A good neighbor contributes this: 'This new highway , (the Santjam highway) being built by the state is a market road for Marion county intersecting the J Pacific highway about-half way between Salem and Jefferson at the Frank Feller ranch. It connects at Turner with the pavement on east through Aumsville, Stayton, Mehama, "Lyons and on to Mill City, and then through the Santiam pass to Bend, Red mond, and Prineville, over the Blue mountains to Idaho. The new grade from the Pacific highway is a standard state highway, and "has been coated with crushed rock and is ready for paving. Ben Robertson of Turner has been mainly instrumental in construction, under County Road Engineer James Culver on behalf of Marion county. The Santiam highway is a very important improvement for directing eastern Oregon travel into the state capital." The above is a suggestion worthy of consideration. A few years ago, when the winter wheat had frozen out in an extensive area" of "eastern Oregon, the 'legislature made an appropriation of some $250,000, or more, as the writer re members, it to be supplied to the farmers with which to buy spring wheat for seeding. . And this was done -' . - And every cent was paid back. There was no loss to the state. It was a gesture in the nature of all the people of Oregon helping a few of the people of this state over a hard place :' - --. A neighborly act, in which much good was' accomplished and the farmers who were aided put in position to be able to help themselves as useful citizens and contributing factors in, the various forms of taxes imposed by the state. The revolving fund idea is a good one. While the idea is paternalistic, it might, prove wise paternalism, leading away from" the necessity of its further practice in any form. It might be made to work out good results in 'other things than spring wheat, sheep and prunes. . - The good neighbor sending the above is modest. He might have said a great deal more about the importance of this new highway v": :'l : Especially about its connection with a highway system that will direct the great central Oregon country with the central Willamette valley r F.or there are few projects under way that will do more for Salem, and for this whole valley and the country over the Cascades only a little distance from us, 'as the crow flies.", Central Oregon has much to contribute to the Wil lamette valley, and we have much to contribute to that rich section. We are natural neighbors and should be neighborly, through mutual helpfulness in -getting the thing done ; in getting the projected highway completed. WHY NOT HELP INDUSTRY? Reverting to the two last Slogan issues of The Statesman, on the filbert and walnut industries, too much cannot be said in urging an increased acreage of these trees in the Salem district grafted Franquette walnuts with their pollenizers, and Barcelona filberts with their pollehizers, set in the right locations, and given the proper care. It should be more wide ly understood that the filbert is one of our franchise crops, capable of being produced in commercial quantities in North America only here in western Oregon and Washington, and that the same is almost true of, walnuts, because we can grow a superior walnut here, worth a better price than any other grown in this country, and at a lower cost. While on this subject, it is suggested that most of our farmers might well investigate the advantages of at least moderate chestnut tree plantings. - - ": . ' ; .

No deduction should be made for depreciation, for the grove will, to our certain knowledge, get" gradually better from year to. year' up to 25 years of age, for at that, age we have harvested over 90 'and close to 100 lbs. from single trees and see do indication that they are slow ing up either in growth or productiveness.- Each year serves only to strengthen our conviction that, aU things considered,- the filbert la the easiest, surest and most prof itable tree crop that can be grown in the Wlllaxriette valley; that nothing that w raise seems to have a brighter future, not even the Lambert cherry, and that among all our choice products it will be one of the last to feel the effects of overproduction. This conviction Is becoming shared by a rapidly increasing number of our - most observing and well-in formed horticulturists. m opehii Riinr unnpi in Mfluturu i.WUI mi Remarkable Claims Made By : Dr, Magian, Noted Sur 1; geon of. London , o- Bits For Breakfast -o 1 , LONDON, Nov. 11. (AP). The Evening Standard today Quotes Dr. Anthony John Capper Magian, surgeon and gynecologist of Manchester, as saying that for ten years he has been performing successfully a gland transfer ope ration - which enables previously sterile women to bear children. The doctor is quoted as saying that these women enjoyed greatly improved health and appearance after the operation, which con sists of remoTing a gland from one woman and transferring it to the sterile patient. ; ! "I have transferred glands for about 100 women, the surgeon is quoted as saying. "The grafting was remarkably successful. 10 hitherto sterile women children were born." " ' Salem will grow fast and' solidly only with an increase of her industries. We must get more of them; make this a steady job the year through. - ; Editor Statesman : The attached clipping taken from a recent issue of the Denver Post, shows the public spirited attitude taken by the Holly Sugar Co. to help the farmers of its district, and indirectly to increase the yield of sugar beets per acre in its factory area. This plan, while not smacking of charity makes it possible for the farmer to help himself, by becom ing established in thel business of breeding purebred dairy cattle and the marketing of dairy products. The benefit to the sugar company is indirect and will not be evident for some time, but the increased yield of sugar beets will eventually turn a handsome profit to them. The benefit to the farm er Js immediate and permanent. It adds another source of income from the sale of dairy products-and gives him an -opportunity to compete on the open market with pure bred stock. - : The fact. that this is a revolving fund, shows the foresight of the sugar company and means that as soon as one farmer finishes paying for his stock, the fund is passed to another deserving farmer, and the good work is thus propagated..' Who can even estimate the great amount of good that can accrue through the use of this fund ? ; i Why couldn't this plan be worked out in Oregon for the benefit of the prune growers ? If the prune orchards were planted to some pasture crop and pastured by pure bred sheep, and the prune- crop considered as only a secondary issue, there is not a doubt in the world but the present acute state would be eh'minated. If tfce legislators are as desirous of doing the good they would have us believe they are, in stead of voting additional salaries for themselves they would create a revolving fund to further the staple industries of the state, i - i '; 'ri " - - . : ' ' " A . - - " . . -:Y - . I - -- ; . The farmer does not want charity and is willing to pay for any privilege accorded him, and the only thing that he "would ask is that this loan should extend over a period of . time long enough to permit him to become firmly established The interest would be paid semi-annually, at clipping time and at the sale of his lamb crop. Here is the nucleus of a plan that will bear some heavy thought, not only by the farmer but by every industry that depends on the farmer for its raw product. FILBERT EASIEST. SUREST Hi MOST PROFITABLE TREE CROP IN THE VALIEV That Is the Statement of Geo. A. Dorris, Dean of the Filbert Industry in This Section, With the Best Known Groves in the United States And Mr. Dorris Gives the Facts and Figures to Prove His Contention, Taken From This Year's Results Salem, Ore., Nov. 10, 1927. PROGRESS. (The news item referred to above, from the Denver Post, under a Swink, Colorado, date line of Oct. 29, is as follows:) T"In an effort to encourage the dairy industry in the Ar kansas valley th6 Holly Sugar corporation has announced tne provKung ot a revuivtiig t uiiu, , vu.ue uscu cAtiuancij - for the purchase of dairy stock. , i "The stock must be purchased and brought in from outside points, no money to-be loaned for the purchase of locally raised cows.

As fast as the money is returned into the treasury, it will again be loaned to others for- the same purpose. The company now has in its yards at Swink a herd of some fifty cows that are being distributed to the farmers, and applications have been received for many more. "Money for this purpose is provided only- to those who can 4 finance the'purchas'e no other way, and only three or four cows will be sold to one farmer, the farmer then building up his herd to any size he can handle.;, "One purpose in this is to make it possible for beet grow ers who hitherto have been financed during the growing season by the company to have a steady income the entire year. Another benefit will be the use of the fertilizer from the dairy herd for the beet ground, and a third will be the (The Eugene Register takes occasion, in its editorial columns of a recent issue, to comment fav orably on an article published in that .paper concerning the filbert crop ; an article furnished by Geo.

The article of Mr. Dorris, whose groves and post office address are at Springfield Oregon, follows: ; t : i 1 The accuracy of our oft express ed contention, that of aU the tree crops grown in Oregon, "the" fil bert, besides being the most reg- ttlar bearer of heavy crop. Is the easiest and most cheaply harvested and is the most immune from wea ther Injury, was this season put to the acid test. There was ; a heavy 'drop of nuts on the ground and, we were Just read to com mence hanresting when the recant torrential downpour set in. -The daiay of several i weeks during which time the nuts "were drench ed with 5 or 6 inches of rain caus ed us not the slightest worry, for we knew they; would suffer no damage and that when the weath er' finally cleared we would har rest them In perfect condition and without loss of any; part, of the crop. But an unusual thing hap pened which, caused us an, added expense, i The heavy rains, accom panied by a terrific wind, beat down and blew off practically er ery husk on the trees both the empties and the fulls thus nec essitating the. handling of all of them and removing the nuts from the usual 1 l-2c a pound probably 2 l-2c Otherwise the storm did us no kiamage. : ; ; ' : ' In order -to comply with your request, and the request of many others,, for specific yields we se lected 4 different groups In dif ferent locations and kept the prod uct of each group separate. In all other Instances the husks were raked up and put in sheds without any attempt at separation. In this report the nuts were not weighed, but were estimated at 40 lbs." of cured nuts to the full bushel. That is correct as to he Barcelona but is probably 5 .lbs. per bushel too high for the Du Chilley. Neither did ' we deduct I anything from blanks, for the nuts on the pollen izers of each area will more 'than offset the blanks. The yields will therefore be larger, , rather than smaller. ' The first group was . a solid block of 35 Barcelona 15 years old, planted 18 feet apart and yielded 920 lbs. of an average of 26 1-2 lbs. per tree, or 3265 lbs. per acre. About one-third of this lot" was blown off the trees and aU the nuts fall free, leaving the husks on the tree. The crop on this group was heavier than last year. The second group was a solid block of 10 Barcelonas, 15 years old, planted to fill out one corner -f an old grove and spaced ir regularly, but about 20 feet apart. The yield was 310 lbs., an average f 31 lbs., per tree, or 3069 lbs per acre. In this group is our largest 15-year-old tree, which last year produced over 58 lbs., and one of our smallest 15-year-old trees, which produced last year 25 lbs. This year the larger tree produced only about 43 lbs., but the group averaged about as last year. ; I" - " 5:. The third group was a row of 13-year-old Barcelonas . through the center of the grove and con tained 23 trees 20 feet apart. The yield was 440 lbs., per tree, or 1881 lbs. per 'acre. The crop on this tract was heavier last year. This grove was planted in an as paragus bed, from which we have cut asparagus ! continuously ; tUl this year. Just think of It! If any one tells You the filbert Is a- deli cate tree, hare him come and look at this grove and be undeceived. The fourth group is 60 Du Chll Ieys planted among the 15-year-old Barcelonas the same day. 35 were among the Barcelonas of the first ; group and planted' 18 feet apart. The yield was . 300 lbs., 8 2-3 lbs. per tree or 1975 lbs. per acre, 25 were among or near the second group and yielded 260 lbs., 10 1-2 lbs. per tree, or 1040 lbs. per acre at 20 x 20 feet. . Ton will notice that under iden tical conditions the yield of the DuChilleys was only about ' one third the yield of the Barcelonas. On an average about the same, dif ference hs3 appeared . for many years. That Is one, and a suffi cient reason, why we prefer the Barcelona and discourage -the planting of he DuChllley. The wholesale price of the nuts depends ph. Ihe grade. No. 1. Bar celonas are 25c per lb. and No. 2, 20c. No. 1 DuChilley'g 29c per lb. and -o. r2 2 4 They have not yet been graded, but last year the entire crop ran 74 per cent No. 1 .' Assuming that: they grade ?n per cent No. 1, the value" per acr will be as follows: - On group No. ,1 15-year-o!J Barcelonas 767. - On group " No. 2 15-yeftr-old Barcelonas $721. On Group No. 3 13-year-old Barcelonas $442.' ;On Group ' No. 4 15-year-ol Du Chiller $295. And ; 15-year-old Du Chillevs $286. ,.

Utah and' Nevada. This prece dence will be maintained if the people of Salem will do one out standing thing if they, will get more Industries. There are sev eral more just around the corner; industries that may be had for the asking, and the helping. " The. full development of the flax and linen industries here will alone cut the mustard. And that is so near that it perhaps ought to have the first major effort Why not make it? We have start ed the job magnificently; why not finish it, 7 We can do it. Just buckle to the task, and stay with It," and it will go over, to the ever lasting credit , and profit of this city an section. V Another thing: An irrigation boom will do the -job. And that kind, of a boom is in the making. The big interests are. looking this way. They believe the time is ripe; they know It is coming in time; has to come. Why not hurry it? That will bring beet sugar fac tories, and these will boost every other industry on the land, mesh ed up with all the industries in the cities and ' towns, with many not now here. Ona of the first things it will, do, will be to make this the greatest dairying district in the world. And that alone will boost the population of Salem to 100,000, and not be very long In the process. THE MORNING ARGUMENT.

(AP)- Dr. - Anthony John Capper Mag- ian's statement in London that he had transplanted glands in 100 sterile women, enabling them to have children, was characterized today as "both remarkable and startling" by Dr. William Zaman Bainbridge, noted surgeon and gynecologist.
