It might be well for the court to hold an insti tute of road makers and use these stretches of thoroughfare to demon strate that it is possible to have fine rxtds in the winter. One is West Main street in Monmouth where J H. Mulkey has with nothing but a shovel and a hand rake transformed a road that was nearly impassableja year ago into a smooth, even road bed. After every interval of wet weather he gets out and rakes the small holes level and smooths down the rough places and the road dries f.ista and is soon in perfect shape The second tract is from Indepen dence north to the railroad track. The man who has charge of this road, whoever he is, is a genius. With a drag he keeps the surface smooth, the center high and the result is that when all other roads are cut up and a constant series of chuck holes, this road is smooth a pavement. If the same pains had been taken with the road from Mon mouth to Independence it would have been a fine thing for all concerned. There were two bills acted on in the last legislature that appear to us to be the exact opposite of one another. These were the market ing and oleo bills. The marketing bill was positive. It represented ' progress in that it would improve and develop the outlet for jcrops, creating'ajdemand for Jmoreand givingbetter encouragement and stimulation to the agricultural (in terests of he 'state. The other, the oleo bill was negative. It pro posed to build up one business by tearing down another and if the idea involved was adopted and ad vocated by every business in the country, our legislature would be the arena for the selfish conflicts of the business of the country. Co operation will never reach its best fruit until it learns to compete with private interests along lines which have the development of new business as a standard feature. The average man of small means has not the vision or the understanding to handle business in a big way. He is suspicious of every one and his cooperation is bound to reflect his own mental standards. Develop ment isaniatter of growth of mind. That cooperation can reach larger things is evidenced by the combina tion of fruit growers in California. They early saw the profit in de veloping a market of their own and have been'so skillful in this that they can not only sell their own products at a higher price than competing products but reach out into neighbor states for their fruit to supply the demand for Califor nia products which they have crea ted. United effort can accomplish a great deal and the tendency of the times is to combine. If this combi nation is wholly selfish it will de feat itself.

BIG DEMAND FOR BERRIES Salem Concern Sees Bright Future for Valley Product For several months we have been conducting an active campaign among growers for the purpose of securing a very large planting in strawberries, raspberries, loganber ries, gooseberries and currants. We pointed out the enormous profits to the producer. The response has been very encouraging. We have booked large orders for tips and plants and our stock is almost ex hausted. . In another month spring will be here and growers should make preparations to get their ground in shapt for planting new acreage. Our jelly, jam and preserve plant is in full operation, but we must have berries of every variety to keep us occupied all the year around. We persistently pointed out to growers the enormous profits to be derived from small fruits, how it would add value to your land and how it was possible to make the Willamette Valley famous as the greatest berry district in the United States. The opportunity not alone to make large profits but to put the Willamette Valley on the map rests entirely with the pro gressive growers. We are doing our full duty to bring this about. We have already spent over $400, 000.00 in advertising your products have invested $1,550,000.00 in this business; have established an exten sive system of selling jellies, jams and preserves throughout the world and now appeal to the growers to furnish the necessary fruit, which is so essential to mutual success. Let us briefly outline the market conditions as they exist today and the acreage which we are willing to contract: s Strawberries We will contract for the 1919 crop at 9J' cents per pound which is equal to $500.00 an acre at the rate of 300 crates of 18 pounds each of the Wilson variety planted on good soil. The "Etter berg No. 121", a new and very hardy variety has yielded as high as 600 crates per acre, but sets of this variety are limited, and while we have some on hand, we are un able to furnish them in large quan tities. This is an ideal strawberry on sandy loam ground and we urge you to get started growing them We will co ntract 1CC0 acres bf strawberries commencing with 1919 or 1920 and running through fie life of the plants. Raspberries-W will contract the yield from 1000 acres of rasp berries of the Cuthbert varie'y for 3 or 5 years. To growers who have raspberries in Uaring w will pay !'J cents per pound which is equal to $300.00 to JtiOO.OO gross per sore. Beats raising hay or grain. Iion't it? Loganberries-When we speak of loganberries, we think of LOJU, America's famous beverage, and I'HKZ, America's famous Pure Juice of the LoganU-rry, then we think of loganberry jellies, jams nd preserves for which there is a constantly increasing demand. We can use the product of 1000 acres for 5 years at prices which will net $150.00 per acre, when planted on the right kind of land. This is one of the Willamette Valley's best ber ries on account of its productive ness and long life. There are sev eral patches 18 years old and still producing bumper crops. We can arrange to furnish you with strong, vigorous plants'at $15.00 per 1000 through growers, if your order is placed at once. Gooseberries and Currants These much neglected but splendid ber ries are again being sought after and growers who have large or small patches should give them careful attention. There will be a good demand for them this year and for years to come. - Let us again impress upon you the importance of the industry. The Oregon Legislature, which just closed, passed an extensive and com prehensive re-construction program to take care of our returning sol diers, sailors, and marines and de velop the industrial and commercial wealth of Oregon and the fruit and berry industry is but another link in the chain of wealth and progress to Oregon. We are doing our part and are presenting opportunities which we feel certain will contrib ute to the well-being and happiness of our people. We will be pleased to have you write us on the subject.
