SAYS VALLEY SHOULD PRODUCE BUTTER, E6GS Professor Thos. Shaw Tells Students That Willamette Valley Should Raise Hogs and Cattle. Declaring that fanners in the Will amette valley can produce butter 50 per cent cheaper than can be made in New England, and that a pound of pork can be raised for the market for less than it can be raised in the corn reprions of the middle west, Professor Thomas Shaw, agricultural expert of the Hill railroad system, told the Uni versity^' tudents Thursday that Will amette valley farmers are growing the wrong kinds of crops. The Willamette valley, he said, is the one place in the United States where sheep can be grown to equal those of England. But instead of raising sheep, pork and dairy cattle, the farms of this district, he said, are raising hay, which can not be cut, of ten, because of rain. He advocated the cause of dry farm ing; declaring that the prreat barren areas of eastern Oregon can by this system be farmable, and, that, with dry farming as is now being practiced in Montana, 300,000,000 acres in 14 states that are now barren may be made to raise enormous quantities of wheat. By dry farming, he declared, Montana has increased its wheat crop from 250 carloads to 20,000 carloads. Unless this land is pressed into this use, the United States has reached its limit in wheat production, he said. The growing of sweet clover and rape he advocated as profitable crops for Oregon, in the production of sheep, hogs and oattle. DOIilE TO LEAD GLEE CLUB AGGREGATION NEXT SEASON Walter Dobie, of Portland, was chosen president of the University Glee Club for next year at the elec tion held last Thursday afternoon.

Del Stannard and Ray Giles were unanimously chosen to the offices of vice-president and secretary respec tively. No definite plans have been decid ed upon as yet for next season. A director will probably be selected by President Dobie and Graduate-Man ager Geary, with whom the choice lies, during the summer.

On Friday evening, June 13, the graduation program of the School of J Music will be held in Villard Hall. The two who have successfully com pleted the requirements for the de gree are Miss Ruth Davis and Miss Jessie Farris, both students in the piano department. The number of graduates from the music department of the University has been small in recent years, a period of several years having elapsed, during which no di plomas have been issued, that grant ed to Miss Prosser in 1911, being the last. Both Miss Farris and Miss Davis have studied with Miss Mary L. Mor gan, and during the past winter, with Mr. Carl V. Lachmund, head of the Music School. Their program will be varied and most interesting. Two original songs, composed by Miss Da vis, will be sung by Miss Prosser, who will also assist with other songs. REFERENDUM PETITIONS FILED (Continued from first pars.) $304 a year for each student at the University. “The object of the league is to stop all expenditures for building improve ments until the voters pass on the question of consolidating the Univer sity and Agricultural Colleges. Accuse Eugene Legislators. “Many citizens contend that the University is not properly located and that some citizens and legislators of Eugene use their influence against good laws and in favor of vicious ones in order to secure a big bunch of the taxpayers’ money. This evil is great and growing. The league may meet this by presenting in the consolidation measure a section prohibiting the leg islature from making any appropria tion for the college, University or nor mal school, leaving the question en tirely with the voters. “The constructive initiative meas ure is now being prepared. The real friends of higher education are de termined to take the three schools out of cheap logrolling politics and put them upon a higher plane where the student will actually secure full value for each dollar expended without ref erence to the selfish interests of those in favored locations.” Test Day Law. Certain it is now that the constitu tionality of the Day law will be tested and if Attorney General Crawford’s construction of the law is correct, the court will declare it unconstitutional. An arrangement was made to test the bill this evening when Secretary of State Olcott rejected the petitions asking that the dentistry bill be re ferred. Those back of this movement will bring mandamus proceedings to compel the secretary to file the peti tions and in defending the secretary. Attorney General Crawford will con tend that the Pay bill is unconstitu tional. He gave it as his opinion that the bill is unconstitutional and that the courts will so hold. Jane Knox, ’12, who has been teach ing at Oak Point, is a guest at the Theta house. Wanted Two or three young men or women to sell tours to the San Francisco Ex position in 1915. These tours include all. necessities of the trip and are safe, economical and exceedingly sa tisfactory. They permit one to begin now and pay a few dollars a month, securing in time for the exposition a fully paid up trip at less money than if one pays when he goes. Liberal commissions will be paid to energetic, honest representatives. We want men or women who will work, preferably those who require funds for the next school year.
