. THE OREOOX BTATESMAlf : SUXPAY, MAY 2, 1020. CROP CONDITION IS ENCOURAGING Weather Bureau Generally Comments Favorable on Oregon Prospect The situation of farm crops in Marion county, as well as Oregon at large, as repotted by the weather bureau Is. in the main, encouraging. Speaking of the outlook for fruit the report says: "Bloom continues to advance Slow ly. Apple blossoms are showing In the milder sections. Pears are In full bloom in Jackjson county. Some damage was done to pears, peaches, prunes and early strawberries by front in the southern counties. - Lo ganberry plants are being shipped from Marion county in large quan tities.. Spraying for scab is proceed ing rapidly since the rains seased. The last four days were ideal for pollnatlon. , Garden planting is being held back by cold and nnseaiurfiable weather. However, the report says: "The mild, dry weather near the close of the week made gardening possible generally, but planting of garden vegetables and potatoes has been unusually backward, and the growth has been slow. Some early gardens were damaged by frost in southern counties." Farm work is being retarded by adverse weather conditions, the re Port states that farmers are behind with their work and vegetation Is unusually backward, hence the dry, warm weather was very welcome. Where winter wheat was not winter-killed, it is doing well, though cutworms are doing some damage in Umatilla county. The warm weather at the close of the week dried the soil and facilitated the seeding of bpring wheat and oats, and hastened the germination of these crops where already seeded. In some pi the more elevated districts spring seeding is just beginning. In the western counties grass la generally good and meadows are fairly good, though backward; In eastern counties the cold weather has seriously retarded the growth of grass and hay crops. Most of the range stock has been turned out, but in many cases shortage of hay has resulted in stock being turned out too soon. Grass Is insufficient in many places, and the wet ground Is mm mm The 10 Days Sale Now on at Salem Variety Store, 152 North Commercial Street The big oppor tunity for money saving of the season JAfia sen?

V S Salem is bound to grow aa the fruit marketing and manufacturing and manufacturing center of Oregon. S A gink rrum cnicago, wbo came through from California In an auto, was regaling a hotel crowd In Salem yesterday in abusing the paved road people of Oregon for not providing better ways around the places where they are doing new work. It this gink will go over the roads again this fall he will find a paved highway from Portland to the Mexi can line. W And he should get the information from some one, before he grows too .eloquent in his cussing out diatribes, that Oregon has the best paved road law- and system in the United States; one designed to last for all time; to build new roads every year and keep the -old ones in repair and all with out a cent of direct tax. S Have you bought any shares of the local building and loan association? That is the way to build all the new homes needed in Salem, and at the came time pay a good return on the money paH in for the shares. And that is-the only way.

FORD PARTS Minister Transferred Qninaby to RickreaU QUINABY. Or.. April 19. At the recent conference of the Evangelical churches In Corvallls, the Rev. J. I Barns was transferred from Quinaby to Rickreall. and left thia week with his family to assume his new pastor ate. Mr. Burns has been the resi dent pastor for the past two years, daring: which time both the minister and his wife have endeared them selves to the community. Edward Matthes. Jr.. has returned from a two weeks trip to Eocene. Springfield and Junction City. The three warm days during the early part of the week brought the orchards into full bloom In this vi cinity and caused many flowera to appear upon the strawberries, which promise fairly well considering the cold winter. Sis Ella MeMunn who underwent an operation upon an eyelid a couple of weeks ago has entirely recovered the use of that Important organ. The- Influenza epidemic which swept this section seems to have abated with the advent of spring. Many loganberry patches are be ing set out. among the new ones be ing that of Ivan Shafer and another by Arthur Glrod and sons. Mr. Girod Is also putting extensive acreage Into strawberries. This, with his large prune orchard, will make Mr. Glrod an extensive grower of diversified fruits. The forthcoming grape edition of The Statesman Is eagerly anticipated by resident or thia section, where the grape has been grown successful ly for many years. When prohibition went Into effect but few vineyards were dug up as the grape juice demand and that for Jelly making ha tak en all available, and as this seems to be the one fruit entirely Immune from inect pests, delicious to the palate, easy to grow and containing many medicinal virtues, practically every home has a few vines, and it Is not Improbable that raisin making will in time become a feature or the industry. Oregon has practically a monopoly or dryers of various sorts, while California depends upon the sun to cure this and other fruits, leaving the trays laden with the grapes out in the open, where the sand blows upon them, as everybody knows who has tried to eat unwashed raisins, and occasionally rain catch es them and a small fortune la lost Next to walnuts, it Is oerhapa the slowest crop to come into bearing.
