The thermometer in that district a few nights ago went down to 27, and iu some eipored places, as low as 23. There has also been some dam age to fruit from the same cause in the Yakima district. : All Our Fruit TVeedetf All the fruits, both tree and bush fruits, and strawberries pro duced this year in the Salem dis trict will Jbe needed. The loganberry crop on the old vines will be about one-th'id be low a full crop, owing to the de vitalized condition from bearing a full crop last year, and a long dry summer season and unusual periods of cold weather in the winter season. The new vines will ' partly make up for this deficiency; but the total tonnage will not be larger than last year; probably not as large. There will be more evergreen blackberries than last year; but etery berry will be needed. In fact, everything In the way of fruit grown itf this district this year will be needed, 4 and the prices should be remunerative. Great Canning Center. . Salem is already a great can ting center. But it is -headed for bigger things in this line" The Star Fruit products company has already started on the constuctlon of a new plant here, to employ about 200 people; perhaps to run Ine whole year through. '' This really means two new can neries for Salem this year, for the King's Food Products com pany is putting up a large can nery unit in connection with he great dehydration plant of this company. This is in addition to increasing their dehydration ca pacity to three times what it, was last year. 1 There are other cannery projects in the tapis; the plans for them are not yet matured, but they wilt no doubt come along soon. It is not out of the way to say that Salem is headed towards be cTming Oie greatest canning and fruit processing and shipping'cen ter in the whole of the United States, because in this district more kinds of fruits for- canning are grown, and will be grown, than can be produced in any other section of this country. VALUE OF RABBIT PELTS NOT GREAT But It Is Something, and There Are a Great jVlany Millions Used , Los Angeles Times: Some few weeks ago a correspondent Wrote j to the Farm and Tractor Section of The Times asking for informa tion as to the commercial Inv j portance of rabbit culture as a : source of meat supply and as o the possible returns from the pelts. In the reply printed some reterence was made to the market for rabbit furs. In a bulletin on the subject Just lsKued by the United States Department of Agri culture, we learn fhat the de- tnand for rabbit fur is such as to make it pay to save the pelts mt domestic rabbits killed fof food. kbut that raising rabbits for the fur alone would be unprofitable Seamless Hot Water ; Bottles and Combination Syringes Guaranteed Not To Leak vj Prices from $1 up y Brewer Drug Co. 405 Court Sti , FhoM 184 ' lOTie HUH JILL MOTOR WEST FROM BROOM. YORK This One Will Locate on Small Orchard Tracts Near Spo kane, Starting from the Great Metropolis About the First of August It Is Suggested That the Salem District Take up the Matter; of Securing One of The Caravans of Home Seekers from the Crowded Cit ies Who Want Room and Opportunities. By L. E. ("Bert") Warford, Na tional Automooiie' Chamber of Commerce, Washing ton, D. C.) It used to be a long hike from Brooklyn, N Y., to Spokane, Wash., but ,not so today. A crowd of energetic Brooklyn folks .have decided to give up city life with all Its struggles in the crowded metropolitan district where all are partially, if hot totally, depend ent upon the other, and "motor west" in a caravan to locate on small, productive orchard tracts near Spokane. Tfve Spokane Chamber of (jorumcrce is backing: the general niovement to encourage Talley de velopment and settlement, and have concluded arrangements with Willam D. Scott of Brooklyn. the leader of ''Scott's A Modern Caravan" of last year out to Buhl, Idaho, to organize and lead the partv overland to the tracts lo cated at Otis Orchards, on the Northern Pacific railroad, north east of Spokane. The land consists of several in dividual holdings, varying from 100 to 320 acres, with 400 acres from the Spokane Valley Land & Water company. The prices for the land are $250 to $300 per acre, .including per manent water rights from the Spokane canal for land partly de veloped. The adjoining lands are highly developed and demonstrate adap tability to alfalfa, clover, corn, small and tree fruits, truck crops, dairying and poultry. ' . Those in charge of the novel venture hope to proCit by the ex perience of the first or last year's caravan and make this one to Spokane, over the "open road and the scenic route" a complete suc cess. They expect to take at least 50 families front Brooklyn in the caravan. National interest is be ing manifested in the unique movement, and splendid coopera tion is .already assured. The caravan will leave Brook lyn About August 1, and they ex pect to reach their future home the last week in October. One of the basic requirements is that each family must have a cash capital in bank of at least $3000, an automobile, trailer, complete with any known breed. Some facts about the trade in rabbit skins will be of interest in this connec tion. More skins of rabbits arc collected, and sold annu?Uy than of all other fur animals combined. Before the- war Great Britain im ported each year from 70.000,000 to 9u.000.000 skins, while the home production added 30.000. 000 more. The imported supply came from Australia, and the nearer European countries. France, Belgium. Germany, the United Stales and other countries also use large quantities of thfc? fur. The bulk of ft Is sold In bales, bringing from 10 cents to 50 cents a pound, dependent on color -e nd quality. The better class of skins sell by the dozen, bringing from 50 cents to $1; that Is, less than 10 cents, each. Baled rabbit furs are bought lagely for felting purposes, the fur being made into cloth: or coarse hats, while the skins are utilized for manufacturing glue. Frbm the "above It will be seen that oar guess of IS cents per pelt was not so far wrong after all, j . THIS YEAR camping equipment and sufficient funds for the necessary traveling expenses for the journey. The contract the caravaners en ter into also requires that the settlers must be Americans,, white and of good citizenship. Pro vision is also made for good mor als, acknowledgment of and re gardful of the orders of the lead er, and, lastly, total prohibition on the whole westward journey. Over $75,000 will be spent im mediately getting the tracts ready for the "new agricultural citi zens." Construction of the farm houses in the western New Brooklyn Colony will begin early In July, and ail will be ready for immedi ate occupation when the settlers arrive. The houses are (o buni- formly painted, white with green trimmings after the old well known Cape Cod style. Ten acres will be planted in vegetables this spring and summer, which will yield sufficient winter vegetables for the entire colony. Arrangements are being perfec ted to purchase one good regis tered milk cow, fifty chickens and two brood sows tor each family. and to have them on the property upon the arrival of the caravan. The initial improvements as planned will cost about $1500 on the community plan, for each set tler, making $75,000 to be spent this summer before the caravan arrives upon the tract. Each settler will have from ten to twenty acres, the tracts averag ing 15 acres. The foundation crops will be clover and alfalfa, and the Wash ington State Agricultural college authorities will assist the settlers in every practical way to assure the success, insofar as possible, of the first year's crop yield. Why Not One for .Sal em? In sending the above, under date of Washington, May 2, to The Statesman, Mr. Warford, who is connected with the bureau f foreign and domestic commerce. United States department of com merce, whicb is headed by Her bert Hoover, says: "Undoubtedly the attached ar ticle regarding the motor caravan to Otis Orchard Tracts near Spo Kane, Washington, will be of some interest to you and the read ers of The Statesman. Iast year's caravan, as you will undoubtedly recollect, went out to BuhL Idaho, and I am wondering why It wouldn't be well to try to work up a caravan for land in the vicin ity or Salem or in the Willamette valley. I will be glad to supply you with additional Information If you desire." Why not? - The writer believes that fami lies with 10 to 15 acres each can be more certain of comfortable living and profitable employment on tjieir land here near Salem than in any other section of the entire country; or of the entire world, for that matter. ' They can engage in the culti vation of tree and busti fruits and nuts; In- gardening and dairying and poultry .raising and swine breeding and bee keeping. They can contract In advance for the sale of all the vegetables and fruits they can produce. They wilt have available the best hog market In the United States, and one of the best markets for poul try and dairy products.' They will be in the center of the only fil bert district in North , America, TmUi wUn and of the best walnut district. A single walnut .tree in California has sold tor $3000, and the Ore gon walnuts commanded a price of two cents a pound higher than the California walnuts In the mar kets last year. The man on the small tract. In the Salem district has the advan tages of a, mild climate; paved market roads; good school facili ties;, good and orderly and neigh borly society. . All of the above is commended to the Salem Commercial club, and to similar organizations throughout the Willamette valley. Land may be had at reasonable prices here to accommodate not only one caravan such as Is de scribed above, but dozens and scores of them. The movement, once fairly started, might be ex tended to- many of the big cities of the country where there are thousands of people who are tired of the crowded conditions and would be glad to be shown where they may obtain land that will yield good returns for the labor performed upon It, and that will grow in value, for many genera tions. . . Warford Oregon Roy VBert Warford was an Oregon boy. He knows many Salem peo ple, lie has made good in many responsible positions. He knows the advantages of the Willamette valley for the kind Of settlers, that join these caravans, and in his present work he can be of great help in getting the attention of the proper people directed to this valley. ' So the hunch is a very valuable one, and it should be followed up and worked out. The advertising value of these caravans la very great, too; .attracting . the atten tion of thousands who do not Join the caravans but may come In dependently. ; , Some Timely Suggestions on Getting-Plants Started, By Prof, Bouquet (The following timely com ments on getting the broccoli plants smarted are by Prof. A. U. Bouquet, of the department of vegetable gardening. Oregon Ag ricultural college, the article be ing printed in the May number of the Oregon Grower, the magazine of the Oregon Growers Coopera tive association:) Strong,- well developed plants makes it possible for the grower to get a good start on his broc coli crop.. If the stems are stout, the crowns vigorous and free from insects, end the root system has developed well in good soil, the plants should make a quick recov ery from the shifting into the field.
