Dec. 8. (By The Associated Press.) One of the stormiest winter baseball sessions on record with Commissioner Lan dis and President Johnson of the American league as the centers of a controversy that., has gathered in or ever since the world's se ries and Dolan-O'Connell bribery scandal was in prospect tonight on the ere of the annual major league meetings. The National league at its ses sion tomorrow is expected to take the first important step by adopt ing resolutions pledging the sen ior's circuit unqualified support to Commissioner Landis, endorsing his action in handling the scandal and by inference at least,: con demning the attacks made upon the veteran jurist by Johnson. The American league's annual gathering is slated for Wednes day and there were strong indi cations that Johnson would face another fire, directed by members of his own organization. Clark Griffith, president of the Washington club " has disclosed that a majority 'of American league magnates intend to adopt resolutions s&pporting Landis and criticizing their leader's antagon ism to Landis, together with John son's failure; to attend the world's series.

Tom Gibbons, St. Paul light heavy weight and Kid Norfolk, Balti more negro, who meet forlo rounds in the feature bout of the annual Christmas fund boxing car nival at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, tonight were de clared by their managers to be fit for the fray. : Gibbons lis a strong favorite from his record of boxing skill an iron jaw reception of the best of the good men could give. Another interesting argument is seen In the matching of Johnny Wilson former middleweight champion and Tiger Flowers, a negro who has been advancing speedily in the last two years This bout is scheduled for 10 Norfolk. undoubtedly realizes, that his appearance may mean the starting of a fortune which has long been denied him. ; Possibly the Baltimore negro who has been denied competition with ! the best of the whites Is confident of humbling , Gibbons, but boxing followers . are inclined to believe that the same feet and legs which bore Gibbons so gallantly in his meeting with Jack Dempsey at Shelby, Mont., for 15 rounds, will sustain him tomorrow. Norfolk has the power and the punch; Gibbons the greatest de fense of any of the heavyweights and the heart that never faltered under fire. Gibbons and N6rfolk will enter the arena at the prescribed 175 pounds with great difficulty; the Baltlmoreaa probably w i 1 1 be down to' 174. ? . , , . ; Our food will run out in 3000 A.

Wells, Meteorolo gist, Address Charnber of Commerce Forum , Before coming to Salem Mon day, Edward L. Wells, meteorolo gist, in "charge of the Portland weather bureau, , looked over his stock and then brought of his finest models of days with him. Mr. Wells spoke at the Chamber of Comn:e-rc forum luncheon on "CHmatu and Its Effect on Busi ness." i ."Man has always failed in his efforts to effect weather condi tions," Mr. Wells said. "The eco nomic ' status of individuals de pends upon ability and environ ment, weather ' and climate being one of the main factors of the latter. There is no human endea vor but what is effected. Agricul ture, engineering, commerce, manufacturing, transportation and even the administration of justice often depends upon the testimony of the weather man j in settling civil actions, criminal cases and accidents. Some idea of the problem fac ing man when he attempts to bring additional moisture was given by the speaker when he said that, the condensation of one pound of water requires the same temperature to raise 1000 pounds of water one degree and that in order to precipitate one inch of rain over one square mile of sur face, 7000 tons of water was ne cessary.

In closing Mr, Wells said that the fire problem is one of the greatest presented to his bureau and that in spite of this year be ing one of the worst on record in regard to climatic conditions, the loss to standing timber was rela tively small. Prevention of fires and information' relative to condi tions is one of the objects of the weather bureau. Sprayless Cherries Cost Growers a Market The season, of 1921 witnessed the first real car lot business in lresh Bing and Lambert cherries from western Oregon. Halt a dozen firms of national reputation bought and shipped in pre-cooled cars - to the principal markets of America. Up until almost pick ing time no market was in sight for these so called ; "black" cher ries. Then almost overnight buy ers appeared who bought up fruit at five to six cents a pound. A small growers' pool at Salem, which decided to ship its own fruit and carry the risk of spoilage, in transit or of the market breaking, netted between ten and eleven cents, whereas the growers who refused to take this chance and sold for cash, netted from five to six'cents. ' 1.-., . Due to the successful market ing of the i924 crop manr BTow ers are . optimistic regarding "the future of the Bing, and Lambert. There is,' however, one bug In the ointment which will -have-to .be removed before a permanent cherry market can be developed. A means will have to be devised to keep off the market fruit com ing from growers ;w-ho, bfough ignorance, carelessness or cussed - ness, will not spray. Either, the cherry maggot or cherry worm, as he Is often called, must be elimin ated from our cherry shipments or our cherries will be eliminated from the markets of -the country. As It is, the great markets of California are closed absolutely against all Oregon cherries except those from Wasco I county- and from the Milton Freewater coun- . ,ji.f FOR REAL CHRISTMAS CHEER visit Fry's Drug Store and see the many novel ties you may select to complete your holiday shopping.

California quarantine regul ation number 12, issued July 21, 1924, prohibits all cherry ship ments from Oregon, with the above exceptions, and these ex ceptions have to go through many yards of red tape before they cat. be admitted into the Golden State. 1 Other markets will be closed to our fruit aa wormy shipments are discovered.! Many wormy cher ries were shipped out of Salem this summer. Most of these evid ently escaped detection or at least escaped newspaper publicity, but are bound1 to be detected sooner or later with the result that de mand will' be curtailed, i The particular cars which re sulted in the California quarant ine were shipped from Salem by a big fruit firm of national . Impor tance. Worms were discovered in three cars during loading. The company Immediately stopped re ceiving fruit, but shipped out what' was on the floor. California being the nearest market the fruit was -rushed there in the hope that the Tpre - cooling would check the dev elopment of the form long enougV to permit the shippers to unload They were detected, however, and Oregon lost a most important market for fresh cherries. .

These growers have injured their neighbors and ' themselves far more than they Injured the fruit buyer. Public sentiment alone can curb the practice of chipping in unsprayed cherries with cars carrying the carefully sprayed fruit of the honest growers. Publie sentiment, properly focus eed on this type of grower would make him as popular as a leper. - The cherry worm spray is the cheapest spray that is csed in or charding. Only a pint per tree is used, making the cost, for mat erials come to less than a cent a tree. A good sized handful of cherries will sell for enough to pay for the spraying of a tree. .'Certainly the cost of spraying is ' m . l . U 1 do e At use iur du spraying in tuts case.
