'PAUL'S" MESSAGE:

You people in this community. who are
starters, do not need to make the same
mistakes we did in Puyallup Valley You
can take advantage Of our mistakes and
steer clear of them.
What are you going to do with five
acres II you buy it? Are you going to
raise chickens? If you are, can you sell
the eggsi Are you going to raise fruit?
II SO. what kind Of fruit? Where can you
sell it? What price can you get? These
are all things that people who consider
opening up an enterprise Of this kind
must consider.
am not going to tell you what you
should do here, but what we have done
in the Puyallup Valley. and if II fits the
case here it may be of some value to you.
/ don't want you to think that know it
all. don't get away from home very
much.

predict that we win never again see low
prices for Strawberries, raspberries, To-
ganberries or any other red berry, be-
cause my hoy and your boy and every
other fellows boy that went to France
was taught to eat jam.
Why do they eat jam? You know that
the price of meat today is very high. You
go down to the butcher shop and every
body along the counter is growing at the
price Of meat. Each of US will be looking
for some substitute to take the place of
meat. Why do we eat meat? Because
1t is concentrated force. In other words,
1t puts steam in the human boiler. Just
as we put coal under the boiler to cook
our berries in the cannery, we eat meat
to keep the heat in the body. The truth
Of the matter, friends. is that sugar is
the greatest heat producer that can be
made. Jam made of half fruit and half
sugar will do the same thing as meat.
Therefore, the substitute when we finally
como around to it is going to be jam. If
that is true it is going to open a wonder
full market for the berries that formerly
could not be marketed successfully
was in Boston six years ago and went
into jam making company's plant. At
that time they were throwing the fruit
juices into the sewer because they had no
use for them. Today you can get more
for the juice than for the berries.

White Leghorns for
Success

In the Puyallup Valley we are practic-
ing to some extent what | call Three
Story Farming. believe that you people
can do that same thing here. and do it
successfully. What is Three-Story Farm
ing? My idea Of it is to raise three crops
on the same ground at the same time.
Mr.. Reed, your worthy poutry1nan here,
is man whom have known for O good
many years. ! believe he knows the
poultry business and ! believe he will lead
you in the right channel.
There is one chicken that is a wonder
full egg producer. If we want to produce
eggs it don't make any difference what
you like. What you should want is to
make success of your business. There
is only one chicken for you to have, and
that is the White Leghom, because where
eggs are produced commercially that va
riety is the outstanding producer of eggs.
We should get the White Leghorns and
then adopt the most economical method,
such as the Alderwood Manor system or
the Western Washington Experimental
Station methods.
Speaking of the Western Washington
Experimental Station, there is man and
woman by the name of Shoup, and be-
lieve Mrs. Shoup is the better man of the
two. They have done wonders for the
Puyallup Valley and Western Washington
in teaching US to handle chickens. They
have absolutely revolutionized the chicken
industry in our ommunity-placed it on
highly profitable basis.
The secretary Of our Fruit Growers
Association, Mr.. Ridley, was drawing
salary of $500 month. He resigned his
position because he could make more
money with his flock Of White Leghorns
than we could possibly pay him in our
berry industry.

Riches From
FiUe Acres of Land

II these statements are true man on
three or five or ten acres of land can
make more money with berries than on
any other crop. ! am recommending to
you loganberries because we have all the
raspberries and blackberries we need
Therefore, If you are hunting a market,
grow things that YOU can find market
for in the easiest possible way.
Gooseberries are also an excellent crop
for your second story. Gooseberry jam
is a wonderful product We cannot get
ten per cent of what we should have to
supply our demand. We shipped goose
berries Fl ON Salem and Corvallis, Oregon,
and from every place we could possibly
find them, and paid the topnotch price in
order to get them.
Red and black currants are also in
great demand. The English trade is very
solicitous for black currant jam or black
currant jelly.
learned long time ago to grow what
the other fellow wanted to buy. The only
way you can separate him from his
money is to grow something that he
wants and sell it to him. So much for
Second-Story Farming.
For the third story in farming l am
going to recommend to you Damson
pums, because they make one of the
most delicious jams possible to make.
Bartlett pears also are in great de-
mand. This year we shipped from Yaki-
ma and Wenatchee to Puyallup 1000 tons
of Bartlett pears.
The California pear is so soft that you
cannot take the stem out of the neck of
the pear without the pear sloughing to
pieces. The Western Washington pear
grows so firm that you can remove the
stem without the slightest injury to the
fruit. Therefore, our pear is equal to a

money for cannery. said TO our peo-
pie: Don't plant loganberries, because it
is not berry that is eaten fresh from
the table but is best for preserves"
The loganbery from canning view
point is one of the most wonderful berries
that can be grown. Now that we are in
berries to sell to the man who wants
them. This year ! sent our buyer down
to the Willamette Valley in Oregon and
we shipped by express to the Puyallup
Valley from that section 700 tons OF
loganberries. want to say to you that
the Willamette Valley cannot grow logan
berries half as good as can be grown in
Western Washington.
Why not buy them in Western WASH
ington? Because they are not grown
here except in limited quantities Yet
they can be grown here just as well as
they can be grown anywhere else. You
people will suffer no loss by growing all
Of this acreage here to loganberries, be-
cause our company and other companies
will be delighted to make contract with
you for five years, or ten years, for your
entire crop at so much per pound for the
series of years, with a provision in the
contract that we will pay any addition to
that minimum price that the berries arc
worth that particular year. In other
words, you can sit down with pencil
and paper and figure just what you are
going to get for your crop. We need the
Ioganberries to fill in with the raspberries
and strawberries and blackberries, be-
cause we can sell better if we have full
line.
This year we shipped strawberries from
Sacramento. California. by express to
Puyallup-seven carloads - because we
could not get Strawberries enough.
Most of you know the Beachnut prod
ucts. The manager of the Beachnut fac
tory came out here this year. took him
to lunch with me and gave him some of
our Marshall strawberries. He turned
around to me and said: mr.. Paulhamus.
! just wish / could take that plate of
strawberries and present it to our Beach
nut directors" To make long story
short, we sold the Beachnut people all we
could spare-one carload-to put in bar
res We shipped them a carload of
Strawberries. loganberries and blackber-
ries, and they would have taken as many
more if we could have shipped them.
We had an order from one Philadelphia
ice cream company for 5000 barrels Of
Strawberries. All we could sell them was
one carload Of 100 barrels.

If this land around here will raise the
things ! have enumerated, and / believe
it will, this is an opportunity for man
to get his own home and be independent.

South Dakota and was working in bank.

morning and the school bell started to
ring. / said to myself THAT isn't ring
ing for me-" was through. We are all
anxious to get in business for ourselves.
Any man is a better, bigger man who
works for himself.
l have no land to sell, but I know
enough about Western Washington land
down our way to know that it raises just
as good berries on the hill tops as it does
in the valleys. In fact, we get better
Strawberries from our hill land than we
get in the valleys; and know we raise
just as good red raspberries on the hill
tops. If this is true of Alderwood Manor,
and if conditions are as they look to me to
be. no person will make mistake in get
ting a piece of this land and putting it in
fruit. In year your five acres will be
worth twice as much as it is today.
just want to leave this with you: Any
land today that is planted to the right
kind of fruit can be sold in year from
today for twice as much as IL can today.
II we would mix around more we would
be much better citizens and make more
money. Get out and mingle. See what
the other fellow is doing, and we will
some day have an opportunity like the
other fellow.
thank you.

UESTIONN ARE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLEXINo PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to- encourage
building IN order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also heIp7
Answer.-It is learned that such q
plan is in effect and Is linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works Of war to the ways Of peace.
Employment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is NO
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute IL normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them win come
with resumption Of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities Of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now OF, and there is
scarcely a town, q city, a factory, q
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
Q crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
It costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost Of neglect Ne matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.
