' For there is being harvested now the tenth successive and 'Successful crop of broccoli in that district the largest crop yet" sent to market, and going at prices higher than here tofore to the grower, excepting in one or two of the war years'-.; ' : f ! Sme 250 cars of broccoli from that section of Oregon; ad' there "would be a market for 5000 cars, mostly in the big eastern cities, where this is the only thing of its kind for the fw last weeks of the winter season. ' i VSTJiere. have been two failures or partial failures of the broccqli crop in the Salem district two in succession. The growers of this district planted about 500 acres for the 1922 harvest, and a large proportion of it was winter killed; in jured by the breaking down of the plant by the freezing nights and thawing days of December and January. fH The answer of our growers was 1000 acres in broccoli for the present harvest -and the same sort of weather came, again ; so there will not be 25 cars suitable for the high class markets. Some of it will be canned. - xsut our gruwers are game spuria, x ney are noi quitters. At trytwa ailureS or partial failures, one after the other, ttfeirresent answer is the buying of seed in as large quanti ties aprjarently, as last year. , They surely should have their reward, i " .-. i ' ' ; ' ! - - . ' In The Statesman of this morning there are four articles that will be eagerly read by our broccoli growers three from the successful pioneer growers in the Roseburg district, and one fromProf. Bouquet, of the Oregon Agricultural college, the best authority on broccoli in this section of the country, or any other section of this country " For broccoli of superior quality the Oregon quality is not grown iri the United States outside of Douglas county and the Willamette valley counties ; has not yet been grown. p, C. CV Bussell said In 1921 that he had grown seven suc cessive broccoli crops near Salem, and he had up to that time never had a failure. T If we can have seven such" years in succession, the broc coli industry will be firmly established here, i In that time, no doubt, the favored locations will become better known. The checking up of this particular matterr-in the opinion of . Prof, Bouquet, is at this time very important to the industry. , This must be done, during the coming season, y xThe Statesman invites help in this respectE6ef3ritier teas ought to be recorded, for the good of all the growers engaged in the industry. 4 Perhapa f hi3 is the most important thing to be done in this field in the immediate future; and it should bv all means be done; carefully; completely. VTke potential value of the broccoli industry to the Salem district is too important a matter to be allowed to -be lost And now that it is known that our growers are no quit ters, it need not be lost, ' . I BITS FOR BREAKFAST Delightful jspring days. The Statesman annual edition will be issued Saturday. V V - In another week or so the mam moth new paper making machine in the Salem paper mill will he ready to run. m mm That will in effect be adding a new paper mill to Salem's in dustrial life, for the new machine will about double the output of the big mill. And the paper mill people are 'not through. They will not quit expanding for a long, long time. The broccoli growers of the a lem district are not quitters. They are going to stay with the game, and see it through. No doubt they will in their pioneering find wys to make the induy a stable one, notwithstanding an occasion winter in which, in some especially exposed places, there will every few years be December and Janu ary weather, with freezing nights and thawing days, that will break down the tissues of the growing crops. Such, places must be found out and avoided by broccoli growers. In that and other ways no doubt extreme risks may be minimized. - The man who lives for himself alone certainly has very little to live for.

This unusual feature was that of the author "of the story, the writer of the scenario details and the leading actor being all one and the same man, Melford W. Howard of Los Angeles and, was his first effort. As a rule we see" different persons itemized on the screen tor the different details of a picture. I met Mr. Howard in Los An geles, at a time when he had writ ten his first book, a story of the South. He is about 50 years of age, a retired lawyer of 25 years' practice and an ex-congressman from Alabama. He' went to south ern California for rest and while there became interested in pictur izing his stories. Mr. Howard has written several books and is undertaking to place all of his stories on the screen. He has a message for the world and be lieves in the motion pictures to present his ideas to the public, believing, also, that many will "look" af a story wb.o irill not read it in a book. ,, I n"The Bishop of the Oiarks", Howard presents his ideas tf the parole system. "The Biahopr first reforms himself, then others. Re form within, rather than from without, is his idea. He bejieves much as our own governor does, that' men should be given an op portunity to learn a useful trade and to occupy their minds with constructive surroundings. He believe in mem. Ambitious writers may take heart' in knowing that here is a man who independently wrote his own story, managed its .produc tion and then acted the principal character. For a first time ap pearance on the star, , you must admire the author in his charac terization of the dual convict and bishop role. Finis Fox certainly furnished a capable company in support, and the local theateT gave the setting all that could be wished in the musical numbers! which were admirably well se lected and wonderfully played by, the house pipe-organist. Witbour doubt the performance owed much, of it's beauty and inspiration to the pipe organ music which went far to carry out the religious sen timent with which the picture, was so richly embellished and -.without i n 4-i aiu ,u yiv iug nuuiu ww necessary setting. - ,.

Millar For Boys and Girls WILD ANNULS The Kangcroo ' If the animals held athletic meets, the kangaroo, that queer native of Australia, would prob ably hold the titles for the broad Jump, racing and boxing. So very different is the kan garoo that he really can't be com pared "with any, -other, animal. With hind legs over twice the size of his front legs and a stiff thick tail almost as long as his body, he looks very clumsy, but it , is these powerful legs and tail that enable the kangaroo to jump from 20 to with, swift strokes, he wounds or kills his victim with his terrible sharp claws, j In Australia the kangaroos are constantly hunted becau.se they destroy the grazing fields needed for cattle and sheep. Their skins are very valuable, and the natives use the tail to make soup. ; Kangaroo hunting has become such a sport that especially swift dogs, called kangaroo hounds, have been bred to run the animals down. ; When j pursued, the kan- 30 feet In one bound and to travel to quickly that the fastest hunt ing dogs can't overtake him. Except occasionally when feed ing., the kangaroo doesn't use his front legs for support. He holds an upright position, and when he's resting he curls his stout tail un der him. and sits on it. - . t He never looks for trouble, and will! not fight unless he is cor nered. ; Hls . only means of de tense ls'the very long sharp claw In each of his hind feet. When he is In dangerof attack he will speed away with springing leaps, but if cornered he will turn and firht desperately. Resting on his tail, he will allow the enemy, to attack and then will box with his front paws or hold "him while. garoo will run Into shallow wat er, and when the dogs attack him he will grab them, one after the other, and with his powerful legs and tall will! hold them under water until they drown. ' Kangaroos can be easily tamed, and re trained by their owners to box with them. (Next week: "The Grizzly the Monster of the Mountains.") I THE SHORT STORY, JR. I ; . THE LITTLE NATIONAL HANK Two girl 'r started saving their . .1 . monrr i ' . ' . 'For days when the days wouldn't . be sonny;. They stalled out well; ' But this story will tell How the way that they ended vas fanny. The "lAttle National Bank" sat on the corner of the book case. Betty Jane had found it at a' fire' sale. One corner of it wa9 7 a little rusty, but the ; rest of it was as good as it had ever been. The gold letteTs across the front of it, "The Little Na tional Bank," were as bright as ever. ' . "Clara,", said Betty Jane, "I've decSded that we ought to start saving some money. Every one should put away something for a rainy day." She produced the "Little National Bank" and set it on the1 corner of the book case. "When we ' get this full we'll take it down and start a savings account at the big Na tional, Bank." M After that 4 every week when the girls came home with their pay envelopes they each dropped 35 cents into the little bank. Soon the bank became quite heavy. ' But one day word came that Clara's mother was very ill and needed every penny that Clara could spare. By common consent the girls agreed not to put any more money in the little bank until she got better. Betty Jane had seen a ring in one of the stores that she felt she Just must have. You paid dollar down and 50 cents a week untMl It was paid for. 'She had been saving 35 cents, but it was all Betty1 Jane could do to save 15 cents more. A week came when she just didn't have it. She thought of the little bank on the corner of the bookcase. It wouldn't hurt just to borrow 20 cents from . it. She shook , it hard and two i shining dimes tumbled out. The next week s" was forced to borrow again, and the next, " and the next. She could easily pay it all back as soon as she had paid for ' her ring. Then one day she "wag sur prised to discover how light the little- bank was getting. Wten she shook It, it hardly rattled at all. There were only- two nickels left. She had taken all Clara's money! Stolen ft! She was so ' afrafld Clara would i dis cover it that she didn't know what to do. iFnally she could stand it no longer. She decided she would! have to .confess it all to Clara. 1 That night when they met out side the factory doori to walk home together, Betty Jane be gan Immediately, "Clara, I mcst tell you " - "Oh, Betty JaneV Clara inter rupted, "I just can't stand beT'ng a sneak and a cheat any, longer'. You'll hate me when you know, but I've been taking the monex out of our little bank ?to send to mother. I had no Idea I had take"n so much. I.'ve taken -it all but two nickels!" . . .

There will be no orations at the funeral, in compliance with her wish, but her desire for "many flowers" Is certain to be gratified by the public. The death of another Broadway ( girl has given the police a new rr Btery with which- to cope. Mrs. Frances Beckwitb. 21 years old. a chorus girl, died in the Roosevelt Hospital, New, York. city, when she was taken from the apartment of Edward Campbell, a friend, who told the police he found her trying to enter her apartment but too intoxicated to find her keys. He insisted be was not at the party which the girl attended, An autopsy on the body revealed that death was caused by acute peritonitis, under circumstances similar to the death of Virginia Rappe. in the famous Arbuckle case.
