about" this loganberry business, as
wo did over prunes in the late 80s,
and over apples ten years ago. !Wo
don't want to get . up a land boom,
and bring bookkeepers and school
teachers here from all over the world
to go - bankrupt vainly Expecting to
get rich from orchards or bushes. We'
don't want land to jump up to $500
and $100.0 an acre, based on the big
returns that Sam Urown, of Gervals.
our "loganberry1; king, has secured
from his patrimonial, homestead with
the ; aid of auto tractors and auto

What we do want Is. to direct the
attention of farmers ' now j here! to
what they can make for' themselves
from land they now own by turninC
their attention, to immediate profits
In 'sight from growing loganberries
After our own , farmers have heen
getting the incomes for awhile and
the industry gets on a sound, per
manent basis will be time enough
to invite the rest; of the world fin
to buy producing loganberry land! at
fancy prices And- the' chances are
we won't have to Invite anybody; for
after, the war and the closing down
of war-time industries, the land
Seeking population will be legion in'
number, and people will - come fast

manufacturers will pay,1 ascertain the

for the establishment of local press
eriea (several " already : established,
one In fertile Washington county,
one at Newberg. and another close

and see what is in sight. Then take
it up with the. farmers close 1y, can
vass them carefully, and. under the
terms offered get enough acreage
planted to fulfill the immediate t$
qulrements. - It won't be necessary
to finance a cannery, or sell a lot of

things that have covered the Pacific
