An acre or two OF land is all that is

An acre or two OF land is all that is
necessary to insure a comfortable income
after the first year. Down at Santa
Cruz, California, one family sold $500
spite his scientific methods. The in
formation is absolutely trustworthy,
coming from Mr.. NJ. @. Clark, Of Santa
Cruz, who has been visiting his daugh-
ter, Mrs H. B. Nelson, at Weston.
The Logan berry was discovered by
Judge Logan, Of California, and results
from a cross between the Texas rasp-
berry and the California wild blackberry.
1t is remarkably prolific and enormously
large, often attaining length of three
inches. 1t combines the best features
of the blackberry and raspberry, and is
an excellent table fruit.
On lot across the street from the
Nelson residence, Mr.. Clark planted in
March, 1902, rs slips. These have now
grown into 6ne plants and the berries
are just ripening. They look large and
plentiful now, sufficient to excite the ad.
miration Of all who pass, but next year
will be almost double as large and pro
life, this being fhe berry's history in
California. The sight of this thrifty
patch and its beautiful fruit has created
quite an active local demand for plants,
who knows but that the Weston country
will find in Logan berries source -oi
reputation and fortune far SURPRISING
wheat?
On property near her home Mrs. Mel
son intends to set out large number oi
plants next March, which is the most
favorable month for planting. She will
also introduce the Texas Mammoth
blackberry here. The plant slips are
supplied by her father from Santa Cruz.

MUST NOT DELAY
SCHOOL REPORTS MUST BE
SENT In TIME.
Dilatory Counties win Surely Lose
Share in Appropriation to Be
Made at Salem August /.

Notices have been mailed by County
School Superintendent Nowlin to the
clerks of the various school districts in
the county calling their attention to the
fact that July 10 is the latest date on
which their annual reports Of population
can be received at his Office. All dis
tricts whose reports are not received by
that date will forfeit their share in the
annual appropriation, of school funds,
which will be made at Salem August /.
A circular has been issued from the
Office of the state superintendent point
ing out the fact that any county which
fails to have its report in Salem by Aug
ust will lose all its share in the state
appropriation of funds, and urging the
necessity OF promptness on the part OF
county superintendeDts Hitherto the
law. has not been strictly followed, and
as d consequence county reports were
frequently late, causing considerable
trouble to the Salem Office. The action
taken at present win have the effect OF
cutting short all such irregularities in
the future.
1t has been the usual excuse of those
superintendents who were late in for
warding their reports to say that the dis
trict clerks were late with their reports,
and the assertion was perfectly true, for
much laxity prevailed in many Of the
districts. Now it is up to the county
superintendents to take the same action
that the state superintendent has taken,
namely, to announce that all reports not
in by the legal time will not be consid-
cred at all and that the delinquent dis
trict will be debarred from sharing in
the appropriation Of the state fund.
