Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­ vallis.—“ There ha» been an enormous increase In the production of eggs and poultry In the state In the past two years, but In spite of this the demand has far exceeded the supply, and prices are still as high as ever," said Pro­ fessor James Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural College In discussing the abject of the present tour of the poul­ try demonstration car sent out over the Southern Pacific lines by the col­ lege. “If the farmers of Oregon would keep, on an average. 100 hens Instead ot about 50, it would shut out the Im­ ports and add $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 a year to the wealth of the state. “ The purpose of the demonstration ar Is to stimulate a greater production af poultry and eggs. The quickest and best way Is to increase the flocks of the farmers rather than to have poul­ try keepers start large egg farms. The demand cannot be met by the estab­ lishment of large, exclusively poultry farms. If the general farmer goes out af the egg producing business there will soon be an egg famine— possibly a serious financial panic. “ Though there are opportunities for profit along special lines In poultry­ keeping, the market for specialties is limited, and It would be folly to advise everyone to go Into special lines. I am free to confess that we have kept more people out of the poultry busi­ ness than have gone Into It as an ex­ clusive business. I have received great numbers of letters during the past year from all parts of the state as well as from other states, In which the writers stated that they were go­ ing into the poultry business on a large scale, and a large majority of them Bald they knew nothing of the busi­ ness. Our plain duty was to advise caution. If every one of them had gone Into the business as they Intend­ ed and Invested their all In It, It 1 b safe to say that there would have been thousands of dollars lost In every coun­ ty of the state, and the poultry busi­ ness would have received a black eye. "Poultry keeping Is not a difficult business unless we make It so. If conducted along sane, common-sense lines, there is profit In It The two points on which special emphasis Is laid In the demonstration car are feed­ ing for eggs and housing. Egg rations are on display, feeding charts show re­ sults of experiments, breeding charts show results of breeding for eggs, dif­ ferent grades and qualities of eggs are exhibited, marketing possibilities are demonstrated, and the equipment for successful hatching and brooding o( chicks Is displayed The walls of the car are covered with signs and charts containing lessons in practical poul­ try keeping. A ’knock down’ colony house Is taken along and set up out side the car at each stop. "While chickens may be made to lo well In different houses. It may be said In favor of the colony system and Tree range that there I b no noted poul­ try district In the United States where poultry keeping has been permanently successful, where the colony house system was not followed. The colony house, moreover, was the house used st the Oregon Experiment Station last year for the hens that made the high­ est egg records ever made in the Unit­ ed States so far as official or authentic record Is concerned. The demonstra­ tors on the car explain how those hens were housed and cared for, and answer m y questions as to their feeding and treatment.’’ I I I I I j I Ask your dealer for it.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­ vallis.—The growing of alfalfa on the dry farming lands of Oregon In culti­ vated rows for the production of seed aas been the special dry farming hob- oy of Prof. H. D. Scudder of the Ore­ gon Agricultural College. He has ad­ vocated thJs plan widely through Eaat- srn Oregon for the past five years, and Is beginning to see practical results in a large scale. A prominent wheat farmer at Arlington has planned to put In 160 acres of alfalfa on his dry land, and has asked the agronomy de­ partment of the college for special In­ fraction and fsP the best seed. A n - >ther man, one at «be largest wheat armers in Gilliam coanty, Is to put In .000 acres of alfalfa this spring. The rest number of letters coming to Prof. Scudder from all parts of Eastern and Central Oregon on this subject indi­ cates the first great change for the letter In dry farming agriculture there. Towns Wrecked By Storm in Tex­ as and Oklahoma. Oklahoma City—Thirty-one persons are reported to have been killed by a tornado that swept Southwestern Okla­ homa and the southeastern corner of the Texas panhandle late Sunday. A 'dozen towns were struck and farming communities suffered. Communication facilities are para­ lyzed andjit is impossible to confirm the reports o f life or estimate the proper­ ty damaged. The greatest loss o f life reported is at Lugert, where it is said 16 persons were killed. A specie) train sent from Altus with physicians and nurses picked up 10 injured persons and start­ ed back for Altus. Two o f the injured oneB died on the train. It is reported that a Kansas City, Mexico $ Orient train had been blown from tha track and 20 persons killed, but it developed that only two cars had been derailed and no one was hurt. The tornado started just across the Texas border and first killed Beveral persons at Kirkland, Tex., demolish­ ing 30 buildings, and blew a Rock Island work train off the track. Tearing on northward the storm ■truck Eldorado, killing four; Calumet, killing three; and Lugert, Rocky, where half the town is in rains; Yu­ kon, Warren, Martha, Blair and Lone Wolf. At each of these places many per­ sons were hurt. Several of those towns are cut off from communication. What is believed to be the tail o f the storm destroyed several buildings at Mulhall, 60 miles north o f Oklahoma City, but so far as known there were no casualties there.

Salinas, Cal. — Five highbinders broke into a room here where four Chinese were playing cards, shot three o f them dead, wounded the fourth ser­ iously and escaped. Murdered and murderers are alike unidentified. The wounded man will make no statemenL From the fact that none o f the com­ batants is known here, it is supposed that all o f them were tong warriors planning a raid on marked men, but that the second party, having learned the errand o f the first, tracked them to the room where .they were hiding, and shot them down. The police believe both parties come either from San Francisco or -Watson­ ville. Steamer Harvard Afire. Los Angeles— The steamer Harvard, o f the Pacific Navigation company, had a narrow ecaape from destruction by fire while lying at her dock at East San Pedro. There were no passengers aboard and no one waa injured. The total damage waa approximately $3000. The fire started in the galley from a defective oil pipe and it re­ quired an hour's work by the fire tug Warrior to extinguish the blaze. The entire galley and six staterooms on the main deck were destroyed. Mexicans Causa Wreck. Mexico City— The wreck o f the Mexico City-Guadalajara train last week near Irmpuato waa credited to the striking American railway men by newspaper reports in Guadalajara.

Washington, D. C.— Like the miss­ ing horseshoe nail that cost a monarch hia.kingdom, the failure to provide binoculars or spyglasses for the look-, outs on the Titanic waa one contribut­ ing cause of the ship’ s loss and with it the losa of more than 1600 lives. Two witnesses before the senate in­ vestigating committee agreed on this. They were Frederick Fleet, a lookout on the liner, and Major Arthur God­ frey Peuchen, Canadian manufacturer and yachtsman, who was among the rescued passengers. Fleet acknowledged that if he had been aided in his observations by a good glass he probably could have spied the berg in time to warn the bridge to avoid it. Major Peuchen also testified to the much greater sweep of vision afforded by binocu­ lars, and, as a yachtsman, said he be­ lieved the presence of the iceberg might have been detected in time to escape the collision had the lookout men been so equipped. It was made to appear that the blame for being without glasses did not rest with the lookout men. Fleet said they had asked for the glasses at Southampton and were told there were none for them. One glass, in a pinch, would have served in the crow’s nest. Major Peuchen condemned in Btrong terms the lack of experienced sailors on board the Titanic. He said that when the call to quarters was sounded not enough of the crew responded to undertake the work required in lower­ ing and filling the boats. Furthermore, he said, no drills had been held from the time the ship left Southampton, although it was custom­ ary to hold such drills every Sunday. Herbert J. Pittman, third officer of the Titanic, told o f his failure to turn back the lifeboat in which he and his passengers were idly drifting to at­ tempt the rescue o f sthers when the Titanic went down. Shuddering at the recollection, he said the cries for help made “ one long continuous moan.’ ’ The passengers insisted that to go back to aid them would mean their destruction, he said, so that after starting in the direction o f the cries, he rescinded his orders and waited for dawn. Twice he begged to be spared a recital of the facts, but Senator Smith pressed him. The witness said the moans and cries continued an hour and that he made no effort to go to the rescue. “ You drifted near the drowning people and made no effort to give them aid?” asked Senator Smith in surprise. “ Please, sir, don’t ,” pleaded Pitman. " I can’ t bear to recall it. wish we might not discuss the scene.” “ I have no desire to lacerate your feel­ ings,” said Senator Smith, “ but we must know whether you drifted there without offering aid. Answer that and I shall press you no more.” “ I did, sir,” answered the witness “ Did you ever hear anything of a boat known as the Hellig Olav?” sud­ denly asked Senator Smith. “ No, I did not. There may be a boat by that name.” The Olav docked at New York April 17, and is reported to have encounter­ ed an iceberg near where the Titanic sank. It has been suggested that the Olav may have been the boat whose lights Fourth Officer Boxhall saw and which he ineffectually tried to signal with distress rockets. By searching questions, Senator Fletcher brought out the fact that when the collision occurred the Titanic was going at the greatest speed attained during the trip, even though the ship was entering Grand Banks and had been advised o f the presence o f ice. "Y ou say you were going at 21} knots an hour at the time of the acci­ dent?” inquired Senator Fletcher. "Y e s, Bir. We left Southampton under about 20} knots, which waa in­ creased to 21 and later to 2 1 },” said Pitman. “ Then, when the Titanic crashed into the iceberg it was going at top speed?” inquired the senator. “ I suppose so, sir.” England Gives S 899.976. London — The Titanic disaster still holds first place in the public mind. The newspapers publish at great length thrilling details o f the evidence given before the senatorial committee in Washington, while the extraordi­ nary flow o f money to the relief fund is proof o f the wide felt sympathy. The Daily Mail fund, contributed ex­ clusively by women, amounts to $120,- 000; the Lord Mayor’s fund $646,000 and the Daily Telegraph’s $87,775. The fund at Southampton amounts to $72,700 and that at Liverpool $64,600. Lack o f Wirelqp* Fatal. Portland, Maine.— Had the freight steamer Lena been equipped with a wireless outfit, she could have reached the scene of the wreck of the Titanic in time to save many lives. The Lena, which arrived Wednesday from Eng­ land, waa within 30 miles of the Ti­ tanic when the great ship foundered and went down. Chief Officer Elias said that those on the Lena did not know o f the wreck until they took a pilot on board off Portland. Ohio Is Back in Banka.
