'The, race driver is no stranger

came in 1914, when he made a bid
to the press headlines when he
erased through the fence at Hel

with Eddie Hearne and Louis Dis

HAY PRODUCTION COSTS -
INVESTIGATED BY 0. A. C.
; , Detailed information on tho
cost of production of all types of
hay In practically every section of
Oregon has been compiled through
two years study on 3ti6 farms
made by H. E, Selby of the, depart
ment of - farnr management of the
'experiment Btation. Thle- investigii
tion carried out under tho provis
ions of the federal Furncll fund Is
recognized as the most extensive
study of forage crop costs ever
made.
A summary of the results of tho
first two years work show the av
erage cost of alfalfa hay produc
tion to be $7,911 a ton for the state,
varying between ?6,6 for the
Baker-Union region to for
' the Willamette valley. In the Wil
lamette valley clover hay cost
$7.38 a ton to produce when seed
ed with grain, and $10.32 when
seeded alone. Vetch and oats cost
$111.20, cheat hay $.77, corn silage
$7.72, vetch silage $1.10, and kale
$3.75 a ton. In-all cases cash ex
penses, labor and overhead were
considered.
Tho Htudy covered farms in Mal-
1 hour, linker, Union, De&chutes,
Crook, Klamath, Josephine, Jack
son and eight Willamette . valley
counties. A progress report has
been prepared and will bo mailed

Mr. Ananias' 'Wherein a hunter

a similar experience of my own
On a " certain morning many

Ingly choae a- road that had been
opened for the purpose of hauling
rails out of tho timber, and after
traveling approximately a mile, my
son who was trudging along be-,

pointing off to the left whispered
"There's a deer." "He, being only
ton or twelve years old was able
'to discern under the brush what
was entirely hidden from me; but
dropping down on one knee I be

hroadalde, as fine a target as any
hunter could wish. I had a good
muzzle loading rifle charged with
black powder, which raised such
a smoke screen that nothing could
be seen until It cleared away.- By
the time I had re-loaded, however,
tho boy exclaimed "You never
touched it; it's standing right
there yet." Dropping down In my
former position, sure enough there
stood a spike buck apparently In
the identical position as when I
fired.
