Spence, Market Agt. Some months ago a State Mar- ket Agent bulletin gave some in- teresting figures regarding the world’s potato raising record on theFrederiek Rindge big ranch at Stockton, where 982 H bushels of potatoes, high grade stock, were raised on one acre. Mr. Rindge has 1500 acres o f potatoes and the average of the whole tract was 600 bushels to the acre. The crop was valued at more than one mil­ lion dollars; he purchased 800,- 000 burlap sacks, 17 tractors, 75 head o f work animals and 500 menwere employed during the rush work. But now comes something fur- ther in connection with this story. C. R. Briggs, county agent, at Corvallis, followed it up and he learned from California that the .seed used by Mr. Rindge was largely from Oregon, and the Burbank variety. Some other seed vareities were used but they did not produce as high as the Oregon seed. The State Market Agent be- I lieves that Oregon can develop a 1 big market fo r seed potatoes if Growers will give the matter of grading careful attention and sell stock that is free from disease, j California is a big seed market be- cause o f the fact that the stock there is largely sold for early po- •j. i tatoes and they get their seed * from other states. * * "Phey would weigh IS to 24 pound, each* The school program at the Currins- vdle school on April 30 was a decided iJCCeM M was the box supper Our . , . , . . . teachers are t0 he Prai*ed for thls work Mr. and MrS- j 0j,n Richards o f Spr- ingwater bought and moved into the prjperty made vacant by Chas.

Superstitions don’t last long,especially w h e n it costs m o n e y to believe in them . For exam ple, the majority o f western motor­ ists have long since stopped paying tribute to the superstition that there is something mys­ teriously “ better” about “ eastern” motor oils merely because they cost more and are made in the East. Zerolene is First Choice o f Western Motorists Zerolene lubricates more motor cars in the Pacific Coast states—high and low priced cars alike—than any other oil m ad e. Six out o f the •even trophies in the 1924 Yosemite Economy Run were won by Zerolene-lubricated cars. The “ anti-western” oil bogie simply doesn’t hold up. Zerolene increases gasoline mileage, reduces upkeep costs and lengthens engine life, in high priced cars and motor trucks alike. Why pay tribute to a superstition?
