Possibly the Poultry . Indus
try Is Blind to Its Great
'l El; U .Opportunities
Since the Pacific coast Is ex
, plotting the London market for
the sale of some of Its hen fruit it
will be interesting to learn of the
annual consumption of eggs by the
t population of Greater London.
That it Is an enormous Quantity is
shown by Edward Brown in a re
it cent issue of the Feathered World,
"where he says "that the average
consumption of eggs In Great Brlt
m ain, inclusive of Imported, Irish
and home produced, in 1913-waa
4 120 per head of the population,
and that in 1920 the average was
03 eggs per unit, though it is
probable London was a little above
the rest of the country. Taking it
as stated, and on the 1921 popu
lation, the consumption In 1913
' -would be 897,000,000 of eggs need
in Greater London, and in 1920,
" f 95,000,000, a decline of 202,
000.000, or about 13,450 tons.
"'These figures show that in 1913
the average -weekly consumption
was 2.3 eggs per unit in London,
and in 1920 1.78 eggs. If the con.
' sumption of eggs is Greater Lon
don were advanced to three per
onit per week thete would be
needed-1,168, 000,000 of egg or
4 471.000,000 more than in 1020.
entailing an increase of il.fiO
tons. Every egg per week beyond
turee would demand an additional
w supply for Greater London of
388,000,000, or nearly 26,000
t tons. Such, calculations can be
, carried to any'length, If Cana-
dlans eat, as they are Bald to do,
and as was the case in Paris before
the war, an average of four eggs
weekly, that should notbe Is ex
4 cess of the London appetite or
needs. It Is mainly a question of
production. To raise the supply as
, In 1920 to four eggs per week per
unit of population in Greater Lon
don would require 12,701,090
more hens, each averaglug M0
esgs per annum." All of which is
4 interesting from the fact that the
consumption of poultry - products
, is after all a somewhat negligent
quantity, not only in London,, but
t by peoples generally. It Is doubt
ful if the consumption in Oregon
.wjil average four eggs per capita
of population per week. Possibly
the poultry industry is blind to its
i Importance and opportunities.

Had Large Experience
Mr Rartnn . la a frariiiAtA of
Syracuse university, with a d&
rr of electrical engineer ' He
spent six years after his gradua
tion in 1907. with the General
Electric company. In various ca-
- pacities. He was in cnarge or
tha testinr of the. first 20.000 k.
w. turbine generator buijt tor
u h Now-York car lines: it was
then the largest of its kind In the
m world, though larger ones bare
been built since.. He was in
rliirm at the electrical testine Of
the first horizontal steam turolne
ever built. Later, he spent part
of a year, with .tne teams (K..i
rnal tr. iron comnanr nower ser-
vice, with three large planta in
his care." For a year he was en-
gineer In charge or the New YorK
. s, rtnoona Urht and Power com
pany, with a large force of elec-
trlcal and other .engineers under
him. and he was the final anthor-
ity in estimating and passing on
11 InatallatlonB: one of which was
a. railroad, and another the build
in of a subway service. . He test-
v ed out the original electric arc
service for the lighting service in
. TVirtland. V
In 1913, he came lo Salem, and
has been In business continuous-
Masonic building since 1914,
Is an Authority
Mr Barton is a decorator and
an authority on electrical' instal
lation and service. "In the mod-
rn home, the electric lighting is
one of the chief, sometimes the
- only, real decorative effect,"
his interesting comment. , "The
tlxturea ' should harmonise with
the bouse, and one -could spoil
the effect of the finest home by
ill-chosen lighting equipment. I
have sold installations as far east
a New York from ' our Salem
store, to people who appreciate
an artistic and scientific lighting
system: and they have gone well
over Oregon." Mr. Barton is an
artist in decorating, his painting
and designing of fixtures being
a delight in many a home. One

beautifully designed globes, glass
-harieii nd other fixtures in the
Salem Electric windows, to real-

Ilrautirul Inspirations
Day and night, work day and
holiday and Sunday, the Salem
Electric windows 'have t appealed
delightfully to every 'passer-by, as
the exponent" of cleaner,' easier,
more enjoyable ' housekeeping.
There are no statistics .to prove it.
but it would be a fair guess that
., hundreds of the girls and , boys
from the high school and the uni
versity, on their way-down town
after finishing, their ; day's- stud-
ies which include friendships and
futures, as well as books, have
f gathered the final inspiration for
' the home that endures.; through
the delightful presentation of
The Home Electrical" in these
windows.
"Maybe nobody knows exactly
what electricity is, or what makes
it go," says Mr. Barton, frankly,
in talking of the mysterious juice
that has worked such wonders in
business and domestic life. "But
no more, , perhaps, do we know
how life comes to the horse that
we drive; no man can reconstruct
horse life from inert material.
But we. have learned how to har
ness it, how to drive it, how to
doctor it, how to enjoy it. And
that's enough to know."
OF BROCCOLI
IS LOOKING FINE
If All Goes Well In Next
Eight to Ten Weeks, a
Fine Crop Expected
A rrower from tiown near Don
ald was in The Statesman office I
a couple of days ago who reported
that he has five acres of broccoli
that gives every appearance now
of nroducing a bumper crop. He
was looking up the matter of find-;
ing a market In case all goes we.i
with his broccoli from wis time
on.
Another grower with five acres
of broccoli, over Newberg way, re
ports the same excellent prospects
for a big yield.
The same reports came from up
around Independence, and from
several other parts of the Salem
district. . i
Survey Next Week
The field ! men of the Oregon
Growers Cooperative association
are still too busy with the apple
crop to give any time to the broc
coli acreage; but they will start
over the field next week, to make
a complete survey, so as to form
an idea as to what the association
will have to handle; how much
and where.. They will endeavor to
load the cars of broccoli at the
most convenient points for the
growers in each locality. The
great bulk of the crop will have
to go in. car lots, to the markets
of the big eastern cities.
For Members Only
The Oregon Growers Coopera
tive association will be able to
handle only the broccoli of their
members, or those who may be
come members. Their association
Is purely cooperative, and they
would not be allowed, ainder the
laws of this state, to find markets
for people outside of their mem
bership. However, they are offer
ing to broccoli growers who ae
not yet members of their associa
tion a very liberal proposition to
become members, on the acreage
basis, and when they become mem
bers they are entitled to partici
pate in any other pool of produce
which they handle.
The broccoli will be handled in
a pool, just like prunes or logan
berries or any other crop of their
membes.
Prices May Not Be High
' It is too early to make reliable
estimates, but it is possible that
the returns to the growers of
broccoli may not be as good as for
the last crop, on account of the
fact that consumers in the eastern
cities are not as liberal In .their
buying generally as they wera a
while ago. But the United States-
department of agriculture will co
operate with the shippers of broc
coli in handling the coming crop,
and it will no doubt be gotten to
market in better shape than here
tofore, and, of course, the beet
possible returns will be secured
for the producers; and the mar
kets may be aacn as to get them
as good pices as were had for the
1921 crop.
The Market is Getting Bet
ter Now, and the Stocks
' Are Cleaning Up
(Following is a news bulletin
of current date by the Oregon
Growers Cooperative association:)
- The prune market, which has
been quiet for several weeks, of
fers a very promising outlook at
the present time. Reports com
ing from the east Indicate that
buyers are breaking away from
hand-to-mouth buying and are be
ginning to take prunes in larger
quantities. .
i In California practically all of
the large - sized prunes have been
sold and almost no prunes larger
than 50-60s are In the hands" of
the California growers. As a con
sequence Oregon holds nearly all
of the large-sized prunes which
remain unsold .
' AH of the Italian prunes small.
er than .3 0-4 0s which were in the
hands of the Oregon Growers' as
sociation have been cleaned up
and it Is expected that there will
be an early clean-up of the stock
on hand. ; - , :
, Heavy shipments have been
made from the association's stock.
The manager of one of the larg
est of. the association's prune
packing plants ' announces that . a
three day's run will finish packing
all of the prunes in his district,
and the work is progressing rap
idly in all sections of the prune

HIGH PRICES Pi
FOR THE WI1ERS
Blue Blooded Poultry Brings
Fancy Figures at Dairy
Show in England h
There can be no question that
a well-regulated poultry show not
only stimulates sales, but that it
also stiffens prices. At the re
cent dairy show n England (sec
ond only to the Crystal Palace
bhow in London) the following
approximate prices were realized
for the winning specimens: The
winning White Wyandotte breed
ing pen is claimed for $300. The
selling class light Sussex cockerel
went to $105. Among the open
classes the leading light Sussex
cockerel went at $225; the Gold
en Camplne cockerel, $55; White
Wyandotte $75; Rhode Island
pullet $75. The selling classes
provided some bargains. The
winning Rock cockerel reached
$40 and the second Rock pullet
$35; the White Wyandotte first,
$50; second, $35; the third, $25.
Among the Orpingtons, the sec
ond buff pullet made $57.50;
others $50, $30, $25. The third
light Sussex cockerel went at
$37.50; others at $30 and $25
eaeh. The medal-winning turkey
reached $52.50, and the Modern
Game Bantam, $65.
Considering economic condi
tions prevailing since the war, it
must be said that the poultry
fancy and commercial poultry
breeding are getting back to nor
mal: These prices average very
well with those usually in evi
dence at the New York. Boston
and Chicago, and other big Amer
ican poultry shows, for the blue
ribbon birds.
SAYS VEGETABLE
I
Their Business Is a Live Bus
iness, and They Are Keep
ing Up to Date
"The vegetable business is a
live business and has kept pro
gress with the times," says H. T.
Thompson, widely known eastern
vegetable man writing in the
"Market Growers' Journal." Any
large markets of the country will
show fancy products, well graded
and packed and well sold. Look
over the equipment of the farm
for growing vegetables and you
will see progresii modern seed
drills, modern Irrigation equip
ment, intelligent use of manure
and commercial fertilizers, a mod
ern propagating greenhouse for
plants or a larger . range for
growing a fall, winter and early
spring garden under glass
"The gardder, as a matter of
fact, is thrown into daily contact
with city business and city mar
kets, more so than any other
kind of farmers who perhaps on
ly come in touch with the markets
once in a great while, and there
fore sense market conditions and
partly regulate Ma operations ac
cordingly because of this frequent
contact.
"The gardener, through the
aid of experiment stations, has
made progress in controlling in
jurious insects, keeping in touch
with the 'bug specialist' and fol
lowing his methods. The farmer
now better appreciates what this
means in . economical production
and also what is the cost of neg
lect. "Hundreds of vegetable gard
eners have made progress in mar
keting their crop by better grad
ing, more modern methods of har
vesting and packing and by the
use of motor vehicles.
"These conditions of progress
tell the world that the market
grower is at the front. The vege
table business is a live business."

ADVERTISE YOUR
There Are Many Ways tq
Appeal to the Public
Taste and Appreciation
There are those who assume
that a publicity campaign exploit
ing the wider use of poultry prod-:
ucts in the human dietary means
the expenditure of a considerable
sum of money. If such an effort is
to be conducted like the advertis
ing campaigns for cereal breakfast
foods and other proprietary arti
cles, and the orange and raisin
and almond and walnut and apple
and other crops, more or less
money is involved in the proposi
tion; but choking cats to death
with warm butter is not the only
way of destroying felines.
An enterprising poultry Breeder
uses the slogan "Eat More Eggs
Drink More- Milk Be More
Healthy," on all his stationery,
catalogues, egg case labels, etc.
This is certainly inexpensive and
at the same time more or less ef
fective. Breeders might even gfi
further and Issue four and eight
page leaflets for envelope fillers
extolling the nutritive value of
eggs and poultry meat as human
food. Create a wider market and
production and prices will take
care of themselves. One is some
what surprised that the organized
poultry industry does not take col
lective action along these lines.
Prisoners' Teeth Are
Beveled Free of Cost
There is one advantage of serv
ing a term in the Oiegon peni
tentiary, and that is of having
dental work done . occasionally
without charge
This happens to come about
from the fact that in taking ex
aminations before the state den
tal board, prospective dentists
have a certain amount of practi
cal work to do.
It also happens that many in
the penitentiary are more than
willing to serve as subjects for
the work of students about to be
graduated. Yesterday 12 pros
pective dentists were doing the
practical work, having passed the
exams for the theoretical work.

FORT IS RAZED
War Munitions Are Destroy
ed by Allies, Harbor
Bed Blocaded
LONDON, Nov. 26. The great
German fortress of Heligoland
probably will be completely de
molished by next April. Its de
molition has been in progress for
two years under the supervision
of an inter-allied commission
headed by Admiral Sir Edward
Charlton, who is said to be sat
isfied that the island fortress ean
never again be a menace to the
allies.
' When the work of destruction
Is complete 'iE'wiir be Inspected by
the commission and then the is
land is to be handed back to
Germany, under the provisions of
the peace treaty.
Ths commission have taken
nothing for granted, but naval
officers have watched the great
guns cut to pieces and have de
manded that the scrap metal be
produced when the Germans re
ported that they had destroyed
cartridges, cases, fuses, etc. Be
sides, they have personally in
spected the burning of vost store3
of explosives. It is understood
that Admiral Charlton is satis
fied that very little in the way of
warlike stores can have been con
cealed by the Germans.
The gun emplacements and
harbor works have been destroyed
and batteries of howitzers and
aircraft guns demolished.
To .make certain that Heligo
land can not again be utilized as
a site upon which to build a har
bor for warships, the commis
sion has placed blocks of stone
and concrete about the bed of the
harbor so that dredging will not
be possible. Eventually it is be
lieved the harbor will be destroy
ed by the sea.
