Collection of excess profits from wool dealers is proceeding: and their . distribution t to wool growera will begin in the near future. This announcement is .made by-the United States depart ment of agriculture, which Is cora , 1 pletingr the work of the domestic i woof section of the war Industries board in accordance with a pro--yislon of the agricultural appropri ation bill. . ,. Reports thus far' received show that excess profits were made by about 10 per cent of the "country" dealers. Cor respondence with "distributing: - center . dealers, whose total reports are not yet! completed. Indicate that some of them have accumulated substantial amounts ' of excess profits on the wool which they actually bought. Auditing- of the ac . count of the larger dealers is a con siderable task and, win require several months.' ; The bureau of markets, which - acts for the department of agriculture In this work, will enclose with, each v check sent to a grower a circular letter giving the name of the firm which han , died , his wool and which has returned the excess profits of which the. customer J- is receiving his share," r WO BKFITKDS TO CONSIGNORS - The department calls attention to the fact that the regulations of the war in- ' dustries board did not permit the pur t chase of wool in the great woot growing States of the .Rocky mountain and Pa cific coast region except in the case of . clips of less than 100ft pounds each. All ' ; larger , cUps were required to be con , signed. , This region produces about two f thirds of the entire wool clip of the .country, which. -was ? about 257,000,000 ' . 1 pounds in 1911. 4 Growers in the eastern '- states ..were urged to pool and consign their wool and many of-them did so. Since the governmentpaid the dealers a fixed commission on consigned wool, ', ' excess profits could be made ; only on that part of the wool which they bought 'V-. outright. Therefore,- growers who con O signed their clips should not expect to . v. receive refunds.-- - : , Since 'the government control of wool has ceased the work otthe department of agriculture in this connection con- . slats only of auditing the records and 'accounts of approved .wool dealers, the " collection of any profits which they may .have made in excess of those permitted under the regulations of the war indus - tries board,' and the distribution by the , department of agriculture of these pof- ,' its directly to the growers upon whose " woof the profits were made wherever the identity of the' wool can be traced. - PERMITS IgSUEDiTO DEALERS ' The war industries board issued per mits to about 3500 "country" dealers, authorizing them to buy wool directly froia the grower. Permits were also v issued to 179 "distributing center deal ' ers who had facilities for handling wool - in .large quantities and most of whom a were located on the eastern seaboard " near the .centers of wool manufacture. These .larger dealers were required to handle wool on consignment from either - T growers or-country dealers and were ' J also v permitted to buy from , country, dealers direct, or from growers through ' , their agents., - Blank forms calling for a detailed ac ' counting have been sent by the depart " meat ; to both classes of dealers. Re ports . have been received - from - about . . 3000 of the country dealers and about ' one-half of the dealers in distributing centers. The taking . over of the wool by the war department t was completed " so recently that many of the larger ' dealers have been , -unable to prepare . their reports 4 at ah earlier date. The auditing of these reports is proceeding as rapidly as it can be done with the . limited force ; available for assignment to this work, the department says.

Bill -"Pigs "is pigs," wrote Mr. Butler, and the world laughed. "Pigs is prosperity," says Mr.. Leonard Oorthuys and smiles ; but prosperity and that smile came as the result of the mastery of a.tiew coun try and conditions by 1 a determined, forcefuli young man. ' v- Mr. Oorthuys' ancestors for genera tions have been professional men, but he, on advice of a physician, took up land scape and orchard study. He came to America in 1903 and owned and run for seven years the New Jersey, Nursery and Landscape company. In the mean time he had returned to v Rotterdam, Holland, his old home, and brought back his bride. In 1911. finding his business keeping him too much on the travel, he sold out. "and after a three months visit - with . . relatives in Holland, went directly to Medford. .; BAD LUCK AT FIRST Mr. Oorthuys hoped to get the man agement of .a large orchard but-the de pression was on and he found, this im possible. He bought a 65-acre dry ranch near Talent, remolded the house, and. not knowing our rainfall does not 'come all - through the year as in the East, planted -10 acres each to navy,, beans ana corn ana several acres OI potatoes.

With the cherry canning- season practically over the Eu gene Fruit Growers' association plant has handled to date about 600,000 pounds of the f rait, according to J.- O. Holt, manager of the concern. . The first car of this year's crop is now hejfig packed for shipment to Sioux City;. Jwa. The loganberry crop will pass all pre vious records according- to present indi cations, . Mr. Holt states. More than $00,000 pounds of the berries have been received at the cannery already and the peak . of ,the season has not yet been reached. Last year 400,000 pounds were used by the association. This year's yield will exceed 600,000 pounds, it is The first string beans of the season arrived at the cannery ' Friday, morn ing and more are due soon. Both green and yellow varieties were Included. The man who cannot be' patient with a cow has no business in the dairy barn. Patience is one of the necessary parts of the' balanced ration.

W. Pomeroy & Son. .If one dseires to know the real worth of this herd he has only to look back to its foundation and the rea son for its inception. A fewCyearrtago the late Martin Winch decided to build a model farm. This farm was to be one that would have -educational value. In a. sense it Was to be an experimental farm. . The owner had the ideal in view of better ing conditions for future boys and girls who might choose ' farm , lifeHe - espe cially was anxious that the city boy might have' close i at hand an - opportunity to know farm . life and, if desired, - to en ter into It well equipped. , , BEST HOLSTEOS BOUGHT Among the things which Mr. Winch did - was to obtain, the services of : Dr. W. S. - McClure, who was then with the United States animal , husbandry de partment t : Together they s visited the eastern states , and selected . from, the herds of Wisconsin and Iowa the very best Holsteln cattle purchasable, regard less of price. (,, ? 'Shortly before the death' of Mr. Winch. Mr. Pomeroy, who had been dairying with a few registered Holsteins and' a number of other cattle, then purchased the' Martin - Winch herd of Holsteins. They formed the foundation of theherd which he now owns, in fact, some" of the original animals are in the herd at the present time. To these to has added from tuner to time from the Hollywood farm and ; other notable herds. At the jrsent ; time his herd is one of the best in Oregon.:-v " '... FAMOUS BTJI.I XEASS HERD iThe herd is headec? by ; a HoHywood bull, Hollywood Lllith Korndyke. t The averages of records for his ' dam and sire's dam are 33.92 pounds of batter in seven days. His dam produced 35.38 pounds of butter in seven days. "When we lopk through the pedigree of this wonderful bull, we find such sires as Hollywood 1411th Palmyra, who has a 33 pounds daughter, and .King ; Korndyke Abbekerk, who has a daughter with a record of over 35, axnd three daughters above SO. As an individual this bull is a show bulL fie is in the sale and will be sold. There are. also a number of his get in the sale.' : There is also much of the DeKol and Aaggle Ruth blood. ! Another noted herd bull which was used previous to Hollywood Lilith Korn dyke was Sir Colantha Champion Fayne, a bull of wonderful breeding, a grandson of Colantha'a fourth Johanna, who had a butter record, of better than 35 pounds and was a world champion. ! This bull Harvesting MP 4 -i Mao Harvester even more wasteful of man and horse power with relatton to re sults obtained. While heading can' be done at about double the rate of cut tin with One Man Harvester," the chances of grain beirg damaged in stack., before threshing crew ar rives, is a condition to be taken into account, besides there is a certain percentage of waste every time headings are-handled.' With "One Man Harvester", straw can h t saved by. use of ' Straw Dump attachment, straw" an.d wheat Can be gathered each day by secon'd man with wagon. Total cost of operation of "One Man ? Harvester," figuring: wages for operator and horses, interest and depreciation is less than cost of operating a. header, thus the threshing expense , is ; saved and turned to a profit. Be independ ent of the help situation.' . When six horses with one man can cut and thresh your crop at the rate of 12 to 15 acres per day. why use more? , v - . - is the sire of many of the females" of the herd. Most of these females have been served ' by , Hollywood' LiUth Korn- j dyke. ': - - GOOD BECOBDS NUMEROUS - One could go on with -each Individual in the herd and give from 30 to 35 rec ords in nearly every pedigree. This is done to . show: their value as pro ducers. X visit to the herd will prove this type is equally as great a feature as production. Recently a prominent Holsteln breeder,- speaking of Hollywood Ulith Korn dyke said ; ' i "If X wanted a bull to head my herd I would - come to this 'sale and buy this bull. It would not matter what he cost me, X would not go home without him for he has type within himself and has production records back of him and the young stock which 1 saw when I visited the herd showed he is able - to transmit this type to his. progeny." There are none of . his ; progeny that have come to - the age of production, but with the prepotency of this bull for type, together i with the - high records for production back of him, to the third and fourth generations, it is safe to predict that his progeny will be heavy producers. 8CBUB COWS EXPENSIVE With the high price of. labor the dairy man can afford no longer to bother with the scrub cow. It Is necessary that he have animals" of type and production. Only a short time ago a breeder tame I into the valley with J10Q0 to purchase iv cowl . unaer cne j persuasion or a friend, he "took that 31000 and added two more lo it and L purchased - two cows. So' well nleased is he today that he would not take double the money which he paid for the two cows or dispose of them. This shows the value of ob taining pure bred stock of type and qual ity. . Cost of Feed Fails , To Decrease Stock Eugene, July 19. The amount of stock being raised in Lam county is steadily increasing' despite the high cost of feed, according: to figures given out by W. A. Ayres, marketing agent for the Lane County Cooperative .
