Acreage and production is based on 1919 census data, with such modificat ions as conditions appear to warrant for the year 1921. County assessors re port that acreage returns have been largely considered in making these es timates, also opinion of growera and dealers. Production figures represent the tot al crop rather than the commercial crop. Certain crops are practically all commercial, while others are wholly for home use. Prices used are mostly December 1, 1921, farm prices. The American Can Company has est i mated the cannery pack for Oregon for the year 1921 as indicated in the first column of the following table. C D. Minton, secretary of the Oregon Cannery Association, supplied prices paid, and estimated average quantity raw fruit per case of canned.

That Japanese women and children working in the fields on Sunday could be considered a menace to the Ameri can order of society may seem a far fetched fear. But unless restricted and finally extinguished, this is a con dition that will wipe the American or der off the Pacific coast as completely as the Gotha obliterated the civiliza tion of Rome. The Japanese home as we know it in America is not an institution. It is but an incident It is not an activity large enough to occupy the time and attention of Japanese women. The Japanese women are saved from the drudgery of the home for the drudgery of the field. Theyjare producers in the market, so are their cnuaren irora the time they are able to balance themselves on their feet and move their hands to a purpose. This order ia Oriental and as fixed as the laws of heredity. These Japanese schools are established in order that the Japanese among us may be kept perpetually Japanese. In these schools they learn not only the religion of Ja nan which makes the Mikado the high est object of adoration ; but they also learn that women are of an order in ferior to men. Americans know well that any civilization that degrades women will never rise to the plane oi American civilization nor anywhere near it. The Japanese are an all-exclusive race. Where they live white people cannot live a white man's life. They came here of their own choice in re sponse to the desire to share in easy wealth In America. They seek not the rough spots in order to tame the wil derness, but the well tilled and well tamed places. Whether they choose to stay or to go back to their native land after having become wealthy is not of any particular interest to Americans, for so long as they stay they will be Japanese. As a rule they are law abiding, in dustrious to the point oflphysical ex haustion and thrifty to the extreme. With the increase of the Japanese in America goes the one day reBt in seven; the American home, the Ameri can idea of woman as the equal of man, as the keeper of the home and the conserver of American morality, and with these go the rights of child hood to an age of play. We cannot hate the Japanese as we know them. They are likeable in many ways. But if they cannot be Americanized, can we afford to have them Orientalize us? One or the other of thee conditions will prevail. Port land Telegram. World's Largest Chain Department Store Organization mmm, ii. tagiLisn?

The Dallos Chronicle. Informative figures on the 1921 apple crop have been compiled by the We natchee Valley Traffic Association, showing an average yield for that dis trict of 848 boxes per acre and an av erage producticn cost per box of $1.52. It was said that costs compiled by bankers and others were slightly lower. The association figures can be taken as nearly correct, however, as they were carefully worked out, with every factor included. Part of the association's report is here quoted : "Production eofts which do not vary appreciably according to the yield per acre amounted to $336.75 per acre dur ing 1921. Production costs which vary directly according to the yield per acre amounted to $.5505 per box. Based upon a crop of 15,000 carloads, the av erage yield on the 32,250. acres of ap ples in the Wenatchee North Central District was 348 boxes per acre. Computed on this yield the average coat for the district was $1.5182 per box. "The estimated cost per box at dif ferent rates of yield for 1921 would be as follows: Cost per box on 200 boxes per acre, $2.2234 ; 300 boxes, $1.6740 ; 400 boxes. $1.3923; 500 boxes, $1.2240; 600 boxes, $1.1117; 700 boxes, $1.0315; 800 boxes, $.9714; 900 boxes, $.9247; 1,000 boxes, $.8872. "These costs have been very effec tively substantiated in the whole by actual cost records turned in by grow ers for producing the 1921 crop. In nearly every instance costs thus turned in have been a few cents per box higher than the figures herewith pre sented." Better Fruit. Just because a few well-managed co operative marketing organizations in California have proven immensely sue cessful does not mean that cooperative marketing can be made a success with out the right kind of management, any more than any other business venture can. A cooperative marketing ven ture is a business venture and cannot escape the risks or results of poor bus iness management. Oregon Voter. Normalcy is still giving Washington a wide berth. A dispatch from Seat tle says, "near Goldendale the other day a fruit grower who was singing 'The Star Spangled Banner' as it was written and sung in the dear dead days that were before the war, was given a ride in the hurry-up." The deputy sheriff probably thought he was crazy. New York Fruit Trade Journal. Col. Ilofer's human societv recently in session went on record as opposed to shooting craps.

If so, then let us see to it that we get all that is due us from the quality of the fruits we grow here. Not long after the year 1849 the citizens of California began shouting J RESOURCES the name of their state and reaching ) uni and dUcounta out for everything they could lay hand on to advertise it. Tbey came to Ore gon for fruit which they label with the name of their state and send it to their eastern customers. California traders make contracts with Oregon canneries to label Oregon fruit as California fruit. But California is wise enough to make laws that forbid sending Cal ifornia grown fruit out of the state without a California label on the can, Oregon thought to have such a law. but when the lobbyists got through putting on the finishing touches, the law provided only that the box con taining the cans should bear the word "Oregon." What does a housekeeper in Illinois know about the label on the crate thst carried her can of pears from Portland to Chicago! The California bootters are expert advertisers. They talk California night and day. The name of the state is printed, whispered, shouted, sung, megaphoned, ding-donged and bill boarded everywhere until every infant east of the Rocky mountains knows California, its location and attractions, as t knows its mother's cooky jar. Why not talk Oregon in the same way? Why not at least put the name of Oregon on every can, crate and package cf Oregon goods that leaves the state for conumption? Do we not bave products as good, as attractive and at just as fair prices as those raised in cur more vociferous sister stato to the sou to Portland Telegram. 33. REPORT Of the condition of the MOSIER VALLEY BANK At Mosier, in the State of Oregon close of business, May 5th BUNYAN BECOMES A FOREST RANGER The Paul Bunyan stories have been going for some years in the American Lumberman. DeWitt Harry recently gave them impetus in "The Scout Col umn" of the Oregonian. Hood River's own W. A. Schaffner added to this im petus with one of the best Bunyan stories recently seen. Now comes the United States forestry Service with a Bunyan story with a moral. It follows: Paul BuDyan was a famous logger. As the story goes, he had a camp on the moon and brought his loss to earth with a "skyline." Anyhow, back in 17Ct, Paul did accompany General Brad dock over the Allegheny mountains. He was head swamper then and the for est was so dense that the army made only a mile a day. "Slash 'em and burn 'em," said Paul. "It will be a million years before anyone will need these trees." Nevertheless, we are now paying $50 per leg for dining tables made lrom what little is left of those hardwood forests. But Paul moved on to the pine forests of Michigan. "I will get me an ox team," said he, "And invest my profits in real estate. The timber here will support mammoth cities." So he haul ed logs day and night, the city grew, Paul got lich, and would have lived happily ever after, thus ending the story if the timber had held out. But it didn't, and Paul went flat broke, and hastened away to the yellow pine woods of the South, where he took a contract falling timber. "Cut the stumps hiuh." ouoth Paul. "There is timber enough here to supply the earth forever." iiut soon the camps uegan to close uown and the mills began to disaspear, and when the boss said, Cut 'em low," Paul Bunyan quit and started for the Pacific North went, where there was plenty of timber and no need of being so particular. Iiut he got an eye opener when he crossed the treeless plains. It gave him something to think about. "Great fr-'cott," cried Paul as he elid over the Cascades, "They are burning the forests out here I We bave no wood to waste. So Paul got a job as fire warden, the moral of which is that it is a wise man who knows enough to change bis mind I W. F. Andrews Car Stolen W. F. Andrews Friday reported the season a hrst automobile theft. His garage lock was broken lhursday night, thieves stealing his Oakland car.
