A O00J harvest.
The season's first crop of hay
is
pretty well taken care of through
out this section, by this time, and
the yield has been very good in
deed. In fact, much more and bet
tcr hay has been cut this year bj
farmers on the segregation than
ever before. A .fair amount of this
is being hauled into Bend and sold,
the market price for hay delivered
in town being- $14 a ton, A fait
general average on the first cut 01
alfalfa and clover will put the yield
at two tons to the acre Some field
did not do that well but others did
better, and the average will be
about as stated.
The grain crops are ripening
now, and a few fields hove already
been cut. The good record made
by the grasi.es will be duplicated in
the wheat, oat and barley fields
Many wheat fields stand to a man'
armpits, and the oats even higher
Some might suppose that tlm
meant too rank a growth of straw
with a corresponding lack of grain,
but as a practical farmer remarked
to The Bulletin not long ago, "I
have never yet seen too long straw.
The longer the straw the longer the
head." This statement is proving
true ia this year's grain crop around
Bend, the heads of grain being ex
ceptionally long and heavy and
filled with plump round kernels.
The yield of grain will be O. K.
While the frost has nipped the
potatoes to some extent, the major
ity of reports received by The Bul
letin arcto the effect that the po
tato crop will be up to the stan
dard for this lection, which, as ev
eryone knows, is entirely satisfac
tory. New potatoes have been on
the market for a month and a half,
and are Ax in quality.
The Assembly Plan.
Let there be no misunder
standing about the matter. If the
people of Oregon wish to give up
the direct primary and go back to
the old convention system of nomi
nating candidates for office, all well
and good. But let's have done
with all this folderol about holding
"assemblies" as a part of and as an
aid and improvement to, the direct
primary.
What is the assembly plan? It
is a system that is being proposed
by some of Oregon's politicians
whereby delegates shall gather in
convention prior to the date for
holding, the primary nominating
election, and "suggest" or "recom
mend" that the people nominate
this and that mau for this and that
office. Then at the primary, the
people may accept this suggestion
or recommendation, or they may
reject it if they do not like the men
recommended.
Looks simple and fair, doesn't it?
But in a short time, it would do
away absolutely with direct nomi
nations by the people. The man
who had been "suggested" by the
assembly would have the strength
of the politicians and the "inner
rings" behind bitn; any man who
opposed him would be dubbed an
irregular, an independent, etc., etc.;
and the final result would be that
no one but the man who had the
endorsement of the assembly could
secure the nomination at the pri
mary. Which means that the nomi
nations would really be made by
the politicians gathered at the as
sembly. Which again means that
the old convention system would be
back in all its force, and the direct
primary would have gone ogliui
inering. Let us look into the matter a
little farther. Why is the assembly
plan suggested? lfor one great .)
reason, which is that it is claimed
the present direct primary has put
the republican party out of Imm
ness in Oregon. Candidly now, is
the republican party down and out
in Oregon? Oregon gave Taft a
strong plurality over all others;
with one exception Oregon's dele
gatioh in congress are all republi
cans; each nud every one of the
state's elective officers is a republi
cn; the Inst legislature was strong
ly republican; and undoubtedly
the majority of the county officers
over the state arc republicans.
What grounds arc there then on
which to base the statement that
the republican party is "outof busi
ness" in Oregou?
If the nembly plan is better,
let us then adopt it. But fairness
demands that it be named by its
real name, which is nothing more
nor less than the old-time conven
tion. If the people arc of the opin
ion that the direct primary is not
giving satisfaction, then pcihaps
they ure rca'dy to go back to the
old system.
But, as wc said in the beginning,
1 e t there be no misunder
standing, about the matter. The
"assembly" is a new label lacked
rintrk ill. nt mnt-jknftfntt A mI !
the old-time politicians who have
done the tacking.
Harriman's forces desire, it is
Slid, not merely to block the con
s:rtiction of the Oregon Trunk
Line up the Deschutes, but to wipe
it from the face of the earth ns far
as its legal existence is concerned
inai wouiu-dc a nice way to pre
serve linrriniin s Orecon fence-
kill off the only rival who ever has
attempted to enter his preserves.
and then quietly stop all construc
tion himself.
Thk sympathy of the people of
Central Oregon is plainly with
Porter Bros, in the fight alonjf the
Deschutes. Little faith is put in
Harriman's promises, aud the com
mon remark heard in these parts is
that he would not be building now
if Porter Bros, had not forced him
to it.
PuRHArs after another thousand
years or two have come and gone,
governments will exist for the pur
pose of protecting those who need
it instead of for banding over graft
to the wealthy and powerful.
"What Will It Cost"
k the Question of Questions!
The household question -the
insistent question everywhere--the
question which Is oftener In
human minds than any other
whatever, Is: "WHAT WILL IT
COST?"
Where to get to the best ad
vantagewhen -can it be afforded
--all of these questions, and many
more cluster around the main one
"WhafWill
It's the, question of qucstions-and It Is.
.the question that gives the ads. half of
their Importance. No one, unless an ad.
.reader, ever knows much about the answer
4o it..
It' Potter Bros, nre only bluffing,
they certainly believe in playing
the game for nlMhnt's in it. But
don't you think for a minute that
they arc bluffing. Their bluff will
end only yhcn their railroad is
circling through the bluffs of Con
trol Oregon,
Chntkai. Oregon will cheer loud
ly the man who first gives us 11
railroad. We care little for tl'ie
war that is being waged. What wc
want is u railroad, regardless of
who builds it.
By. the way, Governor Benson
said recently that the direct pri
mary is a good law. And now
there are several agile politiciuils
after the governor's scalp.
Now that the tariff has been re
vised downward (?) by its frL-mls.
Ict'.s sec if anyone can notice any
lowering in the cost of living.
What reward comes to the man
or men who cause two tailroads to
grow where none has grown before?
ROD CLOVER RXCULS.
tJcllevcJ To tte (test Peed for Livestock
Good for the Land.
That red clover is a better crop
for forage than alfalfa is the opinion
of Prof. George Severance, head of
the department of agriculture at
the Washington State College,
Pullman, and his opinion is bated
on actual results from experiments,
nude on the college farm. Last
year twelve acres of the college
farm were plunted to red clover.
The field lies on almost the high
est point of the farm and is a south
slope, which, a few years ago,
would have been regarded as ut
terly unfit for clover, alfalfa, or any
other crop.
The clover did well, and this
year it was cut for hay and yielded
more than 31 tous, over two and a
half tons to the acre. It is now
several inches in height and there
will be a fine lot of pasture ou it
this fall. The value of the pas
ture will be almost equal to the
value of the hay, and this is $15
per acre. Professor Severance says
that clover is a better feed than
alfalfa.
This spring two other fields of
red clover were planted and are
now being cut. A fairlv cood
crop is being taken off, although it
was sowed the last week in April.
An cld-fnslitoncd "self-rake" mow-
?
It Cost?"
lug machine is being used to cut
the clover aud this drops it in
small bundles at convenient places.
It is thought that a ton to the acre
will be secured from the first crop,
but it will not l)e pastured thU lull.
"One great advantage of red
clover over alfalfa' is that the
ground can be used for other crops,"
said Professor Severance, "Once
seeded to alfalfa the ground Is un
lit for any other crop for several
years. It is almost imKtssiblc to
kill out the alfalfa. If one hail u
field which he wished to devptc to
alfalfa for on indefinite period, that
crop tuigh be all right, but where
it is desired to renew the soil or
improve it by rotation of crops
clover is by fur the best. It can
be planted one year aud some
times, as was the way with us
this year, fairly good crop can be
taken from it the first year.
"Two good crops can be taken
the two succeeding years aud then
it must be rcncwcll. By plowing
the ground it mukes'the best wheut,
cits or corn laud imaginable, the
three years in clover seining to
give it new productiveness aud is
better than summer fallowing. I
believe that red clover is destined
to become one of the best crops that
cm be grown in this country."
To Prevent forest Flren.
To lessen the duuger to standing
timber along railway lines from
sprits, in iNoMimcstcrti states, II c
Washington State Forest 1'irc As
sociation will start a campaign for
the substitution of oil as fuel In
locomotives. Hvcry year during
the dry season, millions of feet of
valuable timber arc destroyed as
the result of Hying sparks from
locomotives. This is a great loss
in wealth of one of the state's roost
valuable natural resources. Presi
dent Harling of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul has announced
that he will cooperate in the move
ment, us he does not want to sec
a foot of timber destroyed along
his line. Accordingly, the Mil
waukee is equipping forty locomo
tives with oil burners. They will '
be used in Washington, Idaho and
.Montana timber belts. President
Harling believe. that the use of oil'
will prove an economical innova
tion. As a result of 83 serious
fires njong railway lines in New
York state last year, its public
service corporation has decreed
that oil must be burned by loco
motives. An effort will be made to
persuade the Washington Railway
Commission to moke a similar rut
iug. The matter will also be
pressed in other timber states of
the country.
