Campbell, Farm Adviser for the Southern Pacific Company. Camis bell has lnsitected this season a number of new orchards and vine yards in California, Oregon, Ne vada. Arizona, and New Mexico. Campbell Is the man who evolved what Is now called the “ Campbell System of Dry Farm ing" ('amp- hell, however, objects to the word "dry" and insists that he princi ples used in his present plan apply to all kinds of farming, with or without 1 -¡Ration, as well as under a much lower rainfall than even now Is commonly conceded neces sary for successful crops. Camp bell emphasizes the imi>ortance of proper preparation of the seed-bed and sufficient intelligent cultivation afterwards. Campbell arranged to address the Nebraska Hankers Association at Omaha. September 22 on the sub- Jeet of "Soil Fertility by Utility of Soil W ater," and to discuss the same subject before the Minnesota Bankers' Association at Minneapo lis On his return from these con ventions he will stop at Yuma, Arizona, to investigate conditions there. Interesting evidence of the direct effect of properly prepnred lands was recently received hv Campbell from a Metropolis, Nevada, grain- field prepared under his direction, in the form of three stools of wheat. One stool had 81 stalks, one 103 and one 120, each the reault of one grain of wheat drilled In well prepared soil that was liberally supplied with fertility through well planned and timely work This crop was raised without irrigation, but was pre pared for by summer tillage in 1921 and grown this year. More evidence of what cultiva tion of a growing crop means was sent to Campbell by A. B. Shield of Delano, Kern County, California, In four heads of wheat from a stool grown on Shield ranch. This stool had amide spare and was cultivated while crowing, no fertil izers or Irrigation being used. Tho stool contained forty-four heads averaging 78 grains each or slightly over 3400 grains from one stool. Such results, says Campbell, sim ply mean that under certain phvs- leal conditions brought about by ttie right kind o f tlllaga i l I : t pro|»er time, very much more grain, fruit or vegetables may he grown per acre than Is commonly ob tained. The usual query is “ Does it pay?” to which Campbell replies very emphatically in the affirma tive. A. K.

Eugene Business College JITN EY Announcing Campbell saw here in connection with his general observations shows that the real advantage of careful preparation of the soil be fore setting is sometimes, hut not generally fully considered and appreciated "It is • ery important to first prepare the surface by leveling," says Campbell. "Then arrange for Irrigating in such a manner that water may not only be evenly ap plied over the whole surface but In as short a time as possible. In other words establish an even sur face with reasonably short laterals Too much water In the soil beneath some trees or too little for others is detrimental, usually. Again, the low er places, especially In heavy soils, gather more water, keeping the surface wet longer and frequently delaying timely cultivation, and not Infrequently causing the higher s|K>ts to lose much of its already short supply. When the trees or vines reach the bearing period, the profit is increased or decreased In both quantity and quality of the crop. Both of these results are governed by the amount of fertil ity resulting from soil condition in which the per rent of moisture and air carried therein, especially dur ing the w .rmer weather, is a big factor. The ability t< supply this desired moisture in proi>er quanti ties the entire season through each year, is the first consldi atlon. “ The next question Is the perfect root bed. This should he supplied liberally with available plant food evenly distributed, bo that when the trees or vines are set. there is a condition so favorable that not only the veaker sets may quickly take root and grow vigorously, in stead of withering and dying, but a healthy, uniform growth may be obtained the first year, which means much to the early and an nual fruitage of the trees or vines. "T o ach' ve this result, after lev eling, the field should he cultivated practically an entire season before setting to trees or vines, with only sufficient Irrigation to assist In establishing the Ideal root bed which should be both fine and fair ly firm from the very start. The object Is to continually carry the projier quantity of both air and water through the heated part of the season. Under this condition, with the high percentage of moist ure held at the top of the firm soil, through careful and timely cultlva- flnn, there will lie a liberal develop ment and growth of that most de sirable soil bacter a. This proce dure increases the much needed plant food more evenly in all parts of the field, before setting, than can possibly be developed after setting This gives an advantage not otherwise obtainable. “ Much can be said o f irrigation and cultivation after setting, hut to be brief, care should be taken not to over-lrrlgate, for to obtain the best results, the soil in and about the root zone must be moist but not wet. When the soil Is sat urated there is practically no healthy growth. As rule cultiva tion Is not only Insufficiently fre quent hut too often Is so untimely as to be of little value. "There are certain conditions of moisture in the soil following Irri gallon, the same aa following a rain, when the high value o f culti vation to the final crop Is very much greater. These conditions (In terch an g eab le with F abric Tires o f sam e siz e) must be considered. Nothing cau prove this more convincingly than the soil auger. "It is very desirable, so far as possible, to not only carry the high percentage of moisture at the top of the firm soil, immediately below the mulch, hut also to Induce frea access of air throughout the entire growing season The ideal condi tion to furnish this . ir is to cover the firm soil with a granular mulch, neither too fine nor too coarse. To obtain this ideal mulch, the culti vation must be done when the soil Is moist—not wet or dry. The loosened soil soon dries. leaving the firm soil moist to the top. Tills is usually easy to obtain In sandy soils, but to do this properly in heavy soils it is sometimes neces sary to go over the field a second time, after first going over just enough to loosen the top when the surface Is simply dry enough not to stick. This prevents the crust ing or drying out. Then the second operation should come one to four days later, after the free water has gone down, leaving the soil moist, when It more readily separates, and makes a finer and much more effective mulch. This procedure means much to the tree, as a higher precentage of moisture is held In the root zone and n erupt ing and eloddy mulch is prevented. "The high value of this plan of preparation and one season’s cultl- vatlon before the setting of the trees or vines, is borne out by the Interesting results obtained from careful summer tilling for whent, oats and barley, and the precise ness of time in doing this work Is Just as vital. There are numerous records of large yields of wheat as high as 40 to 60 bushels per aero, grown on correctly summer tilled land, where nearby fields, prepared and sowed under the more com mon plan of ‘any old way,' yielded very poorly or nothing at all.” The Southern Pacific Land De partment "Bulletin No. 10" deals quite explicitly with questions of increased fertility by tillage. Bul letin No. 12 also explains In detail the summer tilling question as ap plied to the coast country. One or both may he obtained without cost by letter or personal applica tion to Hardy W Campbell, 981 Southern Pacific Building, San Francisco. A Bulletin Is now un der way dealing with tillage and irrigation of orchards and vine yards. Campbell's greatest pleasure la to visit a farm or ranch where tho proprietor or manager feels he Is not getting satisfactory returns and work out, as far as possible, a practical remedy.

The final test The real value of a motor lubricant can be determined In only one way— through its use in the engine for which it is intended. Hence this company maintains an engine-testing lab- oratoi/, equipped with a Sprague dynamometer, in which Zerolene and other lubricants are constantly being tested under actual operating conditions. This dynamometer laboratory is in charge of competent tran.»d men, who spend all their time in conducting comparative tests of Zerolene and other lubricants in automobile, airplane, marine, truck and tractor engines. Correfl Lubrication Recommendations On the results of these tests, supplemented by equally careful tests in the field and on the road, our Board of Lubrication Engineers bases its Chart of Recommen dations. Close attantion is given to the design and construction of the engine. It is necessary to know, firmt, the speed of the bearing surfaces; second, clearance between bear ing surfaces; th ird , temperatures at which bearings operate; fourth, pressures exerted in each bearing; fifth, the means provided for the distribution of the oil to each hearing. The recommendations embodied in the Zerolene Chart are calculated with the greatest precision, and if Zero. Jene is used in accordance with them, correct lubrica tion and maximum fuel mileage are assured. » T A N DARD OU tOMTAJft ICalifbm lm i more powerfispeed ~ less friction and wear (V thru Girmi Lubrication in the County Court of Ijtne County, place for hearing any nbjeetiona f t Oregon, his Firmi Account nnil Hint sold report nnd the settlement thereof.
