WHEAT CAMPAIGN

C. Addressed Farmers
Here Last Night
FALL SOWING BEST PLAN
Much Land Planted to Hoans and
Corn May lie Seeded Early .
- -. This Fall Without
Flowing.
The billion bushel wheat campaign
was opened for Oregon when District
. Agent Hurd ot Douglas county in
troduced) Prof. G. R. Hyslop, of the
Oregon Agricutlural College, to an
audience of about 40 farmers and
business men ot tho vicinity of Rose
burg, and said in part:
"The campaign includes not only
wheat and rye as In the eastern
states but under the favorable cli
matic conditions of western Oregon,
also winter barley and winter oats.
"Winter cereals are better than
the spring cereals for many sections
of Douglas county because they get
started in the fall with the first fall
rains. They grow during the rainy
season and get the full benefit of that
moistAire and also that of the early
spring months. In fact winter grain
is In many cases practically made
before the spring grain has a good
start. By the time the rains are
over In the early summer the winter
grains- are nearly ripe and conse
quently suffer little or none from the
dry weather at or about harvest
time. i
"Mr. Hurd reports hundreds of
acres of land in the country avail
able for fall seeding .the land in
corn, beans, sugar beets, and other
cultlvated crops may be put Into fall
grain after the crop is removed by
simply drilling the seed. In some
cases the Held may need to be disked
before seeding.
"Labe spring plowed, land on
which crop has been very light will
In many Instances be fit for seeding
to fall grajji .after a good. disking.
!'An encouraging item in last
nights Evening News stated that the
disc plow had been started on the
Wood farm. The Oregon Agricul
tural college believes in dry plow
ing with a disc plow and the disc
plow starts on the college farm this
week. By dry plowing until the fall
fains set In and by plowing with the
moldboard plow after that lime. It
will be possible to bring many acres
Into the cultivation of the fall grains.
"The college Is recommending
Turkey Red, Forty Fold, and Little
Club as winter wheats, white winter
barley, gray winter oats and winter
rye for this county and through
District Agent Hurd will distribute

of these varieties.

Through the courtesy of Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Harding, who
own a beautiful 80-acre tract ot
fruit land at Winston, ten acres
of which is planted to pears,
the boys at Fort Stevens and
Fort Canby will have an op-
porUinity to express their ap-
preclation of the excellent qual-
ity of fruit produced in this
lection.
' Today twenty-seven boxes of
fine Bartlett pears were donat-
ed by Mr. and Mrs. Harding to
' the soldier boys and the fruit
is now on Its way to their head-
quarters. Victor Micelll, who
is here on a short furlough had
charge of the shipment and
states that the fruit was care-
. fully packed and will reach its
destination In fine shape. At
first it was decided to send the
' fruit by express but owing to
the high cost of shipment In
this manner it became neces-
sary to send It by freight at
- a cost of about $8. This may
delay the arrival a few days but
will In no way Impair the
quality.
It Is . a foregone conclusion
that this stroke of generosity
will be very much appreciated
by the soldiers whose appetites
for fresh fruit have almost gone
beyond control.
The shipment was sent direct
to Fort Stevens and upon its ar-
rival a part of the consignment
will be sent to Fort Canby for
the local boys stationed at that
fort. All expenses Incurred in
the packing and shipment of the
fruit was met by Mr. Harding.
seed and to get the ground ready as
soon as possible. Douglas county
produces very little full grain
this year. It Is the surest grain
crop for this county, a good prjee is
assured, and 'the nation needs the
grain."
The speaker stated that from his
observation he believed that the
wheat yield In Douglas county can be
increased several hundred per cent.
Much pasture land where the grass
has been practically destroyed by
long pasturing could be more profit
ably sown to wheat, barley or oats.
Attention was called to the fact
that a hay famine faces the people
of thiB state and the saving of all
corn and bean fodder, and straw was
urged.
This highly, interesting and In
structive lecture was followed by a
general discussion by those present
many pertinent questions being ask
ed and answered.

morning in his auto for Winchester

this time. George said he was going

ing due to a paralytic stroke. '
Miss Clara Hicks anu Mrs. Edgar
Hufham, neighbors living directly
across the street from the home of
Mrs. Carle, were frequent visitors
there and often helped her with the
house work. Monday evening Miss
Hicks, not seeing Mrs. Carle as usual
went over to her home to ascertain
the cause and the yonng lady was
horrifledi to find the body of her
friend lying on tho floor dressed only
In her night clothes. She Immediate
ly hastened to a telephone and Dr.
Sether was summoned. Mrs. Carle
was Still alive when placed on her
bed and everything posshiie was done j
for the sufferer, but after a brief
struggle passed away. The unfor
tunate woman had been enjoying the
host of health and her many friends
and acquaintances are shocked at her
sudden death.
Mrs. Carle has been working quite
hard of lato and Sunday evening was
cleaning house preparatory to receiv
ing roomers that were to come today
and acocrdlng to neighbors who talk
ed with her was In high spirits.
Mrs.. Carle It was learned from
friends today had been In the habit
of rising early, sometimes as early as
four o'clock, and when asked by
them, why she arose so early she re
plied that she could not sleep. It Is
believed that the unfortunate woman
arose early as usual Monday morn
ing and was In the act of preparing
her breakfast when stricken by
paralysis and that she lay all day
alone on the floor of her home.
Her husband, L. D. Carlo, who
died about three years ago was In

years. He sold his business inter
ests here and went to Alaska during
the gold rush and remained in the
north for some time. He later re
turned here and aftpr a lingering ill

known throughout Douglas county.
Since the death of her husband,
Mrs. Carle haa been living alone a

survived by a daughter. Mrs. Gay
Huffman, of Raymond. Wash

Davis, of Salt Iake, Utah, and a
grandson lAverne Huffman, of Co
qullle, all of whom have been notified
and until they are heard from no fu
neral arrangements can be made, but
It Is probable that the body will be
laid to rest here.
