Bruce Cation in NEA Service-There
appears to be a close relationship be-
tween newspaper reading and success
full democracy.
Recent studies in the consumption Of
newsprint paper (Which is a rough in.
dex of the number of newspapers
printed and read show that in the
democratic countries of the world con-
sumption of newsprint is high. In
countries of less democratic form it is
low.
Here are the figures: In the United
Kingdom in 1886, 80 pounds of news
print a year were used for each person
In the United States it was 81.
Now follow the figures down through
other countries and think, as you read
them, of the degree of democracy each
country has. Australia and New Zeal
and, So; Canada, SO; Scandinavia, &c;
Netherlands, %; France, ID; Japan, 10;
Finland, 13; Germany, IL; Russia, Italy
and Mexico, 3; Brazil, 2.
The parallel is not perfect, of course,
but it runs close enough to suggest that
in today's world only those countries
whose people read newspapers widely
can maintain democratic government.
If you stop to think about it for just
moment, you can see that it must be
that way. Under system where the
people themselves make the decisions
on economic, political and social queS-
tons, they must be informed if they
are to make the right decisions and thus
make democracy work. And no other
popular medium has ever been devised
that is half as informative as the daily
In countries where peoples opinions
come to them ready-made over the air
from the powers-that-be, in a form
that they must accept unthinkingly, or
else, newspapers do not flourish. Nor
do they flourish in countries where
everyone knows the papers are nothing
but sounding boards for the officials
who are maintaining themselves in
power.
Note also that those democratic
countries which stand highest in news
print consumption also have the best
the most Informative.
Glenn Frank, the educator who is now
sought by the Republican party to chart
It's course, once said that a good news
paper, thoughtfully and carefully read,
may be the equivalent of college edu-
cation And so it may be, given intel
ligent, fair editorship, and thoughtful,
critical reading.
You can read your newspapers, think
about what is said, criticize it, go back
and read it again, all quietly, thought
fully and at your own time. That is
where newspapers stand alone as organs
If information. That is why there is
such a direct relationship between
newspaper reading and democracy.

Summer Pullet Range
Needs Special Care

Poultlymen who are using a sum-
mer range for pullets may be in
terested in the following sugges-
tons made by the State College of
Washington poultry department:
1. Use free range system when
a two. or better still, three year
rotation system is possible.
2. Use wire foored portable open
air shelters for pullets on range.
3. Move range shelter fifty feet
or more every two weeks.
4. Keep drinking fountains and
feed hoppers on wire covered frames
and move with the houses. Shift
the location around houses more
frequently
S. AS soon as the houses are
moved, remove the droppings and
disinfect the ground with a flame
burner or scrape clean and lime
heavily with air Stacked lime. Lime
with Jumps in it should not be used
on the pullet range.
6. Provide limited amount OF
shade. such as surfowers or corr,
but do not permit birds to run in
sWampy land or field that is under
irrigation.
Z. Provide plenty of hopper
space on the range. Keep fresh
supply of scratch and mash in the
hoppers.

Farm Fire Hazards
Need Close Watch

Farmers should give special at
tention to fire hazards during the
hot, dry days of late summer, says
L. j. Smith, head of the depart
ment of agricultural engineering at
the state college. A small grass or
rubbish fire may get to one of the
farm buildings and cause consid-
cradle damage.
In case the farm is not equipped
with good pressure system, it is
we'll to have several barrels full of
water near the various buildings
with water pals in the barrels for
immediate use. The first two min
utes at a fire are said to be worth
more than the next two hours, and
often few pals OF water quickly
applied will save a valuable build
ing. The farmer is urged to use
special precautions in regard to
smoking and matches. 1t is also adj
visable to check over the ladders
to see that they are in good con-
dition and are conveniently located
for immediate use.

Routine Repairs On
Poultry Plant Pay

Careful attention to routine
cleaning and maintenance jobs will
pay the poultryman big dividends,
say State College porltrymen. The
poultry house and equipment should
receive regular cleaning, prefer
ably with a solution made from one
pound of lye and six gallons OF
water. Apply this solution to the
hoor and lower part of the wall,
and to the poultry equipment.
Brush it into the cracks and Gre
vices with an old broom.
Spray the roosts with an oil
spray, giving special attention TO
the cracks or joints of the wood
which may harbor mites. Put a
deep litter on the floor and darken
the nests. The nests should con-
tain plenty OF soft nesting material
so that the birds will more readily
seek. sec1usion in the nest when
Starting to lay.
An occasional general overhaul of
buildings and equipment is an aid
to a smooth running plant. Atten-
ton should be given to such appa1-
entity minor items as repairing door
catches, replacing of broken window
panes, replacing and cleaning light
bulbs, mending leaks in the roof,
and repairing hoppers, roosting
racks and Watering equipment.
These items may seem unhnport-
ant, but if neglected they may Ds
the cause Of lessening egg produc-
ton.

Honey Is Recognized
AS Good Child Food

Honey is particularly well adap-
ted as food for children, says DR..
r. L. Webster, ento1nologist at
Washington state college. Honey
contains approximately equal parts
Of grape sugar which the chemist
would call glucose, and Of fruit SUI
gar, which is termed fI-uctose I'm
like cane sugar this is inverted SUI
gar, which means that it is pre-
digested. Being simple sugars, they
are utilized somewhat more readily
In the human body than the more
complex sugars, and for that rea-
son honey is often recommended by
doctors as a food for children.
In addition, says Dr.. Webster,
honey contains in small amounts
such minerals as iron, sulphur, CAL
ci,nm, potassium and phosphorus,
all of which are useful and val
liable in the human body Comb
honey has been found to contain
.rnall amounts of vitaanin b, which
is useful in maintaining a proper
balance in human metabolisan

the cooperative efforts of all of the
men who are assisting in the eX-
detrimental program of the station
the annual Field Day this year will
surpass any held in former years

Field Day To Mark
19 Years Of Progress

Nineteen years of progress in the
experimental program of the Irrl-
cation Branch Experiment Station
at Prosser will be marked by the
18th annual Field Day at that sta
ton on Tuesday, August 2, accord
ing to Superintendent H. P Sing
Teton.
EARLY in 1919 the first sagebrush
was cleared from the station lands
and the development work was
started. The choice Of virgin lana
as the location for the station was
fortunate, in that complete records
of the develc .-:inent. creeping and
cultural practices are available fol
all fields. These records are of ma
terial value in studying trends in
production on irrigated farm" and
in Interpreting results from the nu-
nlerous experiments that are con-
Quoted.
The experimental program Ct tn
Irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton is part of the statewide pro-
gram of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, State College OF
Washington. The irrigation station
is distinctly branch of the main
station and as such is directly re-
sponsible to the director of the ex-
pertinent station. Each phase of
the work is planned in cooperation
with, and is approved by, the re-
spective department. of the maui
station. This has meant the devel-
opment of a sound experimental
program. ),
The stations activities have been
expanded and it's value increased
through the cooperation with sew
eral federal agencies. The division
of western irrigation agriculture of
the bureau of plant industry has

ing policy.
Faced with a record tree crop OF
$4,000 cars, it was estimated that
diversion of 20 per cent of the yieio
to other than fresh fruit channels
would be necessary to maintain a
market of $500 per box delivered
"a price that is about the lowest
that will net any kind OF return
to an efficient producer. An attempt
to ship volume that would mar
ket the entire crop resulted last
May in prices of $3.50 per box or
less.
"At the $3.50 price the grower
nets % cents per box. At the $500
price he receives 70 cents for 80
per cent of his crop, plus the re-
turns on his diverted percentage
that goes to the professor. He re-
ceives nearly three times as much
for regulating his supply to the VOL
ume that the market will absorb,
and the consumer pays only one
fourth of a cent more per orange"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-07-22
Advertising Increases Orange
CONSUMPTION $50 Per Cent

The problem of cooperative mar
keting-to build a system of grower
owned and controlled organizations
that will bring living returns to the
producer-has three distinct as
poets, according to G. G. league,
president of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange and the Calhor-
mia Walnut Growers Association
They are:
1. The reduction of costs at point
CT production.
Q. Marketing and sterilization Of
price.
3. The securing and maintain
ing of sufficient volume to effect
jvely accomplish these detectives
league, who spoke at the open
ing session of the 18th annual Am
erican Institute of Cooperation at
Washington State College last week,
stressed the services made possible
by group action for better quality
better returns and reduced costs. He
described government assistance
through marketing agreements, sur
plus purchasing, and benefit pay
nents as helpful but only stop
gaps which relieve the pain but do
not cure"
1.-The cure" he said, Lies in in
creased consumer demand. Most of
the substantial effort in advertising,
trade work, and expansion of mar
kets for the agricultural industries
with which I am familiar has been
made by the producers themselves
through their cooperative market
ing organizations.
The Sunkist growers have invest
ed $25,0O0,000 in consumer adver-
tisirg and merchandising in 80
years When this advertising began
the per capita consumption OF
oranges stood at 81. Today it has
increased $50 per cent to 80. Group
action has made possible sus-
tanned research program to find
new uses for the product, and new,
sound reasons for it's consumption
to be stressed n advertising"
Regulation of distribution to sta
billie the market and improve re-
turns has been practiced for many
years by California growers, and
has been furthered more recently
by federal and state marketing
agreements, Mr. league said. The
effectiveness of this program from
the growers standpoint was eXem-
plified by the 1898 Valencia market

Britons Will Buy!
400 Waarrplanles
Made In America

LONDON, June 10. (UP)-The

nounced that it has accepted the
Recommendation of special mis-

from the United States, and will
purchase 400 fighting planes from
American factories. . -
. Contracts have been negotiated,
it was announced, for 200 general
reconnaissance planes and 2OO
other ships suitable for advanced
training duties as result of the air
missions recommendations. 'ts A..
1t was learned that the 200 gen.
eral reconnaissance planes will be
purchased from the Lockheed Cor
poration at Burbank, Calf from
the latest standard type perfected
for general pursuit purposes.
The advanced trainers" are
being purchased from North AM

wood, Calf. The. training ships
are regarded as the latest in de-
sign. .l .aas e! su".'s. cssl
The purchase of American-made
warplanes was decided upon in
order to overcome lag IN the
pace of Britain's re-armamenti in
the air. The showdown in plane
construction in British plants has
resulted in bitter attacks on the
government in parliament, with
charges that Germany is 'outhuild-
ing Britain two planes to one.
