Sure Rise Baking Powder
Crescent double acting Baking
Powder affords double the assur
ance against baking failure that
single acting baking powders do.
Double acting signifies that there
are two instead of the usual one
gas liberating ingredient. When
one expends itself the second as
sumes the bii'den. But both are
used in the process of baking.
In single acting

AMONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in

fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
aturally wish to keep in close touch with ag
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state.
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of our regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper

This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the fanning activities and interests of
Oregon. It has a big organization gath
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, Kt ockrai.se rs and
pouitrymen; and it has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that our readers will congratulate us on our
being able to make this splendid and at
tractive dubbin? offer.

MAVHKI.D PLANTS A AKIKN
(By Albert Schreder)
M. S. Mayfleld, a well known
farmer who lives on the Crooked
River between Plinevlllo and Rob
erts, believes, as do a groat many
other sensible people In Crook
County, that wo can ull of us con
tribute a very active purt in assist
ing the nation in the present crisis.
Those who are not needed or can
not go to the front ran assist in
ways that are jUHt as essential.
Ho is planting a two-acre garden
and also a couple of acres of pota
toes. It Is his Intention to keep a
man in there all summer If neces
sary. Though he Is In the district
through which a great deal of al
falfa was winter-killed lunt winter,
he Is cheerfully replanting it and
has to date about forty acres re
sown. When called upon he was busy
making a surface packer to pack
his alfalfa. We often hear of Ore
gon farmers and Orcgonians gener
ally Bpoken of as moss-backs, but
any cursory survey will show that
they are second to none when It
comes to a desire to farm in an up-to-date
and scientific manner; also
the tables generally are stocked
with good farm papers.
Mr. Mayfleld now has about two
hundred eighty-five acres under the
ditch which is In crop.
THK RANCH OX TOP OK THE
HILL
(By Albert Schreder)
One cannot help but notice, when
the first rush for land occurs in a
country, that 'the land on the flat Is
usually settled first. The choice
spots on the hillsides are nearly al
ways taken after a great deall of
much poorer ground on the flat has
been filed on.
A notable exception to this Is the
home of Clarence E. Ferguson,
whoBe place on top of the hill by
Granville Nye's, cannot help but at
tract attention to the passer-by be
cause of the very successful results
obtained.
The grain has as pretty a stand
as any that is visible fromthe road
near the Crooked River, That
which was planted last fall is now
up In good shape.
Spring sown oats and wheat are
also making a good start.
This year seven and a half acres
of Marcus wheat Is being tried out.
This Ib a small round grain that Is
very firm and can be matured In a
short season.
It Is Mr. Ferguson's Intention to
gradually build up an orchard as
the few trees that he already has
set out are doing well.
As one watches the effects of the
frost in different localities, the fact
is driven home that It strikes the
hillsides and hilltops much less vio
lently than it does the flats. It is
not surprising then that this place is
not much bothered with frost.
His potatoes are planted on the
highest part of the hill and a half
acre of hardy vegetables are grown
In the garden each year.
Eight years ago this place was
nothing but sage brush. Today,
even, though doing a great deal of
other work, a very pretty hundred
and sixty acre ranch gives proof of
Mr. Ferguson's Industry.

ItAIHIXG SHEEP AT ROBKUTS
Iteurdless Rye Also Being Experi
mented With
(By Albert Schreder)
Five hundred acres in cultivation
on the J. E. Roberts place, and de
spite the fact that his son has Joined
the "boys at the front", two hun
dred and fifty acres of this in crop
attests to his zeal.
A fair estimate of what can be
expected from this place can be
gained when one knows that lust
year his wheat ran frra twenty-five
to thirty bushels to the acre, oats
and speltz about fifty bushels, rye
thirteen bushels, and hay one and a
half tons without irrigation.
Mr. Roberts has been trying the
raising ' of small bands of sheep
WOMEN'S NERVES
Women, more than men, have excitable nerves, because
tiring work and physical strain tax their more delicate
nervous systems and bring premature age and chronic
weakness unless treated intelligently.
Drug laden pills and alcoholic concoctions cannot build up a
woman's strength, tut the concentrate. J medicinal food properties in
1(003 SI
build strength from its very source and are helping thousands
:6 of women to gain control of their nerve power overcome
' tiredness, nervousness, impatience and irritability.
SCOTFS is a liquid-food free from alcohol.
Sdl a Ho
along with his cows uml siiys that
his experience Is Hint cows and
sheep can go together and both be
a success.
In talking of this Mr. Roberts
states: "My Ides Is lliul sinew the
range Is gone the fanners will have
to turn to diversified stock raising,
which in turn requires diversified
funning.
"While there Is good money In
rattle, and good money In hogs, one '
doubles up when he runs sheep for
h gets the two crops, the meat
plus the wool."
Ho has been trying different
crosses In nn elTort to produce 1
sheep that Is a good meat producer;
and also' a heavy wool producer of
the coarse wool, and reports his
best success with Delaine ewes and
Delulne-Cotswell-Llncoln ram. i
Mr. Roberts Insists tliut sheep '
help the farmer by their preference
of weeds to grass for forage, and I
he has tried mowing green weeds
and found thut they also prefer this
to grass hay In the winter,
Benjamin K. Boydsmi, also of
Roberts, has been experimenting
with dry land alfalfa. He planted
a small strip of dry land alfalfa on
his land and without irrigation of
any kind it grew to be two feet tall
during the second year.
He is also trying out his land for
onion production, planting about
three-fourths of an acre to onions.
