a home ut i!h were compelled to
rent a small house on an adjacent
farm.
During 1923 thirty six acre were
cropped, producing 24 ton of nl
ralra. 26 tons of clover hay, 43 buah
Is of cloi.-r seed, 160 bushel of
h.irtei, 106 bushels of wheat, and
considerable pasture A family gar

They started the aeaaon of 1923
with 3n0 purebred Kngllsh While
Leghorn chicken. The receipts
from egga, baby chicks and cockrela
amounted to somewhat more than
$1,000 net In addition they had
Ave milch cows, 2 heifers, and a
team. The cream checks, receipts
from the sale of the clover aeed,
etc., brought the grosa returns to
over $3,500 and, after deducting all
expenaea, taxes and overhead, the
total net return was about $2,000.

Two instanres of losses of thi. kind
have recently come to the att ntlon
of weather offlrials.
In one rase, about 50 families of
emigrant, having a rommon lang
uage and social experience, moved
Into what waa supposed to be a dry
farming section without properly
considering the weather records.
That ill. trot hoc me prominent dur
ing the next few years, when the emi
grants failed lo pet rropB for want of
rain and were forced to move at a
great loss.
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.
