16 TIIE 3IOIIXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, APRIL 2G, 1920 FORCED 'CUKES' i CELERY COIN CROPS Likewise, Early Rhubarb and Asparagus Pay. VALLEY GARDENS VISITED Marvels of Cleanliness and Effi ciency Xoted in Greenhouses AVlierc Growers Get Results. BY INKZ GAGE CHAPEL. Having heard of some wonderful yields of cucumbers and rhubarb which were being forced for the early- market not far from Portland, we de termined to go and see for ourselves, as It seemed to js a very important Industry. Oregon has always imported far too many things from California, which could as well even better be grown here. This is the natural home of cauliflower and kindred crops, the Puget sound and Willamette valley country being the only place in the United States where the seed of these vegetables can be raised to equal er surpass the seed raised in Europe. Tet many of our gardeners do not raise cauliflower, and other less well known "Kohl crops," because of a belief formed in the east that . they are hard to grow. , This is also true of celery. A can nery man who manages several hun dred acres of land near here told me that from $130,000 to $200,000 was paid out here in Portland every year by our people for celery grown and shipped to us from California, while we have right here a "typical celery climate." Anybody Can Raise Celery. "Everybody can raise celery here; the climate is ideal for it," he said. "We should surely raise all our own celery and if any shipping is done it should be by us, and not to us." He said that $2900 worth of celery had been raised on- an acre here, he had "seen it done," and that $8000 worth could be raised from an acre if all conditions of soil, moisture, etc., were right. These facts also apply td early out of season rhubarb and cucumbers. We have been in the habit of ex pecting these to be imported from California for our use long before it is possible for them to be raised out of doors by our gardeners here, and thousands of dollars have gone from Oregon to California for th's purpose. But it is not necessary that this continue. Some enterprising market gardeners have demonstrated that it pays well to force these crops at home. The initial cost of a green house or forcing house spreads over many years, and the labor involved comes at a time when it is not pos sible to do much in the outdoor gar den, so that besides the market gar deners who find it profitable to de vote all their time to raising these forced vegetables, it will also pay the amateur gardener well to do so on a small scale, modifying his plans to suit his facilities. For instance, the heat from the house furnace can be easily arranged to heat the forcing house. The gardener that we visited planted his . cucumbers early in November and began shipping this year on February I. Last year he continued shipping his greenhouse cucumbers until about the first ot July, but his brother shipped from his greenhouses until the first of Sep tember. Plant Interesting: Slsat. It was surely interesting to walk oown the aisles of this greenhouse and see the vines trained to run up to the very top, bearing the most appetizing looking "cukes" in pro fusion. One fine straight cuke we noticed was 13 i inches long, and they all were exceptionally straight and well formed, hence the most marketable kind.' I understand that the grower gets about 25 cents each for these cucum bers and they retail at about 40 cents each on the market. Mr. Scheurer told me he was shipping about 40 dozen a week to Portland. From here we drove about two miles over a good dirt road to the greenhouses of John Scheurer, brother of Fred Scheurer. He lives near Fargo, a small station on the Oregon Electric railroad. Mr. Scheuer is associated with his father-in-law, Mr. Stonehouse, in operating twu greenhouses devoted, like his brother's, to growing cucumbers ex 8luslvely. From 200 to 300 dozen per month are shipped by them to a Port land commission house. It certainly is a most interesting and inspiring sight, the fine thrifty vines in these houses. Bees Pollrnlse "Cakes." In each of all these greenhouses were two stands of bees, set at di agonally opposite corners. These were absolutely necessary to pollen isse the cucumbers, and besides that they were industriously storing up honey as a by-product. They were the tamest bees I ever saw; we walked right around, and by them, ar,d they didn't mind in the least. Next we visited the place of A. L. Vanders;rif f, near Canby. Mr. Van dergriff has a dark house, where he forces rhubarb for the early market. The building Is covered with black building paper and when the doors are shut it is totally dark in side. We tasted stalks in the house and found them more tart than that grown tinder sunlight, and Mr. Vandergriff .said that they always were, and that he found the high price of sugar at present a factor in the market for early rhubarb. 1 From the exceedingly rich soil of the low beds the rhubarb grows very crisp and tall and finely blanched. He had just made his last cutting for shipment the day we were there, bo we saw only what was left in the forcing house after the marketable stalks were cut. He had been ship ping forced rhubarb for about two months, and told me he had shipped over two tons of it, all to Portland, from the one forcing house. Besides the rhubarb he grows in his forcing house in winter, Mr. Vander griff has a splendid stand of outdoor rhubarb in the acreage surrounding his house. There are seven acres in all ect to rhubarb; two acres are one year old and these plants are up and grow ing luxuriantly. They began cut ting this outdoor rhubarb about Easter time,. Aaparasrua Money Crop. Mr. "Vandergriff also has 4 acres In asparagus, which was not yet up when we were there, but it is now time for It. as they expected to begin cutting it for the Portland market by April 10, after which we will probably buy it from our market. It must be a eight worth going to see when the whole 4V4 acres are in full bearing. Later in the seaion Mr. Vander- griffs whole 20 acres are Irrigated from the Molalla river, which flows by. one side of his place, and chan - nels for this irrigation show between his rows. These 'channels serve to secure good drainage at present and to give raised beds for the sun to shine on both sides of the rows, warming the. ground and forcing.-an early growth, which is also secured by his warm, soft, sandy loam soil, well enriched and pulverized. LATE SPRIXG FAVORS FRUIT Prospects at Prosser Are Reported as Exceptional. PROSSER, Wash., April 25. (Spe cial.) The spring crops, although somewhat later than usual, are com ing on with a rush. It will not be long before the first cutting of alfalfa will be started and the strawberry patches soon will begin to produce those berries that last year brought $6 a crate. Cherry, prune, plum, apri cot and many of the apple trees are in fullr bloom, and crop prospects are exceptional. The late spring has been a favor able sign was as far as fruit crops are concerned and there is every indica tion that the apple crop will be even as heavy as it was last year. Sev eral Prosser farmers already have shipped several crates of asparagus to near-by markets. Government Has Water in Storage. TAKIMA. Wash., April 25. (Spe- OREGON CHERRY ORCHARDS RANK FOURTH IN PRODUCTION . ' ' 1 Group of cial.) Considerable increase in the amount of storage water to be sold by the government to private canal com panies in this valley Is indicated by negotiations now in progress, it was stilted today at the reclamation head quarters. PACKING PLANT PLANNED WALLA WALLA ORCHARD TO JIAKJE BIG IMPROVEMENT. Three Hundred Thousand Boxes of Apples Will Be Handled From Baker & Langdon Orchard. WALLA WALLA, Wiush., April 25. (Special.) A large cold storage and packing plant Is to be constructed In the Baker-Langdon orchard this sum mer. It Is planned to complete it in time to handle this year's crop of ap ples, estimated at 300,000 boxes. The nackinr plant will be built along the Walla Walla valley railway tracks and from if apples will be shipped to all parts of the country. This will be the first improvement made by the recent purchasers of the orchard, the Stanton Investment com pany of Steubenville, Ohio. The com pany paid $1,050,000 for the orchard. approximately 600 acres, but the gross returns for the apples this year will about pay half the purchase price and possibly more than half, it is esti mated. v Orchardists declare that the $1750 an acre Paid for this remarkable orchard Is a very reasonable price, yet 11 , years ago John W. Langdon was laughed at when he announced that he and W. W. Baker had pur chased a 600-aere tract of wheat land, almost adjacent to Walla Walla, and were going to plant a model apple orchard. Old-timers made it their business to impress on Mr. Langdon and Mr. Baker that their action was very foolish and that they were going to ruin wheat land that could be de pended upon to raise BO to 60 bushels of wheat every other year. The soil is a rich mountain loam. Mr. Langdon laid out the lines of trees so perfectly that the rows, a mile and a half long, are not out of alignment one inch, measured in seven different directions. In fact, Mr. Lang don declares, a rifle bullet fired along the top of the rows of trees would have clipped every tree in the row. It was not long before the fame of the orchard began to spread and even the "wiseacres" who had scoffed at the idea had to admit that Mr. Lang don knew what he was talking about. The crop this year is estimated at 300,000 boxes of the finest commercial varieties. Within five years it is ex pected that the crop will be 750,000 boxes, or 1000 carloads. The purchasers, the Stanton Invest ment company, are 23 capitalists and manufacturers of Steubenville, Ohio. Mr. Langdon went east to meet tbese men and In October all of them came here to Inspect the orchard. . Incidentally, the magnificent Colum bia highway out of Portland had con siderable to do with the decision of the Ohio men to invest in the north west. When the party came to Walla Walla last fall Mr. Langdon took them over this valley and then accom panied them to Portland, arranging for a trip over the highway. The visi tors declared the northwest scenery the grandest they had ever seen and the highway to be a wonderful asset to the country. They had been spend ing their winters in California, but after seeing the northwest and learn ing that the climate here in the win ter Is very mild, they declared that California hereafter would hold, out no Inducements to them. Salem Women Help Hospital. SALEM, Or., April 25. (Special.) Members of the Salem Woman's club, at a meeting yesterday, donated their services for one week to assist in rais ing funds for the construction of the proposed Salem hospital.

BEES ARE GREAT HELP Experiments Prove Value of Using Hives In Orchards Besides Varieties of Fruit. GARDEN HOME, Or., April 25. (Spevial.)- Cross-pollination has tieen discovered to be the secret of abun dant cherry production, according to results of recent experiments which have been carried out along this line. Some varieties of cherries are much Several Hundred Cherry Trees in Bloom greater pollinizers than others and ! areas to keep cattle off such land it has been discovered that if trees j or the digging up of the plant, root of the high poilinizing variety are I and all, are the two preventives sug planted among the regular cherry . Rested. The tall larkspur, the largest trees of the orchard the production in western Oregon, is usually found on all trees will be considerably in- along lower valley and mountain creasea. js ine cuerry rantts luurui in importance among the orchard products of Oregon' the discovery is consdered an important victory by the scientific orchardists of the state looking toward greater food produc tion. After exiensive experiments , the horticulture department of Oregon Agricultural college recommends three I varieties as the most efficient polli nizers for these three sweet cherries that are planted so generally.' They are Black Republicans, Black Tar tarian and Waterhouse. The latter is a particularly good cherry for home use and marketing. There is a long list of other good pollinizers but they are not as certain as these three. There should be at least one poili nizing tree for each six or eight of the main variety, it is now under stood, and most important of all there must be bees to carry the pollen. Bees are not particularly profitable to the beekeeper in western Oregon for their normal yield of 25 pounds is not re markable, but to the fruit grower they are a necessity.. A striking instance of this was shown In an experiment in 1913 in the orchard of a grower at The Dalles. The year previous (1912) a poor set of fruit had resulted In a short crop of 13 tons. In 1913 a total of 39.5 tons were harvested from the same trees though weather conditions dur ing the blooming season were no more favorable. The tripling of the crop was not en tirely .due to better cross-pollination for the trees being a year older would have produced a few more tons of fruit, no doubt. A few hives of bees were distributed through the orchard and while the trees were in blossom great branches were cut from 'seed ling pollenizer - trees and placed throughout the orchard upright in buckets of water. The bees and ot,her insects visited, both cut branches and trees. If you have a few fine cherry trees in your dooryard and they are not bearing as they ehould because there is no poilinizing treje nearby one tree may be grafted over with Waterhouse or another good pollinizer, it is de clared. In the meantime such tem porary measures as putting branches of a pollinizer in 'water beneath the tree may be used until a young tree or a grafted tree blossoms. The beauty of the rollage and the fact that a cherry tree will grow so well and produce perfect fruit with little care make it a popular tree. Unfortunately its needs are not under stood by many who see it flourishing in dooryards with sod around its roots undisturbed for years. It thrives here because it gets water when the lawn is sprinkled. If it is not watered the soil should be cultivated to keep the moisture around Its roots from evap orating or being absorbed by weeds. The fruit specialists who carry on the extension work at Corvallis ad vise pruning and training a cherry tree like any other tree. If this is not done the sweet cherry will have a tendency to grow straight up and the top will become so high it will be come useless. The tree must be made to spread so that all the cherries may be picked. Bacterial gummosis or canker may be recognized by gum exuding from the bark. There are a number of causes for this disease, but pruning is not one of them. Cutting away is in fact the cure. Blighted branches should be removed and all dead bark, as soon as it is detected, must be cut out and burned. Disinfect the wound with dilute lime sulphur, bordeaux, ly sol or corrosive sublimate, at strength 1-1000. After the wound is dried out, paint with pruning paint, melted as- phaltum. E grade raw linseed paint without turpentine or other injurious substances in it. This disease usually affects young trees that have not be gun to bear yet. Another attention that trees of this age often need Is stems of the tall purple-flowered larkspur, have been reported this year to the Oregon experiment station at Corvallis. This larkspur is said to be harmless to sheep. The fencing in of larkspur-infested slitting the bark for they sometimes grow so fast they. become hide-bound. FARMERS RUSH! TO BUY SILOS Silage Declared Cheaper Than Ha; at $30 a Ton. . LA GRANDE, Or., April 25. (Spe cial.) The recent buying of hay at $30 a ton to take care of stock after the animals had been turned out on the ranges, and duo to the . heavy snows were driven back to winter quarters, has made Union county farmers and stockmen decide that it wijl be cheaper to raise sunflowers for silage, and as a result there is a rush on for silos. One. firm alone in this city has sold about 100 silos to farmers of Wallowa county, and within the last few weeks has disposed of 20 silos among Union county farmers. The majority of these food mixers were sold in the vicinity of Cove.

Growers in Willamette Valley Have Similar Conditions With Re gard to Soil and Climate. Farmers of southwestern Washing ton are making more than $1000 a year per acre, gross, on small tracts or strawberries, raspberries and other similar crops, according to an inves tigation recently conducted by the Raymond Herald of Raymond, Wash. An account of the berry situation in that region is contained in an article in a recent issue of the Herald. quoting letters from a number of the farmers who give their production figures In dollars and cents. The berry industry has come to stay, says the article, and climatic and soil conditions in and around Raymond are declared to be excellent for berry growing. Extracts from the article, giving particularly the figures submitted by berry growers, are of Interest to Willamette valley residents, as conditions here are simi lar in many respects, if not more favorable to berries, than in the southwestern Washington belt. Says J. H. Miller in a letter to the Herald: "In order that the people of the Willapa valley may know what, the land will produce in the way of ber ries, I would like to have you tell them through the columns of your paper that 1 have raised strawberries, the gross returns of which were $435 per acre, figured at 5 cents per pound; This ,was several years ago when everything was low. At the present price, 12 cents, my return will be $1044 per acre." W. E. Rockey of South Fork writes that he has realized more than $1000 per acre on strawberries at 12 cents per pound. , " Elwood D. Mitzinger of Willapa writes the Herald that his gross re turn per acre on strawberries during tne last reason was tiiZD. Keep If you own an orchard you must have bees if you would secure the larg-est crops of the most perfect fruits, as proper pollenation is essential for best development and bees are the only dependable pollenizing agents. You can keep bees anywhere that they can forage within a mile they require but little attention and will often render you a splendid profit.

AD CLUB BACK OF MOVE Committee Appointed to Obtain Window. Display Space From Merchants for Exhibits. The week of June 20 to 28. in addi tion to being Rose Festival week in Portland and national Shrine week, also will be home industries week, if plans being drawn up by the Ad club and the Associated Industr'es of Ore gon materialize. Nothing elaborate in the way of a programme along his line Is contemplated, as the week al ready is filled to overflowing with the regular festivities of the Shrine and the Rose Festival organizations. However, local merchants will be asked to make extensixe displays of Oregon-made goods and local manu facturers will take part In the va rious events of an industrial nature. all for the purpose ot bringing to the knowledge of the thousands of vis itors here at that time the extent and quality of Oregon's manufactures. The visiting Shrtners from all parts of the country will be glad to obtain a knowledge of the resources and in dustries of this state, it is believed, and this can be given readily by dis plays in the Btore windows showing Oregon products. Many of the vis itors will be coming to Oregon for the first time and will be anxious to obtain some knowledge along these pines in the short time that they are here. It also is believed that many of the Shrine members from afar will seek to purchase Oregon products to take back with them as souvenirs of the convention, and their desires along this line can be met easily by having displays of such Oregon products in the windows. To carry out such a programme the Ad club has named a committee to visit local merchants and to obtain from them, if possible, assurances that they will devote at least 30 per cent of their window display space during the week to Oregon goods. The com mittee is as follows: George L. Rauch, chairman; JVillard Cook, Jared Wenger, E. G. Larsen, Jay S. Groo, J. B. Bridgeford. J. J. Lane. V. E. Krause. Hugh C. Gruwell. Tom Luke, E. R.

In connection with national marine week, the observance of which is de signed to boost the American mer chant marine, the public library has recently installed an exhibit show'ng fortland s facilities as a nort. The display, which Is at a prominent placet on the main stairway, already has attracted much attention and com ment. Photographs and maps showing tlie municipal terminal at St. Johns, the East Washington-street terminal, the Fifteenth-street dock and the Pitts burg .terminal are on display, and a large map of the proposed develop ment of the harbor. Mocks bottom and Guilds lake along the lines proposed by the committee of 15 occupies a prominent position. Two displays of manufactured prod ucts turned out by Oregon concerns also are shown. The Western Waxed Paper company lias a comprehensive, display of its waxed paper products. The company does a large business along this line, particularly in the manufacture of waxed paper to be used in wrapping loaves of bread. The Oregon Marine 4i Fisheries Supply company also has an exhibit. Its dis play being along marine lines, show ing anchors, chains and such other marine and fishery equipment which the company handles. - Cash prizes totaling $50 are to be given to the winners of the boys' clothing contest being carried on by the Brownsville Woolen mills store in Portland, It has been announced by the officials In charge. The contest, which is open to all boys from six to 18 years, is for for a name for the Brownsville Woolen mills' line of boys' clothing. The present name now used is "Oregon Buckskin," and any name submitted to be given a prize must be considered more suitable than this. Boys who desire to submit names in thevcontest are Invited to visit the factory, where they may inspect the suits and get an understanding of the manufacturing process. Contest blanks may be had at the boys' de partment of the store at Third and Morrison streets. Fred Harris, representative of the Xational Retail Dry Goods association.
