Harrisburg, April 4.—A story of
bright new potatoes, ready for the
table the last of March, comes
from Mrs. Mary A. Douglas.
The potatoes, it seems, were not
expected, as they sprung up in
her flower garden, but she let
them grow, and is now reaping the
harvest.
The potatoes, however, were not
planted in the garden, and eould
not have come from any last year’s
crop, for no last year’s crop was
there. There is but one explana­
tion, that ground moles carried the
belated tubers last year from the
main patch some distance away and
stored their in their tunnels for
winter feeding. Some of them,
according to the theory, were not
consumed and the early potato
crop resulted.
Encouragement was given sheep
and goat raisers at a meeting hehl
yesterday afternoon at the Alex
Spare place on old south Pacific
highway.
H. A. Lindgren, livestock special­
ist of the extension division of
Oregon Agricultural college, said
that there is no more open range
that can be secured for running
sheep, that there are fewer sheep
than 10 years ago, while the de­
mand for wool and mutton is con­
stantly increasing. He expressed the
belief that sheep men can look
forward to good prices for their
products.
Ho did not advocate
the sheep and goat business as a
get-rich-quick proposition but as
one upon which there will be fair
