FULLJF PROMISE
Indicalion. are That a Bumpei
Yield Will be Harvested
Washington County now h,t
promise of it bumper yield of
tall and Winter sow it wheat, ami
nothing but untoward weather
between now and June 1, or a
visitation of bugs or rust, will
stop il. The acreage is the great
est ever sown lit tlte rniiiity
partlv tint: brrause of the good
price for the cereal during war
times, ami partly due beritiiM- of
l practical guar inter on the part
of the government that prices
will remain good for the staff of
life.
The weather last Fall w.t
more than good for seeding, ai;d
many seeded nn until the lirsl of
February, and their was just
freeze enough to help nt'o-r
than hinder.
Only in a few spots was the
crop injured by rains, ami that
was whirr the land laid vrry
low and watrr stood on the new
grown blades.
With any decent kind of
ring there should be many
lields yielding from 25 to tt)
bu-hels' per acre- a not unusual
crop for this section when condi
tions arc right.
Spring work is beginning here
and there where tin- drainage is
good, the two or three days of
sunshine last week, and a cessa
tion of rainfall havil g done won
ders in drying out the soil.
As it is estimated that there is
t train of 25 per cent, if not
more, in Fall sown grain, the
Spring work will not represent
mneli nereaire as lit oilier
years.
Noticeable is the fact Hint
here and there small farmer
who have heretofore raised lio
wheat now have in from ten to
fifteen acres of the Winter
irrown. Ami it brings the money
these davs.

Wyoming, writes lli.it he is in a

DID HE FEEL IT?
If R. H. Booth, of Eugene, did
not leave Hillshoro and Forest
firove feelinir that people npprt
eiated his work and presence on
the State Highway Commission,
it was not the fault of the riti-
y.rns of the two cities. At each
place he was given a token of
l heir aitoreciatioti, and the Ar
gus thinks that this feeling pre
vails over the state. JU r
noih is n wealthy man. a man
of affairs, and of wide exper
ience, and his work on the com
mission always insures n fairness
i., tin. lioblie as well ns lo the
livirtors. Just how he ran let
go of the commission under the
sl.'tuees it hard to realize.
IT,. i n siilendid third to the
commission, and the interests of
the state are such that he is
,,i,ted to remain inst where be
is, Mr. Booth would make tio
statement ns to whether or not
he would remain on the board.

State Highway Commissioner
Thompson Monday told a good
story on himself and A. C. Slmte.
It seems they were together nl
Corvallis. and came down from
that city to Hillsboro in Shutu's
ir n few vears nto. Kiev
lied Hillsboro about mid
ight, and Thompson had tt
ihoned from MeMinnville to
1',.1-Miinil for a ear to meet him
re in Hillsboro, nt the Slmte
Tt.ink. The car armed a qu-irtri
of nn hour ahead of Slmte and
Th.iwoii. and the clialleur
waited in front of the bank
while the niffht officer kept nn
eve on him as nn embryo bank
robber. At midnight Slmte nnd
Thompson rolled in. Slmte s
i was not. recognized by the
iirht watch, and when A. C.
took Thompson in to show him
the niceties of the bniikin"
house the officer rushed up nnd
hammered on the ttoor ilemnml
inn- admittance. He thought
there was a hank robbery li:
milled off and wns Eroin(r to
