OLD JUDGE: Simply this. That poor chap

AN UNFINISHED
RIPPLE ROCK:

TT IS to be hoped most devoutly that the resolution
 adopted by the Pacific Northwest Trade Association at it's convention in Victoria last week, urging the federal of Canada to complete the removal of Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows, will bear fruit
 It will be recalled that, at the start of the war, the United States government offered to undertake the task at its expense. The Canadians rejected the offer homever, pointing out that the hazard to navigation located in dominion waters and taking the position that it was therefore their responsibility alone.
 They proceeded to attack the underwater rock with utmost diligence But after spending a million

FASTER ELECTRICAL COOKING
 WITH NEW BURNER

4 NEW development designed to end the housewife s "A complaint about the slowness of electrical cook ing is announced by the Procter Electric Company, whose engineers have perfected surface burner that will heat up fast gas burner and also may be controlled thermOStaticaly.
 Joseph w. Myers, vice president of the Proctor re- department reported that the unit consists of three parts: heating coil embedded in heat-conduc- tive cement; switch arrangement called super charger that supplies extra current to bring the cold burner up to red heat within fraction of minute; and center disc containing thermostat that makes 1t possible to maintain any cooking temperature de- sired.
 The burner control switch operates much like the oven switches on many gas stoves, MT. Myers ex- plained It is set at the desired temperature, then pushed in and released to start the supercharger When the proper temperature is reached, the super charger automatically goes off, allowing the unit to operate at normal wattage.
 Instead of the high medium and low speeds to which most electric burners are restricted, this device will allow the burner to be set at any speed ranging from "tepid warm" for keeping food warm without burning it, to constant high speed for cooking French fried potatoes 1t was announced
 Since the thermostat is governed by the tempera- ture of the food in the cooking utensl that rests it, it will the burner off and necessary to cooking.
 In addition to its advantages in cooking, several convenences in upkeep also have been claimed for the new burner It can be cleaned easily by wping with damp cloth It is not supposed to corrode or warp, to crack under extreme changes in tempera- ture
 Since the company makes only the smaller type of electrical appliance it does not plan to manufacture complete stoves incorporating the new surface burner But it either will produce the burner unit make it available to stove manufacturers-Mary Roche in (The New York Times)

 This was short-sighted in the extreme because Ripple Rock constitutes just as serious menace to shipping in peacetme as it did during the war. It might easily cause a single wreck which would cost many times much the necessary blasting opera tionS
 Every ship going to or from Alaska by the in- side passage must skirt the maelstrom which Ripple Rock creates and many hours wasted on nearly every voyage waiting for the right tide conditions, as the reef is covered by only 10 feet of water low tide.
 Furthermore, in the interest of continental Secur- ity is highly desirable that the hazard be removed in peacetime-as it might be too late if we wait until America is actually under attack. As long Ripple Rock remains in the narrows capital ship of the navy the inside passage This might have jeopardized all of Western Canada as we'll as Alaska and the Pacific Northwest states had the Japanese invasion of the Aeutans been pressed with greater determination in the last war.

The Pacific Northwest Trade Association is to be commended for the stand it took these matters Its Canadian members, however, must not be con- tent with the mere adoption of the two resolutions They should devote their personal energies the sm ulation of public interest in both projects until they have brought the dominion government around to their point of view. ft' The Canadian members showed the right kind of enlightened international cooperation when they voted to participate in the Parade of Progress Exposition to be held in Seattle in June in conjunction with the International Maritime Conference With the same type of cooperation on both sides of the border, the Ripple Rock and Alaska Highway projects can be pressed to successful conclusion. ..., Seattle Post Intelligencer May T. l946) ~

The notion that a nation may be governed, not by a ruler but by the people themselves, was not raw new in MT. Curtis time. Our own republic was hardly half as old as now when he began writ ing for "Harpar's Monthly" Otherwise he had all the examples we have. One big difference Tn his generation and ours is this:

the end Of the string. This saves
steps as well as time. Too often cows
are not stimulated properly for milk
let-down, or the machine is left on
each COW too long. The latter may be
due to long distances in carrying
milk to the milk house, one man try
ing to operate too many machines,
end the mixer not knowing his cows.
The majority Of cows can be MIXED
irom 3 to minutes with good results
if the milking procedure is managed
properly.
If the dairyman knew low many
miles he walked each day to feed the
dairy herd, many would be astounded
According to some studies By New
York State College Of Agriculture, d
farmer and his son were walking six
miles per day in the winter season to
care for twenty cows On another
farm, t took only , miles per day to
do the same job. The difference of /
miles per day during the seven
months the COWS were kept in the
barn adds up to 800 extra miles of
walking per year. Carrying silage and
the grain mixture to cows in bas-
ket will soon account for that extra
miles a day as well as making a
tircd, aching back When feed carts,
holding enough silage or grain for
the entire herd, replace the bushel
basket, the amount Of travel from the
silo and feed bin is greatly reduced.
This also takes the drudgery out Of
the feeding chores. If grain and pro-
TEN concentrates are fed separately,
time can be saved in combining this
chore by mixing the grain ration when
grinding the feeds. Hay chutes at the
proper place will save labor when
when feeding hay.
Cleaning the dairy barn is hard
work. a time consumer, and drudg-
cry, but it is a job that must be done.
The ideal is to have the cows in two
rows facing out and drive through the
barn with the manure spreader load

the same time. This requires a mini

this practice Manure carriers can be
used with considerable saving in la
bor. If it is necessary to use wheel
barrow. 4 ramp should be constructed
so that the manure could be dumped
directly into the spreader or storage
pit.
Ii is important that the right tools
of the proper size be available for
cleaning and feeding. They should be
kept at some convenient place close
to where they are used. For example,
a 24-inch broom can be used just as
easily as 12-inch broom when
sweeping feed alleys with much less
time needed for the job. An additional
fork or shovel located at the opposite
end Of the barn may save many steps
and time. \ metal scraper is often 4

ding should be stored in a convenient
place.
If chore time could be cut so min
utes per day, in one year this would
equal / IL forty-hour weeks. If 100
feet of distance could be cut off Of
the chore route, 40 miles Of walking
per year would be eliminated. A
little cement work, changing parti-
ton in the barn, purchasing d feed
cart or other tools, or changing the
hay chute or location Of Il barn door
may bring about this amount Of say
ing in time and labor as well as max
ing the dairy job more enjoyable.
Think what this could amount to dur
ing the active years Of a dairyman.
Such savings will mean more profits,
and the added conveniences may be
the difference in hiring and keeping
the right kind Of help, or pleasure in

FARMERS MAY Use
ACT FACILITIES
Possibility Ripe That Coun-
ty Produce Be Shipped
North By Air

A possibility exists that, before
long, local farmers may send their
produce to market by airplane.
Air Cargo Transport corporation
officials in New York have, been
invited to attend the April 4 meet
ing of the New Hanover Farmers
club at Wrightville clubhouse and
talk over the plan. r. w. Galphin,
County Farm agent, said yester-
day.
Nothing Definite
s'There's nothing really definite
about it yet" Galphin said. But
the farmers are interested in
marketing by plane, and we all
hope some representatives of ACT
will come to the meeting to study
the possibilities"
Galphin said the whole plan will
hinge upon what the farmer can
get out Of it.
'fOf course he said, there's
no doubt that produce picked to-
day and eaten tomorrow is better
than produce picked today and
eaten two days after tomorrow.
May Cost More
But offhand I would guess that
produce shipped by air will be
more expensive than produce snip
ped by train or truck. If the farm
er can find a market willing to
pay a higher price FOR his air
plane produce, the farmer can
stand to pay the extra cost of air
travel"
If the farmer can be assured of
at least modest gain in his in
come from the plan, Galphin ad-
ded, arketing-by-air may well
become the everyday practice OF
tomorrow.
