' in the first place they desire the county to assist them in rrtnklng 1m nrovement on tne roaa pn ler and Riddle. This road 'is now passable but the auto stare Is able to make only five miles an hour. requiring an hour ana a J' time to go seven miles. As this nb Arrle nil of the mall and provisions for the Tiller community It Is desired to have Improvements made there as soon as por.slble and the delegation request d the court to Instruct tho proper oincinis m proceed at once. In this same oroieci n - quested that Mr. Neely be nP;!Otinted rssistnnt patrolman to have charge of the roid between Tillef and Per due. The present pntrolmnn has 40 miles of road under his supervision nd It I. believed that an assistant should be appointed. The .court act ed favorably upon this petition nnd It Is quite probable that tliC appoint ment will be made. In reirard to the cut-off road, the Tiller residents desire to start at the Crater Lake end and worT tnwaros Tiller. At the present tlmp there Is an old ro-d for a port-Inn or tne distance. This road Is passable and bv opening up the Inlervering strto whirb 1. a11 ef ear construction, ti-ovel over the cut-o f route will be Ktlh!n. Within a short time th strip of road between Olendalo a'ld Ornnt" Pcss will be closed while the paving is being laid. In the event tne ni ter road I. 0"enet before tbl V place a detour will be provided and travel will be started over tne cui off road. It is thought best to get the route established nnd allow the Improve ments to be mede as rapidly as nos slble but to first open the) road so that the trio to the Isk may be made or a detour provldod In the event the Pass road at the southern boundarv of the countv oa the Pa cific highway is closed. The court promised to give the matters consideration and doubtless an agreement will be reached in a short time so that Immediate con struction work will be started. C. A.

The following article jrmn he Salem paper written by Fostel Butner. one of the successful broc-1 coll growers df this valley, tells of , the growth of his crop in the Rose- burg district: The editor has asked me to write something about methods, markets and profits connected with the broc coli industry of southern Oregon. I have been Interested in and taken quite an active part In the Industry since its beginning in the Umpqua valley some eight years ago and 'eel safe In claiming that I am com mencing to understand a few of the factors which are required in mak ing of this crop a commercial suc cess. Good, well-drained soli Is the first -ssential ln the opinion df most gro rin hut mv oDlnlon Is that good -leedeshouid take precedence over all ror without a proved strain of seed success will be very uncertain. The fimt crone produced here wore from imported seed and for several years I growers were led to believe that j . A ..... wnrthlosl 1 During the war this Imported seed ieclihed so ln quality that numerous; growers were forced to grow their ns-n need and the result has been j Dnm1."! mout 23 broccoli and, not anticipating my re quirements, was compelled to buy seed from several Bources. The crop which is now being harvested shows a wide variation In product rang ing all the way from the worthless trash from some strains to perfect heads from my own select seed and that of one other careful grower. During the summer of i19 we saved quite a patch of our fanciest heads especially for seed and nar vested a liberal crop from t. Prizing L.!0vn.l"'y. .

Experienced growers with best of land and small acreage clear around $2uv in average seasons. In larger crops where home labor cuts but little figure in keeping down ex penses profits are less. Concerning the success of the crop In other sections I have but little Information upon which to base an opinion. Professor A. G. B. Bouquot df the O. A. C. has given the broccoli much attention and stu dy and his opinion should be worth while. But since some small successes have been reported, I see no reason why larger ones are not possible. If you have some good, fertile, .well drained soli and think you would like this broccoli business, my sug gestion is: Oet some good seed and try it out. If it proves a success and your neighbors will Join with you ln producing 30 or 40 acres so you can conveniently load cars, it will he easy to sell for cash at home. My buyer has never been able to get as many cars as he desired. The Koseburir section has adopted the standard pony crate, finding it much better than the old style which was not a standard Dackaae. The nriee on this package this season ri'nnes from n for the low quality to $1.76 for tne best, all f. o. b. Roseburg Before the freeze In December the yield was estimated at 75 cars, but tho present prospect is for less than half that number. Most of the local growers Intend to put in thoir usual acreage this season, hoping that the weather man will be ln a kinder mood next winter. FOSTER BUT.VER.
