Corn and cotton are the principal ctods whose final yield may be changed greatly in the-intervening weeks until picking time, .ims year production of the chief cereal crops is very low, due to bad. conditions last fall and winter and this spring, principally drouth. The wheat crop is the smallest jf the century. Corn is off about-25 from the years of maximum yield. Carry-overs in these grains insure the country against deficiency; but for oats, rye and barley the shortage is not covered by the carry-over. The cotton crop " promises a substantial yield. inese are the crops which are talked about most. But there are other items in the long list which are of great im portance. -Take hay, which seldom gets into the papers, but wnich is a vital factor in the feedmg of livestock, its condi tion is below the 8-year average. Pastures have been burned up so badly that stock will be rushed to market for lack of feed; . : Hops is one crop which shows a distinct increase. The production for the USAJs estimated at 35,513,000 lbs., an in crease of about 11,298,000 lbs. over last year. There's a rea son, of course. n '-. Those who grow flaxseed ought: to"fenjoy fine prices. The yield this year will be le33 than 8,000,000 bushels, com pared with a five-year average of 20,000)00 bushels, and 1932 yield of 11,800,000 bushels! ... Fruit crops show-increases over 1932 because th errm last year was badly damaged by frost through the midwest v Royal S. Copeland, M.D and south.

Total production of peaches is set at 45,553,000 bushels, which is higher than last year's rop of 42,443,000 bushels, but considerably less than the average of 56,575,000 bushels. Pears show an increase from 22,050,000 bushels last jear to 22,281,000 bushels this year. The increases are in California, Oregon and Washington. The five-year average was 22,921,000 bushels. Grapes run less than last year and much below the aver age. Cherries are less than last year, but considerably above , the average. Plums are down : also fresh prunes. Prunes for drying promise to be a bigger -crop than last year, but under the average Walnut production is considerably be low last year both for Oregon and California. The filbert crop is. better. One of the most important' crops is potatoes. Most peo ple eat them at least once a day. The estimated nroduction this year is only 292,668,000 bushels, against 357,679,000 misneis last year and 355,438,000 bushels for five-year aver age. Oregon and Washington show alight increases.

The call to repentance: First Santiam ferry: S Under the heading, "The Call to ; Repentance," George D. Her- ron writes a strong article, print-. ed in a recent number of a ma gazine that comes to the desk of the Bits man: "Contrast for a moment, the potential with the actual world with the world we make and are. Consider the use we make ot our social materials. The possibilities of production have scarcely been touched. In spite ot the centuries of destruction. In spite of the wa tonness and the waste et nature and men, the resources ot the earth are sufficient for the abun dant and happy supply of unreas onable numbers of human beings, not one of whom aeed lack any good thing; not "one of whom need lack opportunity for experi ence and development; not one of whom need lack an utter free dom to dictate and express him self to mankind according to his own mind; not one ot whom need lack the invitation and the In centive to put forth an Individ uality that shall be wholly orlg inal and delightful. There are no limits or bounds to nature's re sources, to the productive possi bilities of labor, or to man's in ventiveness and his soul's ex pansion. An Infinity ot bounty and beauty, of mental enlarge ment and spiritual adventure, is opening its doors before us. thronging and beseeching us, lit erally scourging us with divine invitation. We have but to lift up our eyes and behold; we have but to stretch forth our hands and take; we have but to wiU and to do; and a whole world of unimaginative, blessedness is ours. It is as lf God were on his knees to mankind, begging man kind to accept the keys of hea ven and to enter in.

Consid er the millions of women who lire by selling their flesh who end by rotting in the streets. Consider that the life of the av erage man Is a consuming anxi ety, a pitlous gamble, from the beginning to the end of his days Consider the mental tyrannies, the merciless fear, the hideous hypocrisies, the insolent lies amidst which we socially and in dividually move. And then con sider that, so far as the need of it goes, there is none whatever. So far as our natural and spir itual resources are concerned, they are exhaustlees to a sane society. We are as those who die of thirst amidst rivers ot water. We are as those who die of hun ger .amist houses heaped with bread. And it is all for the lack of a win to work together for the lack of social faith and san ity. It is all for the lack ot fra ternity and freedom in the pro duction and possession of the means of life. It is all for the lack of an actual human so ciety." S First ferry on the Santiam: The Jefferson Review of last week's issue had this article: "There has been a misunderstanding concern ing the owner and operator of the first ferry across the Santiam riv er. Milton Hale operated the first ferry at the pioneer town of San tiam City, a mile below Jefferson on the east bank of the Santiam on what was Sam Miller's land claim a town later deserted be cause of the overflowing of the Santiam at this point. No sign or slightest indication now r- malns to show where once this thriving city stood. Santiam City is one of the ghost cities of Ore gon. Jacob Conser built and op erated the first ferry across the santiam at the present site of Jefferson, about a city block north or the site of the new concrete bridge. Since he operated the first ferry at this point. Conger's name was recommended as an ap propriate name for the modern span across the river here. No credit should be, or is desired to be taken from any pioneer whose work and forethought helped in settling : the west. Mr- Hale should be given credit for operat ing the first of all ferries across the Santiam." , The writer believes Milton Hale was a member of the family of B. F. Hale, born in 1820. and coming from Missouri with the covered wagon Immigration of 1S4S. If not, he will be glad to be corrected. The postoffices in Marlon coun ty In 18 SI were: Aurora Mills, Butteville, Champoeg, Fairfield, ParkersrUle. Salem, Silverton, Sublimity. Santiam City postoffice was in Linn county, on the south side of the Santiam river, though most of the town was on the north side. The flood of 1861-2 wlpeM that then flourishing town almost entirely off the map. S It will be noted from the above list that Woodburn was not born until after 1861; nor Hubbard. Waconda became a flourishing town soon after, being the first overland stage station north ot Salem, and it was dealt almost a death' blow by the coming of. the railroad in 1870, when Gervala was started. In the same way BellepassU a, few miles north, ot Gervais, and dose to the southern limits of the present city ot Wood burn, was given Its Quietus. The center ot the Waconda of that day was about where the Duekin Inn is -now, and the Checkerboard auto camp.

Even though Lent knew that from now on she was utterly independent there was stHt enough of th ehUd ia her to feel excited sm fearful ia the presence of the NavokMcdc -erisa ef evaaaa with the best brain fat the whole industry. Tradition and pohUe-aeclaisa had enshrined GeisteuneM as a demi god. He made and xtnmade careers. He had directed her-last two pic tures had moulded her as a sculp tor moulds clay. What she could not know, of course, was that Herman Gerstea- fieid was more of a slave than abeJ or anyone elsecould possibly be. And now it was going to be her anpleassnt duty to tell him that she was through with him, the movies. with ambition, career and fame. In a way, ah was going to let him down. Leol was aetiv with imagina tion. She knew she waa sour to nit her brain and wfll against a stronger mental fore than any ahej had ever coatacted ia her in. Herman Gerstenfield was- not flesh and blood body he was mental fore vibrating, shattering, bunding, winning! Both men. when Leal came Into the room, rose to their feet at once.

He had brought Win gat along as a pofteniag inflnenc upon Leni. ' Tlme will tell how good huss Laneaka is," said Gerstenneld. with out enthusiasm. He sank back Into his chair and Wlngata took a fountain pen from his pocket and put It on a table be side a legal-looking document with a bine cover which he had, appar ently, been reading before Leni came in. He started to speak and then checked himself. After aS, Wingato was the figurehead. Ger stenneld the real power. .

Wingato watched her with ad- mirat ion, hia eye keenly apprecia tive of the attractive picture she Iprasentod. ' Her small feet were rn green silk moles. Above these-were pa- Jama trousers of thick and heavy ynr silk. Her Jacket was. cloth of. gold wrapped across the perxee- tiea of her breast, and tied on one slender hip with two green ribbons. Her golden hair was loosely oiess ed. an annate shimmer of light. She Leoked fragile yet iaau and-l full of th kind of energy that the celluloid could pick ap and repro duce as gorgeous vitality. Gersten neld decided mentally that lis would photograph her ia the next picture ia the Identical eostnme she was now wearing. "We've had lunch, thank you.' said Gerstenfield. "LaVs get down to business. -How do you feel we've treated you oa the matter of year contract in the past? Tve no complaint whatever," said Leni agreeably.' Gerstenfield grunted. "I should think so. We're already paying you more money than you ever dreamed of.1 "Leai'a been lacky," added Win- gate sofuy. Leni sat down and crossed th silken folda ef her peiama clad leg, This Leni, with her charm capable of da tiling millions from the screen, was. to these men apparently nothing mere than a business op- nirhtr He laughed with aa ease ef man ner aad took hold of her hand and led her on to Gerftanfield, The best bet ia pictures today.

Her voice was smooth, sweet like honey. "Tve been lacky, indeed, and hi quite true that I am making more money now thaa I ever- dreamed of. But we've all done well together, have n't we? X understand that my pie tares have been very peafitshle-foT the studio. I mean if I should quit now, we'd all be ahead of the wouldn't we?" Wingates large and-loos down's month smfled, tolerantly. "Until your last picture yoa had other stars of proven drawing pow ers with you, darling, and we gave yoa a great story for year last picture, too. If I may say so, the kreetiea counted for a greet deal.' "Indeed yes th direction was saperh, Ned," said Leni quickly. "Mr. CUrstoafielA was inspired.' This hind of talk made Gersten field -uncomfortable His eyes were bammg like smoky torches and for the foarth time in the test fifteen narrates he looked at the watch stiauped to his wrist. "Let's cot oat tossing , the flowers and come back to earth,"-he said flatly. "Th box flffke will tell how good or bad either of yoa Under your old contract, Miss Ln neska, yoa have still a year to run with as at your present salary. In this business we've get to gamble on oar stars. Your last picture looks fair, bat we cant toll much about its earning power for some months yet. It may make money all over the country and it may flop. Outside of one or two favor ites, you foreign stars are about the wont gamble in picture busi ness." . "That's true." said. Wingato. "The public likes its American girls." And then the great Gerstenfield pontificated: "There has been some sentiment in our company to let your contract expire. On the ether hand, a few of as thought there was an outside chance of" putting yoa ever. Frankly, your th big gest gamble w have among oar stars, bat we're willing to take a chance en you. We've prepared a five-year contract with. the cus tomary options. You'r getting a healthy salary now bat we're go ing to doable H. To speak plainly, I think th company is far too gen erous. Nevertheless, I've brought the contract with me and we're her to sign it." - v Wingato was robbing his hands together and smiling loosely at fXjeni. "The .Usckiest girl ia pictures!" he said entranced. "TH say sol" retorted Gersten field. , Gerstenfteld'reyes were fixed up on her with what amounted almost to hypnotic intensity. There was a persuasiveness about the man, a erode dynamic force that beat agahast her as definitely yet as in visibly as a steady wind. H got-op ot f . his chair sud denly as though he loathed the softness ef its cushions. Leni neither Jiked nor disliked him bat her intelligence told her that thn motion picture industry had sot produced" another man of equal strength. After a few minutes under his speu, one ceased to re gard him as a physical man and sensed him only a some mysterious electrical concentration ' of will power. He was neither honest nor dis honestmerely, he got what he a anted. It was not easy for her to cross purposes with him. Yet oat- of her heart flowed a protective force that gathered around her like a delight ful cloud. Tm so terribly sorry for your sake, Mr. -Gerstenfield," said Leni. "No one could help wanting to do whatever yoa say. Stm. I'm not go ing to sign year contract, ra through with pictures forever." "Are yoa insane or axe yea bluf fing?" asked. Gerstenfield, cold as ice. "Neither." said Leni. "I happen to he la love." "I knew it was one or the other," Gertoafild said, a shad ef relief in his vwiee. "Yea're iaaaae!" The tinging sensation in Leni's heart became acutely pleasant. What did it matter if Gersten field called her insane? Poor man - what could he, with his contracted heart and his frigid will-power, know of love? Wingato was all for making a Hoke of LenTs desertion of the pic- tares. He picked ap her hand aad planted a lingering kiss open it. "Love ia nu-tsssij to a career," he said gaUz. Tve been ia lever myself fourteen times in the last two years bat I've never wanted to quit my Job on account of K." "Nevertheless, gentlemen, 1 am leaving the pictures," affirmed Leni with a quiet smile mere convincing than if she had pounded the table. At this there waa a moment of silence. Gerstenfield, aH eyes, tried to capture her gase bat Leni was looking at Ned Wingato who re lactanfly released her hand. CTe Be CbatiBacd) CoerritW. 1SJ2.
