The Independence Enterprise, published weekly by C. Kimball, notes subscription options and rates. Advertising and circulation details appear in the Friday issue.
A wartime style appeal asks boys and girls in the United States to mail Christmas parcels early to ease the post office rush. The message emphasizes legible addresses, full house numbers, proper postage, and avoiding small envelopes to speed deliveries and save government costs.
Small envelopes are more likely to be overlooked. Mail letters and packages early in the day to avoid end of day overload. Your postmaster and teachers can provide more postal guidance. Do these things to win the gratitude of postal workers and Postmaster General Will Hays. Remember to mail Christmas packages this week.
The season closes as the steamship Nebraska takes the last large apple shipment from the Willamette and Umpqua valleys to England. Willamette yields fell due to cold rains hindering pollination with 7 percent of the crop shipped by the association, and 131 cars handled there. Umpqua produced a normal crop with 111 cars shipped. Eastern buyers praised quality, but small apples remained hard to sell even in good markets.
James J. Richardson resigns as general manager of student activities at Oregon Agricultural College Corvallis to become business manager of the Seattle baseball club. The board of control accepts the resignation and thanks him for his service. He leaves after December 31 1921, with a temporary manager to be appointed until a new one is chosen.
During British Antarctic expeditions more than sixty observations of the aurora australis were recorded. The southern lights resembled the northern displays but peaked around equinoxes when the sun appeared over the equator, making day and night equal at both poles.
The Bureau of Public Roads says over 27,000 surplus motor vehicles, mostly trucks, were allocated to states for road building under the Wadsworth-Kahn act. By October 13, California and Oregon received significant shares while California prune stocks and operations appear misreported. Oregon holds most large prunes still unsold.
The prune market, quiet in weeks past, now shows a promising outlook as buyers from the east move away from hand-to-mouth purchases.
Bovine tuberculosis eradication work is progressing rapidly in Oregon. State and federal crews operate on accredited and circumscribed areas with nearly 100 unaccredited herds across 19 counties. Testing and related activities are set to begin in 1922 under the Department of Agriculture.
Oregon reports 2600 accredited cattle across 7 806 herds totaling 62273 cattle under state and federal supervision. 1350 herds with 18600 cattle sit on waiting lists. Washington exceeds Oregon funding and California far exceeds Oregon. Close cooperation among state and federal inspectors, county farm bureaus, and the college extension service drives progress.
The report notes that laying hens suffer production drops when fed excess protein. It advises avoiding moist mash and ensuring hens receive adequate protein via dry mash. Wet mash is unnecessary in cold weather and may suppress laying, though bright combs can appear. Experimental station notes.
Fragmentary notes discuss wood, crown, and root issues in trees and fruit plants. Mentions wetting plants and foreign splad from which thinne wurnery alock should sported before planting. References MUNGO N and worn Wood in a muddled agricultural fragment.
Farmers attending an OFAIC session in December will receive a fare allowance and a four mile round trip subsidy upon registration. The plan, aimed at supporting farmers, offers half fare rates upon validation and mirrors a broader move to boost participation among MiVaniam participants.
An odd fragment markets items by urging readers to buy, sell, or locate goods. The terse line hints at a classified style ad inviting action and pursuit of wanted merchandise.
