ASSOCIATION NEEDED.

Fruit growers Of Dallas and vIcin-
ity have called attention to the need
Of a packing or preserving plant to
care for the immense crops which are
yearly growing greater. A fruit
grower declared the other day that.
II he was sure that he could find a
market for the product. he would at
once plant several acres OF loganber-
ries, and others have been heard TO
make similar statements That a
plant of this kind is an urgent neces-
sity is unQuestioned. The ]. X. Arms
by company, which win build a prune
packing plant here during the pres
ent season. have also announced that
the building would be constructed
with the idea Of adding machinery
and equipment for the packing and
preserving OF all kinds Of fruits when
the production shall have increased to
a point where they viii be warranted
in the outlay. Thus, il appears that
the need OF the growers in this regard
viii be met at once.
But II should not be required that
he growers Of strawberries and other
small fruits must depend upon a can
lery for the sale Of their crops. While |
Itrawberries may be plentiful here.

and sale for them slow, there are
plenty of communities where the OPP
posite is true, and they are not more
than 200 miles from the Willamette
valley 1t would seem that the forma-
tion of a selling association by the
growers is the only pathway out of
the difficulty. There must certainly
vines, but individuals are working
against their own interest by trying to
find it. The only manner in which
this may be done, is the same as pur-
sued in other communities where
fruit raising has ebcome an important
industry, and that is by the organiza-
toin of an association, that shall ham
die the entire output of a. large num-
Der of growers. Such an association
comprised of the growers themselves,
would pay the prevailing market price
| for berries, and ship them in carload
lots to the consumer in distant states,
who is willing to pay fancy prices
for select fruit. A fruit growers as
sociation in Puyallup, Washington,
has successfully shipped strawberries
to the New York and Boston markets,
where the fruit has commanded fancy
prices and a lucrative trade has been
built up in that section of the East

method is used at Hood River. Iii
both cases, however, a large buying
and selling association is necessary 20

tions of this association is attributa-
BILE the success that the fruit grow
ers of the localities mentioned have |
attained.
That Dallas is becoming fruit |
center is self-evident. Each year sees
a greater number of fertile acres of
Polk county come into fruit produc-
tion, and the organization of buy
ing and selling association upon mod
ern lines, and operated in the identi-
cal manner with those of the big up
to-date fruit producing communities
in this, and other states, will soon be
an absolute necessity The methods
that prevailed here when the growers
we're few and the fruit production no
greater than could be consumed by {

OBSERVATIONS
(By ]. D. Winn. }

We are of the opinion that the
Chicago convention will be the be.
ginning of the end of political boss
ISM The present presidential cam
paign bears all the ear marks of DO
litical jObbery from start to finish.
1t has proved beyond a reasonable
doubt, that the direct primary is far
in advance of anything ever yet at
tempted in the way of selecting dele
gates. The only contest against di-
rectly elected delegates was in Cali
fornia. very insignificant affair
when compared with those states who
picked their delegates to suit the
picker. Let us not go to the unwar-
ranted extreme of some and say that
our country is going to smash just
because a boss jumps up and threat
ems TO kick everything over in case
he is not recognized as being the
whole thing. But let us on the con-
trary profit by reason of the threat
and put forth every effort to prevent
like occurrence in the future. Lib
erty and enlightenment have been
doing more than merely giving us
mechanical inventions and helpful
contrivances and comforts. They
have given us thought, intelligence,
compulsory education and breadth of
mind. They have loOsened the bonds
of ignorance that have been holding
us for 10, these many years. Our
eyes of understanding have been so
long covered that they now blink in
the dazzling light of truth. We are
brought face to face with great prob |
lens that must be solved sooner or
later. There is a feeling of unrest
throughout the whole world. The
masses cannot be said to be asleep
and needing to be awakened. They
are already awake, as evidenced by
their thorough organization, extend |
ing to every avenue of business. But |
awake. the giant has not |
learned its power. He knows not |
how to rally his forces and use them |
at the polls. We cannot doubt what
men will learn this very soon. When
this is accomplished capital and la
Dor will clash. and the result will he
that the masses will rule.

Entimologist A. l. Lovett, o. A. c.,
I discussing the attacks of the straw
berry-root weevil on beds in the
RECOMMENDATION district
Fields do not generally begin to
show the attacks until the beginning
of the third season, and those planted
in hills not so soon as those in the
mat system. The Magoon and Clark
Seeding are especially prone to at
tack. while the Gibson seems practi-
cally immune. Where fields were wa
tered from tn Hudson Bay ditch they
were usually infested. though often
absolutely free if watered from pri-
Vate wells.
This indicates that the beetles
from infested patches up stream crawl
into the ditch and are washed down
to fields below. AS they can not fiy.
and can only crawl. outside agencies
must be used for transportation any
great distance. They feed and crawl
at night, resting in darkened or shell
tered hooks by day.
since the adult beetles feed on
the foliage. spraying with one Of the
arsenical pOisOns would seem effect

this; the beetles emerge ond COM
mence depositing eggs when the ber-
ries are in fun fruit. and they have a
wide range Of host plants and are not
heavy feeders. so avoid sprayed foIi-
age, either feeding on other crops or

BALTIMORE OVERsHADOWED

Activities at Baltimore, where thu
National Democratic convention will
assemble on Tuesday, June rs, t.
nominate candidates for the presiden
cy and e-presidency, have beer
completely overshadowed by the
struggle at Chicago until the fact
that such a gathering would be held
has been almost forgotten. While the
Democrats are not involved in scrap
of the magnitude of the Republican
mix-up, still their convention will
have its problems to solve. There are
nine active candidates for the nonll-
nation, and one other, who Is not ac-
tive, but who is generally believed to
stand the best chance of success.
That the convention will not be able
to agree upon any of the names which
will be presented to it, appears to be
happen before the actual voting be-
gins In the event that the two
thirds rule shall be enforced, however,
it is certain that nobody has suffi-
cient strength to succeed. This be-
ing true, it is interesting to forecast
what will happen.
The convention will proceed to vote,
and ballot after ballot will be taken
without a decisive result The dele
aates will grow weary with the work
and, at the psychological moment,
one William Jennings Bryan will be
and with that winning smile that
a nation knows so well, he will begin
his speech one, it is safe to say, that
he has been preparing for 10, these
many days. AS he proceeds, he will
become enthused with his subject and
eloquence, such as only the peerless
leader" Is the complete master of,
will fill the convention hall. He will
again give them "crown of thorns"
and "a cross of gold" speech and
the delegates will be carried off their
feet as they were once before. He
will sweep all opposition before him,
and for the fourth time he VIII be- |
come the national standard bearer of |
the Democracy.
Mr.. Bryan is not candidate. Yet
he is the greatest statesman in the |
Democratic party today and is recog-
nized as one of Americas s most prom
inent men. During the present cant
paign he has pursued a course calcu-
lated to cement the friendship of the
following of the Democratic aspirants
for the presidency with the possible
of Harmon, who cuts but
little figure in the fight, anyway. TIe
has kept aloof from all alliances that
would involve him in the personal
fights of the candidates. and he thus
a position which has won
the respect of the rank and file of
Democracy, There is no question but
that the possibility of Mr.. Bryans
will be in the minds of
of the delegates at the
Baltimore convention, and there viii
be but few of them who will object.
IN the event it is found that their
lwn favorite sons cannot win. When
he time comes they will rally to his
standard with an enthusiasm that !
will unite the party and send it forth z
nto the campaign filled with conf i
ience, and presenting thoroughly |
lnited front. q

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

The past week was warmer than
usual, the daily excess OF tempera-
ture ranging from to degrees, and
weather conditions were generally
favorable for rapid progress in farm
ing operations. Heavy rains on April
18th, and frequent showers during
the week did, however, delay field
work to some extent in southern
counties. Light to copious showers
occurred in nearly all parts Of the
state on the I'd, Sd or 4th, and gave
ample moisture for present needs.
The warm rains, and the high tenn
peratures during the last four days
rave caused an unusually rapid
