Or., Kab. 17.- Todar la "Fruit Growers' day" In Corvallla. The city la crowdad with farmers from all porta of thla county and from Linn county -acroaa the ' Willamette . river river from Corvallla. A apaclaf train on , the Portland. Eugene & Eastern brought 100 or more from Monroe, and trains on the Southern Pacific and Cor-, vallla & Eaitern brought many from tother aectlona of the county. The feed barns are taxed to the limit to accom modate those having driven from dis tricts where there are bo railroad ac . coram odatlons. At the morning meeting at the Com mercial club) the first steps were taken to organise, a Fruit. Growers'' associa tion, tt being the plan to make every mall fruit grower in this ' section of the valley a member. At noon a dinner prepared under the direction-. of the Corvallis business men war. served to the visiting farmers. At, 1 o'clock the general . meeting was convened at the Opera house. Basator Panlhamus Bpaaa-avift f For two house this afternoon an au dience of S00 persona, mostly farmers, listened to a-sound talk by Senator W. H. Paulhamus, of Sumner, Wash. 'The meeting is the outgrowth of a meeting held at the Commercial club last No vember In the Interest of developing this community as a small fruit section. At that time Mr. Paulhamus was pres ent He at that tune promised to come back at a date to be arranged by the committee then appointed. For sev eral weeks plans fpr this meeting have ' been formulating. . : Mr. Paulhamus endorsed great work the agricultural colleges in the various states are doing, and bringing out the point that even . though our colleges teach ' us how to grow more products on the land, the fanner cannot make a success of farming valuable land such as Is to be found In the Willamette val ley unless he knows how to market those products at the highest price, and with' no limitation as to the quan tity of the products mat tan be so marketed. Aa a result of cooperation among the farmer of the community, he said; the amount of money paid to the transportalon lines tor shipment of the products of this community to the markets should average 1100 per acre of small fruits raised per annum. Organisation Heeded. As a means of marketing the fruit raised here he recommended an associ ation similar to that of the Puyallup and Sumner Fruit Growers' association. of which he is president That associ ation, consisting at about 800 members. grades the iruy, ships the fresh fruit that will stand "shipping and for which there is a ready market, and cans the remainder.-' All apples, pears, plums, etc., that fall from th trees are used, and the fruit grower gets all tha profit Mr. Paulhamus is an enthuslastlo ' dairyman, and showed the7 'advantages to b gained for the trult grower by ' maintaining a dairy herd proportionate In number of animals to the amount of small fruits under cultivation; citing the fact that In his experience, the li quid fertiliser from dairy cows must not be overlooked by the small fruit grower. - -, - Oathertag Information. i t -v M H i I r 1.

The grower was asked to give the .number ef acres of berries now bearing, a statement of the. number of acres the grower Intends to plant to Loganberries, '"KJeberrlea, and Cuthbert Red raspberries. By the - Commercial -elub, purchasing the plants It Is believed that a considerable sav ing may be realised on the plants. The folder explained: "The bualness men of Benton county are ready to co operate with the growers In develop ing the small fruit industry and assist In Its organisation. Until an organisa tion Is perfected, the Corvallis Commer cial club offers Its services In securing nursery stock for those who are arrang ing to plant In the spring, and In ob taining data, tor the proposed organisa tion. Lower prioea can be had for vines ' ordered In large quantities than when purchased In small lota, and the express rates will be less.

U lUw 2r sips Dr. Jacobs in 1901 computed the num ber: of Jews, in the city as (00,000, a figurewhich was - geueTallyaccepted. Tha present total is surprisingly small, he says, In view Of tha tendency to over estimate tha Jewish population here. Dr. Jacobs based his investigation on tha number of 'Jewish burials. These, according to the board1 at health figures, range . frdm 71TB m-l0l to 10,011 in 1010. If we may assume that the death rate has deereaaed to 4 3.S par thousand this would give .an average Jewish pop ulation , -throughout the yaar of 120,000, an Increase of, roughly speaking, 43 per cent over J901." Dr. Jacobs says. "Wa may get a rough check on the figures by comparing tha movement of Jewish marriages during the same pe riod, which rose ffprn, 6062 in 1901 to S3S2 In 1910, an Increase of no less than 45 per cent indicating probably greater accuracy In the enumeration of the mar riages as well as Improved social con dition of the' Jews In New York. The general marriage rata for the city In 1910 was 9.69 per 1000. Applying this figure to (-the number of Jewish mar riages, this would indicate a Jewish population in that year of 660,000." . There is a larger proportion of mar riageable Jewesses according to Dr. Ja cobs, than of young women In the gen eral population, but this is counterbal anced by a much larger proportion of males to females in the Jewish popu lation who are perforce "bachelors. Therefore h estimates the. Jewish mar riage rata at 10 par 1000, which would give a Jewish population of 833,000 In 1910. Dr. Jacobs estimates the population on July-1, 1910, at 825,000; ha fln,la that 47,500 mora came to New York and remained from July .1, 1910, to June 20, 1911, and that In the same period the excess of births over deaths was 9900, This gives a total of 882,400.- Adding the 35,898 Jewish immigrants who landed at the port of New York since July 1, 1911,',' less 10,140 wholeft the city Immediately, and' the excess of birth' over death in that period pf Lillian Russell's Warning: Sore Feet-Bad Health Newberg, Or-t 1M, Tif.Newherg dls plays a rare degree 6f confidence in' human nature by never locking its woodhousea and In leaving its umbrellas and rubbers out on the porch ' over " ' Wl" .-v - .
