The Statesman I visited the wholesale' produce dealers In Salem this week and found out that if mid-Talley resi dents dont have the proper vege tables and fruits in their diet it Is their own fault. L . ,' There are three large general wholesale produce dealers in Sa lem and these have the most amaz ing array of fruits and vegetables. Unless X had seen it myself, . X doubt I could have believed that to much variety was available -through Salem wholesale fruit and vegetable markets or that such quantities were supplied by local Willamette valley growers. Besides the produce supplied locally, car loads are being brought In from other states and other countries. rink. Grapefruit Here " The first carload of pink grape fruit arrived early this week from Texas. K couple of carloads of summer Valencia oranges were coming in this week. The oranges, coming from southern Calilornia, will not all go to Salem, but will be distributed between Eugene, Saem and Porjtland. 1 . A carload of bananas came into Salem Wednesday. These were grown in Central America under in-iffatinn. Few bananas, one of h wholesale dealers told me, are row picked in the wilds as lor saerly. They are grown under cul- iHmi mnA after each CTOD is harvested the plantation, owner Brings in Duuaozers tuiu unw down the trees. They re grow and produce bananas all In one year. As a result the fruit is much larg er than the old uncultivated va rieties were. - i Netted Gem potatoes are begin ning to arrive from Sunnyside, arich mntt from Redmond in east- i , i i . ern uregun. xn one wi" X found some good loo King pears Snt not many of them) from Hood River, and in another I found some pears as well as prunes irom aa tma.

More than 100 crates of lettuce (each crate containing three to four dozen heads) .are : used In Salem daily, and almost M crates of celery are used. Tarns Look Geod Sweet potatoes Just began com ing In from California this week and I found five baskets of Louis iana yams ready- to leave the wholesale houses for Salem re tail markets. The yams, because of the freight rates, are thrown in higher price brackets than art the sweet potatoes, but they look ed exceptionally fine. - Just as I was leaving one of the wholesale houses, A. W. (Sam) Stysset of Gervais, Route 1, ar rived with the first load of Ice cream melons of the year. I stayed long enough to taste them 'and found that the sunny late sum mer had given them unusually fine flavor and Inside coloring this season. Salem, I learned. Is the center af ana ef the eoasfa hi ff rest veff- e table producing areas, and Salem residents use a big quantity of the - locally grown produce. Besides Valley Fruit and Pro duce Company, the two other Sa lami wholesale distributors are Beaver State Produce company and Pacific Fruit and Produce com Pny - .

(Farm photo for the Statesman.) Winter Peas Crop to Lose Price Props Government price support pro tection was withdrawn this week from Austrian winter peas. The United States department of agriculture, which will take over bulk of the three-times ' normal 1950 crop is carrying out price support committment of $A&2 a hundred pounds to growers, will exclude peas from the 1931 pro gram. On other varieties of winter cover crop seeds, of which Oregon is a major producer, the USDA in creased 19S1 rates on hairy vetch and crimson clover, but reduced the supports for common ryegrass and common Willamette vetch. -. Next year's support on hairy vetch will be $1.70 a hundred pounds, up 20 cents from this year's $14.50. Crimson clover la up 20 cents to $18.50. Common ryegrass will be prop ped at $5.75 a drop of 89 cents. The support on common and Wil lamette vetch will be $5, a 97 cent cut from this year.

Williamson, Aurora, with $1 - cows and 41.9 pounds of fat Tenth place went to Elton Watts of Silverton with a 9 cow herd of artificially bred first and second calf heifers making 41.7 pounds of fat Credit should also go to H. Kehr 11 and Sons of Woodburn for a 90 cow herd averaging 38.4 pounds of fat and St Benedicts of Mt Angel with 75 cows that made 3S.7 pounds of fat. Thirty-three Marion county cows topped 75 pounds of butter' fat in August Despite dry hot weather, a combination of silage, irrigated pasture and good feed ing practice by dairymen have kept production up. Holsteln at Top Walter and Clarence Duda'of Mt Angel kept their number one Hol- stein at the top of the list with 121 pounds of fat In her fifth month. She produced 2,181 pounds of milk in the 31 day period. An drew Kehr 11 and Son, Woodburn, rated second with a registered Jersey making 108.0 pounds of fat and 1,934 pounds of milk. Cows with over 90 pounds of fat were tested In the Convent herd at Mt Angel at 94.4 pounds, and St Benedict's Abbey with 962 pounds and 93.9 pounds of butterfat C J.

Three year old honors went to p. A. Par ton's Jersey "Babe." She produced 529.4 pounds of fat and 8,545 pounds of milk in 10 months. W. Frith, St Paul had the top Oanch Hlomblings "Willamar" is the attractive herd name recently registered . by Harold M. and Helen M. Cherry of Salem for their Holrtein-Fries-ian cattle. It is recorded by the Holstein-Friesian association of America. We like the. idea of names for places, particularly reg istered names. There seems to be getting too many duplications in our surnames and a registered name for a place is not so easily duplicated. Two brothers were named off! cers of the Portland Livestock ex change when Robert L. Clark, cattle salesman for BoDine ' & Clark, livestock commission com pany was named president of the group, and Prosser E. Clark, hog salesman for the same house, was elected secretary. Both brothers are widely known throughout the valley. In going back to names on places, we stopped at the Robert Harper farm north of Salem be cause we liked the farm sign there. The painting and woodwork, says Robert cost $25. The post can be as cheap or as expensive as one likes. This particular pole is of steel and more costly. But tne sign is really most attractive. While there we got to discuss lng grass with Robert. On his 135 acre farm he has quite a bit of grass Including a 20 acre field of chewing fescue that is 16 years old, and still going good. The chewings, which included one five-acre field that is comparative ly new, averaged 250 pounds of seed to the acre. His 25 acres of alta fescue went 350 pounds of seea uus year in Its "baby" crop One of the troubles with fMm on the valley floor is keeping rye grass out of. It Rye grass just loves to grow In everything in the valley, the grass, growers tell you. Farm Calendar September 21-23 North Mar lon county fair, Woodburn. f . - . .
