Dr. Editor Review: In Thurmiiiy'H Review I notice that Mr. Fouler Hutner nun tin article claltniiiK t tin t I am to apeak before tho Hood Itlver growerH upon the Hiihjeet of broccoli growing. The Keiuleinnn Ih entirely mistaken, for the meeting Ih the annual one of the statu horticultural uoceity, and I would udviHe Air. Ilutner and every other person Interested In the various P ha boh of horticulture to be present. Hood Itlver only happens to be the meeting place for this year. If Mr. Itutner was conversant with tho broccoli Industry ho would know that tho Southern PaclHc Railroad Company has had a speaker travel ing throughout western On-Kon boosting the culture of broccoli be caUKo t he railroad wants the to li nage, and It Is to correct some of the misinformation sent broadcast that I am spending my own money to speak before t ho a t e hort icu 1 1 u ra I society- not heroin Ihe Hood It Ivor growers. Mr. Itutner Is probably not aware that, tho broccoli Industry had Its In ception lu (tie Douglas County Po mona Orange, and that the members of that organization dipped Into their pockets to llnaiice two fainierH1 in stitutes ho as to develop enough en thusiasm ho that It wiih possible to market nine car lots the first year and keep the Industry from dying in infancy, The t! range members also renli.e that there are other cropM that Doug las County Is peculiarly adapted to grow, and that the only reason we do not grow them is because we have no one to develop and lead the grow ers in producing them. The tirange sees the necessity for the employ -men! of a county farm demonstrator, but until such time as more of the growers see the necessity we can not expect Ihe County Court to Include such an appropriation in the annual budget. IT my memory serves me right, I have never seen Mr. Itutner at any of the meetings of the I'd mona ('.range where these subjects so vital to the Interests of the farmer ind producer are discussed. Mr. Itutner also says Unit we need a cannery. In this he is correct. Hut if lie and the other growers were a unit In seeing the need, or rather were willing to get together, put their shoulders to the wheel, we could have a plant that would rtwil the growers' plant at Kugene. Instead of comparing the publicity glen the broeroll business to peach growers of Ceorgia. why does be not compare It to the growing of Oregon Italian prunes? Have those yet been oerdonc? reaches can he grown In nearly every state In the Tnlon. , while we know that broccoli will not thrive under adverse conditions. It wan to meet com pet II Ion that we; know is bound to come that the i I'mp'imi Valley l-'ruit I'nlon, or j wbit h 1 have the honor of ser ing as j president, at a meeting composed ot j nearly the entire membership, passed j a resolution appropriating one cent lor advertising purposes, li in as (bench Die organized t tanners ;md fruit growers of Douglas uni were uuing evervt nng nos- u-iion , " i in. 1 1 -ii-i ing oi uus vei;riiioie upon a high plane.

The coming of the legislative dele gallon from Southern Oregon to the the members of tho delegation, but also to every citien who was privileged to greet tho visitors, says the Grants I'ass Courier. The hoIoiis met in fonnully at the Commercial Clul rooms upon their arrival, and celved a number of delegations and individuals who wished u hearing up on proposed legislative enactment Later Hie delegation met in executive KcsHoln, and matters pertaining to tho organization of tho Legislature were discussed till late in the evening. At 6:30 the visitors were the guests of the Commercial Club at dinner served in the club rooms The dinner hour was enlivened by a number of musical nelections. K. S, Van Dyke and Mrs. Harmon and Miss Florence Smith delighted the diners with their songs, whilo the high school orchestra gave several excel lent numbers. During the hour Phil Hates, of Portland, and Dean Cordley, director or the slate experiment station at Corvallls, made addresses, expressing to tho legislators and club members llioir wishes along matters of legis lation. Mr. Hates is interested in necking a ("gislative appropriation oi $2:1,0(111 per year for two yearw tor Ihe exploitation of Oregon Hconic re sources and the turning or tourist travel through tho stale. He ex plained the value of the tourist trnde lo the various communities of the state, and said that the expenditure or a moderate fund would bo re lumed many fold. Following Mr. Hates, D"an Ccrdlcj told of t lie work done by the experi ment station, noting some investiga tions lhat had been worlh more to Ongon than alt Hie college iiad ever cost. He said that the station was iot asking for new appropriations from Ihe slate at the coming session, hut sought only the reinstatement of certain continuing appropriations that had been iiiiidverteutly repealed at Ihe last session. At the meeting r the Commercial Clul), which fol lowed Ihe dinner, each of the six legislators present made addresses, and each bespoke valuable work for Southern Oregon in the 1!II7 Legis lature through the co-operation ol the entire delegation. The legislators present were W. II. Core, joint rep resentative from Douglas and Jack son counties; Chas. A. llrand, repre sentative from Douglas County; C. M. Thomas and Hen Sheldon, repre sentatives from Jackson County, and Senator Sin it b ami llepreseulalive Sweeney, from Josephine County.

It is owned by the Denver Post, and the following from Denver will be interesting. Although people here believed the circus was coining money, it would appear, be cause of the sale, that such was not the case, or the owners would have held onto the show. The Denver story runs: . . F. O. nontlls and IL II. Tamiueu, mortgagees under a chattel given to them two 'years ago by the Hells Floto Shows Company, owner of the Sells-Floto circus, several months ago took possession of all of the cir cus property, including railroad cars, wagons, horses .harness, tents, poles, seats, animals, and all parapher nalia, and brought them to Denver. The mortgagees have advertised a foreclosure sale, to take place in Denver, Friday, beginning at the winter quarters at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, when the sale will be ad journed to Overland park, immedi ately following the selling of the properly at the winter quarters. This is made necessary because the horses, railroad cars and some of the other property are kept at Overland park. Among 'lie animals to be sold is tho celebrated herd of elephants, trained lions, tigers, leopards, hyenas and hippopotamus. The horses to be sold number some of the finest circus animals in the country and it is ex pected that circus men from all over the I nl ted Slates will attend the sale. HFn KM'ID TO KOSFHI IU;.
