Self -Service

By LTLLIE L. MADSEK

Something new for Pacific
; Northwest Gardeners, is opening
at Salem Friday when F. N. Doer
fler It Sons starts its new self
service division at the firm's
place . of business at 250 Lan
caster Drive.
Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Doerfler
I have just returned from several
'weeks visit in five : different
J states looking over what is new
fin garden selling lines. The self-
service ideaf; which has become
popular in eastern states in the
I past two years, has just begun in
California, the Doerflers said.
! There are now two such places in
jthe southern state.
Installing the division at the
Doerfler Nurseries on Lancaster,
involve'd the erection of 7-foot
; cyclone fence around a lot 60 by
? 100 feet adjacent to the street.
! Half of this has been covered by
an attractive red lath house
: made from one-by-three inch
' boards. The lath place to the
south of the area is for shade-
1 loving plants while the uncovered
division is for the sun-thriving
plants.
The entire area is filled with
canned" plants which are ar
: ranged so that the customer can
make his- own selection, place
; them on a cart and wheel them
to a central location for purchase.
. All material is labeled as to name
and price. This division will be
,open the entire year, Doerfler

material, in addition to a number
of truckloads, are leaving Salem
this fall for Utah, Idaho and
i California.
Wallace Doerfler is in charge
of the office and sales' division
and Donald, the landscape
service.
t "Our new service is a .matter
- of economy," the elder nfember
of the firm said Thursday in
speaking of the opening set for
Friday morning. All nurserymen
in the area will tell you that our
kind of labor has advanced 400
per cent while shrubbery has ad
vanced only 50 to 100 per cent
In the past 15 years." The new
service will make it possible to
cut down in salesmen employed.
Dairy Group
Pushes Butter
CHICAGO (INS) Americans
'are eating less butter and more
' margarine, and the dairy indus
try has launched a two-million
dollar campaign to change the
situation. : j
The sum is the biggest promo
tion budget ever alloted by the
American Dairy Association. '
' . The consumption of butter has
dwindled steadily. The ADA said
people in 1935 ate an average of
17 pounds of butter per person.
In 1951 the average slipped to
nine and one half pounds, eight
and one half pounds in 1952, and
the outlook for 1953 is eight
pounds and six ounces per per
son. -

Not How' Tall'
But How 'Short'
New Corn Boast
"Out where the tall corn grows"
may someday read "out where the
short corn grows." j
The creation of short corn
half-size plants which, would pro
duce as much, if not more, grain
per stalk than the present tall
corn may result from atomic ra
diation experiments now under
way. .-. .: ,; :
W. Ralph Singleton, a scientist
at the Atomic Energy Commis
sion's Brookhaven Laboratory on
Long Island, N. Y., hopes to pro
duce corn mutations by means of
atomic radiation that will lead to
the creation of short corn. Corn
plants on a 10-acre experimental
farm are exposed to atomic radia
tion from cobalt metal made ra
dioactive . by keeping it in the
Brookhaven atomic pile. I
Singleton hopes the short corn
breeding project will produce
sturdy, stocky, half-sized plants
that will be wind-resistant and
easier to harvest, such as the com
bine types of sorgum now popu
lar in a number of states. !

Benson Asks'
Farmer Help
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson this week called on
farmers themselves lor sugges
tions for an improved govern
ment farm program.
The ; agriculture department
head urged the nation's farmers
to write a "letter giving us your
views.
"We have received thousands
of letters making suggestions and
we want yours, the secretary
said in an article made . public
Tuesday. "After we have had the
opportunity to study all the sug
gestions we can obtain, we will
make recommendations to Con
gress.' ':' .
I fie continued: "It seems pretty
plain that we need to improve
our farm programs. If present
programs were doing the job they
should, we would not face such
serious problems today.
"Your overriding problem at
the moment is, of course, the
cost-price squeeze. Farmers find
that the prices of the things they
have to sell have come down,
while the prices of the things
they must buy come down only
a little, have stayed the same, or
have even gone up.
The cost-price squeeze is
serious warning signal that our
agriculture is out of balance with
its markets that we must
strengthen our farm programs
to restore good balance.
Secretary Benson emphasized,
however, that "We must seek
program that will serve all our
people, consumers as well as
producers," and he added:
"We seek, a program, that will
put 5 food ? Supplies : into stomachs
rather than., buildup excess re
serves intorage. We seek a pro-
tt&SSSS
nd W Applies Of
tooa and fiber for consumers
while helping farmers to achieve
tneir iuu lair snare of the na
tional income."
