OUR FILBERT A FRANCHISE CROP ; This editorial is going to be short; crowded paper;; and the subject is very well covered by the contributors - Every article worth reading1 by every man who has any stake at all in Salem and her future. . The growing- of this hazelnut with a coller education is no fad here, as it was considered in the beginning; when the Slogan campaigns of this paper started. " It is a real in dustry, dependable, reliable, profitable j And it is a franchise industry. No other section of this! country can grow filberts on a commercial basis; no section jutside of western Oregon and Washington and small parts of northern California. Read the reasons why, in the OAC article. , ' ; ; I i -: ; f,f f 'y-:';:: j ' r;'- : ; '; " ' - i ' Filbert trees bear early; and they live indefinitely; 1000 years and more. They are profitable, to a remarkable degree. The pioneers of the industry have marked the way here. It is now plam going. The Salem district is the center of the industry for the western hemisphere, and we should keep .on planting Gilbert, trees; to the full extent of the nurs ery stock to be had-j stock of the right varieties . And we should finally have tens of thousands of acres in filberts in the Willamette valleys ; ! - r P And we willhave. The time will come when train loads of filberts will go out of Salem to the world markets. . . called upoa to flnlsh what George WashhiEtfa was nnabla to do, fax the opinio) of Howard Courtland Rowley, San ; C'raaetoco, rice president-general of the Bona of the American Rerolutfon, here on an official Titit to the Utah chap ter, Sons of the American Rero- lutlon. . . .. - "We feel howerer, thatjGeorge Washington finished the Job and made a good one of It, Rowley added. ' ' V PRODUCTS OF CONVICT LABOR . : (Portland Oregonian) J ' It fstmfortunate,! as is pointed out by Colonel W. (X Bar tram, field operator for the flax plant at the state' peniten tiary, that "in some states the consumers and manufacturers have indicated a dislike for materials made by convicts and have refused to patronize the plant." Without discounting the-practical reality of . prejudice as a bar to the sale of goods, It is possible to show that the objection is badly founded, from the viewpoint of both humanitarian and eco- 'nomist.J ; rj"Kr' -i------ ' I- ' -Jtls'in the first instance recognized as a basic principle yf sound penology that prisoners ought to have opportunity to work; in the? next that epry drone is relatively a burden m society. The notion that giving employment to prisoners Invades ' the rights :of free workers was some time ago re jected by enlightened economists. Forward-looking labor leaders have recognized the practical no less than the re - formative aspects of giving occupation to those who for one reason or another are held in restraint. A necessary feature of work assigned tD prisoners is that it shalj be contractive Carying stones fom one place to another and carrying" them back again, for example, does not meet the requirements of work as a tonic.- It is .both expedient that convicts shall contribute to the .cost of their support and desirable that . they shall be permitted to earn something toward the day of release and as a fortification of self-respect. It is strange that a period marked on the whole by tender regard for the well-being of the under dog should also be witness to the anachronisnv implied in reluctance to use the honestly made products of men we are trying to teach to be honest. - , .- 1 i - The Belgians want to buy 200 tons of our; Salem district .honey, and we have none to sparei : But we 'will have. Some sweet day. Our honey industry is on the up grade,: to stay. Tear gas has been ordered for the :r Oregon penitentiary. Good idea. It will put a person out of business in a few seconds, and keep him' that .way for about 30 minutes, with' out injury. ' Great thing, in case of. a riot. Under due pre caution protecting its . uses, tear gas is now! being kept on tap in big banks and other places where it may do good and! .no harm. . ': " .. J C. Penney is to speak at the Salem, Chamber of Com merce tonight at 7:30. ' He is one of the "world's greatest men in his line; several lines.

PORTLAND, Not. 2 (AP) The climax . !n the judging of blooded ? livestock at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition nere was - reached today and the blue, red and white ribbon flut tering from the stalls of winners throughout the stables and barns gave them a carnival appearance. A new phase of the stock show waa inaugurated today with the opening with the auction sales. These-will increase in number and importance 'during the rest of the week. ; : j.r The grand champion steel, a Shorthorn, raised by Keith Jones, hoy club member, of Grand view, Wash., brought the bid of 30 cents a pound from, the Washington market, Oakland, Cal. A bid of 21. -cents a pound was. received from the .Hotel Oakland on ; the reserve champion steer, also a Shorthorn, raised by Clyde Dunn, Wapato, Wash. f Bidding was keen on the champ ion Southdown lamb raised by Margaret Reid, Dayton; Ore and the winners in the. contest. Bodine and Clark, paid 80 cents a pound for the animal. A bid of 2 5 cents by the No bergall Meat company; Albany, took the grand champion hog, a Poland China raised by Leland McCIafne, Lebanon. Fairfield Farms of Topeka, Kas., swept away all champion ship honors In the Ayersbire cat tle division of the livestock judg ing, taking in all six awards; from the grand champion down. Honors were fairly well divided in the Holstein division. The award -l fbr v senior and grand champion , bull went to James C. Chamherlain, Ceres, Wash., and that of senior and grand champ- Ion female to LonghollowTlfer cedes Butter Boy. owned hv the Forum Holatein Farm, Dike, Iowa.

Filberts are frost proof, almost fool proof, rain proof; almost har vest themselves, are not perish able; grow on a tree that bears young and lives thousands of years; are a lazy man s crop, tak ing care of themselves after the trees attain size. . . Filbert trees are ornamental; they set off any lawn or farm are a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. ; ' 4 , Every farmer ought to hear J. C. Penny, tonight. ;- Every, farmer and his wife invited..

States man reporter and a local statis tician that in 1950 Salem will have 98,700 people, with the propor tionate growth of the past seven years maintained. ' ? Why not make it an even 100, 000? It may be !50,001.'And that is only 23 years, in. the future.

BY PACIFIC OFFICIALS , (Continued from Page One) trouble will be permitted, this year Willamette freshmen have ; been asked to withdraw their guards from the campus. 1 AU this week, men have been on regular two hour shifts petroling the grounds. Commendatory comment on the effort to prevent intercollegiate hostilities was made by President Carl O. ' Doqey of Willamette at Wednesday's ohapel, at the same time that he deployer the class warfare of the previous day, in which upperclassmen were t pitted against freshmen. Both sides were given a consid erable share of the blame In Dr. Doney'e talk; the freshmen for willfully violating a tradition in the full knowledge that they were inviting trouble, and the upper classmen fbr the drastic methods ehosen to enforce the tradition,- Reminding the students that on Monday they had heard an ad dress on world peace, the univers ity president urged that they adopt some peaceful method of settling their difficulties on terms similar to those being urged upon the nations.
