C. i Chapman, editor of the Oregon Vot-1 cr, who returned recently Horn eight1 days In the woods. "Every patriotic heart w ould thrill j to see what is being accomplished on ' so vast a scale In actual production of airplane spruce, and also in rail- j load timber," said Mr. Chapman.: "Every parent will be interested to learn of the splendid care taken of the soldiers, as to feeding, sanitation, : recreation and military training. j "More than 200 soldieis are put ting in eight bout's a day In logging; or construction work on this unit of the ppruce production division, and l-efore long 3500 soltliers will be on this one jo1). The men are all or Kc:zd on a military basis, in com-1 panies. or squadrons as they are call- cd in the signal service, and are liv- ing in fine, clean camps of from 50 to 150 mn each. ' "Actual logging !s already in prog- ress on a large scale at the end of a chort line of soldier built railroad south of Toledo. The soldiers have been broken in by civilian loggers to buck the saw and swing the ax. and it is splendid to watch their clean and efficient work felling the mighty spruce trees. Originally !t was in tended to extend this railroad line farther north Into the SilPtz basin, but an easier, less cos'.!;- and much ruickcr line was found along the coast north from the bay, and this is being rushed to completion.

To encourage the production of fax to meet the demands for oil seed the department or agriculture assist ed In locating stocks of seed for ths growers In Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Through various agencies that have co-operated with the department's committee on seed stocks, necessary arrange ments were made to interest farm ers In a alrga acreage of flax. In the states mentioned commercial agencies were interested, extension workers addressed groups of growers outlining the need for increased pro duction and best methods of culture, and posters were prepared for use in reaching individual farmers.

V Kellerman, associate chief, bureau of plant industry, and Raphael Zon, chief, forest investigations. The Na tional Research Council was organiz ed in 191G at the request of the pres ident by the National Academy of Sciences. The president recently re quested the National Academy of Sciences to perpetuate the National Research Council, the duties of which were defined In the executive order a? follows: "In general, to stimulate lesearch In the mathematical, physi cal, and biological sciences and In the application of these sclencrs, to engi neering, agriculture, medicine, and other useful arts, with the object ot increasing knowledge, of strengthen ing the national defense, and of con tributing in other ways to the public welfare." The women of Uinta county, Utah, have saved $2500 during the last month I remoelelins hats and cloth in under the suuervlsion of the coun ty home demonstration agent. The work is carried on at meetings to which the women bring their mate ilals and w ork under the agent's sup ervision.

These young teachers are being taught In teams of three. They must give the demonstration to I he audience first in English and then In the foreign language. This Is for the purpose of educating the foreign ejieaking people in English. It is the Urn of the extension workers in the 22 northern and western states to have a trained team of volunteer irembers to give canning and drying demonstrations wherever there Is suf ficient number of foreign-speaking peoples to warrant it. A lis! of the owners of accredited herds pure-bred dairy herds that have shown by two annual tubercu lin tests that they are free from tu berculosis together with owners of herds that have successfully passed one test, the number in the various herds and the breeds, will be publish ed by the bureau of animal Industry in duly. It is planned that this list with additions will be published peri odically thereafter. This information be of value to buyers and sellers of dairy cattle, as It will enable huy tn. to locate cattle that are free from tuberculosis and will help breeders in finding a more ready market. Velvet beans, the frcat forag? and feed crop of the south, is being given tpecial attention by the animal hu3 l.andry division. Investigations are being conducted by this division In co-operation with state agricultural colleges to determine the most econ omical form in which to feed velvet beans to fatten steers. The results of practical feeding tests conducted during the past year have been com piled and are being distributed anions farmers and feeders in sections where velvet beans are grown successfully. To locate adequate supplies of good quality seed of cereal crops for 191t, field Inspectors of the department of :?riculture have already begun work in the southwest. AVork is now be ing done in field of Kanrad wheat in Kansas and cf Early Lcart wheat in New Mexico and Arizona in order to make available larga supplies of seed of this variety for use in tiies'c antes and in California next year. This work will he extended with wheat and otiier grains In the more important grain producing areas of the U. S. as the season advances. The department is also co-operating with btate authorities in selecting and in specting potatoes to bs used as seel next year. To insure sanitary sources of miik for men in army cantonments and at naval stations, market milk special ists of the department of agriculture are assisting public health .officials in working with dairy farmers to im prove the milk supply. The zones around 12 cantonment3 and naval rtatlons have been covered with very beneficial results. Large numbers of horses are being gathered at the army camps in vari ous parts of the V. S. and they re quire heavy shipments of hay from rrimary points to the larger market ing centers. Many of these horses will he shipped abroad, and hay as well as more concentrated feed must follow them. More horses, in turn, will be required at the training camps here. The supply of hay as well as other feeds will have to be kept mov ing and In ample quantiti?s from the farms and warehouses. The bureau of markets' grain and hay reporting service Is prepared to give assistance v hercver needed in the marketing of hay. Cold storage specialists of the bur eau of markets are assisting the quar termaster corps of the army and navy in handling problems connected with the movement and storage of butter and frozen beef. Tho chrome Industry In Siskiyou county is making Immense strides. Shipments would be doubled if more cars were Obtainable. Besides, the roads in many parts of the county where chrome is being mined are in surh a shape that an auto truck of over a ton and. a half capacity can not operate. The shipments that Jiave ben made sine? January 1 from Caze.Ile, Ilornbrook and Yreka r.gregate 2! cars. From reliable in formation there are over .100 tons on dumpi and at the railroad stations t hat will be shipped during the next ion days if cars can be obtained. Yreka News. If the farmer; arc to pave their crops it is going to bo necessary that they receive some assistance, as the recent calls by the draft board has depleted their available help to the extent that a number of the farm ers' w!'l not be able to take care of ill their hay and grain crops unless assistance Is given Immediately.

Roseburs News. n.vperiuients with sunflowers to de termine their suitability for silaje are being conducted in tiie western U. S. by the bureau of plant industry, in co-operation with state experiment stations. There are 'indications that tills crop may be specially useful in regions where the growing season is too cool for the production of large yields of silage corn. Tl.e experi ments were begun in 1017 at Hunt ley, Montana, and Scottsbluff, Neb, and the first years 'results let the in- j vestigatora to extend the worl to loiher points this year. In 1917 the yields of sunflower silage exceeded those of corn silage in the same fields from 50 to 100 per cent. Yields of more than 20 tons per acre were ob-: tained under irrigation. j liAIIAVAY HACK PAY TO BE II.WDKI) OUT Back pay for railway employes i covering the first five months ofj this year, according to the schedules; ordered by the United States railroad I wage board, Is now in sight for se-v-' oral thousand men and women in the large cities cf Oregon and Washing-! ton and at up-state points.
