His hotel in Fori land has been

been not to strike out after new
and original things in the way ol
development of Oregon, but rath
er to sit on the lid, to see that
Oregon doesn't get into trouble
through boiling over with new en
thusiasms.
We have had many leaders of
that type here in Oregon. And un
der their leadership Oregon has
fallen behind her neighbors in the
march of progress.

we must admit that under this
type of leadership Oregon has

made has been SOLID growth.

Combine Equipment Proves
Value in Progressive
Farming; Pullets
Yield Early.
by R. R. WOOD
Among the progressive farmers
of Douglas county who are reacti
ng out to r greater achievements
tn agricultural pursuits, undaunted
by tlie low ebb in farm products.
J. B. Oaihcart, who farms a big
place near Voncalia. Mr. 'Cat heart
relieves the only way to beat iow
priccB Is to make the business of
farming so thorough that produc-
1011 custs will be greatly lessened,
and then sell to tne best advan
tage. This farmer is a grower of
iam, raises sheep, and carries on
general farm operations. He uses
the latest methods in preparing
oil and seeding the ground, and
then harvests the crops the quick
est way through the use of latest
.liachinery. He has just purchased
Oliver combine outfit, putting
hte equipment in operation Thurs
day. D. B. fteed, of Portland, rep-
esenting the machinery house,
was present to get the outfit in
good trim for the season's busi
ness.
Farmers Watch Test
The combine, powered by a
Hart-Parr 18-36. was in operation
yesterday on the C. R. Dear farm
Just south of Yoncalla, where it
was put at work on a 20-acre field
of purple vetch that was dead ripe,
and a heavy stand. A number of
interested farmers of the Yon
calla neighborhood and Rice valley
wtis present to see the machine at
work. That Mr. Cat heart was able
to fulfill his policy of saving to
the farmer by cheapening the cost
of production the men present
agreed he was doing, as the com
bine did a clean job, cutting and
threshing the vetch without any
loss in the way of cracked or
broken seed, and besides demon
strating ability to get down under
grain that because of heavy
growth had lodged. This lodged
grain is always difficult to save,
but the combine used by Mr. Oath-
cart is so adjusted that it will cut
almost us close as a mower, and
in this way saved much that oth
erwise might be lost. The vetch
came through the machine in
practically pertect condition, was
sacked and the bags sewed and
dumped in wake of the combine
ready to be picked up and trucked
to the warehouse or granary.
Waste Eliminated
This demonstration was carried
Dn at tlie Dear farm because Mr.
Cathcart'8 own fields wore hardly
ripe enough lo cut and thresh
This field of vetch, according" tc
estimates made by farmers, was
running around 29 bushels of seed
;o the acre. This was considered
excellent, and there was uo waste,
is in some cases of harvesting by
the old method a loss of 25 per
sent Is sustained through cracked
or broken grain, which is ruined
in the process of handling. The
farmers present at the demonstra
tion agreed that the combine
would save practically 10u per
cent of the crop, and in this way a
profit, heretofore lost, will be sav
ed tlie grower.
There are a number of purple
vetch growers in the .Yoncalla val;
ley, and these people, speaking of
the efforts to get growers of this
LMop in Humboldt county, Califor
nia, and iu Douglas county, to co
operate tn holding up the price on
their products, believe It is the
only way of preventing middle
men 4"rom gobbling all the profits,
and the feature story lu the News
Review of Tuesday regarding the
plan, was warmly praised.
E. H. Holm living on the Cala
pooia west of Oakland, has -flock
of 25 Leghorn pullets that he be
lieves are haul to beat. These
birds were bought as day-old
chicks the middle of March, and
ate just past the age of four
months. They ate not only a fine
lot to look at. but they have he
gun to lay, and for the past few
days have been shelling out a
number of eggs, the increase per
day being noticeable. At the rate
they are coming into production.
Mr. Holm feels certain he .will
have one of the prize flocks In the
county l.y the time egg prices be
cln to go up. He has these birds
housed in a modern building 24xti0
lev!, with plenty ol litter for them
to work in, and roosting place well
protected front the draught. Light
and ventilation are well provided

WHAT HAS HAPPENED !
BEFORE
Faith Kllcup had always looked
upon Captain Noll Wing,
oi me
whaler. Sally Sims, as a master
and tower of strength, but shortly
after their marrlase he changed.
Dissipation and old age'were exact
ing their toll. The men of his crew-
no longer feared him. talln was
disillusioned. Dan'l Tobey, second
mate, who loves Faith, vainly tries
lo discredit NolJ before Faith. In
a quarrel Noll kicks out the eye of
Mauger, a member ot the crew.
Thereafter, he fears Mauger's ven
geance. When the Sally Sims puts
into a lonely island, Faith goes
ashore. She meets an ex-sailor
named Brander, who goes with hr
to join Noll's CTew.
NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII.
When Mr. Ham, waiting by the j
boat with his men, saw Faith com
ing, and saw the stranger at her
side, he went to meet them. His
bearing was laclined to truculence.
Faith was ashore here in his
charge; if this man had disturbed
her
Faith reassured him.
"I've a hand for you.Mr. Ham,"
she called. "You need men."
Mr. Ham stopped ten paces from
them, his legs spread wide. He
looked from' Faith to Brander.
Brander smiled In a friendly way.
"Can you use me?" he asked.
"I know the work."
Mr. Ham frowned thoughtfully.
"What's this, ma'am?" he asked
'aith. "Who's that man?"
"Ask him," said Faith quietly.
I believe he wants to ship. 1
told him we were short."
The ,mate looked at Brander.
His attitude toward Faith had been
deferential; toward Brander he as
sumed unconsciously the terroriz
ing frown which he was accus
tomed to turn upon the men. I
What uo you want?" he chal
lenged.
To ship with you," Brander re
plied pleasantly.
"What are you doing here?
"I was third mate on the Thom
as Morgan," said Brander.
Cap n Marks? Mr. Ham asked.
"Yes."
"We've no use for any o Marks's
mates aboard the Sally!"
Brander smiled.
"I wasn't thinking of shipping
as mate. Can you use a hand?"
Where's the Thomas Morgan ?"
On the Solander Grounds, like
ly.'
' How come you re not with her?
"I left them hereabouts."
"Left them?"
"Yes."
"They've got the name on the
Morgan of letting men -po!"
"They had no choice. They were
otherwise engaged when I took
my leave." - -
That's a slovenly ship," said Mr.
Ham.
"One reason why I'm not on her
now."
The mate frowned.
"I'm not saying it's not In your
favor that you got away from
them, and we do need men. Men,
not officers," he added hastily.
"That suits me."
Mr. Ham looked around. Fairi
stood a littje at one side, listening
quietly.
"Well, come aboard," said thj
mate. "See what the old mat
says."
Brander nodded.
"Thanks, sir," he said.
He adopted easily and without
abasement, tne attitude of a fo'
mast hand toward the officer, and
went ahead of the mate and Fa'.th
to stow his bundle in the boat. The
other men waiting there ques
tioned him: but they all fell silent
as Mr. Ham and Faith came to
where the boat lay on the sand.
Tichel had already taken the
watercasks out to the whaler. The
men took the whale-boat and
dragged it down to the water.
When it was half afloat. Faith and
the mate got In. The men shove.l
off. wading till the water was deep
enough for them to clamber
aboard, snatch their oars, and push
out through the rollers. They la
bored desperately for a little till
they were clear of the turbulent
waters of the beach, then settled
to their work.
Brander sat amidships, his bun
dle at his feet, lending a hand now
and then on the oar of the man
who faced him. Once he looked
toward Faith; she met his eyes.
Neither spoke, neither . smiled.
The island was receding behind
them; Brander turned to watch it.
They drew alongside the Sally.
Dan'l Tobey was at the rail to
receive them. The mat stood in
the tossing boat and lifted Faith
easily to -Dan'l at the rail; Dan'l
swung her aboard. Mr. Ham fol
lowed, then Brander, then the men.
The mate saw to the unloading of
the hat and saw It safely stowed.
Then he turned to Brander.
"Come and see the old man," he
said. Dani Tobey heard.
"He's asleep." he told Mr. Ham.
"Who is this?"
"He wants to ship," the mate
said. "Says he was on the Thomas
Morgan."
"The captain's w ife found him in
the bush." Mr. Ham added.
"Beach-c Ombe r eh ?' Dan'l
drawled.
"No sir," Brander said respect
fully. "I lived on the hill there
the highest one. You can make
out my place with the glass."
"He was third mate on the Mor-!
gan." said Mr. Ham. i
" e don t need an officer,
Dani suggested.
Brander sensed (He fact that
Dani disliked him; he wondered
at it.
"I'm asking to ship as a sea
man, sir." he said.
Mr. Ham looked at Dani.
"Best speak to the captain?" he
asked.
"Oh. set him ashore!" Dani ex
claimed. "He's a (rouhle-maWiM
Too wise for the fo'c's'le!" He
looked at Brander insolently.
"Can't you see he's a man of edu
cation, Mr. Ham? What would he
want to ship before the mast for?"
Mr. Ham looked puzzled.
"How about it," he asked Bran
der sharply.
Brander smiled.
"I did it. in the beginning, for
sport," he said. "Now lin doin
it to get home if you need a man.
If not, I'll go ashore."
Faith, standing hy, spoke quietly.
"Ship him, Mr. Ham," she said.
Her words were not a request;
they were a command. Dani
looked at her swiftly, shrewdly.
Mr. Ham obeyed, with the instant
instinct of obedience to that tone.
It was not till days later that
Faith wondered why she had spok
en, wondered wi.y she had ven
tured to command, and wondered
why Mr. Ham obeyed., It gave her,
somehow, a sense of power. He
iad obeyed her as he would have
obeyed Noll, her husband.
At that moment, however, hav
ing spoken, she went below. She
went quickly, a little confused.
She found Noll asleep, as Dan'l
had said: she did not wake him.
The Sally got to sea. The island
fell into the sea behind them. Be
fore it was fully gone. Faith, with
the captain's glass, had searched
that 'highest hill from the windows
of the after cabin. She discerned
a little clearing, a rude hut Brau
der's home.
She watched it for a space; then
put the glass aside with thought
ful eyes.

South Planning Giant
Cooperative To Market
Fruits and VegetabL
ATLANTA, Ga., July 2C.-f(A.
P.) A giant new cooperative is in
the making in Dixie. M
The proposed organist Ion,
which would join fruit and vege
table producers of the south, got
its inception at a meeting here of
commissioners of agriculture from
seven states.
The plan will be taken to the
federal farm board in Washington.
The cooperative would revolu
tionize methods of marketing
fruits and vegetables In the south,
w hich in the last decade has added
a rapidly growing output of truck
crops to its large fruit output.
Action of the commissioners was
the first move ever made to form
an organization serving the entire
south for distribution of farm
products, other than cotton and to
bacco, to eliminate competition be
tween states and communities.
Commissioner William A. Gra
ham, of North Carolina, proposed
the cooperative. Harry D. Wilson
of Louisiana, president of the
Southern Association of Commia
sioners of Agriculture, was an en
thusiastic second.
Tlie other commissioners favor
ed the plan unanimously.
Details of the organization will
be worked out by Graham find
Wilson who. with other southern
commissioners and state market
bureau chiefs, will submit the plan
to the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics and the federal farm hoard
in Washington.
Out of the Washington meeting,
Graham and Wilson believe, will
come a strong union that will en
able each state to know at al
times what the other is placing on
the market and govern shipments
to avoid glutted marts and low
prices.
