That tho noason In Oregon district No. 2 should open on September 1C, Instond of on October 1, as provided by stnluto, was tho decision of tho gamo commission as outlined In a telegram received last Frlduy by Mr. Mooru from Ktnto C-amo Warden A.

"Owing to tho fact that Kastem Oregon sportsmen want duck and gooso shooting sea son to conform to federal regula tions providing open souson Septem ber 10 to December 31, wo hnvo ac quiesced and notified wardens that federal regulations will govern," Mr. Ilurghduff wired. "Wo hopo to bo ablu to convince tho next legislature and tho federal authorities of tho nocesslty that tho ntnto and federal migratory bird laws should con form."

All officers ol tho law, from tho highest to tho low est, are croa hires of tho law and hound to obey It." Mr Mooro's lettor to tho nttornoj genorat was written, ho explained, not with nny Intention of finding fault with tho gamo commission, but of sotting tho members of tho com mission right when ho boliovod them to bo In error.

MOREPOTATOES TO BE SHIPPED uirrn:it mlthodh of itihva tiox mow: thax maki: up i'ok loshiis j)uk to i'host, SAYS OfS STADIO. Fully CO por cont more potatoes will ho nvnllahlo for shipment out of tho Deschutes valtoy this faP than colvlng yesterday Mr. Brown's dus E. Btadlg of Lower Bridge, president and manage of tho Central Orogon Potato Growers. Whllo tho yield which wnn expected earlier In tho season Is estimated by Mr. Stadlg to havo been cut 40 por cent by frost, mora scientific methods of cultlva tlon, uso of better seed, and more carefully prepared noil will result In an output greatly In excess of that In 1919, ho states. "It is too early to draw any con elusions as to tho market," Mr. Stad ig said, "but I do not expect any such high prion as those prevailing last year. Tho government forecast for a largo crop will bo ono deter mining factor In keeping quotations down, but thcro Is always a healthy demand for the Central Oregon spud, both for tablo and seed purposes. I havo little doubt that our entire crop would find a ready market for seed nlono. "Our best potatoes will be shipped out In special sacks, branded 'Des chutes Gem' ". Tho marketing of tho Deschutes valley spud crop will probably not begin for another month, Mr. Stadlg said. 2,500 ACRES OF FOREST BURID MILLION AXI) A HALF FEET OF YELLOW PIXE KILLED IX FOX IJCTTi: FIRE KEPHODUCTIOX AXI) GKAIXG DF-STItOYEI). That tho forest fire In tho yellow plno belt near Fox Uutte burned ovor 2S00 ncreH and killed approxi mately 1,500,000 feet of high grade timber was tho statement of Forest Supervisor II. L. Plumb, who re turned last night with Deputy Su pervisor W. O. Harrlman from tho Bceno of tho conflagration. A cruiso will bo made shortly to determine tho exact amount of tho loss. Tho greater part of tho damago was dono on tho first day of tho fire, Mr. Plumb said, when a high wind spread tho flames rapidly. Practically all reproduction in tho tract was killed and much in tho way of valuablo forngo plants de stroyed. Tho fire did not "crown," as had been feared, tho destruction of maturo timber coming ns tho re sult of tho 'flames catching in pitch spots nenr tho ground. HUGE TROUT CAUGHT BY IRVIN S. COBB Giant Knlnhow Lauded After lmttlo At East Itke Two More Hear To Ho Taken Today Hy Hunters. Irvin S.

A three foot rainbow, tho weight of which can only bo guossod, is his record cntcb, but ho has some unusually largo eastern brook trout to his cred it ns well. Tho famous humorist and his party nro camped closo to tho outlet of Pnullmi hike and intend to return to Ilond tonight with four bear sklus. Two of tho boars had been tnken up to last night nnd Mr. Cobb, ns ho showed visitors about tho camp, In dicated with somo prldo it salted pelt stnkod out on tho ground. "Yes, that's tho ono I killed In my sleep," ho snld, alluding to tho hunt of Thursday, when ono of tho hounds trcod bruin near tho placo whoro Mr. Cobb nnd two follow huntors wero dozing. Of tho fish, however, ho was espe cially proud. Tho big rainbow was tnkon only after a bnttlo lasting for more than halt an hour. PROSPERITY ON FARMS SEEN I ANNUALREPORT MORE ACRES WATERED BY C. 0. I. PRODUCTION GREATER Irrigated Land Incrcoso In Value, and Good Surplus Output For Market It Shown In Alfalfa, Grain, nnd Potatoes. More acres of land undor cultiva tion, greater productivity, moro set tlers who aro making monoy, a great er cash return from products, of tho soil than In 1919 or in any of tho past years, aro tho outstanding fea tures of tho Central Oregon Irriga tion Company crop census for 1920, complotcd Friday. Tho total Irrigable land for which water was delivered amounted to 35,000 acres, 30C7 acres moro than In 1919, whllo tho Irri gable acreage under cultivation to taled 29,030, as against 22,695 In the year preceding. Of tho watered land In cultivation this season, 17,541 acres were served by tho Central Oregon canal and 11,489 acres by tho Pilot Dutto canal. Cleared land on tho entire project which Is not re ceiving water was only 1345 acres. As a silent indication of the steady work which has been put in by farmers of Central Oregon In building up tbo soil and increasing agricultural possibilities of the ditch lands moistened by tho water from tho deschutcs, the valuo of cultivat ed farms on tho project Is given aa $3,527,901, a gain of $621,850 over thoTaluo set In 1919. Alfalfa Favorite. Alfalfa was easily tho favorlto crop throughout tho project, tho ncreago In this forage plant exceeding that of all other crops combined. In 1919 thero were 13,485 acres In al falfa, but now, the Irrigation com pany's report shows, (there Is a gala of 5354 acres. Orain is next with 5100 acres and 2541 acres are placed undor the heading of "Miscellan eous." Twelvo hundred and seven teen acres were in potatoes, 721 in clover, 271 in garden, 227 ln tim othy and 115 in orchards. Tho pop ulation of the farms on which these crops wero grown, was 1875 In 1919 and 1858 in 1920. Good Surplus Shown. Arbitrarily fixing $20 a ton as the price for clover and alfalfa hay, $23 n, ton for timothy, $2.90 a bushel for grain and $1.50 a bushel for pota toes, the estimated crop valuo oa the project this year Is $1,908,579.' Of this, it Is estimated, 12,981 tons ol hay and 51,924 bushels of grain will feed 4327 head of cnttlo; 7390 tons of hay and 73,900 bushels of grata will feed 1478 horses; 285 tons oC hay and 88G0 bushels of grain will tako caro of 1140 hogs; 5234 tons of hay will be used by 20,940 head ot sheep, and 9290 bushels of potatoes will bo eaten by 1858 pooplo. Thla leaves a surplus of 33,000 tons ot hay, 18,626 bushols ot grain and 81,980 bushels .of potatoes, repre senting a minimum valuo of $837, 010.
