THERE IS LIKELY TO BE
PHODUGTO SAG
The Growers Must Pay More Attention to Quality, in Ex
ploiting JJew Markets With the Product fit This Dis
trictf There Is a Dangerous Disease'That Attacks the
Roots, With So Far No Sure
Editor Statesman:
It seems that the; big question
f acinic the asparagus grower of the
future are not ones of cultural but
possibly of pest control and mar
keting. Beetles are becoming more
numerous throughout the state
every year. Symphillds are now
attacking the roots of some plant
ings, practically mining the patch
In one season. ., The former may
be controlled by an insecticide, but
at the present time there seems to
be no sure control for the latter.
Another problem that the future
grower must face is that of finding
a market for his product. With
the increase In plantings soon to
come Into bearing, it seems that
overproduction is Inevitable. This
will, undoubtedly, cause a lower
ing of price that will in turn pro
duce an Increase in consumption.
It is very doubtful, however, if this
will take care of the increased pro
duction at a price which will allow
the grower a livable profit.

one or two year, plants can be
secured from anyseed or nursery
firm in Oregon, or- the plants can
, be grown from seed, but of course
this will delay the permanent set

t Planting For quick returns
from an asparagus plantation, it
Is best to fall plow the land, ap
plying a ounatlty of manure at
that time; An asparagus planta
tion should be put on land which
la somewhat sandy, as asparagus
produced early In the season is
worth more and has straifetater
stalks. The plantation should be
put on a piece, of land where It will
not be disturbed, as it will remain
there . a good many years. The
life of some of the asparagus plan
tations in the state may be twenty
or twenty-five years. The soil
should toe a rich as possible so the
- plantation may make the greatest
growth , possible during Its early
stages. Large quantities of man

Control
This Is especially true with the
present grade of asparagus that is
being marketed by the average
grower. It seems that if more at
tention were paid to the quality of
the article marketed it would be a
great help in exploiting new mar
kets with asparagus from this sec
tion of the country.
It, therefore, would be to the
growers advantage to market an
article that he Is proud of rather
than one that is not cut uniform
lengths, dirty, poorly bunched, and
is a woody asparagus. This can
be taken care of during a period
of good prices and still make a
profit, but would surely entail a
loss to change the reputation of
the asparagus from this section
during the period of low prices
that are bound to come with an
overproduction of a low quality
product.

Woodburn. Ore., April 12, 1926.

the fall but also in the spring.
If the manure Is to be applied
in the spring as well as in ine
fall It will be necessary to make
a a . Lam
a trencn wmcn win db auuut
twelve inches deep. In order that
a small amount of well rotted
horse and cow manure may be
thrown In and covered with an
Inch of soil. The crowns should
then be' planted on this, setting
them, as mentioned before seven
or eight Inches below the surface
of the soil.
In setting the crowns In - the
spring, the root system should be
spread out; not allowed to grow
vertically, but horizontally, so
that the crown lies somewhat flat
upon the surface In the trench.
These trenches are made by plow
ing twice in the same furrow and
throwing the dirt out of the dept.
mentioned above.
When the land Is In suitable
condition in the spring it should
be furrowed out so that the rows
are . four or five feet apart. Fur
rows can be made so the crowns
will be set d5wn six or eight
1 inches below the surface of
the ground.
If manure Is not applied In the
fall. It would be a good plan to
put a good coating of manure in
the trenches underneath the
crown'and then to put an inch or
so of soil on top of the manure.
setting the crowns in the rows
two to two and one-half .or three
feet apart. If the soil Is inclined
to be very rich the plants will
make an extensive . growth the
first year and later on will soon
occupy the place in, and between
the rows. Only a small amount
of soli should be placed over the
crowns after they 'are seC 'The
remaining dirt should be thrown
up to the plants as the stalks con
tinue to increase In height. Good
cultivation should 1 be given V all
summer In order to preserve
moisture and to cause the plants
to make as .rapid growth aa pos
sible. - I '
One hundred plants should be
sufficient for the use of the aver
age' family.
SHEEP BREEDERS
Tie Wool With Paper Twine;
.Brand Sheep With Paint
That Will Scour -
(The following, of high ralue
to ouraheep breeders. Is furnished,
through Clifford W. Brown of
Salem, by thai best wool market
ing authority in this country: ) v
-i- Progressive - sheep raisers rare
using paper wool twine and sheep
branding paint that will scour out
of their wool. However, the wool
trade reports : that : there : Is need
at for still more Improvements along
HERE
owners of farm flocks of sheep
are especially lax in the use of
improper fleece twine, and that
it would be to their distinct advan
tage to turn to the tfse of paper
twine. ' Wool tied with paper
twine will sell more readily than
similar wool tied with twine of
jute, hemp, or similar fibers. Frag
ments of paper twine will come
out of the wool in the scouring
process. Other twines leave bits
of vegetable fibers which are re
moved from the finished cloth by
expensive band labor.
Workers of the United States
Department of Agriculture have
observed the handicap which Im
properly branded fleeces meet
when they come before the wool
buyers. For years many of our
largest wool growers have been
using paint which will scour out
and they realize It helps In selling
their clip to the , best advantage.
One of our largest wool growers
reports a saving of 2 cents per
pound on wool that is properly
prepared. Most of the branding
paint is removed in the wool-sorting
operation by sheep shears. The
wool clipped off in this branding
paint is practically a complete loss.
Particles of paint which will not
scour out are very objectionable.
This means an increase in the
shrinkage, a loss of wool, injury
to other wool, a damage to the
finished fabric and requires ex
pensive hand labor and makes the
wool sell less readily.
Salem Men Ship to Growers
of Sister State; Car Load
This Year
Weeks & Pearmlne have for
several years been supplying Calif
ornia growers with asparagus
plants, produced in the Salem dis
trict.
They supply them on contract
thaj. is, they are sold before they
are planted.
They have out now ' enough
plants to make up a car load, to
be shipped this fall. They shipped
a car load last fall. The mem
bers of the firm are W. H. Weeks
and Lester I. Pearmlne.
The asparagus plants, which
they send to California are about
equally . divided between the Pal
metto and the ArgentuL - These
are canning varieties.
Mr. Weeks told the Slogan man
recently that, for Willamette
valley conditions, the Washington
(green tipped) variety is much to
be preferred over any other.
CAI
The Oregon Agricultural col
lege three years- ago prepared for
E. E Settlemier ot Woodburn - a
recipe for canning, asparagus.,, Mr.
Settlemier says that the best time
tor home canning is usually in
May. as later when it Is dry and
hot It Is more inclined to be seedy.
Following is the recipe referred
to:
"It is of the greatest import
ance that asparagus for canning
be fresh and tender. Select tips
of unifonri size and maturity and
wash them well. Cut in right
lengths for the Jars and tie in
bundles. Blanch by immersing the
lower ends in boiling water for 2
minutes, then the entire, stem .for
2 minutes longer. Plunge into
cold water for an i instant only;
drain and pack carefully into glass
jars or enamel-lined tin cans, with
the tips up. , Fill' the jars, with
brine (4H ounces salt to 1 gallon
of water.) i -"r "' y : . U
"Put the rubber and cap ot the
Jar Into position and partially seal.
(With the' vacuum, seal Jar, put on

at the Central Hotel, and now they
were in the Ingate limousine.
speeding toward the MacLairie
home, after which the Wales resi
dence was to be visited.
They were both nervous about
these Impending meetings with
parents. Both feared scenes. And
this was what they were thinking
about, not each other.
"Let's stay only a moment at
each place. That'll give us an hour
to drive to WiHoughby and get the
train there. -Then there won't be
any damned mob being funny. . ."
It was the first time he had ever
used an oath in her presence, but
she. didn't notice it.
Her answer was to snuggle more
closely to him. grasping his arm
the tighter. "I don't care what
they say. Do you? Oh, Clay, I'm
so happy."
He patted her hand, but still
frowned. He looked not at all like
a husband of two hours. In Justice
to him, however, it ought to be
said that be was uncomfortable,
abominably so. Given his own
clothes, instead of these "formal,
alien garments he wore, he would
have been a better man in all like
lihood. There arose at that moment the
necessity of directing the chauf
feur to the MacLurie residence.
Eve was conscious ofthe curious
gazes of the neighborsas the car
stopped before her house and she
got out. with Clay awkwardly fol
lowing. The neighbors, havInS
rot a elimDse of Eve's dress and
Clay's unique formalness, . now
stared. To add to their distress.
they had to stand on the porch for
minutes while Eve rang and got
her mother's attention. The door
was opened to them slowly.. ...
"Well, mother, here-w are
Eve exclaimed; forcing her parent
Into a hug before the other had
time to prevent it. After at mo

Mrs. MacL.urie gave no Indication
that she intended to respond. Eve
went on: "Haven't you any blesar

ought to give Clay a good buss

Clay's eyes started; he tjiougn

"I knew how much men like

Clav. not sure sne .wasn i en
deavoring to -be agreeable, smiled,
and received from Mrs. MacLurie
a glance that chilled him.
Eve's spell of happiness was
too great to be subdued. Without
giving her mother's tone a
thought, she ran gayly up me
stairs. - "I'll be right down. Clay.
Mrs. MacLurie: sat: down oppo

"Why. er I guess we'll be with

haven't decided."
"HnmpW"
"I guess we'll take a house of

convincing and lapsed Into silence.

be understood that we distinctly
opposed this hurried marriake."

She met cold lips when she
kissed hef mother, but Mra. Mac-
Laurie changed once her daughter
was in her arms. Hugging her
tight, she kissed her daughter
again and again on the cheeks.
"Goodbye, my little girl, goodbye.
. . ; You. Clay, you must take
good care of my little girl." She
had broken down completely. ;
Eve hesitated, then went to her
mother. "Please ,"
Mrs. MacLaurie waved her away.
"No, go. I'm all right. Goodbye."
And so did mother and daughter
part.
The automobile was no more
than on the way to the Wales bun
galow than Clay took Eve's hand
and asked, "Have you thought any
thing about where we are going
to live?"
His bride appeared hurt. Plain
ly, he himself had made no plans
in that direction. She had been
depending on him.
Clay, noting that look In her
eyes, hesitated to go on. "I thought
we might stay with mother until
we had time to look around."
"We want a house of our own,"
Eve stated, as If making an obvi
ous observation.
"I don't know; I suppose so."
Clay's indecision troubled Eve.

someone " else's house? "We can
