The Cleveland company has In
dlcated that It would be willing to
Install other of Its process plants
In several cities If arrangements
can be made. The success of their
new formula has been marked In
Cleveland and it la the opinion of
growers that If their business can
bo extended here the lognn Juice
will become much more popular
as well as much better known. One
of the things planned for the new
growers organisation is cooperation
with the Ohio firm so that this
new deal wilt not be lost Jn the
state.
WTien the organization of the
Red Hill men is under way, It Is
hoped to organize similar asso
ciations among the growers of oth
er districts In tho valley with the
aim of later securing cooperation
between these.
Reports of the growerR last
night threw a ray of optimism
around the prospects of the crop
this year. Tho berries of the din
trict are said to be or unusually
fine quality, large and unusually
sweet. Indications are that the sea
son crop will go to the canneries
at five cents and that the growers
will again be paying 1 cents for
trie picking.

Cooperation without an Iron
bound cooperative organization Is
the plan of Red Hill loganberry
growers who met In an Informal
sesnlon Rt the Liberty hall Inst
night, discussed problems of the
season, and called a general meet
ing of all growers of the district
for Saturday night at the same
place. Declaring tho need for mi
organisation where growers could
discuss problems without coopera
tive markotlng, the small group of
growers who mot last night laid
plains which they hope wilt be
adopted by other districts In this
section.
Organization of plans to secure
the aid of Willamette valley deal
ers and consumers, methods of ad
vertising and marketing, and co
operation to secure pickers are
aome of the problems for which
the district organisation will seek
solutions. There are some 200 lo
an n growers In the Red Hill dis
trict and plans have been made
to secure the attendance of a large
mnlorltv of these Saturday night.
One of the needs mentioned Inst
night Is that of cooperation with
the Humphroy DIsponsory com
pany of Cleveland, Ohio, who have
started the installation oi aispen-
sary stations In the state but who
have become somewhat discourag
ed by reverses here. Recently a
Ospsnsery of logan Juice of their

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-
vallis, June 18 (Special) The
flics of the cnerry fruit worm are
now emerging and Wllllmuette val
ley growers who have not already
put on the first sweetened poison
bait spray are advised by the ex
periment station to do at once.
The following formula 1a used and
recommended by the station:
Lead arsenate, one-half pound ;
molasses not honey 2 quarts;
water 10 gallons. This Is enough
to deposit small droplets on the
leaves and brunches, where tho fly
will find and sip them.
The files sport about the trees
for 10 days or more before begin
ning to deposit eggs from which
the worms are hatched. This gives
the orcharlst an opportunity to
poison them before they reach the
egg-laying stage. If allowed to
place their eggs about the fruit, the
worms are certain to enter by bor
ing a small round hole through
the skins. These worms or "mag
gots," make the fruit unfit for
sale or use.
Expensive spraying equipment Is
not needed, as the application In
now Way resembles a regular spray
ing. For low trees a knapsack
sprayer Is advisable. From a pint
to a quart of the solution Is
enough for one tree. Two later ap
plications are generally necessary.

and the third one week after the

EXPERT COMES
TO
Through efforts made by the
Salem chamber of commerce, the
Oregon Agricultural college haw
assigned C. 15. Schuster, associate
professor of pomology, to work in
Marion nnI I'olk counties, to learn
Just why the Kttersbuig li'l straw
berry thrives in some sections and
why not In others.
Tho Interest of ihe chamber of
commerce In the Kttersburg 121 Is
due tti the fact that this berry Is
preferred by many canning plants
In Ihe two counties. In fact, with
ciinnlng plants favoring the Ktters
burg 11! I, there Is always an assur
ed market.
Prof. Schuster's Investigations In
dudes methods of soil cultivation
and soli cull m e. Work began early
In April nnl will be continued dur
ing the summer, securing d:ita as
to just why certain soils will pro
duce the Kttersburg 1 1! I nnd why
It will not thrive in other soils.
From the survey work done so
far. Mr. Schuster says that tho Kt
tersburg will thrive best In heavy
clay soil. Next month ho will
classify the soils where this berry
has been grown. This will Include
statistics on hill soil, heavy clay
soil nnd light sandy sol).
Canning plants favor the Ktters
burg 121 strawberry, Mr. Schuster
says, on account of Us many flue
canning qualities. So fur the best
market In the two counties has been
with the canning plants. Houce
tho efforts now being made to In
crease the acreage of this straw
berry nnd to learn Just why it has
not thrived In certain sections of
Marlon and I'olk counties. Also to
learn Just what fertilizers are need
i'd In certain soils m order to make
them ndnptcd to tho Uttersburg
121 berry.

Sidney, June 18 This has been
a wonderful berry year here, so
fnr. Fred Nichols, manager of the
Pettyjohn place, reports marketing
two tons of strawberries from a
little over an nero of ground. He
now has hli pickers busy gather
ing loganberries for n Snlom enn

usually early this year, Mr. Nichols
delivered his first logans to a Sa
lem atoro on tho 10th day of June.
SILYERTON CANNERY
PACKS UPLAND BERRIES
Sitverton, June 1 8 (Special)
The Sllverton Food Products com
pany Is beginning work on the
mountain strawberries after a
short season of the valley berries.
As the moufitnln berries have prov
ed the better for this purpose the
Silverton cannery will put up the
largest supply of these. The can
nery is looking forward to a large
strawberry pack, as all other fruits
are scarce this season. One hun
dred people ars now employed at
the eannTT.
John Ooplerud, the president of
the company, reports that all of
last year's pack has been sold and
very nearly all that the company
will put up this season,
"With loganberry pickers begin
ning to hit their stride, strawber
ries still continuing In fair Quanti
ties, although the peak Is definitely
passed, and cherries looming In the
near future, the 6 canneries In and
near Salem are getting definitely
nto a swing of strenuous activity
that Is expected to continue well
Into the fall, with only an occa
sional layoff.
Strawberries are expected to con
tlnue the remainder of this week
and In a few cases part of next.
The loganberry crop Is much heav
ier than that of lastyear, and li
expected In a large measure to off
set tho cherry shortage. A year
ago the canneries packed consid
erably more cherries than logan
berries, A few cherries have al
ready been nicked here and there.
tho canneries report, and next week
will see the cherry season in full
swing.
The loganberry season will b-
well under way within a week, and
is expected to continue near Its
height for some three weeks.
Berries will probably continue to
be picked longer than that time,
growers state.
The customary small quantities
of red nnd black rasphcrrlos are
being Handled. Most of the work
of the canneries for the next month
however, will be concentrated on
cherries nnd loganberries.
Jn tho fall season the prune short
ngo is not expected seriously to af
fect the canning industry. Only n
small proportion of tho cron Is
ever handled by the canneries, and
they expect to find little difficulty
In securing as many, or nearly as
many, prunes this year ns ever.
rears will bo handled In large
quantities In the fall.
m movements calculated to ef
fect increased capacity at Severn!
of the local plants have been effect
ed during the winter, nnd the total
pack for the 1925 season is ex
pected to be greater than that of
any previous year.

can leadership, had demonstrated
they held the balance of power.
The report was prevalent that al
though he had been desperately 111
he would seek the presidency as an
Independent or as the head of a
new party, but the senator himself
steadfastly declined to disclose his
Intentions.
Bolted Party Iast Year
The republicans In convention at
Cleveland having selected Coolldge
as their standard bearer after re
jecting the platform demands of
the Wisconsin delegation, La Fol-
lette s adherents Issued a call for
a convention In the same auditor
ium several weeks later. Urged by
delegates to this conference that
he accept their endorsement as a
presidential candidate, he sent
word In a message which berated
both the old parties that he would
enter the field as an Independent.
Declaration of his candidacy came
on independence Day with the
democrats In their New York con
vention still balloting for a presi
dential nominee.
His decision Injected him Into
the campaign as a full-fledged
candidate, with Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, a Montana democrat, as
running mate, and President
Coolldge as his republican oppon
ent and John W. Davis, his demo
cratic opposition.
Born on a farm near Madison,
June 14, 1855, 1a Follette was a
contemporary of Cleveland, Har
rison, Mckinley, Roosevelt, Tnft,
Wilson and Hnrdvng, as well as
"Czar" Reed, James O. Blaine and
Mark Hnnna.
Kffeotlve Orator
In stature he was a figure to
attract attention. His build was
short, heavy and exceptionally
strong, with a broad chest, a wide
girth and powerful arms. He wore
a high, heavy pompadour above
deep-set, sharp blue-brown eyes
with overhanging brows; and had
a broad, high forehead, prominent
aquiline nose and mobile mouth.
In public add rear, senator La
I'olletto's delivery was dynamic and
dramatic always, with violent ges
tures and penetrating voice. When
ho warmed to an oratorical effort,
he had a habit of tossing back his
pompadour with a quick, sharp
Jerk of the head and -running his
fingers through his thick locks.
Ills speeches orten lasted for hours
especially during his filibusters In
the senate.
Senator La Follette derived his
nam j from ancestral stock of
French Huguenot refugees. His
Kentucky father, Joslah La Follette
and his mother, Mary (Furgeson)
Ia Follette, were pioneers In Wis
consin, where they went from In
diana. Their children were reared
In tho face of poverty, but all were
ablo to attend tho rural schools.
Robert was admitted to the Unl
vorslty of Wisconsin by special
waiver of entrance charges. He
soon attained prominence In dram
atlo and debating classes, and also
as editor of the college magazine.
fter his graduation, he was call
ed upon to support his mother and
sister white teaching a country
sctuot and studying law. Ho was
admitted to the bar In 1SS0 and
soon entered politics as a candi
date for prosecuting nttorney. Des
pite tho opposition of what he
termed political bosses and ma
chines, he wa selected and subse
quently re-elected. Again over the
opposition of party leaders, he was
nominated and elected to the forty
ninth congress In 188-1. becoming
at 29 years of age the youngest
member of the house.
Fought AM (irnft
Ho was appointed to a place on
the ways and means committee by
Speaker Reed, and worked with
William Mc.Klnley, then a member
of tho same committee. In framing
the McKinley tariff law. His first
spoech In the house was against
"pork barrel" river and harbor ap
propriations, and, by blocking or
amending bills sponsored hy the
leaders, he early classified himself
as an "Insurgent."
Klected governor of Wisconsin
In 1901 on a reform platform, he
launched ft fight against railroad
Influence In state politics, and also
led the movement for the direct
primary law, adopted by the Wis
consin legislature In 1904. He was
elected to the senate the same
year ,and resigned from the gov
ernorship. As a presidential candidate Sena
tor La Follette began an active
campaign for progressive support
in December 1911 but while speak
ing in Philadelphia the following
February he collapsed after a long
address and many of his support
ers turned to Roosevelt. He con
tinued his campaign, but It was a
hopeless enterprise.
During his eariy service In the
senate, he won prominence by re
peated forays against "special priv
liege" and "special interests" in
tariff and other legislation. He
broke with President Taft in 1911
and opposed the administration's
Canadian reciprocity treaty. He
was an early advocate of woman
suffrage, labor legislation and taxa
tion of the wealthy classes. Later
he advocated recall of judges and
Judicial decisions, and came out
In favor of nationalizing the rail
ways. Opposed War
Included in the long list of meas
ures against which he fought stub
bornly were the Aldrlch-Vreeland
currency act, the commerce court
act, and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
measure. He made a speech last
ing four days advocating the un
seating of Senator Lorimer of Hli
nols, and was prominent In the
Balllnger - Pinchot conservation
fight as a critic of President Taft
and a supporter of Mr. Pinchot.
Opposing American intervention
In the World War, Senator La
Follette urged a peace conference
of neutrals. Ho took a leading part
in the spectacular filibuster against
the armed ship bill, asked for by
President Wilson, and encompass
ed Hs defeat early in 1917. He
was among the famous "twelve wil
ful men" named by President Wil
son as obstructionists.
After voting against the Ameri
can war declaration, Senator La
Follette also opposed the selective
draft act, but supported the enorm
ous war appropriations and other
bills. He sponsored many "free
speech" proposals, fought ratifica
tion of the treaty of Versailles, and
In many long speeches after the
war urged amnesty for those con
victed under the espionage act.
During 1917 the senate received
a mass of petitions demanding
Senator La Follette's expulsion,
principally because of a speech at
St. Paul to a non-partisan league
convention. The Minnesota pub
lic safety commission was among
those demanding his unseating,
and the Wisconsin legislature pass
ed resolutions of censure. It was
during this political period that
Mr. La Follette was hung in effigy
and denounced by resolutions of
civic and other organizations
throughout the country. An Inves
tigation of the St. Paul speech,
based on the war and America's
part In It, finally was made bv
the senate privileges and elections
committee. Senator La Follette
submitted copies of the speech and
other evidence, and charged that
he had been misquoted, a charge
admitted by some of the reporters,
and the senate inquiry was drop
ped In February, 1918.
Always a champion of labor, the
La Follette seamen's law designed
to safeguard tho interests of Am
erican seamen, probably Is the
most important measure bearing
his name. Labor formed the nuc
leus of the support to his Inde
pendent candidacy for the presi
dency.
