FORD COMPANY BOYS OLD
THRESHING OUTFIT
First Threshing Outfit Used in Kel
logg-Elkton Country to Be Pre
served as Relic.
Oakland Tribune: An old 24 inch
threshing machine that had seen nearly
60 years of service in the Kellogg-
Elkton country was brought to Oak
land Saturday by T. E. Higginbotham
of Little Canyon, its latest owner, and
started on a long trip east to the in
dustrial museum of the Ford Motor
company at Detroit, Michigan. There
it will be carefully preserved as a
relic of early farming days in this
section. The Ford company paid $400
for the machine delivered in Oakland.
The machine, which is said to have
been known as the old John Freyer
machine, was manufactured iu Buffalo,
N. Y., by the Hitts factory and was
shipped around the Horn to Trad well
& Co., at Hun Francisco iu 1865. It is
said to have been purchased from them
the same year by Freyer and Heddon
and to have been brought up by boat
to Seottsburg. It had several owners
during its stay iu the Elkton neighbor
hood and it had a worthy record of
usefulness that was widely known.
Practically all the older residents of
that section have worked with it at
some time or other.
In latet; years the introduction of
newer and larger machines rather dim
med the glory of this pioneer until it
gradually fell into disuse. The lowest
ebb of its existence came a few years
ago when Mr. Higginbotham bought it
at an auction sale for $5.00. After
making some repairs he found that
the machine would still do good work
so it has been used regularly since.
Pioneer settlers who knew the ma
chine in its early days will be glad
to know that instead of going ignomin
iously to the scrap heap as junk it
will be given a place of honor among
the nation's keepsakes in keeping with
its long and honorable service.

STEWART APPOINTED
FEDERAL INSPECTOR
Lane county shippers of fruit aud
vegetables are to eujoy a privilege
they have long sought— inspection of
produce at the shippiug point. At a
meeting with representatives of the
federal bureau of markets iu Salem
Saturday C. E. Stewart, county fruit
inspector, was designated a federal in
spector. Mr. Stewart has for years in
spected incoming fruits, vegetables and
plants for disease uiider state super
vision He is uow to inspect outgoing
shipments. The new provision for in
spection under the supervision of the
federal bureau of markets at the ship
ping poiut enables a shipper to get a
certificate for his shipuieut that it is
up to a certain grade.
After this
grade is established it eau uot be dis
puted except in the courts. Fruit ship
pers have experienced the difficulty
of shipping contracted t’ruit east ou a
falling market aud when it arrived to
keep from paying the contracted price
the buyer declared it was below grade.
Under the federal system the buyer
will be compelled to take it at the
inspected grade.
The system is iu use iu California
and Iowa where it has worked well.
Recently it was established iu Wash
ington. It was established iu Oregon
when an agreement was reached be
tween the state and federal govern
ment. While inspection at the ship
ping point is optional with the shipper
it is believed that practically all ship
pers o f produce will be anxious to
establish a grade on it before it is
sent to the buyer. Especially will the
new arrangements be welcomed by the
ri|>e and green fruit shippers.
Young folks are too quick to criti
cize the way of older people— and older
people are sometimes too slow to give
younger ones a chance to see if their
ideas amount to anything.
The wautads make very interesting
reading.
