DAILY CAPITA TJ JOUKNAIi, SALEM, OltKGON. SATURDAY, ArRIL 0, 1010. 5PAGB EIGHT. 9i 1 L f STATE, FLOWERS, ONIONS AND TRUCK The Horse Editor Talks About "Webfoot as She She Used to Was" and "Oregon as She s Going to Be" Incidentally He Indulges in Some Reminiscenses of His Fellow Old Timers, and Realizes That the Old Order of Things Has Passed Away Forever The Era of the.Tenderfoot Has Begun. "While the winter was rathor moro disagreoablo than common, and tho weather such as to precludo tho do ing of much outsldo work, tho pant month has been fine enough to mako up for it, and tho farmers have been taking advantago of ovory minute of it to got tho ground seeded. Tho aroa sown to wheat is rather abovo tho average, and tho indica tions for a big crop aro moro than usually good. Tho freezing weather, was thought to havo damaged the winter wheat some, but this is now found to bo trivial in amount, and is more than offset by tho heavier spring sowing. While less favored countries are Just beginning to roallzo that spring Is at hand, tho favored Willamette valloy already seems on tho vorgi of summer. Tho grass Is luxuriant and has been furnishing flno pastur age for at least six weeks. In fact, it Is now tall onoilgh to bond be neath tho soft breezes from tho Pa cific, and undulating sea of verdure Cherry and poar trees aro already sending thoJr snowy potals down to the green sward la showers of frag rant snow, and tho apple trees are with gontlo touch pushing their pink buds open nnd letting thorn peep out Into a world of warmth and loveli ness. , Tho leaves on tho oaks. aro "as big as squlrrols ears," and field and forost alike has donned its Enstor hat, with multlfloral trimmings, nnd sports, various and sundry, Its un rivalled collection of "glad rags." Tho "daffy-down-dillies" havo al ready gone daffy and are dying, whilo tho gaudy tulip nnd dollcato -waxen hyacinths flaunt tholr gay colors boldly and without rivals, and the lilacs aro beginning to. open up tholr odor-laden llttlo cups and sot a dainty tablo for thoso vagrant troubadours, tho yollow-opaulotod bees, How tho piratical llttlo frco rovors of tho billowing clover seas ravago tho cloisters and pillago the sanctuaries of tho flowers, tho houses of rofugo for all tho dollcato bits of llfo-pollen, animated dust, too dlm.lnutl.vo for human vision! And thon too, tho spinach, tho early turnip and tho pungent mus tard mako tho dinner "groons." Tho stilted plo-plant, pink nnd whlto logged, tart as a school girl nnd Juicy as a ripo poach; tho succulent radlBh and tho fragrant onion, tho greatest ndvortlsor In tho vogotablo world; thoso and many others aro taking tho wrinkles out of Oregon folk's midriffs by a sort of Internal mas sago. "The cacklo of tho hen announces tho birth, bo to sponk, of tho em bryo chicken, and tho "biggest egg" itom is noted as having boon laid on yo country editor's tablo In ovory thrifty Oregon town. Everything Is allvo and kicking, or doing some thing olso. Tho sound of tho car penter's hammer nnd tho call for "moro mort' " aro heard on every hand, and Salem grows by leaps and bounds; for houses spring up in tho night llko mushrooms In a cow pas ture after a warm rain. Thon tho homesookor is here, too, looking over tho level lands of tho valloy and casting critical and ob serving oyes on tho prolific slopes that border It. Ho Is not only look ing at it, but ho is buying it, and lots of It. Not only buying lots of it, but ho Is writing back to Ohio, or Indiana, or Missouri, or whatever tho place was ho put In his time at boforo ho camo to Oregon to live; for his brothers, uncles, grandfath ers and all his wife's folks, to come out at onco to tho original garden of Eden and got in whilo tho gato is open and the grounds uncrowded. It is a great thing for thoso who come, but it Is a greater thing for tho valley, which has boen for years asleep, llko a big anaconda with so much inside of it it couldn't got awake long enough to enjoy it. It is what tho valley needs. It needs new blood, now enterprise, now en orgy. It needs men who havo grown up where thoy had to wrest from a stubborn soli and an unfriendly cll matoall that they acquired. We old-timers have had it too easy. The ripo peaches havo dropped Into our mouths, whon wo had energy enough to got thom open, and, so to speak, our corn has been shelled Jor us. Did wo hustle our potatoes out of tho ground In tho fall and bury thom again throo feet under It to protect thom? Not much! Wo lot thom stay In tho ground until tho spring plowing, whon wo picked thom up, If wo thought wo needed them, thus killing a couple of birds, metaphor ically, at ono pot-shot. Our cabbago crop stood out all winter, onough for us and tho cows. Our pumps did not havo to bo packed away In tho col lar to keop thom from freezing; and tho seldom winter egg did not freeze and crack opon down tho back like a locust boforo Its mothor had time to cacklo. Our grain stood In tho Holds until wo got through fishing nnd hunting and got ready to cut it, or lot tho stock in to do It for us and savo tho work. Wo gathorod our wlntor's firewood whon tho beavers got through cutting It. Wo havo lived from "cacklo to mouth," and whon tho hons laid soft-shelled eggo bocauso wo would not find time, or dovolop tho onergy, or our wives couldn't, to pack a llttlo llmo into tholr neighborhood, we havo patted our climate on tho back and rojolcod over tho fact that wo could got tho egg's contonts without having to broak such awful hard sholls, llko tho loss fortunnto ranchers In Iowa or tho offoto east had to. Wo milk ed our cows when tho calves didn't butt in and do It for us; nnd wo loft our plows, harrows and other farm tools whorovor wo happonod to uso thom last, with the supremo confl donco that nono of our nolghbors. or, for that mattor, nono of tho wholo caboodlo of Orogonlans, wore built on n plan that would permit them to appropriate to tholr own uso anything that required work to ubo It.

Ho sees nt a glanco what we havo been a llfe-tlmo finding out or forget ting (for wo must have known It), and ho is snapping Up bargains and lands and business. Ho is cutting out the underbrush and letting in tho sun; cleaning out tho fence cor nors and trimming up tho long-neglected orchards. Ho Is waging war on bugs and codlin moths; on sloth and indolence; on old methods and antediluvian Ideas; on "wait till to morrow," "take it easy" mossback ism. He is putting corsets and shoes, and glad rags and ribbons on the big, beautiful Willamette valloy; educating her, putting stylo In her wnlk; cleaning her teeth, and mak ing her, Indeed fair to look upon.
