NEW CELERY COOPERATIVE By Rozella Bunch The senior class of the Salem high school presented John Kirk patrick's three-act comedy drama "Charm" last night in the high school auditorium before a packed house of students and townspeople. The drama is of large character interest at the outset, a fact that made the adaptation of the cast to their parts of outstanding im portance. Victor Wolfe and Mr. Harper were one and the same person last night, in fact so completely did Mr. Wolf take his part that one felt hesitation in imagining him outside of it. Mrs. Harper, (Ruth) Neiger) was possessed of the prop er bearing for one who, struggling against tremendous odds, attempts to save her daughter from New York. Ida May (Ethel DeLapp), her It might seem an alarming incident that there is a split in the celery growing force of the Labish district And a new cooperative taking about half the growers and half the acres and tonnage Were it not for the fact that the main difference seems to have been the matter of quality. In that light, the new de velopment may conceivably be a saving one. ' The salvation of the celery industry of this district is in a quality crop and in a quality pack. There is no other hope of success or continued growth. WTe are too far away from the principal markets to make a great success on any other basis. We must send to the market a bigger and better vegetable than any other section can send, .and we must put up a better pack than cither sec tions send to market Because we must have top prices, to cover high freight and refrigerator charges. There is a quality market that will buy our celery at higher" prices, if we will send only the best we can grow The best we can grow being better than any other section can grow, or even approach, in our seasons of marketing. It would be better if all growers were included in such a program; but it is better that half of them be included and hold rigidly to the program, than that low standards be per mitted. We can only do the best by giving the best. This is absolute, in our celery industry. ton: Harriet Adams. Miss Mildred; Thelma LaDuke.

The entire cast of characters adapted themselves In a really no table manner and the action of the entire play which was surpassing in every way gave the audience an evening of unbroken delight.

Jack Chapman as Joe Pond took the pivot role of the play and from the first scene to the last his act ing was highly commendable. Mr. Chapman starred in what amount and finally that of Ida May, her self. From the sheaf of flowers that passed over the footlights, appre ciation of the evening's perform ance was without stint. The assist ed to the heaviest role in the com-lance of the orchestra added mater ially to the success of an evening of excellent quality. Miss Leila Johnson as director is receiving the commendation not only of the school but also of the town for the quality of her work. edy. . Additional minor parts, not mi nor, however, in the extent that they added to the acting, were taken by Gertrude Oehler, Mrs. Paxton; Floyd Albin, as Mrs. Pax- surgent members of three Boston chapters and submit ted a petition to the president gen eral protesting against the organ: ization going on record in favor I of the then pending naval con struction program. The petition also deplored the action of the or ganization in denouncing certain individuals and organizations on the grounds that they were unpa triotic. In March, she exposed the presence of the "black list" within the organization. Mrs. Balie said tonight, that she had received a copy of the charges against hW and was "prepared to fight the movement to the end." She said that she would engage counsel to defend her. W. S.C. MAN TIB II HOOVER THE "GEORGE" OF THE U. S. "Let George do it" is a colloquialism that needs no ex planation in this country. Since Herbert Hoover was called over to the United States to work for a dollar a year for the general welfare of this country and the rest of the world, he has been the chief "George" of the universe. He has done a little of everything where there were hungry mouths to feed, or food supplies to conserve, or snarls to unravel or trouble to "shoot" anywhere in all creation. The writer has just run across an explanation by one of the editors of "Facts About Sugar," New York, concerning the rubber corner that was created in Ceylon and other Brit ish insular possessions, boosting the world price of rubber How the corner was made and how it was unmade. The price of rubber had been about 18 cents a pound, and it went up rapidly in 1925 after the corner was created, and reached a dollar a pound in 1926. The editor being quoted gives the following as the princi pal way in which the corner was rendered ineffective in main taining exorbitant prices for rubber, affecting most serious ly the United States, for our country is the principal con sumer of rubber: "The failure of the plan is attributed to various causes, including its rigid character which made it impossible to adapt shipments promptly to market requirements. Thus the long period of exorbitant prices in 1925-26 caused a great ex pansion of production in non-British countries, and it led the rubber consumers of the United States, under the leadership of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, to cut down purchases drastically and to increase their use of reclaimed rubber. At the beginning of the control period British colonies were pro ducing 70 per cent of the total output, while during the past - A 1 t AA11 I f year tneir snare oi xne toiai nas oeen only a utile over 50 per cent." It was the keen mind of Herbert Hoover that showed the way, and his fine initiative that put the first effective skids under the unjust scheme that was costing s designed to cost, the rubber users of the United i L sums of money ; a considerable part of the exces.- .ing upon automobile owners of this country. 1 EUR Oil PORTLAND.

Multnomah, won a victory over room for an annual increase of our Labish crop. But it must be sold on quality. It Is useless to send anything but a quality pack. The freight and refrigerator charges on our celery is 12.25 a crate to Missouri river points. It is $2.50 to the Chicago district. The Michigan and New York growers can sell their celery at the freight and refrigerator charges tothe Labish growers. The Labish growers must get $5.50 for what their competitors can sell at around $2.50. So our growers MUST sell on quality They must have a quality crop and a quality pack, in every particu lar. Even so, if they will look to quality and to the quality pack, there is room ahead for a 1000 car annual sale, and for a 2000 car sale. But it must not be in creased too fast. They must find new outlets, and these cannot be had excepting upon quality. They can grow the quality, and they can pacK it. ut it win do them no good to grow it if they do not pack it.

PUREBRED JERSEYS BEING SHOWN HERE SMALL BEET SUGAR FACTORIES There was a big meeting at Prague, at the Czechoslovak Academy of Agriculture, a few days ago, to consider the ex pediency of introducing the Kobers-Cuker system to permit the construction of factories in districts where the supply of beets is insufficient for the operation of large beet sugar plants. Delegates were present from Denmark, Bulgaria and other .countries. The new system is adaptedto plants working 50 to 100 tons of beets daily. It would pay the state of Oregon to investigate this new system It might be profitably used in making the sugar supplies of the various state institutions, from 100 to 200 or more acres of land Sy at the state hospital or the state prison or institution for the feeble minded.

Any one of several big companies could be iuuced to build a factory here, based on long time contracts with reliable farmers to grow from 5000 to 10,000 acres'tof sugar beets over a long term of years. A hundred acres of the-fine land at the cottage farm (state hospital) can be made to produce over 400,000 pounds 4f sugar annually. Some fifteen of the finest Jer sey cattle that ever were seen In Oregon, recently from the isle of Jersey, original home of this strain of cattle, are at the state fair grounds cattle barn9 here and to day may be visited by cattle fanciers.

NEW CO-OP OF CELERY MEN ORGANIZED HERE (Continued from, pass 1) Quality Pack Stressed E. F. Miller, of C. H. Robinson & company, brokers, with head quarters in Chicago, was present at the banquet, having come this way a this time as a coincidence. There were a number of speeches at the banquet, in both Japanese and English. Mr. Miller was called upon to talk about the mar keting end. He said hia firm has been marketing Labish celery since 1917. when one, car was taken, till last year, hen the out put was 500 cars. He told of the fierce competition. The United States shipped 10,000 cars 10 vegetables and fruits last year. They are willing to work with the Labish growers, on the conditions named. We- Beat the Country Robert E. Shinn, new agricul tural agent of the United States National bank, was one of the speakers. He showed that the average production per acre of celery the United States over for five years has been 286 crates. In Oregon it has been 3 85 crates- The average price the country over has been $1.80 a crate. For Oregon celery, it has been $2.11 a crate. For California, It has been $1.98 a crate. Mr. Jones Talks Ronald E. Jones talked at length. Toid all the troubles and difficulties and misunderstand ings leading to the split; to the formation of the new cooperative association. He said the Labish union sold celery In 30 states last year. He said our growers have got to grow and pack bigger and better celery than their competitors. They have got to have high prices- The consumers will pay high prices for quality celery. The whole success here is in a quality article and a quality pack. We have got to raise and ship something special, which we can do. Last year, too much poor cel ery was shipped. Thia must not be repeated. Last year, San Fran cisco took 67 cars of our celery; they got the pick and paid the fancy prices demanded; paid the highest net prices to our growers. The Japanese speakers pledged loyalty to te program of ?-fr. Jonea, who is to be general mana ger and marketing agent, and who is to have cooperation on the part of the growers all down the line. Mr. Miller, in hi3 talk, said that only one district in the United States grows celery to compare in quality with our best Labish product. That is the Chula Vista district, below San Diego in Cali fornia, shipping about 500 cars, in December, January and Febru ary, and now competing with ours. Linn C. Smith of the United States National bank, made a the Labish group always are.
