BERRIES, PEARS
KEEP CANNER|ES
BUSY; NEED HELP

Approximately 1873 tons OF
pears. the most OF which are ship
ped in from Medford, Yakima and
Hood River, as we'll as about 118
tons OF blackberries are being put
up as daily pack of the combined
canneries OF Salem. Work is fur
nished to about 1900 men and
women. Most of the women work
ing In the canneries are making
on an average OF about SO per day.
A good many are making as high
as $3.50 and SIS. What fruit that
Is being shipped goes east.
New Grader Used.
The most complete equipment
for the handling OF fruit is founC
in the Kings Products company.
most OF which is the invention OF
]. r. Nero, superintendent Of the
canning operations. The most
convenient and UP to date
part OF the equipment is the
sorter. 1t is made on the roller
type and has capacity OF SO tons
of fruit per day. This machine is
remarkable In considering other
graders in that 1t requires a
space but 8x8 feet and feet
high. The usual grader is from
Is to 80 feet in length. Another
feature of the grader in use at
Kings is that with a slight adj
justment OF a few screws 1t can
be fixed so as to handle any fruit
from strawberries to apples. Mr..
Nero has applied for the patent on
his invention and expects to place
the article on the market next
year. For a good many years the
canneries have been trying to get
a sorter that would handle all
kinds OF fruits and at the same
time take up very small space.
Another feature OF the Kings
cannery not found in all others is
the system of conveyors. From the
time the fruit is washed, 1t or
the cans, are not touched until
they have passed through the
cooker. From the cars cans are
fed automatically to the work
bench so that all the lady does
who Is doing the canning is to
reach up. take a can and at once
another is there to take It's place.
Women Are Needed.
The crying need of the canner-
les at present is more women
workers. Mr.. Nero says that he l.
taking all that he can get and still
wants more. The Oregon Growers
are making a special tnducement
to the women for few days In an
effort to increase the help. They
are offering twenty-five cents to
each woman who brings a new
worker and then offer her the
same amount for the first four
days that the lady stays with the
company. The privilege is then
extended to the new worker. AT
the Oregon Growers eannery said
yesterday. I'VE are up against 1t
and must have help"

day from SO SIS to 99A cent per

TODD FARMER RoTATES
CROPS BY GOOD SYSTEM

d. N. Russell, a Todd county farm
er- living in the southern part of the
county, is using a system of rotating
crops on his farm that could be used
with good results by many other far
mers of the state, according to r. E.
Stephenson, soils specialist of the
College of Agriculture, who has just
returned from there. Chief among
the good points of Mr. Russelrs ro-
tation is the fact that he has a le-
gume, sweet clover, growing on his
land at least half of the time. AL
most all the fertility from this clover
goes back to the land either in the
form of manure produced by the

lOldNlOu'
Mr.. Russell this last summer had
one field of sweet clover which had
gone one round of the rotation. The
clover had come back from the seed
plowed under and made dense
stand in spite of the fact that it was
topped when the wheat was cut and
in addition had been grazed with cat
tie. Next year, this clover should
produce a large amount of grazing
judging from the growth made dur,
ing this last summer In addition
enough seed should be matured to
turn under.
The soil on which the rotation is
being used comes from the st. Louis
limestone formation and is a rich
type when cared for properly. A light
application of limestone and acid
phosphate is all that is needed ia
give legumes. such as sweet clover a
start. There are thousands of acres
Of these limestone soils in the state
that can be kept in a high state OF
fertility through the use Of rotation

SEAT OF WASHINGTON FAMILY

Nineteenth century by an American
genealogist, Colonel Chester, who de-
elared that the two alleged emigrants
never left England. John, he main
tanned, became Sir John Washington,
OF Thrapston, and Lawrence, the Rev.
Lawrence Washington, rector Of Pu7-
leigh, Essex. >s"@5
In 1883 another American geneaIogist,
Henry II. Waters. embarked on another
exploration OF George Wasfington's
pedigree. After 1abors extending over
six years he published conclusive proof
that Lawrence Washington, rector OF
PurIeigh, was the father of two boys,
John and Lawrence. who emigrafed to
Virginia. John being the g~reat-grand-
father OF General Washington.
According to Sir Isaac Heard, The
PurIeigh rector WINS the e~nnigraIt, bur

Mrs. W%ashington's Levee.
Mrs. Washington held her levee, as
on other Friday evenings, but on no
previous occasion had m been graced
with so much responsibility and ele-
gance. The air was almost as gentle
as it should be in May, and the full
moon shone so brightly that the streets
to a late hour were filled with a de-
licious twilight. 1t was not the GUS
tom for visitors of the President to
sit, but it appears from Mr.. Pintard's
diary that, on this night, at least, there
were chairs in the oom where Mrs.
Washington saw her guests, for latter
they were seated" tea and coffee, and
plum and plain cake, were dispensed
by the attending servants. She re-
marked, while speaking Of the days
occurrences, that none of them had
so pleased the general (by which title
she always designated her husband)
as the friendly greetings Of the gentle
men who called upon him at noon.
Mrs. Washington had stood by his
side as the visitors arrived and were
presented, and when the clock In the
hall was heard striking 8, she adj

said. 1.-The general always sretires at

with the invention of the talking

public generally than has ever ex.

While some objection has been
made against these mechanical in.
