South Carolina Thomas E. Miller, president of the . South Carolina college, in speaking of Salem and the surrounding country was very enthusiastic and said that nowhere had he seen a country that had so im pressed him. "The West,' he said, "has certainly been bless ed and this beautiful valley is the garden spot of what I have yet seen. Nature has been , kind to this section and it only re mains for the people to make it the greatest fruit district in the world." Porto Rico "Here Nature has done her best in my "estima tion," said D. W. . Mav, director of the Porto Rico station at Mavaeeur. Porto Rico. "I will never lorget tne wuiamette valley. It has unfolded new possibilities of nature to me and I marvel in her present greatness but even marvel more at what her future may bring forth." ADVERTISING EXPERIENCE. The Agricultural College Presidents having visited the walnut orchards of Yamhill," the hop fields and cherry orchards of Polk, and the prune orchards of Marion, and the 0. A. C. at Cor vallis all unite in singing the praises of the great Willamette Valley. Expressions of "opinion Secured from some - of them while the party was in Salem the other day are as follows: Ohio "You can instruct the. East in many things. You can teach them how to farm, you can show them how to generate energy. Your Western farmer is a human dynamo," said Homer C. Price, dean of the Ohio State University of Colum bus, Ohio. "You havev a Won derful valley, and: its- prospects are unlimited. The young man's field of best endeavo is in the West." Maine "Opportunities were never as-golden, young man, as they are in your valley," is the sentiment of George E. Fellows, president of the University of Maine, of Orons, Maine. "Nothing is demanded in . this country but good hard . work, a judicious exercise ' of brain and ' legitimate methods. They will j win anything in the West" . Nevada "The green fields, the beautiful river, the beautiful city and the everlasting hills gjve you all that nature lean, be queath to any state," said J. E. Stubbs, president of the Univer sity of Nevada, of Reno. "The Willamette valley presents by far the most beautiful stretch of country I have ever seen, : and opportunities unmeasurable." Pennsylvania Thomas F. Hunt, dean of the . Pennsylvania ; state college, in speaking of the country he has . seen ia the Willamette valley, . said that in all of his travels he had never - seen anything like it and was amazed, at the marvelous re sources here.

Rhode Island ' 'The Wil lamette valley is truly a para: . dise, "said Howard Edwards , president of the Rhode Island state college. "The people of the East have no idea that such a Country exists. A great future is in store for this valley, and the postibilities that are now looked forward to will be surely realized." Virginia "The East has its Commercialism, the South its in- dustries. but here in the West - Will be found the garden spots ' of the country, " . said President Walter B. Elliott, of the Virginia State college. "It seems tome;" . he added, "that advancement in the Willamette valley is in its in- ; fancy, but when one who Advertising in all - its phases, both in relation to the newspa pers and magazines having space to sell and the business interests of the country which spend mil lions of dollars in advertising their wares, will be discussed during the fifth annual session of the Associated advertising Clubs of America, which ' was opened in Louisville, Ky., yes terday. All of the large cities of the country having advertising clubs are represented in the con vention. One of the most interesting features of the session will be the addresses by great advertis ers who nave made lortunes through the magic of printers ink. One of these is Frank Van Camp, of - Indianapolis, r . who spends two million dollarsa year to advertise "his milk, bean', "and other food products. . In telling of what advertising has done for him, Mr. Van Camp cites this instance: "I made ar rangements, to spend $100,000 in one week in Greater New York alone, and belorethe week was out I had to cut out advertising and give day and night orders to my factories." That is why Mr. Van Camp is qualified to speak, oh "Advertis ing. What It Is, and Its Effect on the Consumer." Hugh Chalmers was getting $72,000 a year as advertising and sales manager of the National Cash Register Company when he left that job to take the presi dency of the Chalmers-Detroit Company. ;v "I diJn't know anything about antomobiles, r but I did know something . about advertising," explained Chalmers naively. - He developed an idea for a new type of car, spent the modest sum of $28,000 in a -week to let the country know about it and sold 984 machines as a result. What he' thinks of advertising will .: be told under the title of "Advertis ing and Salesmanship." The big business men of the country, who have come to know the necessity of wise expendi tures in advertising, will, meet with the convention along with the "ad" writers and the agency men. - . . - enough for his own consumption and if he has ten cents worth over, he magnanimously (?) sends it to town and exchanges . it for something he is in need of. How can a town be prosperous with a arming; community like that? Liong bet ore coming here the writer had heard of the indepen dence of the Willamette Valley farmer and now she believes it. t is certainly time these were divided up and apportioned "to ivide-awake; up-to-date people who would apply business meth ods along with farming. -' Commenting upon : the lax- method, of supplying the trade, the reply has been, Oh most every one has their own garden, " wnicn may nave oeen true some time ago, but ' now times have really changed in - Corvallis and probably y one-third the people have small gardens with nothing like a full complement of vege tables. ' Many , of the new and beautiful homes have nothing more than a lawn and ' a few roses and then there are the new families that come in each fall, some to open boarding places -for the students and others to send their own families to school; they are all to be taken account of now; they have to patronize the grocer for stale vegetables or do without. ' -. ' . - An amusing incident occurred not long since when a little bov called on one of these new fam ilies to sell ten cents worth of of green beans. " One of the chil dren of the house announced his errand when several called with one accord: "Sure we'll " take them; grab him quick before he gets away." The" writer dotes on green cucumbers and has tried numerous times to get a few at the stores that were not wilted, but has only been suc cessful to the extent of three, and here the season is nearly over. Oh my, Oh me, she feels like moving to Albany, where she has heard they really have nice truck gardens to supply the trade. -To buy vegetables from a wag on that comes to the door at least three times a week in the summer and twice in the winter, is the only correct way in which a housewife can supply her table with choice, fresh, wholesome, food in this line, and as a , vege table diet has been proven much superior to meat, it behooves her to try and have her vege tables as fresh and plentiful and nerve supplying as possible. Many of the ; minor ailments of me ooay can De corrected by a proper vegetable diet but where oh where are we going to get them? Echo answers, "Where?' Housekeeper. quality. There are some badspotsin the valley, where vermin-have left a blight, but such unsalable hops will be left on the vines. It is likely that the total yield of the state will approach that of last year. . Mr. Krebs reported last night that the crop of his yard was in fine condi tion and there was no mold.

OREGON Hop Pickers Get More Money (Continued! from, page one ) this year. . Last year growers paid 50 cents a box to pickers " and sold their hops at - seven or eight cents a pound. At the present time the market price of hops is 20 cents a pound, and will probably be higher later. While the growers who have not yet sold their crop will not object to Mr. Krebs rais ing the scale of wages in . his yard, those who contracted their crops early at about the cost of - production will view the matter in a different light. The first .installment of pickers for the Krebs "place, left Portland early yesterday morning on a special train. There were' eight passenger coaches on the train, all of them were filled. About 200 additional pickers will be sent up on the regular train this morn ing, and more will go on Sunday and Monday mornings. -j.-.- The weather yesterday was ideal for the maturing of the crop, and if it con tinues as favorable for the next two or three weeks the Oregon hop harvest will be a' success, both in quantity and Oregon State Fair September 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 SIX FULL DAYS Camping grounds and Evening Entertain ment free.
