WILL ADVERTISE
, The Oregon Growers' Cooperative Association has decided
to spend at least a sixth of a cent a pound to advertise Ore
gon prunes; that is, a sixth of a cent a pound of the prunes
grown and marketed by members of that association
And this is a wise and prudent move.
Why is it 30? ,
Well, what The Statesman is pleased to call the Salem
district .will have probably 70,000,000 pounds; of prunes for
sale this year, if all the prunes can be saved and prepared
for market if enough help can be had and the weather con-
; ditions are such as to allow a long season for the inadequate
drying facilities; with -the canneries using prunes to the
limit of their ability to take care of them, and the dehydra
tion plant3 at Salem and The Dalles doing their full and great
sharV in taking care of the bumper crop that is now on the
trees and nearing picking time. 1 ' :
.' But the .primes of the members of this association for
this year are nearly all old;' about 90 per cent of them are
:aH-v;.:'viMrv:"'..'. ' -.v;-r -
Then why. should these growers spend a big sum in ad
vertising? r -
- Because the possible 70,000,000 pounds' of prunes for the
Salem district for this year- for western Oregon and Clarke
county'; Washington, ifiay be 100,000,000 or more pounds
next year; and will surely in the tvent of bumper crops with-
in'a few years .be a'half bilHon pounds; which will require
only about 80,000 acres of intensely cultivated prune orchards
in full bearing; whereas there are about 40,000 acres set to
prunes, now in: this dutrict-but about a third of the trees
... being" young. or not in full bearing; and another percentage
np bejng. cultivated and tended to get the highest yields and
; the best quality. of fruit. ';'':: (

Up In the great lonesome woods
oft&e North the old guides have
invented many yarns' to explain to,
thj ienckrfeet from the cities the
stfaOge" tracks,- the weird noises.
and ail the other new experiences
of the great outdoors. Mr. Chllds
was formerly a game warden in
thj woods of Northern .Wiscon
sin. The stories .which, he tells
here' are stories he collected trom
the ild guides themselves.' Twelve

low Is the seventh.)
. Xs breathless hush crept over
thi woods. 'There was no sound,
aaTe! the slight stirring of leases
- in th sultry air, and the "hall-
feaTfUl twHtering of birds. Na
turn seemed to bo waiting, with
hei linger on her lips..
-Then the storm broke. Dark

"The splinter cat is sure on a
rampage tonight," remarked the
guide, squinting out of the win'
dOW. -V". ' -,:"" ' .... "
The little' group of hunters.
huddled together in the cabin,
were silent. ' "
I've only seen a splinter cat
once." the, guide continued, - as
though to himself. "He Just comes
out during an electrical storm.
He's got a body something like a
cat, and he's nearly as big as an
elephant. Hla light-colored hide
has wide.black stripes crossing his
back from his head to the tip of
his tail. Kind of pretty-looking
animals The tunny thing about
him is his large, round stone head,
with just one eye in front. He
swings his head from side to side
and strikes a tree, knocking it
Into splinters, which la what ho
feeds on.
"Wheel There he goes again.
Every time he strikes a tree it
makes .a flash like lightning and
a noise like tnunaer. , u you
watch here, maybe you -can catch
. Somehow no one cared to go to
the window to see the splinter cat.
And do it intelligently and efficiently, in every possible way
that will bring economical results. . ,
If every pound of prunes raised in all the Salem district
could be made to bear its slight proportion of the.biefpggre
gate cost, this yearand for the next ten or twenty years, the
half billion pounds of a few years hence would be sold as eas
ily as the prospective 70,000,000 pounds of this year; and at
prices that would yield as high net profits to the growers.

Here! is another kind of three-story fanning. Read the
article concerning the farm on the "fourth of a city lot in Sa
lem of lufer BroSi, who came from Switzerland to give pur
people an example of what may be done on a miniature plat
of ground; just ordinary Salem soil, too. In Japan three
story farming means a crop on the surface of the soil and
two crops on frames above the surface, shifted by the patient
farmers to get the sunlight. In some sections it means a
coal mine beneath the surface, corn on the surface, and fruit
trees above the corn. In the Salem district it may mean
bush fruit3, tree fruits and nuts; with poultry and bees for
two extra stories. But with lufer Bros, it means tomatoes
and beans and cucumbers and cantaloupes and other crops
strung ijip to the side of a house, twice as high as a man's
head, or on poles that reach up eight to ten or more feet high.
The Iufers have a garden on 3x30 feet, and a farm on 10x25
feet, in point of production. It is worth seeing. Oregon
farmers and gardeners can learn something useful from these
Americans from the Alps mountains, where a little bit of land
has to be made to do the duties of broad acres in the United
States. I , . ., .

The loganberry growers will
note that the prune growers are
going to advertise, and to spend
a big lot of money, and distribute
the cost as evenly as possible.
Sticking everlastingly at t will
bring success to the prune grow
ers and the same kind of a pro
gram will establish the 6 cents a
pound minimum for the loganber
ry growers. Sure as shooting.

f THE SHORT STORY, JR.
SLEEPY-EYES
"Sleepy-Eyes' was
her father had given
the
name
her. The
name stuck even after he died,
and she had gone to live with her
aunt, because Ler dreamy disposi
tion and her big, black, deep
eyes, heavily fringed with beauti
ful . long eyelashes, remained un
changed. f
But her aunt, unimpressed by
the eyes, took her out of school
and made her go to work. All
day she worked in a stuffy. mail
order house whteh she hated, and
her eyes began to be a bit dull
with unhappiness. i V
One hot morning "Sleepy-Eyes"
got onj the car to go down town.
She was tired already, and heavy
eyed. 1 Her eyes became sleepier
than ever. She nodded. Then
it seemed only , a moment she
felt some one shake her, and ' a
rough voice said, ."End of the
line, lady."
She got off in a daze. The car
was miles away from her work
out on .the edge of the country,
in .fact. , She hadn't any fare
back, for she was to be paid at
noon that day, and had taken no
money 'with her.;
A little breezo blew across her
cheek. ; Suddenly she felt very
light hearted, as though work
was far, far away. What if she
would get fired and lier aunt
would be angry? It was strange
she didn't care.
She walked on and on, 'across
some lovely hills . overlooking a
stream. ' Suddenly she stopped.A
man was sitting there quietly
sketching. She stole up, very
close, and watched a long time
before he noticed her. At first
he frowned; then he looked at
her thoughtfully. "What's your
name?" jhe asked abruptly. She
told him. He studied her careful
ly. "Would you x mind sitting
there?" he said. He seemed a
nice old '-man.- 'She smiled and

A. Carter, which occurred In Port
land,. Oregon, on the 26th day of
August, terminated the life of one
of the. early pioneers of Salem.
Herself and husband resided in
Salem and vicinity for many years.
My recollection of Mrs. Carter is
quite vivid, na attended the
"Old Institute," Ov'llamette Uni
versity) in the early sixties. We
were school mates in the old
days. My remembrance of her
was ot a character that is very
difficult to describe. She was a
real womanly woman. Her whole
life was devoted to good deeds.
Her desire for the welfare of her
husband and children and living
a good, conscientious life were
some of her chief characteristics.
A pioneer of Oregon and a mem
ber of a proner family, she was
imbued with qualities which have
made the Oregon pioneers hon
ored and respected.
