MANY OREGON FARMERS TO KEEP FARM RECORDS COPIES OF RECORD .BOOK DE SIGNED TO MEET OREGON CON DITIONS READY FOR DISTRI BUTION. Farm record books for 3000 of the 10.000 Oregon farmers expected by the Oregon bankers to keep farm re cords next year, are now off the press and ready for distribution through the county agents. The record book was designed by its author, R. V. Gunnfarm management demonstra tor at the College, to meet Oregon farm conditions, and makes provision for the following items: Receiptf and expenditures in. Chro nological order on opposite pages, in ventory for beginning and end of year summary showing net returns, farm nroducts used by family, plat of farm crop yields and acreage, breeding re. cords with gestation table, general memoranda, and table of weights and measures. - All receipts are entered in one co lumn as are all expenditures from which totals can be determined at end of month or year. Additional colums are ruled vertically for classifying the items, either at the time of entry or later as the farmer finds leisure. Totals are carried forward to next page and entered in prepared spaces at the top of the columns. j " The inventory record wilf include value of farm lands, buildings, live stock, machinery, feed and supplies. The book consists of 30 pages note book ruled paper, letter size, with ad ditional vertical Wings for variqus items, all bound in manilla covers. WASlN THE THICK OF FIGHT right. " The Doctor Js around now and he seems to be a fine fellow hear he is from Oregon, so that accouits for it. If I get a chance I will speak with him and see if he is "anywhere near Salem, ' Oregon. Have . written to Earl but never heard from him. Just heard from one of the patients that the 40th division was busted up and the bnys.ut in different outfits, so guess that's why he never answered, as he probably never received my let ter. . Have never seen any one from near home in Kansas, but have seen several boys from Oregon. Saw Harry T. the night I left my Company. He was a stretcher bearer and I saw him at the First Aid Station in a church, Well I must close, as I ve sat up now until mv leps are numb.

' I Agricultural College, Cor- vallis, December 18 Imported clover ppd with wheih much of the plant W m Oreeon will beidone his year is likely to contain dodder or other weed pfsts, and should be tested ior and e-ermination before being sown, explains B. F. Shoehan, of the College farm crops department. "Heavy annual losses occaesioned by planting poor seed are within the control of the buyer," h declares. Many of our poor stands and weedy fields are the result of planting poor eoA Farmers intending fto make. nvKvnnrv T)lantin3 should get sam ples early and have them tested. Clover grown in the xaKima vaney , Woohino-tnn is likely to contain some dodder, one of ,the worst weeds that can be introduced into the larm. rinvpr seed containing dodder should be passed up . The onlysure way to determine its presence isr to nave w seed tested. , Much seed sown in Oregon will be brought in from the eastern states, r.,,tnh will introduce many noxious" weeds". The farmer can protect him self by having a sample tested. A fair sample may be obtained and sent to the seed testing laboratory of the Oregon - experiment station. Cor vallis. The seed will be tested for purity and germination free of charge A test will give thh kind and number of weeds seeds and the percent of via ble seeda in the sample. Somewhere in France, Nov. 10 Dear Brother and Sister: Well I can't tell you just where ! am, but at the present I occupy a lit tle steel bunk in a hospital back of the lines. . Was'nt wounded, but was shell shocked and have been sick ev er since. Lots of the boys are sick so many wounded. This last Farmers who were bothered by th aphide which killed all the vetcfc crop and the garden peas last sum mer will be interested to know tbl lady bugs are now being collected and will be distributed over the val ley in hopes that they will kill tlQ aphids or planjt lice. , The hauns of the lady bug have been discovered by forest rangers and the bugs are being gathered and placed in cold storage at the labora tory of the bureau of entomoloyg at Forest Grove, until next summer when the aphide commence to devour the farmers' grain. A. C. Burrill, in charge of the laboratory, visited th6 district forest office and has ' conferred with A. J. Jaenickle insect specailist, regarding further co-operation between the bu reau and the forest service. Mr. Bur rill has just returned from an agri cultural survey of Western Washing ton. In one Sistrict alone he found the damage to be $1,000,000. Few lady bufcs are found west of the Cascades and t will be necessary to transport them across the moun tains to the infested areas. . Dr. Tre vor Kincald, head of the department of zoology of the University of Wash ington, has noted only a few locations in the Oliympia peninsula where the lary bug grows. Most of the, lady bug catches have ! been located east of the Cascade Mountains. From Canada to Calif or niathey thrive in abundance. In the Wenatchjfee national forest "the larg est stores have been found, although the largest single catches were locat ed on the east side of Mount Rainier, where from 30 ,to 100 quarts were found, The bugs do not thrive west of the Cascades because of the damg ness, which causes a fungus to gr9 upon their backs which kill them", cording to scientists. Collecting of the beetles wil be l and : drive was hell. Went so fast our) .. . , ... h t rt twgj Chow could not keep up and we had. . distributing the insects na3 one-half meal and eighty hours.Then ' mmer first consideration will W nftpr we went in support, we got one Ito two meals a day and slept in rain and mud.. I could'nt eat on account of my stomachbeing up-side down, so got so weak I had to quit. But there were lots bigger huskies tnan l qun too. ' . Ate three meals in eight days and ' . 1 hiked 25-K, carrying my pacK anu fighting our way through machine guns. We were suposed to be reliv ed in forty-eight hours, DUjt tne aivi sion could'nt catch us, so of course we kept going. Well it was a great experience, but I can see now wny an -araT vpteran is so patriotic. Its V IV " sure bad to see your comrades so beside vou..

Fvorvhodv here says will never see the front again and I hope they are cm van th immediate region where the bugs were located, according to Mr. Burrill, and no bugs wilj be trans nnrted out of a region where found, unless an abundant- supply remains. t t t -, AN EXPLANATION.
