A. Henriksen Is Cattleman
But He Grows Fine Peaches
A. Henrlksen of Cecil is primarily
a c.itllemin He eats, sleeps and
b. eati.es stixk, ar.d the casual ob
server might believe that cattle,
sheep and hogs were the whole thing
down on the Willow creek ranch, but
such is not the case. For we know
that he grows some of the most ex
cellent Early Crawford peaches that
were ever picked from a tree. Mr.
Henriksen presented us w ith a liber
al sample ot this fine truit the past
week, a whole big box of them and
they certainly were delicious. Mr.
Henriksen says he has a fair orchard
on his ranch, but that he has neg
lected it in a most shameful manner.
He has about decided to let the boys
run the cattle, while he turns his at
tention to fruit growing. That In
dustry already has a considerable
start on his ranch. Cecil fruit has a
quality that the Willamette Valley
cannot touch, fruit growers from
Salem themselves have said this.

WHAT PHYSICIANS
SAY OF EFFECTS OF
RIDING IN PLANE
Los Angeles, Sept. 8. From "the
thrill" to "a marked sense of exhil
eration, as though he had partaken
ot good champagne" is the way path
ologists and neurologists have class
ified the sensations received by those
who take their first ride in an air
plane. Armed with stethoscope, sphygmo
manometers and other instruments,
Drs. Mason W .Pressly, E. 0. Good
rich and Reginald F. Grant recently
conducted a series of experiments on j
the effect of airplaning on the hu i
man nervous system, and have just
made public their report.
"Flying will provide the great boon
sought for the treatment of all nerv- j
ous cases such as neurasthenia, and .
even paresis," said Dr. Grant.
The tests were exhaustive and were
made on several patients at a iocal
aviation field.
"We must consider that the aviator
is accustomed to flying while this is
the passenger's first flight," stated
Dr. Grant in opening his report. "He
had to go through the various im
pressions, sensations, mental deduc
tions and anxiety which a first flight
accompanies.
"His anxieties with regard to
height and speed having been re
lieved there supervenes a feeling of
exhilaration 'the thrill.' Later he
may again become a little apprehen
sive of the descent and wonder as to
whether he will experience water
chnte or light sensations. Again,
in this, he is greatly surprised. As
the plane's nose is pointed down,
auditory impressions are diminished,
but there is no sensation of falling.
Near the end of the glide the earth
seems to be coming up rapidly to
meet the airplane and the sensation
of speed is again increased. As the
wheels touch the ground, the vibra
tions increase and then subside."
And then, according to Dr. Grant,
is where the alco-animation comes
in. He says: "When the passenger
steps out he is conscious of a marked
sense of exhilaration, as though he
had partaken of good champagne."
The therapeutic affect of airplan
ing, Dr. Grant summarizes as fol
lows: "Flying increased the total volume
ot blood, increased metabolism the
process of converting food into tissue
increased lung ventilation, in
creased blood pressure and arterial
tone, increased the expansibility of
the heart and increased hemoglobin,
the vital element of the blood which
absorbs anl carries oxygen."

gust, and gave It up. The fact that

train,
i And just now there seem to be a
good many millions of city folk in
, the B class, well-meaning and ap
parently intelligent men and women
of mature years, who proclaim that
; it costs no more to raise food today
than it did in their far-off happy
i hildhood.
A great Eastern merchant lectur
ed his Bible class a few Sundays ago
'that it costs no more to grow fruit
I and vegetables than it did when he
was a boy.
Sa;d this great merchant: "When
! I was young, cantaloupes, for in
i stance, sold for twenty-five cents a
basket. Now they cost $1.75 per
; basket. Why? Because it costs
more to produce them? Certainly
not! Because the price is inflated
artificially."
We know a good many vegetable
and fruit growers who will read this
statement and marvel. Some of
them may get tearing mad and cuss
a bit. They would be astounded to
hear such stuff even from the lips of
Rip Van Winkle, rousing himself
after twenty years of peaceful slum
ber. It costs no more to grow truit and
vegetables than it did fifty or sixty
years ago. Wow,
Fifty or sixty years ago good truck
hnd adjacent to the big cities of the
Eastern States sold for twenty-five
dollars an acre. Such land today
from $500 to 800 an acre. By
what strange process ot reasoning
does the great merchant estimate
that it costs no more to grow things
on $500-an-acre land than it did on
twenty-Sve-dollar-an-acre land?
Manure costs ten times what it
did fifty or sixty years ago; costs
from two to three times what it cost
three years ago. The cost ot com
mercial fertilizer has also scaled sky
high. Fertilizer costs for the truck
er run more than fifty dollars an
acre higher than grandad had to
pay. But, Mr. Grower, you Bhould
not charge for these trifling
extras. Hold the price down to
where grandad did and pocket your
loss. You will thereby win the eter
nal gratitude of the city consumer
who now suspects you are profiteer
ing. And If your interest charge on
your farm investment is twenty-five
dollars an acre whereas in grandad's
case it was one dollar and fifty cents
an acre,, by all meins do not charge j
up the additional 123.50 to nr. uity
Man. Be a philanthropist and hand
it over to him in a nice little bundle
tied with red ribbon. He will then
be able to pay fifteen dollars for a
pair of shoes as against two dollars
and fifty cents a pair paid by his
grandad. The shoe manufacturer
needs the money, whereas the fruit
and vegetable grower does not. We !
read of a shoe manufacturer whose
profits last year topped ten million .
dollars. The "plutocratic" truck
grower skinned through with a !
year's profit of $1200 to $200,!
wherefore it is easy to say that the
trucker is a sinful wretch and should
be curbed in his profiteering.
If you must pay your hired men
from three to five times as much as
grandad did such a wee item should
not be figured in the cost of produc
tion. Take the hint from the great
metropolitan merchants and cut
back your prices to grandad's scale.
Possibly said merchants might sug
gest that you charge off Increased
cost of labor to entertainment or
"sweet diversions of the country."
Of course, they do not do that.
They add on the Increased labor
charge and then some to each article
of merchandise they sell. There
was a time when grandad could buy
a handkerchief approaching the size
of a bed sheet for a dime. Now you
pay fifty cents for a handkerchief
that is shrinking to the dimensions
of a postage stamp.
Blame the high cost of living on
the farmer because he can't talk
back, seems to be the order of the
day for hich ssr.d Ion in the cities.
City fo'.ks refuse to accent facts con
cerning the increased cost of pro
duction save as they upp'.y to manu
facture ar.d sale in the cities. Some
how the truth will cot seep through
the urban skuil cap. Is it because
of the density of substance under
neath or because the grower of food
has not found the right kind of auger
to bore with? It may be that there
is only one thickness of solid ivory
to bore through and that underneath
there Is gray matter capable of re
ceiving an intelligent impression.
But let's apply the pressure with all
'the weight that we can bear down.
Let's shout and holler the facts until
' we're heard and then keep on shout
jing the facts until they are common
jly accvptedon their merits. If we
do not the solid ivory we are up
against will keep on indurating until
it is hopelessly Impenetrable.

Lumber for Permanent
Improvements
Every dollar you put into good lumber is well invested.
Good buildings not only conserve crops, livestock and machinery,
but they add to the equipment and value of the farm. Whether you
want lumber for repairs or building, we offer you the best investment.
In our long experience we have learned to buy the best lumber at
the right prices.
If you contemplate building that barn, machine shed, or best of all,
a home, come in and let us help you in the planning. The advice we are
able to give you may save you a good many dollars in the cost of those
buildings.
Remember, Winter is coming and then it will be too late to do any
- improvement work until Spring, and what you will loose this winter
from improper housing will go a long way toward paying for good
buildings.
We invite you to let us figure your
building program
