SHORT COURSES INVESTORS HAVE
PROTECTION
■
T h e fifteenth annual short courses
which opened at Corvallis, J a n u a r y
3d, were the largest enrollm ent ever
had. Sixty-two subjects were given.
G reat in terest is being displayed
in dairying and general farming.
Cheese making is a subject to which
fi-ve hours a day are
devoted.
Farm botany, drainage, mechanics,
disease and insects attacking field
crops, and o th er subjects especially
v d a p tt d to the man who is anxious
to improve his farm are all being
given consideration, nnd for the
man who desires to improve his
business methods there are lectures
on
book-keeping, and a rith m e
tic. Landscape gardening, for the
beautification of the farm and home
in town, will be taught. N u t and
g*ape culture, peach and cherry
culture, plant propagation and the
spraying of orchards are especially
stro n g courses.
B’or two hours
each day the college carpentry
shops will be given to tho short
course stu dents for a course in
woodworking.
F o r the women who enter the
sh o rt course in domestic science
and art there are nine branches of
stu d y , including dressmaking, fancy
cooking, th ree courses in food
p rep aratio n,
home
management,
millinery, the principles of lau n d er
ing and sewing, etc.
T h a t these courses are popular
and well attended is also evidenced
by the fact th n t the horticultural
d epartm ent reported two men who
came from Omaha, Nebraska, for
the short course work, a number
from B ritish Columbia, besides
large delegations
from different
sections of this state.
In many of the lecture courses
mimeographed r -'«•« o-
ie sub
stance of the lectures have been
prepared for distribution among
the stu dents th a t they may refresh
their memories on im portant points
after they retu rn to their homes.

To tak e steps systematically to
protect investors against wildcat
corporations in Oregon, Governor
West will call a meeting o f the
heads of the principal state depart
ments and the corporation clerk
d u rin g the latter part of this month
to discuss a bill to be subm itted to
the legislature. T h is was suggested
forcibly today to the governor as it
was th e date for him to act upon
the dissolution of old corporations
back in their dues. F iv e hundred
of these were disbanded.
“ Before the corporations are per
mitted to advertise for business in
O reg o n ,’’ said G overnor West to
day, “ they should be first required
to file with the corporation d ep art
m ent here at th e state house a full
statement of their assets, so eastern
people could get reliable informa
tion regarding their stability before
buying stock. This would protect
many investors who are hieing bu n
coed here as they are being buncoed
in m any states.”
“ K an sas has a good law for the
control of corporations. There they
have if in charge of th e banking
d epartm ent.
H ere, however, we
have a corporation departm ent
which could handle it. At the com
ing meeting we will have two or
three good attorneys present and
will thresh out the provisions of the
proposed bill.”
HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS
TO PROTECT GAME
I t is contemplated to establish a
system whereby competent trappers
and h u nters will be employed to
protect the lawful game from
cougars nnd wolves. T hro ugh the
depredations of these animals large
numbers of deer are killed every
w id e.
The wolves ubu c o u g a r s
find it difficult to get food in the
snow o f the mountains, and there
fore go after th e deer. Means must
be taken at once, said Game
Warden Finley, to stop these dep
redations. The trapping aud kill
ing of more than 100 cougais,
wolves and coyotes hng already been
reported to the Game Warden's
oflice by a h u n te r in Klamath
county, whose services were en-
engaged recently,

FARMERS ADVISER
TO CLEAR THEIR LAND OREGON
FUTURE.
“ T he m an w ho takes the timber
from an acre of land and th en does
not clear it so th a t crops may be
raised thereon is destroying the
productive power of the community,
is offending against development
and is not the highest type of citi
zen, ’ ’ declared N. B. Coffman, pres
ident ot the Logged Off Lands
association, before the Ad club at
P ortland, J a n u a r y 4.
Mr. Coffman said th a t in sou th
west W ashington land owners have
organized to encourage settlement
to clear the lands an d to sell at a
price th a t will permit the newcom-
ing farmer to m ake a living an d a
good profit.

what his people are looking for is

but who will always be hav ing

ERE
BANNER STATE
With the completion of the Paua-
ma Canal the markets o f j h e world
will be b ro u g h t thousands of miles
nearer Pacific coast towns which
will open up vast opportunities for
many new trades and industries.
Oregon with her 5 0 2 , 2 4 0 acres of
tillable land, her ideal climate, p r o
ductive soil and natural resources
should be the foremost state in the
union iu point ot wealth, prosperity
and the happiness of h e r citizens.
Among the many industries which
are yet in their infancy an d to
which the resources of the state
are peculiarly adapted ate:
The English walDut, which has
been predicted will be a source of
g reat revenue within comparatively
few years. Moreover it has been
found that the walnut grow n in
Oregon is of better quality than
th at of the imported nuts, an d as
the consumption of Duts is rapidly
increasing, the planting of a w alnut
grove will be found to be an ideal
investment for the man who can
afford to wait for his profits, beosuse
in the end it will make him wealthy.
Another industry which experts
have pronounced ideal for O regon,
and which experiments have veri
fied, is the flax culture. Many a t
tem pts bava been made to establish
a linen manufacturing p lan t and
thus promote flax raising in the
state, but so far these efforts have
been futile. I t is a fact th at the
eastern manufacturer now buys his
flax abroad and pays about $ 4 5 a
ton and 2 cents a pound duty, while
it is asserted th a t 3 5 p er cen t fiber
can be raised at a profit iu Oregon
and sold a t 1 4 cents a pound. As
the market for linens is world-wide,
this certainly would be a lucrative
industry. I t uae
a* staled th at
the flax raised in Oregon is superior
to th at raised in Ireland.
A Hillsboro, O reg o n , farmer has
dem onstrated th a t peanuts may be
grown for commercial purposes in
Oregon. O ut of curiosity he p la n t
ed some peanuts an d some time
later while d ig g in g in his garden
he found the peanuts in the ground
fully matured and of good quality.
Then again it is repo rted that
the quantity of cran berries grown
on the Pacific coast is far below the
home demand, an d yet Oregon with
ber thousands of acres of tillable
soil could well become the cran
berry center of the world. In our
own country th ere are a few cran
berry growers who advise th a t the
industry is a profitable one.
These are only a very few of the
many industries y e t to be developed
in our own state and which, when
developed, will make Oregon the
banner atate of the union.
