EIGHT PER CKSNT PriR ANNUM $ NO DELAYS TWO PER CENT COMMISSION -2 Vermont Loan & Trust Company $ Sec Sanford & Mc Kinney, Madras, Oregon ITEMS OF INTEREST HILL IS SENDING DRY FARMING EXPERT St. Paul, Sept. 25. Impetus will be given to dry farming next month in Oregon by pro . lessor Thomas Shaw, soil expert of Montana and North Dakota, who has been commissioned by Hill railroad interests to tour Interior Oregon and to speak to citizens of that region at import rant centers, such as Ontario, Vale, Bums, Prineville, Bend, Madras and Silver Lake. Other towns will be added to the itin erary. The tour will begin at Ontario about October 8. Vast areas of Montana and North Dakota yielded between one-half and two-thirds crop this year on only five inches average rainfall. The normal rainfall is 15 inches about that of many parts of the Interior Oregon country. Without "Dry" meth ods Montana and North Dakota would have lost their crops com pletely in their semi-arid dis tricts. Land that recieved only three and one-half inches rainfall this year yielded crops due to "dry" farming methods. This was one of the driest years in the history of Montana and North Dakota, yet crops were . not failures. Professor Shaw for 12 years was - head of the Department of Animal Husbandry of the Agricultural College of Minnesota. Piior to that service he was a practical farmer for 25 years, near Hamilton, Ontario. In recent years he has lieen nnp'oyd by James J. Hill, for -the Great Northern Rail road, working out problems of dry farming in the Middle Nortowest. He Is highly regarded by Mr. Hill and by the people In this section of the country. Mr. Hill is desirous of bringing the dry districts of Int rior Oregon into successful agriculture, just as he has helped to lo elsewhere along his rail roads. With this end in mind he is sending Professor Shaw into Oregon, to give the people there useful infor mation. The Oregon & Western Colonization Company, purchaser of the 800,000 acre land grant of the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Military Road, will co-operate all it can toward mak ing Professor Shaw's tour successful. W. P. Davidson, president of the com pany, will probably be at Ontario when Professor Shaw begins his trip; also .John E. Burchard, vice-president ol the company. This company plana to put a large part of its holdings on the market for new settlers. Professor Shaw's method of dry farming for grain is this : In early Spring plow as deeply as practicable; immediately follow with roller or disc harrow and then with aplke harrow; allow the land to lie fallow that season: after each ram use the aplke harrow (this conserves and holds the water,) If plowing can be done in the Fall, so much the better. In that case corn can be planted the next Spring for an intermediate crop between two yields of wheat. Two tons an acre of cured corn fodder is common by this system. Or in place of corn fodder, fi' Id peas or beans may be raised, without un fitting the ground for next year's wheat. But steady wheat growing, without intervening years of conserv- tit nnf atinnaaaft Professor haw Is of the opinion that , while irrigation will improve the Wil-' lamette Valley, much can be accom plished also through rejuvenation of the soil with humus--alf .Ifa, clover, etc., and by adapta ion of "dry" methods. "Greatest of all conservative prob lems in the West," says Professor Shaw, "is conservation of moisture. Yet the St. Paul Conservation Congress never touched that subject." In three years, Professor Shaw's method gives two grain .-rops, plus an Intermediate fodder crop. The Inter mediate crop d a not necessitate plow ing for the grain aowing. SIDEWALKS ORDERED. Continued from page 1. until the next regular meeting. It was moved by Councilman W. R. Cook and seconded by S E. Gray,' that no more licenses be granted to any person or per sons other than naturalized ,citi zens or native-born citizens o the United States. The motion Was carried. The six large gas lamps which are to furnish light for the busi ness part of town have been or dered. They will cost about $170 besides the freight and ex pense of installing. There Is many a canine that seems to Berve uo other earthly purpose than to eat scraps from the table, which might better bo given to the chickens, and lie at the comer of the house to rush out at passing pedestrians and tennis. This type of dog should be given btirlal honors at the earliest possible moment Every mother who has IlttI children who drink milk should take the pre caution of inquiring into the health of the cow which furnishes the milk sup ply, and this holds whether the cow In question is one's own or belongs to a neighbor. This simple precaution may save doctors' bills and funeral expenses. The rain barrel at the corner of the bouse will cease to be a fertile breed ing spot or tlie mosquito tribe If a board cover, piece of wire screen or mosquito netting Is placed over it Stagnant pools on or near the premises may be kept from being a harbor for the pests if a cupful or two of kero sene are poured on their surface. A Minnesota hog raiser whose herds have been Immune from cholera when his neighbors' have been heavy losers attributes his freedom from loss to the fact that he has purchased generous quantities of slack coal and scattered It where the hogs could get It when ever they liked. While this simple preventive of cholera is. not vouched for by veterinary authorities. It Is In expensive and worth trying. There is a whole lot about creed, theology and the hereafter that we don't know, but it seems to be a prac tical as well as safe conclusion that none of us will enjoy the heaven to be in a large or satisfying degree unless we do- what we can to promote the happiness of those with whom we live here below by fair dealing, kindness, sympathy and unselfishness. Our re ligion will doubtless be tagged "coun terfeit" If as a cloak It Is put on only in prayer meetings and on Sundays and thrown aside or forgotten the rest of the week. In answer to a query of a reader of these notes living at Dover, Del., which Is typical of several which have been received, the writer would say that he has published no book under the title "Farm, Orchard and Garden," but simply prepares three columns of weekly notes which appear In many news and agricultural papers over the country. The matter Is put In stereo type or plate form by-the American Press Association of 45 Park pluce, New l'ork city, aud may be got In this form from any one of the company'! ulxteen branch houses over the coun try. Any Individual may have the reg ular reading of this matter by sub scribing for u paper which uses It.
