Much Accomplished
In Welfare Work

A report Of great interest to the
whole community was read before the
Woman's club Wednesday by Mrs. -.
s. Wilkinson, chairman Of the Child
Welfare committee, who directs the
activities of the Christmas Seal Sale,
the pre-school health clinic, the den.-5
tai clinic, and is Of great assistance to-
the county nurse and county doctor
in their work here.
Because of the measles epidemic last
year, no dental clinic was held ana,
the health clinic was postponed until
fall. At that time DR.. Albert NC
Gown, child specialist on the WERA
staff, examined more than fifty babies
and pre-school children, gave advice
concerning diets, etc., and In ADDITION
he and his nurses administered sixty
one toxoid injections giving immuni-
zation against diphtheria to pre-school
children and those in the lower grades
whose parents desired it. He also gave
physical examinations to forty-flve
high school students who planned to
take part in athletics during the year.
The annual sale of Anti-Tubercu-
losis Christmas Seals netted $3.50
from White Bluffs. Mantoux tests were
given last April; five of the forty
high school students taking it gave
positive reactions, as did six out OF
the sixty-seven in the grade school
and two of the fourteen adults tested
These cases needed careful observation
and dietary supervision. This they
were given by Miss Alice Brakel, the
county nurse.
The big health news of last year
of course, was the epidemic of measles
which closed the White Bluffs schools
for three weeks. Mrs. Wilkinson re-
ported over 100 cases to the stats
health department, as well as three o.
four cases of mumps.
The Welfare department. this veal
has tried new feature, adult educa'
ton, with two classes in corrective
gymnasium and a sewing class. Thes'
classes, conducted by the VERA, vii
continue until June.
Several local people also were exam
med at the county chest clinics, an
F|eother attempt to control and eradl
cate tuberculosis. At the present tim
plans are well underway for thl
springs dental and health clinics.

Delicious Lead In
Apple Price Lists

According to preliminary report on
certain economic phases Of the apple
industry in Central Washington, grow
ers In this section received an average
of $1.O5 per box for packed apples OF
all varieties and grades for the IL
year period, 1922 to 1888, inclusive. The
report was released by Edward 9.
johnson, director of the agricultural
experiment station at the State Col
lege of Washington.
Receipts from Delicious topped the
list with an average of $1.41 per box
for all grades, but because OF heavy
paintings these have declined rapidly
in recent years. Winter Bananas aver
aged $1.1O, and yellow Newtons and
Winesaps we're the only other varieties
to return more than an average OF
$1OO per box for the twelve years,
While these figures may be changed
slightly when the final analysis is COM
pleted, they are believed to be approx
imately correct.
Important preliminary data on prices,
quality, percentage of apples in each
grade, varieties, yield, costs of pro-
duction, harvesting, and packing are
contained in the preliminary release.
It is expected that more compre-
hensive and detailed report will be
ready for publication in the near flu
ture.
This report is the result of CO.
operative study of the economics OF
the apple industry in central Wash
ington by the Federal Land Bank Of
Spokane and the Agricultural Expert
ment Station of the State College, anc

MAXIMUM LITTERS
MAKE HOG PROFITS

Pork profits depend to a large eX-
tent upon saving the maximum num-
Der of pigs out of each litter narrowed,
according to Con S. Maddox, state COL
lege extension animal husbandman.
If only three pigs are saved out OF
q litter of 10 the original cost is prac-
tically tripled and profits decrease &C
cordingly. Many early losses OF pigs
are caused by allowing the pigs to be
chilled at narrowing time or permit
ting the SOW to lie down on them.
The SOW should be placed in far
rowing pen that has been scalded with
boiling water mixed with I've, and fur
Their disinfected with coal tar dip.
Crankcase oil may be applied to the
SOW with a brush or old broom to Kill
all lice and underparts should be
washed with warm water and soap to
protect the pigs from internal and ex-
ternal parasites. Placing the SOW in
the pen at least five days before the
narrowing date and feeding her on a
light ration of laxative feeds will COM
plete the preliminary preparations.
AS soon as the SOW complies farrow-
ing the pigs should have their sharp
needle-teeth clipped. This can be
quickly done with a pair of nippers
and the pigs returned to the SOW. If
the SOW is unusually large, heavy far
rowing rails or other devices should be
used to keep her from lying on the
pigs and smothering them. The far
rowing pen must be warm enough to
prevent the pigs from being chilled
Water should be before the SOW con-
stantly but no feed should be given for
the first IL hours after narrowing I'M
less the SOW is extremely restless. Al
ter IL hour or the second day, a double
handful of bulky grain mixture with
about third rolled oats or bran car
be given. The feed should be increased
a pound day until the SOW is or
full feed at the end of ten days.
When 10 to IA days old, the SOW
and pigs should be moved to clear
ground to avoid worms and other para
sites. Creeps should be built and TIT
pigs started on whole wheat Wher
two or three weeks old

Variety And Stage OF Development
Are Among Factors In Frost Damage

iured more easily by frost than strong
blossoms The same frost will cause a
greater kill on weak tree than on
strong and healthy tree.
3. Variety-Some varieties Of decid-
uous fruits are more easily injured by
frost than others Delicious and Wine
sap are the tenderest varieties Of APP
pies in this regard, while Rome Beauty
and Yellow Newton are much more
hardy. The Buerre Bose pear Is more
susceptible to damage by frost than
most other commercial varieties OF
pears at similar stages of development,
whereas the Winter Nellis is harder
than most others. Pear blossoms of the
Anjou variety may be injured by frost
without the blackening of the ovules,
the injury being evidenced later by
an unusually heavy dropping OF the
small green fruits.

Arrangements for making emergency
crop and livestock loans to Pacific
Northwest farmers out of the $60OOO,-
900 fund just appropriated by Congress
are being completed with all possible
speed, it is announced by the regional
office at Spokane which serves this
territory.
Application forms and regulations
are being run off the press at double
speed for distribution to county loan
committees and every effort will be
made to close loans with utmost dis
patch after they have been approved
by the local committees.
, Instructions received by the emer-
gency loan division of the farm credit
administration at Spokane, in charge
of disbursing loan funds out OF the
special appropriation specify that only
farmers who are unable to obtain sup
plies or feed elsewhere, or the credit
to purchase such items, will be fin
anced.
Security will consist of a first lien
on the crops financed or the livestock
to be fed. Tenants must obtain
waiver from the landowner subordin-
ating his interest in the crops grown
with loan proceeds; but the land
owner is not obligated for repayment
of such loan. The interest rate will
be 5k per cent
Although the maximum loan to an
individual farmer has been raised to
$500, no loan will be made for more
than the actual cash cost required for
crop production or feed purchasing
Loans for production or purchase OF
live stock feed will be limited to the
amounts required until the time when
the borrowers pasturage, forage or
grain crops are available, and may not
exceed $40 per head per month for
horses and mules, $3.50 for cattle, Sc
cents for sheep, 35 cents for goats, 81
for hogs, and ST per acre for forage
crops.
AS in the past, applications for emer-
gency crop and feed loans will be
made through county committees al
ready set up in most counties, with
the county agent as secretary in mos
cases. An application for loan O.
$500 or less may be made directly tt
the county committee. However, if thu
applicant requires a loan larger thar
5000, he must first get a Statement
from his local production credit as
ISOLATION showing his application TO
a loan of approximately the same am
cunt has been rejected. In the case o
fruit and vegetable loans, the limit j
raised to $500 before rejection from
a production credit association is re
quired. Production credit association

RECOVERY HITS
CRIME SNAG,
SAYS TUTTLE

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S U.N.SO.
"Crime is one Of the biggest
obstacles to economic recovery
II l. holding back the whole ma
tiOn, and the crime bill Of bill
lions is steadily rising.
"Gangsters are being armed
by firearms makers to meet the
attacks Of police and Federal
agents.
"The real criminal is not the
racketeer nor the gangster, but
the Indifferent citizen"
Thus did Charles H. Tuttle, for
mer United States District Attor-
ney attack the crime problem in
an address today before the Fed
eral Grand Jurors Association,
which met in annual session at
the Bar Association Building.
Mr.. Tuttle defended the pro-
posal to extend the authority of
Federal agents to join forces with
local officials in running down
criminals. He denied any State
officials had ever been made less
efficient by Federal intervention.
Federal legislation to place fire.
arms manufacture under Federal
Jurisdiction was advocated. He
said:
firearms makers, like muni.
tiOns makers, are in the business
for profit. IT is seldom that
profit knows patriotism or re-
Straint. In a recent autOmO-
bile killing, Federal agents en-
gagged in a battle with gang
Sters. Both sides shot it out.
Later we learned that the gang.
SterS had the same make ma
chine guns used by the Federal
agents.
"Why don't we give the Gov.
ernment agents the advantage?
What agency is it that is sup
plying gangsters with the guns
to meet the attacks of the law?"

Interest in musical circles is,
centered on the forthcoming pro-
duction Of Verdi's ever-popular
La Traviata," to be presented in
Constitution Hall on Tuesday,
January 2.
If the production of the opera
is. a success, a long-felt want in
the Capital will be filled, a place
where opera can be produced in
proper surroundings.
In the past various theaters have
been utilized, but the objection on
the part of the producers has
been that they were too small, or
too costly to justify bringing
opera here.
The Metropolitan presented
one season at the Fox Theater,
and travelling companies have
often used the National, which at
this time Of year is booked with
plays and not available.
The Washington Auditorium
has been used. But the acoustics
there are not good, and the place
is so vast that the effects are lost.
And so, if Constitution Hall
should prove all desired a great
problem would be solved. The hall
seats close to 1000 persons, is so
located as to be easily available
and has ample parking space.
It will be necessary, of course,
to buil6 out the stage, which is
too shallow at the present time
and an orchestra pit must also be
constructed.
The Cosmopolitan Opera Asso-
citation of New York, headed by the
dynamic Max Rabinoff, will pre-
sent the opera, with cast headed
by Eds de Philippe, brilliant
young American prima donna;
Armand Tokatyan, the noted star
of the Metropolitan, and Jean
Fardulli, young Greek baritone,
widely known in Europe, who is
making his American debut.
And the day after the opera
comes another great musical treat,
the second appearance here this
season of the famed Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, under the direc.
ton of DR.. Serge Koussevitzky.
The program is unusual in that
it offers two symphonies rather
than one symphony and a group
of shorter works, as is usually
found.
For this second appearance, DR.,
KouSsevitzky has selected the ro-
mantle Fourth Symphony of Bee
