Smith, is cashier, has 'been one of, the largest factors in the ad rancement of the community. Being a: practical farmer as well as a practical banker, Mr. Smith bag , encouraged and assisted 1 in developing diversified - farming and dairying on a more intensive scale. His bank has a : special plan for! encouraging farmers to engage in dairying with pure bred cows, r A I The bank purchases the' cows, being as careful to select a tho rough dairy man as It; is to select a pure bred cow arranges lot the farmer ito pay half the I cream check) weekly to the bank to apply on -the purchase price of the cow. The bank finds ' this a first class loan as well as a first! class boost for the community as It adds so much to the community assets with every cow so purchased. During the past year St. Paul has been connected with the Paci fic Highway by a paved road to Woodburn. : Plans are sow com pleted to build a paved road north to Newberg crossing Uhe Willa mette river at St. Paul on the only bridge between t Salem and Oregon City, " j When; completed this, route will be the shortest. one from Salem to Portland. These improved roads, coupled with motor transportation, are .rapidly changing St. Taul territory into small diversified farming methods. Dairying, Poultry the farm now has 3.000 laying hens.

'- The Gooseberry Industry From the standpoint alike of the profits they may have on these bush berriee on their own account. and because they mesh . into the scheme of succession- which is very important tor the Salem fruit district; and because there is no other locality In the world so fav orable . to -the production of the highest , quality of gooseberries, with large average yields, the fruit growers ..in the . Salem j district ought to raise still more gooseber ries. Growers here have proi duced 9000 r to. 16,000 pounds, to the acre; and even at the rate of 25,000 pounds to the acre on small plats pt ground; selling as high as IS' cents per pound, or at the rate of I37S0 to the acre. 1 An experi enced grower: says S0Q0 pounds to the acre ie a .reasonable average expectation. . The Salem canneries packed 7000 cases of gooseberries in 7 1922. and the Marion county pack had grown, to 25.780 cases in'i .1923; "and the 1924 ; figures will - show., another big Increase. This is the leading gooseberry cen ter of the United States; will re main , so. The canneries paid 7 cents a pound for gooeeberries In 1923. and 6 and; 7 cents last year. We must develop jam and jelly plants to take care of our increas ing, acreage of gooseberries'. 'f - - Leading Corn District Our best farmers have conclud ed that the Salem district, and in fact,, the whole. Willamette valley, is ja very good corn country, that t depends upon the selection and acclimatization of seed, and upon the- preparation of the seed bed and cultivation to hold moisture during dry. seasons . 1.- ' 5 And . under the , leadership of these . men, and through other agencies, there has been a won derful increase ; in ' Corn ; growing here in the past few years . Vntll Marion - has become the first Oregon county in the pro duction of corn, and, Polk county is a close second to Marion The Salem district Ls the leading corn section of the Pacihc northwest. "There are reports of production as; high as 75 and more bushels to the acre, and good farmers ay 50 to 60 bushels ought to be common... ' -' jlesse Iluber, an outstanding' au thority, ' has raised corn' In Ohio and Oregon, and he says that, with proper seed selection, a yield as high asf the average crop of east" ern .corn can be matured here. He has raised 80 bushels to the acre near Salem. The average yield for the whole of the United States la around 24 bushels to the acre. : "There is no agricultural Inter est in the Salem district that will not. benefit from the production of still more corn, which wjll mean moye cows, .more hogs and more livestock in - general, and there fore a better chance to . keep up and improve the fertility of the land devoted to tree and bush fruits, and all other products1 of the soil. " World' Best Celery The Salem district grows the best celery In the world, Eugene celery in 1 9 2 1 took second prize at the national celery contest; and Prof. Bouquet of the Oregon Agri cultural college says the Oregon exhibitors gained a greater victory than the taking of the first, prize in 1922 at the national contest at Indianapolis, by a Troutdale, Ore gon, man- and it waa taken with celery that was grown by a man who was a celery grower' before coming to Oregon in the famous Kalamazoo, Michigan, district. The Labish' Meadow's district, just north of Salem, produces as good celery as that, grown at Eu gene or Troutdale y -. ! , Produces r the 1 best in the world ' ' Produced ' about 300 ' carloads last year ' ;: There , are thousands ', of acres of good- celery land in 'this 'dis trict s - - So' there Is a" possibility of a 15.000,000 annual crop; or a 10, 000.000 or more. " : The ' world is ' the market;' al most it is the market, or will be. for the celery fresh from the fields, with the - improvement of shipping facilities. ' For, the de hydrated celery there is no limit under the shining sun. , . 'The pioneering' has been. done. The proofs, are at hand- : It is be ing; done. . Our celery isf going to all parts o the United States. Out growers can produce celery and make it a profitable crop on wide Areas -and, 'what" is more? impor tant, they, can. produce celery of the best quality in "the' United States; which means the best in the world. They can beat even Kalamazoo on celery. They are selling their best at $1 a crate against Cali fornia's best celery. At the Louisville national con vention of market frardeners last summer, Oregon tuck first, second ari third prices oa c-':ry, and an junior " gardener against ; all ' com ers In the United States. The Spinach Industry A better quality of spinach can be produced here, than elsewhere,, and Salem la due to become me world center of ! a great spinach industry. :, 1 - . ; '-v . For the Iron In it, and for the vitamines.and other requisites in dietary schemes',; spinach Is com ing into more and' more general use not only in the hospitals but also fn the homes of this country; of. the whole world. Our spinach has; 10. Itimes fas Jnuch ' ron as carrots. . ; - -J: ; ';'':'- -1 ' There Is no f question whatever of Lthe - supplying here .' by "Our growers' of all the spinach that the manufacturers - and packers will take and pay for. It is one of our best crops, taking Into ac count that it may be followed bj another profitable vegetable crop; orven a third, on the same land the same .year. j '" -'; '. ' ";-t fes Spinach is nearly as important 19 the dietary ar milki-and-every up to. date man land woman. now knows that ; a .virile race cannot be sustained without milk." nor healthy children! raised, nor old people kept in proper condition.' One of the greatest argumehts In favor of-spinach growing com mercially in the Salem district Is the fact" that the spring crop far nishea a -cash return early In the season' when money is needed, for the . 'cultivation !of other crops. And. In the same way, it adds materially to the f net returns from any given number of acres of land under cultivation. - . ' ; ... , Thc Onion Industry - v. f ' Salem . is the ' market and man ufacturing center! of a great onion Industry; the world does not grow better onions. On our beaverdam lands. 400 sacks. 100 pounds to the sack per acre, can - be raised. The market for ten years has av eraged 1.75 a sack. A net profit of $100 an acre fSnd upward can be made. We grow the onion seta j hero for practically the whole region west of the Rocky moun tains. ' ' - " - The Potato Industry - . The Salem district leads' Oregon in potato growing. Our' growers should pay less ! attention- to the thousands of possible .newyvari eties. ' e They' should confine their growing to, Burbank, Gold" Coin and . Peerless for late, and Early Rose and Earliest of AU for early varieties. And I they should at tend to seed certification.' Wash ing ton, California and some other nearby states cannot grow, their own seed stock. Oregon growers can double their Income by grow ing seed for these states. With good seed and proper cultivation. grading and packing our growers can compete with any market in the United States. -In fact we may lead the world in the potato industry. ! Boe Keeping ' ; Salem ia i the center o( a' poten tially great bee keeping industry. Average yields of the Willamette valley will exceed those of any known region excepting southern Oregon. This can be made a verit able bee paradise; by ' providing bee pasture for" the .late summer, which can be T done, by raising more sweet clover, and scattering more Scotch , broom everywhere. Every farmer here ought to have bees; 'every orchardist. must have bees, to be sure of proper, pollina tion. And there will be big money in bees, for themselves - alone, when plenty of lata bee pasture Is provided. ; The early bee; pasture is abundant now; no better fn the world. .. - I '. - : ' i ..." . . . 3Unlng , j x ' The great undeveloped Santlam mining district 1s t just at the back door of Salem; ''the Butte City of uregon undeveloped," and "one of the best undeveloped silverlead prospects ' in this or any other country." say, good mining' engi neers.". ; v ,- b j -.; , f . ' V -'-.' The first producing mine the Lotz-Larsen mine is now operat ing its concentration' plant, and another producing : mine, the Sil ver King, say its managers, will be in operation soon. We will ere long - have here a great and rich mining camp. -i ' - . Goats Our breeders have developed a higher type of , the Angora goat than Asia.. Minor I can produce; larger. lone r .fleeced; finer flbered mohair. ' The Angora is the great standby Jn land clear ing; but he is more than worth his ' board on any - of' our lands. Practically" all fhe "chaps" of North' America are made from An gora .'goat skin tanned in. Salem. Oregon And then, too Salem is leading in milk goat breeding; which ia an Industry that is grow ing by leaps and bounds, and to destined to build up a great roque fort cheese Industry-here.' The only Roquefort cheese factory in Oregon is in Polk ! county across the Willamette river from Salem. & Ueans ' - ; During the picking season, 5000 bushels and more a day of string less beana come to Salem, to the canneries and dehydration, plant. The big .thing In' the' Salem dis trict in the line- of beans is going to be salad beans. Salem is bound to be the green bean center of Oregon for all time, and there is and will always be money ia grqw- have made money here in the dry bean industry .t. . . ' ' . raveU Roads I 's ' . . - i Oregon, is being made over , by paved r roada. :u Oregon's paved road system is the best In the WOrid it rests upon money re ceived from license taxes paid on vehicles' using traction other than horse" power, and': upon! gasoline and distillate taxes. - These taxes will retire all the road bonds and finally pay for all of the paved highways and for extending them and keeping them in repair. There will never be a direct -faxv . The State Highway department repair shops are In Salem, and: the sur plus equipment, and ': will always be; to say nothing of the adminis trative forces of the State High way, department-i-maklng a large and ' increased annual expenditure of money here from that source. And Marion county is building county market paved roads, with the county shops here. So Marion county la being made over, too, with paved highways -getting out of the mad. r Marion county has more miles? of paved roads than any othercounty . in the Pacific northwest; "more paved market roads than', any county : on this coast excepting one Fresno conn ty, Cal. Over 200 miles of paved roads are in the Salem marketing district. '.: i t " '.'; v-tV"'Head Lettuce Industry i' The head lettuce industry in the Salem district ia destined to grow to gigantic proportions. - Ex periments have been going on for some years rand' last 'year It was tried out on a considerable scale, on tbo beaverdam lands in the Labish Meadows and Lake Labish districts'. . ' Result, twenty to thirty cars, of a' nnality to command attention over a wide field. The quality was in fact so good that the .markets demanded . more and ! more, and would have taken perhaps a hun dred ears," or ... even several hun dred. -)Watch our head lettuce in dustry expand steadily and rap idly. - -, "-' Silo Center ' Salem is the silo center of Ore; gon. Every farm having livestock ought Ttoihavo a silo; a pasture under',; cover; an insurance policy against ioss. The ; farmer with livestock pays for a silo every year or two' whether he has one or not. There is a campaign on for a silo on, every farm, and there are two or three on some of our farms. We will not have enough' silos as long as there is a farm with live stock without one. : n Legumes The legumes : do wonderfully well here.; No country can grow better red or sweet clover, better vetches7 or field peas. Alfalfa doee well on some soils. The orchard ist can grow the finest cover crops in legumes: the dairyman" the best legumes. for his uses; the apiarist may raise sweet clover galore for bee pasture in short, the farmer Of this district now has the knowl edge in his noodle of . the great value of .the nodules on the root lets of the legumes and the more legumes the more life and lore and light.

The Balem district is a great grape country-for the American native varieties; for the kind needed In the making of jei- ues and jams, and for grape juice. Our people should raise more and more grapes, of the Concord fam ily. There Is good money in grape growing here.

In the olden days when farming, was confined almost entirely to producing grain and live stock, hay and feed, these farms i were developed into pros perous holdings which contribut ed to the building of a prosperous and thriving litUej city It has not onljr lived through the vicissitudes of time but has grown and prospered In step, with the surrounding 'community. .It has kept up to date in modern Drorress and : has its waterworks, electric lights and power, its mod ern schools and churches, modern business! buildlnsjs. . Prominent among its progressive possessions is its newspaper owned and edited by H. p Mars, j When! the Pacific highway was constructed the state engineers, for reasons of their own built it through the east side of the town a block jeast of the main street. Jeffersonlans were at first inclin ed to resent this as an attemnt to injure their town.; But subsequent events have demonstrated that it was a blesslnr tri thm ' town.
