Salem "has many thing that

her residents owning their own
homes, and the other 37 per cent
are thrifty enough, to know that
property which Is kept up and
beautified will either sell or rent
to better advantage. .
,Salem folks grow less potatoes
In their parkings, and less cab
bages in their front yards, than
you will find in most other towns,
not because the ground won't
produce them but because It is
too valuable for. other purposes.
Salem's service stations, situat
ed on the most prominent corners,
are spending' considerable money
in making their places of business
look attractive with paint, shrub
bery, and banging . baskets. It's

Salem has got the habit (and

Salem property owners when
deciding the , momentous; question
"what to plant" on a small plot
of ground generally decide on
flowers rather than vegetables.
Salem gardeners are proficient
pruners. Very seldom does one

to Its owner, However there are
numerous branches over the side
walks which are so low that they

BULB BUSINESS I SALEM SECTION
: Mies o;i n sums ins
Salem Now Has Three National Advertisers in This Field
1 Shipments Going to Every State and to Far Countries
Bulb Growing Here Must Be Individual or Family
Matter, and Expensive Stock Must Be Grown to Have
Success
(By D. n. rpjohn. Gladiolus
CSrow"r.)
During the past year tbe bulb
business in the Salem section has
taken on a surprising - impetus.
Predictions made a few-years ago
that Salem would some day be
come nationally known as a bulb
producing center are nearer to
fulfillment than many of the
prophets . themselves know. tAt
least three bulb farms either immediately-
in Salem . or within a
few miles of it were nationally
advertised this year and doing
business on a national basis. These
are the Oregon Bulb company, Mr.
Lloyd .Weeks, .of the River, road,
and our own business, the Upjohn
Gladiolus Gardens, operating in
side the city limits, i Probably Mr,
W. C. Franklin of Polk county
should also be included in this
category. , Mr. Franklin has a
rapidly increasing acreage of high
class tulips and daffodils. .
Our own success in our first
year of real national advertising
has probaly been duplicated by
the others. Our. bulbs already j
this year have ben shipped to buy j
ers in every state in the uion,
nearly every, province in Canada, !
to . the Bermuda Islands, to the
Hawaiian Islands and to our ban
ner shipment for distance . so far
attained the " Phillipine Islands.
This latter order went to a Span
ish business man In Manila, being
shipped to his mountain residence
in a summer , retreat at the ex
treme northwest corner of ; the
Island of Luzon. After reaching
the islands they were carried over
mountain trails a long distance to
reach their destination. The ship
ment had to be split: into, four
packages to meet postal regula
tions. This may sound somewhat
bombastic relative to a bulb ship
ment, but for tbe interest I think
tnav attach to the fact that bulbs
which last summer were raised in
side of the Salem city limits are
how pushing themselves toward
a flowering stage in an out of
the way recess , on , this ' distant
island in t he Pacific This fact
Is merely indicative of the ful
fillment of the dream that some
day Salem's bulbs will be , grown
around the world. 'Our. catalogues
also, on request, have gone to
points in England' and in Ger
many. - 1 . "' - : ; ;
- A Colony of Enthasiasts
Others are interesting them
selves in ' the bulb business. ; 1
might mention R. M. Cooley, mail
carrier of Silverton. The reason
for his Interest is manifest in the
beautiful little home, with' beauti
ful surrounding, which: indicate
the Innate love of the beautiful
on the part of himself and his
wife. They have naturally gravi
tated toward flowers, and his let
ter head now indicates he Is In
the business as a sideline, Mr.
and Mrs. M. J. Van Valkenberg
also of Silverton, Mr. Van Valken
berg himself 'a lawyer, are contem
plating Improving a tract of acre
age they own "with bulb and flow
erg on a rather pretentious, scale.
That lawyers love the beautiful
as well as clients is further shown
by the fact that Mr. and Mrs. V.
A. Good e of Stayton are entering
the game to some extent with
bulbs and other plants and havt
constructed a small greenhouse,
forerunner of larger developments
along that line. Lather J. Chapin,
formerly 'county agent, has had a
bulb planting of considerable size
for some years. Here in town
Mrs. W. W. Rosebraugh. Mrs. W.
Culver, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Ben
nett on the Fairgrounds road, and
Mrs. Breckenridge,. a neighbor of
Mrs. Culver, all have been Impor
tant factors in 4evelQpinjEJi deep?
er interest in bulb growing here
on a. commercial 'scale. In short
Salem 1s building tip a colony of
enthusiasts. ' ,.:' ..
An Indlvidnal Effort (
It is too much to say that Sa
lorn ever ; will become the bulb
center of. the universe. - But n
questionably the Industry, will dev
elop here to a much larger extent
than anyone 'believes possible at
the nresent time. '., ,
And those who 'have had experi
ence in the business here In Ore
gon, either "In'Salem or Portland
with whom I have talked, all agree
that its success will be mainly
depend upon indivindual effort.
Or, to be more explicit, that such
a plan as was broached by a visit
ing Holland bulb raiser recently,
is doomed to failure in this valley.
His plan waa to organize a com
pany and raise tnlips and narcisis
on an immense scale, starting with
200 or more acres and growing
like a mushroom with the wave
of a magic wand. .
The Personal Equation
Those who have had personal
experience in growing bulbs in the
Willamette valley with whom I
have talked da not dispute the
young Hollander's knowledge of
growing bulbs, but they do dispute
the economic soundness of bis plan
as it relates to this section. Labor
conditions, growing conditions, in
fact nearly all conditions, especial
ly marketing conditions, are much
different here than in Holland.
We need merely to call attention
to the many tombstones which
adorn once seemingly flourishing
apple tracts, loganberry tracts,
peach tracts, prune tracts, all
started in the glow Of youth, with
great hope and promise. In these
tracts, under community manage
ment, was sunk the savings of
clerks, stenographers, laboring
people, as well as some surplus
coin of doctors,lawyers,merchant
coin of doctors, merchants and
whoever heard The stfen 'callTThe
community bulb proposition would
go the same way, onjy much
quicker, and with no scabby trees
or folorn looking vineless poles
and wires, to bear mute, but in
glorious, testimony, to the rise and
decline of glittering hopes.
The personal equation 'enters
into the 1 bulb (business probably
more than;. In any other line of
endeavor in this district. A bulb
farm must handle scores . of dif
ferent varieties, constantly chang
ing, adding and discarding. - Each
variety ; must be correctly labeled
and correctly handled- through a
score of different processes
throughout the season. All of this
means personal supervision by
someone vitally interested. When
varieties become mixed, and mis
labeled stock is sold, business be
gins to wane.
v Is So In Holland
Every large Holland enterprise
is: a family .enterprise. It -may
have a corporate name, but It is
handled 'by a family. - Boys and
gins,, uncies . ana aunts, fathers
and. mothers, and- grandfathers
and grandmothers are all per
sonally interested. It is the life
of the family. . Hollanders en
gaged in the bulb game, talk, eat,
sleep and dream, bulbs from one
year's end ; to r the other. Every
bulb lives and Is Bhipped in a very
riot of personal supervision. .
Mr. Kunderd, one of the best
known 'gladidus "growers In "the
world, told me a year or two ago
when I visited his plantings, that
he never would grow in excess of
30 acres of bulbs. "That Is H
one man can personally super
vise," he said. "And I will hand
le no acreage to which I cannot
give personal supervision,'1 And
when I was talking to him he was
in the midst of personal super
vision of everything that was
going on among a big crew of
men. ... - '

.. It must be borne in mind that

SEASOfMBLE EMPLOYMENT IN OREG
IST M TUTMB OR PROBLEM
Fishing, Berry, Fruit and Hop. Growing Demand Large
Armies of Seasonal Workers Through Many Months
Industries Well Organized to Handle the Problem
(By EDWARD T. BARBER)
. The farms and forests are the
chief sources of raw materials
for Oregon manufacturing institu
tions;' operators using these mat
erials paying out annually $88,388
for materials; $30,277,727 for
wages to 26,683 employees and
producing finished products to the
value of $149,968,099.'
It is claimed by federal officials
in position to know the facts, that
our forests may-be so handled as
to not only produce a continual
supply but may be made to in
crease the supply very materially.
That our forests may be "farmed"
and not "mined." !
The fertility of our farms and
the adaptability to various forms
of diversified agriculture are such
that we have scarcely advanced
beyond the' experimental stage.
We have only demonstrated these
facts but not developed them. The
sky is the limit when; it comes to
estimating the possibilities of Ore
gon farms to produce Taw. mat
erials. . I ' " A.
. Based upon these facts, it is
not unreasonable to believe that
Oregon manufacturing industries
using the products of , the forests
and farms have also this unlimited
possibility of a prosperous future
'(of a size to correspond with the
availability of supplies.
The figures at the head of this
article, taken from the "biennial
report of the state 'department of
Ilor.JPlt.OAejRlready. strong
tendency In this direction.
t The employment 1 furnished by
these Industrials is fairly steady
fend well distributed throughout
the year.
f The number of persons employ
ed in the, manufacturing end of
the business, and the wages paid,
are but a very small fraction of
the number necessary to produce
the raw materials.
In the forests the employment
Is fairly regular,, fluctuating with
the market demands for the fin
ished products.
! The farm employment is season
al, but the adaptability of Oregon
agriculture to a wide variety of
products starts the season early
and each succedihg ; crop follows
the other so closely as to make
even the seasonal employment
period cover several months.
Fishing, berry, fruit and; hop
growing furnish the. chief sources
of seasonal employment.
All o f these lines are well or
ganized for providing workers at
the proper time. ; ? v
The Columbia Tiver is the lar
gest and ""most valuable salmon
fishing Tiver in the world.' , Many
thousands of persons are employ
ed during the season on the Col
umbia and adjacent waters., Port
land is the outfitting point tor a
larger number ' of the Alaskan
fisheries and thousands of persons'
are . engaged and . shipped : from
there to those fields. .The Oregon
state department of labor cooper
ates with the Association of Paci
fic Fishermen to eliminate as far
aa possible : any unsatisfactory
labor' conditions connected with
these Alaskan fisheries.
Pishing conditions In the home
waters are well regulated by Ore
son laws 'though a fish commis
sion. .-.;' -..
; The berry, "fruit and hop farms
furnish, employment at good wages
for a vmst army of workers from
early in the season until late In
the lalli Working Conditions on
these farms are made as pleasant
as possible. In many Instances en
IIS
11
tire families go to the farms for
the , season. Camp grounds are
supplied with the most sanitary
conveniences, schools are main-:
tained in many of these grounds,
for the smaller -children, nurseries
for the babies. Some of the farms
even have dance halls and picture
shows for the entertainment of
the workers. It is not unusual
for groups of college and univer
sity girls to be found . spending
their vacations on these farms
earning money for their next win
ter's schooling.
Employment Agencies
A large portion of the worker's
On these seasonal jobs are engaged
through; employment agencies.
The federal and state labor
bureaus cooperate In maintaining
free employment agencies at sev
eral points. These, bureaus placed
80,235 workers during the season
of 1924.
Oregon controls the evils of the
fee-charging employment agencies
by licensing such agencies ; and
placing them under the strict sup
ervision of the state labor bureau.
During the past two years these
agencies placed 197,092 applicants
for which they received in fees
$358,706.44. This was an average
of $1.82 for each job.
. In order to the better handle
the seasonal employment problem
a volunteer commission of promin
ent citizens cooperate with the
state labor bureau during tbe
height of the season. . . .
". The fluctuations of the seasonal
employment Is . indicated by the
fact that in January, 1924, the
free employment agencies placed
1,867 workers; in August 4,660.
At the same time the fee-charging
agencies, placed 2,8 97. in January
and 8,385 in August,
j It is certain that a very small
per cent of those engaged in
seasonal employment are placed
through either form of the agency.
Most of 'the farmers engaged in
berry, fruit or hop growing engage
their help direct.
'. Oregon has a very comprehen
sive child labor la designed to
protect children from being ex
ploited by employers of labor and
at the same-time the law is-flexible
enough to enable legitimate
employment Of children through
permits . from the state labor
bureau.
; The eight hour day prevails
generally over. Oregon and most
of the labor for wages i perform
ed under the recognized rules of
union labor, although the open
shop prevails to a very , large ex
tent in. all lines of industry.
Labor conditions are well set
tled and so satisfactory that but
few conflicts; have occurred for a
long time. About 75 per cent of
the wage .workers of Oregon are
home owners. They find .-conditions
here so favorable to steady
employment, climatic : and other
conditions contributing, to their
own health, and that of their fami
lies, that they, decide Oregon is
a most satisfactory place for the
wage earner to become a home
owner and eventually enter a busi
ness of his own. The road to in
dependence in Oregon Is a well
blazed trail paved with opportun
ity. rV,;. ;.;;. .. rw

' AROUSE THE GENII OF OUSTRY
Oregon Raw Materials Supply Basis of Industries Which
Have Attracted Millions of Capital and Thousands of
Workers Development in Its Infancy
(By EDWARD T. BARBER)
Oregon is justly proud of the
Industrial development within her
borders which has taken place in
a comparatively short space of
time. It is the Industrial position
she has already attained, together
with, a knowledge of the fab
ulously rich fields of undeveloped
resources that'form the1 foundation
or her belief In a' magnificent
future. The last bi-ehnial report
of the state bureau of ' labor re
ports that on' September 30, 1922,
there were 3725 industrial' plants
operating in Oregon subject to
the inspection 5 laws." These fig
ures do not include the many hun
dred small plants' not subject to
the state inspection laws by reason
of their operating on too small a
'scale.
Sept 30, 1924, there were 4739
plants subject to the inspection
laws and 3 58.1 not so subject. This
is a total of 5097. . This Is ah
Increase In the two yetrs of 1372,
notwithstanding that during this
period '63 plants were destroyed
by fire and 734 plants discont
inued business for various reasons.
The importance of these various
industrials is indicated by the "re
ports of a few' of the leading
ones:
Wood and wood products plants
represent a capital of $83,402,246.
Their annual output 'Is valued at
$86,258,744. They employed 20,
984 men and 508 . women,. The
total wages paid was $23833.336.
Food products ' stand next to
wood products in importance wfth
a capital Investment of $28,964,'
811. Value of output $63,709.
335. They employed 986 men
and 4,204 women. Total wages
paid $6,444,391.
Textiles, clothing and furnish
ings represent a capital of $5,420,
590,, with an optput of $7,547,763.
They employed 849 men and 1,245
women who received in wages $2,
130,033. : Metal products"- represent , a
capital Investment of $7,916,938,
with a total output valued at $12.
336,002. They 'employed " 3,586
men and 107 women.. Total wages
paid out $5,180,779.
: Those engaged in the manufac
ture 'of clay and stone products
have 'invested $3,734,967. Their
output was Valued at $1,042,863.
They employed 375 men and 1 wo

total-output of $17,879,884. They
employ 2,660 men and 254 women.
Pay in wages $3,584,613.
From the above it will be 'seen
that the productive industries of
Oregon have a capitalization- of
$174,7S5,511. Their total annual
ou'tput of finished products is the
handsome- sum of $ 18 8.7 73,6 1 1.
The number of men employed in
producing this results was 29,640.
They were assisted by 6,318 wo
men. There was paid in wager
the sum of $41,556,345.
During the year these Industrial
plants paid for raw materials
$108,177,224!
It is worth-while to notice thai
the largest amount paid for raw
materials in one line was $45,999,
596 by the manufacturers of food
products. . With a small exception
this vast sum was paid to Oregon
farmers for their fruits, berries,
grain, livestock and dairy pro
ducts. ' ''.

, The wood .working plants came
next with $42,930,792 for raw
materials. Oregon forests sup
