ti WE WILL HAVE GREAT BEAN INDUSTRY
PRUNE NEEDS PUSHING
V?e Proposition being put forward in California, and likely
to be.brought to include Oregon and the other prune growiyg
states of this coast, for a joint grower and dealer control of
the market,, commands the attention of our peopje
i And the great merit is this : x
'm J nincentive for pushing prunes.
A '(Or rather that is one of the chief arguments in favor of
the consummation of the proposition.
The. Portland Oregonian of Monday said editorially in
"e. prune particularly the Orecon varietv has naul
the penalty; of overmbdesty on the one hand and of assump
tioii bn the other that people would eat it whether or not it
;was called iq'their jattentibn.
f 4'fthis has been intensified vby the activities of its rivals
And in the case of the species peculiar to Oregon, Washington
and Idaho by the widely heralded "confectionery" attributes
of t the prune grown farther south. Even as to the latter,
Professor Hurd makes the point that it is in reality at its best
when grown-here that it is admittedly of better flavor than
the same variety grown elsewhere.' The dual obligation of
Oregon growers, in their interests and in those of the industry
as a whole, is to let the facts be known to millions qfj people
to whom the prune is a vague memory, associated in the mind
with witty paragraphs and boarding-house jokes." 5 : -
. Oregon prune growers would, have a long way to o, to
exploit in competition the superior qualities of th.ir Italian
tart-sweet- prunes; though this should have been done, or
tather continued, from the first
But it would not make a great pro rata expense for all
prime rgrowers on this coast to join in pushing prunes as
prunes "
' ;y In exploiting prunes in every market, letting individual
,staste decide on the preferred varieties.
oajera uisinct wiu nor, De living up to its opportunities
till it has a great bean industry, -with many times the present
acreage in beans grown; for' the canneries, and with many
bean canneries instead of the few thai now operate on beans.
There are many lines of canning products so far being
neglected bere, such as corn, beets, carrots, asparagus and
other vegetables
But in beans the opportunities are great. Canned beans
are a taple. The market is wide and constant, and we can
produce a superior canning bean.
" Beans have been grown in Europe and Asia since the-i
memory of man runneth not to the contrary ; their cultivation
commenced before the recording of history began.
Beans are perhaps the most important vegetable crop in
the world, next to potatoes. They were grown ages before
potatoes were known outside of ancient Peru.
The United States department of agriculture places the
bean crop, at the head of the list in importance in the city
home garden.
Prof. Bouquet of the Oregon Agricultural college, one of
the best authorities on this coast on garden crops, thinks the
greatest development in the future of the green bean industry
will be tfie use of certain varities as salad beans. This pre
diction ought to have the attention of our cannery managers.
Here is a chance for great things for making this the out
standing bean center of the whole country.
Why should not Salem, in the center of a great salad
bean country, take advantage of this idea?
It is well to stress the importance of beans as a rotation
crop. They are a leguminous crop. They take out of the air
and put in the soil the things needed in the soil.
Some growers here are raising beans as a second crop,
with spinach as a first crop. Bean straw is good stock feed,
and makes especially good fertilizer.
All in all, the showing for this basic Salem industry is
conclusive. Itshould be persistently followed and it should
grow.

be wrong, he noted that when the
bill rajne up. for repeal there were
no growers to protest, bat the
packers - were there in force to
keep the law on the statute books.
The resolution was. howeyer,
adopted by a majority vote of the
members.
Following are the resolutions
as submitted by the committee,
all of which were adopted, with
out discussion, except as above
stated.
Whereas, the Salem chamber of
onimerce has materially assisted
in making the meeting of the Ore
Kon Sa.te Horticultural society a
success, and has provided a meet
ing place and assisted in arrange
ments for the banquet;
' Therefore, be it resolved, that
the Oregon State Horticultural so
ciety express its appreciation for
tbll. moral and financial help;
And be it further resolved, that
a copy of this resolution be sent
to the Salem chamber of commerce.
Whereas, the program commit
tee of the State Horticultural so
ciety has worked diligently and
arranged a very thorough educa
tional program, covering the-many
diversified horticultural interests
of the state;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
the Oregon State Horticultural so
ciety express its sincere apprecia
tion and thanks to the members
of this committee who have so
faithfully performed their duties;
And be it further, resolved, that
the society express its thanks to
the speakers who have given their
time and thought in order to pre
stut the papers and discussions.
"Oregon produces a string bean that is superior in qual
ity and yield," was said in an official publication by Prof.
Bouquet, some time ago. That is a solid foundation on which
to build. It is in the nature of a franchise.
Our people also should grow their own Oregon Lima
beans, and quit buying this variety from California.
And our people ought to produce more dry beans for our
own markets arid those to the north, especially those of
Alaska. We can do so, at a profit, and with advantage to the
soil, in the way of rotation crops.
If vou will read the description of beet harvesting in
western Nebraska, on the Slogan pages of this morning's
Statesman, you will get an idea of the scenes that, will be
witnessed in the Willamette valley, when our coming sugar
beet industry irets fairly under way. That industry makes

Whereas, the horticultural staff
of the Oregon Agricultural college
and others associated with the col
lege have given unselfishly of their
time and energy in assisting those
interested in the horticulture of
the state;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
this society express its profound
appreciation for their cooperation.

Whereas, ' the" r walnat ' industry
of the state of Oregon is becoming
one of the most important horti
cultural interests of the state;,
And whereas, it bids fair to be
come one of the most profitable
industries of the slate, providing
it is properly safeguarded: . -
And whereas, the imported wal
nut meats, after being cracked, are
exposed to disease germs and in
fection ;
And whereas, most of these
treats are produced and hajndled
under most unsanitary conditions
which tend to endanger the health
of the people of the United SKatep;
Therefore, be it resolved, thjat
the State Horticultural society go
on record as being opposed ! to
such importations.
And be it further resolved, that
the secretary of this society send
a copy of this resolution to our
senators, and representative? in
congress, urging them to introduce
the necessary measures to t stop
such importation.
Whereas, changes in the fruit
acreage, particularly, of small
fruits, are so rapid as to make
regular United States census data
of little value except for the cur
rent census year;
And whereas, there is a con
stantly growing inquiry for Ore
gon fruit acreage and production
information;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
this society recommend to its legis
lative committee that some ar
rangement be made whereby in
formation relative to the acreage
of all Oregon fruits and nuts may
be annually determined.
Whereas, Hie prune industry of
the state of Oregon is one of the
leading horticultural industries of
the state;
And whereas, many growers are
not now receiving profitable re
turns from this important crop;
And whereas, no concerted ef
fort is being made by growers and
ethers to bring forth the merits
of this valuable food to the con
suming public by demonstration
work and proper publicity; r t
And whereas, it is recognized
that no' one packer of prunes has
sufficient Tolumeto(,prqperiy fin
ance such work; : '
- And whereas, California is mak
ing extensive efforts to push its
prunes In the consuming centers;
And whereas. the northwest
prunes are being crowded out of
many markets, due to the lack of
this proper presentation to con
sumers; Therefore, be It resolved, that
the Oregon StHt Horticultural so
f'ety does hereby commend the
work of all these interests trying
t help the prune industry; and
tnat it calls particular attention
to all growers and packers of
prunes; that unless a concerted
effort be made to organise and
carry the merits of the northwest
prune to the consuming public
that Oregon faces a serious loss to
a horticultural industry that
should bring at least $10. 000. 000
pnn'uaUy of outside money into
tliis stttre;
. And be ir further resolved, that
a copy of this resolution be given
to the press. 1 " , .

A proposition from the Pacific
Nut Growers' association to affili
ate with the State Horticultural
society by paying the society SI
for each member of the nut grow
ths, to the end that their joint af
fairs might be administrated more
economically, was temporarily
tabled until action could be taken
upon a motion to increase the an
nual membership dues to S2, and
the life dues to $25. This motion
seemed to have no active cham
pion among its members and was
defeated without opposing vote.
The proposal of the-, nut growers
was then taken from the table and
unanimously accepted.
