l Paul is Wide Awake Town

Education and Religion
(By Edward T. Barber)
i.St..Paul,. as Indicated yT its
kanler was founded by men deTot
,ed to high ideals of education and
religion. Its central feature haa
always been its fine church build
iag. - Its public school system tes
tifies to its devotion to education.
Such pioneers build real communi
ties. They develop . natural re
sources with the same derotion
to high principles as they apply
to their religious and educational
efforts. The present 8t Paul Is
the result. " It is surrounded by a
farming community which. has be
come prosperous because of the
zeal and Intelligence put into the
work. :; Large farms . have been
te rule. These lend themselves
: ore to hay, grain and liva stock
t'aese lines have been develop
ed along modern methods 'so that
'pure; bred cattle, and high. yield
ing crops are the rule. -The ten
dency the past few years has been
to break up the large farms Into
smaller ones devoted to more di

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

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

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

'- 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 ..." . .

Our breeders have developed a
higher type of , the Angora goat
than Asia.. Minor I can produce;
larger. lone r .fleeced; finer

the great standby Jn land clear

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

' . raveU Roads I 's

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

of money here from that source.
And Marion county is building

the county shops here. So Marion

more miles? of paved roads than

the Salem district ia destined to

Labish Meadows and Lake Labish
districts'. . '

"-' Silo Center '
Salem is the silo center of Ore;
gon. Every farm having livestock
ought Ttoihavo a silo; a pasture

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

Located on the J Pacific highway
some twenty miles south of Salem

At' this point the 'valley of the
Santlam joins ' the valley of the
Willamette produeing a broad ex
panse -'i of 1 unusually fertile acres
which tempted the pioneers to lo
cate In that vicinity. 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

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
