In fiprTM. Student. Gets
' Top Harvest Berries as
Result Experiment
WOODBURN, Not. 28 Two
yeara ago Joe Serres; high school
student here, rented two acrea of
land from' his father at ten dol
lara an acre and planted Marahall
strawberries. The first year he ln
Teatoried the planting at ISO an
acre or $10 for the patch and
also sold $2t worth of berries. He
placed, this value on the planting
because that was about the aver
age cost of establishing an acre
of atrawberries as determined by
the Oregon experlmenCstatlon 4n
an extensive surrey of berry
farms in the Willamette valley.
His cost was less than this so
that he showed a net profit of
$50.90 and a labor income of
S7S.90.
Last spring the . Woodburn
Fruit Growers' association wanted
. ...inn. vtnJa ant rate
of application of commercial fer
tilisers so Joe agreed to cooperate
by applying fertilizer and keeping
records and the association to
tarnish the fertilizer.
Values Increased
Ten different plots of two
rows each were layad out and the
fertilizer applied in March. Every
plot showed an increased yield
valued at from $8.77 to $37.17
an acre over the average of the
unfertilized area. One year's re
snlta are not considered enough
to draw conclusions from so the
trial will be continued. The fer
tilizer was applied October t
thla year as a field trip of the
third year class which is studying
fruit growing.
Strawberry yields were below
normal last year but the price
was .good and Joe got one of the
best yields in the neighborhood,
resulting in a net profit of $73.21
and a labor Income of $100.41.
His yield was 1872 pounds to the
acre.
Will- Plant More
Next spring Joe plans to rent
five acres more from his father
at $15 per acre cash rent, and
nrea he can afford to pay this
much rather than rent other land
that has not been properly ro
tated in past years. This land is
tiled and has been in clover and
' corn the past two years so should
be high in fertility and relatively
freed of weeds.
Other' Improved prac t i c a
adopted or planned as a result of
the past experience and class In
struction are the check row sys
tem of planting to reduce labor
costs, getting plants from hill
sou as these apparently do better
than local plants, continuation of
fertilizer trials, probably dusting
to control the spittle bug, and
topping and roguelng to reduce
crown borer damage.
Joe missed a year of school be
tween his freshman and sopho
more years in order to take a trip
to Europe wljh his parents to vis
it their old home in Luxembourg.
He is now a senior, and is an ac
tive Smith-Hughes agricultural
worker.

Phase of Prune Packing
Resembles Coal Mining,
But There
Prune growing might have
lacked glamour for Marlon coun
ty farmers this past season, bat
be that as it may, when this writ
er had a chance recently to go
through the cooperative prune
packing plant out on Howard
street, the hundreds of pounds of
prunes there were an Interesting
sight.
Others there maybe even
among the growers who don't
know how prunes are packed. So
those who stay with these print
ed words are going to see what
the writer saw.
Prunes, as everyone knows, are
dried right from the tree. The
dried product is hauled, in this
case, to the co-op plant, where
storage is made and packing
handled as orders come in.
Huge bins, the most elaphan
tine one holding 95,000 pounds,
hold the dried prunes. The aver
age bin contains 50 to 60.000
pounds.
And believe it or not, when
packing begins, these prunes are
so secure In the bins that it Is
necessary to take them out with
pick and shovel!
Except that it is under roof, in
stead of under ground, and that
the "diggers" need bo cap-lights,
the sight bears some resemblance
to coal mining. It really is easy
to imagine the bright, glistening
mass of prunes a smooth vein of
coal.
The prunes are "mined" from
the bin, tossed into small carts
and taken to a bucket elevator,
which conveys them up a story to
the steam bath processor. They
stay briefly In this bath of boil
ing hot water, which sprays them
from the six nozzles: then pass to
steam bath and then are
washed again, being Joggled
about all the time on the con
stantly moving conveyor.
as me rruit emerges from this
conveyor, four women keep an
eagle eye on it to pick from the
moving apron any culls. The
prunes are npt touched by hand
after they enter'- the processer,
where they remain three minute's
under terrlfflc heat.
How really hot they get may be
seen in the fact that the nrunes
run a temperature" of 1(0 de
grees after they are boxed, and
mat it takes them 24 hours to
cool.
from the processor they slide
through a conveyor to the lower
noor again, pile Into a box. where
a man. his eyes on an attached
scale, closes the hopper when the
specified poundage is . reached.
From here they run along an-

HAS BEST PRICES
General Level Said .i 10 per
Cent of Pre-war Aver
age; Dairy Next
Despite unusually heavy egg
production per hen, government
indexes show that the egg and
poultry Industry is In the most
-favorable position of any of the
major farm enterprises, according
to data given in the November re
port of the Oregon agricultural
extension service on th farm
aituatlon. -
The general level of prices for
poultry products on October IS
was 110 per cent of the pre-war
6- year average, which waa higher
than any other group of farm
commodities. Dairy products came
second at IB per cent of the pre
war. Meat animals were 79, fruits
and vegetables 70 and grains 40.
There have been some shifts in
prices since mid-October, but the
general relationship of values is
probably still about the same.
Outlook reports last winter and
spring indicating a. reduction in
the number of hens this fall and
winter have proved correct. A
sarrey of the situation made by
the U. 8. department of agricul
ture ahowed five per cent fewer
laying hens on farms on Novem
ber 1 than a year previous, al
though the average hen was lav
ing io per cent more eggs than a
year ago.
"Unusually mild weather in
October and heavy feeding in
daced by cheap grain and relative
ly favorable prices for eggs were
Important factors in the Increased
rate of laying, says the college
report. The demand was not good
enough to absorb the supplies at
the level of prices prevailing early
In October and the market took
a moderate downturn at a season
of the year when prices are usu
ally still going up.
uoia storage holdings of case
eggs November 1 were 5,750,000
cases, about 1,000.000 less than
a year previous and slightly be
low average on that date, but the
movement out of storage during
October was below last year and
less than average. On the Pacific
coast, egg production is lighter
than last year and storage stocks
less.
"Supplies of poultry In storage
totaled 65,690,000 pounds on No
vember 1, somewhat more than
year previous and slightly above
average, but the in to-storage
movement during October was not
as great as last year or the aver
age for that month. Turkey hold
ings amounted , to 2,301,000
pounds, or less than a year pre
vious and well below average."

Know Your Celery? Then
No Use Telling the Fame.of
That Grown About Labish
By W. R. OWINN.
Are you one of the ' myriad
gourmets who casually reach into
lihe celery salver when It comes
their way, casually dip It lightly
Into the salt, subconsciously note
that it is "pretty fair' celery, and
forthwith pass on to . the next
course content with the bare fact
that it Is celery? If so, you are
alurring one of the most expen
sive and particular of the vege
tables; for celery has its own
technique and it has a story of
especial Interest to Oregonlans,
Salemites In particular:
Not five miles from Salem, on
the Pacific highway north, is
grown a grade of celery unsur
passed in America. In fact, celery
from-Quinaby, twin to the Labish
celery, has gained the blue rib
bon at the World's fair. It was
purely by chance that Lake La
bish failed to get the ribbon the
Quinaby celery land and the La
bish celery land are managed by
the' same man, Ronald Jones of
Brooks, and it chanced that a
Quinaby specimen was 'selected
instead of a Labish specimen.
The secret of the quality of
Labish celery lies largely in the
fact that the Japanese, to whom
the land is leased, are unsur
passed as truck farmers. Their ef
ficiency can be told in statistics:
This fall's crop which has been
completely harvested and market
ed, consisted of some 525 car
loads from 250 acres. An enviable
Tecord? Try to equal it!
Generous With Fertiliser
There is, of course, scientific
method to the Japanese agricul
ture. They are firmly convinced
that money spent - for fertiliser
eomes back with heavy interest
The vast profits in good years
bear ont the truth of the convic
tion. Of course, in years such as
last year, when 'money was es
pecially reticent, people treated
luxuries with considerable uncon
cern; this year celery seems to
have Impressed many as a neces
sity for the price Is again' up to
a fair stanaaru. sz.&o per crate is
a reasonable price, and the pre
vailing one.
Among the fertilisers which
which are spread on lavishly are
potash, super-phosphate. Red
Steer, sheen guano, nitrate of
soda, and others. The Japanese,
with characteristic racial efficien
cy, are continually experimenting
with other fertilizers. The max!
mum of profit from a maximum
of rational Investment seems to
be a profitable policy in the in
stance of celery.
The celery is planted and nur
tured in its tender youth Inside
of hothouses built especially for
the purpose. After it has achieved
the proper development it is
transplanted Into the rich beaver-
dam land, where It grows
throughout the summer and fall.
But unlike Topsy, It doesn't
"Just grow". It requires much the
tender meticulous care of a hot
house bloom.
For example, it must be board
ed up from the ground to the
thick top leaves so that the sun
rays will not toughen It and dis
color it. The white, crisp stalk
that your grocer wraps for you is,
like a lady's complexion, artui
clal and desirable. The bleaching
lends appearance, crlspnesa, and
flavor. If you don't believe it, try
some that is unbleached: It will
prove to be tough and unpalat
able.
Not only must the maturing
celery be boarded up and weeded
frequently by hand It must also
be watered frequently ana scien
tifically, for It Is a thirsty and
pampered child of the son. The
Labish Japanese have installed a
waterinr system of their own
which sprinkles the celery in the
proper amount and at the proper
time. They have merely to start
the engines, and Immediately the
robot JuDlter Pluve is on the lob.
Their system is as nearly fooW
nroof as anything which concerns
itself with growing food from the
soil can be.
Contrary to the popular opin
ion. there are a number of white
men employed by the Japanese,
and the men are always treated
fairly by the Japanese. Truckers,
boxmakers, engine men, lumpers
white men. many .of them.
Celery, in common with other
commodities, must have a market
If it is to be profitable. California,
of course, raises most of its. own
celery. Washington offers a small
market. Other northwestern
states Idaho, Montana and Wyo-
mlnc narticnlarly. but the ma
jority of Oregon celery is
