Indications are for slightly reduced potato acreage in Oregon. Reports fiom bp vers I counties show a decrease whue Ln.ati.ia, Josephine, and Crook counties report increased acreage. lteports from Yakima indicate that considerable frozen out nifnifn ground will be seeded to potatoes, mnterin increasing their acreage. The 1WJ4 yield reports from several Oregon counties gave range of from 10 to 000 bushels per acre. Most reports indicate greater emphasis on seed im provement, and better methods whereby growers are reducing costs of production. The 1!!4 U. R. acreage was smal ler, but increased yield per acre gave ennrmom production nnd very low prices. Indications are that fewer acres will produce sufficient for do mestic dciminds. A larger portion of potatoes ia being grown In especially The marked return to favor of mill coust ruction for factories and ware houses is accounted for by the facts regarding such construction. These are summed up in the sixth chapter of the National Lumber Manufactur ers association's notable fire preven tion series, which it a part tf the cumulative work on "Lumber and Its Utilization," the technical chtsbis on this subject. The demand for mill construction has occasioned a widespread desire among architects, engineers, indus trial executives, building officials, contractors and others, for complete and authoritative information on the subject. Accordingly tfc engineers and ar chitects of the. National Lumber Manufacturers association have made a careful Bttidy, from which results the present chapter on "Fire Safe In dustrial Buildings" and the following one on "I'etails of Heavy Timber Construction." The former is now ready for distribution tn booklet form. It is being sent to ail persons who have applied for the previous chap ters of "Lumber and Its Utilization" as weii ns to certain professional ilsts. A copy will be forwarded gratis, os application, to manufacturing com panies, interested professional men and industrial executives. It is in no sense an advertising publication but is purely technical and educational. The booklet points out men! era heavy .timber construction is 'a new type which has only recently reacneo its present high state of develop ment." For that reason many indus trial executives, architect and engi neers hare not realized that it may supply precisely the type of indus trial construction te meet uieir pe culiar requirements. Among the ad vastages claimed for heavy timber construction are: Economy of fixed investment, rapidity f buuduag. inde pendence during erection or seasonal weather conditions, slow burning or fire resistance Quality. Other advantage claimed for mill or heavy timber, slow burning con struction are: 1. It is peculiarly adaptable to changes. 2. It offers more convenient sur faces for the attachment of machui rv. shaftiria and pulleys. S, It encourages improvements In operation because it does not require expenditures for enrage which ex ceed in value the expected benefits, 4. Automatic sprinkler equipment is easily adjusted ajid economically mamtftined. 6. The floor have a resiliency that makes faster machine operation possible without the damaging effect of impacts ruining the machiues. G. Overloaded floors are easily discernible and the toad may be re distributed before rupture takes nlace. allowing structural members to spring back to normal position. i "I ro?

PIPER EXERCISE NEEDED BY EWES,- Oregon formers are takine a more aetive interest in the probable total nroduetion. the probable consumption, the exportable surplus, and the price trends of the particular commodities they produce. To help them understand the sltuar tion as it exists now, as well a lt nresent trend, facts bearing on it hnve been assembled by a committee of the extension service under the .tirnction of Ii. S.

As a whole, the agricultural ok fur li-5 is moro fnvorable than it has been for five years. The pur chasing power of farm products more nearly balances the cost of thing formers buy than it has at any time thi-ring this iirrind.

Yakima's re ported losses range from -5 per cent upwards. Seriom !h has occurred Imaitlla and Morrow counties.

Outlook is for short age of hay. provided normal feeding Expression of individuality Is the soul of design in home building. The well ordered floor plan betrays kwa sense of order in tho mind of the builder. Lack of standardisation lends courage to art. 1 And so, if ran dont like the lay out of the rooms shown In the floor plan submitted by the architect you should feel at liberty to suggest changes. You mast live In the house, and the architect escapes even the memory of his errors. This four-room ground floor adapts itself readily to certain modifications. The garage may bo moved away from the side of the bedroom without much trouble, if you don't want It there, and windows m&y be built into the blank wall. The back bedroom could be en larged and the bathroom as well, without violating the ethics of laud able structural purposes. Loft as it the house would find favor with many small families. The kitchen is of ample size and tha breakfast nook is conveniently placed. There is plenty of wall space in the living room and the fireplace helps make it cozy.
