Canby People Make
Success of Poultry
CANBY, July 25. "Fir Lane" Poul
try Farm, owned by Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Tompson, of this "city, who are spe
cializing in Single 'Comb White Leg
horns, of the Hollywood strain, is one
of the forty flocks in tha state of Or
egon that has been designated a poul
try demonstration farm. A series of
meetings are to be held under the
supervision of H. E. Cosby, poultry
extension specialist.
Mr. Thompson was a" shingle man
ufacturer up to 1919, eleven years of
which he devoted to this industry in
British Columbia and three years at
Florence, Oregon. Ha decided to en
ter the poultry business in Oregon,
where he and his wife purchased a
well-improved place in Canby Gardens
in 1920, and the next year he started
into the poultry industry. As the
place the Thompsons purchased ha
not been in any sense a poultry ranca,
modern buildings for the birds were
erected. Among these were a brooder
house to care for the baby chicks and
a laying house. The latter is 142x20
feet, and is fitted with trapnests, san
itary drinking troughs with automatic
faucets.
Careful Study is Made
Mr. Thompson made a careful' study
of the poultry business and also
learned from other poultry fanciers
how to care for chickens. He says
that there is more to learn, although
he and his wife read and talk "chick
en" with as much enthusiasm as when
first starting into the industry.
In an Interview with Mr. Thompson
this week he says: "This is one of
the poultry demonstration farms of
the Oregon Agricultural College Ex
tension service, and we derived much
benefit from the meetings held here.
"We hatched about 5000 baby chicks
fromyoung hens this year, and the
chicks were strong' and easily raised.
Most of these were sold . as day-old
chicks and 600 young pullets. We on
ly mated a few of the best of our birds
last winter. The coming winter we
will have over 600 two-year-old hens
as breeders, mated to cockerels from
high-producing hens from the Holly
wood farm. We have eight pedigreed
cockerels, all from the sons of 300
egg-hens. Two are from a son of the
famous 336 egg hen.
Records Are Kept
"We believe in line breeding, and
shall study it thoroughly, and with
our accurate records of trapnested
hens and pedigreeing and trapping
their pullets, we feel we can keep im
proving our flock."
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have not
complete records yet on all of their
hens, as many have not completed
their year in laying, but a large num
ber are already over the 200 mark
and as high as 246.
Mr. Thompson says "high records
are not everything health and vigor
come first, and we cuTl continuously
so as to get those out that are not up
to what we aim to keep."
This fall Mr. Thompson will build
a large, modern incuDator cellar. On
ly eggs of good size go into the incu
bators at this poultry farm.
In feeding the birds Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson use the commercial mash,
es fed dry, but mix their own scratch
feed from grains to be had at nearby
farms. Kale is raised most for the
green feed. The chickens are allowed
their freedom in the large yards the
year round, rain or shine.
Visitors are Shwn Chickens
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are always
pleased to show the visitors their
birds. During the hatching season
their poultry farm was one of ,the
most interesting in Clackamas county.
The Thompsons are putting into ef-j CANBY, July 2b. With threatening
feet the practical suggestions made I clouds, a large number of farmers of
by Professor Cosby. Among these is this section started to stack their cut
shade in the poultry yard, as Mr. Cos- J grain this morning, getting into rea
by emphasized the need of shade in diness for the threshing machine,
the yard. In order to have the shade j which will be in the Canby section
the Thompsons have planted a large I within a few days. The wheat, ac-
square to asparagus and will also set
out much kale with a temporary mov
able fence that will make it possible
to shift the flock from one yard to
another, so that they will always
have shade and green feed and be on
the ground that has been turned over
and cultivated.
The first meeting held at the
Thompson farm by Mr. Cosby was
attended by 74 poultry enthusiasts,
when the subject of Professor Cosby
was "Feeding for Inter Egg Produc
tion." On March 8 a similar meeting
was held, when his subject was
"Hatching and Brooding." There
were 52 in attendance at thai meeting.
The Thompson farm was formerly
owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Kau
pisch. of this city, who made a won
derful record in producing nearly ev
ery variety or vegetable, and who
were awarded the handsome silver
cup and many cash prizes at the
Clackamas county fair.
Tramps Attempt To
Start Grass Fire
Growling and grumbling because
motorists failed to pick them up for a
ride two tramps, walking from Salem
to Portland, made an unsuccessful and
half-hearted attempt to start a fire
just north of Canby Sunday. One of
them threw a lighted cigarette in the
dry grass along the highway, was the
report of a woman who refused to
give her name.
This unknown woman was also
walking from Salem and although she
did not seek a ride, a motorist picked
her up for a part of the distance, aft
er which she met the tramps. She
claims that they were very bitter be
cause no one offered them a ride and
just outside of Canby one of them re
marked, "This Is a good place to stai
something," and threw the cigarette
in the grass. The woman dropped be
hind and unknown to the two men
stepped on the lighted cigarette and
extinguishing the same.
The woman claims, that the men
were about 35 and 40 years of age,
both being "hard-lookers,"-- having
about a week's growth beard.

Farmers at Canby
to Have Wheat Crop
Threshed This Week
cording to present indications, will be
of fair crop, while the spring sown j
grain will be a failure, owing to tne
continuous dry weather. Oats have
suffered and will be of short yield.
Potatoes arelooking well, consid
ering the weather conditions, but a
good rain will be of great benefit to

damage the cut grain. Most of the
fall sown grain in and close to Canby
is cut.

Growers Shipping
Tons of Berries
CANBY. Or., July 26 So far this
season 130 tons of Loganberries have
been shipped through the Oregon
Growers' Association from Canby 130,
with O. B. Long In charge, and it is
probable that this week the greater
part of the shipment will end. The
association has arranged with Mr.
Long to take charge of shipping the
Evergreen blackberries from this sec
tion, and from indications tons of
these berries will find a ready demand
at the canneries, and the price will
be somewhat' encouraging to the
growers. The Evergreen blackberry
vines are prolific and require no care,
but a number of the growers have tak
en special pains and cultivated the
berries and arranged them in rows.
Among these is Dr. W. E. Hempstead,
who has recently arrived from Oregon
City to take up hf3 profession, and
with his family occupying for the sum
mer the farm, located on the Pudding
River. The vines are growing on
beaver dam, and considered the best
for the Evergreens, growing larger
and of a richer flavor. All lowland
grown Evergreen berries are consid
ered better than those grown on high
land.
The Schmitt Produce Company
having shipped 86,113 pounds of Ever
green blackberries from this section
last year, will again shio berries to
the Graves Packing Company of
Woodburn, the company purchasing
the berries last year, the company ad
vising Mr. Schmitt that it will handle
all Evergreens received by the local
produce company. The boxes and
crates will arrive from the cannery
the first of next week, for the black
berries will soon be ready for market,
earlier than last year, this owing to
the continued hot weather.
The Schmitt Produce Company ship
ped to the Graves cannery this sea
son six tons of Loganberries and six
tons of Royal Anne cherries, besides
a large quantity of Lamberts and
Bings. The Lamberts and Bings this
season did not reach the quality and
quantity as last year, for many of the
growers found their fruit infested
with worms. One of the housewives
found after canning her Bing and
Lambert cherries that 40 jars (un
pitted) were wormy and it was nec
essary to destroy all. The small
white worms were floating among the1
cherries and juice. This is due to
the trees not being properly cared for,
and it has been found that, such trees,
from which wormy fruit was gathered,
were 'Infested with codling moth.
Althougb the Royal Anne cherries
were of short crop they were in ex
cellent condition when arfivingIn the
local markets and free from worm.

PACKERS CHARGED
WITHATTEMPTTO
BUY Ff SHPETITION
G. G. Green, Initiator of Bill
To Stop Seines and Wheels,
Denies Effort to Sell Out
To Commercial Interests.
AFFIDAVITS SIGNED
BY TWO LOCAL MEN
J. W. Moffatt Claims No Part
In Any Deal Concerning
Proposed Regulatory Law.
In affiidavits signed Wednesday aft
ernoon G. G. Green, or West Linn, who
has been accused by the salmon pack
ers of attempting to sell to them the
petitions for the salmon, bill which he
has Initiated for the fall election,
charges the .salmon packers with ap
proaching him in an effprt to buy his
bill, and gives details of a conversa
tion said to have been held with their
representative on or about the first
week in June.
In denying the charges contained In
affidavits signed by Frank M. Warren
of the salmon packers' association,
Green said that after he had been ap
proached by their representative and
had refused to sell out to them, that
they put a detective on bis trail, and
that the meeting mentioned in War
ren's affidavit was framed by them
and that he was present only by their
insistent invitation. He denied that
he had arranged the meeting, and
calls attention to the fact that the
meeting was held on June 24th, 2 days
after the petitions had been filed at
Salem, which was too late to withdraw
or sell them out to the packers. Green
has in his possession an acknowledge
ment of receipt of the petitions by Sec
retary of State Kozer, dated June 22.
1922, and stating that the petitions
contain 13,312 verified signaures of
legal voters, or sufficient to put the
measure on the ballot, and that it
would be submitted to the voters at
the fall elecion.
Green also denies the statement at
tributed to Carl Shoemaker, state
game warden, concerning the amount
of money he had secured from fisher
men for handling the petitions. He
said that he had collected a little over
$500, and had paid out nearly $1800 on
the deal, and that he had not collected
$3000 as charged.
An affidavit, making a similar de
nial, $nd charging that, he knew no-
-thing of the attempts to sell the fish
bill, attributed to him by the packers,
was also made yesterday by J. W.
Moffatt, whose" name was connected
with a so-calei expose of the affair.i
The affidavit as signed by Green
follows:
I, G. G. Green, being first duly
sworn, say and depose, that on a cer
tain Saturday, the latter part of May
or the first week""in June, of this year,
I was informed that a telephone call
J-.ud come in for me and to call a cer
tain number. The party in question
proved to be one J. W. Moffat. He in
formed me that a visitor would see me
the following day, Sunday, at 11 a.
m. He sai l thit I-.c was not well and
could not travel and asked me to see
him at the said time.
I consented to tM? and on the fol
lowing day called as directed. He in
formed me in a few words of the na
ture of the visit and went into the
house. Presently a man appeared and
he introduced himself as a Mr. Gear
rin. He suggested that we take a walk,
which we did. He immediately came
to business with the remark, "I don't
suppose that I need, tell you why I am
here." I replied, "I have heard some
thing . but further information would
clear up some points.' He then said,
"I am here in the interests of certain
salmon packers to get your price for
dropping the proposed measure that
you have been circulating." I said.
"What is your proposition? He re
plied that he had no definite plan in
view and asked that I make some
statement to sfart pn. I then told
him the bill was not gotten up for the
purpose of selling out and didn't think
that he could come high enough to
hake lit interesting. I also explained
my views on the salmon industry and
the way that our -local stream was be
ing depleted of salmon to the benefit
of the Columbia River packers.
This of course did not interest him
in the least and he said as much. He
said even though the bill passed, that
it would be declared unconstitutional
because it conflicted with certain In
dian treaties.
I presume that we talked from 15 to
20 minutes on the subject and how I
could expect as much for filing the pe
tition as by calling it oft. I explained
that if I only broke even on expense
I would still have a fair amount .of
self respect and could still walk down
the street with my chin in the air. He
laughed and said, "You must remem
ber that no counter offer will be
made you and if you can name a rea
sonable price we will have this set
tled. He then asked me to sign an
agreement not to bring this up again
for at least ten years and to turn the
petitions over to him in case of a set
tlement, I answered "no" in both
cases.
After again explaining that there
would be no counter offer and that he
might be back the following Tuesday,
he left, and I have not seen him since.
The foregoing is the substance of the
conversation I had with the said Mr.
Gearrin.

Man Visits Moffatt
Mofatt's affidavit follows.
In refutation of the implication of
being "connected with the notoriety In
the recent newspaper discussion of
the inititated Fish Bill, I desire to
make the following statement under
oath, to-wit:-
On the 27th day of May, 1922. I went
to the office of Frank M. Warren In
Portland, Oregon, to ascertain if Ed
M. Atkinson had made an affidavit as
to his trusteeship of a certain lot own
.ed by me in Oregon City, which I was
trying to get in order to complete a
sale of the. same, and which Mr. At
kinson, who is a brother-in-law to Mr.
Warren, had refused to make, which
Mr. Warren stated he had not obtain
ed. Mr. Warren said he could give me
very little of his time as he was busy
on account of the sinking of one of
their boats up in Alaska, which news
just came to him by telegraph. I then
said, I am sorry, and I have a boat
which I will sell to you at a very rea
sonable figure." He, inquired what
kind of a boat, and"! replied that it
is a gasoline launch and described tjie
size of the boat.
He replied that he was overstocked
with that size boats at that time. I
jokingly inquired it it was on account
of the Fish Bill to close 'the river to
fish wheels?
He said, "What do you know about
this bill?"
I replied that I knew very little and
thought it was either spite work or
for a hold up.
He asked if I ad an idea as to who
was back of the bill, and I replied I
knew very little, as I had been con
fined to my bed for months with a
very bad arm, but rumor had it that
Jack Albright was concerned in it; al
so that last election he handled an in
terest bill which was voted on and
defeated by big vote.
And I further say that I had not
seen this Mr. Green who Is back of
the fish bill within the past year, prior
to my conversation with Mr. Warren;
that I had never had any conversation
with any person backing or carrying
any of the petitions, had never seen
the petitions or any of them or had
any conversation with any person con
nected in any way with the circulation
or preparing the petitions or the bill
itself, and if I had not" seen the men
tion of it in the paper" I would have
had no knowledge that there was such
a bill proposed, and all the knowledge
I had of the bill was through the
newspapers.
Very shortly after my visit to Mr.
Warren a man claiming to be from
Mr. Warren came to my home and in
quired where he could find Mr. A1-.
bright and I told him I did notnow
where he lived, but he could find out
where he was at one of the picture
shows, which was run by his brother-
in-law. He then inquired for Mr.
Green, and I told him I did notknow
exactly where he lived', thought it was
on the hill "omewhere, but I thought
he was not here and been away for
a considerable time, but he could find
out by phoning to the store near
which Green lived. Then this agent
asked me to phone for him, which I
did and found Green would be home
that evening, and, at the request of
the agent, I left work at the store fr
Green to call me and that evening the
agent called me from Portland and I
told him that I had found out that
Green was at home and he could see
him if he would come up the next day.
Furtfier, I had been confined to my
home since the first of March, 192,
with erysipelas in my arm, and was
unable to be out until a very short
time before my visit "to Mr. Warren,
and I never had any connection with
the said bill in any manner, shape or
form, or with any of the people con
nected with it.

GERMAN EMPLOYES TO
GET WEEK END LAY OFF
BERLIN, July 21. "Week-end" holi
days, the custom in England, will be
come a law in Germany.
" With compulsory invalid, sick and
accident insurance largely enjoyed by
employers already in force and with
liberal municipal and state support
for the unemployed, of whom there
are at present butfew, the forthcom
ing legalization of week-end holidays
as provided in the labor law is an
other move in . the direction of mak
ing Germany a paradise for the work
ing man. Many industries now have
a 46-hour week or less, while shop
councils determine who may or who
may not be discharged.
Those in favor of legal week-end
holidays have advanced the theory
that they are a big factor in health
for the working classes and adds to
their joy of 'ife, increases their capa
city for work and gives great impetus
to athletics.

GROCER PICNIC AT
GLADSTONE PARK
KNOCiraCOLD
Crowd of 11,000 Comes To
, Chautauqua Grounds For
Annual Outing; Record
For General Hilarity Set.
OREGON CITY BUSHERS
. WIN BASEBALL GAME
Races, Dance, Minstrel Show,
Eats, Features of Program;
$1,800 Is Given In Prizes.
"A good time was had by all!"
That was the verdict brought home
last night by a jury of 11,000 people,
men, women and kiddies who Wednes
day sat in hilarious judgment of the
annual Grocers' picnic, held at Glad
stone park.
It was the biggest affair that the
grocers have ever staged. It was the
first time it had ever veen held at
Chautauqua park, and it broke all of
the former attendance records nearly
in two, set a new standard for pep and
good eats and batted 1000 per cent
when it came to jazz.
Eight thousand people were expect-
ed. There were nearer 12,000. And
the committees are certain that there
were at least three spoony couples to
the' grove, and one freckled faced
youngster in the grandstand who did
n't get counted.
Oregon City won the ball game. The
score was 4 to 2. And even the Port
land outfit admit that it was a good
battle royal on the diamond.
There was band music in the after
noon. There was a minstrel show in
the evening. Also there was a dance.
The sport program in the afternoon
disposed of $1800 in prizes in jig
time. And whenever any one got
tired of the formalities there wei-e
things to eat lots o them, an the
culinary delicacies that could be pro
vided. Multnomah, Clackamas, Yamhill
and Mariion counties were represent
ed. And so was Gotham. But the one
New York salesman who sauntered
into the grounds to see how they did
it out west, remarked that the party
was too swift for him and trotted bacfe
to the peaceful retreats of the metrop
olis around about eight o'clock.
The party didn't break up until near
ly midnight. The 'dance formed one
of the stellar attractions of the eve
ning. Special P. R. L. & P. cars con
veyed a small proportionpf the gro
cers, et al., back to the city and the
remainder returned either enFord or
by automobile. There were several
horse drawn rigs which meandered
down" the 82nd street road earlier in
the morning bringing parties to the
picnic And' there were "firm" deliv
ery carts, loaded to the runningboards,
too numerous to count.
Present indications, as Indications
go, point to a repeat at Gladstone.
The barometer of personal feel
ings among the good providers of
life's necessities in the Willamette
Valley points to "fair and warmer"
tomorrow.
