mild winters, cultivation- begins
early In February along with the
cutting out of old stalks and the
training of the new. Farm work

Near Salem
Willamette valley.
"Picking of the loganberries be
gins the latter part of June or
early July. The pickers are paid
from one to one and one-half
cents a pound and as crops are
heavy, even children : make good
wages. - j v',s
;7The average yield an acre in
regularly cultivated tracts is about
3,000 pounds, although good fer
tilized tracts yield from 5,000 to
8,000 pounds. The average price
paid at the canneries is from tour
to five cents a pound. :
"Due to its heavy yield, the lo
ganberry is generally a profitable
crop. Many who come to Salem
and vicinity find it a better invest
ment to purchase tracts already In
bearing rather than to wait two
or three years for a commercial
crop. However, many prefer to
buy and i plant their own. Good
loganberry tracts in bearing may
be purchased within the Salem dis
trict at from 1275. to $350 an
acre, depending largely oh the dis
tance from Salem. With six can
ning plants in Salem and seven
more within a few miles, the
grower is assured of a market."

past season has been very fine, and
they are generally, healthy. There

ssssf m i s
, S. Inspected
Trump that we have still about
3000 acres of loganberries in the
Salem district, or that part of it
which lies -in Marion , and Polk
counties in market contact with
Salem. ' -l . . :. ;
He estimates that not more than
5 of the acreage was plowed out
in 192,3, and not more than 10
this year. There has been very
little new; acreage in these two
years; practically none."
He says our loganberries , are
practically all of the standard var
iety as originally discovered by
Judge Logan. We havto almost
no Phenomenal berries left.
.. About the Markets J;
In the 1924 season,; the market
for loganberries was practically
confined to the canneries. Some
of them paid five cents a pound,
and this price Was shaded to four
and a half cents a pound, by some
of the canners, and even to four
cents, towards the close of the sea
son. ' But all the berries that were
picked were' taken, and practically
all marketable berries Were picked.
The growers paid a cent' and a half
a' pound for picking, ; generally,
and th the hills and some other
localities they paid two cents a
pound for picking.
A Profitable Crop
Mr, Van Trump does not consi
der loganberries a profitable ,crop
to be grown generally and sold at
less than 6 cents a pound on the
average. . The i fact must be con
sidered that there is no crop the
first two years, and only a light
crop the third year, ahd poles and
wire are expensive. These must
be provided. ! f ,
He says the prosperity of the in
dustry depends largely on the mar
ket. Some enthusiastic local men
ate keeping the i industry ; before
the people, and new outlets are
promised, and in fair prospect;
but, at least for the 1924 season,
the market was mostly; a' canners'
market. ' It was not a bad market,
fpr yie quantity produced. But the
larger yields in normal crop years
y-ULfequire bigger outlets.
Mr. ivan Trump yesteraay ; esti
mated !taat the yield of loganber
ries in this district for 1925, ac
cording to present prospects, will
be six to eight times as large as
it was during the past season. '
What Shall be Done?
He said that the growers would
better make up their minds as to
what is to be done about It. He
said that practically the only con
siderable advances so far made in
this district towards the eventual
reduction of the loganberry acre
age has been in the cases of the
growers who have been putting
filbert trees and pear trees be
tween the rows, with a riew to
changing later from loganberries
to filberts and pears.

who didn't exaggerate the size of
hail stones.

by the Slogan editor for some
thing . on the loganbery industry
was P. E. Turner, Salem. Oregon,

Boy, it is. no use;
They're raisin loganberries. '

GOUeOHS
LIGHT, AHEAD FOR LOGANBERRY
INDUSTRY j
First, the loganberry is the world's
greatest bush fruit. :
Second, there are more ways to market
it than are available for any other fruit
Third, there are more uses, for the juice
of the loganberry than for any other fruit
JUlCe. j l j V;,- : - ! j rr-' i
Fourth', the one thing needful is to tell
the world these things ; to convince the
world of these facts
Ahd then there will be a market at re
munerative prices for all the loganberries
that can be grown on the land that is suit
able for growing large crops of these ber
ries in the Salem district. L j j
If every grower would absolutely convince himself
of the above facts, and act accordingly, resulting in
100 per cent organization, and efficient advertising
and merchandising that would follow ' 1 ' j . j
The ; loganberry industry would be stabilized at
once; and it would stay stabilized as long as there was
no departure from this program. ' (i
JURE TO
PEOPLE OF SALEM
Given in a Friendly Way By
the Secretary of the Bou
quets5 Now Society
Editor Statesman: ;
v A short time ago my wife and I
visited Salem, appearing for two
days In one of the theaters with a
music and fun act. and although
we have ho complaint to make as
to the reception of our act we feel
that we can give your town a wore
or two of advice for its owa good.
My wife has nagged me Into
writing this letter. She says it Is
a darned shame for a town like
Salem, the most beautiful town v e
have seen in i our travels through-;
out the U. S. A., to be so lacking
in a spirit pf appreciation of its
own qualities. Here in California
yes, and in Washington every
town boosts itself, points with
pride and all that sort of thing,
you know. And some, of the
towns, most of; them, in fact, are
pretty "small town stuff" com
pared to your town, where every
body seems to be scowling at him
self and dragging himself under
protest-to the. iltar of his bless
ings. - j " jj I V , : . , "
Of course we didn't stay a great
while in Salem. We were there
of a Sunday; though, and went to
church in the 1 morning (you'll
have to guess Which church), and
in the afternoon, while waiting for
our time at Mr. Bligh's showhouse,
we dropped in at a theater over on
the next block where a picture
was running. And, say, we got a
shock right; then and there. The
muisc ave It to us, because it was
real music, not the ordinary tinky
Unk' tunkly-tunk stuff. It was
made by .ah' orchestra" run by a
young woman who is a real violin
ist if we are any Judges of such
things. Which heaven knows we
should be ! after vaudevilllng
about the country for better than
ten years. ' j We've heard a lot of
'em, and we feel it sort of duty to
tell you folks that we',ye iever
heard better fiddle work any
where than j that young woman
does. ' h ""' 1 ' ; , V
We don't know the young wo
man's name, nor we don't care.
Names don't mean anything to us
any more unless they're on a check
or a contract. Only we're telling
you that you don't hear talent like
hers in the' pit of many small
town theaters. Of course it Is a
small orchestra. Four pieces, if
we didn't count wrong. Still it is
mighty good at that, and we'll bet
our next week's salaries that If
that young woman had an orches
tra of eight pieces she could make
the big town itself sit up and take
notice. f ' ' '
The customers in the eats
were not showing any appreciation
of the music. I My wife nudged
me and said "What this bunch
ought to have is a hand-organ."
You see, our years in vaudeville
have made ins a bit touchy on the
matter of applause.
But maybe it is just the Salem
way. It so,' It is all right.; But
we think it; is a darned poor way.
7 After we ;got out of this theater
we still had ah hour to spare be
fore our act came on, so we hopped
a trolley car and went out to a ball
game. Same thing there. The
home team seemed to be doing all
right, but nobody was encourag
ing them much. Now and then
some bird would let out a yip, and
the crowd i would turn and give

him the frozen look an he woul(
be in a state of embalmment for
the balance of the inning. 'Say
George," says ray wife j to : me,
"they've got the home team mist
named. They call 'em ; the Sena
tors, but they ought to call 'em
the Undertakers." My wife is 4
native of Chicago, where baseball
is baseball and the. grand stand
and the bleachers do their stuff
and do it right. You've got to
make allowances for, her. . j
; Now ddn't get it into your head
that we're sore. ' Our I act went
over good enough ' at the . Bligh
theater. : The Bligh audiences
seemed a bit different from some
of the others, but in one thing they
are like, all the rest just when
you think : you've got 'em going
you discover you haven't, and just
when you think you haven't got
'em going they blow up and' like
as not stop the show with ; theiijr
applause. Otherwise they are nor

next year when we'll j see j 'em

He- Is. Making Money on -a
Poultry Ranch of a Half I
Acre in Los Angeles
(The following, written by Rob
ert T. ; Lyans, appeared in last
Sunday's farm, section of the Los
Angeles Times:) . ' j M .
Although the old slogan, "Buy
an acre and be independent? has
become somewhat shop worn,
there are still those who i say Jt
can be done and who braveiy in
sist upon trying it. This story has
to do with a man who purchased
only ! one-half of Uhe proverbial
acre, and who has accomplished
Wonders on his small place. . j
Five years ago G. M. Munro was
a salesman in a downtown store
oni Broadway. He and his: wiije
talked it over and decided to buy
a home with one-half acre of land
in the Cudahay district near Bell.
To this place he brought ' two
hens as a "starter" in the poultry
industry to which he had taken a
liking. Before investing , - any
moneys however, he took a short
university extension, .course in
poultry husbandry, which was
supplemented with quite j a thor
ough study of all the poultry li
erature he could buy and borrow.
Theory was followed by practice,
500 chicks were purchased from la
near by hatchery in the spring,'
A deep interest in the wori,
along with proper application, re
sulted in the bringing to the broil
er stage of 92 of this brood. The
next year, a larger number was
brooded, and at the end of the
third : year ' Mr. Munro decided to
give, up his salaried ; position and
devote his whole time to the poul
try Industry. That was but two

DID YOU KNOW That Salem is the loganberry center of

are grown almost within sight of the Oregon capUol dome;
that the great canning and drying and cold packing and jam
and jelly and juice and packing and shipping plants for
loganberries are and must be centered here; that stabilizing
influences are at work that will finally make the loganberry
industry permanently reliable and profitable for the growers
and all others engaged in it; that the loganberry is the
world's greatest bush fruit and when all the world realizes
this fact there will be an immensely increased acreage in

grown' to such proporticu thai, in
addition to hatch ihgi fiU bis own
pens, Mr. Munro. hag bf en. enabled
to supply many qrflfer3' to .-custom-
era. ) '
Mr. Munro signalized his deci
sion to concentrate on poultry by
installing trapnests for his hens
so that he could check up on In
dividual production and cull out
the hens that were not making,
prof it. j " At " the , same time he in
troduced hlgh' record males to
head up his flocks, procuring them
from a prominent breeder of trap
nested high producing' stock. Be
fore a year was over the Munro
ranch books showed' that over
9000 baby chicks had been deliv
ered to a rapidly growing list of
customers. By: careful selection
of the breeding stock, with, no
forcing for high egg production,
but an abundant supply of succu
lent green feeds, the Munros were
able to hatch approximately 80.
of all eggs set. Trapnests were
kept in operation throughout the
year and the records disclose that
many hens had to their credit up
ward of 200 eggs for the year, one
hen setting a mark of 262 eggs
for the 12 months' 'work.
: This year's flock of 500 pullets
is being trapped and at the pres
ent rate show promise of exceed
ing the record of ; the previous
year. All told the flock now con
sists of 900-birds and unless more
land is annexed to the original
half-acre, the owners cannot very
well increase the - numbers. They
are positive, however, that
through their methods of breed
ing, feeding, trapnesting and cull
ing, they can secure even greater
production. Like any other busi
ness, the poultry ( line has its
glopmy and trying periods,: but
Mr. Munro says he has found if
he does his part well, the hen will
do hers. .
To the beginner, for whom Mr.
Munro has a great deal of sympa
thy, he advises that a genuine love
for the work is the first requisite
for success in the poultry business.
He says there is as much in the
chicken business as one is willing
to work out of it, and. as a part
ing shot which shows that he has
his heart in his .work be adds;,
"I can do 16 hours', work a day
here on our ranch with more joy
than I could ever find fn doing
