SPECIAL DRAINAGE HELP STATE EXTENSION SPECIALIST, JN DRAINS PROVIDED BY T EXTENSION SERVICE. Oregon farmers needing the help of a specialist in determing the feas ibility and probable profit in drain ing wet lands now have access to a newer and more economical source of competent' help the new ' state drainage extension specialist. Mr. i George W. Kable has been trans ferred from agricultural agent in Benton county on recommendation of the O. A. C. extension service to fill the new position. He will en deavor to giva help in the most sat isfactory form to farmers in bring Ing their over-watered lands . Into profitable production. . "Mr. - Kable is exceptionally well qhalified by training and experience to conduct this new work,' says Paul V. Maris, extension director in announcing the policy. "He has had six years of training in irriga tion, drainage, soil management and engineering, and a still longer ex periencs in the field, mostly in west ern states and Alaska. Drainage reclamation is considered by many to be the most important agricul tural project in Oregon, and the best man available has been obtained tr assist in rarrying it on." Having served as county agent many yehrs at the seat of the col lege experiment station, Mr. Kable knows the men and methods of soil reclamation, and also the county a- gents and other leading agricultur ists over the state. He is likewise well acquainted with other exten sion specialists and is thus in position to fit quickly into the new work and get down to the business of securing results.

"In fact, the person even made up a little song about us, and this was the song: " 'Sometimes when all . T clothes are worn , " 'And out of style and even torn, ' " 'I listen to the birdies sing. " They don't care If I haven't a thing! M for they sing- Just as aweetly for thoee In old clothes " 'As for those In the latest of laoea and bows!' "Now," said Mr. Song Sparrow, "wasn't that nice?" "That was nice," said Master Song Sparrow. "Yes," said Mr. Sparrow, "I am glad that people realize we don't sing for money. "We don't sing any better for one person than another. We sing for the Joy of singing and becanse we love music and the great world. "We sing because we are happy and because we want to tell others that we are happy. . . We sing too, because we have so much to say which we can say better by singing than any other way. iTeu, too, we sing because we want, to let people know that money "Hello, Mr. Wind." Isn't everything. We haven't any money and yet how we can sing;! "So it Is nice when people see that we sing our very best for everyone, whether, they are -rich or poor. . "Clothes and money don't make any difference with us, but. Joyousness and such things do. . "Still when anyone. Is sad we like to sing for them and 'we like to cheer them up If we can. "Hello, Mr. Wind," the Song Spar row chirped suddenly, "what are you making such a fuss about?"' "I'm singing a song about myself. Would you like to hear It?" "Immensely," chirped Mr. Song Sparrow. "Ever so much," said Mas ter Song Sparrow. So Mr. Wind i sang, and this was his song: The wind ii a wild old follow "And sometimes he's- angry and mad, "And then again he's quiet and sighs "And Is sorry that he has been bad." "Yes," said Mr. Wind, after Jie had stopped singing for a moment, "that la the way I feel. "I have a perfectly gorgeous tline, playing all kinds of pranks, and .then I think I should be quieter and not make such a noise, and I quiet down and behave beautifully. "Then I think of all the pranks I've played and the naughty things I've done, and graelpus. mercy me, how that list does growl "I think of tho hats I've knocked off the heads of people. I've done that again and again. "I' think of the dust I've blown straight through the open windows in the homes of people. 'I think even of the people' I've tried to almost-blow away. I don't do that really, but I make it hard walking for them, at times 1 'Then I think, too, of the many other dreadful things I've done, many of which you have seen me do. 'For you know that .the wind Is cer- tulnly a wild old fellow when he gets mad, ami when the wind gets mad, he gets nianllU eiilly mad !" 'I've never heard It spoken of In that way," snld Mr. Song Sparrow, but then you doubtless have a differ ent way of talking from most of us, as your actions are so different, too. 'Still, I am glad to hour that you're qiitut at time. - Yes, I know yl are, too. Dut It ki pteaNuut to know that you like to be quiet at times, too. "When one sees you blowing, one can't ImiiKlno that you would ever be happy acting quietly, "Well, Wind, we mustn t stay around much longer. It Is getting chilly, you know, quite chilly." "Ooo.lli.ve. Mr. Wind," sulci the Iltrds. Have a k'hkI time and don't blow yourself away." I'll never do that," said Mr. Wind, aughlug.

A farm Implement that Is laid by In bad condition at the end of the sea son Is pretty likely to be found In the snme shape, probably worse, In tho spring, when the time comes for using It again. Unfortunately there's no magic that heals broken parts over winter, repairing the wear, and tear of one season and bringing forth a bright, sound tool ready for Instant work next year. Delays in Repairs Are Costly. Thoughtlessness In the handling, care and repair of farm Implements results annually In the loss to farmers of thousands of dollars and much time at a season when time Is most valu able. The proper time for overhaul ing farm Implements Is during their period of Inactivity and before the .spring rush, when farm work is press ing and delays are costly. If put off until the Implement Is needed, delay Incident to getting repair parts, press of other work, and the hazy recollec tion of the past season's difficulties with the tool or machine may hinder greatly. At the end of the season's work with any machine It Is a plan worth while to make out a schedule of needed re pairs and adjustments for that par ticular machine, and file It In a con venient place, so that when nn op portunity arises the work can he tak en up and done quickly and thorough ly. The machine Itself represents capital Invested. It should be housed properly, and not left In a fence cor ner or other out-of-tha-wajr place for wooden parts to rot and metal parts to rust. Probably no Implement used on the farm receives a greater amount of Implements Should Be Cleaned, Greased and Sheltered From the Weather. abuse or as little attention to Its prop er care, operation and repair than the plow. It is the basic farm Implement, and should not be allowed to remain In out-of-the-way places, subject to the hardships of the weather, but should be housed properly when not In use.
