(From yesterday's Portland Telegram.) 'Your grocer asked youitoday 40 cents a pound Tfor good Oregon walnuts. Fifteen cents to the groAver and twenty-live cents to the consumer would be a fair market price and distribu tion, if we had enough "walnuts. These prohibitory high, prices would not prevail if we' had half as many walnuts as w e could easily raise. , "A recent Free Lance writer advocated the copious planting of walnuts all over the state, until the state shall have become famous as the ' Walnut State..-with walnuts : growing on every hillside, along every highway and in every door yard. He would .anake the nuts on the roadside.rows free to all passers by "The so-called English walnut is generally 'conceded to be the best nut on earth. Oregon grown nuts of this kind are the best , of all. Any householder who can spare a plot thirty feet square in his yard for the growing of a prolific, well shaped walnut tree will find it pays its ground rent most generously. One can hard ly go wrong in planting a good walnut tree. i i 1 ; - "But walnuts do not come by simply planting walnut trees. The easiest part of growing any kind of an orchard is the plant ing.; " You cannot cast a walnut into the soil, turn your back for a season, then turn around and 'pick your lapful of delicious nuts. The walnut tree needs cultivation: as does any other kind of a bearing tree." - ' i Where does, the Portland Telegram get thedea, given out in the above; that 15 cents a pound to the grower and 23 cents a pound to the consumer would be about right for Oregon grown walnuts of the best quality! That would mean only 12 to 13 cents a pound for California's best ' budded" brands, for the Oregon grafted Franquettes are worth 2 to 3 cents more in the markets, and hi actual value, than California's best 4 - "TAnd the. Telegram's editor will not be able in a hurry to con vince the California growers that they should sell their best wal "nuts as low as that. However, there would be good money in Oregon walnuts even at 15 Cents a pound to the grower, if the price could be stabiliz ed, year after year, at that prices- i But Oregon growers of grafted Franquettes are not likely to be obliged to accept such a low price for a long, long time; and,; ' Whatever the ruling prices of walnuts in this: country, Oregon . walnuts will always sell at higher prices than those; produced elsewhere m this country and perhaps any: other country, , t, Counting western Washington also in our territory.) ! '? No, walnuts do not come by simply planting walnut trees. i They must have the right soils and proper cultivation; and they must also have poll enizers " ,,t But after walnut trees are once thoroughly established in" the right locations and surrounded by the proper conditions, and given a little age, they will come as near taking care of them-i selves as any other tree that grows, with the possible exception of filbert trees. . And we are not likejy to have, in the next 50 3'ears; too many ;alnut and filbert trees of the right varieties' and with the pro per pollenizers. and in the right locations, in the Willamette val ley; or elsewhere in Oregon or Washington. . u" Advance of prices in both wheat and com during the past ten days has been further evidence of gain in. agricultural pros perity, and there is a good deal to show that the end ofithis movement has not yet been reached," says the current bulletin of Henry Clews & Co.. Wall street authorities. That sounds good Listens well to all the farmers of the Salem district and to all the other people here. ! ; - . yaftaasajssssassasssasasaasasw : : - - f ;., . . . 2' J i: Troutdale, Oregon, eelcryhas once more won first prize at the national vegetable showbeating the famous product of the Kalamazoo. Mich., district for the third time. The Labish Mead ows gardeners, near Salem, grow as good a celery ; as Troutdale produces, and they market about thirty times as much of it. They send their celery as far as Birmingham, Alabama, competing wtyh Kalamazoo's best. And they receive a dollar a crate above the price paid for California s best. So we ean say without stretching the truth that we grow the best celery in the world here in Marion county some 250 car loads of it annually for outside markets ; and going to raise 1000 car loads a year soon; and: be still "going up. . The Oregon Statesman is in re ceipt of a very interesting book let which gives the text of the exchange of letters between John Li. Lewis of the Mine Workers' union and Warren S. Stone of the Locomotive Engineers. The lat ter organization owns three mines and a strike Is now on. Lewis represents the miners. The let ters disclose that when employes become employers they follow precisely the same tactics as their predecessors. "Since April 1," Mr. Lewis writes Mr. Stone, "the men em ployed at your mines have been engaged in a strike, due to the fact that the Coal River Collieries company has refused to renew Its agreement with the United Mine Workers of America. VWe want to run a union mine. and expect to run one if we run it at all," answers Mr. Stone, "but It is impossible to do so when the non-union fields around us can produce coal so much more cheap ly and have a monopoly on the en tire market. If it comes to the point that', we have to pay Is cents more a rton than we ' can sell the coal for after it is loaded on the-' -ears,' without even consid ering any return for our investt ment and without taking care of our overhead, we ahe up against a serious problem, and I think you must realize it." Mr. Lewis replied: "The ques tion of: efficient management and low-cost production to enable you to remain in the market with com peting coal companies is one that must be dealt with by your cor poration. It is a problem that forever confronts one who' elects to become a coal operator." The union man as employer re fuses to pay higher wages than are compatible with a profit. On the other hand, the union man employed by union men refuse to take .any responsibility for: the profits of the concern. m;e a society There is an Oregon agricultural society. It seems to be the relic of aa organization that was started ia I860 with 100 members and now has 28. That is a noble so ciety In an historical way, but what Oregon needs is an active, energetic and enthusiastic agricul tural society in the year 1924, and to be on its toes every minute from that time, forward. ; Oregon is missing a lot. The agricultural society could do a work that is not being done. The ; OAC is doing its beet and we are for it, but there are things that an agricultural society can do that it is hot doing. We do not have the-statistics we should have. We do not have the men actively In the ' field for this work that We need. Oregon Is Just finding it self and" Oregon needs to look carefully after the agricultural de tails. Such societies have been found invaluable In other states and they have been a great help la state building. - . , Oregon needs direct agricultural t!eve!-jf!nent. - - There i3 a .work separate ; body.- : A secretary of agriculture is just as Important for Oregon as a state as a secre tary is for the United States as a nation.. We: wish there was some way for Judge d'Arcy to make his society function today, open it for every resident of the state of Oregon: and do this crop work which is so necessary. It is true that the government Is doing lot, but we heed our own organ! zation. " FUXNIEIJ THAN KVEIt ; The . Corvallis Gazette-Times takes exception . to the Oregon Statesman on a the primary. No matter what ia said we deplore the fact that certain Independent interests tried to use the primary in Washington. Under the old convention system the caucuses would ;be packed with the same set of fellows that go from ward to .ward. , This has been- done thousands of times In America. The primary is not; perfect, There are defects in the Oregon primary'law- but It Is so far ahead of the old convention rystem that nobody with any politk.il interest wouia nrri.to return to. the old EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE The Peerea" Pamscl With fury flashed her. coal-black -: eyes; .:? . . j Her bosom rose and fell ; 'Twould take a dozen stanzas This maiden's wrath to tell.

It is a splendid building and testi fies the interest Salem has in edu cation, i Our educational Institu tions must be' made attractive. They must be made attractive that the children will learn to love them. A child educated in a build ing should love- that building. They do so If the building Is a work of art. In the churches they are : getting to have magnificent buildings In order to keep the In terest of the attendance. People love . to worship In beautiful churches. Likewise children like to go to school in beautiful schools. The citizens of Salem want the children to hare the very bestand they are getting it. That is the fine thing about it. TO CAPTURE THE COUNTRY? , Is it possible that certain United States j senators have set out de liberately to capture the country? Senators La Follette and Wheeler are raanhig for president and vice nresident'tin the issue to curtail the power of ? the supreme court. If they should be elected would It also mean that they would min imize the offices of president and vice president and make them sub servient to a clique in the United States senate? ONLY IN THE NORTH ; Perhaps you have noticed! that Senator La' Follette Is not mak ing any campaign in the south He is going into, the states where he thinks he can hurt the repub licans the worst. In any state where he believes he would draw from the democrats ho very care fully avoids. This ia more than a coincidence. Flaming Youth She MKst Have Been 111 The handsome young doctor had been called to attend an attractive yuong woman. He entered tne young lady's home expecting to find her suffering from some mild indisposition, but the moment that he was there he realized that he had made a mistake. Obviously the young woman was seriously ill. Her hair was not combed, one of her eyebrows was crooked, and the end ot her nose was shiny. ; L. B. B.

THE LAST CARD "I was going to say," Mr. Par f inkle's housekeeper lifted1 her chin, "I was going to say I was a bit Borry to quit your service but being as you have called my in tended a goat, my feelings has al tered." t Parfinkle sighed, i "Ellen." he said, "Nobody in the United States can cook pancakes like you. I ad mire the quiet way you have of running about your duties, but as much as I treasure you as a house keeper, I would not stand in the way of your happiness if I thought the man worthy. I repeat, Rufus Twigg is a goat and you'll live to see it." . "I gave notice for two weeks from today and I stays by what I said. If it hadn't been I'd worked for you so long that; I know how to take your peculiarities I'd quit on the minute. Rutus is no more of a goat than you are." "Two weeks," said Parfinkle to himself when she had retired to the kitchen. "I have Just two weeks to change her mind or show up Rufus in his true colors. Well, I'll have to start at once." It may be said for Mr. Parfinkle that his thoughts were not alto gether selfish. The 'whole town. except for Ellen, knew Rufus Twigg as a fat and Indolent man who saw in Ellen a good cook and the possessor of a savings account. Rufus had been calling at the Par finkle house for a year, had smok ed the Parfinkle cigars and, at last, when the box was locked and Parfinkle had displayed frank en mity, had proposed.1, . "Mr. Twigg,",jParf inkle started in on his campaign : early next morning,: "is the man who eats a great deal. I have an idea he will demand that his wife spend most of her time in the I kitchen and that the grocery bills will be high." I ' . "There is nothing jl like better than cooking," the housekeeper re plied, "and nothing I see through easier than your tricks." Parfinkle checked off the first attempt as a failure and was more careful with the second. "Ellen, you are a trusting girl," he began, noting the response giv en the designation, "just the sort who could be fooled! by a design ing man." He lowered his voice and tried to speak as a father. "Have you never noticed that. Ru fus is wild? He stays out nights, he But Ellen laughed. "If Rufus is wild," she observed, "I'll tame him. And I may add without meaning impertinence, that you are not coming up to ex pectations. Very ! clumsy and crude, I calls it, trying to belittle a man like Rufus I behind' his back." ' i Parfinkle kaew she was right. He had gone at this thing wrong from the start. Because this wom an had respected his opinion in the past it did noti follow she would listen when Rufus was con cerned. He would have to find another way, The next day Parfinkle ;was humble and resigned. "I have de cided," he said, "that I am getting old and crabbed. You will notice the cigar box is no longer locked. Invite your friend to call in ray library. I will make amend and some day, who knows? after you are married you may Invite me over for a feast of your pancakes." Parfinkle looked sad and Ellen beamed. "There, now," she said, "you are talking like the regular gentleman what I know you are." That evening when Rufus ar rived to pay court within reach of the Parfinkle cigars, he , found Parfinkle setting up a stereopti can. .. "Just a minute," Parfinkle said, "I have a new purchase here and some interesting slides, I will bother you but a moment but I'd like you and Ellen to see these pic tures." He hung a sheet on the wall, pointed the lantern, arranged seats for his audience, and turned off the lights. The lantern threw a shaft of light across the room while Parfinkle, altering the fo cus, made the bright circle on the sheet expand and contract. There were ; but a few pictures, then he turned the lantern, throw ing the beam fair upon the' face of Rufus. j It was a fat face, bald at the top and peaked at the chin with a sparse and pointed beard. Rufus faced the lantern, blinked and turned away so 'his profile was mercilessly in view. The light pierced the pointed beard and showed - the outline of face be neath. Parfinkle turned out the lantern, clicked on the lights, and departed. , J Next morning Ellen served pan cakes for the first time since the argument had started. Parfinkle knew there was something on her mind and was content to wait, f "You think you're smart," said Ellen, "and I guess you are,' Any way you won on your last card. I'd never marry a man with a chin like that and I guess you knew it." ' 1 "Ellen," said Parfinkle blandly, "these - are 'the best pancakes X ever ate." , i D COMING TO SALEM )r.
