GREAT IS THE EVERGREEN ; GROWING GREATER
as items entering into the cost of
transportation; Itcan only take
the showing of the railroads that,
their expenses are bo great that
they have to have! high freight
rates in order to j make a fair
profit. ; i
Some of these days the public
is going- to demand that its repre
sentatives sit In on all these agree
ments. ' Capital and; labor can fix
any 'price so long as it is passed
on to the third fellow to pay, but
the time is coming when the third
fellow Is going to Insist on being
a party of the agreement, and his
Interests must be guarded just as
carefully as those of the other
two. He may be outvoted at times
but the public will know the facts.
The Evergreen blackberry, the great pie berry of commerce,
is coming up; decidedly. Headed towards a gigantic industry.
Heretofore we have only caught glimpses .of its coming great
ness J .. .' ... ; ; ; "! ,
j Arid now the vision is clear and bright. I " '
;f "There is a reason;", there are several reasons. They were
more or less hazy and ih the domain of hope heretofore. They!
stand out (now. , " ; ! j
i The Evergreen blackberry is peculiarly well adapted Jor
canning. It "atands" up" in the cans. In thisjrespect it is in
a class by itself. It has a distinction all its own. Hut there is
also-opening a demand for this piejberry in barrels and cans
frozen berries. It is calculated to go in that trade with our
loganberries -with them, in nearly all markets, and ahead of
them in some. ;
What is this Evergreen blackberry? The United States
Department of Agriculture Farm Bulletin 643 has the following:
f "EVERGREEN (Black Diamond, Star, Wonder, Ewing
Wonder, Everbearing, Atlantic Dewberry) Origin unknown,
but grown in Europe since -1809. Berries large, firm, sweet,
Quality very good, seeds large. . Season late .- to very -late and
Jong. Bush vigorous, tender, productive, .deep roosted and
drought resistant; canes semitrailing, perennial in some sections,
but theyhould always be trained as though they were biennial
like other Varieties ; root at tips. One of the best varieties in
Oregon and Washington, but not generally adapted to the states
cast of the Rocky Mountains, because the fruit is small arid
worthless except in New Jersey, where it is grown considerably
with success. Planting distances, 16 to 24 by 8 feet in Oregon
and Washington, according to conditions. This variety is found
growing wild in Oregon and Washington." . 1 :
'"'.''.There you have it j . -''' . ;
The Evergreen blackberry is an Oregon and Washington
berry; and this means that it. is a western 'Oregon berry and
the Salem district , having attained the premiership will keep
jt; it will! go in ever increasing volume in cans and barrels to
the great pie centers; and in jams and jellies, to all parts of the
.world...-;.!: . ., , .: !.;'-'-
j ' The certain future of the Evergreen blackberry lies partly
in its great production, to the acre and its economy of cultiva
tion, enabling growers and dealers and factories, to put it onto
the markets at reasonable prices. ; j
; The Evergreen has another advantage, in the long life, of
the Vines. ; It does not seem to grow old. v- : . . j. 1 i . .' : ; r -'
It has produced here as high as 16,000 pounds to the acre,
and it may produce 25,000 pounds, with proper cultivation and
irrigation. ' .- ri t":V .-
There; was a suggestion in a former blackberry Slogan
number of (The Statesman that the Evergreen blackberry ought
to be named the 'Oregon blackberry," and that it should be so
known in Commerce. The suggestion is a worthy one. It could'
be carriedi out, with the proper advertising and pushing. ' (
' We have increasing reasons for encouragement concerning
this great pie berry. The industry has become a stable one, and
it can be continued as such, and there is possible enormous ex
pansion, without danger of over production. 1 ( v
Only a few years ago, the Evergreen blackberry was a
pest, in fence corners arid on roadsides. It has developed into
one of the great berries' of commerce. Like the loganberry, it
"was an aecidnt. Hovv.the first seeds were carried to western
Orgon, to the Salem district, is not known for a.' certainty. ' But
that the Evergreen n peculiarly an Oregon berry, and peculiarly
adapted to our soil and sunshine and showers in attaining per
fection in growth, isVcertainl j
Next week's Slogan number will be devoted to our great
cherry industry This industry needs attention in several ways;
especially jn the way of a highcr protective duty for our.Royal
Anns, our maraschino cherries. If any reader has suggestions,
Will he please make himself heard. This is your fight, as .well
as the Slogan editor's. It is a matter that concerns every man,
woman and child in the Salem district. J
AX OBJECT LEvSSOX
The Southern Pacific has Just
had aconference with certain of
its employes and raised their
wages half million a year. The
board provided by the government
had previously raised their wages,
but this was apparently not ac
cepted by either side. Of course
we are not saying this raise is not
Justified, j It might have been.
But we are saying that the econ
omic condition sis -wrong where
capital, and labor adjust fixed
wages that the public must pay
unless the public sits in as the
party of the third part.
- Under the present agreement
there, can be no expression from
the public as to whether they'will
accept that rate or not. The pub
lic must accept iti It Is Just passed
on to them. Theres nothing else
to do. - We clamor for readjust
ment of freight rates here in Ore-
go ' We are losing a lot of money
because we can not take our fresh
fruit profitably to market and yet
the public has no voice; In any
agreement that fixes the price of
labor, upon which freight rates
are based. The interstate Com
merce commission has no; power
to make any regulation as to
freight rates that is not profitable
to the railroads, j It has no power
to say what shall be considered

GETTING BETTER
It is a matter of a good deal
of satisfaction that the death rate
in Oregon In 1923 was 1094 per
100,000 population, ! as compared
with 1153 in 1922. (These figures
are official because they are made
public by the census department.
In Oregon there has been a de
cline in pneumonia,! influenza, dia
betes and suicide,. Oregon has
been boasting of its healthfulness
and it is mighty fine to have the
federal government statistics bear
out our assertions.;

Belle last , night for the annual
reunion and-1? responded to Top
Sergeant Elmer E. Blunk. ' Paul

called those present responded
with a toast or reminiscent topic.
In the response given by Sergeant
Rlunk tribute was paid to their
old captain, Roy Neer, as being the
best officer In the AEF, and that
he was capable of directing any
regiment or division ver n
France.
Neither Captain Neer nor Chap

count of the unpleasant weather,
which was responsible for the ab
sence of many others.
