Editor Praises
Oregon Weather
There is no special virtue in
sidestepping the fact that it rains
occasionally in Oregon, according
to a recent editorial appearing in
the Eugene Register.
In fact, the Register is inclined
to think that the name "Mistland"
chosen by the Oregon Growers Co
operative Association to advertise
Oregon fruits and berries and
especially prunes, is most proper.
Editorially the Register says:
"The finalities that make Oregon
fruit especially desirable are the
direct results of the Oregon cli
mate. Its richness of flavor and its
beauty of appearance are com
pounded out of the mild, misty
winters and the brilliantly sunny
summers that are characteristic of
Oregon, and the part that is played
by the Oregon mists In this alch
emy of nature is fully as Important
as the part that is played by the
sun.
"The sun is the ripener. It paints
the crimson glories of the Spltzen
berg apple and the du'.ry blue
black of the prune. It touches th
loganberry with its hue of purple
and flushes the red cheek of the
Royal Anne cherry.
"But it is the Oregon mist, with
its assurance of abundant 'mois
ture in the soil and proper humid
ity in the air, that gives to gorge
ously colored apple and prune, ber
ry and cherry, the juiciness and
flavor that makes of them the de
lights to the palate that they are."

Asked by Farmer
Frank Barnett the Burner farm
er is quite indignant at the lack of
co-operation extended by the O. A.
C. to farmers. He sent them some
samples of material he proposed
to use as a fertilizer and asked as
to Its value and suitability and has
been referred to a private chemist
to find out at his own expense
The reply of the O. A. C. follows.
"Mr. Frank Barnett, Burner,
Oregon. Dear Sir: You letter of
December 10 addressed to O. A. C.
has been referred to this depart
ment for attention.
"For the- analysis and valuation
of the material in question we ore
obliged to refer you to a commer
cial chemist, Mr. E. P. Harding,
602 Worcester building, Portland,
Oregon, doubtless will do whatever
analytical work you desire at a
reasonable charge. I would :up
gest, however, that you inform him
as to the nature of each particular
sample. He naturally would want
to know their origin and any use
that is being made of them at the
present time. Information of that
kind would help him to reach some
conclusion In placing a value on
whatever ingredients he might find
contained in the sample.
"Yours very truly,
"J. S. JONES.

Dallas Knights
Entertain Wives
at Special Meet
Dallas, Ore., Dec. 18. -The en
tertainment given at the K. of P.
hall last evening by the local
Knights for the purpose of enter
taining their wives and celebrating
the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers
in America was attended about by
about 75 Knights and their ladies.
One of the charter members, John
Ford, who has been a member of
the K. of P. for more than 25
years, presided at the meeting.
The entertainment was opened
by singing "America" followed by
a quartette that sang "Pilgrim
Fathers." Several musical num
bers were rendered later in the
evening.
The principal address was given
by Glen O. Holman who dwelt
forcibly upon the teachings and
conduct of the Pilgrim Fathers
and particularly endeavoring to
show that the Pilgrim Fathers who
came here preaching freedom in
the worship of God were in reality
persecutors, as they were radically
insistent upon the religious ideals
of their particular creed being pre
dominant. A banquet was served to those
people present after which some
of the older members were called
upon to give some funny stunts
among which was sung "Johnny
Smoker" by A. V. R. Snyder and
"The Baptist Sermon" by Glen O.
Holman.
This is the first entertainment
the Knights have given thus far
for their wives and friends and it
is expected that they will be 'con
ducted in the future three or four
'times annually.
