Monday, April 21, 1941 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Nine - CLEAN-UP! BUILD - REMODEL - REPAIR - FIX-UP lb i Hardy Says Move Back fo Farm is On "The move back to the farm is on-, and farm sales are up 20 per cent,", says William G. Hardy, local realtor with Hawkins & Roberts. In spite of the fact that thousands of young men are being; called Into the military service and all branch' es of Industry, there are still other thousands who are going "back to the farm" in one way or another. Although Hawkins & Roberts, Inc., has always specialized in farm I loans and farm sales, we are ex periencing a definite step-up in volume, especially in the smaller farms and acreages. "There is a reason. It may be true some are motivated by a de. sire to cash in on higher farm pro duce prices, which seem certain to come. The real reason is the secur ity man feels, In times of uncer tainty, to have his feet planted on a piece of mother earth that he can call his very own. "This feeling of security is well founded. Tried and tested from the beginning of man's history on the earth, It has always been proven to be right. It is right today. "Even the business and profes sional man has the urge to own an acreage In the country. We should be grateful that we live in this wonderful Willamette valley where there are still plenty of country acres to satisfy that urge. "All one need do is drive through the valley and see the fine coun try homes, both built and being built, and one will realize this is truly a valley of rural home own ers, where we develop the widest variety of acreage and farm pro duce, both as business and as a hobby:" Tobacco products factories an nually, use 40 million pounds of su gar In "manufacture of chewing to bacco, cigarettes and cigars, ac cording to the census.

Reimann, Real Estate House Planned for a Corner Lot Is Small But Spacious The simple lines of this Early Am erican adaption mark It as an outstanding exam ple of modern home construction. The ar chitect designed it aa a small home, not a compressed edition of a larger home. Construc tion cost is estimated at from $4800 to $5300, with one-third basement. The interior provides for five ample rooms. The two bedrooms are rather larger than usual. There Is provision for a separate dining room and there Is a large porch. Recommended construction is wood frame, with painted wood siding exterior. Turned endwise, the home would fit In a narrow lot, and It is especially suitable for a corner lot. Plans are approved for use under the Federal Home Building Service. No Is the answer of safety to the or girl who are engaged to each other or to parties with other 'dates'?" But by saying that on special occasions for example, either one of them is distance from the other, then net ther- one should be. expected to spend every evening alone at home. But even so, to go repeatedly alone he with a girl, or she with a man or to seem to be interested In any one other person would be unfair to all three. To go out now and then with one or another group of friends and to avoid showing conspicuous Interest In any one person would be quite all right. Thank-You Notes for Baby Presents Dear Mrs. Post: Is one supposed to write thank-you notes for all presents to a new baby, or may some people be thanked on the tel. ephone or when I see them? With a new baby In the house I'm sure It will be no easy matter to find time to write thank-you notes if It Isn't absolutely necessary. Answer: Most of those who give you presents will bring them when they come to see the Daoy ana youl And you thank them then, But anyone who sends you a pres ent should be thanked as soon as you are able to write notes; or if you have a telephone by your bed, you can thank them this way. Or If you don't feel like talking or writing particularly to those who are not very Intimate friends a member of your family or your nurse (If you have a "special" one and she therefore has time) may properly write notes of thanks for you.

II, away for a long time, or lives at a Helping Visitors on With Their Coats Sear Mrs. Post: I believe it Is considered bad form for a girl to help a man on with his coat. If this Is true, is it also bad form for a girl to help another woman on with her coat? What if the girl Is a maid? Answer: No, It Is all right for one woman to help another woman Even a man who is elderly and per haps rheumatic or otherwise in need of assistance may be helped. But otherwise a woman should not attempt to help him, In fact, I think a man usually Is disconcerted to have her try. A maid who is on duty at the door always holds the coats of ladles and gentlemen both as a matter of course. The BJnr Bearer and His Pillow Dear Mrs. Post: What does the little boy who is ring bearer In my wedding do with the little pil low after the best man has unfas. tened the ring and taken It off? There seems to be no further rea. son for the pillow and I wonder if it Is to be taken away from him, Answer: Up the aisle he carries the pillow so that the top of It is horizontal. At the altar, he still holds the pillow, something the way a woman holds a muff, with his arms down at a relaxed and com fortable position, The point Is, he should hold It with both hands and not stuff it under his arm or hold It by one corner and possibly swing It all of these very likely to be the Impulses of a very small boy.

Jy: climate and length of grow ing season, an assured and sustained supply of moisture throughout the growing season for the growth and maturity of a diversity of crops, In Willamette valley we have sufficient length of growing season to support wide diversification, but without supplemental moisture ap. plied to the crops over that which normally falls from the sky, dlversl flcatlon la limited, for drouth reels- tant crops are not many or widely diversified. Need Long Recognized This need for greater diverslfl cation and for summer Irrigation with the farmers of this valley has been apparent to all thinking people ever since the original native fer tility of the soil was depleted by decades of grain farming. Prob ably the summer moisture supply was greater many decades ago, and also, with a soil rich In humus, its drouth-resisting qualities were much greater. While grain was the ma jor crop, diversification was neither practiced or largely considered, and since grain yields are now no longer profitable, diversification is forced upon the attention of farmers who wish to succeed, and with it the need and use of supplemental mois ture for the summer growing season. In recent years Salem has seen numerous canneries built and plac ed in active operation where the products handled comes largely from irrigated lands. No Irrigated crop has shown better returns to the far mers producing It than green beans marketed through the local can neries. The leading producing sec tion for such bean crops is around West Stayton, between Aumsvllle and Turner. There, production is on a profitable and well established commercial basis. Beans Demand Irrigation Only beans produced under irrl. gatlon are marketable for the par tlcular purposes of the canneries; only those sections having a relia ble water supply for the whole sum mer season may engage with e sured success in their production, The irrigation system which serves the West Stayton area covers sev eral thousand acres of what Is now highly productive lands which are under intensive development and upon which scores of families en gaged in diversified farming now reside. The average yields range from five to eight tons per acre of commercial quality beans and prices range around $60 a ton to the grower. It Is reported that in the summer of 1940 a gross return to the bean growers alone In this irrigated sec- tion of this county approximated $375,000, and that for this current season the bean acreago has in creased by about 39 per cent over any previous yetr. Clover, which provides ample feed for dairy herds, Is also here profit ably raised and fed by the growers. Diversification and success In farm. lng have come to the West Stayton farmers through their irrigation pro ject. U.S. wineries used 1,289,588,774 pounds of grapes to produce 83, 308,724 gallons of wine In 1939, cen sus records reveal. They paid $9, 212,201 for these grapes, or an av erage of seven cents a pound. sP lai II in 1 I 'ft ONLY lilw.5 TRY this wonderful new Maytag Commander for pleasant washdays.
