With the harvest season well along, not a single Instance of serious lack of workmen has come to the attention of J. W. Brewer, farm help specialist. The early season fear that crops would ripen and rot In the field for want of men to h arrest them has proved alto gether ungrounded, due to the syste matized efforts to place men where they are most needed.

Men from every walk of life law yers, teachers, undertakers, policemen and many others answered the call to help save the crops. Many men went to work for less money than they coald make at home. Many spent their ' va cations' as farm hands. Close to 200 In all went from Portland to help the I teV th sara-preasea igncujiuruu. City Mm Prove Capable. And the remarkable feature of It all Is that these men. some of whom had never been on a farm before,' most of them "soft" from indoor work, proved capable farm hands. Mr. Brewer has received numerous letters to this effect. Indicating tat the farmers appreciate the co-operation or the city men. vrypi ral of such letters is one from L Barnum. of the Bank of Moro, Moro, Or., which reads as follows: "It has occurred to me that you might be interested in the outcome of some of your efforts to induce men en gaged in business or employed by busi nesa firms to spend their vacations in the harvest fields. For this reason I will tell you about four men who an wered this call. O. A. C Teacher Makes Good. An Instructor at O. A. C. wrote to the county agent of Sherman County, offering his services as a farm hand during the Summer. This letter was handed to me. and as I needed a man to run a header, I telegraphed the teacher to come. Be arrived on the S o'clock train, and before 6 he had his clothes changed and was at work. We have been operating a header on our place for the past 18 years and our new man is giving us the best satisfaction we have had during that period. "Three young men from a Portland Insurance office recently arrived In Moro.

R. competition with the grapejulcea raanu factured in New York. Ohio. California and elsewhere. It should be said, how ever, that loganberry Juice here In Washington and In other cities is priced 10, IS or Z0 cents higher per quart than grapejulce. Quite naturally many who know nothing of the relative merits of the two drinks will take the cheaper, and the loganberry Juice producers, there fore, are at some disadvantage. This is not saying that the two Julcfs ought that dealers say It Is harder to turn over the loganberry stock. - Examination of the bottles on dis play in the store where the loganberry demonstration wae in progress showed that a bottle of loganberry Juice selling for 35 cents bore instructions to add two parts of water, while a bottle of grapejulce selling for 25 cents bore In structions to add four parts of water. The inexperienced buyer would lmme diately get the impression that he could get more fruit Juice drink for 25 cents by buying grapejulce than he could get for 35 cents by buying loganberry Juice. It is going to take a lot of work and advertising to Induce consumers gen' erally to try both and decide in favor of the more expensive article. Barrels Better Than Bottles. If loganberry Juice could be put up more cheaply in large containers and retailed to the thirsty street crowds during July and August, there would be practically no limit to the amount that could be disposed - of. Many a small Ice cream and soft drink establishment has Its large Inverted bottle of orange Juice, and people pass it up for other preparations. But while orange Juice finds little favor in the small soft drink establishments down on Ninth street. where the orange growers' association is selling nothing but orange Juice, peo ple stand in line and grow impatient because the Californians can t dish out the juice fast enough. Undoubtedly the loganberry people can devise some plan by which the heat sufferers of the East can be Induced to drink the Oregon rejuvenator freely when a surplus makes it necessary to sell it faster than the trade will take it in pint or quart bottles. If Oregon loganberry Juice were for sale on a busy street here now. Just as orange Juice -is, many people would learn to like it and become regular patrons of the stores that sell it by the bottle. 35c rpeetal PraUe Is Clvea Citizens Whe Jo sell at the same price, for logan- I berry Juice is worth more ;-the point ia Opcaed Taeir Homes ua mmn CHINOOK RUN IS LARGEST Coos Bay Fishermen. Have Most Successful Season' Since 1002. MARSHFIEXiD, Or.. Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) Fishermen and others who are familiar with conditions predict a suc cessful season for the fishermen on Coos Bay, who have for the past few years seen only ordinary runs and sometimes experienced short seasons. The Chinook now being caught and sold here are of much heavier proportions than common and are larger than the average caught for the past 16 years. O. Bennett, a fish oracle, and well informed on the subject, declares the last run of fish of the present Chinook size was In 1902, when, after coming here on hearing of the enormous size of chlnook being taken. R. D. Hume, of Wedderburn, declared the run be longed to Rogue River. In 1902 the Rogue River had a light run. but this year the latter part of the season has been very prodnctive of large fish and many, so the claim set by Mr. Hume in the past cannot be made this time.
