THERE IS AN EMERGENCY There is an emergency that must be met in some way; the state's budget must be balanced The purely state institutions, like the asylums for ihe insane, reformatories, schools for the deaf and blind, insti tution for the feeble minded, etc, must be supported These are burdens that cannot be dropped. ; The 5000 and more state charges cannot be turned loose. The institutions are economically managed now, and their expenses cannot be lowered much ; and the number of charges is growing. t If the people refuse to vote to ratify the proposed income tax, in order tt balance the state's budget with the first $2,000,000 of the income therefrom next year, what is to be idone? , f What do you suggest? Shall we have so-called nuisance taxes? Taxes on tobacco sales? On moving pictures, and What not ? You say no. Then what ? Something must be done, The state will have a deficiency of $2,000000 for the present biennium ; for 1927 and 1928. This cannot be shifted. Jt cannot be repudiated. It cannot be side-stepped in any wajr. ' Oregon in her state government is a low salaried state. Ixw enough, to insure proper service. The thing to do is to vote the income tax ; to provide the first $2,000,000 from this tax to balance the budget; and the balance next year, and the whole of it in future years, to lift a part of the direct property tax burden. The potato philosophy of Col E. Hofer, the second recent installment of which appears on this page this morning, is good philosophy ; good for the Salem district. For long years, The Statesman has been printing matter along this line. For eight years, in an issue in February, there has been a Slogan number of this paper devoted to the potato industry. In that time, a good deal of progress in the industry has been made leading up to better seed and improved methods. Success in the industry depends on the right practices all the way up from the seed to the sack, and the labeling of the sack and the marketing of the product. Col. Hofer is right. There is n opportunity to build up ti great potato industry here, i4 will require organization and the right facilities. and correct-business methods, backed by good farming. The industry will not reDlace but will on the rontrarv hpln pvpto . - j - j other stable industry on the land, for potatoes must be a part of a rotation scheme. And we must have potato flour, starch and dextrine factories, in order to make profitable use of the culls. This will be an industry on the land ioineH with tVi industries of the cities and towns, for srreat success. The lowly spud can be made to powerfully help Salem become a city of 100,000 people. CLIFFORD W. BROWN (Portland Oregon Ian, June 10.) 4 The death of Clifford W. Brown of Salem, drowned while on a yachting trip to Alaskan waters, is particularly saddening for Mr. Brown did not pass in the ripeness of years, but in the glow and energy of comparative youth. Scarcely had he found himself, as we say, and won his place in the business world and in the hearts of numerous friends," when the message of death came to him. AA admirable citizen and. moat excellent young man. whose quali ties; ol mind and spirit were admirably suited to something finer than mere Success,; He had gained the ungrudged respect of his associates. His energy was unbounded. His vision was of an uncommon clarity. At-42 he"waspne of the most prominent citiisens of Salem, his birth place. - "..-.' - The Oregonian can only say that it is sorry, deeply sorry, he was not spared to live his life to the fullest. It can only echo the regret that Ig "common to all who knew him. POTATO PHILOSOPHY FOR SALEM (Written for the Statesman Industrial Campaign and the Develop, men t of Larger1 Production of Spuds and the Seed Potato Industry, by Col. J5. Hofer., Editor of the Manufacturer and Industrial News Bureau.) ;. ':V; w"--;sr"::r , i v . ,., , - : ' t Salem is developing a big seed potato Industry, i Hyde & Company are a San Francisco firm that has established a seed potato .plant near lhej Valley' Packing Co.VLand' have already contracted for three hun dred carloads Netted Gem seed potatoes lor faU delivery with growers In and about .Marioh . county. .Tilanager Bpwman, who- handles this business for the northwest, is seeking contracts for a thousand car loads la Oregon and Washington. He has headquarters at Portland, and In'Washington a seed potato, growers organisation has been forced. One grower at Salem is holding, and has probably sold his twenty acres of Netted Gem certified seed during the past week. This seed potato has tieen selling for $3.85 a sack at Salem. Mr. Hoffman grows from certified need only and the crop 'is on a rotation 'basis, of corn, grain and seed potatoes, twenty acres of each and changed each year. A certification official from 6. A. C. goes over the seed and the crop "each year."'guarantees the purity pt the crop- from diseases and pests. There is very little genuine Burbank seed left in Oregon. It has been allowed to become badly mixed and too many Oregon potato growers' fall or refuse to bavo their seed and crops Inspected. iSeedr potatoes are STOwo in, many, other states, and in Minnesota "the -Burbank is' planted and much seed stock sold for Netted ,Gem is called Burbank Netted Gem. Netted Gem Bnrbank seed from Oregon Is sold under that name in eastern states. Idaho end Yakima Netted Gem was originally, a Burbank type of potato. Those1 regions have built up, a national trade in seed potatoes, and grow large f crops thai 'are skipped in carloads to all parts pt the TUnlted States and Canada, and even to European and Oriental coun tries. Oregon needs most of all to get hold of pure seed and to grow tetter potatoes. Oar eoil and climate can proauce me imesi quamy of Borbank and Netted Gm: Many hold that the genuine Burbank is 4 better potato than the Nettsd Gem, and produces larger crops and brings better prices where known at Its best. One thing is cer? . tain, there is demand for a great many more seed potatoes than can be supplied. And if the shipping business were organized here and conducted as it Is in Idaho and Washington it would become one of the largest farming industries In the state. What is needed in Oregon is intelligent organization of the growers with a large shipping and grading plant at some central point like Salem. I am only a city potato grower and have not learned the rudiments of the potato business and do not' know as much about it as an oriental sptfd grower in California. v V Like the strawberry, and prunes, and flax, the plain homely mut faced spud could be made the- foundation of a great industry if we had some one who would master the factors of the situation anf organize it. Here is a crop that is also an article of commerce. In point of consumption potatoes are more consumed than any one other article grown on the land except wheat. Next to bread, potatoes are most dniversally eaten. The unfortunate fact remains that a large part of them are consumed as corn flakes and a hundred other kinds of prepared breakfast foods sent in from states like Michigan, nine tenths of them made of potatoes. Some bright business man who would organize the potato with a big buying, grading and shipping center at Salem, and with the spud farmers of about five countries to draw on, in these days of paved highways and truck transportation, besides the railroads and private cars, a potato distributing business could be tuilt up here at the farming center of western Oregon reach ing into millions of bushels. Potatoes to reach the widest markets in these days must be graded as to size and variety. The Idaho Netted Gem potatoes are distributed over all the western states and the hotel trade of halt the territory of the United States. The Rainbow hotel at Great Falls, the great New York hotels, and the hotel service and dining cars on transcontinental railroads Use Oregon and Idaho product, including potatoes from the Deschutes valley and Eastern Oregon irrigated dis tricts. All over western Oregon potato farmers this month are plow ing in a great acreage of spuds and can, plow them out any time until November. Willamette and Santiam river bottoms have a big acre age no doubt be enlarged. Some bank at Salem should interest itself iff this subject of organizing the potato Industry. A potato company could be organized by business men and by the growers themselves, and secure the necessary shipping and grading warehouses and begin to study the subject. As in all heavy crops, the labor problem would have to be solved, but it is not so hard as in the sugar beet crop where the largest part of the labor will always be hand labor. The potato crop, all but the planting, can be easily made by machinery. The farmers generally know how to grow the potato crop. There are no pests to speak of. Brains and intelligence will have to be employed in securing certified seed and the marketing. Dealing in seed potatoes can be made a large and profitable business. Standard izing the crop for shipping will have to be undertaken by a potato growers' organization. The Oregon Burbank potato was widely known long before Burbank, the California plant wizard, was known to fame. I am not an authority on varieties of potato, but I under stand the Burbank potato was originated in Ohio long before Prof. Luther Burbank began to operate in the potato publicity department Testing varieties could be carried on at the agricultural college exper iment stations. What we need now is a genius to organize and collect the facts of the potato industry and organize a growers' corporation to enlarge production and a corporation to supply the necessary volume of potatoes for the wholesale trade and to form a shipping center at Salem. Plant as much certified seed as possible. Build up the seed production on scientific lines. There have never been enough seed potatoes to supply the'demand. There is a longer season in western Oregon to make the crop, and it can be left in the ground longer. But our farmers are lax in fighting for better stocks of seed and better crops. But frosts and saving crop and holding it for the best market as against cold weather in winter is more favorable in western Oregon than anywhere in the world. But even here the successful potato grower must have storage and heating in some winters and plow potato land three titmes at least. inns ? join ni r.u Much Activity During May Reported at Regular Direc tors' Meeting New members to the number of 114 were received by the local YMCA during te month of May, according to a report made to the boafd of directors of that organi zation Thursday noon. Of this number 33 were men, 28 boys, and 53 were women. The social department reported that three musical programs bad been conducted in the lobby, with good attendance. These programs have been discontinued for ' the summer, but will be resumed next fall. In the junior division consider able activity was reported, includ ing a number of Pioneer, Comrade, and Friendly Indian clubs in var ious churches, a summer camp, with 15 boys already signed up, and several large get-to-gethers, with feeds. The boys' lobby has been used daily by 350 boys. A program consisting largely of swimming and out-door activities occupied the physical department. It sponsored 21 baseball teams, in cluding commercial, industrial, The handling of the crop is pretty well understood, but could4 church, and Pioneer leagues, put on a track meet with Chemawa, and conducted a volley-ball tournament in the county. In the swimming tank 28 boys and 44 girls learned to swim, and a tournament was held between Salem. Portland, and Eugene. Swimming week was held for the public schools from May 9 to 14.
