This ex penditure probably will be the largest incurred by finy pack ing company in Oregon this year, and will make the Salem plant one of the largest pack ing houses on the Pacific Coast. It was the intention of the company last year to greatly enlarge the Salem plant, but the uncertainties of the busi ness outlook throughout the country, and the fact that with few exceptions crops in the Willamette valley were in no danger of being uncared for caused the company to defer action. This year, how ever, business conditions throughout the country are more stable, and the indica tions are that crops in the Willamette valley, from which the company draws most of its green product, will be tre mendous. In fact, it is this latter fact that hastened the decision of the directors to adopt the suggestion of Pres ident Clark that building op erations be begun at once. OO.fMM) Square Feet More The plans for the enlarging or the already immense p-.ani of the King's Food Products company will provide nearly ninety thous and square feet of additional manufacturing space. The dehy drating "tunnels" will have a capacity of one hundred and four carloads at one time, and will increase the da'ly gTeon tonnage capacity to one hundred and twenty ions, a volume which will mean a greaT increase to the pay roll of Salem and a considerable distribution to lh growers of the Willamette valley. Many Groat Advantage The further development ot the King's Food Products com pany has even greater signifi cance than is indicated by t he announcement of the enlarging of the plant, important as that fact may he to Salem and to the Willametta valley R?nerally. It will mean the stabilization of the market for Oregon grown fruits and vegetables; it will en able the grower to anticipate hi3 market in advance and w'll per mit him to plant such additional acreage as he can in those fruits and vegeiablrs as come with n the range of manufacture ol the company. f Salem Second Frcrnio The importance of the King label to the prosperity or Salem and the Willamette valley never was so manifest as today. Coop eration of all concerned will make Salem a second Fresno, and will insure for the city for years to come the deserved appellation Seamless Hot Water Bottles and Combination Syringes Guaranteed Not To Leak Prices from $1 up Brewer Drug Co. 40 Court St ' Hi one 114, , I of "The dehydration capital of President Clark feels that un less his company is prepared tr pack a greatly increased quanti ty of fruits and vegetables th s season, that the growers of this region will suffer 'heavy finan cial losses. In a statement a few days ago, when he was in Salem, Mr. Clark said: "The King's Fruit Products company has endeavored to serve a double purpose in this com munity. We4 have builded our business on lines somewhat -d li ferent trom those usually attri buted lo large corporations, though I think many of the great industries of the country are unfairly judged by an un thinking' publ.c. However thai may be, the King's Food Products company, while organized for profit, and while it is making a very fair return upon its invest ment, is not build ng for' today alone, but for the years to come. . Stabilizing Traduction "When I took over the man agement of the corporation 1 made a survey of the situation. That survey included every phase of production from the ripened fruTts or vegetables in the field, to the finished product and the building up of our markets for dehydrated food products. I dis covered that the .rowers gener ally were more or less uncertain of their market; there was a lack of stability which was not only detrimental to the peace of mini to tha grower, but to the packer as well. Se, as packers, could ever be assured of a permanen cy of crops. We might spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, building up our markets, only to find that the next season certain crops were of an inferior quality because the grower was not certain of his market and neglected to cultivate, prune, fertilize and' do other things necessary to the production of first class fruits and vegetables, such as the King's Food Products company would require. Working With the Grower "So I set about establishing our company with the farmer and the fruit grower. We began pay ing cash for those products we bought, we encouraged the plani ng and cultivation of certain crops; we treated the growers of the Willamette valley as they never had been treated before; we even bought and dehydrated crops at a loss to sustain this principle of relationship with the gTower. It was only last year that we saved the farmers of one section from a serious financial loss by dehydrating -a product we had never processed before; it cost us money at least we made no profit through the effort. Abnormal Crops KxHrtefl "This year conditions indicate abnormal crops in the Willam ette valley, and so that the grow ers would have " a market for their lafce crops, and again that we might bend greater efforts to the expansion of our markets and trade territory, 1 revived my plan of last year to enlarge the Sa lem plant and got my board of directors to approve the plan. "Dehydration Capital of America" "Our effort for several years has been to make Halem 'the de hydration capital of America.' We want to build somewhat in advance of our markets. That may sound queer to some, but there is a psychology In our plan which I know will have a bene ficfal effect to our business and to the development of the Wil lamette valley. It ts this: If a manufacturer knows his market is understocked he does not have to make "a great, effort to move his goods, but If he knows that his supply of manufactured pro ducts is greater than his estab lished market can absorb, be must make greater effoits to sell his surplus, and this effort re sults in enlarging his selling field. Every employe, especially in the selling end of the organi sation, must exert himself to the limit or the company will suffer financial losses. Will fin. Srio lln.U. t Th9 King's Food ' Products company does not propose to suf fer any financial losses i We propose to go after business as we never have before, and. we propose to make a legitimate profit for our stockholders; hence in making a profit for our stock holders we are helping to build up Oregon's payroll account; we are helping the fruit raiser and the vegetable farmer, and we are providing for growers an estab lished market for their products. Best IXnluct of "World "The excellence of King's de hydrated fruits and, -vegetables, and tht'tr siupelorfty over tW? Mmilar products of other Ameri can and European dehydrators, now almost universally recog nized, has created for the com pany a condition in the markets of the country which we have been forced to meet And a Cannery Too "The now universally recog nized excellence of King's dehy drated fruits and vegetables has created a general demand on the part of wholesale distributors throughout the country for a line of canned goods of .the same ex cellence as our dehydrated goods. To supply this demand and to conform with its policy of build ing a national market for food products manufactured and dis tributed under the King label the company is adding to its de hydrating plant a complete can ning unIL This section of the plant will be as modern as science and engineering skill can make it. and tho canned product is expect ed to make for the company and the King's label a large army of friends among the consumers as well as among the wholesale dis tributors." E ABOUT THE OF The Advice of the Missouri College of Agriculture on This Subject (The Pep and Progress pages of The Statesman have lately con tained a number of articles con cerning that subject that is very important at the present time, and all the time the care of baby chicks. It is especially important now in the Salem district, because the poultry industry here is on a boom, a very fortunate thing for this district, and a great many people who have heretofore paid little or no attention to poultry are taking this industry up earn estly. The Missouri College of Agriculture has just published a news bulletin on the care of baby chicks, which is added to the in formation heretofore given in these columns on the subject. It follows: ) At the present time under or dinary farm conditions the colony system of brooding chicks U pre ferable. The temperature should be about 100 degrees Farenheit when the chicks are placed in the brooder, and then gradually de creased to suit the need of the chicks. If ample room is supplied the chicks will regulate their heat by either crowding closer to the stove or moving away. An abundant supply of clean. fresh water should be kept before the chicks at all times in some form of suitabls drinking foun tains. Do not put the water in an open vessel, such as a saucer, or the chicks will get into it and become wet and chilled. Feeding is a very important fac tor in chick raising. Do not feed tb.3 chick until it is 50 hours old or older as the yolk is taken into the chick's body just before It ts hatched and so ample food is pre sent for some. time. The first feed should b3 composed of a few grains of clean sand or fine chick grit, fed In a flat Dan or spread on a cardboard. This should be followed with a feed of rolled oats and bread crumbs, and for the first few days of" the chick's life they should" be gien CARE Way MmBtt Wtta twrth wUm Okmynctto VQ MIG OUTLOOK The Trade in the Eat Opti mistic in Regard to De mand for Coming Pack The canners of Oregon are be ginning to feel out the trad9 in the east, as to prospective 'de mand and prices for the coming pack. There are no definite figures available now, but the outlook is fair to good, and the prices that the canners are offered for the coming pack, on contracts made now, are about on a par with the prices they received for their packs of last year. On account: of the lower cost ot cans and cases -and most other things entering into the totals making up the charges for can ning fruits, it is likely that the growers will receive higher prices than they realized last year, for most of their products. That is, the canners will be In po sition to pay them higher prices, on the supposition that they them jelves made profits on their oper ations of last season. It is said that there has been no actual buying yet. on contract, but the feelers indicate tha't the Canners could have actual con tracts from the trade, if they were ready to make them. To Eum up the present situa :ion. it may be said that the out look for demand and fair prices for the fruits of this section, the coming season, is now good, with one or two possible exceptions. LOTS now UK The Roseburg District Will Now Be In the Thick of the Harvest Time Ab reported in The Statesman of lat, Thursday. Ihe sending of broccoli from the Roseburg dis trict in express shipments has been going on for several days. The first car supplied by mem bers of the Oregon Growers Co operative association from that district will roll out on Saturday, and from that time on there rill be several cars a lay from that section, fcoing to the eastern mar kets. Other shippers from t'.iat dis trict have already started car lots to market. Rainy weather is mak ing the task of harvesting the crop in the Umpqua valley diffi cult, but the crop is coming on so rapidly that the growers are forced to stay In the field3 re gardless of the weather. One authority puts the Umpqua valley crop for this year at 125 carloads, which would make this the largest crop on record for that district. The same authority says the damage from frost and cold is expected to be less than was rirst estimated. Looking Over the Field Fieldjnen of the Oregon Grow- y - three or four feeds of rolled oats and one feed of hard boiled eggs. The roiled oats should gradually ba replaced with some form of grain mixture, either corn meal or chick food or any form of fine grain mixture. A dry mash com posed of equal weights of bran, cornmeal and shorts should be added to the ration at the end of the first week. This mash should be fed sparingly at first and then gradually increased. Feed little and often, and feed all the feed in a dry form. Milk is an excellent feed for chicks add, they should be fed abundant supply of it at all times It prevents many intestinal dis eases, supplies vi tannines and also Is-a good source of protein. which la necessary In chick rations.

One report says the con dition is "spotted," and that even yet there Is no way of giving any thing like close estimate of the probable total output from the Willamette valley district. Radio Telephone Will Be Installed at Spa The first radio telephone re ceiving station to be installed In a public place in Salem will be Installed shortly by Frank Myera at the Spa. The Spa's equipment, which will take the place ot the present phonograph, will be of the latest design, consisting of a Westing house combination receiver and amplifiers. Thia apparatus, used in conjunction with a "loud speaker," will amplify the music and speech sufficiently to be heard over the entire room. High class music, news bulle tins, market reports and lectures now being broadcasted by news papers and radio manufacturers in Portland, Seattle, San Francis co and other coast cities will be received on the Spa set for the entertainment of patrons.

"We believe that the Willam ette valley was bulU for growing poultry, and that It's our duty and our p leasure to boost the In dustry to its proper recognition on the farms." said President C. W. Hewitt, after the Saturday meeting. "Poultry always pay; it will pay -better under some co operative form of marketing and handling that gives the grower better marketing facilities, and to encourage the growth of the In dustry to the point where every farmer considers poultry an asset instead of a nuisance, is our mis sion." About 30 poultry men and wo men were present during the aft ernoon session. The association Is primarily a sales organtation, and not a producing plan, but In order to havs enough stuff to sell. It has to look after the production on a Tar larger scale than is now n vogne; so it will be more of a propaganda organlatlon than Its original title and announced scope would Indicate. The association now has 1319 members, and 361.123 hens are owned and their produce handled In the corporation. It covers southern Washington, southern Idaho and Oregon.
