COVXTY AGENT'S NOTES 4
Victory Gardens
Last year It was "War Gardens."
This year it is "Victory Gardens.
There is just as much occasion for
the back yard garden as last year.
Besides the satisfaction of one being
able to go into the garden and pick
fresh vegetables to use, there is an
enormous demand across the Beas
tor all kinds of food so that wher
ever we can produce our own eat-
ibles that leaves the larger produc
tion for canning and drying to be
shipped.
Some of the newer grounds that
were planted last year and did not
produce a remunerative crop may
he In condition to do better this year.
Some of our garden soils here need
more humus. Get as many leaves
and much barn yard manure as pos
sible and, work these well into the
ground Just as soon as the ground Is
dry enough. Do not work ground
while wet. Tt will hake and get
hard and lumpy.

Connty Agent.

FACES NEW PROBLEMS
. Oxford, Eng., Mar. 3. Oxford
university is once again alive after
four years of war quietude. Twelve
hundred undergraduates are in resi
dence, many still in khaki, some on
crutches, others lacking a .limb.
Rhodes scholars are expected to ar
rive in record numbers very soon.
Problems face the authorities how
ever. Overcrowding is feared,
changes of education" are demanded,
and already a large proportion of the
students want to take up chemistry
and science while a still larger por
tion are studying history Instead of
classics. The authorities are said to
be perturbed at the upheaval facing
them.

T SHOWS DECLINE
IN OIL PRODUCTION
San Francisco, Mar. 4. The '. re
porting of only 80 wells' ready to
drill up to the middle ot February
as against 112 tor the same, period
last year will make a noticeable' de
cline in the state's production ot
oil If the condition continues, ac
cording to the California State Min
ing Bureau. The report says:
"The flush production of the no
longer new Montebello and Casmalla
fields masked this condition tempor
arily. However, the history of oil
field development, even If present
production data of the Montebello
and Casmalia fields were not avail
able, should warn operators against
counting too heavily upon .Initial
productive conditions.
'"Rapid decline of gas pressures
and improper drilling, with respect
to protection from water, are two? of
the principal causes which prevent
oil fields from maintaining their
brilliant Initial records.
"Gas pressures can be controlled
to a large extent, and there expul
sive powers conserved, by the pro
per drilling and preparation of wells
for production. However, the su
pervisor has on a number of occa
sions directed popular attention to
the fact that even the new fields of
the state have not been drilled In a
manner best to conserve the petro
leum resources and protect them
from water.

SEN. EDDY EXPLAINS
LIEUT. GOVERNOR BILL
An erroneous opinion Is held by
many In regard to the bill for the
establishment of the office of lieuten
ant governor, according to Senator
B. L. Eddy, says the Roseburg News.
It is not proposed, he states, to have
the office filled permanently, only
during the time that the legislature
Is In session or during the absenru
of the governor. During the tlm?
tbat the lieutenant governor woul.i
be required to serve, he. would be
paid the sum or $10 per day, but this
salary would hold only during tho
time tbat the senate was In session
or during such time that he was re
quired to fill the gubernatorial
chair. An objection has been made
to the bill on the grounds that the
salary would be $3,600 per year, but
this is a mistaken Impression, Sen
ator Eddy states, as he would draw
a salary for only a few weeks out
of the year.
The lieutenant governor, If ap
pointed by the people, will be presi
dent of the senate, and In case of
the death, sickness or absence of
the governor, will take the position
of that executive.
