In the other, the colonization agent for a large religious organiza tion was offered an Irrigation pro ject, supposedly worth $100,000 at baslr land prices, for the sum of J 18.000. which the company had al regdy invested in Improvements. The rompany expected to make the project worth a million dollars, but failed to finance It for a very good reason. The weather records, which it:ey had overlooked, contained the answer, and the colonisation agent turned the offer down. The sum mers are so short and the nights so cool as to threaten evi n bai ley and flax as regular rropa.

Place at the Top Andrew t'arnegle said: "I would not give a fig fur the young man In business who does not already see himself a partner or the head of the Arm." Do not rest for a moment m your thought of yourself as a bead clerk, foreman or manager. In uny concern, no matter how big It Is. Say to yourself each day, "My place is at the top." Be kln In your dreams. Vow that you will reach the position you long to nt tu i it with untarnished reputation, and make no other vow to distract your attention. No matter what business you may he In, yottr prime HUihltlon should be to attain high water marks. The love of ex cellence Is the star thut leads the world onward.- lnspi ntlon.

The profitable crop rotation in Ore gon contains a cash crop such as wheat, a legume crop, a cultivated manure rrop and a llvestork feed crop, grouped to distribute farm la bor as evenly as possible. The small grain is disked in following the row crop, and followed by clover which may be turned under for the new row crop. This does away with plow ing for two years and makes only two plowlngs in the four years to com plete the rotation.
