Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
llfHY is it that California, Wash
" ington and Idaho produce, sell,
ship and get the money for many
times the volume of Oregon's pro
duction of fruits, vegetables, dairy
and poultry products?
What's the matter with Oregon,
anyway? Why can't we do what our
neighbors on all sides are doing?
IP YOU follow this column, you
read the other day the answer of
' William James to these questions.
Mr. James says:
"Western Oregon agriculture is
suffering chiefly from UNDER
PRODUCTION. "We suffer from under-production
because we haven't growers
enough with NERVE ENOUGH to
go nhead and produce quality stuff
in carload aud trainload quantities,
p.o as to meet the, requirements of
the big markets.
"Our growers on the farms lack
the nerve to go ahead on a big
scale partly because they haven't
the backing of the men with money
who live in the towns."
QO MUCH for what is wrong with
us. Now for a constructive sug
gestion as to what to do about It.
The suggestion comes from George
A. Dorris, whose experimental work
in the development of Important
Oregon crops private, personal ex
perimental work, paid for out of his
wn pocket has been worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to
Ihis state already and will be
tvorth millions In the future.
fUpl. DORRIS said yesterday to
"th!a writer:
"I read what James says about
under-production and the need to
produce good stuff in carload and
trainload quantities in order to get
into the big markets, and I think
it Is the soundest statement of what
we need to do I have ever seen in
print.
"Now I'm going to tell you how
wo can get some of this big-scale
production. RAISE ARTICHOKES.
We can sell at least 300 carloads
of tbem a year."
CALIFORNIA. Mr. Dorris adds, is
the big artichoke state. From
October to June, it grows and sells
artichokes all over -the country by
1he thousands of cars. But from
June to October California is out of
the market.
It is from JUNE TO OCTOBER
that Oregon artichokes come on the
market. Do yo'i see what that
means? It means that for eight
months in the year California cre
ates a market for artichokes and
then steps out of the market at the
very moment when Oregon's pro
duction is coming in.
"O
P courBe," Mr. Dorris says,
you will . be told that It
CAN'T 1)13 DONE. Just send any
body to me who tells you that Ore
gon can't prow artichokes.
"I've been growing . them, in a
small, experimental way, for near
ly 15 years, and I've grown finer
artichokes than ever went onto the
market from the best sections of
California.
"It CAN I)E DONE, and I know
It. Cut, Just as James says, we've
pot to produce them in carload
quantities If we're going to get
into the markets with them."
T7IVE or six years ago Mr. Dorris
spent rome time in the Half
moon Bay district of California.
which is the hig, outstanding arti
choke section. He was told by the
manager of the artichoke assocla
tion:
"If you can do what you say you
can do with artichokes up In your
country, we can sell 300 carloads of
your product during the time when
we are off the market."
ET this significant statement:
"WHEN WE ARE OFF THE
MARKET.'
If we work it right, California,
instead of being a comftetitor, will
be a pace-maker for us here In Ore
gon. She will establish the market
with her earlier production, and we
ran then come in and go on with
the market with our later AND

Spring descended today uion
one-half of the world from the
North Pole to the Equator.
Careless of whether the ground
was covered with snow or blos

bringing its usual Influences.
Generally speaking, she got a
somewhat cool reception in New
England, the middle Atlantic re
gion and the northern portion of
the middle west. The west, south
and southwest warmed up to the
occasion a bit.
She brought her usual gifts,
spring lambs, pussy willows and
puppy love; marbles, lilacs and
spring sales; sulphur and molasses,
liniment and Jamaica ginger.
In the south and on the Pacific
coast the blossoms break out as If
the sun were staging a popcorn
party. Everything turns green.
Hills turn green, fields turn green,
early plants and bushes turn
green.

WASHINGTON, March 21. Go
ing further into the $36,100 which
Claudius Huston, chairman of the
republican national committee, col
lected from the Union Carbide
company, the senate lobby com
mittee today heard W.- E. Moore,
Huston's personal representative,
testify that he bought and sold
stocks with the money at Huston's
direction.
Huston had previously testified
he did not know that part of the
$36,100 had been used as margin
for stock purchases until he heard
Charles A. Krfckl, member of the
brokerage firm of Blyth and Bon
ner, give the information to the
committee.
The money collected from the
carbide company was given to
HuHton for the Tennesse River Im
provement association which has
interested itself in Muscle Shoals
legislation. Huston is a - former
president of the association.
Reports that Huston would re
sign his post as republican chair
man have persisted since his ques
tioning by the lobby committee be
gan. He, however, has denied
these. His withdrawal at some
later date, however, would cause
no surprise in political circles.

WASHINGTON, March 21 After

the fifth time h tariff on oil, Sena
tor Watson of hidKmi. the republi
can leader, announced the senalo
should stay In session tomorrow
until It passed the measure.
Prior to the vote of 3X lo 37
against oil protection, democnits
and western republicans had rallied
and put through, 39 to it6, an
amendment to slash existing rated
on plain glass which were placed
under the flexible provisions by
president ial proclamat ion.
Watson was joined in his demand
for speedy disposition of the tariff
measures by Senators Swanson of
Virginia and Rarkley of Kentucky,
democrats.
The senalo then by a voto of 39
lo 29 approved an amendment by
Senator Hatfield, republican, West
Virginia, to add ten cents a dozen
pieces to the duties now In the bill
on nil chlnawares.
It was the closest Ihe oil ndvo
cales came to getting their tariff.
Nine democrats voted with 2S re
publicans for the duty while 17 re
publicans and 21 democrats oh
posed it.
Ashurst Criticises
Tho fifth attempt for the oil
duly brought an attack from Sena
tor Ashurst, democrat. Arizona, on
lis sponsors. The Artzonian In ro
hi ni wns admonished by Vice
President Curl is for using; bo vera
language.
"When I wna nl the bar." said
Ashrust. "tactics such as have been
employed here on oil would havo
been severely denounced1. I do not
question the good fnlth of the tar
iff proponents but It fs extremely
bad taste and bad manners to call
up an amendment of that kind after
senators havo gone home to a slclc
bed believing tho oil matter set
tled." Boon To Northwest
