horticultural - field, men like
Charles Patten, who did so much
to breed up Iowa plants; and to
think that Iowa is not only the
home of the Delicious but Is also
the home of this remarkable
new strawberry.
The Originator
Harlow Rockhill of Conrad,
Iowa, is , the originator ' of this
new beiry.j Rockhill I has . been
a plant" breeder or years. He
has worked patiently, and per
sistently and has accomplished
a great deal. His modesty; how
ever, has tended to keep him in
the background.: Not only is he
a recognized breeder of straw
berries but he is doing construc
tive work in s the " "breeding ., ot
hardy hybrid plums, apricots and
similar fruits. : . . . -
Yearn ago Rockhill brought
out the first everbearing straw
berry. : These had the - one char
acteristic of being everbearing in"
true. : They were often 1 over-
productive, frequently - small In
size and at times the quality
as not up to some of the stan
dard spring varieties. , But Rock-
hill did not get discouraged.
FIrt, he worked to get everbear
ing character; second, he work
ed to get yield with this char
acter; then, he; incorporated ; in
this vigor, giving' the . plants
plenty of foliage as well, as a
fiuit : bearing .. . character,, .and
finally with: these he has con
nected quality. .;" v I
This has been a 'marvelous
achievement. It was a big step
forward from the early ever
bearing to the , progressive; and
the other everbearlngs . which
have followed. The everbearlngs
generally have not had the char
acteristic of producing well in
the spring. 7 They would beat
a relatively light spring crop
and scatter along through the
summer, with a fair crop In the
fall. This characteristic, It ; is
reported, has been entirely over
come In the new berry, - w :

strawberry Is as follows: Rock

S00 TONS OF SPINACH AS Jl MINIMUM
IHTFJ HERE BY IE B'S COIUIP0
The Growers of the Salem District Have Been Over-.i'-i,
looking an Opportunity, and They Have Never Yet
i , Produced. Enough Spinach for the Salem Plant,
' Which Has Exhausted Its Supply Each Year in 60
Days After Opening Its Prices. i f
- Growers have overlooked : an
opportunity in not putting In a
greater acreage' of spinach. j
Spinach' Is one vegetable which
the .medical profession considers
as almost an indispensable part
of our diet: Tn- the treatment of
anemlaj spinach Is recommended
by almost all physicians because
of the large V amount of Iron It
contains, 'and many physicians
regard it as unsurpassed-for "In
fant feeding.
It Is said that western spinach
has even a richer content of .iron
than eastern spinach. The west
ern spinach is larger leaved and
longer ' stemmed and ' matures
more quickly than eastern spin
ach. The Willamette valley soil
produces a finer grade of spinach"
than is - found - in . most sections.
The (longer . stems, rather than
being a liability, are considered
an advantage, because they have
a higher mineral content than the
leaves themselves.

Tears ago we j used to think:
of everbearing as only for the

Vicinity 5 of every strawberry con

has the remarkable keeping and
marketing qualities as it is said
to possess, there Is no reason
why it will not ship as well as
any df our standard varieties.

DID YOU KNOW that Salem is the market center of the
largest spinach growing industry in Oregon J that our de
hydration plant and canneries must hay e more spinach;
that the market for the manufactured product is laifee and
bound to grow very fast, owing to the fact that spinach is
one of the greatest vegetables in dietary schmes; that there'
is money in the growing of spinach; that the powdered de
hydrated product may in time take all that this section can
produce? ' ' ,
has created a demand for spinach
which exceeds the supply.
The King's Food Products com
pany nave-never yet been able to
obtain sufficient fresh spinach of
the ' grade they require to take
care of their, needs. The Portland
office managers of King's report
that within 60 days after, open
ing their, prices on spinach their
supply is exhausted. --'
Want Big Tonnage ' '
The King's Food Products com
pany is now prepared to execute
spinach contracts for the 1923 sea
son. No less than 500 tons of spin
ach are wanted for. the Salem
plant alone, : and this spinach
should bring $2 5 a ton. From
three to seven tons should be
raised to the acre. It is a 60-day
crop and may be followed by
strlngless beans, which can be
grown on average ground. .Beans
are also a profitable crop,' and the
grower should realize $100 to the
acre.' , . .7,':.'",, - ' .
The farmer who considers prop
er rotation of crops' will give se
rious thought to spinach followed
by strlngless beans, not only be
cause they are, profitable, but be
cause the bean picking season fol
lows directly after the loganberry
harvest,-when help Is available. . ,

pany is ready to offer contracts to
responsible persons who' are inter
ested. - Seed will be furnished at
