The Helling weight remains the same for all wheat, but the test weight varies with tho quality, which determines its grade and price. The test weight is prescribed by the bureau of markets, federal de partment of agriculture, and to be fair must be made exactly as pre scribed. "Light weight wheat, 54 or 56 pounda per bushel, is not so desirable for milling as similar wheat having a test weight of CO pounds. The heavier wheat usually is more plump and yields more flour. Mills occasionally pay more for pinched wheat than plump, as it has a higher gluten content and is reeded to strengthen the flour output But the tendency in many cases has been to pay more for the feoft. starohv wheat that could be blended with the pinched wheat to weaken the gluten content.''

With a total of 18,330 returned soldiers given em ployment, the Canadian Pacific rail way has achieved a record which its officials consider its very best. Of the company's employes, 11,062 en listed, 1100 were killed 2088 were wounded and 7008 who .applied for reinstatement were employed. Ev ery man who volunteered was prom ised a Job as good as the one he left, if he returned, and this promise was made good. Furthermore, ev ery volunteer was given six months' pay. Since the war ended 11,322 soldiers who had not been employed previously by the company were placed on its payrolls, in addition to the 7008 above mentioned, making a grand total of 18,330 veterans now in the company's service. gome 870 Canadian Pacific volun teers won medals and decorations, including two Victoria crosses, 17 distinguished service orders, three distinguished services crosses, 54 military crosses, one legion of honor and 12 croix de guerre. u l;nol,ler8 anrJ security iiuiw L, h do not appear upon the booKfl Wk nn,l company as trustees, hold u "u security in a uupm-'". man affiant has no reason to believe Arm .jt . ntnf f irn. j ui.nur person, assuti""""i wporation has any interest dj- im 1 1 1 1 " rerx in inn bhui p""' vitioa fhnn as SO By him.

Beginning this year the department of military science and tactics offers to students a ' major course carrying with graduation a commission in the reserves. The course is intended to prepare stu dents for examination for commis sions in the regular army. The R O. T. C. will be commanded by Major R C. BairdT Major Baird, who was commandant last year, re ceived a promotion in the regular service a month ago. His new com mission dates from July 1. During the war Major Baird held the rank of lieutenant-colonel, but was mus tered out as a captain. A new ruling of the department Is that all cadets must deposit $10 be fore drawing a uniform. If the uni form is returned in good condition the money is refunded. s The new woman's building, which has been under course of construct ion since last August, is nearing completion. The west end, in which are class rooms and a gymnasium, will be ready for use by the depart ment of physical education for wo men by November 1. The alumni hall and the main stairway in the east end of the build ing will be the last to be finished. As soon as the grounds surround ing the building can be cleared the hockey field will be put into condi tion, as well as the new tennis courts and a field for archery. The enlargement of the library to the point where law students will be enabled to do most of their study ing will be one of the chief aims of the law department this, year,accord ing to Dean Hale, the new head of the law school. An appropriation of $5000 for the library has been ob tained, a large part of which has been expended already for books which are expected to arrive short ly. Lack of room is one of the main handicaps to the department, Dean Hale states. But efforts are being made to relieve the congestion. One of the most remarkable things about th registration of students at the university this year, according to Mrs. George Fitch of the registrar's office, is the number of student? en rolling from other states. Approxi mately 160 students are coming to Oregon this year with advanced standing from other colleges. This is a gain of 83 1-3 per cent over that of last year. Religious organizations . working under the auspices of the Y. M. C A. will give special courses in religious education in the university, open to both men and women. The courses are non-sectarian. Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara, L. L. D, will deliver the first course, which is called "Christian Ethics. "Masterpieces of Religious Literature" is the title of a series of lectures to be delivered by Rev. Bruce J. Giffen, M. A., B. D. Beginning in January Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, Dr. S. C. KoWs and others will offer a course in the history and culture of the Hebrew people.

General representation of the Pa cific northwest in the rivers and harbors conference which opened in Portland on Monday bespeaks the importance that is attached to trans portation as one of the. necessities of national life and prosperity, and to harbors and waterways 'aB means of water transportation. The people of the United States, have, realized in the last few years that their fu ture is on tho sea, and they logical ly aid the rivers. The railroad's are unequal to the task of carrying all of the nation's interior traffic, and the people justly demand that the government make good the railroad's deficiencies by improving the means of water transportation by sea -nd river. , ' , , ; It is proper that the states of the Pacific northwest should act as a unit geographically r.nd economic ally. The greater part of this em pire is drained by the Columbia river and its tributaries, and it 'can gain easiest and cheapest access to the sea by improvement of those Water ways. The ports which are not in the Columbia basin have an ample field of commerce and have a com mon interest with it in the fact that they are in the same group of states, having like products and trading in the same markets. By themselves they can gain much less than is pos sible by uniting their forces with those of the Columbia basin. The time is propitious for water way development, not only because of the need to supplement the rail roads but because we are at the op ening of a too long delayed period of waterpower development. By linking power use with navigation use of rivers, canalization can be pushed forward at points where con struction of dams for one of those purposes alone would be financially impracticable. That partnership would bring many other vast bene fits, which would soon make the Pa cific northwest one of the ' most prosperous, best populated sections of the country. Oregonian. STRAW WORTH ONE-TENTH OF HAY FOR FEEDING Scores of straw stacks have been burned the last few. weeks in the Wil lamette valley, a profligate waste of feed, litter, nitrogen and organic matter, according to W. L. Powei's, chief of soils at the Oregon Agricul tural college experiment station. Mr. Powers quotes- E. L. Potter, animal husbandry head, to the effect that the feeding value of oat straw is $1 a ton when hay is selling at S10 a ton. In actual test at tho eastern Oregon branch station, at ifnion, plenty of straw roughage supple mented by a two-pound cotton seed cake per heed per day, carried stock through the winter in good condition. The digestible nutrients of straw compared with those of oat and vetch hay are given by Henry in "Feeds and Feeding," as about two- thirds as much in fats, fully as mucb in carbohydrates and one-sixth as much in crude protein, says Powers. Clover straw contains as much car bohydrates and about two-thirds as much fat and protein as oat and vetch hay. The feeding value of the straw may be preserved in western Oregon by use of straw sheds. "The nitrogen contained in straw is too valuable to be sent off ' into the clouds," says Professor Powers. "Figured at fertilizer prices, 25 cents a pound, a ton of oat straw contains $2.90 worth of nitrogen." The value of nitrogen in one ton of other straws is barley, $2.80; wheat, $2.50; rye, $2.40; clover straw $6.00. "The rotting effect of straw is needed in western Oregon soils," Pro fessor Powers declares. "This decay is associated with the activity of beneficial bacteria. "Active decaying organic matter is needed on most of our soils as it releases phosphorus, potash and oth er plant foods from its own sub stances and from the mineral par ticles of soils. It mellows the soil and increases its sponginess and its capacity for retaining usual mois- jture. j "Our worn grain lands and heavy soils of western Oregon more often need organic matter than mineral plant foods.'' Straw should not be left to occupy tillable land, says Professor Pow ers. Neither is it often . justifiable to burn it to destroy weeds. The following practice is recommended: By use of a straw shed or exer cise shed straw can be fed or used as bedding to absorb and convey li quid manure back to the land. Or by means of a straw spreader, it can be scattered over the grain fields of the farm, where it may be disked and plowed under. The early heavy rains of this fall will help greatly in hastening decay of the organic materials where they were weir cut with the disk before being plowed into the wet soils.
