One of the greater opportun- ities in this world is fo be a dog, and it seems as if mankind has ° generally missed this fact, I un- 'derstand that in almost all lan- guages and cultures to be called' a "dog" is considered dubious- ly complimentary. , on every hand I observe' the Common barnyard variety of dog, and he seems to be making out, Take our old Prince, whois riding as "high as they come. % We went on a little trip for ourselves, as we like to do come the milder weather, and we ar- ranged' for little Derrill across the road to come by daily and do the .few chores we couldn't otherwise forget. He was to give my ducks a jorum, and count them every morning, and .also was supposed to feed Prince. Prince has no important oblig- ations at this phase of his life, except to eat, sleep, and worry about the taxes, and this ar- . rangement is sufficient, We never feed him but once a day anyway, this being the recom- mended interval for dogs, and as he is a farm dog and adaptable it doesn't matter if he's in or out: We leave that to him, when we're around -- if he wants to "come in we let him in, and if we think he wants to stay out, we accommodate ourselves accord- ingly. So we patted him on the fron- tal lobe; told him to keep out of the zinnias, and went away. The next day Derrill came. as arranged, mixed up a big bowl .0of sustenance, provender, and nourishment; and set it under -- the bridal wreath for Prince. Derrill didn't see Prince around -- anywhere, but this doesn't nec- essarily 'mean anything, so he fed the ducks, too, and went home. fill : The next day he came again, and observed that the bowl of food he had left was intact, that the zinnias 'were erect, and that. . Prince was still absent. He gave the bowl of dogfood to the ducks, who will eat anything, and mix ed up a fresh one, so if Prince returned he wouldn't have a sour supper, and then after a - couple of such maneuvers Der- Till shrugged his shoulders and figured he wouldn't worry any - more about Prince until there was a Prince to worry dbout. Meantime, Prince had worked the old pity-me-the-poor-dog "racket by appearing at the Smiths', up the road a half mile, with a forlorn mien and hang- dog look, appearing to be greatly worried about conditions in gen- eral, and indicating that every- body was picking on him. The. Smiths, of course, knowing that ~ were away, leaped to the ignoble conclusion that we had neglected our animal, and had shoved oft for our own petty pleasures to --let- the -unfortunate -brute shift -- for himself in a cruel and heart- less world. - Prince, wiser than anybody, madé no effort fo deny this impression, and -did every- thing he could to further it. 'They fed him, "TT Prince, mow--complete master of the situation, reciprocated for this bounty by laying. his gray old muzzle on- knees, whimper- -- ing a mite=to-express-his grati-- tude, and giving the impression that if it hadn't been for the Smiths he wouldn't have known what to do at all. He curled up on a rubber-mat in their breeze- way, leaving one eye open so they could see that he was alert --and-attentive, and contrived to look uncomfortable. The Sniiths™ thus fetched an old blanket and -spread it in a -more fortuitous spot; and by consider lé¥ per- suasion were able to"get Prince so he Seemed moré@ comfortably disposed. 'He had it made. At this point Derrill, disturb- at the interruption in-his agree- ment, telephoned the Smiths; as he did all the other houses along the road, and asked if they had seen Prince. The Smiths replied that they had indeed seen him --their tone of voice indicating that this chance to solace an ag- grieved hound did them a world of good. They told Dérrill he could forget about Prince, that the dog was being well cared for, Derrill shrugged his shoul=" ders and forgot about Prince. The next night Prince slept in the kitchen, the next in the front + hall, and the next hs went up to the bedroom. «And on' Sunday afternoon he rode out with them, seat of their automobile, for a little lunch in the back country, beside a- babbling brook in the cool shade of a bosky dell. ~ This is something we never do with Prince. The real reason is simple enough. Prince, whose family background runs to col- lie, shepherd and presumption, has some kind of mismatched notion that he is chiefly a water spaniel. = So, Prince bounded forth from 'the Smith vehicle, exuberant at the prospects of a picnic, and 'while they deployed the sandwiches he went swim- ming. He chased a few frogs, and dove for some roeks--in-the- "pool, and rolled in the mud, and had a magnificent frolic, after "which he returned to the vehicle - and acted as-if 'he wanted a ride home again. Some sort of intellectual per- ception, I believe, penetrated the kindly noggins of the Smiths at this point. I think they caught on. They managed to get Prince onto the floor of the back seat, wrapped in wax paper and old grain bags they found, and they took turns holding him down while the other drove. They-tied "~him close to a tree on the. {front - lawn, rubbed him with an evil soap, squirted him briskly with the hose,'and reduced him again to a sweet-smelling object. Then they tied the string high eneugh s0 he couldn't lie down until he 'dried, and went to bed. They fed him daily until we got home, and they were glad to see us. Prince was 'glad to see us, too. ~ He acted" as if the "Smiths had been mean to him, and he was happy to find, once again, some- The more dogs I see in action, the more I think they've got a they're about.--by John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor.

Last year . of course, only in its beginning . there six shakers in operation. were This year there are about 30 in alt -- some hydraulic and others elec- tric: Yet the farmers using the shakers already are making them a part of their economic plan- ning. Testing and experiment go "on, but the dreaming is over. The mechanical cherry picker is - here to stay. LJ LJ How much does the shaker save? James Fredrickson puts it this way: "Last week," he said, "I kept figures on our costs. We are also working migrant labor- ers as pickers and we were pay- ing them about 60 cents a lug. But with our shaker it was cost- ing us about 15 or 20 cefts a: lug. Now when you add another 10 cents for amortization on our machines well, the picking cost comes mechanical- - to' about 30 cents a lug, That's about half." Estimates given by the Univer- sity Agriculture Extension Sery- fee and United States Depart- ment of Agriculture people put _ the mechanical-picker saving at one-third. Whatever the final fig- ure proves to be, the saving is considerable -- a means more profits saving that for the far- mer and, in time, lower prices for the consumer, * * * Ordinarily - the Fredricksdhs use about 125 migrant workers for their cherry crop. This year they have 80 migrant. workers and the one machine. For operat- ing the mecanical picker, local employees aré ised. But only five to seven men are needed to keep the picker moving. The fruit farmer feels that his picker is coming just -moment. He gees the at the right, labor prob- lems among the fruit workers on the West Coast and finds in this picker his solution for union- Ization, As one fruit \ expert said here: "In a state were labor {is Just as rapidly the same as strong as it is in Michigan, the unions will be coming soon," Said James Fredrickson on this same subject: "With mechaniza- tion we will, be able to pay the union salaries for the fewer peo- ple we will be employing." * * LJ] But what of the migrant labor- er?

However, the farmers say that Increased 'industrialization In the South.and Southwest has been making it Increasingly dif- cult to get 'migrant 'workers, writes Godfrey Sperling Jr. in thg Christian Science Monitor. The mechanical picker has been a speclal boon to the Fred. ricksons. A portion of their trees have grown very high, because of particularly fertile soil, Mi- grant workers have been slow to mount the 20-foot ladders needed for-these trees. And the job on these trees often came to $1 a lug, which lett little or no profit, This need for a solution for their high-tree problem led the Fredricksons to become the first _ Michigan farmers to use the shaker. * Ll . Each day sees one or more Michigan fruit farmer paying a ricksons' shaker in operation. "They're waiting until I perfect my machine -- get all the buts out' -- before they buy one," the senlor Mr, Fredrickson laughs. The picker could lead to the cultivation of bigger trees with bigger pay loads. It also has its own problems, Moving the con- traption from trea to tree calls for land that isn't too bumpy or hilly. Also, 'the Fredricksons .were - leaving about 10 per cent of the cherries on, the trees when the picker first went to work. Now, -with the cherrie riper, the "left behinds" come to about 3 per cent. Hand pickers leave about 4% per cent on the trees or on the ground, the Fredricksons say. Hand picking is cleaner, too, bringing the .Fredricksons' crop test down about 1 per cent .-- for each load. This means they -get a little less' for thelr cher- ries. But the brulsing by the shaker has not proved excessive.
