Potatoes Subject of
Farm Bureau Meeting
i
SANDY, March 18. The local
Farm Bureau meeting was a live one
yesterday. Ed. Hart presided and the
new secretary, Walter Krebs, was at
his post of duty. The "lowly spud"
came into much prominence and it's
Tirtues were exalted by County Agent
Holt, and it's diseases named right out
in public as "black legj" "ulcers,"
"Fusarian wilt," etc. Mr. Holt got
right down to business and told what
is the matter with the "sick" potato
market, and his words bore fruit then
and there, for Willard Bosholm was
made head of a spud department for
the Sandy local, and a meeting was
set for demonstration at the Bosholm
cellar on Monday, April 10 at 1:30 p!
m. Holt promising to be present.
One of the biggest reasons for the
weak market Holt gave is the fact
that growers in this section have too
many varieties. Plant only one or two
k;nds, preferably the Burbank and it's
offspring this year. Car lots of uni
formly selected stuff of one variety,
put up in new bags, will" demand the
highest prices. This county should
not raise over two varieties. Vancou
ver shipped over 90 Burbanks last
fall, and the survey for next fall shows
the same demand.
And seed-cutting was shown. Holt
says each seed should weight 1 or
2 oz., and thinks rotation in planting
must be observed, and that a standard
variety will never run out if cared for
right. Every farmer or gaden maker in
this section ought to go to Bosholm s'
ApM 10 and learn about the Spud.
Bosholm is also the "squirrel poism
man" and Hclt brought out a quantity
to be handled through the bureau.
The Sandy local decided to outline a
definite plan to work on at the next
meeting, Friday evening, April 21.
Last Rites Held
For Miss Thomas
SANDY, March 20. The largest
funeral ever held in Sandy was that
of Miss Lillian Emma Thomas, 19
year old daughter of Mr .and Mrs. J.

home from Portland the next week,
and passed t away with .pneumonia
March 16.
The last rites were conducted by
Rev. S. F. Pitts, minister of the com
munity church at Cottrell. The music
was furnished by the Sandy quartet
and Mrs. Kate Junker Schmitz, the
latter singing a solo, "The Lord Knows
Why-." The great number of beautiful
floral pieces, bouquets and potted
plants spoke of the esteem in which
the young lady was held, and her sud
den passing cast a gloom over this en
tire section.
The deceased was born July 1, 1902
at the same home where she passed
away March 16. 1922. She went
through the Bull Run public school
then took up a commercial course in

1920, and the following July took a po
sition with the Chas. Delfel Co. of
Portland and was a trusted employe

er, Mrs. Lena McGugin, Miss Thomas
leaves a sister, Mrs. Lena Bickford. of
Toledo, Wash., a brother, George H.
Thoma and her fiance, Edward Pruka,
of Portland, and a large number of
other relatives, and friends. The In
terment was in the Cliffside cemetery

Pest Eradication
Theme of Address
SANDY, March 20- W. H. Speers
of the U. S. biological survey office of
Portland spoke to the high school here
on how to eradicate farm pests, which
talk was much appreciated. Mr.
Speers said there are 17 varieties of
rodents native to this locailty, and
they will come out in great numbers
about April 1, but can be killed with
the generous use of poisoned barley.
The little Townsend mole that infests
the country round - Sandy lives on
beetles and bugs, but make tunnels
in the ground to a depth of 5 ft. and
100 ft. in length,and these tunnels
furnish highways for rats and mice,
and it is they that eat off the roots of
fruit trees, vegetables, etc., instead of
the moles, as often suspected.
Methods of trapping were shown.
A mound is a permanent highway,
therefore a good place to set a trap.
The commercial value of mole-skins
was mentioned. American ladies us
ed $5,000,000 worth of imported mole
pelts last year, and our own- skins are?
superior. .
Rodents increase rapidly. A pair of
rats and their increase amount to 180
rats in a year. Mr. Speers said to
send for phamphlets on rodent con
trol to .New P. O- Building, Portland,
Room 151. He works in connection
with County Agent Holt.

"The most Important project for
years to come is the building of a
union high school, for . this section,"
says a man who has no children to
educate, nor any personal reasons for
adveating scool measures. To fail to
provide proper schooling, is to drive
our young people away, and why pay
more to other counties than it will
cost to build up our own schools?"
Adolph Aschoff who has lived ,at
Marmot for 39 years receives letters

world. Recently a letter came from a

county who were to receive their
eighth grade diplomas, took part in
the exercises. The plan was so suc
cessful that it has been decided to re
peats this year.
The eighth grade state examina
tions come on May 11 and 12. As It
requires about three weeks to correct
the papers, the commencement can
not be held until some-three or four
weeks later. Last year more than 400
students received their diplomas at
the park exercises. The total num
ber of eighth grade graduates were
682. a number which is not expected
to be exceeded this,Tear, ,.. j
NEW LIVE WIRE
BODY NAMED FOR
SOUTH END ROAD
Committee to Replace One
Recently Discharged Is
Instructed to Survey All
Prior Efforts On Problem.
HIGHWAY MEETING
WILL BE ATTENDED
Definite Program Will Follow
Action of Commission ; Tax
Discussion I s Postponed.
A survey of the accomplishments
of all committees and organizations
which have had any part in further
ing the South End Road project is to
be made by the new Live Wire com
mittee, composed of O. D. Eby, L. A.
Henderson and Linn Jones, , which
was appointed Tuesday noon to carry
on the work of securing the outlet to
the Pacific highway here. The com
mittee, named by the new Live Wire
Main Trunk, E. L. Pope, takes the
place of the former body which was
recently discharged. So many bodies
have had a hand in the attempted ar
rangement of the South End road pro
ject that the Wires, by resolution, in
structed the new committee to re
view the entire situation before fur
ther attempts toward solution are
made.
The committee was also instructed
to attend the session of the Highway
Commission which on March 23 will
take up the matter of the Pacific
Highway outlet here. The commis
sion recently served notice upon this
city and the county that drastic ac
tion would follow the. failure of the
local administration to make some
provision for the road which is the
only outlet on the highway to the
south.
Because of the lack of funds on the
part of both the city and county, ne
gotiations have been more than the
securing of appropriations. When it
is definitely determined what the
highway commission will do in the'
event that no provision for the im
provement is made here, the plan to
be followed by the committees will
be outlined.
The Wires also decided to provide
an assessment of 25 cents a month on
all members of the organization for
defraying special expenses, and pro
viding a fund for the entertainment
of official guests of the organization.
The taxation meeting, which was to
be held on the 28th of this month was
postponed for a week in order to
clear the date for the Clackamas
County Business Men's Association
banquet which is to be held next
Tuesday night. An invitation to the
Live Wires was extended by Al Price.
Sam H. Clay, manager of the Com
mercial club drive which is to open
next week, spoke upon the work of
the organization and outlined the
plan for the drive and the activities
which would follow. He lauded the
interest which is being shown thru
out the. entire community in the pre
paratory work.

UNEMPLOYED FEW, SAYS
LOCAL LEGION OFFICIAL
There are no ex-service men in Ore
gon City who are unemployed accord
ing to Julius Spagle, secretary of the
local post of the American Legion.
Monday was the day set aside by the
American Legion for a concentrated
"effort thruout the country to find em
Tliwment for all the lobless veterans.
The drive as planned by the legion
was to include every city and town,
and all organizations, prominent bus-.
iness men and employers were to be
asked to assist In the attempt to find
jobs for the 700,00 ex-soldiers who are
at present out of work.
The slogan adopted by the legion
for the drive was "Every community
will care for its own if you want a
job, go home and the home-folksjwill
care for you."
Oregon City's task was an easy one
as Mr. Spagle states that all the vet- -erans
of this district have been ade
quately taken care of, consequently
the necessity for an intense campaign
did not exist.
The secretary of the local post says
that he has received a number of '
blank forms which are to be filled
out by veterans who possess any
claim against the government. Fur
ther particulars can be obtained by .
applying to the secretary, at the ouar
ters of the local branch of the legion.-.
