SOLVING A BIG PROBLEM.
. It has been made plain by the high
cost of living that the consumers of
. the nation have come and are coming
to outnumber the producers; that ag
riculture and its products are not
keeping pace with the demand for
food products and that measures
should be taken to encourage agri
culture In its best sense, 1. e., in the
sense that U provides in return for
Intelligent application of its .princi
ples to the soil, the comforts of home
for the masses and a surplus wherehv
the demand for food products In man
ufacturing and business sections may
be met with a reasonable profit to
the producer, leaving the cosnumer
some chance to save of his earnings
for the traditional rainy day. It is plain
; that a balance must be struck be
tween agricultural, trade and indus
trial means and profits, whereby the
lopsided (conditions of which complaint
continually arises may be corrected,
thus enabling the country to get on
an even keel, remarks the Oregonian.
, Looking to this end, experimental
work in agriculture has been under-
taken la various sections of the Rocky
Mountains and Pacific Northwest that
will not only Increase through ap
plied Intelligence the products of the
soil, but will give hope and cheer to
farmer-folk who are struggling with
adverse conditions. Oregon is to come
In for Its share in this line of effort
Experiment stations will be establish
ed in the near future In each of the
j several sections of the state, aB the
! diversity of soil, moisture and other
i climatic conditions demand. For ex
ample it is proposed to establish a
station in Harney valley where the
problems f dry farming may be
worked out; a station in th$ Wllllam
ette valley where the problems of
Summer Irrigation will receive consid
eration, and one in Southern Oregon
where the climate and other condi
tions as applied to agriculture may
be investigated. . ..
The Willamette Valley has been
Vailed the garden spot of Oregon. A
dry garden spot, covered with shrivel
ed herbag it is in July and August
of each year, as we all know, And we
are coming to know that this is not a
necessary condition, since properly
devised irrigation would keep the
greater part, or at least a large part,
of this area green with a succession
of vegetables and grasses throughout
j together and leading a band-to-motth
existence in our towns and cities,
while all classes and conditions re
crying aloud against the cost of liv
ing, the Increase In which has ex
tended to vegetables, meat, poultry
dairy and orchard products, foodstuffs
and forage crops.
Increased production and revised
transportation schedules would cer
tainly correct these conditions. Ex
periment stations from which know
ledge of conditions that govern pro
duction can be obtained, and an influx
of farmer folk who are sufficiently
persistent, industrious and teachable
to profit bythe results which such
experiments show are the agencies
through which these ends will be, in
due time, realized. The contemplated
step is a long one in the right direc
tion. Supervised by the State Agri
cultural College and aided by the
Federal Department of Agriculture, It
can hardly fall to produce gratifying
results within the next five years.

The disposition of today Is to concen- j
trate; to take away Individual effort'
and put all commerce under super
vision of the different captains of in
dustry. ,
This may be right, but it is a debat
able question, and the bulk of evi
dence is against it If the apple com
bine Is successful and begins to show
signs of success who win . grab It?
Why, Standard Oil of course. It will
pay an enormous sum to get control
of this industry just . as it has . in
hundreds of other industries. It Is an
institution with large money at com
mand and goes upon the theory that
every man and every company has its
price. Thla price Standard Oil is per
fectly willing to pay if It can look in
to the future and see a steady rev
enue for years to come.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,' who has
just passed away; was a great wo
man. Her idea of religion, may not
have appealed to you but think of
what she accomplished In organiza
tion. She was the mother of the
Christian Science teaching and kept
constantly at Its preaching until In
her brief lifetime she saw It grow
Into two hemiapheres ; saw' stately
churches erected in almost every city
and died fully realizing that her
teaching was being practiced ' in
thousands upon thousands of good
American homes.
Even if she was all wrong In her
ideas of the Bible it must be admitted
that there was a mysterious some
thing that bound people clpsely to
her and caused them to stick : ,
Christian Science may not be along
the old lines' of thinkings it may be a
Bpasm only to pass away, and again
It may not be. To Judge such an Im
portant thing is a serious matter, and
especially so when the large number
who have accepted It cling to It with
a tenacity as great as do members of
any other creed.
It 'Is an admitted fact that Christ
Ian Science can do' no one any harm
In this world. In fact some of the mod
el lives' today are led by those who
followed Mary Baker Eddy. Whether
model lives have any thing to do with
the splrtual being In question for the
ministers to decide, but In this world
Christian Science has done much for
It has taught its believers to learn
and to govern themselves.
. The world lost one of Its most prom
inent and Influential women when
Mrs. Eddy died.

According to men who have lived
n this valley ior many years ana
who are not only familiar with the
crops, but also with the men who
raise them, another advance In wheat
will cause most of the farmers , to
sell the wheat supply that has been
held for several months.
The late Bales which now amount
to over 80,000 bushels brought a price
around seventy cents 'and it has caus
ed tha selling habit to spread. Sev
eral are on the brink of closing good
big deals at the present time and with
a few cents more advance, there Is
little doubt that minds of nearly all
the ranchers in the valley will be In
the same frame and as a result
large tonnage of the cereal will be
placed on the world's market from the

parting from the organization and not

possible once or twice to sell at

being offered, there has also been
long periods when to have sold would
have meant severe sacrifice to De
