SUNDAY, MAY 2S, 1923 WORLD BtSlXKSS IS BETTER There can no longer be any doubt that In Oregon the bottom of the post war depression has been reached and that business is definitely climbing the hill on the other side. Tha lumber In dustry, which Is the largest slnsle in dustrial resource of Oregon, has shown remarkable Improvement within the past few months, the West Coast as sociation for the current week report ing activity that Is fire per cent above normal. This is to be contrasted wltb an output only a little better than SO per cent of normal a few months ago. A fair fruit crop is apparently assured and everything points to fair prices. These two developments alone are enough to assure a very good business year In Western Oregon. All over the country there is posi tive evidence of business improvement. In the East the basic steel industry has increased its capacity heavily within recent weeks, and orders for future delivery are being placed rather heavily. The automobile industry has come out of a marked' period of de pression and is enjoying a run of busi that amounts to a small boom. Every where there 1 evidence" that the aver- prou"ctIbhaYnmrT!6w the war has been' largely absorbed and that business is about ready to start anew. Money is to be had at reason able rates and commodity prices are stabilizing. The gap between what the farmer gets and what he has to pay is still too wide, but it is narrowing. The reduction in roll rates that has been ordered will aid materially in this di rection, for high freights have been a factor in the undue spread between the price the farmer gets and the price he has to pay. Nor is Improvement in business con ditions confined to the United States. Conditions in Europe are stabilizing. Differences in exchange, which have been an effective bar to American ex port business, are ad Justin 5 them selces. The currencies of most Eu ropean countries are still badly de preciated and It is extremely doubtful If Borne of them will ever be restored to the 'pre-war figure, but -violent fluctuations up and down are ceasing. So far as international business is con cerned, it makes little difference what the value of European currencies in terms of American dollars really is; the thing that fs important Is to get a stable basis of exchange so that when Europeans buy goods in America they will know what their money will be worth when they get the goods. Once that Is accomplished, business can go forward again, regardless of the actual rate of exchange. The difference will be simply discounted in advance. The greatest unsettling factor in European business is the German reparations question; once that Is definitely set tled business commitments can be made with reasnoable assurance. It Is really surprising how closely business has followed the same curve during and after the war. Every great war of history, ho been accom panied by high business pressure that lasted, with a slight interruption, for some time after the end of the war. Then has come a comparatively brief period of acute depression while busi ness adjusted itself to new conditions and recovered from war inflation. This period of post-war depression has been followed in every instance by & long era of good times. Those old enough to remember the period fol lowing tho Civil War will recall that this is exactly what hupponod then. The United States and to a fairly comparablo extent the entire world, has passed ul ready through two of these stages the wild boom accom panying and Immediately following j war, and tho acute depression that fol lows the war boom. There are re Ilablo signs that this country and to a lesser extent the rest of the world are recovering from the post-war depres- Ion and are entevhajr upon tho new era ot ong-auin!ind bualnww activity that In tho past h;t XHowert great ware after the riHtttlustaiirittn iioccNd tatod by war conUtsm haw boon ac complished, COXtTSlOX OF LORDS The house of lords, (UTter all, is not to become tho houfef of Indie. At least, not yet. Lady Khcndda, lit hear test cose, has finally 'boon refused a seat by tho committee on privilege., j Thla is contusing'.' The same com mittee voted in ravor'oT Lady Khoud d&'s petition eorllor in (he year. Hut after that tho case struck several snngs. The lord chancellor and the attorney general objected, and the house of lords referred tho matter back to the committee, and the com mitten obediently njwrsed Itself, ; 01 these curious ground: Tho hwue turned uihmi the Interpre tation of tho "sex riLtquatlfication re moval act." which jyovldea that no person shall be disqualified by sex or marrlago from the iixerctse of any public function. Lady Rhondda con tended, naturally onofigh one would think, that this law entitled her to exercise the function of silting In the British upper house. Hut the com mittee accepted a ruling ot the at torney general who snya: "Is a peer age a public function? I say no. It is a contusion ot khougtht and language to say thnt the holdlnf of the dignity of a peerage is a public function," Maybe so. The hoftso of lords doesn't seem to exercise much tn tho nay of public function nowadays. since the commons took away its right of veto. But something bolls us that Lady Rhondda and tho 20 other peer esses claiming a right to stt and tulk in that more or less legislative body will havemorc to say about the mat ter. 1 " i.. 1 CONSIDER Til K BE: . u C. E. Stewart, Lane cosnty fruit In spector, asserts that the upper Wil lamette valley will fall short ot a bumper fruit crop this year chiefly because of la ok of honey bees. It is an Interesting statement, and slnco Mr. Stewart is a competent authority there ought to be serious thought as to what is going to be done about it. As everyone knows who drove through the fruit districts in the blos som season, there was an enormous crop of bloom this spring. The cherry orchards were one mass of white pet als and the prune trees were loaded almost as heavily. But a bumper crop of bloom does not necessarily mean a bumper fruit crop. Before the blos soms can be transformed Into fruit they must be potlenised. Nature, as In all her processes, has made careful preparations for pollen lzlng the blossoms. .There, is a vast sur plus of pollen, so most of It may blow away and yet enough reach the pistils of the fruit blossoms to Insuro a crop. But U Is not always the case that the blossom season is accompanied by per fect weather. When the sun shines brightly and gentle winds blow, con ditions are perfect for pollenization but tho sun does not always shine In blossom time. Too often rains prevent the tree drift of the pollen. So Nature brings the bee to her assistance. With his hairy legs laden with pollen, he flies from flower to flower, fertilizing those he touches even though the air is heavy and damp. In all established fruit regions, the bee is regarded as an essential ltf m Bee -keeping is an important Industry in California, both on account of 4ho honey and on account of the aid given in pollenization. It la the same In the apple districts of Washington. There the bee Is regarded as so important that spraying programs are so ar ranged as to result in the smallest possible mortality. t; e The time Is rapidly pea ring, if it Is not already here, when?frult will be the most important crop In the Wil lamette valley. There are two dangers that menace" the fruit crop. One is frost and the other fs rnlnjf weather at pollenization time. Both, are beyond the control of the grower But the bee fsan aid to better pollenization, andlt Is within he power of the fruit grower to provide the bees. ' Bee-keeping ought to get a great deal more atten tion than has been given to It In the paHt. It may not be profitable, from the standpoint alone of the honey sold, but if It results In better pollenization and therefore in larger fruit crops It will pay even if no honey 1m sold at all. tlri;v(iuw?iu vull, , thorn , aimw berries. In eating thorn, 0110 takes four Or Ttw on a apooit, along with the rtHiuinite Himntm of cream and sugar and calls It a bite. And If 'he has never been in Oregon ho prutttoa It highly as a dchvtuhlo detail of the Mprlttit diet. How different Is the Oregon berry In its perfection! A doxcu or o of thorn fill a bowl, and with tho spoon one cleaves them Into portions suitable for polite consumption, llulf h doicn on the spoon, as In tho Enst? Shucks! One would need a shovel to hold half a doson Oregon strawberries. There are connoisseurs who maintain stoutly that tho only right way to eat an Ore gon strawberry Is to take It In both hands, bury the fce In It to the ears and proofed thereafter according to the standard rules for consuming watermelon In tho slice. There is dinned unceasingty Into our oars the statement that Oregon needs mo ie people. It wo could snare a few hundred Ka-uemor hi tho districts whore strawberries are considered edible when they reach the sire of n buckshot, bring them out to Oregon and give them a bowl of real Oregon berries and Oregon cream and then turn thorn loose to tell the tale we should soon be having to erect high fences around tho border to prevent over-crowding. rcoplo tulk reduction of govern ment payrolls and elimination of ex travagance, but every time a govern ment employe loses his Job a mighty howl goes up.

THE OREGON STRAWBERRY There are seasons and seasons, jrnd in Oregon they are mostly delightful, Thero Is blossom time, for example, The orchards are masses of pink and whlto and the air is heavy with frag rance. A drive through tho orchard districts Is a rare, privilege. Thon there Is tho vacation season. Good roads, clear streams, white mountains, deep forests, the sounding sea what more could anyono want?, And there Is the autumn, with Its abundant har vests, its masses of golden flowers and Its foggy mornings followed by golden days. But is thero any season that can excel that when homo grown Oregon strawberries come on the market? The strawberry, with its traditional accom paniment of cream, is a national In stitution, but the Oregon strawberry In an institution all by Itself.
