There is enough homestead land now open to givo many thousands a chance for free land, and there is a lot more to be surveyed. Central Oregon offers almost the last hope for the securing of homesteads. It is about the last of Uncle Sam's free domain, that is the last of anything worth while. And the rush will be tremendous. Not only that, but we predict that there will bo a better class of settlers than has occupied any other section.

BIGGS, Burns, OregonJ j:.-:v::iyT.r.-jv..vv-:xssaEM Dry Farming congress, discussed "Dry Farm Crop Production Essentials," before tho recent session of that body. "Included in tho aim of the Dry Farming Congress is an ef fort to bring to the knowledge of tho world the facta regarding the possibilities of tho non-irrigated farming lands of tho arid and semi-arid regions, in order that these lands may bo brought into a stale of uscfullncss; and to as sist the farmers who take up these lands to succeed and be come permanent contented home builders in the communities. "In the light of the knowledge so far gained by farmers and in vestigators, it would seem that there are certain broad essentials which must be observed if the farmers arc to continue in lhi branch of agriculture. I havt chosen to emphasize two which seem to merit the special consid eration of dry farmers. These are: Proper moisture conserv ing soil tillage, and duo regard for the practices which will main tain the soil in a productive state. "The name of this branch of agricultural sienco "Dry T'arpi-. ing', implies an unusual condi tion in relation to the supply of moisture. In fact the only par ticular in which this class of farming differs from the humid or irrigation farming is in the matter of limited moisture sup ply. The fnrtner must, there fore, direct his tillage and crop ping operations in such a manner as to make fullest use of the natural precipitation. This is es sential in order that the plants may grow, nnd equally so in or der that the plant food supply locked up by nature in the soil mny bo brought into a soluble state and so become available. Surface cultivation must be prac ticed at the proper lime, and early maturing, hardy strains of the different crops must ho plant ed. "As new farming communities nre opened up, the tendency is for those who first take up the lands to start a skimming process. By this I mean to grow soil re ducing crops like wheat or other cereals year after year and re turn nothing to the land to com pensate for tho food elements re moved in tho crops harvested. If dry farmers make this mistake it will bo in spite of tho warning of past exp fences. Tho com munity, tho state, the nation and tho world have an interest in the store of plant food held in the soil as this is a great treasure house, from which future genera tions must got their supply of life's necessities. "Tho dry farmer cannot grow whent continuously without invi ting disaster. Ho must include soil improving crops such as al falfa and peas to keep up the HUiniiH content and nitrogen sup ply, and must grow livestock in order that tho valuable plant food elementa mny not bo need lessly ship;) nl from the farm." IIKH1S WONI'RIZKS AND TKOTTIM IMCr.S, M. R. Biggs is fooling pretty good ns a result of tho award of prizes on cattlo at tho Crook county fair, and for tho reason that his trotting horses won all tho harness events on tho track without any ofi'ort. Not only did Mr. Biggs' herd of Short horn cattlo win all of tho first prizes in their class, but thoy won tho Bweopstakoa for beef breeds over all tho cattlo on ex hibition, somo of thoso over which thoy won tho award boingi exhibition right off the pasture as were most all the cattle shown. It is to be regretted that tho fair association is restricted financial ly so that it is not able to offer higher prizes on live stock, so that owners would bo justified in taking tho time and going to the expense of fixing the stock up. for show. The public could then appreciate more fully tho fact, that the Crook county stockmen have some of the finest blooded cattle in the world. Mr. Biggs won all three of the harness races with his sorrel trotters with ease, the animals. (Portland Correspondence). Under tho banner of the Ore gon Development League, tho state has never taken a more decided forward movement in community publicity than now. With the various cities thorough ly aroused and actively at work to advance their interests, tho outlook is very bright. Never has there been it stronger adver tising pulse throughout the state. There is a determination to set forth to the world the manifold advantages Oregon has to ofTer to the homeseeker. During the past week, under the direction of the Oregon De velopment League, lemarkable meetings have been held in vari ous parts of the state. Tremen dous interest has been shown everywhere. Lebanon raised a publicity fund of $2500 at an enthusiastic meeting. The people of the city nro united in the determination to exploit the resources of that section and are doing splendid work. Corvallis has just organized a woman's auxiliary that will make itself felt in many ways in fur thering the efforts of the local commercial club in advertising Corvallis. A warm welcome is given newcomers, Silverton people, at a meeting The Stetson stamp is more than a trade mark it is a guarantee of hat svtisfaction. No other hat can promise what the Stetson does, be cause no other hats are made like Stetson hats. In the selection of ma terials, the designing of styles, the proportions, the workmanship inevery step the Stetson hat stands alone as the result of the makers' purpose to pro duce the best.

The centenary of the first American settlement on the Pacific Coast will be celebrated by Astoria in 1911 and plans for 'the affair are already being dis cussed. Descendants of John Jacob Astor will bo asked to join in the commemoration of the planting of the first American city on the Pacific Coast by the founder of that famous family. Tha story of the founding of Astoria is told in Washington Irving's book of that name. What Would lou Do. In case of a burn or scald what would you do to relieve the pain? Such injuries are liable to occur in nny family and every one should be prepared for them. Chamberlain's Salve applied on a soft cloth will relievo the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a very severe one, will causo tho parts to heal without leaving a scar.
