store building. Can you beat it?
It takes longer to call the farmers
from the fields than the city dwellers
from the shops, for many do not hear
the first blast of the trumpet, and
others do not at first understand its
meaning because they have not had
the time to talk the matter over with
their acquaintances on the street cor
ners, in the stores, on the cars, in
the dubs and at other gatherings, or
to read half a doxen extras a day.
The fanner must have more time, in
a sudden emergency, to make np his
mind.
It is impossible to set the farmers
o f the United States on fire by means
o f any sodden spark or rumor, or to
blow a chance catch o f flame among
them into a conflagration with any
hand bellows o f artificial agitation,
but when the farmers do ignite, they
burn with a slow, hot fire which
nothing can put out. They are some
times the last to heat up, but they
stay hot; and in a long fight they are
always' found sturdily carrying the
battle across No Man’s Land to the
foe, in the last grim struggle. They
fight with the slow rear-guard action
that covers retreat in disaster, and
their stubborn valor always helps to
turn the tide toward victory in the
final triumph. The American farmer
will give all Chat he has and all that
he is to win this war against war,
this struggle to win again the victory
which we fondly believed we had
twice won in the past— Herbert
Quick, in Farm and Fireside.

Notwithstanding the fa ct that

a n e scarcely bats an eye at any

seed wheat at the rate o f $400
p er acre seems to be a bit beyond
th e limit. It is recorded by the
Herald that A . H. Craven, a Polk
county fanner, paid $25 fo r
enough "N ew Burbank" wheat
to sow one-sixteenth o f an acre.

asked over and over again why
•flour should be sold to bakers and
n ot to families who make tneir
own bread. With very few ex
ceptions the people are willing to
undergo such privations as may
be necessary in order to feed the
soldiers, but they insist that all
should be treated alike. The
Salem Journal in discussing this
m atter says:
To select one peraon out of about 125,
and aak that person to go on a wheat-
ieea ration while the other 124 do noth
ing of the kind, is as silly as it is dis
criminatory. The amount o f wheat
that could be eared by this state going
itleea for four months, or 120 days,
ild just equal the nation going
itleea one day. That is what the
food director of this state is
asking o f its people. He is asking Ore
gon to bear this deprivation in a vicar
ious way for four months to save the
balance of the country depriving thei
selves for one day. There is something
