The first carload of broccoli to be
shipped from the I'mpqua Valley,
was packed out by theil'mpqna Droc
coli Exchange this afternoon. Sev
eral hundred crates have been sent
out by express, but this is the first
carload shipment to be sent out of
the valley. The car was sold f. o. b.
Roseburg. hut the price to the grow
ers has not yet been computed.
The turn in the weather today was
greatly welcomed by broccoli grow
ers. The warm weather of the past
few days has been bringing the crop
on too fast and a colder tempera
ture will tend to slow it up. Every
day's delay iri reaching the peak of
the market means greater profits to
the grower. California has not yet
completely disposed of her cauli
flower crop, and that cron, jrown
largely by Japanese gardeners, can
be marketed below the broccoli crop
of this valley. Many dealers, how
ever, are turning to the I'mpqua
Valley for broccoli, as they do- not
desire to buy of the Japanese grow
ers In California.
However, if the broccoli cron does
not come on as rapidly ns had Won
anticipated it will not take long for
the-cnuliflower to lie out of the way.
which will result In ninch better
market prices being obtained on
broccoli. If the weather only re
mains cold and damp as today the
heads will not be ready for cutting
as Boon as they otherwise would and
will probably be somewhat larger
also.
Several buyers are reported to be
on their way to Roseburg and will
Gov

crop and will direct several experi

Members of the Rotary Club had
the pleasure today noon to listen to
Senator H. L. Eddy discuss his edu
cational measure introduced at the
late session of the Oregon legisla
ture. During the brief period al
lowed the speaker to discuss this
very important measure the senator
brought only the salient features of
the bill to the attention of the club
members.
More practical courses In our high
schools Is not a new matter with
Sen. Eddy. He has given the sub
ject close and earnest thought for a
grent many years, and the conclu
sions reached by him are not nil
spasmodic.
That high school students do not
come out of our schools with the
Droner fundamentals for a success
ful business career, and with an edu
cation which will insure success In
tho general run of vocations, is the
statement of Mr. Eddy. Students
are supplied with a generous supply
of Information but are not grounded
in tho fundamental branches so es
sential to a complete education, and
are lacking those requisites that
properly fit them for a professional
or business life, and the demand
now Is greater thnn ever for a more
thorough education.
The speaker never has questioned
the patriotism of high school stu
denla or the teachers of the state
as credited to him by opponents of
his measure at the state legislature.
He la Just as familiar with the loy
alty of the teachers and students of
tho state as any other citizen when
the foundation of the government is
threatened as was the ense in the
late World War. but he does crltl
rlse In no uncertain terms the text
books used ln public schools that
have for their purpose the Instilling
In the minds of the young socialistic
Ideas and teachings of the rankest
order. Socialist writers have been
"edging In" on our present school
system with un-Ainerieiin teachings
to a degree that many text books In
use today are poisoning the mindB
of high school students to such a
degree that the Impression Is gained
through their writings that the
American government Is a failure
and the speaker stated it is a crime
to have our boys and girls wrestling
with socialistic and other problems
that do not fit them In any particu
lar to make worthy citizens.
Senator Eddy made it very plain to
Rotary members that many of the
subjects taught In our high schools
are obsolete and should be elimi
nated and the hill Introduced at the
last session of the legislature was
for this purpose. It Is not the fault
of our teachers, which the speaker
spoke of In the most hli;h of terms,
but the system as applied to our
houses of learning that should be
art lusted and made more complete
land beneficial to the people at large.
The senator was louuiy apinauueu
at Ihe conclusion of his addro'a. the
member regretting that It wan Im
possible to live further time to inoi
Important subject today, but the
mailer under disriis'lon left a last
ing impression which will cause a
brond"r and closer attention to the
educational branches of the slate.
Mr. Eddy'! bill was di-realeu in tne
house by only one vote.
To new members were Intro
duced at today s luncheon. Stanley
Kidder, the local shoe dealer, ana it.
Shaw, of the Hlk-hway Service, both
of whom are now full-fledged Roiar
Ians. Another Important Increase in the

water, which can be greatly increased
by 600 feet of pipe. In order to avoid
