BETTER FRUIT 



October, 1920 



Yakima. Situated as it is, in the 

 largest fruit district of the whole 

 Northwest, this plant has turned into 

 economic value what would otherwise 

 have gone to waste. Burlington, Wash., 

 has a canning plant that cans certain 

 tree and bush fruits, turning out 400 

 cases per day during the canning sea- 

 son. Bellingham, Seattle, Vancouver 

 and other fruit centers in Washington, 

 have valuable by-products plants of 

 commercial and economic importance. 

 The state of Oregon alone has more 

 than 50 by-products plants, all helping 

 to conserve in some manner for table 

 use some fruit or fruit juices. Who 



has not enjoyed the refreshing, exhil- 

 erating Phez, Applju and other fruit 

 drinks of the Northwest? 



It is this conservation of fruit foods, 

 in canned goods, butters, jellies and 

 jams, evaported or dehydrated prod- 

 ucts, juices, flavors, extracts and 

 gums that make the great Northwest 

 fruit districts an object lesson to us 

 all of efficiency, food conservation 

 and marketing success. 



The packing plant, we are told, loses 

 nothing in the converting of the hog 

 into pork; every part of his anatomy, 

 from his snout to his tail, is put to 

 some economic use — even his dying 



squeal is now caught on the phono- 

 graph record and given anew in 

 rhythmic cadence. 



In the Northwest, the pits of the 

 stone fruits are made to yield up their 

 potash, the pumice is forced to give a 

 stock food or a fertilizer and typical 

 photos of the orchards are made into 

 films by enterprising movie artists, 

 and, in the far East, are ground out 

 at so much "per" to the delight and 

 education of unnumbered thousands. 

 Conservation, utilization and ef- 

 ficiency seems to be the slogan of the 

 fruit farmers and by-product workers 

 of the Pacific Northwest.

CRATE FATTENER 



With Dried Buttermilk 



is probably the most profitable 

 market conditioner manufac- 

 tured. Recently one of the 

 largest wholesale poultry firms 

 in the West, a concern thatships 

 more than 10,000 birds a week, 

 reported the following results 

 of an experiment: 

 92 White Leghornsfed 100 lbs. 

 of Olympic Crate Fattener 

 with Dried Buttermdk. gained 

 40 l /i> lbs. in eight days. 

 A like number fed ISO lbs. of 

 corn, oats, barley and semi-solid 

 buttermilk, gained but 32 f Q 

 lbs. in eight days, or at the 

 rate of only 17 ^ lbs. per 100 

 lbs. of feed. 



Egg Mash—Scratch Feed 



YOU can't fool chickens with sawdust. To obtain 

 profitable egg production you m ust feed more than 

 "filler". The combination of (EE7KE0S Egg Mash and 

 (HEfliiEQS Scratch Feed will bring even a poorly fed 

 flock back into laying in about two weeks. 



Made from carefully selected whole grains, blended in scientific 

 proportions, you'll find no better poultry feed than Olympic Scratch. 

 Every handful registers uniform quality and is entirely free from dust. 



Olympic Egg Mash with Dried Buttermilk is the egg making feed 

 and all around health builder. The Dried Buttermilk it contains 

 compels digestion and assimilation of all feeds. 



The Test Tells 



so ask your feed dealer about: 



OLYMPIC Chick Mash 

 OLYMPIC Hog Feed 

 OLYMPIC Dairy Feed 

 OLYMPIC Calf Meal 

 OLYMPIC Stock Feed 

 OLYMPIC Horse Feed 

 OLYMPIC Pigeon Feed 

 OLYMPIC Alfalfa Molasses Iced 



Mr. W. S. Freeman, a breeder of Single 

 Comb White Leghorns of Hayward. Cali- 

 fornia, writes as follows: 



"During April when my hens fell off 

 about 31',r normal egg production. I tried 

 Olympic Scratch Feed and Olympic Egg 

 Mash with Dried Buttermilk. A test was 

 made by feeding'200 hens on Olympic Ecg 

 Mash dry in hopper and Olympic Scratch 

 buried in litter, as per instructions. 



"In about two weeks the production 

 drop was checked, furthermore a decided 

 improvement was made in the condition 

 of the hens. The feeds were greatly 

 relished by the hens, too. 



"I intend to continue using both the 

 Olympic Egg Mash and and the Olympic 

 Scratch. Yes. sir, I highly recommend 

 both feeds to every one. The splendid 

 results obtained on my flock can be dupli- 

 cated on your flock, too."
