Storm Signal Against tSond issues
rTlHE prices -of government bonds have been slipping, not
I just the bonds of obscure provinces in some South Amer
ican state, but the bonds of the United States of America,
strongest country in the world, and now the -storehouse .of
nearly half the world's gold. The sales! do not mean that the
security back of the bond is impaired; or that people are
'tA" rWr will nnt be! redeemed. Instead they show that
the government bond market is
with the low interest bonds.
-This may serve as an answer to tnose who ioox compla
cently on the government's financial dilemma and think it
i W tn hftlance the budiret by emissions of government bonds'.
iThat is the road which many
them in the quagmire of national insolvency.
I The oaly sound; ways of balancing our budget are to
spend lesa and tax more. Both cures will doubtless be needed.
Pres. Hoover is pressing hard for economies in ther ordinary
expenditures of the government, and with real success. There
is danerer that under the guise of "employment relief" many
interests and communities will rush to congress, hat-in-hand,
seeking large government appropriations for public works
of doubtful value. This would quickly moreJtnan sap up we
minor savings in administrative costs, s -rt
I We can increase the taxes, soaking the men with big in
comes, the "higher brackets" as they are commonly called. In
.1929 there were 26 who had incomes of over $5,000,000. They
surely can afford to pay heavy taxes. However if all the 26
gave all their incomes to the government that wouldn't bal
ance the budget. Tax increases will have to reach ; farther
down the linethan just the top crust, and 1931 isn't 1929
even for the business coons.
Small Colleges Gain
YEARLY reoorts indicate that
Hl sity and state college are either, about the same as la3t
year or somewhat under the figures previously attained. It
is always difficult to; make exact comparisons until the stu
dents are all registered. The smaller colleges of the state, so
far as reported, show) increased registrations. This is true of
Willamette, which fias the largest registration in its history,
of Albany college, of Pacific university. The shift is not sur
prising. The state schools were the subject of much adverse
publicity la3t spring and summer. Their budgets were trim
med, their courses were long uncertain. Moreover they didn't
advertise, issued tbeir catalogs very late. Apparently no ef
fort was made to get students other than football players.

The city of Portland got no-bidders on $200,000 of bonds offer

of local significance is that the Baar and Cunningham report setting
up a financing plan for ''mountain" water was computed on a basis
of issuing $3,600,000 city bonds at 4' per cent. Experienced bond
men expressed the opinion that there would have, been no takers of

Our fig Bur bank:
B. B. Amend, of the Wlllam
ette Fig Gardens, Inc., is back
again this year at the state fair,
n his usual place, the northeast
corner of the big pavilion. 4
W
Mr. Amend is the Burbank of
the fig industry of Oregon and
the other states lot the Pacif lo
northwest. And he Is himself
largely a Marion county exhibit:
a matter of pride to residents of
this county.
U -
Isaac Amend, his father, had a
farm four miles southeast of Sa
lem. Though B. R. was born at
Gallon. 15 miles north of Cincin
natl, Ohio, Jie spent his boyhood
days on his father's Marlon coun
ty farm. Mrs. Amend was Hattle
Kirkpatrick of Aumsvllle.
When B. R. was 17 he went
with his brother and they en
gaged, in running saw mills; two
years J at West Stayton and three
years above Sublimity.
la V
Then B. R. Amend went to Cen
tralia. Wash., and worked in shin
gle mills there. While thus en
gaged he lost an arm. Notwith
standing this handicap, in 190S
he entered the employ of the Kil
ham Printing and Stationery-company
at Portland, and remained
with that firm until 192S. in
charge of their credit department.
But he was during the latter
part of this period conOantly ex
perimenting with things in the
horticultural field and so he
drifted into his specialty, fig
growing. This was a field that re
quired Infinite patience. 'When
Mr. Amend began in this line, no
fig trees were grown In this sec
tion that were sure bearers. In
the first place, figs In their native
countries will not bear without
the presence of fig wasps to sting
their blossoms. The fig wasp can
not live here; it must have a
warmer climate. !
V V
So varieties had to be develop
ed by experimentation that would
bear without the fig wasp sting.
A rather large order. ,Then, too.
varieties must be produced that
would be more or less cold resist
ing. Another large. order.
V V
Bat Mr. Amend found the quest
interesting, fie soon saw- that -hie
was making progress. He was fill
ed with the enthusiasm that
thrilled j Lather Burbank, the
plant wizard. Mr. Amend has eome
to see his fig dreams come true.
Though i he Is by no means
through, i after thousands of; ex
periments. '
V
The mother garden occupies a
quarter of a block in the city of
Portland, at 355 Willamette: boul
evard. Trial gardens have been
conducted from Seattle, Wash,,
to Medford, Oregon. One of the
singularly successful plats was at
Sllverton. This one has been sold.
mm
The operations are now under
the company name and direction,
the Willanvette Fig Gardens, Inc..
organized in 192S, with 125,000
capital. Mr. Amend la president,
J. S. Brooks of the Kllham print
ing concern Is secretary and
treasurer; and Barney Mays, sec
retary for BushOng & Co., print
ers, Portland, is rice president.
They have their nursery and or
chard In one of the Portland sub
urbs, covering six acres, and two
acres near Newberg; the latter
planting being most favorably lo
cated. The fig will adjnst Itself to
more .locations than will the fruits
having acid content. But the fig
needs a south exposure, to get the
sun. And l it needs a well drained
soil, and a place not In frost belts.
It needs especially to be In a place
free from cold northwest winds.
It should have good air drainage,
but not freezing winds.
.. V ' -
. Mr. Amend's company has all
the business it can handle, both
present nursery stock and orch
ard trees; more. In fact. In some
lines. The candled figs are put up
by regular candy factories, and
they would take more than the
present supply. The same with
some' of the preserved and other
specialty products.

Mr. Amend has developed four
varieties ot figs that are success
ful here; that are self-nollenislng:
require no wasp sting; They are
me Listtaruia, a White- Asiatic
honey fig; the Granata, a blaek
Persian tig; the Gillette, a yellow
French fig. These three have
toven all right during a term
of years. Trees are scattered all
over western Oregon and Wasb
ington; some further afield. Sa
lem has a number of them. Mrs.
M. N. Chapman, f2t Norih
Church, has some, good ones. '
a I
A fourth variety, thelNeveralla,
a blue Syrian fig, has lately been
added to the big four of the Ore
gon fig family. Mr. Amend has
experimented with this Syrian fig
for. IS years. Some trees In Ore
gon are 20 years old. He finds It
one of the best; the fruit suitable
for all purposes to which any'fig
grown In th world IsJ put. And
figs are used In more ways, per
haps, than any other fruit grown
in the world.. In fact, fmore figs
than any other fruit are produ
ced In the world. ,

was it difficult? When a! dentist

straight away he was headed for
that hill. It's easy to ride a buckj
ing horse aa long as he is headed
up hill, but here ,1s a trick the
doctor failed to name: .That horse
traded ends. Instead of looking up
that steep, hill and wondering
how far he was going, I suddenly
began looking dow- at ' the spot
where the ride started. Now ! saw
daylight, for it is quite another
matter to ride a horse bucking
down hill. I saw that spot ot
ground, through a cloud, yet it was
a clear day, I saw a blacksmith's
anvil, it turned into a block ot
pavement. "I chose to light on
it, bnt'found It to e the hardest
thing I ever met When I looked
up I saw a black horse with a
senile on, but no rider, he was
coming towards me, out of f the
clouds I saw the frogs on his

ears as his feet hits the ground,
Someone brought me a drink.7 I
asked how high that horse threw
me. "About a mile." Now If any
one doubts the mile let them go
up, as I did, and measure the dis
tance down, rather than stand on
the ground and try to estimate
the distance up. It anyone doubts
the possibility ot a man living af

Now why wasn't I out there at

Well, I can explain that to my
own satisfaction anyway, if not to
others. 1 was about 30 years old

That was about 30 years ago and
it I live to have my way about it.
