solving their own problems.
Worlc of Value to Farmers.
The department of agriculture has
just maae known certain results of
Its inquiry along this line in the
Ozark region of Missouri, and east
of Missouri, and although some al
lowance must be made for local con
ditions, much of the work will be of
value to farmers in all parts of the
United States.
One very definite conclusion which
the department's experts have reached
Is that farms with less than 40 acres
In crops do not pay, and a logical
development of the inquiry may lead
to data which will make possible
something like a standardization of
farms, such that farmers may, by
putting proper amounts, of land into
crops of various kinds, have better
assurance of making a comfortable
living than they have now.
Souad Business Basis ITrg-ed.
"Rule-of-thumb" methods In agri
culture have be pre much dis
credited alread.' itr as the raising
of crops and livestock is concerned,
and now the government is endeav
oring to supplant these methods in
farm management by sound business
principles.
Too many farmers, even now, have
little training for their work, and
many of those who are technically
well equipped lack the administrative
ability that is requisite to make the
, most out of their resources. It 1
partly because the farmer, particu
larly the small farmer, has failed as
a business man that his present con
dition is so deplorable.
Many Farms Examined.
Experts of the department of agri
culture have examined thoroughly
many farms, part of them valley and
level upland farms, and others located
In rolling and hilly uplands. Roughly,
the results of the invest. gation show
that farms of either class which had
40 acres or more in crops returned a
fair income for the labor expended
upon them, but that the others did
not
As might have been expected, the
labor return is greater for valley than
for hill farms. The average return
for the farmer's labor in the hill
group of farms with less than 4U
acres in crops was only $165 a year,
and for valley farms 1204.
On the other hand, valley farms
averaging 52 acres in crop a group
ranging between 40 and 70 acres in
crops showed a labor return of
$591 a year, and those with more
than 70 acres in crops showed an
average labor return of $1077 a year.
The corresponding figures for hill
(arms were $162 and $309.
Careful study of the records of 79
farms has indicated that 40 acres in
crops is a minimum for successful
and profitable agriculture and that
valley farms are much better pros
pects than those on the hills. The
family income, including amounts
left from total farm receipts after
deducting expenses, average only $759
for the hill farms, but was $1331 for
valley farms.
bile and attending to official duties
connected with my visit." said Sloat,
"it was natural that I should visit
police headquarters and talk shop
with officers with whom I was ac
quainted. While I was there the call
came to search a residence on the
east side. I offered to escort Patrol
men Huntington, Russell and Smith.
The residents were away from home.
In the course of a search a trunk was
pried open and the money revealed.
The residents returned while we were
there and it was then that the charge
was made that the money was miss
ing. The oficers agreed to leave the
premises unmolested until superior of
ficers might reach the scene ind check
up on matters. They searched some
time, using flashlights in a dark
ened room, where the bill, according
to the charge, was found. Patrolman
Regan declared that he had seen me
slipping the money from my shirt to
the floor. He called out:
'Here's the money and here's the
thief.'"

war do recently enaea was due more
than anything else to the work of
the Grand Army since the surrender
of Lee. The amalgamated citizenship
enjoyed today, and the prevalent
spirit of loyalty to the flag would not
otherwise prevail, he declared.
"The finest example of fraternalism
I know of is instanced by the Grand
Army," said Mr. Timms. "No set of
men in this country has hung to
gether so firmly as they have, be.
cause no other set of men has sacri
ficed as they have.
Lives Called fexample.
"Their lives afford the finest ex
amples of citizenship we have any
knowledge of and as Sons of Veterans
we are trying to show by our lives
tnat their efforts through the years
nave not Deen in vain. It is our mis
sion to be the best citizens of the
Union It is possible to be."
Dr. W. T. McEIveen, pastor of the
First Congregational church, gave
the invocation, and later in the serv
ice spoke on "Being Sons of Noble
Sires." He said it was an estab-
nsnea ract in science that just as
evil traits are perpetuated by the
whims of heredity, so were the vir
tues of humanity. He spoke as a son
of a veteran, and declared there is
good blood in this generation, and
who wanted to get into the country
or to some mountain or beach resort
to spend the Decoration day vacation,
really began on Friday. By Saturday
afternoon it was at its apex and
trunk-line roads from Portland were
lined with automobiles.
Highways east, west, north and
south from the city shared in the
heavy " travel, although roads to the
beaches at the mouth of the Columbia
were most popular of all. Seaside and
other nearby resorts were also
crowded and appeared like an August
Sunday yesterday, it was reported.
There was a steady stream of cars
going west on the highway from
Portland Saturday and yesterday.
Seaside hotels were filled Saturday
and accommodations were sought at-
residences in the town. Weather was
the warmest of the season so far. .
Travel East Is Heavy.
Travel over the highway toward
The Dalles was also heavy. Many
went out for the trip, making their
journey long enough so that with a
stop over night, two days would be
taken up in driving. With the coun
try at its prettiest and roads dry
and in good condition, the appeal of
the open country was not to be re
sisted and it called with an insistent
voice.
Down the Willamette valley, too,
the movement was heavy. Many au
tomobilists made it the first occasion
of the year for a long trip and rela
tives or friends In places in far parts
of the state were objectives of many
vacationists.
Rail, lines and steamers attracted
their quotas also, journeys of senti
ment to some former home or ceme
teries where loved ones slept being
the dominant motive in ever so many
cases.
