' - ' i ' - Salem is still the hop center: the largest primary hop market in the world, that is, the largest buying market from- , Though the Oregon acreage is dwindling, and it - would not be wise for inexperienced men to set out new! yards in t However, there will likely, be hops grown in the Salem district for a verv lonar time: "perhaps for all time, for there are manyr uses for hopsj including the drug trade, the trade of thebakers for yeast, and the trade of the makers of jnild malt drinks . ; '.".' ,'. -h ' And the latter may persist and grow' to such an extent as to 'make such a revival of the industry as to call for a largely increased acreage.

'And, with proper cooperation and intelligent marketipg, factories can use this so as to enable them to pay a pritje, to the growers that will leave a profit for the production of cabbage ; and this can be done year after year. - 1 ' ; There will be more drainage districts in this section in the future; so there will be more well drained land. And there will be more irrigation on the farms, too, and this will help to ; guarantee crops ; needing moisture during tHe dry, summer season, such as cabbage. j ' But there are tens of thousands of acres of land in the Salem district now, capable of producing cabbage of quality and tonnage to the acre high enough to yield a profit; which can be done on as large a scale as factory demands will war mint rf ' " ' In order to build up a large sauer kraut Industry in Sa lem, cabbage must be had at around $12 to $20 a ton, on the aVerage; and this; can be done , at a profit, with the right methods. And it can be done on a large scale, s Ours is a land of diversity; and a land of diversity can wPAfhor all the storms of adversity. In order toJ develop along this line, and to increase and fortify our schemes of di versification, we should not neglect the cabbage industry,' and we should makJriore sauer kraut than we use, instead of less, as we have been doing. We should nave some eacn year to spare to our neighbors, and for the general markets that are available to us. ,: ; ; I J The Man with ; the Hoe Says-- How to Use Peppers f F , - Stuffed peppers, according to a variety , of recipes, hare become a popular article of ,dlet, either made, with fresh meat, chopped or ground or with forcemeats made from left-over cooked meat.

' 4 . . - m , : . r - - ' s . . . . Caterpillars, of some moths, par ticularly the polyphemus-' moth, jare so numerous that we? often wonder why they doj not multiply so fast that there are nothing but polyphemus' mothsaround us. Na ture steps Inv-howeVerT an Tegu lates their number by means 'of. a little fly called rfihe Ichneumon fly. It Is one of the specialists In the Insect world and Its job is to prevent 'the countryside from being flobded with! caterpillars and moths, f, . ,v! -f-Strangely, It r has 1 no teeth or good offensive weapons. . ' How, then, .does it manage to kill lions of caterpillars jyearlyT V. Egg Hatches la ' Caterpillar ,- .Let's look at the way one par ticular species. ; ophion. works. When' Mrs. Ophion is ready to lay her eggs she hunts out a nice, fat, polyphemus caterpillar. She flies up to him and deposits one single egg on his furry body. ? This little egg hatches-and bores his way In to the caterpillar's body. This treatment does not kill the cater pillar at once. ; V "1 - "v Almost always, the : caterpillar lives . to spin his cocoon, bnt he never emerges fro mlt - because the larva of the ophion consumes the caterpillar's body for - food, Finally the tiny cocoon within the cocoon hatches and out comes an other ophion, ready to carrp on the war against caterpillars. Cjmterpillar Picks up Eggs Some of the ichneumon flies lay, many eggs ; to feed upon a sin gle caterpillar. Some, of them .just lay their eggs' in place where a caterpillar Is sure to pass and pick up the eggs as he crawls over them. , Some day, if you take the aptns to search, yon may be able to see one of these small files emerklng from a great" cocoon. If so, you will be able to understand . the tragedy which has' taken place in-j side the cocoon the fly coming out has " been Nourished on the blood of his 'caterpillar enemy whose shell will still be found, in the cocoon, if It is opened.

He didn't see why tvey had to tear the house, down u:aost Tery time one of his sis t"rs got married. How he hated .ddlngs. Kate's especially! Kate as near his own age and had al- ys bsen a regular pal to him. . Iiat WOUlJ he ATP, rin vlthnnl had, worked up a terrible hatred for him.:; His train was due any time how, and the wedding was to be shortly after he arrived. .v; Hello, there! I suppose you're Jimmy." Jimmy sat up suddenly and hoped that the garage was too dark " for his Visitor" to see any traces of tears. Al young fellow was coming across the agrage. 'Oee, I'm glad to get out of there. Aren't .weddings fierce?" He sat down and mopped his brow. ' - v ; Jimmy liked: him Immediately. "1 suppose you're one of the ush- her? ' He buried " his face in the seat of the old; Ford and sobbed. Kate was too 'young to be get ting married. "Why, she was only three years older ihan he "was. He rupposed his .mother would e ex pecting him-td get-married .next. Not If he knew itl He- 'wouldn't steal a fellow's sister an take her away out Westi--.-j;;f 'i.lrSl . An this was another thing-that made Kate's wedding- so much worse than his. other sister's. She. was, marrying a fellow she had met when she was visiting. out In California, and .she Would go out there to live!- ' Jimmv had never yet seen the young i man, but he Jed ,nto 'he garage and, to Jimmy's dings, either.; I'm never going to have one, are you?" SThe fellow laughed. "WeU, It looks to me like I wouldn't. Fel4 lows never have them it's just girls." ."Gee,, I wish Kate could have had hers without that poor boob from California. I hate him. Now, If she - were marrying you! Shoot I wish she was." ; They talked a long time, and Jimmy learned that the young usher was ' from California, tool "That's all that's against you," he said. jv; f , , - J Oh, here you are!" Kate rush- mmazemenc.. tnrew ner arms around the young usher's neck. "Oh, I'm so happy! What do you think! Mother has just promised that Jim myi may spend the sum mer with: us in California. Won't we three have a wonderful time?'? furnish seasoning for chow-chows late in needed pickles j and the season.' ' i The' sweet peppers, either to be eaten raw1 In salads; used as fla voring in' made dishes or stuffed, are the main crop. They need full sun and plenty of moisture. In dry spells give the peppers a thorough soaking occasionally. Some of the newer giant varieties will not fruit until late and all require rich soil. For the large bell or bull-nosed types, a little support sometimes is necessary In the1 form of light stakes. -Two or" three stakes set about the plant will be sufficient for this purpose. Hilling up the plants slightly Is also to be' re commended to obviate the neces sity of stakes.- The best plan is to plant a succession of peppers which bear at various seasons to secure a succession crop. The Nea politan types are the earliest and the bull noses the latest. Pinch the "king": flower in the large types to secure ' a greater yield. This Is the first flower to open. Magnum Dulce is one of the finest of the big sweet pepper types. The new Pimento is noted , for Its thick, " mild 4 riesh ' but is a late type.: Peppers should be given at least 18 Inches spacing. Close planting! will be followed by- a poor yield. ' ' . AVOID THESE SYMPTOMS "I was weak and nervous, had headaches all the time, and my back hurt so bad I could hardly stoop," writes Frank Richardson, Perry, Georgia. "Tried Foley Kid ney Pills and got relief." Back ache, reumatic pains, tired feel ing, dull headaches, too frequent urination, discolored ' or strong odorare symptoms of Kidney and Bladder disorders ' and : demand prompt treatment. ' Foley Kidney Pills give Quick relief. Refuse substitutes.' Insist upon Foley's. Sold ' everywhere. Adv. , .1 1-Day total sales. 1.036.000.

U NEW YORK, June z 0.- Failure of another ' stock exchange house demoralized today's stock market and sent prices tumbling to their lowest levels of the year. Coming within 24 hours after the presf- dent of the exchange had issued a statement, that "the committee on business transactions has checked, up the various names touched by rumors and in each case has founji no justification for any suspicion of weakness." The latest bank ruptcy brought about a vast flood of liquidating orders by frighten ed Investors, which were increased by the heavy offerings of profess sional short interests. ; ? r The market opened firm and seemed destined for a good rally when the suspension of the bank rupt firm, was announced. Sup porting orders were rushed Into the market and the .higher, prices were maintained for a time after the bad news; had become known. The pressure became too.greati however, 'and 1 quoted values bP gan to crumble all over the list. The selling reached Its climax la the final hour when more than 450,C00 shares, comprising more than-one-third of the day's busi ness," changed hands, The ticker did not stop; recording quotations until 22 minutes after the market closed..; '. ; ' . - HAY.

Fields of oats and vetch are ; not uncommon, that look to be good from four to five tons to the acre; Clover has made a peculiarly good growth and tfi3T yield is going to break all records, j ?

Be cause or the coot, cloudy weather, the hay is later than usuat. Much of the first crop is still uncut, so that a ' little good dry weather would still save the bulk of the crop In perfect condition. - j " . Wheat and oats promise to yield fully twice as much per average acre as they did last year.
