Marehettt Field Expert Department of Aerie ul tare Considerable has been written In refer enca to the aaerificea of business enter prises i of the nation during- tbe recent crisis, but little credit has been given to our vast grower population, whose problems, equally tremendous in many Instances, were left to the caprice of an uncertain future ; whoee unstinted patri otism contributed materially to adding new luster to the shield of democracy, and who are aow holding- in leash the forces of anarchs and -chaos by reliev ing; want, hunger and .dissatisfaction. Unfavorable weather conditions In this state, j causing extremely' ': short crops, contributed to Increased cost of produc tion and high prices of stock feeds, and the profits of the farmer, even in the most favored areas, have in many in stances been below those of pre-war years, and where crop damage -was most severe actual, losses have i been experi enced. In spite of thesev reverses. In very farm community Liberty bonds and ether war contributions have been greatly oversubscribed. Although agri culture in Oregon was in dire need of its sops; to assist in maintaining the great contribution demanded of it in the way of increased production, yet no class of people' was more liberal in offer ing them for the first line of defense so that democracy might survive for pos terity. The t- patriotic response of the farmers in this state to every demand imposed uporf them will . continue to illuminate the page of the state's bril liant history as a stimulus to future generations.

Botlcibors who are can vassing the reservation to secure acreage for sugar beets are surprised to find that many farmers, are planning to sow wheat this year and reap the benefit of the government guaran teed price. F. E. IX Sellem. one of the solicit ors, estimates that 75 to SO per cent of (the farmers ha ha visited report they are giving up other crop largely this year to grow wheat. They figure that the wheat market ia secure and not subject to fluctuation and that they can grow tbe wheat with, less trouble with the labor mar ket and consequently lea suspense.

FIRE MAY BRING : CHANGE IN CODE (Continued From Pas One) especially when steam and smoke screen the entire building. Some 'build ings are already so equipped but fur ther steps along this line will doubtless be recommended to the council for In corporation in the' building code. Mora Exits Are Seeded The Question of one outlet fort em ployes from a basement ..is also under the critical eye of officials. It is claimed that most Portland buildings have but a single approach to the street from the basement, and that it is often through the main entrance or corridor, In case this outlet is cut off by fire or steam, those entrapped In the basement have but a slight chance of escape. The matter of more avenues to the street is under consideration. ; ;-. - f 1 , A city boiler ' Inspector Is suggested as a result of the explosion. It Is sug gested that the pipes or boiler may have been in poor condition and that the eity should protect the lives of it citlsens by thoroughly inspecting all boiler In the city. At present the insurance com panies provide the only boiler inspec tion, it is' stated. Depreciation of prop erties Is often the result of a system said to be In vogue among engineers whereby they have a stated sum on which to keep the boilers and other ap paratus tn condition, the remainder of which ia kept by the engineer, It is charged that they frequently allow tbe machinery to become unsafe by failure to provide new parts. ' Will Make Thorough Investigation "We will make a thorough Investiga tion of the entire matter," Mr. Plummer said, "and recommendations for amend ment of the building code will be made in any Instance In which we believe we can safeguard the lives of Fortland peo ple.
