Work Regan 1918
In the summer of 1918, the first
certification work with grain was
started. Since that time, there has
hcjrra steadily increasing demand for
certification work with the following
results: L
First, many earloads fcf certified
seed have been sold within he state
and Come has been shipped outsldo of
tho htatn at a premium. This was a
source of direct financial gain to the
producers of the seed of good quality;
second, sources of seed of good variety
and practically free from mixture and
serious disease have been established
in several counties. It has assisted
materially In tho standardization of
the gruln of these communities.
. In tho fall or 1920, County Agent I.
A. Hunt, of Morrow County, tiniveled
with the writer 130 miles in one sec
tion one day nd was able to pass only

"A" wheat. The certification work of
this year has shown that as the result
of the previous work there has been a
largo Increase in the area of Turkey
Red wheat in the lighter sections of
Morrow County. The Turkey lieu in
Sherman County is more completely
occupying tho cultivated land of the
county; It Is becoming better estab
lished' In the drier sections of Wasco
County and in Umatilla County. Cer
tified Hybrid 12S occupies a largo part
of the Intermediate type of land In
Umatilla county, the dry land area
producing Turkey Red, and Intermed
iate Hybrid 128 and the Jenkins Club
being still grown to a considerable ex
tent on the aeavlcr and higher lands
where there Is more rainfall.
The Agricultural College. In carrying
out .this certification program, has
emphasized those varieties which tho
Kxperimcnt Stations have proved bent.
This, together with observations in
fields all over the wheat growing dis
tricts of tho state, make possible the
recommendations of varieties for dif
ferent localities that are likely to pro
duce the blBgest yield per acre.
Varieties To He Fewer
. It Is thought with continuation of
the Vrfloatlon proeram that the
I'hd nf Knstrrn Oreron will be
atandardized along the production of a
few varieties; namely, lurney uea
uwhri.1 i an winter wheat for both
irrigated and. dry conditions; Federa
tion and Hard Federation as spring
wheat for the ' Irrigated and for dry
conditions. It may be that Jenkins
Club and Red Chaff Club will be pro
h, 1x0,1 in anmu sections for a number
of years yet and it Is also possible that
Marquis will still retain a position 111

some attention Is Triplet, unless 11

agriculture of Eastern Oregon. Forty
fold, a splendid variety in a good many
sections, will probably be developed
very largely by Turkey Red and Hy
brid 12S, although some of the New
Forty Fold developed by the Eastern
Oregon Experiment Ration at Union
has given very good results. Vlth the
standardization of the wheat of East
ern Oregon on some four to six or
seven varieties there Is no question
In Ihe mind of the writer that there
will be a resultant Increase in the
average yield per acre of the Eastern
Oregon districts that will be noted on
from two to. in some sections as much
as five bushels per acre. And there
will be less, loss from mixed wheat.
The time for the growing of certified
seed wheat with the idea of shipping
It outside the utatc is largely past, ex
cept with newly Introduced varieties
that show a great deal of promise.
There will be for some time a necessity
for a continuation of the certification
work in order to establish In every
wheat growing community of Eastern
Oregon good local sources of pure seed
of the right variety In that community.

POET FINDS SOFTEST
(Ry International News Service)
CHIOOGO Discovered the world's
softest job. .
Robert Frost, New England poet,
has it All ho has to do is to live In
Ann Arbor, Mich., and let his artistic
influence flow out over the campus
and through the academic corridors
of tho University of Michigan..
For this he receives $5,000 a year.
And ho doesn't havo to instruct a
single class in the art of making
"blue" and "you" rhyme, with the
correc t number of feet to a line.
According to an announcement by
Dr. Marlon Liroy Uurton, president
ot tho university, Mr. Frost was rc-(
taincd as the beginning of a plan to
spread culture among the students
through the medium of personal con
tact rather than by classroom Instruc
tion. "The student body will benefit im
measurably merely by contact with n
treat and loving personality," said
: Dr. llurton. 'We desire only that the
artist shall be merely a human being.
This time wo have chosen a poet. He
I will come to live here in September
and remain for a year. Next timo we
may select a sculptor, a painter or a
scholar. A gift of $5,000 from former
Governor Chase S. Osborn has made
tho poet's visit possible."
The new venture has created a sen
sation in academic circles-here. Fol
lowing aro a few opinions expressed
by Chicago educatbrs.
"The experiment represents an in
teresting return to the patronage sys
tem of artists which broko down
about one hundred and fifty years ago.
It will be a great thing for Michigan."
Dean P. II. Hoynton of the Univer
sity of Chicago. '
"I think it would do the Institution
more, good if the poet would give in
struction in the form of regular class
work. Class work offers unparalleled
opportunity for personal contact and ;
Influence with the , students." Prof. I
C. H. Judd, Chicago University.
"It would be a great stroke of gcnl-1
