Lecture in Portland
Tells pf the Vital
Influence of Color
Orcella Rexford, lecturer on
the practical use of color, submit
ted to an exceedingly interesting
interview yesterday in Portland,
which an enterprising; reporter on
the Oregon Journal .tabulated in
that paper last night as follows:
Men are color starred and that's
the reason they don't come home
at night, but go hunting for ex
citement. Pretty clothes will do
more to keep husbands at home
than the best pies and puddings. '
The main reason staid married
men suddenly start chasing flap
pers is bet ause young girls wear
pretty clothes, and these men are
"hungry for color. I
The reason tired business men
get to be tired business men is
because they work In drab, depres
sing offices and go home to drab,
oppressive homes.
The day Is coming when color
will be used everywhere in offices,
in, homes, and on the street, even
to. the extent of livening up side
walks, fences, walls and pave
ments. Orcella Rexford, lecturer on
practical use of color, is authority
for this diagnosis, prescription and
ptodictlpn. ' Shcvlsited la Port

11 PLANTIF'BSi ATiD -ACREAGE OF ALFALFA
This Is the Progressive Showing Made in; Polk County,
Where There May Be Found 75 to 1 00 Plantings, and
Where the Grimm Alfalfa Is Certain to Make a Con
spicuous Showing in the Progress of, Dairying in That
West Side District in the Immediate Future
By J. R. BECK
Between 75 and 100 Polk coun
ty farmers have preparations un
der way for the seeding of from
an acre to 15 acres of alfalfa each
this year. This is a large increase
over the plantings at any time
previous in the history of the
county and is due to the very fa
vorable results obtained in the
past two years.
Like all other Willamette val
ley farmers, those in Polk county
had tried off and on for years to
obtain stands of alfalfa, but near
ly all of them proving failures.
These failures were probably due
to seyeral causes, such as wrong
variety of seed, improper prepa
ration of the ground, lack of in
oculation, too sour soil and too
early seeding, but during the last
four years, through the concerted
efforts of farmers and representa
tives of the O. A. C. extension ser
vice, several of these factors have
been eliminated, with the result
that throughout the Willamette
valley there are now quite a few
successful alfalfa plantings of
from one to five years of age, with
a few considerably older.
Very Large Increase
The summer of 1926 really dem
onstrated to Polk county farmers
that alfalfa could be grown in
their county. Some of these
plantings were seeded as a result
of information from farmers in
Washington county. Others were
seeded as a result of the activities
of Paul H. SplllmaB, county agent
of Polk county at that time. These
seedings are scattered here and
there over the entire county, and
at the present time almost all of
them are showing that they will
make good growth this year. Such
evidence as this has resulted in
several hundred per cent increase
in the number of plantings and
acreage.
Inoculation Culture Ready
Through the office of the coun
ty agent at Dallas, twenty-four
farmers have secured 114 8 pounds
of No. 1 certiSed Grimm alfalfa
seed. Some of the larger seedings
will be put out by Andrew Camp
bell of Ballston, Joe Harland of
Rickreall, J. S. Hiatt of Spring
Valley and H. G. Keyt of Perry
dale. Thee four men will seed
approximately 53 acres. Many
other farmers have secured their
seed from various sources, one of
the principal ones being through
the Monmouth cooperative ware
house. There is every indication and
every reason to believe that alfalfa
will play an important part iu the
dairy and; poultry industry of
fornia and spoke Tuesday night
at the Metaphysical library. She
is accompanied by her husband,
Dr. Gayne V. Gregory, Alaskan
dentist and now her personal man
ager. Tuesday afternoon Miss Rex
ford, clad in a glorious Russian
dress made for her in Paris by an
exiled princess, sat on the mezza
nine floor at the Multnomah ho
tel and told about her theories
and her life.
"My marriage was romantic,"
she said. "I knew my time had
come to , get married. I know
these things, you see. I feel them.
I decided Alaska was the place
where I should be married. I got
my trosseau and went to Alaska.
I had my wedding gown made be
fore I started. It was made of all
the colors of the rainbow and I
was called) on that account the
Aurora Boreal is bride. I met my
husband in Alaska and we were
married. He also believes in color
Look, here he comes now. See,
entering the door. It is easy to
distinguish him by his turquoise
hat."
Miss Rexford had spoken truth
fully. It was as easy to distin
guish the genial doctor by his hat
as it would be to tell in which di
rection the sun was rising on a
clear morning.
"He has a great many hats of
different colors," she said, and ex
plained that she had the largest
wardrobe of any woman on the
platform. She has 50 evening
dresses alone.
"Every person has 10 shades
they can wear. This is determ
ined by the eyes, hair and skin.
One should wear three of the 16
at a time. Black should never be
worn. Evening clothes should be
bright. In Europe men are al
ready wearing lavender and cerise
evening clothes. Black is the sym
bol of death. Dark brown cloth
ing and dark brown homes will
leave dark brown tastes in the
mouths of wearers and inhabi
tants. Red is a hard color for
rugs and hangings. It causes irri
tation. She told of saving a restaurant
from bankruptcy by redecorating
it to build up trade. She told of
changing a client's personality by
Changing the color of the-walls.
She told of the houses of the fu
ture with rooms decorated for
stimulation and oVhers for relaxa
tion. She told of selling merchan
dise by making the display attrac
tive with proper color combina
tions. Her mother was an artist. She
studied at the University of Cali
fornia and has just completed a
50,000 automobile trip over the
world. In Egypt she was the first
woman to enter the tomb of Tutankhamen.
