gardless of how many pounds the
wheat weighs to the bushel. 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.''

EX-SOLDIERS GET JOBS
ON CANADIAN PACIFIC
Montreal, P. Q. 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

MILITARY TRAIlMlMn takes
FIRST RANK AT UNIVERSITY
University of Oregon, Eugene
Military training now ranks among
the major departments in the uni
versity. 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.
