TIw Berry Crisis With crops ripening on their hands, berry-growers face a serious situation. They can meet and fix prices but they can not materialize purchasers. Strawberries that brought 16 cents last year find no buyers at 6 cents this year. This condition is not local but general over the country. The high prices demanded and paid last year put the finished products at such a high figure that the public refused to buy, and canners, loaded up with expensive products which they were unable to sell, became bankrupt. Consequently they are unable to financed new crop, with a large part of the old crop on hand. The jobbers, caught with last year's high priced goods on a falling market, all lost money, and refuse to place advance orders until their old stocks are disposed of. The retailers, in the same predicament, refuse to place orders for futures. Without these futures as security, the canneryman has dif ficulty in financing his operations. The situation is part of the toll paid for deflation and to be expected as part of the reconstruction era. The inactivity of the canners insures a cleaning up of existing stocks, and an active market later for the new goods. Those who process their strawberries and hold, will probably make money as a fruit shortage exists in a large section of the country. By next year, conditions will have adjusted themselves and the normal be restored. Certainly any grower that plows up his berries is onlv inj urine himself. Those growers with long time contracts, which they have lived-up to at a comparative loss to make their word good, have the laugh on those who repudiated their contracts to reap war-time profits. The h'r' 'ices have reacted to the latters injury. An assured at a reasonable proiit is better in the lorfg run for it kes the gamble out of fruit racier and stabilizes the inr1. i The value to the berry indUiLr, of the fruit juice and dyhration plants for quantity consumption, can not be ex aggerated. If the growers had not repudiated their contracts, forced high prices and consequent financial demoralization and suspension of operations, the chances are there would be a market for their- products today. The hope of the berry industry lies in these concerns, and when the grower realizes it and extends his cooperation, situations like the present will be impossible. The public can lend its assistance to the grower as well as protect itself by buying and canning all the berries possible. With cheap berries and cheap sugar, the housewives have their opportunity to fill the cupboard with the choicest of preserves that have been an expensixe luxury beyond their reach the past few seasons. M II I 1 " Harvey, Slacker Ambassador Harvey who as spokesman of the adminis tration declared that the United States would not have "anything whatsoever to do with the League of Nations, or with any commission or committee appointed by it or responsible to it, directly or indirectly, openly or furtive' is not only a slacker in peace but boasts of his descent from war slackers. . . In a speech he made at Charleston, S. C, in 1906 he de clared according to Congressman Stevenson as printed in the Congressional Record: At the outbreak of the Civil war. of my Immediate ancestors llv ,gAwere two -andfathers my own father -3 done hs they did, 1 do not know l ut the rej tt. fraternal heart. Harvey now asserts that the same ignoble motives that actuated his slacker family govern the nation, for he declares that America went into the war for the yellow ancestors staid out, to save their sk.ns, and he declares that the United States, like his stingy uncle who 1.11 ,.athPr than fiirht or pay, is a slacker. WL-1IL W J" 'v.. w - President Harding in his memorial day address voiced the real sentiments of the nation. But did he speak for his ad ministration? If he did, he should recall the ambassador who wears an unearned military title after having boasted that his ancestors were slackers. If Harvey is not recalled, we may know he is more powerful in the administration than the president. ALICIA HAMMERSLEY A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON The Noted Writer Bart's Friend. "Come and see irttle Hal, Hart." urged Bab. "We think be grows nore like his father every day.' "All babies look alike to me." said Hart, trying to be very blase as be gaied Into the cradle where the heir to the house of Hammers ly was blinking and waving his tiny hands. "Isn't he great? 1 didn't know babies were like that," remarked Larry In a surprised tone. They're uot," answered prodly. this baby is a super-Infant. There are no others like htm." "How foolish of me." said I-ar-ry, lifting bis eyes to mine and blushing. "Of course, I should have known it." "Quit your kidding," said Hart, "and shake hands with my sister. Alix. Please remember you don t have to compliment the baby to make an Impression on her She is just a woman even it sue is tne baby's mother. And besides, Larry, all women like your eyes' Kven Bob took pity on I-arry. who was. blushing furiously, "Whoj is kidding now?" she demanded of Bart. "Anyone could say nice! things about this baby." and shej reached down and pulled His Roy-! al Hightiess into her arms. As she stood there looking at k , u i ,1 . 1 1 "Why. she makes a wonderful pic-, ture of a mother." Bart must have had something of this Idea, for he said: "Bab I believe you look more like the child's mother than Alix does, but for all that I was serious with Lar ry. We all call him 'Beauty' at school. I.arry takes the principal girl part In all our musical come dies, and he is some girl. "Forget it, Bart, forget it," pro tested Larry. "That 'Beauty' stuff makes me sore. It fairly nauseates me. I am just about ready to punch the next fellow who asks me to take a girl's part In the college plays." "Cheer up. I.arry." grinned Bart "you are the only man in tna dramatic club who can sing and dance and look the part or A rea lady." Larry dropped the subjectahtre ana waiaea over closer to me oaoy and to the surprise of everyone lit tle Hal held out bis arms to Lar ry. It was the first time my baby had ever done such a thing. With the first self-possession he he had shown since he had come into the room, Larry answered the appeal of those tiny arms and took the baby from Bab and held him up close to his face: then he turn ed to me ingeniously and said: "Why, I never knew babies were like this. So soft and sweet and al together nice." "There, you've done it," said Bart "Alix .will fall down and wor ship you after that. How do you do it? You are holding that baby as though you had been used to babies all your life. I'd be afraid he'd break isvtwo if I picked him up. I have to wait until children are big enough to talk before I can make friends with them. Little babies always screw up their fa ces and yell if I even look at them." "It Is because you are so rough and blustery," said Bab. "Even little babies feel the difference be tween the way you flounder ar ound and the gentle way in which Larry approaches them. I have never seen a man who was as nice as Larry is with that baby," and she gave Larry her most engaging smile. At this moment Larry seemed so conscious of what he was doing that he almost dropped my son. With a cry I hastened forward to catch it and Larry's head and mine came together with a great bump, "Oh, I beg your pardon, I beg your pardon, Mrs. Hammersly." Again I caught that peculiarly sympathetic look in Larry's won derful eyes. I said to myself, "I hope my boy will grow up like this one." "Come along Larry," shouted Bart. "You've mooned over that baby long enough. Bab and I will pick up another girl and we will have a game of tennis before lunch." "What is the matter with Mrs. coming?" suggested Hammersly Larry. "What do you want with an old married woman like her around?" asked Bart, with an impish grin. "She gave up very properly when the baby came." Involuntarily I looked into the mirror before me. Did I appear so old that my brother, who was only a year younger than I, thought I could not play tennis any more? I had been the best tennis player of my set before my marriage. I de termined to show Master Bart that in his ovn language, "He had another guess coming." "At least I'll come out and look on," I answered suavely. "I don't think I will play today, " for I know that I am not in practice, but before your friend goes back, he and I will beat you and anyone that you may choose as a partner Preferably, I would like it to be my twin brother and sister." "You are beginning to sit up and take notice, aren't you?" said Bart with a grin. "That's right You used to be good fun before you married Hal, and If you get just a little of the pep in you that you had then you will be all right.' Tomorrow A Strange Conver sation. Time To Spray Cherry Trees Cherry growers are advised tc be on the lookout for the cherry maggot just at this time of year Prof. A. L. Lovett, entomologist, o; the O. A. C. experiment statloi says that worms in cherries cai be largely prevented by the appli cation of a poison bait for adul flies. The first application shouh be from June 8 to the 11th and the second ten days later. Thi third spray should be a week latei then thelieSond. Prof. Lovett recommends tht following: Calcium arsenate (o, lead arsenate) one half pound brown sugar 2 pounds, or syrui (not honey) two quarts; wate eight gallons. Apply the spray! sparingly. One quart to the tree is enough, while heavier applica- tions are no more efficient and may burn the foliage. A few finei Hniot here and there oyer up per surface of outer foliage is the ideal application. Gooseberry growers are urged to spray, by Prof H. P. Barss, of the Oregon experiment station, 0. A. C. He says the bushes should be sprayed as soon as the fruit is off, if there is any anthracnose, recommending Bordeaux mixture. This spraying will protect the new folliage from infection which might come during June of July. Preservation of the new folliage will give the grower better pros pects of a crop the coming year. Continued defoliage due to diseas, Prof. Barss says, would probabely prevent the setting of very much fruit next spring.

This wholesome, appetising blend of wheat and malted barley builds strong and true, and children love it.
