Stewart Community spirit and cooperative effort have instilled themselves Into the Very beings of the producing popu lation in many sections of the country during:. th past few years- As a rule where one enters the other follows, for they work well together. They are, la fact, closely related. Working one with the other, they go forward and accomplish things that skeptics had never beliieved possible before. They are "still a few doubters waiting out lde. - Community spirit is becoming more and more apparent in all rural sec tions of the country. There is, per haps, no other place where greater progress, along this line has been made than, in Western Oregon. Here it is said the first community house, or better called home, was built. Many communities have a common meeting place for mutual activities but for the most part these are owned by some sectarian, political or fraternal organ isation that does not embrace the en tire population. ALL ABE -MEMBERS . Community spirit, as it is showing Itself in tliis section, does not include "only - the members of the grange, the farm bureau, the Farmers' union or some sectarian group, all these .and others who are affiliated with no group, are part of it. There is no. con crete organization, it for the most part being only : enough to care for the nec essary finances. There are no dues, nor initiations. The activities, are spontaneous, from the starting of the movement: to the programs of every character held from time to tim Everyone is considered a member whether taking any part or not. There has been no paid agitator nor organ iser, for such was not necessary- Yet this movement has not hindered any of the other group activities in the same neighborhood : rather it has helped. The Riverside community near Albany- offers a concrete example of what a neighborhood can . do, once it is started Some six years ago a grange was organized there, which grew rapidly, but failed to interest ail of the people in that community, al though effort was made from the start to bwlld a grange hail it seemed that enough Interest could not be aroused to accomplish this. Tublic spirit was drawn closer during war time drives and when the farm bureau movement came along ready response was found -hereZ', About this time a proposal, almost spontaneous in nature, was made, that! a building be erected for community activities of all kinds Which would serve as a home for the grange and any and all other organ izations. This met with universal ap proval, but the actual starting of the "building was delayed until times had reached a more normal trend. BY CQMMJL'.MTT EFFORT InjJ921 tihe building was started on lanck, donated for the purpose at a natural community center. Carpenters were hired to supervise the work but large shaa-e of the building was 'done by the entire neighborhood turning out in force day after dav. r linrl ucra r-raised th rOUsrh rlortatii-n QimiiAn 1 , , . . . : i aaica sui ainas or community effort.

That the soil sur vey"of Lane county which the Cham ber of Commerce and farmers of this section have petitioned the Oregon Agricultural college to make, will start next spring, is the assurance of W.

Surveys in Polk and Linn counties will be completed first by the college. The Eugene chamber specialised in soil survey at Its booth at the county fair last year and has decided to advo cate drainage from now on, which is a logical following upf the survey. -J .

X msS Columbia County's Dairy Herds Show Decrease in Number Warren, Sept. 9. Compilation of the assessment roll of Columbia county shows an average assessed valuation for graded cows of J25, while registered stock is $S0. A decrease of 17 per cent is shown in the number of cows in Columbia county as compared with 1921. This, the farmer claims, is due tc the high price of feed as compared to the low price of milk, which is net ting the farmer about 16 cents per gal lon. The assertion Is made that it can not be produced at such a figure. An increase of 6 per cent is shown in cul tivated land and a decrease cf 30 per cent in the number of sheep in the county. The total assessed valuation will be close to $18,000,000.

CELERY INDUSTRY DEVELOPS FAST From a crop that was a novelty and served on the tables of only a few people to an industry that has pro duced as many as 17,000,000 crates in a year has been the development of celery production within the memory of many people how living. With the rapid increase in the growing of the crop, methods of culture and market ing have materially changed, new dis eases and pests have appeared, and a number of problems have arisen. Be cause of these new problems and dif ficulties, the United States depart ment of agriculture has Just issued Farmers Bulletin 1269. which is free for the public, on celery growing, by W. R. Beattie. in which are discussed the fundamentals of successful pro duction, including the best methods of growing and handling the crop. m The crop can be grown on almost any type of soil if enough plant food is present and water is supplied dur ing the dry periods, but most of the successful celery -growing enterprises are on low-lying muck, or "hammock" soils. Under present-day conditions it is not practicable to depend entirely on manure as a fertilizer and large quantities of commercial fertilizer are used, growers in the northeastern part of tho country are using from 1400 to 1SO0 pounds of high grade plant food to the acre. ' Florida growers some times use as much as three tons to the acre. But not all of the discussion is devoted to the commercial growing of celery. There is a chapter on produc ing the crop in the home garden, and many of the practices that have been developed are applicable no matter on what scale it is grown. Celery was onc.2 a fall and winter luxury associated with turkey and cranberry sauce, tut now It is eaten during the entire year and the produc tion of "early" celery has become a big business.
