THE GREAT PIE BERRY OF COMMERCE
LOOMS BIO HERE
Evergreen
Salem is the center of the great and
blackberry industry
Growing; it has increased 400 per cent in Oregon in a year,
and Marion county has over half the acreage of this state, and
Polk is second, Yamhill third, and Linn fourth
So the Salem district has nearly all the Evergreen black
berries in Oregon. " !
This is a distinetionat means more than mere words of
comparative bigness
It means wealth for our farmers and growth for our factories
and our city ' . -
The demand has become great, and the supply promises to
'tax the resources- of man, woman and child power in picking
the Evergreen blackberries of the Salem district in the future
perhaps even during the next harvest season.
The canneries ean take a great tonnage of these berries, and
the cold pack or barrel trade can use train loads of them; and
in both forms they are wanted in the centers of population to
satisfy the great American appetite for pie
. And o there looms the prospect of pie plutocrats pandering
to the plebeian palate of the four million, to say nothing of , the
natrician preference of the four hundred.
The United States Department of Agriculture, in Farmers'
Bulletin 643, has the following:
"EVERGREEN (Black Diamond. Star, Wonder, Ewing
Wonder, Everbearing, Atlantic Dewberry) Origin unknown.
but grown m Europe since 1 WW. liemes large, iirm, sweet,
quality very good, seeds large. Season late to very late and
iong. Bush vigorous, tender, productive, deep rooted and
drought resistant ; eanes semitrailing, perennial in some sections,
but they should always be trained as though they were biennial
, like other varieties; root at tips. One of the best varieties in
Oregon and Washington, but not generally adaptedlo the
States east of the Roeky Mountains, because the fruit is small
rnd worthless except in New Jersey, where it is grown consid
erably with Ruccess. Planting distances, 16 to 24 by 8 feet in
Oregon and Washington, according to conditions. This variety
.is found growing wild in Oregon and Washington."
There you have it
The Evergreen blackberry is an Oregon and Washington
berry ; and this means that it is a western Oregon and W ashing
ton berry ' - J
And the Salem district having attained the premiership will
keep it and it will go in ever increasing volume in cans and
barrels fo'the great pie centers, and in jams and jellies to an
narts of the world. i
The great future of the Evergreen blackberry lies in its
great production . to the acre and its economy of cultivation,
enabling growers and dealers and factories to put it onto the
markets at reasonable prices.
But some j'ears, it may be a bonanza crop.
Knight Pearcy last year told of the production of eight tons
to the acre of Evergreen blackberries and they sold last year
at 8 cents a pound, which would make $1280 ah acre, with f20
an acre for the picking, leaving net $960 an acre.
That is surely a bonanza crop.
And there have been bonanza profits the past few years in
gathering and selling the berries from the vines growing wild.
The big future, however, is for the cultivated crop, and it is
evident that all small fruit growers of this section will find it
profitable to use Evergreen blackberries as a link in the chain
of diversified agriculture.

Camp Dodge To Be Turned
Into Home For Disabled
Editor Statesman: -
A mother in the highest and
fullest meaning of the word is the
divine essence of the home with
out whose guiding hand home is
really not home, but simply a
place to eat and sleep and seek
shelter from the elements. It is
to the mother the children instinc
uveijncome ior comiort. sympa
thy,' understanding and advice,
and so it is also to mother the
world must look for the men and
women of the future.
It is not only her mission to
bear but her duty and God-given
privilege to rear them and so min
ister to their needs of spirit, mind
and body that they may take their
place in life, filled with higher
ideals, nobler purposes, and the
mental and moral strength to car
ry them out.
Every thinking person will ad
mit that home life and mother in
fluence are by far the most im
portant factors in the making or
spoiling of child character, in the
end affecting the character of the
world at large.
It is therefore but just to the
child of today, who will be the
father or mother of tomorrow
that no stone be unturned that
the children of today shall not be
held back by physical or moral
unfitness. Children are not al
ways wrong doers because of natu
ral depravity. Investigation may
show unwholesome conditions and
influences over which thev have
no control, directly responsible for
many offieir offenses.
Mothers too often are lacking in
sympathy for their children and
many a wayward boy or girl might
have bad a different story to tell
had mother but taken the time or
had the inclination to provide In
telligent, sympathetic care.

And more coming.' Some peo
ple phoned from the country who
are bringing in articles. A num
ber phoned from all over Salem.
Also, lists of deserving poor
were sent in, and more are com
ing. So there will not be too
much; especially since these sup
plies for needy families will con
tinue to be received for some
weeks.
S
That particular warehouse will
not be needed till the next car of
paper come in; so it may be
used for two or three more weeks.
There will bs no charge. There
will be no overhead whatever. Ev
ery cent and every article will go
to the needy families. Nothing
will be paid for services; nothing
evan for gasoline in collecting and
delivering.

The people ot Salem are wel
come to use this service for. tha
relief of their families in need,
no' matter how much may be con
tributed. u

And the need will extend be
yond Christmas,; too. It would
be a poor kind of help to give a
n.l?dy family a fine Christmas
dinnerand then lt them go hun
gry the nest day and the days fol
lowing. The way the lower house of
congress rams through emergency
protective tariff, measures is a
good omen. Present efforts may
fail, through a bull-headed senate
or a free trade president; but
there will be a different bunch
on guard in a little over, three
months.

VASHIXGTO.Dec. 22 Wil
liam J. Bryan, who visited President-elect
Harding at Marion re
cently, held a lengthy conference
today with Senator Borah of
Idaho, a leader among Republican
opponents of the league of na
tions. The purpose of Mr. Bryan's
visit here, it was stated reliably,
was to discuss possibilities of se
curing an agreement or reaching
some common ground n the
movement toward a concert for
maintenance of world peace. Front
what could be learned of his con
ference with Senator Borah, it
was said that the views of Mr.
Bryan and the Idaho senator both
were unchanged. It vas indicat
ed that Senator Borah remained
tmpiacaDiy toward any arrange
ment involving any international
alliances. t
Significance wasr given Mr.
Bryan's call upon Senator Borah
because of the former's very re
cent talk with Senator Harding
and the former cabinet premier's
expressions, after his Marion
visit, of hopefulness for a solu
tion of, the world peace problem
