit and tree
growth was concerned. DR.. Larson
brought out particularly that our soil
should be looked upon as a reservoir
and that our irrigation practices should
be such as will just fill this reservoir
to It's full capacity with each irriga-
ton. The nature Of the soil will de-
terrnine the space between bitches, the
length Of runs, and the hours Of run
and the frequency with which it will
need to be filled. AS Doctor Larson
pointed out, there should never be any
filling of this reservoir to the point
that 1t will overflow. Studies along
both lines will be continued and adj
ditional information may be available
another year.
The perennial root stock weed is
real menace to the agriculture of this
county. We now have one area in the
county of approximately 200 acres, that
as far as it's use for general farming
purposes is concerned, might as we'll
be written off the slate. AS far as we
can see, the only program that can
be carried out in the area will be
pasturage program and this probably
to sheep. There are some sixteen of
these perennial root stock weeds now
in the county and the important mat
ter for consideration from the stand
point of the farmer is to learn to know
these weeds and then take immediate
steps to at least prevent their spread
and as soon as financial conditions wiki
warrant, treat the weed area so as to
eliminate it while it is small and may
mean an expenditure of but a few
dollars rather than waiting until the
area has become general and the cost
of treatment is prohibitive for the
type of land that the farmer may have

ed by Mr.. Lampson who emphasized
the fact that asparagus and straw
berries had been the only truck crops
which had consistently paid net re-
turns. Discussion of asparagus brought
out the information that the canned
product put up here in the Yakima
valley has been practically cleaned up
even for such year as this and that
at least reasonable amount of ex-
pansion of the acreage could not hurt
if especial attention was given to the
development of new acreage of high
producing ability. This means giving
careful attention to details of pre-

paration of soil and planting only the
right type of plants. Early onions
were suggested by Mr.. Lampson as a
possible crop from which good returns
could be expected. Potatoes, lettuce,
and spring peas and melons, were not
looked upon as truck crops which
would net the average grower much
over long period of years. Too much
depends upon just the right climatic
conditions for these crops.

FACTS VS. HoKUM

One thing is fairly clear, and that is: 1882 is to
be the great rehabilitation year, says the Business
Chronicle. AS we rebuild wsel y and soidy during
the coming months, so will we gradually and sure
ly work out of domestic difficulties. Dawn
of 1893 should see us once more contented and
prosperous people-if we have learned the lessons
of the panic of 1929 and it's terrible aftermath The
essential thing now is to look facts squarely in
the face, shape plans and policies in accordance
with realities, and get away from political hokum
and economic hooey.

The Modern School
THE MODERN SCHOOL
BY Orville G. Pratt
Superintendent Of Schools, Spokane

Previous to the World War the fin
ancial support for the schools was
adequate In most districts without the
necessity Of asking people by vote to
authorize levy In excess Of ten mills.
The War, however, had the effect Of
greatly decreasing the purchasing pow
Ter of the dollar and thereby increasing
school costs.
On the basis of the dollars pur-
chasing power In 1918, it was worth
only half as much in 1920 and even
yet is worth only two-thirds as much
as in 1918. This is only another way
of saying that it takes three dollars
now to do what two would do in 1918.
This means that school costs, on the
same level of quality must necessarily
be fifty per cent higher than in 1913.
Assessed valuations did not increase
as prices increased. On the contrary,
they remained about the same or de-
creased. Fifty per cent more dollars
were needed but were not available
because of the inflexible tax system.
The amount spent per pupil per day
in 1913 was AZ cents; in 1926 it was
IS cents. Unless one remembered to
take into account the decreased pur-
chasing power of the dollar, he might
wrongly assume that this increase in
pupil day cost of AZ cents in 1913 had
the same purchasing power as 1876
cents in 1925; but the actual expendi-
ture was only IS cents. In other
words, the schools were not so well
supported in 1926 as they were in 1918.
The root of the difficulty in financ-
ing the schools is not their excessive
cost. 1t is the breakdown of the gen.
eral property tax
The basic tenet of taxation is that
everyone should pay taxes in accord
ance with his ability to pay. Under
pioneer conditions, the possession of
property was fairly accurate mea-
sure of ability to pay. But that is
not true as conditions are now.
Since Washington became state in
1889 there has been an enormous shift
of property from tangible to intangible
forms. Tangible property is the kind
like farms and homes, live stock and
crops, which can be seen and therefore

Sci. The fact that stocks acted
poorly isn't as unsettling as their
inability to show any rally worth
more than two cents.
This suggests lower prices with
certainly a test of the double

We still hear of the best buying

though, it's the kind of buying

Accumulation markets in the

has had TO be sent to Baltimore in the past
will now be done at Rockville. Under the
Agreement entered Ito between the coun-
~ and the State Health Department the
State will pay the salary Of the person in
charge Of the laboratories here and furnish
the supplies. and the county agreed to
pay for the original equipment.
