There Will Be a Good Crop of
Large Sizes. Running to
the High Prices
It Is the general rerdlct of well
posted men engaged In the Indus
try hltheralns hare not Injur
ed the prune crop. One man told
the writer yesterday that they
could stand e ren more rain. But
the growers will welcome the fair
weather season that Is now pre
dicted. ; ' ' ;; :
"Dryer Labor Scarce f (
Some of the growers report that,
while they are able - to secure
enough pickers, they hare diffi
culty in getting ' enough men to
run the dryers. v ; . -1 ' ;
Fair weather, howerer. will
make the tension less serere. and
no doubt all the fruit will get har
rested, though it will lnrolre long
hours tor some of the men who
hare the job of getting the fruit
through the dryers. f- v .
Ronnlsc to Large Sizes
The jgreat bulk of the Salem
district crop; is running to large
sizes; the wanted kind; the kind
that will make profits for . the
growers, even with, slightly, lower
arerage prices than those that pre
railed at the opening of the sea
son last year.
-. The Market Better ;
' The market looks better. There
has. arisen a purely speculative
tsmand from one quarter. It is
certain that a number of cars -of
the . 30 size could be moved right
now. at remunerative prices.
But this would break up the
size variety, and the tendency Is
to push the crop , to the markets
as It, turns: out; as a whole; but
this will favor Oregon growers,
who will have mostly large sizes
to offer from the crop that Is1 be
ing harvested. -
- The California' cooperative as
sociation ' will announce opening
prices soon ; - perhaps ' as ' early as
next Monday. It - Is .likely that
the Oregon Growers' Cooperative
association ' and other holders' of
prunes. wll soon follow It. .1

a day In' December last. ' These
are the figures for the Salem. wa
ter system.
? The Salem paper mill . uses
about 1 0,000,000 gallons of water
a day of 24 hours; averages some
thing like three times as much
water as the whole" city or Salein.
The substance , that goes into the
paper making machines at , one

comes out at " the other end of
the machines finished paper!
And a Lot of Julco
The Salem paper mill ' takes
about a third of the peak losd"
of electricity used in all Salem.
That is, in the busy eight hours
of the day, about a third of the
electrical energy distributed ' - in
Salem Is taken by-the paper mill.
But the paper: mill goes right on
taking the same amount of elec
tricity after Salem ' goes to bed,
and In the early morning hours,
when little power and light ener

The following, by Wenry W.
Kruckegerg, the well known Cal
ifornia authority, In the Los An
geles Times, will be appreciated
at Corvallfs:
. If the novice and inexperienced
will bear in mind that a sanitary
environment .and wholesome feed
ing are fundaemntal to the pros
perity of fowl .life, disease and in
jurious ' Insects will seldom be
come a menace, tit is where the
houses are dirty and the feeding
is carelessly done, that trouble
appears sooner than' beginners an
ticipate it. Cleanliness in poul
try culture usually means work,
the want of which " will explain
the presence of ailing birds. It is
this class of people that the ven
ders, . fakers and quack chicken
doctors appeal to in advertising
their mgic remedies for all the
ills that poultry flesh is heir to.
A lice remedy that finds its way
to crawling things through the
digestive organs will certainly
have to do some wonderful stunts
to kill bugs via that route. And
there are others that will "cure"
any disease and remove both in
ternal and external parasites that
infest poultry.,. The Oregon Agri
cultural college has "tested out
many of these wonderful reme
dies, only, to learn that they will
not erform the cures claimed for
them. Most poultry troubles are
now' quite well, understood, and
the literature treating: on fowl
ailments and remedies is so exten
sive that really every breeder, by
a little application.' can master his
veterinary problems without re
sorting to the purchase of John
Doe's Elixir of Hen Life, nor to
Richard Roe's world famous Magic j
Blue Pills for emaciated cock birds
and 'pal.' pink-faced hens.' Feed
right, house and yard right, and
"keep down" crawling things, and
the chances are your , birds will
cackle to scorn the use of these
advertised panaceas that burden
the columns of the poultry press.

splendid management. .
Major JF.ZW. Leadbetter, the
president of the company, has
spent bis whole active life in this
field, : first in I the operation, and
later' in the general management
and financing of paper mills.
Charles K. Spaulding, vice
president, has realized his dream
of seeing , in Salem, his home city,
a great paper mill, and one with
substantial reasons for . its entire
success. These two men were
the moving spirits at the inception
of the enterprise. Mr. Spaulding
has been interested in wood work
ing plants ever aince he was a
very young man. . He furnished
large supplies of pulp wood to tha
Oregon City paper mills long be
fore he. became-actively interested
in the Salem plants that bear his
name.'. lie knows" all phases of
wood ' working, from the trees in
the forests to the finished pro
ducts of the various-concerns with,
which he Is connected.
He is still young In years and
ambitious . in spirit, and, while his
activities have already conferred
upon Salem and the Salem district
enterprises using immense quan
tities "ot raw materials and em
ploying many hundreds of men,
it is predicted that, he Is to be

development of these .chosen lines.
He baa not lost his ambition, and
his vision is still active and clear.

FEED FOB HIE IBIS
WHEAT AS A BAS
For years prior to the war,
wheat was considered the , best
single 'grain for poultry, and
when the price was not too high,
it is quite safe to say that this
grain (and its by-products) was
the basic food for chickens on the
average poultry farm." in this
country. When the price began
to soar, it was soon found that'
Its continuance was unprofitable,
resulting in the feeding of other
grains', such as corn and. milo.
During the past few 'months there
has been a constant' decline in
the price of: wheat, : until , it ' has
reached a level at which the poul
try farmer and livestock ' grower
can . afford to use It . much as it
was fed a decade ago. . In wheat
food elements : are .combined - in
nearly the: proportions demanded
by the system: of fowls, hence its
free use at pyr prices can be com
mended. Of course it must be
clean and wholesme. Touching
on the economy ot feeding. wheat
to live stock at prevailing prices,
the United States department of
agriculture calls attention to the
fac( that corn and wheat are. the
two best grains for poultry and
are about in equal value for this
purpose, although wheat can be
fed alone better than corn, which
is inclined to be fattening. Best
results are obtained when wheat)
and corn are combined equally in
egg-laying rations. Following is
a good . scratch mixture: One
pound cracked corn, one pound
wheat, one pound of oats. As to
its . present profitableness one
reads that wheat at 90 cents per
bushel (which was the approxi
mate current price . recently .ln
Beven middle western states)
equals " $29.6$ per ton, being a
lower price than prevails for var
ious other foods having no jgreat
er nutritive value. During the
colder weather "of onr winter
months wheat alone may fall to
generate sufficient heat in the
system, when the ration may well
be dominated by corn, and in
warm weather more wheat can
be used advantageously. In the
wheat growing states the opin
ion is not uncommon that at pres
ent (September -11) ruling prices
wheat will: bring a better return
to the farmer when fed to live
stock, than when sold -In the open
market. , ;;
The big advantar?s of growing;
the Grimm variety of alfalfa
and it has proved a good lesurne
crop on sandy soils of western
j Oregon and some of the reasons
why it is so good a variety, are
seen in aa experiment station ex
hibit. A specimen plant from
the old original planting in Ore
gon taken from the Union branch
station shows the vigor and hardi
hood of the variety. The. fid!
there is still growing big crops of
good hay. even, though on land)
not highly favorable to alfalfa be
cause of high water table.
Specimens of Grimm roots from
the Corvallis station are more sig
nificant for western Oregon grow
ers.! An effort was made to fol
low the .root system to the end.
but time and. means of doing so
were lacking and. so. the roots
were broken off at four feet be
low the surface. Should the de
crease In. size remain constant to
the end of the root they would
evidently extend 15 to 20 feet be
low the surface.
i Grimm. second crop epeciaena
from the Burns station show tlie
adaptability of the hardy stock to
widely varying, and hard cpndl-.
tlons. Yields for the last" three
years In this -field were as. fal
lows: In 1921 the average per acre
was 7.01 tons. In.92 it was
7.22 tons, and the-iirst cutting In
1923. was 4.5 tons. The highest
yield for this period was. 8.6 tons
cured hay per acre, and the high
est for a first "cutting was C.5
tons..-,,."'". v
.Considerable 'areas in Marlon
and other valley counties are said
by the station authorities to be
well adapted to the growing of '.
Grimm alfalfa.'
