REVOLUTIONARY CANEBERRY PICKER is proving
its worth on the Drum berry farm near Sandy. Miles
Drum, upper left, watches with Interest as factory
representative, Larry Parsons, top right, makes a few
adjustments before proceeding down row at ripe berries.
Manufactured by Agricultural Science Inc., Portland,
there are only 14 such machines in existence, two at
which are being used In the area -- one on the Drum
farm and one on the Judd farm. The others are in use
in Washington, California and other sections of Oregon.
Manned by a crew of five, the picking machine can pick
one acre of berries in one hour — equivalent to the
labor of 100 human pickers.

Backward Beat
You’ll get fluffier cake bat
ter and more volume with a
portable electric mixer if you
move the beaters around the
bowl in the same direction all
the time. If you start going
clockwise, don’t reverse in the
middle at the job.
Lily Johnson, home econo
mist with a large appliance
manufacturer, visited the Ore
gon State University campus
recently and explained that
beaters are designed to whip
air into the batter. When you
switch directions, the tiny air
bubbles are broken. The same
applies to whipping cream or
any other mixing job.

picker gently vibrates each berry cane as the machine passes down the row and causes
ripe fruit to drop into conveyor belt where they move to a vacuum lift and pass out,
unbruised, for crating by the four sorters standing on platforms on either side of machine.

Others go with the adage,"A

The moss in that case being

me, “a stay put" ,or more
than forty years, I surely gath

But starting June 13th, 1 broke
old ties and moved to an apart

Assisted nobly by sons, Ross
and George and daughter-in-law
Nan, we sifted and sifted, Where
did all this stuff come from?
What was I thinking of to save
that? You've heard the story of
the old lady who had boxes and
boxes of string all nicely label
ed and there was even a box
with the inscription "Pieces
of string too short to be saved''.
1 didn't have any boxes of string
but other things just as useless.
Over and over again I wailed -
"I simply can’t get along with
out that.’’ While my long suf
fering
sons muttered, "But
Mom, there simply Isn’t room
for It." But bravely shutting
my eyes I parted with objects
I hadn’t used since I was a
teen-ager, old high school note
books,
latln grammars, old
family portraits, etc. etc.
Why does one hoard? Instinct
of self preservation, I guess.
But I am now very comfort
ably located in one of Rev.
Rose's lovely apartments and I
really feel relieved that I am
free of all that "dead wood."
So to all, the latch string is
out and I’ll love to have callers.
The new folks tn my old home,
Rt.1, Box 708 a re Mr. and Mrs.
Pardue and two small daught
ers, Joanle and Judy. They
are a delightful family. The
head of the house has a job
in Portland but he Is so tired
of the hustle and bustle of the
city that he’ll gladly drive the
added miles to his work. In
terested In the Boy Scouts, he
has acted as Counselor and has
helped In other worthwhile pro
jects. He has great plans for
improving his new home, spray
ing and trimming fruit trees
and doing many other things
that have been sadly neglected.
His wife, Rosa, Is Chilean by
birth and has only been in this
country five years although her
native tongue Is of course Span
ish, she has adopted our mode
of speaking remarkably well,
Including our twists and turns
of American English. She Is
little but is a demon at energy,
especially loves flowers and
without a doubt has two green
thumbs and eight green fingers.
My prized peonies and roses
will be safe with her.
Of course it was hard to leave
the "old homestead" which with
a minor interruption had been
in the family for many years.
My
husband’s
grandfather,
Thomas Hoffman, a Civil War
veteran, on his arrival from Ne
braska with his family in the
early 1870’s bought the land
from the original homesteader.
The Hoffman family lived there
happily until the early 1900’s
when age and poor health forced
Mr. Hoffman to sell out to son-
in-law Jim Ogden. liter they
leased it for a while to Nick
Vanderhoof and Billy O’Dell
and then we acquired the place
In 1922.
At that time there was the
house that Grandpa Hoffman
had so proudly built from lum
ber he hauled from Troutdale.
Every board was carefully In
spected and there was good lum
ber in those days. The house was
well made as Grandpa Hoffman
kept admonishlngthecarpenter,
"Don’t spare the nails.’* He
wasn’t going to have it tumb -
ling down about his ears. The
plan of the building was the
usual one of that period, amain
part with wing, porches front
and back, a kitchen flanked by
a wash room where reigned two
tubs on a wooden bench and that
necessary adjunct to wash day,
a wash board
(O my aching
backX On the other side of the
kitchen was the pantry with rows
and rows of shelves all modestly
covered with curtains strung on
strings which soon sagged bad
ly. There was a window In this
> room which had a shelf on the
outside wall, screened so food
could be placed there where
the flies couldn’t get at them.
Flies were a constant menace.
Strings of sticky fly paper were
suspended from the celling as
soon as the warm days came.
What was In that sticky stuff?
It surely had a nauseous odor.
Besides these rooms there was
the dining room, living room and
bedroom. Upstairs there were
four tiny sleeping corroart-
ments. Closets? Th»y were
shelves with hooks beneath ,
where the owner’s wearing ap
parel was hung. Curtains were
tacked to the shelf. They served
very well as no one had many
clothes. The floors were plain

was real Industrious - down on
your knees with « «tiff brush -
to try and get up those grea.se
spots. All tn all, the houses tn
those days were woman killers
but I survived by not being too
fussy.
My brother built our present
home in 1928 for my parents
and after thetr deaths we ac
quired it. The old Hoffman house
was torn down acme years later
and no doubt some of those good
stout boards are functioning
perhaps in some modem home.

fore bugs and pests of all kinds
dominated the landscapes. An
enormous grape vine hung over
the woodshed and furnished fruit
for all the neighbora. It was
thought that the huge pile of
bones burled around Its roots
was the cause of such lavish
harvests.
No doubt some day, and not
far off either, there will tw
