The great reducing process will be featured by interesting develop ments in baseball for this year.
 Will Babe Ruth's salary of ESQ., 900 be reduced to $60,O0O or $50,- 900? Will Hack Wilson, complete ly divested of his $35,O00 contract and traded, stage a comeback? !? Will the minor leagues be able to shake off the death rate and come back to profitable life under their reorganization scheme? Will Max Carey succeed where wilbert Rob- inson failed with the Brooklyn club?
 Unquestionably the big leagues will make a strenuous effort to strengthen the second division out fits, having in mind the advantage of the keenest available competi- ton. They were doing very well until the Cardinals and Athletics ran away with the races last Sep tefnber. Neither club is likely to do it again although both un-

 The soldiers bonus bill was an- other measure fathered by Ford ney. Clinging tenaciously to the measure while it was drawing fire from other legislators, Fordney on several occasions repeated, Tt is the only honorable thing to do."
 The basis of Fordney's activities in the timber business was laid through knowledge he gained at his fathers sawmill in Indiana When the family reached Saginaw the future Congressman took a job as chore boy at 50 cents a day before he became cook. Meanwhile he continued to study business When he set out as a cruiser and estimator he found himself well equipped for the work.
 His arrangement wirc the cap- italist called for a salary of $1,8O0 year and one-half of the profits The business prospered. Later when the Michigan forests had been cut over. Fordney transferred his interests to the south and the Pacific northwest, in the region oi the "big trees"

Nations Apple
Crop Is Still
Growing Less
A SHRINKAGE OF 1000, 900 BUSH
ELS OF APPLES is NOTED
SINCE AUGUST /

According to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture report issued Septem-
Der 10, the estimated pear production
on September this year of 22,174,OOO
bushels is slightly in excess of the
estimated crop of 22,l49,O0O bushels on
August |. Washington is the second
largest pear producing state, being ex-
ceeded in this respect only by New
York
The estimated peach production in
the nation on September was 49,
$4,000 bushels, also slightly larger
than the August estimate of 49,
10000 bushels, but is far under the
crop Of 76,586,OOO bushels harvested in
1881
In contrast to the pear and peach
crops, however, the estimated apple
production in the nation suffered quite
slump under the August l estimate,
the figures being 90,5130OO bushels on
August ! and 88,851 900 bushels on Sep
TENDER as against a total production
last year of 02,4l5,00O bushels. Wash
ington is now by far the largest apple
producing state in the union with an
estimated yield on September of 49,
100000 bushels New York with an es-
timated crop of 13,116,0O0 bushels, is
second

Back-tO-Farm
Movement Is
Now Underway
u. s. REPORT SHOWS 100000 PEG
PIE HAVE LEFT CITIES
FOR LAND IN YEAR

Increasing numbers of unemployed
city people, who at one time were farm
residents are seeking low price lands
where they may return to the country
and build homes, according to II. w.
Reynolds, commissioner of the Agri-
cultural Development and Colonization
department of the Milwaukee Road,
who has just completed survey OF
the back-to- the-land movement in the
western states
"Our government reports that there
was a net movement from the cities
to the country of some 100000 people
during the past year and my obserVa-
ton substantiates that report. Humid
reds are turning to reliable sources to
direct them to localities where soil,
climatic, market, school, church and
general living conditions assure the in
dustrious steady employment, regular
meals, comfortable shelter, sufficient
fuel, friendly neighbors and chance
to provide for old age" Mr.. Reynolds
said.
The landward bound are cautioned
to secure all the reliable data avail
able concerning the territory before
purchasing farm. Doing so may pre-
vent future heartaches, Mr.. Reynolds
points out
fortunately, now that there is a
back to- the-land movement, there are
sources of information through which
land seekers may secure for the asking
reliable up-to-date directions for max
ing purchases. Many of the states
served by the Milwaukee Road and,
of course, the railroad itself, have had
trained and experienced men survey
all agricultural areas along our lines
and are now ready to direct new land
seekers accurately to communities or
farms where settler may, with dill
gence, build farm home having all
the allurements of country life. The
findings of those surveys, if used,
should materially reduce the percent
ages of failures as we'll as conserve
the capital available for the purchase
of farm" according to Mr.. Reynolds.
On recent inspection trip Mr. Rey
nolds found that there is scarcely a
vacant set of farm buildings in the
good farming areas along the more
than 1000 miles that comprise the
Milwaukee Road. He said that the
abandoned farm is not to be found in
the good agricultural territory.

Ballygreen Farm Claims
Dahlia Championship

An article appearing in the Yakima
Morning Herald of Sunday September
| II, stated that man in Yakima had
found in his garden tall dahlia mea-
surfing seven feet and ten inches in
height, with blossoms six inches across
Mentioned in the same article was a
| dahlia raised in Seattle garden, that
measured seven feet and six inches in
| height
Now comes Mrs. j. w. Nagel of Bally-
green Farm, who has dahlias entirely
out of the seven foot class
Mrs. Nagel has all named varieties
and topping the list is the Pride of
Portland, standing eleven feet and two
inches Next comes Champagne, ten
feet seven inches tall, with blossoms
seven inches across; then there is Mar
mion, nine feet and one inch, blossoms
eight inches across.
Jersey Beauty, Thomas Edison and
Cigarette each measures eight feet and
nine inches, with the Grizzly at eight
feet, four inches, closely followed by
the City of Portland, eight feet and
three inches.
Jersey Ideal, a beautiful orchid in
color, with blossoms seven inches
across, measures eight feet.
Mrs. Nagel has many other varieties
that measure over seven feet. She says
that she has raised wonderful dahlias
at her former home in Yakima, and
also on the Coast, but that she has
never before had the success she has
had at Ballygreen.
The planting this year was made
between the 18th and Goth of April.
Mrs Nagel says she does not know
whether it is the fine soil, the clear,
cold Columbia river water, the wonder
full climate or the combination of all
three that is responsible for these fine
plants.

Political
Observations
BY Jimmie X. Browne

Now that the primaries are over ex-
ttfSes campaign for 1922 will open WIZ,
heavy artillery on all sides.
During the next sixty days the cleo
torate of the state is going to be bonn
barded from all sides, through the ra-
dio, on the stage and stand, and from
the pulpits.
The candidates, without exception,
are going to promise great things in
the way of tax reductions. A few are
going to try to explain that to bring
about tax reduction means the elm
ination of many fine jobs, city, county
and state. These courageous candidates
will bring down upon their heads the
wrath of the entrenched office holder,
and his kind are legion.
After short swing through the state,
the political observer cannot help but
be impressed by the general attitude
of the voting public, that is, the noisy
type. This voter demands tax reduction
in one breath but bitterly resents any
proposal to reduce costs of government
if such means separating someone from
public payroll Incidentally the same
voter is heartily in favor of proposals
which enacted into law will increase
taxes tremendously.
Yet it is this type which apparently
controls when it comes to voting.
The last few days of the primary
campaign were devoted to "red hot eX-
poses" by some of the candidates. In
making such exposures in but few in
stances did the candidates confine
themselves to actual facts. This is
what makes the campaign lively, but
misleading to the general public.
From this time on there is going to
be wide scramble for legislative seats,
and in every district of the state it
behooves the voters to carefully study
the ideas and programs of the candi-
dates irrespective of tickets.
Virtually every candidate for gov
ernor during the primary campaign
promised this, that, and the other thing
in the way of legislation, whereas the
governor is not legislative officer but
the administrative head of the state.
In infringing upon the legislative
rights, these candidates served notice
they intended to mix into legislative
affairs, or in other words, would at
tempt to be both the legislative and the
executive branches of the government
at the same time
In October the county budget makers
will be active overhauling the estimates
for the coming year and that means
that tax saving groups, organizations
demanding reduction in costs of gov
eminent, must be prepared to appear
and make their wants understood
This is one year when the county
officials are not much worried about
politics. Outside of a commissioner or
two here and there among the coun-
ties, the other county officers are not
fighting to hold their jobs. Because of
this there will be an inclination to
follow along the beaten path and pay
little attention to the average taxpayer.
