Laing of Va , is testing Columbi Russel potatoes, HORTICULTURAL News Letter The past two weeks have been a continuation of the cool, cloudy, }unsettled, generally wet weather which started during ‘the early part of May. It is hoped, however, that the weather will become set- tled and the warmer temperatures of the past couple of days will continue. BERRIES Strawberries are plentiful and the movement is heavy, and with better weather the quality and fla- vor will be of the usual high qual- ity. Cane fruits are making con- tinued strong growth and many plantings are giving evidence of good yields. Main season varieties of raspberries are beginning to rip- en and some fruit pickings will be made this week. Black cur- rants are sizing rapidly and are beginning to color. TOBACCO AND HOPS Transplanting of the tobacco plants is practically completed, and plantings are in good condi- tion. Hops are making good growth and prospects are promis- ing for a good season. $10,000 More Per Week for Whatcom Co-Op. Poultrymen HUGE PRODUCTION INCREASE DESIRED Co-Op poultrymen in Whatcom County today receiving $10,000 more per week for their eggs than they did a year ago, Harry J. Beer- nink, general manager of the Washington Co-Operative Egg and Poultry Association, told an audi- ence of approximately 200 poultry- men at Laurel, the Lynden Tri- bune reports. If prices continue to remain as far above those of last year as they are at present, the income of the Co-Op producers of this coun- ty during a year’s period will be boosted more than half a million dollars, the speaker said, Huge increases in the production of potitry and dairy products in order to furnish adequate supplies for this country and surpluses to send to Britain, are desired by the government, Mr. Beernink said. He pointed out that on one item alone, that of dried eggs, department of agriculture experts anticipate a need for an annual production of 50,000,000 pounds, which is five times as much as the poultry in- dustry ever has dried in any pre- vious year. DEMAND TO CONTINUE “After the war is over, I believe that foodstuffs from America must flow into the occupied countries to prevent anarchy. I am inclined to belive that the demand for dairy and poultry products will continue to be heavy for years to come. That of course is merely an opin- ion.” Mr. Beernink said that the eggs stored during the first 2% months of this year when the Association packed its products away instead of ‘accepting the prevailing market prices, will prove to be a good in- vestment, CO-OPERATION NEEDED “No one wants to kid himself that in the weeks ahead there will be ‘business as usual’.” Mr. Beer- nink emphasized. “The govern- ment is going to tell us many things that we can and cannot do, It is up to everyone to put his shoulder to the wheel and help all we can.” Mr. Beernink said the association expects to continue its advertising Program to sell people on the con- tinued use of eggs and poultry pro- ducts and he pointed out that des- pite the Benerally accepted belief that the industry was going to have better prices for some time to come, that the board felt that Was no reason to let up on the advertising program. ui LYNDEN AYRSHIRES CROSS PACIFIC; VALLEY HEIFERS TO LYNDEN ‘ To help in Providing more rich millk and cream and butter for the defenders of a strategic British stronghold in the Far East, seven more Lynden district Ayrshire hei- fers left last week for Singapore.
