CAMPBELL SYSTEM MISNAMED.
No Reason Exists for Calling It "Dry
Fanning."
H. W. Campbell, the man who is
responsible for all this dry farming
bombast, says that the system Is real
ly misnamed. It should really be call
ed wet farming, for plenty of moisture
is secured wherever the system Is ap
plied. "We have a number of farms
In different sections of the dry coun
tries." he says, "but no drouth Is visi
ble on any of them."
The Campbell system, as It is called,
Is scientific soil culture and Is not so
complex as It has been made to ap
pear In attempted descriptions. It Is
not a scheme that owing to Its com
plexity can only be applied to a garden
spot. It cam be used on a quarter or
half section farm with little If any
more expense to labor and machinery
than Is required to cultivate the same
mount of ground In Illinois or Indi
ana. The pnncpies appicu i
eastern farm that we use on our ex
periment farms in Colorado would
greatly Increase the yield from those
farms. Field and Farm.

RAILROAD SIGN LANGUAGE.
Japanese Laborers on O. R. & N
Trucks Learn 'Directions In Unique
Way.
It being often difficult for the
white section foreman to teach late
ly-arrived Japanese section hands
the directions or points of the com
pass by tne nam-;s, east or west, they
are forced to report to unique meas
lire? of niak'ns themselves under1
stood.
For Instance a section foreman on
the Mountain division of the O. R.
N., having a "green crew" of Japs,
none of whom could speak or under
stand English, could not make the
know which way to drive the rail
by the words "east" or "west" In fix
Ing the track. For a week he puz
zled his mind over a means of teach
Ing the Japs the directions, as It was
necessary to say which direction
drive rails, when It was often Im
possible to make tlgns.
Hy chance he learned that th
Japs knew in which way lay Idaho,
and they also knew where Portland
was situated and so he decided
tench them by these words to know
the directions.
When he wanted to drive a ra
east he would yell "Ida-HO" to the
crew and Immediately the entl
force would respond to his com
mand. If the rail was driven too far
east and It was necessary to drive
back a bit, he would shout "Port
LAND,-' and again tho Japs would
wheel about and drive the rail west,
and so by these two words he com
manded his little army of "green
Japs until they learned the English
wcrds.

DAMAGE TO HOP CROPS.
High Water Does Immense Damage
In Willamette.
The greatest damage done by the
recent high water In the Willamette
was Drobably sustained by the hop
men along the bottom lanus an aiong
the river and tributary streams, says
the Salem Journal.
Above Independence the big yards
developed by Krebs Bros., were very
badly disturbed. The high water
not only flooded the yards, but tore
nn hundreds of the heavy poles car
rylng the wires. This resulted In the
wires becoming an awrui mass oi
junk. .
The poles will have to pe reset ana
the wires restrung, and in many in
stances they will have to be replaced
v.!th new material, as the old poles
have floated away, and the wires Be
come so tangled as to be useless. In
the Krebs yard alone the loss Is esti
mated at $1000.
