Trcsldcnt Kerr Seeks Appointment
of Two County Workers at Large
to I'urther Task of Incrcas-.
lng Grain Crops.
T an effort to stimulate interest and
to organize, it possible, county agent
systems in Clackamas ana Marion
counties, W. K. Newell, assistant to V.
B. Ayer, Federal food representative
for Oregon, and President Kerr, of the
Oregon Agricultural College, will meet
today with, the County Court and Com
missioner's of the counties named.
The first meeting will be with the
Clackamas County Court and Commis
sioners at Oregon City, after which the
other will be held at Salem. These
counties are considered as of great Im
portance in the grain . crop . situation
from a. food standpoint, and Mr. Ayer
and his staff are very anxious . that
activities shall begin there immediately.
A Federal appropriation has been
et aside for Oregon, to be used Jointly
with counties in the work of promot
ing the asked-for increase in the wheat
and rye yield of the state, and this Is
to be used to stimulate Interest in the
counties in question.
A feature of the appropriation meas
ure is that the fund shall not be used
In counties until such time as the
county has placed an agent in the
field or appropriated the funds there
for. However, as the budgets of coun
ties for 1917 had been fixed Ions, before
this fund was voted by Congress, ar
rangements have been made whereby,
upon promise of County Courts and
Commissioners that they will comply
with this, money may be utilized im
mediately and the work thereby be
rushed along, as time Is an important
element.
County agents are working hard on
their portion of the grain-increase fea
ture and are organizing in their coun
ties associations of experts who, in
turn, will get into touch with the
farmers and encourage them to meet
the state"s needs in the way of sowing
Fall wheat and rye. Indications are
favorable now for complete success, but
there is a vast amount of detail work
to be done and a shortage of agents
to handle it.
There are not enough county agents
to carry forward the work in all coun
ties in the state and President Kerr last
week telegraphed the Secretary of Ag
riculture, asking him to make possible
the employment of two men to act in
this capacity at large, to travel through
the uncared-for counties and see that
the work is carried on. Thus far he
has received no reply, but is hopeful
that it will tie done.
IDAHO BIKER ON VISIT
B. A. AMIERSOX, CHA-VGEVIUE, TO
MOVE TO PORTLAND.
V bmlgroTirni Interested In Having
Discrimination 'Against rvortta-
- west Removed, Is Report.
S. AylAnderson. president of the State
Bank, of Portland, and also cashier
and managing head of the First Na
tional Bank, of Grangeville, Idaho, ar
rived in Portland yesterday for a pre
liminary visit prior to bringing his
family to Portland to reside. Mr. An
derson expects to relinquish his Idaho
active interests about the first of the
year and move to Portland.
"There will bo 60 to 70 per cent of
a full Ci-op in our district in Idaho."
eaid Mr. Anderson. "The Fall grain
is turning out better than we expected
it, but the Spring crop, of course, is
short. There has been little trouble
from lack of labor. The farmers have
adopted a co-operative plan of thresh
ing this year, which solved tho labor
shortage problem in a way.'
Mr. Anderson said the farmers were
particularly interested in . having the
Government wheat prices adjusted so
that there would be no discrimination
against Northwest growers. The farm
ers, he said, have been in good finan
cial condition and have required much
less money to harvest their crops this
year than several years ago.
Mr. Anderson said yesterday that as
was established in Portland the State
JianK would arrange to use tho sys
tem, as all other state banks, he said
would in due time.
SCENIC DRIVE IS ISSUE
Chamber Wants Terwllligcr Boule-
j vard Opened to Heavy Traffic.
The opening of the Terwllliger boule
vard for commercial use is to be recom
mended by the Chamber of Commerce,
until such time as the city can pro
vide for tho farm districts of Wash
ington County and other sections an
other adequate highway on which to
bring produce into the Portland mar
Itcts. The -board of directors adopted
such recommendation at their meeting
yesterday and will present it to the
City Commission at once.
The grange representatives appealed
to the Chamber to take action on the
matter recently, pointing out that un
til some other road is provided, the
only ingress into the city from a large
section must he over the boulevard.

ROAD WORK HELD SLOW
Sheridan' Delegation Trotcsts' to
State Highway Commission.
SHERIDAN. Or., Sept. B. (Special.)
A delegation of Sheridan business
men went to Salem Tuesday to appear
before the State Highway Commission
in a protestation from Sheridan resi
dents against the slow work being
done on the stato highway paving
out o. Sheridan, on Ike, PortUnd-TUla.-
mook Highway. It Is alleged that the
work has prevented the trade of a
rich territory coming to Sheridan and
has iilated the town from the busi
ness that rightfully comes to it from
the east side of the valley.
It Is feared -that the Fall rain
threatening will hold up the work and
further isolate the twn for the AVin
tr, since the road under tho present
circumstances is impassable.
It is estimated hy the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce that 1 . -600.000
automobiles were manufactured
