THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON .TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMDER 20, 1921 Breed Discovered by Andrew i Vercler, Held Superior ! J to All; Others A new prune, which It li thought by many prominent grow ers will do much In future years ' to Insure a regular prune crop ii Oregon, was introduced to mem l":rs of the Salem Commercial clitb at the luncheon held I Mon ti. ty noon. It was Introduced as tie "New Oregon," and is a dis covery of Andrew Vercler .:(- In telling or the history of .the prime, Mr. Vercler said he dis- rt rered It In a fence comer in 1'.'13 in a petite 1 prune - orchard ai d that he was taclined : to , be lieve It Vas a cross between a petite and an Italian.-;: - He had .' noticed that the tree hrul an unusually fine crop. In :1314 the tree'was removed to the iVercler tract jiorth of fialera and ;has always been a heavy, bearer. , I.Iso, trees that had -been ' top grafted had proved to be heavy bearers, he said. ' i ' During-the rainy weather of once year - ago, the ; New Oregon 'prunes suffered but little from splitting, and this year, when oth er trees failed to. bear-fruit, rhis New Oregon prunes fertilized and the crop was big. ' Even when ;rown among 'Italians the "New Oregon never failed. 1 In an orch ard in Folk County, the JJew Or iregon ' produced a ' big crop while Italians In the same tract , failed . jto produce, ";;. j II.

Among those familiar with the Kew Oregon prune, Its fine Qual ities were summed up as follows: It will ; pollenlze in any kind of , weather; will-not- split in rainy weather as easily as Italians;, has 50 percent sugar and less, acid than the Italian ; blossoms a few days later than . the Italian and ripens a few , days earlier and; above all, is a regular producer.

In the latter case,, Mr.4 De Va lera states that he would confirm the Sinn Fein acceptance of the Invitation, and the Irish delegates f ould meet" government represen tatives. 5 ' VetvspapcTs Comment The nature of tho message from Mr. De Valera necessitates a fur ther exchange of ..telegrams, un less some port of an ultimatum H forthcoming. A Many Tondon papers have com mented "upon thr danger of the "open diplomacy" involved In this public exchange of messages, which, they point out, makes it difficult for either side to recede from the position .adopted. Paner friendly to the Irish Cause, like the Westminster Ga zette and the Manchester Guard ian, admit that the premier's last invitation to ,Mr. De Valera ,would be '.wise td ' accfept without more ado. They also advise him to "forgo the dangerous pleasure or waving the flag jofithe Irish re public so persistently in the face of Jhe premier." . , - s Sarprise Manifest Some surprise is expressed here that Mr, DeValera omits to call a full meetrng' of the Dall fcireann. wlth the possibility that this body ? light, authorize some brief form f letter accepting the premiers Invitation" wHKout attaching conditions.

Mexico Gets Immigration That Might Be Diverted to Willamette Valley If proper efforts were made to induce Mennonites of Canada to come to Oregon, many who are preparing to move to Mexico might be induced to come to the Willamette valley. This is the opinion of V. C. Wedel. president of the Deacon hess hospital association, who is in close touch with many Men nonites in Canada. Many Mennonites in Canada have become dissatisfied end to the number of 116, 00U are look ing for some place to go in larg numbers. They had, a few months ago, offers from Georgia, Texas and Mexico. Inducements made by Mesico were most favorable, whore the Mennonites were olfered 21.", 000 acres of land, of which 40 per cent was already in irrigation. They were also offered freedom from military duty as 5 special Inducement Mr. Wedel said. Efforts are also being friade to help many Mennonites who live in Southern Russia to escape and come to this country or Mexico. Mr. Wedel said. This Southern Russia is the country in which Mr. Wedel spent his youth and which he left 17 years ago. "There are no Mennonite famn lies leaving the Willamette valley for Mexico," Mr. Wedel said, "but a few have returned to Canada. If we could get some co-operation from the state, I believe many families would come from Canada to Oregon. 7 mechanic. McEiroy claims to be a dt-tective.

The defense hiswl Its rase that McElroy was not entitled to tho money on lue iaot that he had on two occasions wrecked the car and on the contention "that thr plaintiff had used the car for per sonal use.

"In the first place, there is no iirm making standard uniforms in (his city, and secondly, there was not one of the local firms who could furnish us with the 20 ounce doe-skin cloth specified for police uniforms. This is no reflection upon the tailoring resources of the city, but was an unusual call for an article not often in demand. "There is just one large firm in the United States that makes a V-pec-ialty of police uniforms and that is the Singer uniform people, of Chicago. Tuiley, of Portland, is their exclusive Oregon repre sentative and this accounts for our placing our order for the union-made garments with him when a similar value could not be secured locally."

GENEVA, Sept. 19. The com mittee on disarmament of the league of nations council in its report isued today finds that the Washington conference can, bet ter deal with the question of naval disarmament than the league and that it can be more efefctively se cured by common agreement among the great powers. Discussion by the commission thus far is in line with this con clusion, involving a slow but sure policy. With regard to land arm amenta also it appears that the same policy has the upper hand. "Mankind is still too Tar re moved from the ideals of peace to make possible at present the so lution of the question of disarma ment," Is the final conclusion of the commission. Replies to the assembly's re quest that the governments limit expenditures for armaments to two years to the amount of this year's budget are quoted in sup port of the commission's' conten tion. Of the 27 replies received 17 were classed as favorable, seven as unfavorable, and three as vague. Absence of, the United States, Germany and Russia from the league constitutes a great obsta cle. In the opinion of the commfs bion which adds that the differ ences of opinion arise from the policies of the different countries, varying circumstances and chang ing conditions.
