VALLEY PACKING COMPANY fSE Hadley Hobson Says They Wre Brought There by a Peddler of the Plants . Editor Statesman:- . - A few words about the Ever green . black berrlea: A" few day a ago I read In the" Oregon States man quite an article about Ever green blackberries. In that arti cle it said that they were an acci dent, like the Loganberries, and it was not known when the firat seeds were dropped In the neigh borhood of Salem. I will tell what I know about the first Erer preen blackberries in and around Sublimit?-. Marion county. Oregon. Id 1870 a man came through that part of the county. lie had a box with an' Evergreen potted In; It and a small glass jar of the ber riH lie was Bellini? plants for future delivery. (Being then a smalt-bey ,of 10 'yearn I ftia't know what nursery " or where It was located that he represented. Mr father; Uadley Hobson, Sr., bought three plants at one dollar each, and only one of them lived and ft was several years before it amounted to anything; and then people tor mile.s around were beg will be put iuHhe same box. ,lf the two could be indiscriminately mixed and then canned or shipped in that fashion, the method of putting one limb and pollenizer to a tree would be practical and the best method of placing pollenLers Grafting the rollenizers - One 'difficulty encountered in grafting In pollenizers in the old er trees has been the development of heart rot. In many cases very large cuts have been made so that the wound would heal over yery slowly, allowing the entrance of the heart rot fungi. At the present time it seems best to limit th grafting1 to those cuts not more than 2 to 2Va inehes in diameter, and wherever possible to make the cuts much smaller. This means, of course, many more grafts to set into a tree, but it also acts as an assurance against the rooting of the tree. With some of the older trees, it would be a difficult or impractical probWm to work over a whole tree, and in those cases putting in a few limbs to the tree win probably bet -he only solution. In that case the selection of the variety most widely different from the tree in which it is being, worked would probably bet he best way of hand ling the problem. For Individual Growers As it is now, the question of cross pollination comes down to the actual testing of the individual trees or varieties. As the experi ment station will be unable to test any large quantity sufficient tor-working over, all the older Orchards for propagating material for the newerrehard9 .It wil In many cases come down to t question of testing .by the Indi vidual growers. It is often the cases that the Royal-Ann, Bins and Lambert will be found grow ing with a single secondary vari ety, and all of them bearing well Where this is the case, the secondary varieties should be used regardless of the name.

RDW5 OF LAMBERT CHERRY TE(EES A MILE LONG IN Putting Out Twelve Thousand W . - ' . . - 224 Acre Tract in the waido Hills a Half wine tast or MarlMv When Orchard Is In Full Bearina It Should Turn Off Five Cars of Cherries a Day Through Picking Time Some , of the rows of Lambert cherry trees being set out by the Lambert a Orchards Incorporated are nearly a mile long, and straight all the way; absolutely. There will be about 12.0(H) trees in this orchard, every one a Lam bert, and the orchard will oceupy 224 acres. Nearly half the trees have been set out, and the rest are going out asfast as a large force can finish preparing the ground and do the work of plant ing. The heavy rains of the past few days have somewhat slowed down the planting' operations, i A Beautiful View This 2"24 acre Lambert cherry orchard, the largest of its kind In this part of the country, if not In any country, begins a half mile east of Macleay. on the paved county market highway. The land lies high, overlooking Salem, Mt. Angel, Shaw and other cities and towns, and with five mountain peaks of the Cascades in view: Hood and Rainier and St. Helens and Jefferson and the Three Sis ters. It is "Waldo Hills land at its best. It was so recognized in pioneer days, for the holdings of the Lamberta company are part of the donation land claim of Wm Taylor, taken up in 1843. It was sold to the orchard company by Harvey Taylor, and he himself has some of the stock of the orchard company. Ksporienced Orchard Men Experienced orchard men head the comparfy. O. K. Brooks is president, Hon. Lloyd Reynolds vice president, and George Vick doing excellent work in pollina tion, and until the ideal varieties are located, thU will form one excellent source of propagating wood. Any individual grower can also test his own material If he cares to. In this the Royal Ann, Bing. or Lambert flowers can be sacked with ordinary paper ' sacks just before the blossom open. Then take limbs of the blossoms of the tree to be tested as a pollenizer, and keep in a roon away from insects. When all. the flowers are opened 4of both varieties, open up the sack and carefully rub the poll en iz ing limb thoroughly over the blossoms enclosed in the sack. This is a rough wayr of carrying on pollination, but over a period of years has shown that it will give at least half the per cent of a careful band pollination. This is a quick way of testing on the work and wni iurnisn propagating wo'od, so that any person can bej sure of the material he is using. 1 - - LOAITS Ma4 Oa Good City Property Tjtrm trnf, aajy piyment pUa; aU pats ay and of jretr.

Why They Hope The capital stock of the Lam berta Orchards Incorporated is all subscribed. Oh what do the stock holders base their hopes for pro fits, on their investment? The leaders among them bare been pooling their Lambert cherries the past few years, and shipping them in cold storage to New York City and other bljr cities. They have been" going under the MARION BRAXD, of the Salem Rlack Cher ry Growers, association, and they have received, net here, as high as ,8 cents a pound for their cherries. They averaged about 13 cents last year, and 17 cents the year before.

In all that twelve years, the smallest year's profits on hi3 Lamberts was $300 an acre. He received $9300 for his Lambert crop from the six acres in 1920. and $8C00 in 1923.

Mr. Vick is some thing more than a dealer in auto mobiles and tractors and trucks and radio outfits. He is a farmer and fruit grower, and he thinks a good deal of the time in terms of what would be good for the farm ers and fruit growers of the Sa lem district, and therefore good for Salem and all people in any way interested in Salem's contin ued growth and prosperity. The Slogan editor has no au thority from Mr. Vick to tell what is on his mind, since he is obliged box more than the growers at other points, like The Dalles, have been getting, net, for their black cherries. Those kind of facts make the stockholders of this big orchard company hope for great things when they get their trees into full bearing. They know, however, that there is more to the proposition than merely getting land and .setting out trees and then going to sleep till the fruit trees begin to bear. They knew there will be care ne cessary all along the line; and especially when bearing time comes. There will be spraying, especially. The price of good Lambert cherries is e t e rln a vigilance. There cannot be success without working and watching. The man who looks for an easy job in the cherry industry, and more especially the blnck cherry industry, is foredoomed to failure. Mr. Brooks is now setting out ei'ht acres more of Lambert cher ry trees on his own place. He tloes not expect to see the growing of the highest quality Lambert cherries over done. tlllll!

Walnut and Filbert Slogan For one thing, he is thinking of starting a walnut and filbert slo gan something like this: "Walnuts and filberts on every, farm," or "Walnuts or filberts on every farm." Mr. Vick has not made up his mind yet as to T whether this would be the best major cam paign he could carry on as di rector of the department of agri culture of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, but he is studying the matter and asking the advice of experts. -.: :-. If he comes to the concusion; that this is the biggest thing that could happen to the Salem district j he will attempt to get the support of the other chambers of com merce and commercial and com munity clubs throughout the Sa lem district, in order to put over the idea in a large way. "Would Not Be Missed It is argued by the people who favor walnut and filbert growing as a major effort for this district that there is scarcely a farm in all this section en which there is not a small tra"t of ten or five acres or less that would, with the proper plantings and cultivation, produce a successful walnut or filbert orchard; and that the land would not be missed while bring ing such an orchard to the bearing stage only four to five years for filberts and seven to nine years for walnuts; after which the trees may be counted upon to produce enough to at least carry them selves with an annual increase for an indefinite time. And strawberry or other fillers may be used while the orchard in either case is being brought to thej bearing stage, in the rases tfj those farmers who cannot spare even a little land out of profitable use for a short time. If there is a better slogan, no doubt Mr. Vick would be glad, to I have suggestions along that line. This is a land of diversity, and there are many industries on the land that ought to be pushed.
