From Grants Pass Direct The Grants Pass district of the Oregon Growers Cooperative asso ciation, which has been selling its fruit through Medford. is to mar ket its iruit. hereafter directly through the association proper, according to a recent report The estimated tonnage which this dis trict will produce is 14,000 boxes of apples; 5400 boxes of winter pears: 10 to 20 cars, of peaches and two to -three cars of grapes. The association, it is said, will not handle the Bartlett pear ton nage this year, due to a previous arrangement of this district with itj agents. They Started Yesterday and the Harvest Soon on in Full Blast The first car of pears startea rolling to Salem yesterday. They started from Yakima, Wash., and they are oiv their way to the Sa lem cannery of the Hunt Bros. Co. Picking is also , beginning In southern Oregon, and it will be on here In the Salem district very soon; it is expected to be in full blast by the 20th. So' all the canneries and the dehydration plant and other fruit packing and shipping and handl Ing, concerns will be very busy very soon now. One , day last year the Hunt Bros. Co. cannery . here in Salem put up .120,000 cans cf fruit, mostly Bartlett pears. That will give the reader something of an idea of the busy times of the near future, In the fruit manufacturing concerns of Salem. Evergreens Coming On The Hunt people are working on blackberries e' tie Lawton class, mostly, right now, with few evergreens trickling In. The evergreens are expected to be comlne strong by the 15th. The other, canneries and. fruit con cerns here are . expecting them The prices being paid now for evergreens are 4 to 5 cents pound, and the tonnage will be large. Irom present expectations The Oregon Paeking Co, out on Twelfth street, will put up a big lot of them. , Loganberries are all gone al most. A few lots still trickle In Some came yesterday. ; Peach harvest Is now on in the Salem district, and peaches are being Bhipped In all directions The canneries' here have never used peaches: The Hunt cannery people have already sent out 10 to 15 carloads of empty boxes, to be returned filled with pears. ; ;When prune drying commences, a few weeks from now,; and when bop picking Is on In full blast this is going to be a very busy district, .'even busier than in the strawberry and : loganberry sea sons, and Salem is going to be a very busy city. .

Woodruff, Paradise, Cal. The modern milk goat Is one ot our most worthy of domestic anl mals, and as people learn more of these animals and their milkj Products, the interest in them grows. Thus they become more and more an essential in Ameri can life. No food is of more importance than milk, and milk from well bred and well kept goats is the purest and most wholesome ob tained from any of our dairy animals. Many people realize the value of goats' milk for infants, but it is better for older children and grown-up people as well. Great Food Value Not only is it as. pleasant and agreeable to the taste as the best of cows' milk, hut It has greater food value. This is true, not be cause it is much richer than cows milk in butterfat, as some norm I a hellnve. but because it Is grvwgrv much more completely asslml lated. The butterfat particles are much smaller and much more readily digested. As the molecules and atom composing the casein of goats milk are bo much more minute than that In cows' milk It is di gested in the stomach in a much shorter time it is said to require nnlv hne-third as long and the chemical composition is the most favorable. Scientist Are Friends The most ardent friends of the milk goat we have are people of education and those of scientific knowledge, and It is this class of people who use it the most freely nd itroclaim its value. Most all nnnnle who have used goats' milk SALEM HAS REASON TO FEE PROUD F AIRMOUNT DAIRY BUILDING - - - Ji ledge, perhaps, to avoid contagion right under its eyes. Science has put health and long life within the reach of the city m'Jk buyer, better than ever existed In the open country; the city babies on Pasteurized milk live far safer than country babies on raw milk, even though they do have fresh air to go with it. Living according to some of the creeds of habit prescribed by "scientific cranks, might be a burden, not , worth the price. 'Bat the science that can learn (be hab XX-T FV e' Hrf V ' p; ; i.r m.

The interest Is growing fasi and becoming manifest, and the goat is helping in a large measure to supply a great economic need which has long obtained. There should be goats in the homes of all ; people in rural communities. and people in cities having a bac yard might well have their own family supply ot milk from one or two goata at little expense. No other food can take the place of milk, and one may rest assured that the goat, with ordinary care, is free from the germs of tuber culosis. Interesting Occupation The writer became Interested In goats of good breedng several years ago, as they appealed to him as being just what is needed in the ordinary family, especially those, that desired a family sup ply of milk in a smaller unit than that of the cow, and which could be had at a nominal cost. Be coming thoroughly convinced of the wholesomeness ot goats' milk. and to produce it, the need of more of these animals, decided to raise the best goats possible to supply the need. It is a very pleasant and inter esting occupation and affords an interesting field for study in the sciences of breeding. There are three important breeds of milk goats in this country, the Toggen berg, Saanen and Anglo-Nubian. The first importations made from Switzerland were in 1904 and t905. From these importations and In these few years some of these strains have been consider ably Improved, and now this country can boast of some of the heaviest milk-oroduclne goats In the world, and in this line Call- fornia stands well in the lead. 1 1 The writer has purebred Tog genbergs, and these, when prop erly selected and bred with lodg ment, a high average of heavy milkers' may be produced. In building up a herd, the purebred animals are the best investment. and there is considerable satisfac tion in having the best that can be secured. Goats are easily cared for and are the most healthy domestic animals known to mankind. May they grow and prosper and be- nma universalis UDwu as ' great benefactor in supplying the most wholesome looa, ana most economically produced, the IE BOSCPFJIS 1 VERY FINE PI n r I n t(Unr!tw rrOT.

Prof. Lewis, the. pear authority. and writer of pear text books, does not forget the pear, nor any Other fine fruit. The following are a few excerpts from the ar- its of all the little bacilli that are in every drop of mlk ever drawn, that can chase the bad ones through the boiler and then out of that into the ice-tank where they perish before they can get out their winter overcoats and far caps, and that can coax all the good little Bulgar'cusses to go to work for nothing and board them selves for the benefit of mankind, and between the two can sare,2- per cent of the babies that used to die because, of bad milk that kind of science is worth while. " -us-"'1 Ml 1WN OREGON FROM MH He Adds to the Defense of the Statesman Writer Made Last Week V Editor Statesman: Having read the letter of Mr. E. W. Smith ot Minnesota, . we must smile, tor it surely seems that he must have met up with some of our funny men, who, sor. ry to say, seem to delight in gov ing. misinformation to strangers. This, of course, clears Mr. Smith of any blame fcr writing an arti cle which is not only misleading to his local friends who are inter, ested in Oregon, but tor the larg er part untrue. The past two years I know of over a hundred farmers, business I men and others, who came from Minnesota to look the "shacks" over in Oregon and most ot these people are here yet, and the bal ance are going to return later with their friends and-relatives. I cppreclate that Mr. Smith is a booster for his home state, but to do this, it is not necessary for a man to plop over and exagger ate Now. Mr. Smith, I firmly be lieve, if you are a fair-minded man. that yon would not object to a trial to prove whether you real ly made true assertions when you would not trade acre for acre for Minnesota land." If you will ar range your affairs so you can come to Oregon, I don't care where, and put yourself in the hands of a committee of men who will locate you on a piece of land of your own choosing, and pay at tention to their experience in farming this Oregon land. I feel sure, one year win convert you into an ardent Oregon booster. Personally, I have met hund reds like you who are bo wrapped up with local pride that they can't see the good points of a sister state. If you are the man we think you are. you will realize, if you stop to think, that you have made a ridiculous error, that hundieds of your former Minne sota residents laugh and poke fun at. They know better, and so j will you if your commonsense is allowed a chance to assert itself. JOHN SMITH. Salem, Or., Aug. 7, 1922. tides in the magazine mentioned: 'There is a very inviting and big field for pear production. "The pear is 'a fruit of great merit. It is highly prized by Eu ropean countries and it could be consumed in much larger quan tities in this eoijry. There are millions of our people who rarely cat a ptar. It is unfortunate that. as grand a fruit as is the pear. It should be so little known. Fruit growers are overlooking a good bet when they pass up pear grow inng. It can be made a successful industry in many sections, and one which will pay a high profit to the producer. Increasing Favor of Bosc. 'The increasing favor of the Bosc has been one' of the out- Standing factors in pear produc tion in this country. A variety barely known ten to fifteen years ago Is now rapidly becoming the most popular pear produced and one of the most profitable." That Sounds Good. , That sounds rery good to the people of the Salem district. where the Bosc is the great pear for shipping where every one is going into Bosc pears, and should do so, to the exclusion of all oth ers, or at least aDove an oiners. for a late pear; for shipping. Not excluding the Bartlett, of course. for the use of the canneries. The Salem district is the pear paradise; the place of all the world having the most pear friends nad the fewest pear ene-1 mies; where land for pear grow ing 13 abundant and comparative ly cheap; where there is no pear blight; where the Bartlett is self fertile, or nearly perfectly so I and this is true ot no other coun try or section. The two B's, Boscs and Bart- letts. stuck to and extended and boosted here, will alone make tb Salem district wealthy and fa mous. . Advertising Pears. The same paper tells about an advertising campaign of the Cali fornia Pears Growers' association. In the four cities of Boston. New York. Philadelphia and ChiraRo. in which $50,000 Is being spent to increase the consumption of the California fresh Bartlett pears. Philadelphia and Boston were covered In this way last yean rih remarkable success. The time will come when the Salem district Boscs and Bartlett ! will be advertised nationally.

During the past 'several days two'.small fires hate occurred in this- city but in both instances the flames! have been extinguished before the appearance ot the fire depart ment. The Dallas Flouring mills had a small blaze Saturday, and bunaay morning an alarm was sent in from the Willamette Val ley Lumber company's mill where a small fire was discovered.
