The total 'number or cases pack ed by the four great canning plants In the city during the past l season aggregate the vast total of 4 8 5.9 $0 cases. - .Twelve years ago only 23.000 'cases of canned goods were pack ed in Salem. The increase has AJj total almost equals half a million V leases. , And with the canning of 485, 950 cases in Salem, there has been paid out during the past six months, a total of 1247,000 in pay roll alone. This is a conser- vative estimate. And for products paid out ac- 4 tually in Salem for fruits and ber ries delivered to the four packing t plants in the city, there has been . paid out. according to the pack- ers' own books, a grand total of $593,000. That is, growers in the trading vicinity ' of ; Salem, I have received during the past six months, a sum almost equal to $600,000 for their products can- ned by the four Salem plants. These figures, are for canning only, and do not include the large sums paid out by the Salem Kings . Food Products Co.. nor by the Aorthwest Fruit" Products com pany. The figures are banning figures only. ' The pack of loganberries in Sa- , lem alone is placed by the font ' ulants at 117.700 cases, on a con servative estimate, based on the '' books of the plants. EKU WU HE MM Those on the Farms Know What They Want and Make Their. Wants ' Known Nebraska farmers wives have issued a Bill of Personal Rights Rather it ia in the form of an ul timatum embracing six points, not 14 The platform on which they will stand Is the following: A Dower washing machine -for the house for every tractor bought for the farm. - i A bathtub in the house for every binder on the farm. Running; water in the kitchen for every riding plow for the fields. ' A kerosene cook stove for every automobile truck. ' A f Ireless ooker for every new mowing machine. Our share of the farm income. What the wife will demand as her share when her husband wants to buy that half-quarter ad- 1 joining on- the north probably is left to time and circumstance. At j any rate it will - be something commensurate with the expendi ture, If we may reason from the examples -iven. . In short, the . farmers' wives are going to have well equipped houses on the well equipped farms. J And why not? A labor saving device is as much . needed in the work a woman does ' as for what a.man performs. Why should a man have an easy time ' plowing or cultivating the corn while the wife rubs her washing on an old fashioned washboard? H is Justice merely, an equal di- -vision, that they seek. It may be not quite easy to install in the 1 farm house some of the most val uable ' labor saving . machinery, t but It can be done. There cer tainly Is no reason why. such 1 homes should not have running water in the kitchen, if the far- 1 mer has a riding plow, ,or a bath tub If the grain is cut with a I binder. The Nebraska women make a good case. Pittsburg Ga- m zette Times. " E It is Considered Important to Maintain the Nation's " Food Supply i.

Blackberries, which have de veloped as one of our great indus tries only in recent years, ranks second in the canning industry of the city, with 103,686 cases. The pack of canned prunes runs about the same as that of cherries. The actual figures show that 35, 300 cases of prunes were canned in Salem this past season. Pears rank' third in the num ber of cases packed, the aggre gate being 94,650 cases. Oregon strawberries, which grow more to the acre than any other state in the union, were packed in Salem with a total. ot 36.850 case's. The apple pack of tire four plants will run 58,000 for the 1921 season. The raspberry pack amounted to several hundred cases. The pack of tomatoes this year total ed 250 cases. Those who are familiar with the canning industry, call atten tion to the fact that although the enormous amount of almost 500,-. 000 causes of fruits and berries were packed In the city, the yo?.r 1921 was a . rather unfavorable one in many respects, especially in the shortage of the prunn crop. The same authority estimates that wltVn a very few years, or within two or three years, with favorable crops, the four canner ies in Salem will put out in ex cess of 1,000,000 cases of fruits and berries. gol darned rain right after an other all spring. The ground would.be right to work for Just about two days then soaked up and soggy for a week. The "boys" as Jason called the halt dozen veteran farm hands had filed the hoes to razor keen ness during the rainy days but still couldn't wield them fast enough to get over the patch-when the dry days gave them a chance to work against the weeds The trustworthy old . horses never moved so slowly it seemed to Jason as on the few bright days he could put a cultivator into the rows. Now it was going to rain again and he was so far behind the season that it seemed as though he couldn't catch up if a drouth should set in and last the rest of the summer : Jason had lived through other similar seasons, but this one af fected him dlffeerntly for after a fashion more than the value of an early crop, and of possible second crops was involved - Young John Williamson had left the paternal rooftree a year previous and settled on a nice level patch of garden ground, a few miles down the state road. The old man had wanted John 'to stay and live at the old home with his bride, and old Williamson had acres enough for them both to farm. This was agreeable up to the point of how the farming was to be done. i John wanted a lot of new things, a farm -lighting system, some new greennouses, . a ; more modern water plant, and some power farming equlpmemBt Father stood for the whole list till it came to power i farming tools. He held that the Biblical admonition that man shall earn his bread in the sweat of his brow meant hat hand tillage I was the only kind that a righteous farmer would countenance. Further he felt that these rapid modern meth ods were too hasty to be good and too easy to be worthy, "I'll die before I'll chase some snorting gas engine up and down the rows on this garden natch' declared the old man id his final nlMtattitn ! utviuaiu au a So John moved out. And his mother who regularly visited her children brought the bad news that John didn't have any barn yard it looked like a garage. Old Jason leaned on the fence till the rain began to fail heavily and then went wearily to the house. I That night he was taken sick. A little too much rain, worry, or hard work or all three hadj put him in bed to stay And the next day the sun shone and a nice breeze commenced dry ing things up. He could look out the window and it sure made him suffer to think that another day of fair 'weather would find him in bed when he should be out in the field.- But fever and pain nailed him to the old corn husk mattress and he could only, roll over and groan. - . . -j ' '! : A few days - later old! Jason weakened from what had seemed like a long nightmare. Te sun was shining, the birds were sing ing and it was -a fine day all over the . country. Jason lay there weakly and tried to think. . He wondered what shape the! work was in. Then he wondered how soon it would rain again., lie tried to 'get up. but couldn't. if ' . lie .heard voices in the kitchen. He heard another, and suspicious sound, like the popping of a mo-torcyclo- in the . distance. f Thin steps approaching, f I ? 1 v .-.''Well dad you're getting a good" rest for once in your lire,',!- sap John as he came into the rocin with his mother. j------f It's nothing to joke aout.

"You've been in bed only three days now. It rather feels like an other shower so don't begrudge yourself a rest because the sun is shining." "Oh my God," groaned Jason, "all I've raised this spring is a crop of weeds," and he turned over toward the wall. "You've had a nice healthy crop of 'em all right," said John, "but they're all harvested now. By night there won't be a foot of your truck patches that isn't clean of weeds and ripped up from one end to the other. If it rains you should worry." "What d'ye mean." said the old man and he sat up. Then mother thought it was time to interfere. "Lie down now and don't get excited," she said as she bent over the laboring figure on the bed. "The day you was took sick I sent .word to John and he came up. The next day be brought his automo bile cultivators and things up here and he's been at work here ever since. Now you mustn't be cross about it." "Do you mean that you've weeded and cultivated all that stuff in the last two days," asked 1 the old man. "It will be so by night," said John. "1 borrowed a couple of tractor cultivators besides what I own and brought along a couple of men who can run 'em. I'm afraid dad that you're going to have to buy one or two. Old Jer ry's been running a little one all day and he's as tickled as a kid with a new bicycle. You can raise twice as much and do it twice as often-. no doubt about it. Get on your hind legs as soon as you can and see for yourself. "If 8 a low down trick to play on a sick man," said old Jason as he lay back on the pillows. But he smiled and reached for lhs son's hand as he said it. WALNUTS DIE FIST Big Sacks of the Mistland Brand Being Sent to the Markets Every Day There is an interesting pro cess going on at the packing plant of the Oregon Growers' Co operative association. High and Trade streets, where the grading. sorting and packing of the bulk of the Oregon crop ot walnuts is being done something like 100 tons of them in all. M. P. Adams took In nearly a million pounds of loganberries at Brooks the past season for the association; then he received prunes for the dehydration plant of the King's Food Products com pany for the association. Now he has. charge of the walnut branch of the business of the as sociation. He also helped in the grading and' packing of the filberts; but they are all gone. They did : not have enough of JLhe filberts to satisfy the local demand. The Mistland Brand 'Mistland Grafted Oregon Wal- nuts" is the brand on the sacks that take the nuts to market, and "Oregon Growers' Co-operative Association Salem, Oregon,; and Weight 100 poundt net" appear Vrint iti :r ah )ii' iiio sacks. The next grade,, is "Mistland No. 1," and a third grade is "Fir land No. 2." i Nearly 40 "tons have already gone to market in these sacks, and more are going all the time All the nuts have not yet arrived at the plant. They are coming right along. They come in sacks, too, having been cleaned and dried i at the farms, mostly in prune dryers, and they are also kept separate as to variety. The first process at the pack ing plant is the grading, in a big new grading machine graded as to size. From the grader they are poured onto sorting tables, where women sort the nuts. The broken, discolored and otherwise defective nuts are sorted out If you buy "Mistland Grafted Oregon Walnuts" you may be sure a1 nm sottlnir tho hect walnut jwu .c irrown in me wunu, ueiier iu flavor even than the California nuts. No walnuts are wasted. The second and third grades and the culls are sold as such. Mr. Adams says the grafted Franquette walnuts grade better than" any other; more evenly, lie thinks they are the best walnuts grown In the world; that is, the grafted Franquette walnuts that are produced here In the Willam ette valley. There are other good walnuts grown here, too; splendid quality nuts, flavored fit for an epicure. Dutl no other variety grades like the grafted Franquette.

With the aid of science they are able to protect the family and the community from the danger of contagion, to make transportation safe, and to remove the traces of illness and unnaturalness which used to accentuate the grief caused by death. With the help of profesisonally trained assistants, modern equip ment, motorized conveyances, and a fine funeral chapel, they are able to relieve the family of "all details, and perform a service that brings comfort in the darkest hour and affords the consoling con sciousness that the last tribute has been fitting and beautiful. TO BESOM The Oregon Experts Will Be in the Field in the Next Few Days The experts ,of the Oregon Growers' Co-operative associa tion are getting ready to make a survey of the broccoli situa tion. It will not be very long now till arrangements will have to be made for marketing the crop, which will come on in Feb ruary and March; mostly. One grower up Independence way said yesterady that he feared the high water of the past few days, which ran over his broccoli field, had Injured his crop. One of the experts named told the re porter that be did not think any serious injury would result from the broccoli being under water for a short period. The association experts will soon get some idea of what kind of a crop of broccoli they are likely to have to handle how large and of what quality; but they could say little yesterady. As most people know, how ever, rainy weather does not hurt broccoli. The more rain the bet ter. The only danger is from too much or too severe I freezing weather, and it is generally be lieved that even such weather may be rendered of no injurious effect where the growers hill up their plants.
