Sheepherders Don't
Set Forest Fires.
Salem. Or. Sheepherders are
among the most Innocent class
in Oregon so far as setting out
forest fires is concerned, ac
cording to the annual report of
State Forester Elliott. Two tires
in the past year are attributed
to slioepherdors. Other tiros are
classified as follows: Unknown
cause, 130; burning slashings &!);
campers, 40; lightning, 24; incend
iary, 22; hunters, 20; old slush
ings not extingulslred, 18; rail
road engines, 15; smokers, 14;
logging engines, 13; saw mills, 4;
shepherds, 2. Total 807.
Of all the means employed to
prevent fires Korost Klliott do
clures the local patrol association
most effective and cheapest. On
mi area of 954,000 acres within
tho associations, tho cost'per
acre was but 113 cent per acre,
while the lire loss was but GSo,
000 leet stumpiige. Out of N7-1,-000
owned by 112 Individual t'un
br men not in the associations,
tho cost was four cents per aero
and tho loss 8,110,000 feet board
measure.
Under tho Weeks law Oregon
has use of $5000 of national
funds for lire patrol along the
water sheds. A total of 003
wardens was named by the slate
forester during the year. A
widespread understanding of
tho laws is being noticed more
and more each year, uccording
to the report, and better guard
aguinst fires is resulting from
the work of the department.

The Job has been let to tho Utah

can government, arrive! yester
day and wont out to confer with

"The grain sorghums are prov
ing Inceaslngly important as
slock food for dry land areas.
Tho dwarf and early varieties,
such as Dwarf milo, Dwarf Muck-
hull Kuril r, Sudan durra and th
knowliangs which have been
bred and distributed by this de
partment are giving surer yields
under conditions of greater
drouth than were formerly pos

The breeding of hardier and
more drouth-resistant cereals
has been one of the Important
works carried on by tho United
States Department of Agricult
ure, Discussing this topic, the
Secretary says:
"The superiority of many of
the drouth-resistant cereals was
markedly shown In localities
whore drouth was severe. The
Turkey and Kbarkof varieties
of Winter wheats did especially
woll, while Swedish Select oats
and Ghirka Spring wheat show
ed much superiority over less
resistunt varieties. The total
production of the Kharkof wheat
In tho United States must be at
least 10,000,000 bushels. Durum
wheat continued to be the load
ing grain crop in the dry wheat-

and Northwest, whe?b winter va
