' "In the ground that I set out In bar

' ing system I raised an average of JO
bushels to the acre," said Mr. Toung.
.-My 40 acre set out In barley did ex
cellently without the aid of a drop of
water from irrigation.
The experiment was watched !,
good deal of interest bv1 other ranchers
Sear me and I thmk many of them will
try the Campbell, system , the coming

The Portland Festival Chorus, (00
strong,, may sing at ths approaching
Seattle exposition on Portland day.
This Ides, was suggested to the cho-i-iii
at rehearsal last nlrht. bv its
new president, Frederick W. Goodrich,
and 'met with every mark of apprecia
tion, Mr. Goodrich said that the festi
val 'Chorus -ought to contain the best
singers to be obtained In this section of
tne country ana tnai inese ougnc "
tm.lnd at reeular rehearsals until the
chorus is the best vocal organisation
west--of the - Rocky mountains. te
thought that every musician in the city
ought to cordially help to accomplish
this, and that the officers of the chorus
ought not be content until 600 members
are enrolled. It was also suggested
that outside sections of the chorus be
organize in Oregon City, Astoria, For
est Grove, and possibly Vancouver,
Wash., and other towns, and that after
these outside chorus members had re
hearsed the music to be rendered, that
thev could Join the main choir In this
city for general rehearsals under the
direction of William H. Boyer.
It was decided to consider the pro
posed by-laws and constitution at the
next meeting of the chorus, to be held
Tuesday night at Ellers" halL Park and
wasmngton streets, several cnoruses
were- suns; from ' Sullivan's . "Golden
Legend."
