Tarm Editor, The Statesman
A general round-up Monday on
results of the week-end storms on
valley ianches revealed consider
able variation In the intensity of
the rain, hail and wind.
In some areas the rainfall was
comparatively light. In other ar
eas, just a few miles away "the
heaviest rain storm in many
years" was reported. As a whole
renorts indicated much more good
than harm would result from the
rain. j
Berry growers, in particular,
were happy at the downpour. Had
the rain not come the berry sea
son, especially on the valley floor,
would have been very short. Ber
ries were already failing to devel
op properly and those offered were
small. The rain was sufficient to
give good growth to the many
small green berries on the valley
vines. Jn a few areas, the berries
were reported badly beaten from
the hall. Monday's berry harvest
was definitely muddy.
Rains Beneficial
In the hill areas, where the lar
gest harvests come from, the rains
were definitely pronounced bene
ficial. Picking, with the exception
of a few scattered fields, had not
yet begun. The entire crop,in the
hills was expected to be much bet
ter foe the ram. In the lower sec
tions jf the hill country, particu
larly ii the large strawberry area
east and south of Silverton, pick
ing started in some fields Monday,
although many growers who had
planned to start Monday postponed
picking until Tuesday and Wed-1
nesday. In the higher areas pick
ipg is; not expected to start until
late in -the week.
Cheirry growers in Polk county
said the cherries were not far en
ough along to be harmed, but pro
bablyfwould develop much better
for the rain. Close watch, how
ever, Swill have to be kept to cov
er cherries again with cherry fruit
fly bait. A few orchards had been
sprayed Just prior to the week
end rain. These will have to be
sprayed or dusted again.
Damage Reported
In the Bethany district to the
west between Silverton and Mt.
Angel, some damage was reported
in grain fields and orchards. In
one apple orchard leaves were said
to be stripped from the tree and
much of the young fruit knocked
off. J Remaining fruit was badly
brvused. Toward Brooks some
grain growers reported the heads
of oats broken off.
Vetch and alfalfa fields not vt
cut are flattened out. Many of the
neias or gcass as well as clover,
grown for seed are also laid low
in j Polk and Marion counties.
While a portion of this may rise
again, a good share will remain
down, making harvest more difficult

Monday, the rain was "a million
dollar, event" adding, "if it just
jaoesn i Keep ,up now and spoil the
good it has i done." Continued rain
could soon rot the . berries and
spoil the grass and hay.
Late seeded barley, and there
was much of it this vear. was
greatly benefited. Clover 1 planted
in May, ang not sprouting because
of lack of moisture in the soill will
get off to a good start. The few
hundred acres of flax planted in
the valley this spring was greatly
benefited. Flax growers felt the
weather gods had been very much
against tnem tnrouehout the nast
three months. Continued earlv
rain prevented working of the
sons so xnat tne crop could not be
seeded in time. The continued Hrv
May prevented the flax from pro
perly growing after the small
acreage had been planted. Farm
era reported inches added to the
growth of late planted grains and
flax, and that forage fields, such
as clover and grasses, already har
vested, were 4 taking on splendid
new growth, a definite boone to

Dean Prosser
The number of present day law
students incapable of spelling
common words and unable to
place their thoughts on paper in
an. understandable manner is in
creasing, William L. Prosser, dean
of law at the University of Cali
fornia, told the Lawyers' Alumni
association of Willamette univer
sity here Sunday.
Prosser said he didn't know
where to plate the blame but
commented that when a student
with 16 years of preparation and
an AB degree is so inadequately
prepared there is something rad
ically wrong with the current ed
ucational methods.
The speaker denounced the
question and answer form of ex
aminations now used in both
secondary and high schools
throughout the nation. He said
this type of examination can be
graded by an assistant janitor.
Prosser also contended the
question and answer examinations
prevented the student from form
ing and expressing his own
thoughts. "It certainly is too
mechanical for any good to the
student," Prosser continued. "They
also tell me they are teaching
phonetic spelling."
Prosser said he could well un
derstand that because of the
amazing number of law students
who are unable to spell most
common words. "I consider the
English language, both spoken and
written, the backbone of the law
yers day by day work," Prosser
averred.
He said many lawyers are in
adequately trained for the pro
fession. District Judge Joe Felton pre
sided and Introduced the speaker.
