ROSEBURG, OREGON, KRIOAV, APRIL 4, 1924. CRANKS IX AMERICA. Israel Zangwill, the noted English author, remarked in a lecture 6ome time ago in this country, that there are more cranks to the square mile in America than in any other country. As he told his audience that the Americans are the most lovable people in the world, his criticisms were taken good naturedly. Hut do our institutions tend to breed cranks? Almost anyone who has strong convictions is called a crank by some one. Modern society likes the pliant and pleasant man,, who has no firm convictions. Such folks are never called cranks, but they are not a force in leading public opinion. Just as a crank may be needed to make an engine move, so it is the cranks, the extremists, who arouse public opinion, and wake the nation or the community up to do the things that must be done. Still there is a quality of cranki ness that people must avoid if they expect to exercise much in fluence. It is cultivated by dwelling too much on any one line of thought. There are always some folks who get their minds al most exclusively on some one evil. It fills their horizon, and they attribute all the troubles of the nation to that one fault. Prob ably it is true that the more intelligence exists in a country, the more cranks there will be. Crank views do not occur in a coun try where people do not read and think much. Such folks are too absorbed in the superficial aspects of life. Cranky types are found rather in countries where there is a great deal of public discussion and people get stirred up over public questions. It is perhaps true that there arc more cranks in America than else where, but it is at least proof that our people are thinking. o Many people are loudly informing the public that they have no bananas today. Also by the uncultivated look of their back yards, it is evident that they have no beans, potatoes, peas, or other useful vegetables. o Much is said about necessity of treatment for the scalp. .Out forefathers had this attended to by the bloodly Injuns, who felt the best tiling was to remove the scalp altogether. o Storm clouds are said to be still lowering over the world, and the irresponsible and unscrupulous people who run off with our umbrellas should be severely dealt with. o It takes a lot of mediation to end strikes, when if there was more mediation they might not occur in the first place. o The boys do not have to learn to write legibly now, as they are of course all going to have typewriters. About all that many of the politicians have done toward re forestation is to plant more plum trees. o The 12 hour work day is considered an awful thing for everybody but Mother. o Many people are working quite hard to avoid work.

PICKItS Br BERTS BATES RADIO PROGRAMS From Pacific Coast Station GOOD EVENING FOLKS A feller down The main street Put in a window Display yeatiddy And made peepholes In big sheets of Paper for the Folks to peer Through and put tin a sign labelled "For men only" And there was Such a crowd Of women around That we couldn't See what it Wat all about. DUMBELL DORA THINKS A blunderbuss is a flapper's baby buggy. Geo. Cohan wrote a pippin' of a pome once and we're glad to pass It on to our bunch of perusers: MYSELF AND ME I am the best pal I ever had, I like to be with me; I like to sit and, tell myself Things eoaf identially. I often tit and ask me If I shouldn't or I should, ' And I find that my advice to me It always pretty good. I never got acquainted with Myself till here of late; And I find myself a bully chum, I treat me simply great. I talk with me and 'walk with me. And show me right and wrong; I never knew how well myself And I could get along. I never try to cheat me; I'm as trustful at can be. No matter what may come or go, I'm on tne square wnn me. It's great to know yourtelf and have M pal inai a an ywui " , To be tuch company for yourtelf, you re never leu aionc. You'll try to dodge the masses. And you'll find the crowds a joke, If you only treat yourself as well At you treat oiner toiks. I've made a atudy of myself, Compared me with the lot, And I've finally concluded I'm the best friend.

POLLEN ATIONS OF THE FRUIT CROP Possibly tho greatest agency in pollenatlon of fruit trees comes through beeB. wild and domesticated. Olher ngencies of Importance are wind, rain, certain Insects and birds, lo a minor extent. With but few ex ceptions all fruits and seed plants produce more abundantly if the free agencies of cross pollenatlon are al lowed full force. It is fortunnte that man can largely control the domi nant factor in the proper ppllrnallon of his fruit. The unfortuna-te fact -of the subject is that very few orchard lats have made no effort to have one or more stands ot bees available at pollcnation time or more stands of bees per acre of mature trees In bear ing. The cherry crop absolutely re quires cross pollenatlon if the fruit is to develop. A number of our aweet cherries aro not only storilo one with another but are inter-sterile with each other. Possibly the best pollen Izer for Blng. Lambert and Royal Anne are first Black Republican. Black Tartarian and long stemmed Waterhouse. A variety known as cen tennial is a good pollenizer for Hoyal Anne. The pollenatlon of sweet cherries this year means more than It has for aeveral yeara at it happens that the beat pollenlrers such at the varietict mentioned above have been terloualy injured by the winter freeze. At county agent I would atrongly advise every grower having aweet cherriea to secure at least two strong colonies of beet for every acre of sweet cherriet he baa in fruit. The bees will pay for themselves in the polllnlzatlon work in tbe cherry or chard alone. If you have never hand led beet your knowledge can be ma terially increased by securing litera ture from the county agenft office. Whether you know anything about thla aublect or not, get a few hives to put in the cherry orchard. From In dications they are going to be of im mense value this year. B. W. COONEY, County Agent. BROCCOLI GROWERS ORGANIZE It it believed that the majority of broccoli growers of the L'mpqua Val ley know that an association was re cently organized to foster tne prouue. tlon of this immensely valuable crop. The association has rather a large name but the county agent informs the world that the activities of the asso ciation aro larger than the name. The name it as follows: Douglaa County Broccoli Protective Association. The oblect of this association will be to as slst every member grower In the pro duction of a miximum crop or oroc- coll. Naturally tho program starts with good trustworthy seed. B. W Cooney, county agent and secretary of the association, says that he has information regarding seed that is K worth a good many dollars to any K grower. This information can only go. J out satisfactorily to the actual mem- 4 bership. Sixty growers have alrendy A aligned themselves with the associa- TA tion and have handed in their fee of one dollar. Thla association will Be on the Job every day in the year in W .ii ...i..H thut nertnin to actual . production. Problems of marketing are well taken care of at this time by two or more efficient organizations. A FEW HOT sn SATURM cy jug . A Cane and Maple Syrup, fan, ImnorterJ F.nolieV. TV , iMuui, imnmk .
