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.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC WILL
GRADUATE TWO JUNE 13
Ruth Davis and Jessie Farris Are
First to Get Diplomas in Music
Since 1911.
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. Send full
details, references, your home city,
etc., in first letter.
