But theyjpacked about 89,543 cases of "thein" tlris year,-and Mariot. couiity' packed 120, 543 cases; 30 pounds to the case i'll- i"' Representing 3,61690 pounds of Evergreen blackberries. And the business is not over done; will not be-over one, as long as there is the. proper organization and cooperation in marketing, for it is the great pie berry of commerce and it can be sold jiny where in the world where pies' are eaten. v : The Evergreen blackberry is peculiarly well adapted for canning."" It "stands up' in the cans. But there is also opening a demand for this pie berry, in barrels and cans frozen berries. ,It is calculated to go in that trade with f lQgaerrieswith them in nearly 11 markets and ahead ol;thent inome v 'What is this Evenrreen blackberry! : The United States '..r. -Department of Agriculture FarmBnlletin fi43 hasdhe following: , "EVERGREEN (Blaek Diamond, Star, Wonder, Ewing -sronder,- Everbearing Atlantic Dewberry) Origin unknown, but grown in Europe 6ince 1809.

' .. Only a few years ago, the Evergreen blackberry : was; a pest, in fence corners and on roadsides. It has developed into one of the great berries of- commerce. Like; the loganberry, it was an accident. How the first seeds were carried to, western Oregon, to the Salem district; is not known for a certainty. But that the Evergreen is peculiarly an Oregon berry, .and peculiarly adapted to our soil and sunshine and showers ;in attaining perfection in growth is certain. ; i?;.'v:y A1JOUT PAVJXCJ The Oregon Statesman Is anx ious to bavQ a Large pavins pro gram put '.through the ; coming year. ' There is Just one "way : to get it put through satisfactorily, and that is -for the citizens and te couacir.tt) recognize their re sponsibility in the matter. jThe council,' so far as ire know has not 'hesitated to" assnme Its,; re sponslbllitiea, "but s there irill Come a time in the iiext few years when our poorest' pavement 'will" break down. ;. The question of responsi bility, will he acute, whereas if the The Oregon Statesman does, not belong to the class of papers that praises one day and condemns the next. We said at the start that the ordinance was, entitled t to a fair hearing, and we believe it Is getting lt .,': ,,u-'' EXIT GEORGE It has been reported -f of" nearly a year that King George of Greece has been .looking for a. chance to run away, '''Ile Vm b,een unhappy on his throne 'and unsecurq al ways. The opportunity has cornel and despite -the threats of; his council accepts responsibility i as Jrate mother-in-lais'fc.who did not the paving is laid, It will see, that all-contracts are fairly completed and that the -citizens can be as sured they will have a square deal for their money.' i ' f ? Front street, so far, is the only ona that Js really had, but there are other streets that are showing signs of breaking, we think, pre maturely. , e FORD FOll COOLIDGB The Evergreen has'nother advantage, in the long life of the vines.'.

'There, was a sug2estionin- the blackberry Sloaran. number of The Statesman of last year : ihat the J Evergreen blackberry ought to be. named the "Oregon blackberry,'1 and that it should be so, known in commerce. The snsrerestion is a. worthv one. It coald;be carried out, with the proper advertising and pusbing. an" obnoxious law. r Henry Ford is probably con ceded to be the world's greatest business man.-' He Js more; than that; he J3 -the world'a greatest Industrial geniusl lle f la more han that; he is the world's great est unofficial citizen. He is one man Who is in a position to speak with authority j on the many needs of the hour. His pronouncement in favor of Coolidge comes as near settling the question of nomina tion as one man can do. Further in the election the weight of his Influence cannot bg overestimated. : Henry"; Ford spoke timely, de cisively and finslly. He wants Coolidge because Coolidge is the man, of this trying hour. . THE PARKING OltDIXAXCB .

' Many churches have basketball courts which they will posit iori. qood types for GUARO-CENTER-fORWARd low boys to use. The ball can be purchased by the fellows-on the team, each one chipping in a little bit. Get a real good ball, rather than a half-way good ball. . When yon get together for the first practice, choose some fellow with a little playing ability as cap tain and pick out the men who will try for different positions. For center,- choose some chap who -is tall and fast on his feet. . . , I The stocky, heavier boys should try- out - for guard and the fast, slippery ones should learn how to be forwards. -Before starting any practice at all read the rules over and try to understand them. On the ' night of the first : practice; have some college or high, school player to talk to ypu a little about the game. . - ' Pass the ball around from one to ; another, speedily but not so hard that it is Impossible to catch. Do -this passing both running and Standing so as to get usedto the feel of the ball. After doing this a while, try shooting baskets and take all the time you need at first and work, up speed so . thati there is ho hesitation about the way .you send the ball toward the ring, r- - , CAP'N ZYB..
