Frosts to Damage Fruit
And Berry Crop of Valley
But Little Says Paulus

That damages accruing from the re-
cent mid-winter frosts will affect a
very small percentage of next seasons
crop is the optinon of-Robert G. -Paulus.
of the Salem Fruit Union.
That trees and vines in portions of the
bottom sections sustained some dam
age has been generally conceded, but
even in the sections which first report
held at total loss, the milder weather
finds trees and vines recuperating.
Mr.. Paulus also observes that the
heaviest loss sustained by the logan
berry growers was in instances where
the yards had been cleaned up and
trellised, the total of loss being mini
mized, however, by small percentage
of acreage on the wires at the time OF
the frost. Most growers had their
vines down as they had tipped them
for new plants.
Strong Market Prospect.
Mr.. Paulus asserts that present
stocks Of fruit products will be cleaned
from the market before the next mar
ket placement is made and that this
one fact alone warrants anticipation
for sustained market. Mr.. Paulus
says:
1T is too early 10 make any definite
forecast as to the prices which grow
ers will receive during this season, but
1t is reasonable to predict god prices,
Judging from the heavy domand and
the short market Growers should an
ticipate now the increased demand for
berries and should increase present
acreage as much as possible. Planting
of logans, Strawberries, evergreensI
black and red raspberrles are In keep
ing with increasing demands brought
about by nationwide prohibition. In
every large city of the United States
consumption Of fruit beverages has in
creased a hundred fold and the wise
grower viii put himself in position
TO profit accordingly by increasing
paintings.
Development Needed.
If the Willamette valley Is to actual

must be taken Of the splendid oppor.

under the auspices OF the Historical
society, Of Marshall county, and was
introduced ~ Supt. Aaron Palmer,
OF the schools, chairman OF the pro-
gram comm ttce.
Saying that the best way 10 ap-
pro1ch Rome was from the south,
Professor Spencer described very
realistically Naples, the grandeur OF
the bay, Mt. Vesuvius. the ruins
and the excavations of the city Of
Pompeii and the life and the Gus
toms of the peasant folk of the viii
lagos Of Italy.
Entering the city of Rome from
the south, the first impressions of
the visitor are lasting, for the park
Tor the common people lies just in
side the south gate Of the great wall,
enclosing Rome. The history Of ia
NOUS buildings, gates, statues and
paintings, shown in the pictures,
added much to the interest of the
lecture.
.lnong the important places of
historical interest visited were the
coliseum. the forum, st. Peters
church. the pantheon, and Palatine
hill, the latter the location for the
palace of the Caesars. Professor
Spencer closed his talk with a splen-
did tribute to Victor Emmanuel,
king Of Italy, who, in spite of the
fact that he came from a bad family.
has become one of the most beloved
rulers Of EurOue
