HARRINGTON

The regular monthly meeting o.
the Harrington Fire Company was
held in the fire house last evening
with Vice-President' w. r. Massey
in the chair. Either the company
did not have much business or it was
handled with much speed, the meet
ing was over before 3 O'Clock and
usually the company is in session
until after ten. The new fire truck
has been on the job twice since its
arrival last week, the company
made their first payment on it and
the balance of the contract chat of
painting and recOnditioning Old
truck is being fulfilled by the
United States Fire Apparatus Co., of
Wilmington. The company stated
this work would be completed in
about one month. The treasurer re-
ported a balance of $527. The fire
recorder reported ave alarms dur
ing the month of March, the damage
i'm most cases was very small. The
company paid their annual dues in
the DelMar-Na Firemen's AssOcia-
ton. The company will likely be
represented at Cape Charles, Va, the
next place of meeting. After the
other piece of equipment is return
ed, the underwriters are expected to
make a test of both bumpers. The
fire company received a cash dOna-
tion of $1,000 from Tharp Galloway.

The railroads of the country, their backs to the
wall, no longer fighting each other for business
but are showing signs of banding together to
fight their common foe, the trucks.
Under such plan they would pool their equip
ment and trackage, to the end that freight would
be moved between points by the shortest route
and minimum of expense. To illustrate, an N.
P car rolling to the Coast would be switched at
Lind to the Milwaukee and sent over that road to
Ellensburg, to save the longer haul around by way
of Pasco and Yakima.
It is said that thousands Of such savings could
be made and that through consolidation of clerical
forces and the pooling Of equipment, millions of
dollars could be eliminated in overhead and oper-
ating COSTS
If such program should be carried out to it's
logical conclusion the building of the Wenatchee
Southern would loom large It would tie in all of
the territory along the Columbia river between
Wenatchee and Kennewick and it would also tap
four transcontinental roads, the Great Northern
Milwaukee, N. p and Union Pacific, and the vast
territory served by these roads.
Under such circumstances, the Wenatchee
Southern would prove very valuable in the as
sembing of full capacity trains on the four trans
continental roads and should assist materially in
the dispatch Of freight to it's destination, particu
larly the long hauls.

On Monday morning following the
Thanksgiving vacation a general an
nouncement was made concerning
High School students who have been
staying out of school to help with the
fall work. Any absence from school
handicaps the student in keeping up
to the standard set by the pupils in
regular attendance, and consequently
many who have been out are very low
in their subjects.
From now on until the end of the
school year, excuses to stay out for
work will be granted only on the
teachers permission based on the quail
ity of the work being done by that stu
dent at that time in his subjects. This
permission must be obtained before the
pupil remains away from school, other
wise the actual time missed will have
to be made up at extra periods before
and after school, in order to get full
credit.
Students and parents are asked to
cooperate in this matter as passing
grades cannot be made with half the
amount of time spent on them.

DRY PICKING OF TURKEYS
EXPLAINED AT MEETINGS
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. C. Durdle)
The two turkey dressing meetings
held in the county few weeks ago, one
at the H. Piert farm at Finley and the
other at the Buena Vista school at
Prosser, were we'll attended. Mr.. B. F.
Patheal of Richland who conducted the
demonstration and killing and dry
picking at both places and Mr.. Piert
who conducted the demonstration and
killing and semi scalding at the Piert
farm answered questions of turkey
growers who were present. Everyone
seemed to have left the meeting with
a feeling that it had been very sue
cesful and these meetings should
mean that more birds in proper con-
dition to kill and more birds that
are we'll dressed should go to market
from this county this year.
w. E. Starkey, manager of the Yak
ina Branch of the Washington Coop
erative Egg and Poultry Association
was present and discussed the general
market situation and the methods by
which the Coop was taking care of
the marketing of birds going through
tht channel. He stated that while he
realized it was unsafe to predict flu
ture prices that there was hardly
anything in the situation now which
would warrent any grower sending
birds to market which are not yet in
prime condition to market and taking
the consequent drop in price due to
what could be secured on the later
markets.
Two new details in the dressing
Of turkeys were brought out by Mr.
Patheal this year which we believe
was worth the while of any of the Older
turkey growers who were present These
were first, the washing of the feet of
the bird before it is hung up to be
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-12-01

killed. This saves handling the bird
when they are cold and difficult to han
die and when the feet are stiff and
difficult to clean. A bucket of water
handy with reasonably stiff brush
in the hands of the killer will clean
the feet in a very little time.
Second, the leaving Of the feathers
over the hips until toward the last of
the picking will save in many cases a
more or less blood shot looking condi-
ton of the thigh and upper drum
stick For some reason or other these
feathers when pulled before the bird
has been thoroughly bled seems to
draw blood into the feather folicle.
If there are very many of these it leaves
a redeemed condition of this part of
the bird.
just to review very briefly those who
are going to be killing should first be
sure that the bird carries plenty of
flesh and fat, reasonably free of pin
feathers, that the birds are not fed
the night proceeding the day on which
the birds are to be killed but that
they are given penty of water to drink.
The house or shed in which the tur-
keys are shut up must be free of any
thing that the turkeys might eat Cases
have been reported to us that where
the birds have been filled up on chips
and droppings and this of course will
leave the crop filled with this mater
ial and the bird will be decidedly off
grade. Good bleeding and proper kill
ing, once the bird is in condition to
kill should make it possible for the
grower to dress out high percentage
of prime birds providing one is care
full in the dressing and does not re-
move thin outer skin called the
bloom and leave condition which is
clled burn. Special precautions should
be taken to see that the blood clots
are removed from the mouth so that
the bird will bleed out completely

The Psychology class recently con-
Quoted an interesting experiment, I'M
der the direction of Mrs. Nelson. The
class has been studying the five senses
and their location. In order to prove
the statement that the sense of taste
really depends more on sense organs
in the nose than in the mouth, several
students were subjected to the follow
ing experiment: Blind-folded, and with
nostrils stuffed, they were fed pieces
of onion, apple and potato to show
that without the sense of smell, all
food tastes the same. Some remained
unconvinced, however, maintaining
that an onion is still an onion, under
any conditions.

LET'S BE SOCIABLE

Now that the harvest is over and most Of the
fall work done, many of the people in communities
of this kind find they have more leisure and time
passes slowly.
In times like these there is an inclination
the part of most of to look too much the dark
side of things. This creates unhealthy mental
condition and the only cure is more social inter-
course with our neighbors.
If you are member of the Grange, a lodge or
any other organization, go to the meetings, see
your friends and neighbors, and take part in the
discussions
We have tendency to become too much inter-
ested in ourselves and quite often forget that after
all, our problems pretty much the problems of
the community. Discussion with neghbors often
develops solutions that before did not seem prob
able.

The student body of the High School

Test last week. Similar tests were given
at the same time in the Grade School.
The tests consist of eight sections,
testing the students knowledge and
accuracy in mental processes of all
kinds. There accompanies the tests,
key, by which it is possible to acer-
tain whether student ranks low, av-

Vitamin G Content Of
Apples Being Studied
lBy County Agent E. c. Durdle)

lBy County Agent E. C. Durdle)
Washington apples are being studied
for their vitirnin G content by DR.. Es-
ther L. Batchelder, assistant professor
Of nutrition in the college of home
economics at Washington State college.
The present plans of the college of
home economics and the agricultural
experiment station, working in coopera-
ton, are to determine the vitamin C
content of Delicious apples before and
common holding temperatures, 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit and As degrees Fab
renheit.
It is hoped that these studies will
give useful information concerning
both the value Of the apples as an
antiscorbutic food and the most advis-
able method of storing them for the
winter use.
In addition to this work, two of DR.,
Batchelder's students will investigate
the vitamin g value of other Washing
ton products. Mrs. Mary Nye will study
the effect of a special method of
cooking upon the vitamin G content of
Jonathan apples. Miss Lois Startling is
to investigate the vitamin G content
of frozen blackberries.
The vitanlin G content of Winesap
apples is comparable to that of most
other apples. They averaged about
one-tenth of a unit per gram, or three
units per ounce, according to Miss My
ra T. Potter, formerly of the state
college staff. The work was conducted
for two years.
Great interest in the study of diff
ferent varieties of apples has been a.
reused by the discovery in England
that one English cooking apple, Bran
ley's Seeding, is richer in vitamin g
than other apples commonly used in
England. This variety compared IA
vorably with the richest source of vi
tmin @, being as rich as tomato and
one-half as rich as orange or lemon
juice. Most other apples studied have
proven to be from one third to one-se-
'CAAGA1 do IT'LL do GO4A1dCOeS Ill V1GdIllIl
G, explains DR.. Batchelder.
This new study will be part of a
plan to investigate the vitamin con-
tent of different varieties of Washing
ton fruits and the effect of the differ
ent conditions upon them, announces
e. @. Johnson, director of the agricul-
tural experiment station. The different
conditions will include variations in
soils, fertilizers, storage practices and
the college of home economics at the
state college will cooperate in making
the Investigations.

CITY FOLKS GETTING HUNGRY

The back o-the-f farm movement has brought the
farm population up to 80 million, just 100000 short
of the record established in 1910. There is every
indication that this drift will continue until the
economic balance is restored. The farm may have
it's drawbacks but the farmers always have plenty
to eat-whch cannot be said right now of the city
