And there Were more Phi Betta Kappa keys than hairpins. Thus has , come about one of the wonders of the day the evolution of "the steerage into the tourist cabin. No longer is the third class despised. It has, indeed, become 'stylish and intellectual the; high-brow end of the boat.' The demand for and the provision of cheap transportation is what brings about this .seemingly impossible change. The same forces revolution ized travel on land that are now transforming it on the sea. The world is fair and pleasant; and people are determined to see some of it. And they can see it economically and enjoy ably. The old conceit that high price denotes high quality ha gone to join the dodo." I The second one has to do with an impressive illustration of American prosperity and resourcefulness. There vas little building of homes in America during the war, and kfter the war there was a shortage of houses all over the I country, with consequent high rents And this sent working people back to the old American custom of building their own homes; tens of thousands of families began with a garage on the back end of the lot, which served as a home while the house was building. Thous ands of these homes were erected during evening hours and half-holidays. Building bees, once familiar in the! country, became familiar in the cities, workmen in groups helping their comrades to rear a habitation. And thus the pressure of high rents worked its own cure. There is now in most large cities a surplus of houses and apartments, and in one of the largest American cities, houses and apartments by the thousand are for rent with no prospect of occupants. .That very thing, the building of individual homes, has bech and is taking place in Salem ; though this city has always been, a city of homes. We need that spirit here. We need the humble homes. We need the workers and their families. "Last month, the Salem Y free employment office sent 1020 laborers tp jobs, and this will average about 1000 a month. We could not plant and tend and harvest our crops and take care, of them with our canneries and packing houses, etc., without humble helpers and a large proportion of these are familieV coming. here to :make a new start; students; intel-Iectuals---our future leaders in all lines of honorable en deavor. . Our industries on the land and in the city are our intel lectual steerage. THE SUGAR INDUSTRY SERIES Article 5; Does It Pay the Fanner? 1 What will the growing of sugar beets pay the farmer? That is one of the most important questions. It will depend somewhat on the grower, and the quality of his soil, and whether he can secure supplemental irrigation if or. when needed. ' -7 The land should be carefully selected, and it should be properly prepared and have good cultivation. The ultimate aim should be for the maximum quantity of sugar per acre so as to make it profitable for the grower ; 1 . .Depending both on tonnage and high sugar content. - No farmer in the Salem district should be satisfied with less than 15 tons to the acre, and such a yield would prove profitable as well as beneficial. The factory managers find it unprofitable to process beets which test less than 14 per cent sucrose (sugar), be cause the impurities prevent the sugar purities from crystal lizing fIk may be stated with certainty that we can expect better than 15 per cent sudrose; (sugar) content in the Salfcm district. . With such a beet, a satisfactory factory operation should give an extraction of about 75 per greater part of the sugar not recovered is left in the refuse molasses, a small percentage is in the pulp, and there ia a slight loss in the process. v. Some plants are equipped with a Steffens process through which the discarded molasses from some non-Stef fens plant is worked back a second time and additional sugar recovered. The advisability of installing and using .such a process is generally determined by the value .(price) -of sugar. Sometimes the recovery does not justify the expense. ; . , Beets containing. 15 per cent sugar when they e iter the plant do hot give 300 pounds of sugar per ton in the bag';, per . ton of beets.- For a 15 per cent beet, the recovery is approx , iniatcly.75 per cent T .But the farmer gets the benef i t of the tops for feed, alsc the pulp and the molasses for the same use! and the tops may be either dried or put through the silo, and thepulp also may .

At a higher selling price, more And if he grows more than 15 tons to the acrj and with a higher sugar content and a higher purity, he will of course get still more. For instance, J. J. Doerfler, Rt. 3, Silverton, in his exper imental plat last year, produced beets with 18 per Cent sugar, with 89 per, cent purity. If he had 15 Ions to the. acre, of course he was growing beets worth a good deal more than S 101. 25 an acre, with the selling "price of sugar at! 6 cents a pound And it is possible to grow and with a higher sugar content than 18 per cent. have been grown in the Willamette valley with 25, per cenff) sugar content, The success of the beet sugar industry rests largely in the hands of the growers. The big thing is to grow a large per acre tonnage, with a high sugar content and of high purity. , j e-7 J nrraTwvurvtnjyH"" THITKY-FOCR "But, Julia dear," Mrs. Hollins protested "I've already asked her. She's arriving Saturday, for the week-end. Don't you thnk, for Steve's sake, we ought to be as nice to her as we can?" "For Steve's sake I think we ought to know all about her her past, if she has one. What was she doing on that boat, travelling from New Orleans, alone?" "Why she'd been visiting friends, out on the coast, Steve told me." "Humph!" Julia muttered, un convinced, and made up her mind to do a little investigating of Syl via's affairs on her own account. On Saturday afternoon Sylvia came, beautiful snow-princess in white fur. it was not a terribly expensive coat, but Julia found herself wondering how a clerk in a bookshop managed to get it. Steve, inordinately proud of his lovely charge, conducted her through the house, showing her it3 ancestral relics, its pictures, its old china and Sheffield plate, is well as his books, and the Tiany curios brought back from his globe trotting expeditions. All the while he was picturing her as the ultimate mistress of the old place, its beautiful and-exquisite chatelaine. Aware of a certain veiled hostility on his sister's part he strove manfully to overcome it made light of Sylvia's fears, con vinced her that by her visit his mother and sister would have fal len as completely under her spell is he had himself. In Spite of his eassnrances, however, Sylvia moved in dread. Luckily the Hol lins family were not ardent pa trons of luc "movies" and did not read the magazines devoted to .hat industry, but there was nev ertheless an ever-present danger of exposure. She thought of her self as an imposter, who might at any instant be unveiled. It was veil, she reflected, that Steve knew her story, could defend her, should she need defense. Julia Hollins watched her care fully, asked her many questions, designed, to entrap her into con flicting admissions, but Sylvia, an swering them honestly, fell into ao traps. Luckily Miss Hollins, knowing nothing of her picture experience, did not think to ques tion her along those lines. Yet when Sylvia had returned to town and the store. Julia, baffled yet no whit" less suspicious than she had been before, suddenly made up her mind to go to Millersburg. She took no one into her confi dence, merely saying that she was going to run out to Pittsburg to visit a school friend. Having fre quently visited this same friend before, neither Steve nor her mother attached any importance to the matter, and Julia did not consider it necessary to explain that on her way back she meant to stop off at Sylvia's home town and have a talk with Mr. McKenna find out what manner of man he was. - She reached Millersburg on a snowy, blustery afternoon and drove at once to the bookstore. Mr. McKenna, supposing her to be an out-of-town customer he knew practically everyone in Mil lersburg by sight came briskly in to wait on her. Now that the holiday rush was over, there were no other customers in the store at the moment. When Julia disclosed her identity, she said she was Steve's sister, Mr. McKenna turned the shop over to Miss Um bach and escorted his visitor to the little study on the second floor. Apologizing briefly for its un Mdy appearance, its litter of books he placed Miss Hollins a chair. In a way lio resented her coming, al though he fully understood the reasons which lay back -of it, had even been expecting it. Sylvia had written him of her engagement to Steve, of her visit at Rosemont, had even hinted that Julia was suspicious of her. not inclined to bo over friendly. Lighting his pipe Mr. McKenna sank Into his thread bare .easy chair. Twenty or more years of use had made it almost form-fitting., . "I happened to be coming through your town on my way east from Pittsburg," Miss Hollins explained " coolly, "and as my brother Is engaged to marry your daughter, I thought it would' be an excellent idea to stop off and make your, acqaantanre.'V'. -"Yes., Mr. ; McKenna nodded gravely "That was very kind of youk'. Convinced that his' visitor's writer figures it, She wiir get : . J " j ' 30 tons of beets to the acre, Beetsi sole purpose in coming was to "snoop" he exhibited hb great en thusiasm. "Naturally I'm glad; to jieet you," Jula went on, finding things rather more difficult than she had anticipated. The man before her, educated, intelligent, refined, showed not the slightest disposi tion to be over-awed by her me tropolitan superiority.! In fact. Miss Hollins suspected; from the shrewd twinkle n his eyes, that he was secretly laughing at her. "The feeling is entirely mutual. J'm sure," Mr. McKenna told her. "Personally, I'd have been better pleasd if Mary had waited a while. She's very young. But, having met your brother, I feel satisfied he will make her an excellent hus band." Miss Hollins sat up sharply. She had not come to discuss Steve's qualifications as a husband. What concerned her far more wer Syl via's qualifications as : his wife. Mr. McKenna was indeed carrying war into Africa. "We all like your daughter very much indeed." she observed. "A charming girl." "Yes. She is that. And a good girl." "Oil of course." Julia agreed, and the conversation languished. Quite suddenly Miss Hollins found that she had nothing more to say. There wer no questions; she could ask this thoroughly poised and well-bred man that she had any right to ask. Sylvia had appar ently been quite frank and truth ful about everything. .J3er father might -be a shopkeepeK but. hg was clearly a gentleman. And a certain rather bleak bleani in Mr McKenna's taciturn eyes warned her that she had better not sa.y anything which might ! imply an attitude of criticism so far as his daughter was concerned. "Are you stayng in town long?" he presently asked, j agreeably enough, but without much warmth. "No. Just over trains. I want ed to meet you. They are planning to be married in June, feteve tells me." I "Yes. So Mary wrofe. I hope they will be very happy." That" terminated the jinterview. Julia, feeling completely baffled, and if the truth be told rather disappointed as well atl her com plete failure to find any flaws in Syvia's story, went down to the bookshop, Mr. McKenna at her heels. j "If you would like hie to see you back to the station" he sug gested, "I should be gad " (Tobe continued.)

Editor Statesman: Permit a new comer aJ few lines of space to say that I think your Slogan campaign for the building up of your industries in your city and cduntry is one of the finest pieces of constructive work In all this country. It is surely unique. It could not be applied in Its all the year around com pleteness to a country without widely diversified activities on the land and in the city. Permit me to say, too, that I regard your series of articles so far printed on the sugar industry as timely and to the point. I hap pen to know something of the benefits of the beet sugar indus try. Also I know that; the time Is ripe for the building of beet sugar factories "in western Oregon. Such work as your articles show yon have in mind and In hand is certain to bring sugar!! factories here, first, evidently., go Salem, and then to your whole Willam ette valley section. I shall cer tainly follow out the iSeries of sugar articles in your paper to the end of it, and I am wondering if all of your people understand the full significance of this Lhing. ap parently to be the most! complete and distinctive effort ofikhe kind ever atempted any where.

QUARANTINE ORDKR NO. 17 (With Regulations) rertainiiig to Narcissus Blub Flies and Eclworms. : The fact has been determined bv the president ot tne uregoa rtate board of horticulture that insect and eelworm pests injurious to narcissus bulbs, known as the greater bulb fly (Merodon eques tris Fab.), the lesser bulb fly (Eumerus strigatus Fallen), and the bulb eelworm (Tylenchus dip saci Kuehn), not heretofore wide ly prevalent or distributed, now exists in the s'ate of Oregon. Now, therefore, I. Chas. A. Park, president of the Oregon state board of horticulture, under the authority conferred by section 1 ot chapter 246 of the general laws of Oregon of 1913, and sec tion 4 of chapter 342 of the gen eral laws of Oregon of 1915, con sider it necessary, in order to fur ther prevent the spread of the greater bulb fly (Merodon eques tris Fab.), the lesses bulb fly t Eumerus strigatus Fallen), and the bulb eelworm (Tylenchus dip saci Kuehn), .within the state of Oregon, do hereby quarantine each and every county within the state of Oregon, and from and af ter the publication of this notice in three newspapers published within the state of Oregon, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to carry or trans port any narcissus bulbs inter county or intracounty during any month of the year except as here inafter provided tor.

(b) The t intercounty or intro county movement of narcissus bulbs which have been determined by such inspections as is required under (a) to be clearly infested with bulb flies or eclworms, or both, shall not be allowed unless and until such bulbs have been disinfected or treated, under the direction of, and in a manner sat isfactory to, the inspector, and so certified by the inspector, as indi cated in apendix B. (c) As a condition for the cer tification provided for in (a) and lllWlMMlfflmimiimHHWMmuM 'MMa!l!iiMiMhiii Mil! W You 131 m It takes more, than money Iti (b) above, of the 1,927 crop and other crops thereafter, the grower shall be required to present to the inspector an affirmation on a form secured from the Oregon state board of horticulture, evi dence satisfactory to the said in spector that prior to the planting of the crop concerned, all of the planting stock, unless certified as above as apparently uninfested, was disinfected in the same man ner and method as herein requir ed as a condition of intercounty or .intracounty movement of the resulting crop. (d) The inspector shall issue to each grower a certificate of in spection or disinfection, as re quired by (a) or (b) hereof, and such nambers of shipping certifi cates as may. be -necessary for tne movement ot the crop certified. Such certificates will be Issued only for bulbs which have actually been inspected by the proper state inspection official and the use of the certificates in connection with bulbs which have hot been in spected is unlawful. All forms for inspection certificates and Shipping certificates must be se cured from the Oregon state board of horticulture. Regulation 3. Persons growing narcissus bulbs with the intention of requesting certification for movement of crop shall make ap plication for field inspection at least thirty days before bloom time to the Oregon state board of hor ticulture, Portland, Oregon. Regulation 4. Persons intend ing to move or allow to be moved harvested narcissus bulbs shall make application therefor not less than thirty days in. advance: of the probable date of movement to the Oregon state board of horticulture, Portland, Oregon. Applicant shall show the quantity of bulbs to be moved, with exact location. Regulation 5. Every crate, box or other container of narcissus bulbs offered for movement shall have securely attached an official inspection certificate signed in writing by the proper state in spection official. In carload lots the inspection certificate may be attached to the waybill and a copy thereof to the inside of the car door. Such certification shall remain and continue as a condition of any re-shipment in original containers of such certified bulbs. Regulation 6. Outstanding cer tificates may be withdrawn and further certification may be re fused as to any grower or shipper who has violated the provisions of this quarantine, or has attempt ed to evade its provisions by false ly labeling or mis-labeling ship ments. Regulation 7.

Such ship ments must be accompanied by the permit. APENDIX "A" The inspection required under are looking at history THE hawker of yesterday who cried his wares in the public places is now but vaguelyl remembered swal lowed up in yesterday's seven thousand years. Today the news of goods for sale becomes an indelible record of human achievement. You may take, for instance, the history of transporta tion in America and read that extraordinary tale of prog-. ress in an unbroken series of advertisements in the files of newspapers advertisements that inform us of each pro gressive step from the sailings of sloops out of Boston for Philadelphia in the days of Franklin, to the flight of the Air Mail from Mitchel Field to San Francisco in our own day. m You may read the startling story of the revolution in household economy and the emancipation of the Ameri can wife and home-builder in the advertisements of the last twenty-five years. " -. But in today's papers you find an even more amazing record the advertisements of radio outfits, automobile equipment, electrical appliances, foodstuffs, ' clothing, medicines things which have raised our civilization to. a plane higher than the world has ever, known. Do you cjuite realize that in these advertisements you are exam ining a contemporary contribution to the recorded history of civilization? . ; "' -:-' '. ;, ."- ': . ; . these regulations includes two ex aminationsthe first in the field, to be made during the growing period approximately at the mid dle of the flowering period (does not apply to the 1925 ;crop); and the second at the time the bulbs are lifted, or in the storage sheds prior to shipment. APENDIX "B" Treatment of Bulbs Infested With Bulb Flies or Eclworms. Plantings of narcissus bulbs found, as a result of field or stor age shed inspection, to be infested with bulb flies or eelworms, as a condition of certification for inter county or intracounty movement must be sterilized by the hot water method, or other treatment ap proved by the proper state inspec tion official. Hot Water Treatment for Bulb. Flies and Eelworms. This treatment Involves the sub mcrsion of the bulbs in wire bas kets, slat boxes, or other contain ers, in water ranging in tempera ture from 110 degrees to 111.5 degrees F. for a period of not less than two and one-half hours. The range of temperature during this period shall not fall below 110 degrees F. and for the safety of the bulbs should not exceed 111.5 degrees F. In order that all of the bulbs may be exposed to the same temperature, the water should be agitated or circulated during the period of treatment so that a uniform temperature is maintained throughout the sterili zation tank. To prevent heating of the bulbs following; the treat ment, it is desirable that they be plunged into or sprayed with cold water promptly on removal from the sterilizer. Bulbs which are not intended for immediate plant ing should be dried by some means, mechanical or otherwise, before storage or shipment. The Carbon Disulphide Treatment for Bulb Flies. In the event that inspection re veals that the bulbs are infested with bulb flies only, the grower may have the optional treatment of vacuum fumigation. This treat ment should not be given until the bulbs have been thoroughly cured and freed from all dirt and debris. Previous to the introduc tion of carbon disulphide into the fumigation tank, a 27-inch mer curila vacuum should be produced. The dosage shall not be less than 2 'a pounds nor more than three pounds per 100 cubic feet of space. The period of exposure shall not ho less than 1 hours, nor more than 2 hours, computed from the time the indicator on the vacuum guage reaches zero. Bulbs, when removed from the fumigator, should be thoroughly aired and should not be brought immediate ly into the direct sunrays or wind. Bulbs should not be fumigated when the atmospheric tempera ture is below 60 degrees F. The optimum temperature conditions are between 70 and 80 degrees F. with a limit of 10 degrees F. either way as a tolerance. Done in the office of the Oregon State Board of Horticulture. Port land.
