PAGE FOUR Hie OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, May 19, 1929 Hfs-oieui SALES II All Former Records for April Smashed by 1929 Sales Willys-Overland achieved the greatest April sales record in its history with a total sale of 40, 248 Whippets apd Willys-Knights. This Is marked increase over the April, 1928, sales which, up to the present year, held the all time April record. A significant fact In the April business, which will have an in fluence in profits for the month, was the greatly increased sale of the company's higher priced mod els. Sale of the Willys-Knight "70 B" models and the Whippet Six line constituted 50 percent of the total sales, the remainlns 50 per cent covering the Whippet Four line. Compared with March of this year, April Whippet Six sales show an Increae of 30 percent while an increase of 11 percent i s ahown In Willys-Knight sales. A QUEEN FOR A KNIGHT wran SH BEETS HERE As long as a quarter of a cen tury ago, experiments were made in the Salem district in the grow ing of sugar beets. At that time, beets were grown in the sandy bottom land soils of the west side that went as high as 25 per cent in sucrose (sugar) content, which is about as high as has been reached anywhere in the world, and is more than 10 pounds to the hundred higher than the average even in the best beet growing countries. In 1924, thee were nine trial plats la sugar beets In this dis trict, and in 1925 there were 17 such plants, and they el showed a commercially sufficient per acre tonnage and a large enough suc rose content to rank them in the class feasible for sugar factory supply. The highest sugar con tent was 18 per cent, and the av erage around 15 per cent. And this In face of the fact that both were dry summers and no irriga tion was employed, and all types of our soil were used, over a wide section of country. Some High Records For small parts tof the plats in 1925, there were records of per acre tonnage as high as 24. and the average for the two years was around 15. This shows conclusively that we grow a 15 per cent sugar con tent beet here, and with quantity yields of 15 tone to the acre, even on average and in poor seasons, and without irrigation. Under the best conditions, with cur Lest soil types, and with irri gation, we can go as high as any district in the world. j "So we have a real beet sugar factory country, without question. Nature has taken care of thU necessary end of the coming in dustry, and has done it to the point of near perfection. This all gleans a certainty of rugar making here. We should make our own sugar. We are great consumers of sugar, with our canning and packing indu tri 3, that ae always growing every year, and with our state in stitutions with their mounting populations. aft " hiwu::swJ- v,-t.J,-..-,..-..Sv...-w.,.-. --f.-..'.v,...T.A.,-r,. - -..

Censorship Threat Held Over Heads of Free French Group By JOHN EVAN'S (Asooriatcd Press Staff Writer) PARIS. (AP) Censorship of books, plays and pictorial art again is up for debate. Those who "express" themselves are deemed by many to have gone too far. Some of the plays, in numerable books and quite a lot of pictures cause critics to reach far afield for vague phrases to in dicate the subject. France constantly boasts that art Is free here but "The Interme diary." the organ of the book trade. Inquiries where freedom ends and license begins. The Idea of censorship is repellent to artists and writers but there Is fairly wide agreement that the situation needs correction.

ISIEBKUY STRIKES IN FOREST Sturdy Oaks, Once Planted for British Navy, Slowly Dying BRISTOL, England (A P) What might have been a great British navy is dying north of here of a mysterious malady. It la the famous Forest of Dean planted shortly after the Napol eonic wars to provide oak for a greater fleet than the England of Nelson's time had seen. Now thousands of the great trees are shriveling, their trunks covered with moss and fungi. Foresight Not Good r The planting seemed a splendid bit of foresight but by the time the oaks were grown the armored fighting ship was beginning to crowd the frigate off the seas. Meant to resist the pounding of waves and battle the oaks of Dean have been transformed instead in to wagon scantlings. As they ma tured they were cut down about 300 acres a year and more of them planted to make more wagons. Perhaps It la of disappointment and, wounded pride that the For est of Dean is dying. Experts ad mit they are Ignorant of the ex act nature of the ailment; but they have advanced several theor ies. One is that the conversion of parts of the forest Into coal and iron mining districts has caused atmospheric pollution harmful to the trees. Another la that a hith erto unclassified fungus causes the mischief.

GANDHI BLAMES SELF Disciples Lapses Are Shared by Leader S A Y S HE'S IMPERFECT BOMBAY (AP) Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian mystic and Home Ruler leader, reveals that worldlinesa has Invaded his own lnstiution at Ahmedabad where his disciples practice -extreme as ceticism and "non co-operation." But he adds that through these experiences h e hopes t o gain greater control of himseelf. The lapses reported by the pro phet involve even his own family. Gandhi takes upon his own shoul ders the blame for these faults ln a signed article published in his weekly newspaper, "Navon Ji van." Gandhi cites three cases ln his story. The first is that of his own cousin 'who committeed petty lar cenies from time to time until he was discovered by chance. The offender had left the institution. The second case concerns the mystic's vow of property, Gandhi says, his wife has twice been discovered ln posses sion of small sums of money for her own use. The third case Gandhi cites is that of a young man who disre garded his vow of celibacy. "I hold these manifestations of corruption in the Institution to be merely a reflection"' of something wrong in myself, Gandhi contin ues. "I hate nener 'claimed per fection for myself. Who knows how my aberrations ln the realm of thought have reacted on the en vironment around me? "The epithet 'Mahatma' (Grea Soul) has always galled me am now it almost sounds to me like a term of abuse. "This institution Is hjr best creation. I hope to see God through its aid.
