RHUBARB PLANTS NEED FREEZING FOn FORCING Rhubarb plants for winter forcing should be dua- and left outside a few nights to frees as the roots for Wig forced make a better stalk if frozen. suggests A. G. Bouquet, bead of vege table gardening at u. a. j. x eaning roots are good If they have made a big growth he first season, or older stock can be dug up and used. Any dark cellar, outhouse, casement 01 hed can be used as a forcing house. The roots after being dug up and frozen are brought into the shed and laid close together on the floor on which has been spread a thin layer of dirt They are tfien covered wtih 1H pi 2 inches of dirt, Bprinkled thor oughly, and left alone except f or oc casional waterings. The teriuierature in the hottae should be kept between 46 and 60 degrees F. for four weeks, at the end of which time the plants may be bearing stalks of a market able sis 10 to 14 inches long. This forced "barb" is of wonderful quality, handsome in appearance, and sells at a good price. It makes de licious sauce and pies. The leaf sur face of the stalk is very greatly re duced because of the absence of light. RMRRT CONFERENCE WAJ GREAT SUCCESS Nearly 500 berry growers met last week in their first annual conference at Salem in tne oiiicea ox we uregon Growers' Co-operative Association. Attention was divided between con sideration of loganberries, strawber-j ries, gooseoerries, currants, raspoer fies and blackberries, all phases of production and marketing receiving consideration during the three day, session. The loganberry still holds the at tention of the major portion of thel berry men 01 tne Willamette valley. This was clearly indicated in the re cord attendance on Loganberry day. Large numbers of growers were pres ent at the other meetincrs of the ses sion, however, and interest in other small fruit seems to be on the in crease. Manager Frank B. Bill, of the 6c baatoool (California) Berry Growers' Association showed the growers what eo-oneration has done for the berry growers of his section. One of the principal benefits, he stated, was that ue association provided an outlet in hipping loeans and blackberries fresh to markets in the middle west. In this the California growers have been very successful. J. L. Stahl, horticulturist of the western Washington experiment sta tion said, in describing the berry In dustry of the Puyallup valley that the evergreen blackberry had made raorc money for the Puyallup berry grow-' ers than any other fruit. So successful was the conference and so enthusiastic were the large numbers of growers that attended that it is assured that the conference 01 oenny men wm ne maae an annual affair.

ExperioMinJ Statin, j Efforts ts Cet Pifcty Tai to Match Portland Meets Opposition and Gasoline tax Bans on Rocks. Earl . Fisher, Beaverton resident and member of the Washington Coun ty delegation in the State Legislature, returned Saturday from Salem where1 he spent the week with other legisla tor in special session, trying to get through some legislation that would finance Oregon's 1925 Exposition. Mr. Fisher says the House soon or ganised and got down to business and1 the fair legislation was well managed : and put through in good shape, d- spite considerable opposition that was organised at the opening of the1 session. .However, in the Senate, the fair legislation was deadlocked and final ly was passed by an actual majority but not by a .constitutional majority, the vote standing 15 to 14 for the passage of the .ra saline tax bill. Pres ident Roy Jlitner refused to sJzn the bill. Speaker Bean of the house followed his example and the Gov. ernor and Secretary of State, acting advice from the Attorney General, refused to sign the bills or to file them in the office of the Secretary of State. No announcement has yet made as to what the proponents of the fair expect to do, but it is probable that an effort will be made to frame desirable legislation that will the approval of all sections of the State and submit it to the people njt So far as financing the fair Is con cerned, the legislature might just as well stayed at home and attended to their usual duties. PRICE ADVANCE EXPECTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE The California Prune and Apricot Growers' association has advanced the price on its 1921 holdings of prunes of a cent a pound over its opening lances according to auwienuc iniorma tion received fay the Oregon Growers!

Thehusband is to pay $26 per month for the coming January, February and March; (17.50 for April, and $20 per month thereafter, pending a fur ther order of the court. Ethel Heckman, Orenco, sued A. G.

She alleges that he has not contributed to the support of wife or child, and asks for $25 per month for the care of the latter. She also wants $100 suit money to prosecute.

At the saeeting of tat Dairymen's Lattfit aesd la Portland Tawaday to count the ballets and detarmiae waal actios tahe League would take rela tive to the future of that organisa tion, the balloting resulted in favor of liquidation and the organisation will disband. Of the further action that was taken, Wednesday's Oregonian says: However, on the ruins of the old organisation a new one for the mar keting of dairy products will rise which will carry forward the pro gramme laid down by the old league, on a new and more businesslike basis. This was Indicated when 200 dairymen from various sections of the state who had gathered at Lib rary nail to learn the results of tne election took immediate steps for the formation oj a new organization. The vote to disband the league was 0 for and 291 airaihst. This Was a good majority over the two-thirds vote required to disband. F. A. Baker, a. A. Sales and 1. Con- dron were chosen trustees to take chartre of liquidation. These three immediately will wind up the league's business. The plan for the new organization was the result of a resolution intro duced by George A. Mansfield, presi dent of the Oregon State Farm Bu reau federation, who was present at, the gathering. The resolution pro-; vided for a committee composed of three members from each of the three districts' in which the (league has been operating be named to work put , tne plan. The resolution provided that C. L. Hawley, Oregon state dairy and food commissioner and a member of the national farm bureau's committee, be appointed to -function in an advis- sorv capacity, and that Dr. Hector McPherson, of the agricultural col-l lege; Marshal N. Dana and represen tatives of the farm bureau and bank ing interests meet with this commit tee. Mr. Mansfield was chosen to rep resent the farm bureau and George C. Jewett of the local co-operative wheat growers' organisation and for merly connected with the federal farm loan system to represent the banking interests. The gathering chose P. KSitton of Amity, J. 8- Albel, of Bonng and ThemaJ Roe, of Gaston, as repre sentatives from zone 1 of the league, comprising Portland and the sur rounding territory, and H. Gustaf son. of North Bend. William Black- more, of North Bend and William Goshen, of Marshfield, to represent zone 2, comprising the Coos-Curry district on the committee or reor ganisation. Inasmuch. as there were only mem bers of the board of directors from the Clatsop district present at the gathering, it was decided to send an invitation to the dairymen in that section 01 the state to appoint a com mittee of three to meet with the rep resentatives of the other districts for working out the organisation plan. A meeting of the new committee was held immediately and a tempo rary organization made, consisting of P. K. Sittoo, chairman, and William Blackmore, secretary. It was decided to hold another meeting of the committee at the of fice of C. L, Hawley in the Worces-j ter building on January 17, when it was hoped to make more progress Ip the formation of the new organiza tion. Mrs. A. M. Lotz and daughter, Miss Gertrude, mother and sister of Mrs. B. W. Woodruff, spent Christ mas with the Woodruff family.
