son made a speech before the
National Farmers Congress at
Durham, N. G.. in which he said:
"The place for the farmer now
is in the South where the soil is
friendly to nearly every product
of the country" Secretrry Will
son hasn't always favored the
South. A few years ago he was
quoted as saying that cotton was
too high. He was raised in the
Northwest and has all along
shown himself to be a partial
friend of that section. As Mr..
Wilson seems to have a life ten
ure on his cabinet job, we are
glad to see that the South has
finally attracted his attention.

According to Conrad Krebs. the
we'll known hop factor, many offers
are being made to secure contracts on
the coming hop crop at l2lc
pound and 1t is unlikely that much
business could be secured under 15c
IL at that figure. According to Mr..
Krebs the Independence sections will
produce not more than 60 per cent OF
last years crop. Salem, Brooks, st.
Paul, Gervais, Butteville, Woodburn
and Aurora 40 per cent and Silverton
district 60 per cent. He says that Ore
gou cannot possibly produce more
than 10000 bales this season. He
gives the maximum for New York
IS. 900 bales, California $4,000 bales
and Washington, $4,000 bales. The
total To- the United States 100. 600 bales
as compared with the short crop OF
last year at 2O5,OOO bales. Brewers
requirements are $4,000 bales annu-

played between Dallas and Salem,
Sunday afternoon, at the local ball
park, was called off at the last
moment, owing to the inability Of the
Dallas manager to get his team
selected for the contest. The failure
Of the game to materialize was a dis

be. No definite arrangements for
other games in future have yet been
made.

Tn addition to the funds secured by

agreed to turn over the license money

the benefit Of the celebration as has
been the custom heretofore. The rev.

will swell the funds considerably above
the $1,000 mark.
The finance committee having made
certain of funds in suff1ciency for the
nroiect. the details of the big event
remain yet to be decided upon and
that part of the work will be launched
tonight at a mass meeting which has
been called by Mayor Il. @. Eakin to

o'clock. At that time COMMITTEES to
have charge Of the various depart
ments OF preparation will be chosen
and definite plans as to the different
features of the celebration will be
discussed.
The Pioneer Association OF Polk
County had fixed the date for it's
annual reunion for July this year,
but since the Fourth falls on Sunday,
those in charge Of the preparations
for the Pioneers Picnic have kindly
consented to change its date to Friday
July Q. This change assures big
two days celebration. combining the
Pioneers Picnic on Friday with the
commemoration Of Independence Day
on Saturday.
Conditions are especially favor
able for a thoroughly successful
celebration. No other place Ia Polh
county will celebrate this yeal
and Salem, the largest city In any oi

has decided to dispense with Fourth
of July celebration In order t.
devote all of its energies to the worl
OF preparation for the Cherry Fair
This fact assures an exceptionally
large attendance.
The success of celebrations Of tn
Fourth in Dallas is proverbial. Tn
hearty response that has been me

the call for cooperation and assistanc
