Mr. Crawford's berries are the Oregon, sometimes called : the Champion or Oregon Champion. These are the berries generally grown in the Salem district.

This however, is exceptional. I Polk Against World It looks like it is going to be Polk county against the world for; gooseberries: especially the hill country across the Willam ette river from Salem. The people over there are the pioneers of the industry, and Mr. Crawford thinks their soil and location Is superior for1 goose berry growing. He says the bush es run up to 10 and 12 years in those hills, in good bearing con dition. They persist there -as they do not elsewhere. " Gooseberry1 Prices Gooseberry growers received 6 cents a pound from the 'canner ies of Salem for their good fruit last year. Mr. Crawford said that he .hoped the, price may be as high for, 1923; but he said that-there is some clear money In gooseberries at a lower price, tie thinks there is about $150 net an l acre in gooseberries in his district, at 6 eents a pound; peThaps more,' depending" some what on what the grower him self thinks his own labor and ef forts are worth.

Mildew can usually be controlled by one ap plication of lime and sulphur, diluted l to 40, when the fruit is about ' one-third grown. Some (Continued on page 4) The Surest Way to Get Industries Is to Support G O EB B MY 12.000 TO 20.000 POUNDS AN ACRE They Make a Reliable and' Profitable Crop for Those Having the Right Soils and Locations The Bushes Need Good Attention for the Best Results The Or egon Champion the Right Variety. Jesse lluber, ' a gooseberry grower withextensive experience in the Salem district, some trme ago wrote the following on - this industry for The Statesman: The gooseberry will do no good in the southern . states nor is it profitable as a';comtnerc'al berry throughout' thai prairie- section west of the Mississippi river. This berfy. Is most prolific in a cool sumraer climate where the heat of the sun is not sufficient ly intense to cause discoloration of the tissue on the exposed side. We :- have ' here in . the Salem district, and in the whole Wil lamette i valley favorable climatic and soil conditions lor growing gooseberries profitably on a com- merclal scale. The soil selected should be of a heavy, moist, yet loamy . texture. ' ! v Drainage is , important, as is also soil fertility. A northern exposure is preferable to a south ern slope for - location of the plants, d Good . air drainage Is impor tant. ' Ixw depressions into Which fog or daanp air Is likely to set tle should be avoided as such locations are favorable to mildew and leaf spots, r two of the most troublesome fungous diseases. Commercially speaking, about the bnly gooseberry found profit able! under our conditions is the Oregon Champion. z- This berry, though running- a little small, is- Jn active demand as a canner and for makiffg Jel lies and jaims. It is also good when' used in combination with other fruits In imparting that sprightly gooseberry flavor, now gaining in favor with American consumers. " Growers find the Oregon Cham pion a sure Cropper and a heavy yielder. 1 One grower says he has never been troubled with either leat spot or mildew, yet he has never used, any spray, to prevent these diseases. One of the very good features of the Oregon Champion is that this-variety is quite, resistant to the usual fungous diseases which are so troublesome when other kinds . of these berries are grown Tho yield on an acre planted to . gooseberries, of course, will vary widely. I If the plants are set in rows six feet apart and Jour feet be tween the plants in the row,- the yield may run aa high as uf roan 300 to 500 bushels-per acre which -means 12,000 to 20,000 pounds. Four to eight quarts of berries may be taken from Indi vidual bushes - under good con ditions. - The thorns are " a source oi trouble In gathering the fruit. Some growers use a wire frame with flanges like a comb; others literally strip the berries rom the branches with heavy leather gloves covering their hands When the berries are gathered they should 'be run through a fanning mill to remove the leaves and small twigs. j Gooseberries should be gather ed before 'they become ripe. - The present t marked demands them at this stage. - - - They are then most readily gathered and can be hold for a considerable time - without in Jury. Being the first fruit of the season, consumers ; are ready to More hhd Larger Those iYdu Have Why-(suffer with Stomach ' Honrs GO HERE IIP TO buy gooseberries at a price that spells profits to the ; , grower.

HALF HOG APIECE F0ROUI That Is a Prettv and Well Worked ' Out Ouota: ay i VVOrKeu Ul yuma d Porker for Each Two . Oregon can grow profitably only .enough 'hogs to' supply the local demand, roughly, half a hog for each person. It also happens or was fixed up in some way. that there' Is about enough farm waste and city garbage to care for 391, 000 hogs just half a head apiece. Investigations by ; the state col lege extension force further show the character and distribution of this surplus- material that helps produce cheaper pork. -"One hog is needed on the average ' farm to clean up such wastes, as cull roots, fruits and vegetables, and table scraps.
