Jtlve for the Archerd Implement company, reports that there Is an t unusually fine exhibit of grain and 'email seeds at the state talr his yfcar. There were eventytwo entries in both these classes' which iare representative of the main grain and seed growing sections of - the Willamette valley. The only exhibits from eastern Oregon are from Wasco and Malheur coun ties. Marion and Polk counties won eleven prizes out of the total of Be venty-t wo entries, j The keenest competition was In the gra'y winter oat class, and William Patty of Amity won first , pn'se and sweepstakes over seven -other entries ,-wkh a bushel which tested '4 J. 1 ' The next keenest competition was in the white winter wheat! class. Sherman Seely of WUson vlUe won first with a bushel of Jenkins Club which, , tested .-.out 61. 9. ' Wiilllam'Patty"o'f Amity was . second with a bithel of write win der wheat which tested out 59.6. Best for Valley . , There is very little Jenkins Club wheat grown in the Salem vicinity, and it was interesting to note that this variety is being 'used extensively as a winter wheaA in Washington and Clackamas counties. Professor Donald Hill, judge of the wheat, classes, re- ' marked that Jenkins Club and white winter wheat are probably the two outstanding winter wheats "which should be grown exclusive- - ly on the well-drained soil of the Willamette valley. He mentioned that this is a 6 white wheat valley as contrasted with the red wheat of Eastern Ore- gon. . He further mentioned that "be' has not observed any red wheat which should be extensively grown here in view of a price differen . vital of several cento a bushel in favor of the whHe wheat over the red.' V There were six exhibits of O Varner of Cornelius, Oregon, first with a bushel of out- won first with a standing barley which tested 57.1. Varner has been growing Hannch en barley for about four years, and he won the first prize and sweep stakes at the state fair last year as well as at the Pacific Interna tional. The field from which his exhibit was.' taken yielded 80 bushels to the acre. In the four, years Varner has been growing Hannchen barley he ' has learned several practices which have en-: a bled him t o increase his acre yield1 from twenty-five bushels to seventy to eighty bushels. His first seeding was 60 to 80 pounds' to an acre' as contrasted with his present seeding of "110 to 116 pounds to the acre. He ap preciates the vaue of a. firm seed bed which he packs down with a corrugated roller because such a seed bed causes the barley to stool out. During' the past -two .years he has counted as many as thirty-e'x stocks to a single plant. He plants his barley on fertile, well' drained .soil, reasonably early In the spring after the ground is warm, that Invariably if there is a good rain after the barley is up that -It will stool out and make a heavy yield. Good for Marion Hannchen barley unquestion ably is destined to pay a most im portant part as a spring grain for Marion county, because, if proper ly handled, it will yield more pounds of grain per acre on the average than ei'ther spring oats or wheat, and furthermore It is fine feed for hogs a well as dairy cattle. John Kanffman of Woodburn, Oregon, won first with white Six Row winter barley. " He has been growing this type of barley for several years and finds that it of fers great possibilities as a fall sown grain to help clean up weedy land because it ripens about the first of July and can be harvested, before the' weeds have gone to seed. ' Moreover the winter ' bar ley' provides early Jhog feed dur ing the months of July and Aug-i mst when feed Is scarce and high priced. On Kinney Wheat Harvey Walker of Salem won first on Kinney wheat with a bush el which tested 63, and Roth Bro3. (Earnest and Henry) won second with a bushel of Kinney which tested 62.6. The Kinney wheat seems to do exceptionally weir on the well drained soil of Salem and Howell prairies, where the humus and nitrogen contents of soil ns high. On the Clover Ed Loop,' who is farming near Perrydale, won first on red clover this year. Loop had a wonderful 110 acre field of red clover which was outstanding from a standpoint of. size and color of seed. Henry growing section of Central Howell, won second in the red clover class, prize for Alslke clover. Pohn Kauffman, farming near Jones Bros, of Gervals won first St. Paul, won second with his ex hibit of white clover. Kauffman, as well as a number of St. Paul farmers, has been growing white clover for a number of years "and find that it not only is a consist ent and heavy yfelder of seed but that it also furnishes wonderful pasture for their dairy stock. They grow an exceptionally fine quality of white clover seed and in mak ing ,a placing for ' Kauffman 's White clover, the judge mentioned that ft was A-l white clover seed but that he would have to give a second placing because It 'con tained some mixture of Alsike clover. ' J - " y t w . ' t - Young Men Leal h In checking over the entries for Marion county, it was Interesting to note that the majority of the exhibits were made by young far mers, and it is' encouraging to know that these young farmers are making a real attempt to pro duce a high grade of the finest quality of grain and small seeds that is best adapted to Willamette valley conditions. These young farmers who are specializing in seed growing will open up a field that shows great promise for them, and at the same time they are making available a local supply of seed gTaln whoch will help In a large measure to Increase' the per acre production rof grain in their respective com munities. PnFiWWISMIK PBOGRESS; GROWIKB ALL THE TIME Western Paper Converting Company Has Added Some New Machinery, Designed to Increase Its Output and Its Work ing Forces an Therefore Its Payrolls Much Outside Money for Salem. One of he big payrolls of Salem is now that of the Western Paper Converting company. Front and D streets, ir it Is not the fourth in dustrial payroll in Salem in size now. It will likely be before long with fhe paper mill first, the Spaulding wood working plants second, and the woolen mill third. The annual paper mill Slogan number of The Statesman of two years ago had this item: "A number of the men connect ed with the Oregon Pulp and Pa per company have organized the Western Paper Converting com pany, and this company is already building a large plant on North Front street, that will employ a hundred or mo.re people from the start, and eventually will employ several hundred, in making paper boxes and many other forms of paper containers, including envel opes, and also including the print ing of these paper containers." The plant has been in operation for nearly two years. It has a building 240 by 100 feet, of the concrete factory type construction. Only One In West This is the only factory west of the Mississippi making bonbon, "bakery, artd all kinds of crimp cups. Glassine bags 'are turned out in'varfous styles. Food wrap pers of all kinds are made. Ad ding machine and cash register rolls are turned out in great quan tities. This factory furnishes Armour & Co. Swift & Co. and many of the independent packing plants with all their printed meat wrap pers. In short, this factory takes the finished product from the paper mill and finishes it further for the use of the trade in various lines. " " ZJfrom long distances. Paper Converting company is OTi fa F. Beyerl; vice president and man ager. Lloyd Riches; secretary, Jo- oenh PrrMlhomme: treasurer. F. W. ichausse. Warren Gilbert; famous nation ally known cartoonist, who was a Salem boy, is in charge of the art department. That end of the plant, in which the photo engrav ing is also done. Is a most Inter esting place, and in fact every part of the work is . Interesting, with the operation of machines that seem to do about everything but think. Growing Fast Now A new Kidder three color ad justable rotary press has Just been installed and started to running. It is the very latest of that make. It will print 50,000 impressions In eight hours, size 36 by 48 Inches. The press is running 16 hours a day now, the first week of full operation. It will no doubt run- 24 hours a day soon. There is also a new very latest type ruling machine, that rules both sides of the paper both ways. Many thousands of the school chil dren of the coast states are using this paper in penmanship exercises and for making up examination papers, etc. It is being sent to the trade in large quantities. There are pow 60 people em ployed in the plant, besides the sales force. The number'will con stantly increase. The output has been 10 cars of finished papers a month on the average.' This amount will grow fast now, with a practical trebling of the facili ties in the past year. Manager Riches has recently re turned from a trip of three weeks over the wide trade territory of the concern. He finds that the prospects for the marketing of an increased output of the plant are bright now. Practically all the money re ceived from these products comes from outside of Salem; most of it This is a factory that helps to keep Salem going and growing steadily.

(By Radio Contest Editor) Time is fleeting. But three and a half weeks remain in The Stat esman's radio contest for boys and girls. This radio is on display at the Statesman office and can be seen vt any, time. Boys and girls in the race s'houid realize how valuable these prizes are and that they are practically within reach to be claimed for their very own or for feited to more ogressrtve oppon ents during the next few days, de pending almost entirely on the su preme effort put forth while the special bonus of 25,000 free votes is awarded, on each club of $7 on subscriptions. To the hoy or girl who halts for a moment if you slack up or let your enthusiasm wane If you overlook one opportunity to better your chances to win, you are tak ing the desperate risk of losing the big prizes. This radio contest is so big that it should have the attention of the brightest boys and girls in this ter ritory. -Hereone stands to gain up to $175 With' every active -candidate guranteed 8 per cent on ev ery dollar he or she turns in on subscriptions. There are three ra dios, three bicycles, two phono graphs 20 prizes in all that will be given to active boys and girls. ' "Everyone Wins Something" Is the slogan. It is safe to predict that there will be very few boys and girls in Salem territory be tween now and October 22nd who wall make up to $175 any other way. . One couldn't imagine a finer list of prizes for boys and girls. But. this is a subscription getting campaign. Subscriptions will win and subscriptions do not come on the wines of mornrng without ef fort. The goal is too big, the ob jective Is too important not to make a supreme effort to produce tne subscriptions while they count for so many votes. Those who have the foresight : to see the tremen dous value of votes on subscrip tions compared to the clubs and getL their campaign eta rted -whilei the present -vote schedule is in ef-' fet will be well pafd lor their efforts.
