ANGEL, Oct, 2. -The Mt, Angel college stock. farm Holstein herd was the high winner for Ore gon in the Holstein division at the Oregon state fair. 4 Two out-of-state herds were higher winners than the local herd, they being Hayes & Co., Calgary. Canada, and William Bishop of j Chimiceaum. Wash., taking first; and second places respectively, i Mt. Angel won j. three first prizes and several : seconds and thirds.-Considering the fact that their best show herd is still in the eastern show circuit, Lawrence Thomas, herdsman for the college,, is well pleased with the Oregon fair results. -i- Showing against i the : leading Holstein herds of the country, the Mt, Angel college herd on the eastern tour was the largest win ner of first places and premium money at the Kansas free fair at Topeka, Kan., last. week. The herd won seven blues and six second place ribbons. I " This.herd, shipped from Mt An gel early In July, has been on the fair circuit almost three months and has been a leading winner at fairs throughout the Canadian provinces, Montana, South Dakota and Kansas. It is showing this week at the Oklahoma state fair at Oklahoma City. 1 The herd will go from there to the National dairy show at St. Louis and later come directly to the Pacific In ternational at Portland on the Northern Pacific purebred stock train which brings the. champion how strings from the big eastern fairs.: to the' final big show of the season at Portland. lifi.OII YOU II jOjlESj SAYS LOCAL DEALER 'Know your tiree.T Is a warn ing Klven to Salem motorists by Walter Zosel, Goodrich tire deal er. !- - : r'. . ' 'i "That Is one of the nine points to which members of the Silver town Safety League agree in an effort to promote siter driving. Tires are vulnerable points or ev err automobile as they provide the only contact between the ve hicle and the highway, unless this foundation is flawless there U chance of accident." Many tourists are ready to be ieve that their tires! are safe as long as they hold air, Mr. Zosel says. He points out that the ay erage driver; is not familiar en cm eh with his tires to know the top speed he can travel in abso lute safety, j , i ' "Many tire faults are not vis lble at a casual glance," he de clares. "A tack cannot be seen un less It happens to ee-wner it catches the eye. Bruises are not Perceptible without more than a passing glance. In , many cases a cut or other break j cannot be seen without removing the tire from the rim. A tire service man has the tools necessary for a quick, accurate Inspection. Inner tubes appear, to be all Tight as long as the tire holds up. Improper Inflation. I a pinched - tube, a leaking -valve or other apparently minor or unseen faults contribute heavily to tire failure, and should be given high regard In the Interest of more and safer tire mileage." The Sllvertown Safety League is a nation-wide safety movement sponsored by the B. F. Goodrich Rnbber company through Its dealers. The movement is ap plauded by foremost figures in American public, industrial and civic life as a certain step to ward the reduction of fatalities resulting from automobile opera tion. "The Safety League believes in compliance with traffic regula " tioos, ordinary courtesies of the road and proper maintenance of automobiles," j Mr. Zosel explained.

Mr. Weinman's crop sut-' f ered from the depredations of the onion fly this summer, and most of thej loss Is directly trace- J aDie to tne neavny soasea heaver- dam wnerein tne nies eaten tneir young. The high! water of last spring, which stood seven, to ten feet deep en the valuable land, cans- ert the land farthest 'from the main community drain ditch to sink and thereby restrain the ac- cumulated underground water. The new drain ditches,, dug ap proxicately two and one-half feet deep, will overcome this difficul ty, Ditching a piece of beaverdam land is a scientific piece of busi ness, requiring considerable ex perlence. There are two types oi underground channeling: the tile, and the wooden box, 10 to 14 feet long. The tiles o boxes are laid in the trenches which are irradid to allow the brooer How and are then covered over with the dirt from the trenches. Proper drainage Is the highest essential for this type of land, and other local onion men are contem- Jlatlnrtt arteries and the installation or new ones.
