He's a biking through Eastern Oregon, and has just explored Grande Rondo valley and the Wallowa country. Mr. Lockley has been contributing some interesting articles for tho Oregon Daily Journal. Fifty acres of E. A. Dudley's crop on Spring Hollow, threshed with a combine, yielded about 45 bushels per acre, and the remaining 170 acres was fully as good, although badly lodged.

He expeccts to return with his family to California. Reports from Reservation Moun tain, south of town, are to the effect that the grain is so badly lodged that the loss will be extensive. It is be ing harvested with great difficulty, horse-power combines being the most effective machines employed, but even these cannot save more than 75 per cent. So slow is the heading and stacking that machine men charge $3.75 per acre for this service, as against $1.50 an acre paid under or dinary circumstances.

Weston. Aug. 29. Tho Eastern Or egon State Normal school is again without a president. James K. Anient, of the Alva. Oklahoma, normal, was elected to this place and had agreed to come for the coming term, hut he has now sent word to the regonta mat no cannot come as he has been prevailed upon to remain whore ho is This loft the regents In somewhat of a hole, as they were depending upon Professor Ameut until a few days ago. Now thnt he has decided not to take the position, tho regents have to look elsewhero for a man to fill the vacancy. The board will meet next Monday to select a man. Several ap plications aro Jn for tho placo. The 1902-3 term will open at tho normal on tho 8th of Soptember with very bright prospects for tho future The school's commodious new build ing will remedy the lack of suitable accommodations which has handi capped the faculty and patrons in tho past. It is expected that tho school will open with a larger attendance than over before. Many inquiries have been received from young peo ple in different parts of tho country who are thinking of coming hero to receive an education. With the ex ception of tho president, the faculty Is complete and are educators with years of experience. Stubble vs. Summer Fallow. Farmers almost universally agree that summer fallow this season is turning off a poorer yield than stub ble. Chester Avery got 25 bushels per acre off of stubble that was put in with a cutter. Monroe Childors got 23 bushels from stubble, while Reuben Taylor's summer fallow, said to be about the best In tho vicinity, only went 20 bushels. College men began to preach years ago that sum mer fallow was not good for tho land and it will probably turn out that they were right. Corvallls Times. An Invitation.
