MVertOn Man Buys
Sixty Carloads of Spuds

Earl Woods, the hustling commission
merchant of this city, turned a deal
Wednesday which is well wort noting.
Mr.. Woods purchased for southern de-
livery sixty carloads of fancy Oregon
Burbank potatoes from Frederick l..
Esola, who is engaged in raising pota-
toes and onions on large scale in the
Lake Labash section of Oregon. The
delivery is to be made partly at Brooks
and partly at Gervais. Mr.. Esola has in
all probability the distinction of hav-
ing produced the greatest one man crop
ever produced in the state of Oregon.
This year the crop of onions in this sec
tion averaged some 300 sacks and po-
tatoes some 200 sacks to the acre, the
quality of each being extra fine. Sew
eral hundred carloads of these products
have been the result this year but next
year the increase in planting will be
much greater when the yield is expected
to run into the thousands of carloads
from this land which is fast being real
lied as the most productive in the state.
Mr.. Esola is new conner from Califor-
MIA and expects to plant 800 acres next
season.
M. L. Jones is another farmer who is
heavily interested and will have several
hundred acres of potatoes next year In
this same soil.-Silverton Appeal.

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
Mind Over Matter.
Translated from the Hindu)

(Translated from the Hindu)
Shushmap Swooshi, the Wise Man OF
Sagfat, one fine day in the month Of
gockle blossoms (May) was saunterin
along the great highway ofstuckhoot
Spaff.
The songs of the little bundhar birds
filled te air and all was peace.
And of sudden, eeasing his reflex
ions on the philosophy of Bonewish
Darrh on the high cost of living, Sush-
map Swooshi saw a great stone medi-
tating in the center of the middle of
the road.
"Yon stnoe is many times too great
for my strength" mused, "and yet by
the earnest application of mind over
matter, mayhap l can roll it a full
yard"
And he Invested himself of his wick
yup, turned up the sleeves of his vim
mers, and starined nightly at the stone,
at the same time bringing all the force
of his fighty intellect to bear on his in
adequate muscles. And 10, at the end
of three hours, perspiring from every
pore and the spaces between, he had
moved the stone one yardl
Shortly afterwards Quagmire, his
wife, spake unto him: "fSkushmap,
wish you would gather me an armful
of wood for our humble fire."
"Thinkst thou that l am a work
horse2" replied the Wise Man of Shag-
fat, and fought deeply on the hyquan-
bricks of the soul and the empty feel
ing in the stomach as he watched Quag-
mire gather the wood.

BIG POTATO CROP.

Hugh Magee was in town from the
Crookenfinger neighborhood on Friday
of last week and in speaking of the
potato crop he said te average yield
in that section will be 100 bushels per
acre. Some of the farmers, he said, will
receive from $50 to 200 bushels per acre.
But Hugh acknowledges having the rep
utation of being the biggest liar in that
part of the country until Harve Hart
mans calf story came out, and it may
be he over-estimated the spud crop just
a little.
1t is known fact, however, that
spuds yield well in the Crookedfinger
valley and almost any story in regard
to spuds is aceeptable.-Silverton APP

ordered them to quit work This official call was ignored
because the said they satisfied and had no

WILL HELP SOLVE FOOD PROBLEM

One of the Capital Journal staff visited the Salem
Kings Products plant day this week. and while there
was presented sample of the carrots and cabbage all
the vegetables that had been handled at the plant up
that time, and the next day he had the pleasure of
sampling them for his dinner Confessing in advance
that ne never cared much for anma food" he still ate
the carrots and found them far as he could tell but
little different from the fresh article Indeed had he not
known they had been processed he would never have
suspected it. The cabbage cooked up in fine shape and
certainly would have proved treat to the boys in the
trenches if they of fresh vegetables 1t would
seem that these products would go long ways toward
solving the food shortage problem so far as furnishing
our allies is concerned for they permit the shipping of
toodstus reduced to their minimum weight but retaining
their full food value The manager states that potatoes
treated by their process WILL when soaked in water
night cook up nearly like the fresh spud that they
be served mashed and the difference cannot be told At
least four-ifths of the weight, should judge is elm
mated and possibly much more, that ship carrying
this kind Of material would do the work of five in
supplying the same quantity of foodstus Here in Ore
gon where there is always fresh vegetables and spare
these products would find poor market but in the east
in Canada and all cold climates they will fill long felt
want and at the time make market at home for
all the vegetables that can be grown in the valley.
