OUR SPINACH INDUSTRY
i
-' f For the iroitirj it, and for
in dietary schemes, spinach is cowing into more and more gen
" ml, use not only in the hospitals but also iu the homes of this
" country; of the yhole world
7viU," And regent discoveries in the science of medicine and in
,v the domain of dietary science especially with reference to the
restoring to normal and the saving of the lives of under nour-
Ished children, in which the use of spinach has been found most
'"Valuable, and in fact invaluable, point to a constantly greater
" use of this vegetable iu the dietary of this country and of other
Vfcbpntries. V
' Ther should be no question of the supplying here by our
,BfWers of all the spinach needed in the local markets, and also
. j all that the; manufacturers for shipping toother markets in cans
n,.). dehydrated or otherwise, may be able to use and pay a re--trt.muuerative
price for- "
iifi'..t,-; i But it has been impressed upon our gtowers especially.,in
'' thecpast' year :r two, that the
quality in commercial quantities and with sufficient tonnage to
' make it profitable; to grow, is a specialized industry? It is like
,tt;t elery growing tiri this respect. Any gardener,- on almost any
, , kind of land found here, can grow some celery', and he,;can grow
some spmaen y .-.
rii - y6ut this does not mean celery or spinach that will self on
-quality above the market prices for such vegetables' grown else
- twliere. .This specialization has been brought to success here in
thecCase of celery and it can be brought to success, the writer
J l believes, ir the case of spinach.
"''' H is no longer necessary to say to tlie majority of 1he
"-readers of The Statesman that the eating of spinach freely 4s .a

no Constitution, Constitutional
government in this country would

GET THE PACTS'
The farmers have an unusual
opportunity to present, the facts of
their predicament to congress. The
senate has asked for an expression
of public opinion and it is up to
the farmerr to fihd some fair
course upon which all can agree,
and present a demand upon con
gress. Until there L a substantial
agreement .congress cannot afford
to act. Until there is practically
united action, the farmers will con
tinue to gej the worst . pf it
The senate -wnt3 an xpression
and it is unusual for that body to
condescend to asking! Instructions
from any iuterests, let alone the
farmers. ' . '.' , . r I
Such an overture, from, tne 8en-
ate is certain to" gain a' proinpt re
sponse. The fanners of. the Pa?
clfic northwest -have held severat
general meetings for discussion of
the wheat situation. Now is: the
time to 'go at the problem more
thoroughly through neighborhood
gatherings, Unnecessary. The far
mer ; will benefit from discussion
and fresh understanding of Uie
various schemes for relief which
are proposed." The senate will ben
efit froiu -hearing -directly the de-
cisions!trhe'mcn who raised the
grain;
Whatever
the outcome In this
instance, the fact that the people
may communicate their wishes di
rectly to their representatives
should result in much good. The
citizens, have expressed their wish
es in regard to reduced taxation
by letters and telegrams, and they
have the same privilege in regard
to other matters. That senators
have invited an expression of opin
ion on the wheat problem opens
the way to better understanding.
CAXXOT TOUCH COOLIDGE
The effort to connect the pres
ent administration with the Tea
prft Dome scandal will fare no bet
ter than to try to connect ex-Secretary
Daniels with the same scan
dal. It is certainly taking peanut
politicians to. the vanishing point
when one side attempts to hold
Coolidge and the other side tries
to hold Secretary Daniels, who has
been out of office several years.,
responsible. Coolidge has shown
his position by appointing two
lawyers outside of his cabinet, one
republican and one democrat, to
see that the law is enforced and
that prosecution is instituted if ne
cessary. The democrat appointed
is a man who was previously at
torney general and must be a
foremost lawyer. It wa's a delicate
task to make this appointment be
cause the president had to get a
man big enough to regard his legal
reputation ahead of any advantage
that might accrue to his pdrty.
The Teapot Dome scandal is one
of the regrettable things that bob
up every once in a while. Design
ing men get into office and forget
there is such a thing as a day of
reckoning. These men may run
true for years, but when the temp
tation comes, ihey fall. It must
be confessed that there are mighty
few such men in public life, prac
tically all of them respect the ob
ligation of citizenship and official
dom. A XEW AXGLE
Judge McCourt gave to his
hearers something new in the en
forcement of prohibition and
something tbat is the most effec
tive weapon ever devised by man.
This is a strong statement, but
Judge McCourt's position bears it
out.
Judge McCourt declares that the
one thing to do in enforcing the
prohibition law is to declare a con
spiracy. It can readily be seen
that there must be a conspiracy or
there could be no violation of the
law. If & man asks a bootlegger
for liquor and gets it, he ia con
spiring with this bootlegger to vio
late the law, and one is just as
guilty as the other.
Judge McCourt pointed out that
n the land fraud cases several
years, ago no progress was made
until the prosecutors, one of whom
he was, hit upon the plan of charg
ing conspiracy. The mere charge
in such instances carries its own
confession, for the conspiracy laws
of tho United States are ample.
To our mind Judge McCourt has
put his finger on the one thing
needful to enforce prohibition in
Oregon and the country gener
ally.
THE GARDEN
It is noticeable that some peo
ple are already working in their
gardens. It may be a trifle early,
but we notice that the thrifty man
is always early. Sometimes' late
frost catches him, but nearly al
ways he gets out of its way. Ore
gon is a great garden country.
The sale of garden products is
enormous, but what we want to
urge is that every home have a
gardenand that every garden ' be
large enough to take care of that
family. There are a good many
poor people in Salem this year, and
some of them are. undernourished.
If they would resolve the coming
year to raise garden truck in abun
dance, they could save enough for
other things to enable them to
pull through. Thrift is a great
thing, and, one of the thriftiest
things is to raise a garden.
XOT YET
The story comes from Portland
that there will be a decisive move
ment next year to repeal the pro
hibition law enforcement machin
ery in Oregon. While admitting
that the machinery does not work
very well, we will also admit that
the machinists are not quite up to
standard. Oregon is not going to
take a backward step in enforcing
this law. The next legislature will
strengthen the law and enable law
enforcement official!! to. get some
where. To abolish this depart
ment would be, to throw down the
bars to the boot leg gers.
GET BUSY
The farmers, of the wheat coun
try owe it to themselves, to get be
hind the McXary-IIaugcn bill and
show that they really want it. . It
has been true that the farmers
have bee a fd oa"husks because
Uiejaie3u,rll'? sron5 them

for the children of the depositor and his fellow citizens; or
construct water works or other public enterprises. Saving
also equals helping the butcher, baker and grocer to do busi
ness so that food is brought within reach of the home; and
the manufacturer to make shoes, clothing and the many
things people need to live.
Every saver, therefore, Is not only putting away money against
a rainy day and earning interest on it meanwhile, but he is
also making it possible for himself and others to have the
r luxuries, comforts and necessaries of life, to enjoy all the
advantages of a greater and better civilization. Thus through
Kanks evgry saver gains a great deal more than merely in
terest on his money.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS IN FEBRUARY
February, only two days away,
Ls a month of famous birthdays.
Already you have thought of Lin
coln and Washington heroes. But
there are other famous birthdays
in February not celebrated as hol
idays, and therefore not generally
known.
Charles Dickens
On February 7 English boys and
girls remember that it is the birth
day of Charles Dickens, the great
novelist, born in 181 2,' who wrote
bo many books that boys and girls
love to read. David Cooperfield,
Oliver Twist, Little Nell and Tiny
Tim are still favorite characters,
though the stories in which they
appear were written nearly a hun
dred years ago.
Dickens was able to picture the
unhappy lives of oor, misunder
stood children in the slums of
London because in writing of them
he was only telling of his own ex
periences when he was a starving
boy earning his living there by
tying blue labels on pots of paste
blacking.
Because Charles Dickens was a
careful observer when he was a
boy, in later year3, when he be
came a great novelist, he was able
to recall the strange characters of
the beef-shops and the wharfs and
describe them in a way that has
made them real to thousands of
his readers.
Thomas A. Edison

and inventor, Thomas Edison, was
born on February 11, 1847. When
he was twelve years old, Edison

became a newsboy on the Grand
Trunk railroad, learning,, on his
travels, something of telegraphy.
After working as a telegraph oper-i
ator at various places in the Unit
ed States and Canada, Edison be
gan to invent telegraphic appli
ances, including the automatic re
peater, the printing telegraph and
the quadruplex telegraph.
. : Edison's laboratory at West Or
ange, New Jersey, has been the
scene of a series of startling In
ventions numbering almost a
thousand. He has received many
honors froni his own and foreign
nations for his inventions. Edison
will no doubt colebrate his seventy-seventh
birthday this year in
his workshop. ' '. -
' Henry W. Longfellow
"The Children's Poet," Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, is a Feb
ruary birthday celebrity. He was
born on February 27, 1807. At
Bowdih College, In Maine, he prov
ed himself such an excellent stu
dent of literature that after his
graduation, when he was only
eighteen'years old, he was made
a professor.
Longfellow's father was a black
smith, so it was probably from
