LARAWAY RELIABLE JEWELER I .Accompanied by a violent electrical storm, rain in cloud burst proportions struck the brakes of the Columbia be tween here and Cascade Locks about 4 a. m. Thursday, according: to Traffic Officer Murray, patrolling the highway at the early hour to check up trucks and motor buses. He ssvs the clouds seemed to open and deluge the earth by the bucketsful for a minute. At points. Mr. Murray declares the hard surfacing was covered with a foot of water, ditches being, inadequate to carry the flood. "The lightning dis play was brilliant," says the traffic officer, "and the huge drops falling in the illumination looked like a shower of diamonds." :' The thunder storm touched . the southwest part of the valley, and local folk were awakened at daybreak by its cannonading. A general rain struck the orchard sections, interrupting ap ple picking for the day. SWOPE DEVELOPS BEAUTIFUL DAHLIA J. W. Swope, ! who makes a hobby of his flower gardens, has developed a new variety of dahlia this season, se curing a sport from what is technically Known as a bud variation, s Mr. Swope has secured a plant that is loaded with huge blooms of a deep cerise that shades to a pure white in the center. Fanciers who have seen the new plant declare it - one of . the handsomest dahlia" they have ever seen. Because the local climate is en ad mirably adapted to dahlias, Mr. Swope plans next year on increasing his var ieties to more than 100. He has a great assortment this year, but his varieties next season, it is said, will be the largest in the mid-Columbia. PADDOCK ORCHARD ; PRODUCTION HEAVY Orchardists who have viewed the nine-acre tract of C. C.

RUGGLES 1IW Prospect Ave., near 12th St. (Lntrmnc lo oil My Strrrt) Hood River, Oregon (By A. D. Moe) Amonnr the manv pleasant and beau tiful sections in Oregon is the Upmqua Vallev. of which Rosebuie is the me tropolis. In attending the meeting of the Grand Commandery at that place we were royally entertained, ana the next day were guests of R. H. C. Wood, formerly manager of the tele phone exchange here, but who was transferred to Roseburg about 15 years ago. A couple of years later he was sent to The Dalles, but was so well pleased with Roseburg that he re signed the telepnone joo aim reiurneu there 12 years ago to enter business. Two years ago he bought an 80-acre ranch on the banks of the Umpqua, 10 miles from Roseburg, in the section known as Garden Valley. He has 50 acres in bearing orchard, and this year is packing about 8,000 boxes, mostly Spitzenburgs and Newtowns. The or chard is in prime condition and he is well pleased with the prospects. In fact, he has disposed of, bis business and will move out to the ranch next i Mr. Wood has naa consnaeiaoie ex perience in the fruit business, having been manager for several years of a fruit association at Roseburg. Roseburir urobably grows a greater variety of crops commercially than any other section of Oregon. This year that section harvested 15,000,000 pounds of prunes. The apple crop will amount to about 210 cars, while walnuts and filberts are a good paying crop, and we look to Roseburg for our supply of tur keys for the holiday trade. A new industry that is attracting a Hnl nf attention is the crowing of a late winter variety of, cauliflower, called broccoli. Roseburg is the. far thest north that broccoli an be suc cessfully grown, and comes to market after the California product is gone. It takes an entire year to grow and mature the crop. The seed is planted in April, then transplanted a month later, the plants being placed about three feet apart. No irrigation is necessary, and no pests , have to be fought. After cultivation during the summer months it attains its growth by the beginning of winter. It then lies partially dormant, until about February, when it starts to head, and is fully matured and harvested about March 1. It is packed in crates and sent to eastern markets in refrigerator cars, finding a ready sale at an aver age return ot i.ou per crate, i. o. o. Roseburg. The crop win average bdoui 300 crates per acre, the net profit is $100 to $150 per acre. There are about 100 acres planted to this vegetable near Roseburg and about 300 acres in the county. It is estimated that there will be 200 cars shipped next year. The distribution is being made very widely to create a market, being shipped to many different sections of the east, and it is expected that this crop will be one of the important of the many varied industries of Roseburg. Garden Valley, now well developed with fine farms, with a wide diversity of crops, not many years ago was prac tically waste land, or used as a range for stock. Land was worth but $10 an acre. The building of. the Pacific High way has done much to develop that section, and a system of paved market roads is now under way. The Roseburg Valley has a rainfall similar to ours, with an elevation of around 500 feet. The climate is very good, without extreme heat in summer and seldom snowing in winter. Dufur May Irrigate According to Dufur orchardists who have been heie Ifor harvest supplies the past week, a large irrigation proj ect may revolutionize growing apples on the Dufur Orchard Company's large tracts in southern Wasco county. For the past two weeks, it was stated, a crew of engineers has been surveying the Bite for a prospective reservoir for use in watering the big orchard. Come jn and see the new Buick 1023 models.

Brown A few potato growers in the Upper Valley made a start this year in grow ing certified seed. Only one grower passed the preliminary held inspection, Naturally some of those whose fields failed to pass inspection feel somewhat disappointed and are inclined to think the growing of certified seed an impos sible or impractical proposition. As a matter of fact statistics recent ly compiled by the Extension Depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, show that there is a rapidly growing interest in this state in seed seed certification. This year 16 coun ties are represented in this work. Umatilla and Deschutes have the larg est acreage. In the Weston mountain district of Umatilla county, every grower entered his fields for certifica tion, and practically all of them passed the first field inspection, and in Uma tilla county as a whole, 55a acres passed, while, 315 acres were rejected, in Deschutes county, 230 acres passed the first inspection, while only 210 acres were rejected. This information has just been taken from the Exten sion Service News. The most helpful feature of the situ ation lies in the fact that during ear lier years or certification effort, it was common for the greater acreage to be rejected. The writer submits that it is well worth while for Hood River to con tinue its efforts to grow potatoes which will command a premium, in fact it will scarcely pay to do otherwise. The standard in perfection in potato grow ing in Oregon is rapidly being raised and only those who produce the best will command a premium. This year there is a pronounced surplus in this state. Despite this fact certified seed will probably sell for double that ob tained for ordinary stock. When Prof. G. R. Hyslop, of the Extension De partment, was here a short time ago to make inspections, he pointed out that ideal conditions for potato grow ing obtained in the Upper Valley, and urged the growers to make further efforts in seed certification. Statistics compiled show 2,912 acres entered for certification this year with l.zbd having passed the first field in spection. Handsome Home Completed The Baldwin & Swope Construction Co. has just completed construction of a large new home for George Briggs at Arlington. The new place, which cost an approximate $20,000, is declared the finest home erected in eastern Oregon this summer.
