Salem' the central point of the eat, central Willamette valley, is taping many and great benefits jfrom this natural advantage that jare pushing her steadily to the front in growth of population and business"-i ( Some benefits that might have been expected lut are nevertheless 'pleasant surprises as theyj come to fruition. - , Thlscity has been the Oregon headquarters for the Oregon mo- Jtpr stages for some time. J Over 100 stages report to the Salem stage terminal every day, and considerably, over 500 people an the average Arrive and depart fom the building every 24 hours, 'jhe ticket sales here, at the stage Office in the Terminal hotel, which & conducted in connection with the stage terminal, average about 1450 a day, according to W. W. Chadwick, resident and general Jnanager of the stage terminal ho el here. I This .figure does not include Stop-overs on the. through stages, the holders of many of which spend several hours or a day here. Seventeen people are employed (round the terminal station in con nection with the stage business. New Transportation, Era It is only a few years ago that the present - idea of a system of stage lines, operating upon a defi nite: schedule, was conceived, and opened a ne"w era in transporta tion. X: . . j f New territory has been opened recently, and from the Salem stage terminal it is now possible to pur chase tickets for all parts of Ore gon, .Washington, California, Ida ho and British Columbia, and even through as far as Texas. The Oregon, Stages operate all stages between Portland and Ash land, and make transfers to all southern Oregon points or for the Coos Bay district.. . Passengers may also continue to San Francis co over the Redwood highway. Over 64 of these stages are in the Salem terminal daily. The Pickwick Stages carry all through . passengers to California and make the trip to San Francis co tn '.30 hours. They have eight stages a day in Salem, four going north and four souths New equipment is constantly be Ing added, and the Oregon Stages now have 30 motor .coaches, half ot them chair cars. .'Passengers may transfer at Eu gene for Bend and other Eastern Oregon points. Other Lines, Too Stage company business that is handled through the local term! nal includes that , of the Oregon Stages, i the Hammond stages, which operate to the Mill Cltydls ""uerniinai liuT5Iri-.I"io iu1 -4 , with W.

The new hotel and terminal will be ready for occupancy by the first of January. The stages will enter under the building from High street and drive out through the alley. Besides the lobby and the waiting room on the -lower floor, there will be eight store rooms. There will be three upper floors for the hotel rooms, etc. This will be by far the best hotel for its purpose in the Pacific northwest, and the handsomest. It will represent a cost of $200,000. The S. P. Enters Field The Southern Pacific has just entered the motor coach field for western Oregon, . with splendid new cars of an improved type a fleet of fourteen of them to start with. And Salem is made the head quarters for this system. The ac counts are kept here. The cars are reconditioned and cleaned here, with the old street railway barns on Front and Chemeketa streets turned into a huge garage. These splendid new coaches start ed on their-runs day-before-yester- day, the 20th, and they range all over the western part of the state and will increase in schedules and number-i-and the headquarters will be in Salem, all the time. At the inception, this adds 60 to 75 to the population of Salem direct ly, and perhaps 150 more indirect ly will soon follow and the num ber will be constantly on the in crease. A terminal will be secured soon, in a convenient down town location. ah mis new aeveiopment is a wonderful thing for Salem. The indirect benefits will be almost be yond calculation.

M EET THE IVliY CHl'GED CON D IWfS Wm; Patty, in the Amity Section of Polk County, Will "Red rl.." ATI ir T WiU riy,r Cnm nnrl dm in otirl Uonn Sheep and Hogs and Protfoce Certified Seed for the Purpose of Profit to Himself and to Do Good in the World by Help ing His Neighbors. Editor Statesman: William Patty is a young farm er over in the Amity section who is planning on adjusting produc tion on a 280-acre general farm to meet the new and changing conditions in present-day farm ing. He scoffs at the idea that farming must forever remain an unprofitable business. He be lieves it holds wonderful oppor tunities for young men in the fu ture, providing the old style wheat and oat farming is replaced by modern methods, which in clude the extensive growing of le guminous crops, the keeping of livestock, the drainage of wet land, the planting of only the beet possible varieties of the highest quality of seed. Mr. Patty's basis of adjusting production centers to a great extent upon further econ- t s i i i. : . .. c omies iu pruuui'uuu, auu ma ei fort is directed toward securing large yields per acre. The Reasons Why The changed conditions In pres ent day farming, as contrasted to pre-war farming, have been brought about largely due, first, to depleted fertility of the soil be cause of steady croping to wheat and oats; second, to the difficulty in securing adequate and satis factory farm labor, and third to the comparative low price for many staple farm products as compared to higher costs for la bor, machinery, taxes and trans portation. The young wide-awake Ameri can farmer is the most ingenious, and adaptable farmer in the world, and we were very much interested in making a study of how William Patty proposes to meet these changed conditions in farming, because it was felt that it we could- learn something from him, it in turn could be passed on as an inspiration for other farmers. Rearranging Fields The Patty farm comprises about 230 acres of land in culti vation. For a number of years it has been fenced into about ten separate fields, each of which is almost square. The first step is to reduce the number of fields by almost half, and to make each fiel4 rectangular, because he has observed that it is a great deal easier and quicker to farm ar rec tangular field, which is two or three times longer than wide, than it is to farm a square field. And moreover it is much easier to put in a temporary stock fence in a rectangular field. The war-time price for grain was such a great inducement to grow wheat and oats that thgre was a tendency to let the clover acreage shrink smaller and small er each year. Will "Red Clover" It Mr. Patty appreciates the val ue of clover as a soil builder, es pecially for grain crops, and he is planning to "red clover" the whole farm just as rapidly s he can do so. He figures on seed ing at least 75 acres to clever next spring, and he will plan to have at least a third of the culti vated land in clover each year. Previous experience has shown him the value of sheep on a gen eral farm, and he will keep the maximum number that can be properly cared for. There is one side hill field which this fall will be seeded down to a permanent pasture mixture of rye grass, red top and white clover, and this field together .with about 40 acres of upland pasture will furnish an ideal pasturage arrangement dur ing the winter months whenJit is 2 PACIFIC not advisable to have the sheep on the farming ground. He Will Use TUe There are certain., places in some of the fields where the wa ter seeps out, and these places present a drainage problem which will be met by the installation of tile, because, as Mr. Patty pointed out, it was not so much a Ques tion of whether they could afford the tile, as it was a proposition that they could not afford to do without it. He pointed out a low place in one field where there was an excellent stand of red clover which was made possible by the use of tile, and he also mentioned that some of the best grain crops were grown on places which had been drained. He is convinced that proper tile and open ditch drainage is one of the important factors in the adjustment pro gram. Will Breed Hogs Mr. Patty knows from experi ence the profit that can be obtain ed from hogs properly handled, and will plan to keep at' least eight brood sows, and to raie to litters per year from each sow. Hogs mean the raising of corn, but that is just what he wants to do, because 25 to 30 acres of corn will furnish fine hog feed, and then it works out mighty well to have that much cultivated crop each year in the rotation plan. ; Certified Grain 1 was very much interested to find out that the thing which is really dear to his heart is the1 raising of high quality certified seed wheat, oats and 'corn. In' re ferring to the seed he stated, "When I analyze my own likes and dislikes I can see that the thing I am most interested in is to build up a reputation for pro ducing high class seed grain. This year I have 150 0 bushels of cer tified white winter wheat which is being placed on the market for seed, and I feel that it is worthy to be sold under my name." The sample of this certified white winter wheat tested out 61 and is as fine a quality of seed wheat as any farmer can ask for. It is not hard to see that the de sire to grow a fine quality of 'seed grain is spurring Mr. Patty on to adopt the very best farming prac tices, and which is responsible in a large measure for the working out of an adjustment, program whereby each year he will have 75 acres of clover sod and 25 to 30 acres of corn ground for his grain. The drainage of the land as well as the sheep will play an important; part in increased yields per acre, and the hogs will fit in to the scheme because they will not only harvest the ccjrn but they will afford a profitatble market for the screenings which are fan ned out of the seed grain. Mr. Patty has a tine cleaning plant of his own and in bidding for that reputation he is after he makes doubly sure that the grain is cleaned and then recleaned: before being put on the market. Serving Self and Others The youth and' enthusiasm of . Mr. Patty is pointing the way to a pathway whieh leads to better things in agriculture. He is help ing himself, and the beauty of it is he is making available a high quality of seed grain for his neighbors which will be of real value. The extension department of the State of Ohio made a sur vey In 1923 which showed . that the planitng of better varieties of wheat alone increased the income of the Ohio farmers over half a million dollars in one year. The adjustmentrjroductlpn, pro- HEALTH ORETCfi; i. l gram that Mr. Patty is working oat gives n. person high hope, and real encouragement about the fu ture ot. agriculture, because it is a gradual adjustment based up on clover, sheep, corn, hogs- and grain. It is. not an artificial ef fort to make a hurried adjust ment of acreage to fit variations in market prices. Those who chase, priees with crops are gen erally foredoomed to disappoint ment because they usually find themselves a year or two behind the crest of high prices. IVAN STEWART.
