ments over two small vessels, on

tion Continue Work!: "
At a meeting of tbe loganberry
association, committeemen yester
day representing practically: the
whole of , the loganberry territory
of the " Willamette valley, it , was
agreed ' that $ cents a .pound
should be the minimum price for
which the . association : will sanc
tion any berry sales. . Some sales
have already been mad'e at that
price,1 based largely on the agita
tion made , by the bis association
that-grew out of the Liberty meet
ing last' September.'! V :';j;f'
i Good; Work Already Dona
It is felt by the committee of
the general association,' that the
organization and its heroic work
tor a better price Is directly and
solely responsible for the price
being as high as it 13. Last year
the too price was 4 cents, and
many berries sold for less. A If
they have been able to add a full
cent a pound tor this year's crop,
It' will make an estimated $20,-
000 for the grower, above what
they might have Jurgd, ?
Afrreement Official ?
This? B-cent base price : Is an
nounced as the official agreement
of the committee, and according
to .President H. H. Mmnford is in
tended to authorize Vail the locals
to accept contracts at that mini
mum price. At he same ime, the
committee discussed the notor
iously unsatisfactory condition of
many of the loganberry vines of
the rvalley, where the vines ; from
last year's dry season are so thin
and weak as to premise Only a
short crop. They advocated the
careful pruning , of the lighter
vines so as to concentrgte the
plant strength on shorter :vlnes
and force larger better berries.
r Picking Price Tfxed I
It was the general understand
ing thaf 2 cents per pound for the
whole season should be the pick
ing price. This is suggested as
a base price of 1 cents cash,
and a one-half cent bonus; : for
staying ' through : the. season, but
it means the lull 2 cents for all
the pickers who stay with their
Jobs.. ; :-f :"' - ' :T-
From all over the valley nave

Pronosed Irrigation of San

1 In the past lO years, only 21.1 1
inches of fainfall has fallen In the
Salem district during the three
growing months of Jane, July and
August, an average of only Z. 14
Inches a year for the hottest three
monlhs of the year when the crops
should grow the most. In
the total! precipftationv was only
21 of ah inch; just about one fait
dust-laying shower.; t -.;'-
This was the framework around
which D. K. McDonald's talk on
irrigation for the Willamette val
ley: was- built at the Chamber ol
Commerce membership night pro
gram Wednesday night. It's -a
pretty dry I subject, this shortage
of water for growing crops, but it
has a financial interest to every
one in Salem and the valley.

Catholic Teachers Will Com
ply; With Law By Has
tening Terms Thru I
Contrary to a report circulated
la a local paper , yesterday after
noon, nuns who are engaged in
teaching public , schools at the
present time, will not remove
garb when the law prohibiting the
wearing of sectarian - clothing in
public Schools goes . Into effect.
This information was gathered by
County School - Superintendent
Mary: L,. Fulkerson who returned
yesterday from a tour of Inspec
tion of county schools.
! t-. ' , , , - ?
'.According to Mrs. Fulkerson
who has made a study of condi
tions; in schools where nans - are
employed, it has been unanimous
ly agreed that they will abide by
the law. By this, " however,
Is
meant that they will cease teach
tog in public schools after the
garb j law goes" Into: effect, rather
than remove their garb. There
Is .nothing, however,; to ' prevent
them I from teaching , In . private
schools. - , -
i lt i3 thought that many of
them; will rush the term's work
through so that they will be able
to dismiss -school when the -garb
law goes Into effect. As most of
the county. schools wlll.be out
short time later, such a procedure
Should not be found difficult.
.In order to continue teaching
in public schools j after My 24 It
wonld be necessary for- nuns to
