Egg Production
Needs Curbing

Through series of informal con-
ferences with distributors and pro-
ducers of poultry and eggs, the special
crops section of the agricultural adj
justment administration has begun an
effort to work out a practical plan TO
increase the prices of these commodi-
ties, according to information received
by the agricultural extension service,
Washington state college. AS poultry
and eggs constitutes one Tof Washing
toms major agricultural enterprises,
any plan worked out is expected to
vitality affect poultrymen in this state.
Bringing the prices of poultry and
eggs to pre-war parity is one of the
most puzzling problems facing the adj
iustment administration because poul-
try or eggs are produced on more than
100000 of the approximately 6,Oo,Ooo
farms in the United States. Except for
the commercial poultrymen, poultry is
usually considered a side issue on most
farms It is also possible for producers
to get in and out of poultry and egg
QTOQuCUlOll Ill Oll0 S0d0Ol1, 11A1hAA6 Pooo
ible wide fluctuation of supply ano
! therefore price.
New difficulties are added by the fact
that there are thousands of buyers Of
eggs and poultry scattered widely over
the United States. Marketing of poultry
and eggs is handled by several groups Of
middlemen before these commodities
reach the consumer. The fact that colo
storage supplies of eggs and poultry arr
from 40 to so percent greater than
year ago must be taken into considera
ton If any price-raising plan is to b.
effective.
| AS poultry and eggs are not includes
in the basic commodities listed in tn
agricultural adjustment act, any actio
would necessarily have to be take
through marketing agreements or code
or through reducing the surplus b
purchasing cold storage supplies. Unles
something is done to correct the situa
ton, poultry producers may face highe
prices for feed, labor and living cos1
!. without corresponding increase In tn
prices of commodities they sell.

Inspector Checks UP
On Truck Operators

w. Clair Hubbard, inspector, Of the
state department Of Public Works was
in White Bluffs Saturday to check up
on trucks on this valley.
"There has arisen quite little mis-
understanding and some concern as to
the effect of the new truck law, known
as Chapter 1866, Laws of 1885," said MIR.
Hubbard, "Quite few truck operators,
who will in fact be benefited by the law,
have been led through solicitors to &C
tually subscribe funds to oppose 1t.
president Roosevelt's national pro-
gram calls for bringing all interstate
truck operations under regulation. The
new law In harmony Herewith does the
same thing for interstate operations
ut may be said generally that any
truck operation heretofore legally con-
Quoted may still be legally carried on,
and that where permits are denied Gas
some will have to be) it will in prac-
tically every instance be because OF
violation of Chapter Ill, Laws OF 1921,
the heretofore existing law relating to
auto transportation companies. The
new law merely makes the means OF
enforcing the old law more effective
It is estimated by the Department that
but a very small proportion Of all
trucks moving on the highways will be
adversely affected"
A summary of this law is at the
Spokesman Office and anyone wishing
detailed information concerning its re-
i gulations, may get that Information
here.

Cure for Gumosis Given
BY Benton County Agent
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

Many requests have come to the
county agent for cause and treatment
of a gumosis condition of particularly
young cherry trees, most of the injury
showing up in the crotch of schattold
branches. We feel that without much
question this injury was due to the
winter conditions of the past winter.
The gumosis condition has shown up
on some trees as early as very shortly
after leafing time last spring until the
present time. Probably those who are
Just noticing injury now have just not
checked their trees as closely as those
who have noticed the injury earlier
A careful examination Of the tree
will show that the branch between the
bark and the trunk has been killed and
that nature in trying to correct this
has thrown extra sap into this area
and this has caused the forming OF
gum. In some cases the extra sap has
has probably caused killing back to a
little greater area than was originally
affected. Examination of the trees at
this time will show without question
the dead area of the bark and very
often rather deep cavity below more or
less filed up with gum.
The treatment should consist OF re-
moving the dead bark with sharp
rather heavy knife removing all OF the
bark to the live area. The exposed area
of the exposed area Of the wood ano
the edges of the bark should then be
covered with a good grating wax
such as that which we have beer
using in grating work in this county
Formula for this can be secured at the
county agents Office and the construc'
tion of heater for keeping it meltee
can also be secured there. This paint
ing of the area with the grating wal
will seal in the exposed wood under
meath and the edges of the bark pre-
vent it from drying out and ana a
the same time allows a new growtl
of cambium to eventually cover In
injured area.
The above method Of treatment Q
these trees was recommended 10 sew
eral growers this spring and a chec
with them shows that they are a.
well satisfied with the treatment. In
winter months, however, would be
much better time to do this work tina
any time during the growing per1ot
Any one wishing further instructor
as to the method of treating tines
trees may see the county agent.

WATER SYSTEM NOISES

Rambling noises in farm water
system can usually be eliminated
by setting the water back or the
heating element level in the kit
chen range so that the hottest
water may circulate freely instead
of being trapped and converted in
to steam, which causes the rumb-
ling, says the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Engineering, u. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture. O..
The water back usually is a hol-
low iron casting, set in the kitchen
range fire box opposite the oven.
It has two tappings, inlet and OUT
let, for Sd or / inch pipe. The
lower tapping or inlet and the up
per tapping or outlet are piped to
low and high connections in the
side of the hot water supply tank.
The upper tapping should be flush
with the inside top of the water
back.
In a furance, the fire-box or
pipe should be either level or pre-
ferably arranged to allow con-
tinual rise from cold water inlet to
hot water outlet. Often the circu-
lation may be. improved by using

larger or better pitched hot water
pipe from the coil or water back
toto the boiler.
Most noises in boilers and pipes
are caused by slow, air-bound,
or overheated circulation. A hot
fire may intensity the rumbling in
"a boiler and pipe until is seems
like a violent pounding. 1t is poor
economy to heat water faster than
at the faucets. Steam at faucets
indicates that the boiler water is
above boiling temperature and not
that the boiler is filled with steam.
Faucets should not be closed so
quickly as to cause the familiar
noise as a water hammer.
