- The OREGON STATESMAN, ' Salens ' Oregon, Sunday Morning, October 29, 1933 v... .... PACE THREE John E Stump First to Grow Rape and Other Crops In Valley r By BEULAH H. CRAVEN ' MONMOUTH, Oct. 28. John B. .: Stamp, prominent Monmouth farmer.iohserved.hls TSth birth day this week. He was bora Octo ber 22, 1858 on the Stamp farm bordering the Lucklimate riyer, ' and has lived In Monmouth or Its f environs ever since.- Hia father's c people came to Oregon from Ohio V j In-1845. His earliest playmate was ; i the late JPrince L. Campbell. -, Mr. "Stumpy recalls that he was first to try out; a number of en--. terprlsea that have . not only re turned him much profit .but have benefited the entire -Willamette --- Talley, agriculturally.-He was first .to plant rape in the- Talley, trying ,' English rape seed which thrived here. Vetch had not been4 grown In the Talley, and he hadn't an Idea whether or not he could sell ; the crop, but he toot a long ( chance and sowed 70 acres to r start with; It soon became" one of the valuable forage and seed crops r"" la the Talley. ' Always Interested In small anl- xnals, Mr. Stump bought the first .pure -bred sheep brought into the Talley. They were Lincolns. He shipped the first carload of ( ' -i rams i to y eastern Oregon range buyers, . starting a sales market ; that has been of wide commercial J advantage to stockmen. He intro , : dced the first Island bred Jersey . 'cittle into this section, and own- d he4f jrst Jrcheron horses in Goat Brings 91000 He also owned the first An gora goats In the valley; paying . $50 each for his start to a Texas I breeder. Mohair was in demand. and the goats sold readily for breeding stock. In one season he sold six billy goats for $4000, - one goat bringing $1000. The goat market has help up splendid ly until three or four years ago. In 1930 Mr. Stump sold a carload , of goats to Arizona buyers, tak- Ing their notes for same. This season those notes will be redeem ed, as the stockmen there got 40 ,and 48 cents per pound for wool and mohair this summer and are getting on their feet again. He, smilingly admits that he - tried out many schemes in farm ing which did not prove success- fuL His most recent experiment - t has been holly culture. He finds that holly grown on rich, well cul tivated soil la greatly superior to -the dooryard specimens, and the I crop is one that Is always in sea ' sonal demand. : V, . Pioneer Nut Grower He lis known as the veteran pio neer in walnut and fibert produc tion of this region, having reeeiv ed a net return of several thous- and dollars annually for his nut " crop. His first walnut trees were set out more than 25 years ago He gat adosen-graftednrees from Felix Gillette, a Frenchman' In Nevada, this number being the total amount available at that . time. He also set out many seed ling trees, and when their crops proved unsatisfactory he had his orchard grafted. The walnut crop i fitiiJ-,Si.

Talmadge, Sage of Salem It seems to me that a certain motion picture, which ' closed a ten-day run at the Grand, theatre here a week ago. Is deserving of a word or two of honest praise apart from the general run of the atrical coment appearing in the local press. I refer to the picture, Paddy the Next Best Thing," a product of the Fox" studio, featur ing Janet Gaynor, Warner Baxter and Walter Connolly. The picture is clean from the first word to the last. Human as the. folks in the next yard. Romantic. Humorous, with sufficient pathos to give the humor flavor. Community taste is such things varies, I suppose, as individual taste varies. Salem gave pretty definite evidence dur ing the long stay of "Paddy" at Schmidt's Grand theatre what it most enjoys in the waj of motion picture entertainment. There are -usually a number of ways of looking at things. When somebody asked Oliver clutter "How's business?" Oliver replied Plenty o worry about, thank God!" Some of us have our definitions mixed. A calamity is not a calam ity when it is not a calamity. We are aware of this, of course, but we enjoy using words of the kicky sort. NBA seems to be having a bit of trouble with OHN ordinary human nature. Otherwise, reports are encouraging. "One thing that is the matter with humanity: It doesn't eat enough prunes. Carfe to hear the problems of the nation discussed, free hand, free tongue? Saunter along the south side qt the block from Com mercial street to Front at almost any hour of the day and keep your ears open. Half the business affairs of Sa lem are discussed in three of the 50 eating places ot the town. A motion picture of a college football game is shown in the av erage news weekly every day at this season of the year. Interest ing. But little more so than the Liberty street crossings at State and Court of a Saturday after noon. Nothing like a foggy morning to bring an expression of bliss to the countenances of guests from San Francisco or Seattle at the hotels. Perhaps we should apolo gize for our Salem fogs. They are pretty poor fogs, as fogs go. Dry and easily discouraged. All sorts of folks In all sorts of humors, Putting in circuit- all sorts ot rumors. It seams to me a nudist should at least carry an umbrella. is short this season; but filberts have yielded enormously. Mr. Stump is an Interesting demonstration of a successful man who has lived his entire span of years in his home town commun ity, without desiring a change of scene, residentially. " mm'-' " f D. H. TALMADGE It's plumb foolish to guess from the looks of a man that what be says won't be worth listening to. once knew an old rifle that wasn't much for looks, but it shot mighty true. That grand old writer, "Anon said this and It's good: "If you can not make light of your trou bles, keep them dark." r T MONMOUTH, Oct. 28. , home beautification contest spon sored as a 4-H club project by Monmouth's Civic club last sum mer was entered by many local children. Prizes were awarded the winners this week as follows: Mildred Miller and Martha Mae Blair, tied for first; Eunice Pow ell took second ; Margery Cham bers, Jimmie RJddell and John Haller, third, fourth and fifth. Honorable mention went to Char les Miller and, Richard Bond who carried their projects to a success ful close but did not qualify for 4-H club rating. The first prise winners were presented with $3 each In cash; second prize $2, and the others were given 50 cents each. English laurel plants were also given the place winners, and- all received bulbs of iris, tulip, narcissi and other varieties. Pools and rockeries were fea tures of the prize winnnlg gar dens, and the amount of work evi denced was a deciding factor. Eunice Powell, second prite win ner, was the only one of the local group to enter the -State contest at the state fair, and she received second place in that, also. Mrs. F. E. Chambers directed the home beautification work, and served as club leader, and much of the success of the individual projects was due to her resource ful guidance and leadership. I 1 11 MITES FORWARD FAST But Committee Asks Citizens To Submit Ideas on ; Final Layout ; WOODBURN, Oct. 28r Plans for establishing Woodburn's sew park at the corner of Garfield and First streets are progressing rapidly under the management of the park board as apointed recent ly by Mayor W. H. Broyles. Mem bers of the committees are Miss Mary Scollard, Mrs. A. E. Austin, Mrs. Mabel Settlemler and H. M. Austin. J. J. Hall, also appointed on the board, has presented his resignation to Broyles. A succes sor will be appointed as soon as the park board of the city council can get together. Desiring that public sentiment help guide their action, members of the park board are asking sug gestions for a name. . H. M. Austin cleaned up some of the debris on the city prop erty Thursday afternoon. He was assisted by John Muir. A call for volunteer workers to help clean up the grounds was Issued, but either the cal was not known or else unheeded. Fred Hecker Is to plow the ground as soon as the trash is removed. The ground will be seeded to grass next spring. The park board Is also asking that all plans concerning the lay out of the park should be contrib uted. The board wants to make the grounds attractive and the work done by a definite plan, so that possibilities of future changes will be eliminated. Plans how the new park , jshould be If Id out should be on papjer. Thes .should be handed to Miss Mary Scollard, temporary chairman, or any other member of the park board. There is no money available for work on city property. All work probably will be paid for by popu lar subscription. v. -x v i. v T v 5 t s vy-v y-vpi v..- ,1111 ir" 1 V k S&J W Qy" - x !

' Box 22, Oregon Statesman '..V,'.-.,.'.-A-.V, .-.V..''.'lAV spooraii n FOB PUBLIC fc4" ' On a downtown corner the traffic policeman stepped over to the curb where a Ford V-8 was standing. "That's the car tat makes the boys down at the Police Garage get up early mornings," he said. "How is that?" "Well, you see we have two kinds of scout cars and flyers, and the boys hustle down early to get the Fords. If you're. not there first you must take out the other make of car." But why do they all want the Ford?" Safer. Easier to handle. Takes the corners better. A car with Ford springs doesn't lean over or tip on a curve or a quick turn. A police flyer has to be a safe car." j ? It was pleasant to find a layman placing his finger on this exclusive feature of the Ford car, namely, the Ford transverse springs. They are used in our car for the very purpose he described, to perform their triple function of providing comfort, stability and safety. The Bishop came down from the Northwest to Michigan and eventually arrived as every Detroit visitor, does at Dearborn. "I thought ve had pretty nearly all the Ford cars in the world up where I came from." said he, "but I can scarcely see anything else around Detroit." The Bishop is not the first to say that, and what he observed has a meaning. ' People in this Detroit area know cars in a different and more penetrating way than perhaps is possible elsewhere. This is the acknowledged automobile producing, center of the world. Nearly ninety per cent of all cars produced in v the United States are made within a radius of 100 miles around Detroit. Hundreds of thousands of workmen moving from shop to shop know the methods used on each make of car, and by word of mouth they spread complete first-hand Information of manufacturing methods among the people. Suppliers, also know which manufacturers insist on first quality of materials and workmanship. This information also leaks out. , That is, the people hereabouts KNOW THEIR. CARS . And they buy nearly twice as many Fords in Wayne County, the central area of automobile manufacture, as any other make. Wo are naturally a little proud of that fact. .
