14 ttttt rrmx"rvrj OT?"RCJOXIAN, MONDAY, " NOVEMBER 8, 1920 NOTED INSURANCE SALESMAN VISITOR President of Vancouver, B. k. C, Club in Portland. LIVESTOCK IS HIS HOBBY J. T. Watkinson Aids in Forming Iiocal Chapter of One Ilun drcd Per Cent Club. ' J. T. Wilkinson of Vancouver. B. C.. has the reputation of being one of the greatest insurance salesmen in the world and has managed several times to dispose of nearly half a million dollars' worth of life protection In one year. He was president of the $200,000 club of one of the great American companies for a term and is recognized as one of the most efficient salesmen in his line today. Wilkin son was at the Multnomah hotel yes terday, having come down from Can ada to assist in the formation of the 100 Per Cent club here. In Vancouver Wilkinson Is known as "Wings," a sobriquet he acquired when on the staff of the Vancouver World, for Wilkinson has been farm er boy, school teacher, raiser of blooded stock, journalist and sales man in his varied career. While on the World he did a dally column called "On the Wings of the World Jlan" that attracted wide attention. Orate like Hryn. "Wings" Wilkinson is an orator of the William J. Bryan type, with deep feeling voice and plenty of pathos. He has made a great success of nearly every line he has tackled, but one of the bitterest defeats he ever sustained was at the hands of William J. Ladd in 1904, when the Portland livestock breeder cleaned up a complete set of prizes at a Canadian Southdown exhi bition. At one Canadian fair he told of winning prizes for penmanship and plowing on the same day. Wilkinson had made a specialty or Southdowns and had managed to make a sweep of most of the awards in the dominion when he showed his sheep. The Ladd defeat rankled and when the Lewis and Clark exposition opened here "Wings" was on hand with the best of his flock and deter mined to wipe out the sting of. his defeat, if possible. He traveled in the cars with his pets and lived right In the pens with them at the exposi tion ground, clipped, groomed and fed them so that they would be in first class condition for the showing and managed to take 12 out of the 15 awards offered, getting his revenge. Head of Club. Wilkinson is president of the Van couver 100 Per Cent club and brought a stirring message of appreciation to Portland from that city, especially for the reason of the exceptional treat ment that visitors from the north state they received when they at tended the last Rose Festival, and from all that could be gathered Port land is assured of a hearty co-operation from the Canadians at-all future Rose Festivals. That the imaginary boundry line exists merely as a fig ment of the mind and that the same kind of people live on both sides was one of the things that Wilkinson said Canadians were beginning to realize and he urged that we here strive to promote good feeling between the two cities as much as possible. "I just returned from a trip to Scotland," said Wilkinson before he Dldl ICU 1119 1GIU111 juuj us jvotviuni "an. than r n tint fonl anv t fin V i n fl ! there to "Pussyfoot" Johnson, who is in their midst right now waging one of his prohibition campaigns.

FEED DECLARED NEED Trials Show Production or Forage Volume Needed for Range Stock. Is Possible. A great impetus In the livestock growing industry of certain sections of eastern Oregon and particularly Harney county is expected to result from experiments conducted at the Harney county experiment station which show the possibilities of grow ing grain and forage crops in that section. The great need there is' declared to be grain and forage volume sufficient to feed approximately all the' live stock that can be grazed on the sum mer ranges, to which there is access. This the experiments have shown to be possible, provided a proper selec tion of grains and forage crops is made and proper irrigation methods used. Spring; Crops Beat. Best results were secured. at the experiment station from crops of spring wheat, spring oats', spring rye, spring barley, field peas, sunflowers and alfalfa. Sunflowers, the newly developed silage crop for certain Ore gon conditions, gave yields ranging from 27.6 to 54.7 tons per acre. The highest yield was obtained from' a spacing of two inches for the rows and a distance of 6 inches between plants. Better than 50 bushels of wheat per acre was the average of 15 spring varieties grown under irrigation on the "sage-brush" lands of central Oregon in tests conducted by Obil Shattuck, superintendent of the Har ney county experiment station, on the station farm in the reason of . 1920. Six varieties beat 60 bushels per acre, three' jumped to 65, and the best Federation C. L, 4734 made the re markable yield of 84.7 bushels. The average of five plots of this variety was 80.2 . Results Fair Index. ' "These lands are fairly representa tive of large areas in Harney county," Bays James T. Jardine, director of the college experiment station. "On the whole the results are a fair index of the productive power of the sage brush lands of central Oregon under proper irrigation." Elevation of the Harney valley is given as 4000 to 4300 by Mr. Shattuck. The growing season is short, rain fall light, and the entire area more or less subject to spring frosts. "The frost damage on the irrigated lands is rather slight," says Mr. Shat tuck, "and the foregoing and follow ing yields indicate that on lands un der irrigation frost is not the limit ing factor." . Nine varieties of spring oats grown in variety tests at the station yield ed averages ranging from 81.3 to 127.3 bushels per acre. Four varieties ex ceeded 100 bushels per acre, while the ' best Rustless Selection pro duced 130. Six plots of Nebraska No. 21 averaged 105.5 bushels. ,. The oats received 11 inches of wa ter for the season. Spring ryer-a strain of S. P. I.1 yielded 38.9 bushels of grain and 3682 pounds of straw on the one acre planted to this cereal. It was seeded May 12 at the rate of 114 pounds per acre, and watered at the rate of 14 acre inches. . Barley Does Well. Eight varieties of spring barley seeded May 3 at the rate of 60 quarts per acre and receiving approximately nine inches of water, produced from 51.3 to 81.3 bushels per acre. Hann chen and Trebi proved the top yleld ers in the seeding tests, giving re turns of 105 bushels each. From four to seven tons of alfalfa per acre were harvested with four varieties, which received about 18 acre inches of water. Field peas, grown ' with 15 acre inches of water yielded from 10.1 to 13.4 tons per acre when cut at the silage ' stage. The average for the five plots was 11.8 tons. "These plants made a very vigorous growth," declared Mr Shattuck, "some of the vines reaching seven feet in length. The roots were liberally covered with nodules, thus adding an appreciable amount of atmospheric nitrogen to the soil." FARMERS WILL CO-OPERATE National Wholesale Buying Asso ciation Is Planned.

That it pays for boys to etay on the farm, if tf ey take up farming on a business basis, is being proved by "Jimmie" Watson, 16-year-old son of Rollie W. Watson, secretary-treasurer of the Tillamook County Hol stein Breeders' association. Jimmie owns a pure-bred Holstein cow, "Canary Fobes May De Kol," which he raised from a calf, and last year produced 18,362 pounds of milk. Jimmie sold this milk to the neigh boring cheese factory for $480, and disposed of "Canary's calf for an other $100. He Is also a partner in the milk production of three pure-bred cows owned by his father, and all last year milked these three animals, whose yield totaled more than $1100 in re ceipts. Jimmie has milked cows for the past three years. He gets up at 5 A. M-, milks and takes the milk to the factory, takes care of his thriving herd of pigs and does the "chores" morning and night. He Is a strong, husky lad and is in high school, where he takes part in all class activities and stands well in .his studies. He is also an excellent musician and play the piano in the Tillamook Boys' or chestra. Some day he expects to have a large herd of pure-bred Hol steins, for which he is now laying the foundation. With his father he is coming to the Pacific International Livestock exposition next week, and expects to carry off a number of blue ribbons with the prize-winning i-i-bibits from the Watson farm. 8 COUNTIES STUDY BUREAU PFirst Meeting of Week Will Be at Grants Pass Tonight.

CHEHALIS HAS NO FLIES City Believes Passing of I4very Stable' Is Responsible. CHEHALIS. Wash., Nov. 7. (Spe cial.) The almost entire absence of flies in Chehalis this fall has ' occa sioned much comment. It is but a few years since that when the chilly days of the fall season arrived, the house fly, driven from its outside habitat, would make for the homes where shelter under a warm roof made it a nuisance. The "fact that the auto truck has replaced the dray team and that liv ery stables are almost a thing of the past, is given as the principal rea son for the remarkable changed con dition.
