Barley Raising More 'I'''' es1'
a6 able Than That i n, "
Other Grain


There are greater returns per acre
In raising barley, than can be real
lied from any other grain. with
proper care in the selection of pure
pedigree barley for seed the soil NJ
the Willamette Valley can produce
a choice brewers barley equal to
that raised anywhere in this conn.
try.
The agricultural department OF
the government has given especial
attention during the past two years
toward securing a pure pedigree
barley, one acceptable for brewing
beer.
Barley that Is used for brewing
beer must be such that when made
into malt 1t will germinate after
about the same period of handling.
A crop of barley where part sprouts
In four days, and the balance in six
seven or eight days, would be unfit
for mating and brewing purposes.
CHOICE BREWERS BARLEY
WILL SELL FOR TWENTY CENTS
MORE PER BUSHEL THAN A
POOR OR A MEDIUM GRADE.
The Brewing industry used for
go, 900, 900 bushels of barley during
the past twelve months. The brew
er is anxious TO get the very hest
grade of barley, for It is cheaper In
the end.
To raise choice brewers barley Il
Is absolutely essential to secure pure
seed. The Salem Brewery Assoeia-

at which time they received the
same plowlng as was given the gar
den.
"Please accent these berries, ,'
writes Mrs. Allen, "as sample OF
fruit grown in the Willamette Val
lev under rather unfavorable condi-
tions. They demonstrate the fact
that this valley can produce the
very best fruit, when proper care
and attention is given, and compel
other sections to acknowledge that
the valley is at least equal with
themselves in producing fruit that
is making oregon famous all over
the world"

Oregon Apple Business Is In Its
Infancy.

Oregon Apple Business Is In It's
Infancy.
The Willamette and Hood River
apple raisers have at last buried the
hatchet, so tits said. Well, It was
a harmless sort of battle, anyway,
and its outcome has proved what the
wise ones have known all along,
namely, that the production of q
first-class apple crop in oregon de-
pends upon energy intelllgently ap-
piled, rather than upon location.
The rivalry that has existed between
Hood River and the Willamette
Valley has been of inestimable ben
eft to the orchardlsts OF both dis
tricts, and has placed Oregon In the
very front rank of the apple grow
ing states of the Union. For the
benefit OF this important industry,
even yet in its infancy. let us hope
that this spirit of competition, with
every trace OF malice and bitterness
removed, will be more keen in the
future than Il has been in the past.
Let the rivalry be intense, but let lr
be OF the friendly sort.

The Thomas Kay woolen Mill Co.

This is one OF the largest en-
ploylng corporations In the Capital
City. II has 1875 people on the pay
rolls that amount to about $4,000
per month. The raw material and
supplies purchased amount to about
$4,000 per year, while the output
OF the mills equals about S250,0OO
n year. Fuel wood Is bought by the
thousands OF cords. Besides the
three Pacific coast states, the pro-
ducts of this mill are sold In New
York, Chicago and Boston. Con-
siderable of the heavy woolens are
sold In Alaska. T. b. May Is presl-
dent and manager, and the mill Is
considered one OF the best manag-
ed in the United States. A few
years ago when an effort was made
TO put all the mills on the Pacific
coast under one management, Mr.
Kay was offered the position, ard
his mill Is easily the premier In
quality and reputation OF output on
the western coast. 10 has won tais
place by the genius of Thos. Kay
deceosed, which was largely inherit
ed and improved upon by the son
who succeeded him in business.

A Hood River Man Talks.
Editor Journal Since reading
the statement of Mr.. Hall, of La
Grande, in your issue of the 7th.
am tempted to say amen, and add n
few words Of endorsement TO his
ideas about the relative value of
Eastern oregon and the Willamette
Valley as apple producing regions.
Having lived some years In Hood
River and knowing to considerable
extent what has been accomplished
there. must say that I am proud
of what has been accomplished
there. but am also constrained to
admit that the Willamette Valley can
raise just as good apples and has
many other advantages over that
section.
Hood River has demonstrated
what can be done. It's fruits are
such that the expression 'it equals
Hood River" 10 as great praise as
could be given. There Is no spot
on earth to which the writer's
heart goes out as 1t does to that
richest and most delightful OF lit
tie valleys, hence II cannot be
thought that he speaks lightly when
he says THE WILLAMETTE VAL
LEY CAN RAISE AS GOOD APP
Piles AS HOOD RIVER AND
THEREFORE, AS GOOD APPLES
AS ARE GROWN ON EARTH. We
have the soil, the climate. the cool
nights, and the color-giving sun
shine.
Apples can be found here that
mixed with those of Hood River, or
Southern oregon cannot be told
from the others, and II placed in
competition, would have an equal
show for the first prize.
Conditions here are different
though much improved over those
of a few years ago Fruit pests
had captured the old orchards, but
owing to recent wise legislation the
old orchards, that were but breed |
ing places for pests are destroyed
or cared for. Young orchards are
coming into bearing. Energetic or
chardists look after their trees Just |
as stockmen look after their herds, |
and the result is the apple is again |
becoming famous and a product 60 |
be counted upon. The Willamette
Valley is the natural home of the |
king of all fruits,and the time is not |
far distant when this, the most !
beautiful of large valleys will be de-
voted largely to orchards, a veri-
table garden of fragrant bloom in
the spring, and in autumn a forest
Of dropping boughs with perfect
fruit. The convenience to market,
the soil ready for planting and the
over increasing demand for first
class fruit, make the Willamette
Valley the most promising section
Of the west. for the energetic in
man, who wants a home,
a delightful occupation and easy
money ; and who does not aspire 4

was not hiding. but was keeping ont of the way
of the troops. Davis was at the Hercules mine
for two weeks. He knew that the soldiers were
looking for everybody but did not know that
plncards had been posted calling for his arrest.
From Wallace Davis went to Butte. He again
took the name of Jones He did this to
get job but he had not seen his name black
listed anywhere.

Senator Borah next took the witness to Grip

talked about Governor Steunenberg. but
Orchard did not say at first anything about his
experiences In the Coeur d'Alenes. He spoke
of Governor Peabody man who promised
TO be a second Steunenberg. Orchard seemed
very resentful toward Steunenberg Davis
could not remember the exact language used at
any OF the conversations. When Orchard finally
said that he was going to get Steunenberg,
neither the witness Parker Easterly
made any particular comment the matter.
Davis said that the Cripple Greek strike grew
out Of strike OF smeltermen in Colorado City.
There was no trouble between the mine workers
and mine owners at Cripple Greek to money

At this point in the case an adjournment
was taken until $3.50 O'Clock tomorrow morning.

later heard that the mill at Wardner had
been blown up. He did not know that the men
on the train had done Ii. Davis believed that
there was a strike at Wardner and he
thought that some told him that there
had been trouble at the Bunker Hill and

know whether any one got of not.
