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

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.

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.
