That hairy vetch is best for eastern Oregon conditions, but that the smooth variety is the one to grow in the western part of the state, was stated by Prof. A. 1). Scudder in a short course lecture at the Oregon Agricult ural College last Monday. "The smooth vetch is the vari ety much grown in western Ore gon, hut in the eastern part of the state it can not stand the cold, so the hairy variety is used," said the speaker. "It is grown as a winter cover crop. It is a waste of time to be trying other than the smooth variety here in the western i Kir t ion of the state. "A crop of vetch sown in Octo ber should he ready in May. and a crop sown in December should be ready the first week of June. Although less valuable than clover, vetch has good qualities, being cosmopolitan, with a ten dency to increase fertility rather than decrease it. "It is valuable for many kinds of fanning, as hay, led green an a soiling crop, and as pasture, although it is not generally used for pasturage, It can be used also as silage either alone or mixed with corn." First Road Bill From Umatilla The first road bill of the ses sion, framed on district county huildinR lines, has been intro duced in the state senate by Barrett of Umatilla. It is con fined to pmoilWnjr the manner in which counties may vote bonds for road improvement. It provides that upon a petition of one-fourth of the voters of any county, a special election must be called, the petition setting out the amount of the bond issue. If a petition be signed by one-twentieth of the voters, the county court may or may not order an election. If a petition be signed by one-tenth of the voters, a vote must be taken at the succeeding general election. In either event, the amount for which a count may be bonded for road building must not exceed two per cent of the assessed value of property in the county. The bill also pro vides for establishing a sinking fund to redeem the bonds. The Ford Car Model T 1913 Is the universal car; "Not a Cheaper Car" but "Better Car."
