ARGENTINE STATE IN HANDS
OK A FEDERAL RECEIVER
Buenos I Aires, Dec. 23. (United
Press by Mail) The Argentine stata
of Entre Ries, today is in the hands
of a receiver, whose duty is not to
wind- up the province's affairs, but to
straighten them out.
The Entre Ries receiver, or inter
ventor, is Dr. Joaquin S. de Anchore
na. The provincial governor is Dr.
Niguel Laurenceria. Dr. Laurencena
U a radical, like national President
Irigoyon. The Entre Ries legislature
u due to elect two senators to send
to the federal upper house in Buenos
Aires. On joint ballot the legislature
is radical by a majority of two votes.
Therefore the two senators presum
ably will be radicals.
The conservative members of the
legislature do not want this to hap
pen. Consequently they stay away
from the sessions and Governor I-au-rencena
cannot get a quorum.
After repeated attempts to over
come this difficulty the governor ap
pealed to the president. The president
placed the situation in the hands of
Dr. de Anchorena as receiver, or inter
ventor. Federal intervention in the pro
vinces is not unusual in Argentina.
When President Irigoyea went into
office, as a radical, there were many
predictions that he would radicalize
all the conservative states s by means
of intervention. '
This was the way in which it was
prophesied President Irigoyen would
do it, but there 'has been only the one
care so far.
Great Results
Corvallis, January. 9 (Special)
D. E. Stephens, superintendent of
the Dry Farming Branch Experiment
Station at Moro, gave one of the most
valuable talks before the grain grow
ers during Farmers' week at O. A. C. in
which he discussed the solution of
soil management problems of the dry
farmer as worked out at the Branch
station Sherman country.
The soil tillage and rotation trials
started in 1910 by Prof. Scudder and
Supt. Umberger and carried out by
Mr. Stephens, are just beginning to
give convincing results with yearly
repetition to corroborate their value.
Two practices alone, developed and
established by this work if put into
use throughout the dry farming area
of Oregon, would in a single year
bring enough increase profit to the
Eastern Oregon farmer to pay for aV.
the expenditures ever made for this
station, and in addition for the new
college library, the Experiment Sta
tion Investigational fund requested of
the present legislature and then some.
The common practice throughout
Eastern Oregon is to summer fallow
tho land every other year, plowing it
for this purpose in June. For years
the college authorities have been ad
vising against both of these practicss,
both from the platform ami through
official bulletins (Cir Bulletin No. 2,
No. 8 and Bulletin 119). Results now
at hand establish the correctness of
the advice.
The average yields obtained on the
April plowed land is 29.1 bu. per aero
as compared with 22.1 bu. from June,
plowed land or an average gain of 7
bu. per acre for the early plowing. If
applied to nil Oregon dry farm land .:
which it is adapted (some r.OO.OOO
acres) would mean an annual increase
of many hundreds of thousands of
bushels in the Oregon wheat crop.
A second practice of the many work
ed out at the station is the growing of

HE WHO MOTES
REAL ESTATE
a substitute crop for the costly bare
summer fallow, the field pea, the par
ticular hobby of Prof. Scudder of 0.
A. C. Results now show that whew
wheat follows bare summer fallow
(the common practice) it gives an
'average yield of 24.1 bu. per acre.
Where wheat follows field peas tho
average yield is 23.7 bu. per acre. The
two crops in two years (peas and
wheat) are worth double the one
wheat crop in two years obtained on
the summer fallow plan. In addition
peas restore fertility and permit diver
sified farming introducing livestock
on the dry farm and its attendant ben
efits. If this plan were put in prac
tice throughout the dry farm belt pro
duction would be doubled.
National federl authorities have
stated that the two Branch Experi
ment Stations at Moro and at Burns
are the best in the United States and
that the soil management ttrials (till
age and rotations) are the most exten
sive and thorough ever undertaken on
dry farming lands.
