(AP) Alran Lear Black. Balti more publisher, was overtaken ty misfortune today on the first lap of his return flight from Cape Town to London. Engine trouble forced a hazardous landing of fc's big plane on a narrow strip ci teach near Ventimiglia. The plane came to rest near a fence flanking saline of cottages. It will be impossible for the ma chine to take off from that posi tion so It will be placed on a pon toon and towed to St. Raphael. There a new engine will be fit ted after which the machine will be flown to London. Mr. Black said that he would return to London immediately tak ing his chief pilot, G. T. Geysen dorffer, with him. The machine will be left In charge of reserve pilot Johann Scholate and mechan ic Van Trlet.

The styles then changed and trimmings on hats were ta boo. Girls gradually dropped out f the class and eventually Miss Funston was discharged. She then filed suit for rein statement and to collect back sal ary from June 8, 1927, until the date of final judgment in the litigation. Miss Funston alleged that under her contract with the school board she could be dis missed only for incompetency. The circuit court for Multno mah county returned a verdict in favor of Miss Funston.

Equivalent of 100 Cars of Head Lettuce will be Sent From Our Section This Year i -. . . , This Will About Double Average Output of Recent Years; There Is Certain' to bcvclo-) Here a Gi- . gantic Head Lettuce Industry (Held over from "March SI) Editor Statesman: Answering your inquiry regard ing the head lettuce industry. It is impossible for me to tell you all about the industry, but I can Kive you what little information fl have. t "The acreage of early spring let tuce, which is the main lettuoa crop in the Lablsh district, has been about the same for the last three or four years. However, weather conditions and-growing conditions have varied very much, so that the amount of lettuce ship ped and sold has varied from as high as 21 ears in 192S. to no cars last year. This year the acre age, I believe. Is a little heavier, and the condition now is very good. First Crop in May This lettuce is ready to go on the market about the middle of May, and the spring rush is about the ISth of June. Most of the growers use lettuce as a crop to bring them early money,- as It is harvested before celery or onions, and this money comes in at a time when it is most needed. Also the ground can be set to celery after the lettuce is taken off. so that whatever they get out of the let tuce crop is clear profit. When the season has been fa vorable we had have had the fin est lettuce in the country grown in the Labish district, but the past two or three seasons we have "been unable to produce a high quality lettuce. Lettuce, in 'order to sell on the market under present con ditions, must be good, firm.solid heads, and if they are a little soft it is practically impossible to get any kfnd of a market tor It, . From $000 to Nothing To show the variation in the crop and what Is possible If con ditions all work rlht, I can cite one grower's experience of selling lettuce off of one acre of ground in one year amounting to S690.OO and the next year plowing the whole crop under, receiving noth ing. At the pressnt time It will be Impossible to make a large lettuce deal in this district, because some portion of the country is flooding the market with lettuce In prac tically all seasons of the year, thus making it impossible to tell whether the market will be high enough to justify shipping it. - ' As a side line with the celery and onion industries, lettuce works very well, bringing 1 n money early in the spring when it is most needed. y I should Judge there wllf bo around f0 acres of lettuce to be harvested In our district this sea son. , ' R. B. JONES. Brooks, Ore.. March 26, 1929. . (Mr. Jones is manager for a group of the growers in the Brooks district in the shipping and marketing of their head let tuetTtnd celery and other crops. Ed.) Perhaps 100 Cars A larger acreage than hereto fore is in head lettuce in the La blah district for the coming spring crop. It is possible that the output wlU be as high as the equivalent of 100. ears, and it is next to cer tain that it will be 70 to 80 cars, or about twice as much as the ave rage output of the past few years. The marketing of the crop last year and the year before was prac tically an "local." that is in Salem and other markets within truck ing distance, and by express ship ments np and down the coast. f JffifiBHi 1 jTlJ FU Waff lifUii' lab4Mte It A m mm mm I snavstjM nMBk n r- T-n.v ... . ..Biawfc, , Kit 's ' Waste Your We will be gl&d to go to your place, and pay the foil value.

Sm a DATE BZBK ' JZAJJEJVS NAME HERE. DOUGUTON & SHER Vlil ' Roy K. Fnkuda. the weU known leader among the labish growers, commenced experimenting with head lettuce there- several years ago. The growing of the crop on a commercial scale was well be gun In 1924. Experiments are still going on. v " The seed is planted under glass by. the Lablsh growers about the first of January. Field setting of the plants began about two weeks ago, and was finished about a week ago. They grow only the New York (or Iceberg)- variety. They turn off the crop 'In May and June. They strive to grow solid .heads. That is the wanted kind, for the markets; especially ' the distant markets, in car lots. The seed Is American grown, but none of it is produced locally. Our growers prefer two year old seed, as tend ing to give solider heads. ' " As all the Labish- lettuee men are celery growers, they produce mainly the spring crop, putting their land into celery as a second crop. Thus they make lettuce a side line; by-product and a prof itable one, when they get a good yield of the right quality, and se cure fair prices. a. Future of Industry Mr. Fukuda told the Slogan ed itor on Thursday that they could do better if they could graw a head lettuce for the markets of July and August, instead of May and June. They would get better marketing conditions. Bat they cannot do this, owing to the nec essity of getting a celery crop. And high quality July and August head lettuce cannot be success fully grown under their condi tions. But experiments are being made in the Oregon coast districts, as la the Tillamook country, with head lettuce for. the . July and August markets. The same with peas. Indications are that this will become a large and regular indus try for j the- sections near the ocean. ,' ." - Santiam District Good Mr. Fukuda regards the San tiam Irrigated district as adapted to the head lettuce industry. He expects to see 'experiments, a ready made there, lead to a gi gantic industry. ; Mr. Fnkuda is advising a lar ger use of potash in the fertil izer, as conducive to the growing of firmer heada of lettuce. The prices the growers get for their head lettuce run from 1 1.50 to 2 a crate. Some of the car lot shipments from the Labish district hare In the big Eastern markets topped the product from every section of the country in price, selling on quality. This all leads-to the sure pre diction of a great industry coming from modest beginnings here be cause the use of this product is growing every year and is bound to continue, owing to the fact that up to date dietary knowledge de mands the largei use of this leafy vegetable more and more generally. Denial Week is. Being Observed "Self-Denial Week" Is being ob served bv the Salvation unr in Salem ending Saturday night. runas going to the general treas ury of the army. All soldiers in the organization are required to give funds from their absolute needs, making a real sacrifice for the gift. Officers in the army are required to donate their week's salary. To date, nearly $409 has been raised. IIEIM MILLER TD SETTLE M BK Make New Owner Satisfied is Theory on Which He Will Work Kenneth Miller of Portland, re cently appointed agricultural and livestock agent for five railroad i in the northwest, has plans to help in the settlement of Oregon but not by the usual methods. r Miller's Idea Is to locate settlers where they can make money and be prosperous; not to locate them In a place where some real estate agent sells them land and waits until the purchaser falls and then gets another buyer i to take over the property. -. Too much land settlement in the past has been done with the idea of selling property rather than pleasing the new arrival. Mil ler believes. Until recently Miller was con nected with the state chamber of commerce in its land settlement work but within the last fornight he has been appointed as agricul tural and livestock agent for the Spokane, Portland A Seattle Rail way Co. In this capacity Miller will travel from Spokane to south ern Oregon. His headquarters will be with the railroad in Portland. BERLIN. Apr. 4.
