SALEM, OREGON
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919;
DOUGLAS FRUIT TO
RETUPxfJ $1,200,000
TO GROWERS, CLAIM
Baeiag figures strictly on estimates,
h accurate data is unavailable at this
time, It is believed that the prune crop
tor Oeugias county this year will ap
proslnate in weight about eight million
pound and will net the growers 'nearly
$1,200,000. These figures are based up
on information given by the managers
of te three local packing houses, who
r0 handling the bulk of the prunes for
the county and who have at hand the
figures for nearly all of the prune rais
ing districts.
In and around Boseburg the crop ha
not come up to the estimate. Condi
tions were such that the prospective,
extraordinarily large yield" did not ma
terialize and instead the grower realized
only a small percentage on a normal
crop. . In some instances the orchards
yielded as low as 125 per cent of a normal
crop, but the average is believed to be
Bearer 50 per cent. Ii the southern
port of the county, however, orchards
producod even better than wns first es
timated and the damage by rain was not
M great so that the growers wanagod
to save as high as 75 and 80 per cent,
making the average crop for the county
between 60 and 65 per cent of a normal
yield. The normal yield is estimated at
tightly above 12,000,000 pounds, which
bezt fear will be, increased to nearly
15,000,000 pounds, with the introduction
of the new acreage now coming into
bearing.
'! Of the prunes raised 75 per cent were
Italians. Both the Petitcs and Italians
show up well in quality this year but
the bulk of the growers appear to favor
the Italian prune which, is now flooding
the packing plants in this city. The
average price paid for both varieties Is
about the same being between 14 and 15
cents, growers in some cases realize as
high as 20 conts.
-. The bulk of the Douglas county crop
will go to eastern and foreign markets.

their pack to a large concern supplying
both local and European markets. The
Drager company is shipping a lr.rge
number of oars direct to Cliristinia and

company, which has just erected a new
plant hero is dealing direct with the
eastern wholesalers, who in turn are
soiling to foreign buyers, Rqseburg

SALEM REQUESTED
TO SUPPORT LOCAL
BOY SCOUT DRIVE
In connection with the . campaign of
the Boy Scouts to raise its member
ship in Salem from 125 tu 450 dining
the winter, Scout Executive Harold L.
Cook, Saturday, issued the following
statement:
To the' people: In these days when
every organization of merit is receiving
the best support of the people, it
eomes to mind that the organiation that
probably did more to win the war than
any organization this side of the At
lantic, excepting the Kcd Cross, and
whose work is still going on - in the
quiet skillful manner in which it has
always been presented, is receiving less
attention and support from the people
as a whole than it possibly deserves, it
is well understood by those connected
with the Boy Scouts of America that
in most eases this is true because of
the lack of education of the peoplo as
to the principles and purposes of the
movemnt. -
The Boy Scouts of America repre
sent a nationwide movement for the
betterment of the American boy. Edu
catidnal in its spirit and purpose, this
movement aims to develop self-roliance,
initiative resourcefulness and the
spirit of service in the growing boy.
The Scout movement appreciates and
understands the sentiments and inter
ests which belong to the boy. These in
terests are met and satisfied by a piu
gram of activities so varied and so
broad that the' true Scout is always
moving forward, becoming keener in
his capacity for observation and education-
and growing stronger ns desir
able habits are woven permanently in
to his character. ' ' ,
Scouting is learning by doingi It pro
vides a boy with happy and healthy
outlet for his superabundant energies.
It. supplios worth-while activities for
nis out of school hours. It furnishes
suitable leadership u'nlder which are
developed the boy's latent powers, cap
acities and tastes. It makes use of uni
versal elemental boy instincts, gang
loyalty, hero worship, pride of phy
sical prowess love bf adventure and the
great outdoor Tlieaetivrties of scout
ing are almost beyond counting. Yet
there is no confusion in their arrange
ment and presentation. Ea ch has a
purpose, clear and definite With its
peculiar appeal to- tho boy's mind.
The spirit of Scouting i the spirit of
fair-play, cheerfulness, good comrade
ship, loyalty. Above all it is the spirit
of sorvice. Such service means not only
the will to serve,- to forget yourself, if
need be, in . another 's need, it means
alBO the trained mind, quick and clear
in action and the trained body ready to
respond at the instant challenge of
the commanding brain.
Scouting is not a dream of the pre
sent that will happilv pass and have
an ending. Scouting is composed of boy
hood in the sorvice'of humanity thru
boyhood and just as long as boyhood
is with us so will Scouting be always
with us. It is high time that tho peo
plo of Salem realize that the struggling
organization within their midst, trying
to gain a footing for greater service
to the community through the future
citizenry of Salein, is worthy of the
finest support that we can offer that
no greator or finer service can be ren
dered by any man than to mould, direct
and inspire impressionable youth to
manhood, ''physicaly strong, mentally
awake and morally straight.!'
is entirely eliminated from the dosage
card and the reclaimed addict 's physical
and mental strength restored by tonics
and nourishing food. - -.
Many of tho addicts have becojm
slaves to the drug because of relief o
tained by it during illness or serious In
jury. Others, are prosperous appearing
actors, lawyers or other, professional
men who, perhaps, believed th'ey must
dull their ever-active nervous or men
tal energy to properly pursue their life
work. Still others arc soldiers who have
suffered shell shock or who were con
stantly under tho influence of drugs in
some European hospital after passing
mrougn tne anierno of the- battlefields.

"The man of industry and capita

Mr. Hofcr said that Charles K. Spanld

houses here this month." -
"We can't impress on the city -too
much the gravity of the situation. I

decls-red that he was in favor of the

said that tho housing problem here, could

T. E. McCroskcy, manager of tho Com

that he supported the plan of John Mc

status in tho city, "and -point out to

A. J. Bohrnstedt, of tho Building &

what his firm was doing toward the solu

He said that here was no limit that his
firm would establish in loans- for dwell-

who would continue in the old, anti
