U. OF O. LOOKS FORWARD TO
PROSPEROUS FOOTBALL YEAR
Under the leadership of Captain
John J. McEwan, new head football
coach, and Harry 0. Ellinger and
Bob Mautz, line coaches, the Univer
sity of Oregon football team is: in
its third week of strenuous practice.
The players are slowly adapting
themselves to the West Point style
of play. ' ,
Oregon expects - to . have a great
football year financially. In four
of the five conference games on Ore
gon's schedule, the Webfooters will
be in the limelight. Thus, they play
three home-coming contests and are
one of the principals at the dedica
tion of a stadium.
The three homecoming games will
be at Eugene, October 23, when they
will face Stanford; at Pullman, Nov
ember 13, when they will line up
against Washington State college
and at Corvallis, November 20, when
they will face the Oregon Aggies.
On October 9, Oregon will play
Washington in the game that will
dedicate the new Multnomah stadium
at Portland.
Slow Growths of Oakt
England's famed oaks are disap
pearing. Many oaks were cut down
during the war, as the wood was ur
gently needed. Said a botanist: "The
wood of an oak is not really any good
until the tree is four hundred years
old, and people today cannot afford to
grow oaks for posterity. Originally
large parts of England were covered
with oaks. The tree is almost a rarity
now In some places. It is said that an
oak takes 400 years to grow to full
size, Is mature for another 400 years,
and takes 400 years more to decay.
In some cases I should say this is
1 true." ...
CROP SURPLUS DISCUSSED
TOPIC AT SPOKANE MEETING
Farmers of eastern and central
Washington and northern Idaho, in
cluding officers of several cooperat
ive organizations, meeting at Spok
ane, discussed the problem of sur
plus crops and decided to call a
meeting of Washington and Idaho
farmers in March to form an agency
to dispose of their crops.
The group asked that wheat farm
ers throughout the United States
withhold their wheat from the mark
et until such time as the industry
can be put on a "paying basis." They
requested Washington State college
to collect information as to the ef
fect of surpluses on prices for the
last ten years and give this informa
tion to farmers.
The policy of Washington Stata
college of encouraging production in
the face of "national over-production
and resulting low prices," was at
tacked and defended, by different
speakers. -
Golf'Dulba
Little Jonn lind been promoted to a
garden of her own, nml Joan's father
had been using strange oaths about
the diminution on Ins stock of golf
balls. He wns prrambulutins the gar
den when lie noticed a curious whitish
protuberance in Joan's section, and In
vestigated. The culprit was sum
moned. "Well," she said, "you did say
that you wished you could grow golf
balls in the garden 'cos they're so
dear, so' I thought I'd try for a sur
prise. And I've watered them every
day, and now you've gone and spoiled
everything." And Joan's father, re
garding half a dozen muddy objects,
tole away with a sense of guilt to
buy more balls and to find a hiding
place for them. London Chronicle.
Two Oregon Towns -May Consolidate.
Milton, Or. Petitions are being cir
culated with the view of submitting
to the citizens of Milton and Free
water the question of consolidating the
two towns.
League's Aid Asked in Border Dispute
Geneva. Following closely upon the
action of Greece in appealing to the
league of nations to settle a boundary
dispute between Greece and Turkey,
a conflict in the Baltic suddenly
loomed on the league horizon when
Lithuania filed a vigorous protest
against Poland, alleging that the re
cent Polibh frontier actions consti
tuted a "new invasion of Lithuanian
territory by Polish troops."

'The pick and shovel never built up a country; you have got
to have a plow." . "
The wagon train divides in the desert. One branch hearing
of gold in California rushes southwest across the mountains;
the main train continues northwestward to Oregon.
At this dramatic point in the film version of Emerson Hough's
great story "The Covered Wagon," the"old leader of the
' Oregon train gazes fondly upon his plow which he hopes soon
to sink into Oregon soiL He is not distracted bjr thoughts of
California gold. "The pick and shovel never built up a
country," he says. "You have got to have a plow.".
Since the days of the pioneers of "The Covered Wagon" Oliver plows
have been helping build op this country. Sturdy and practical, three
generations of American farmers have depended on them to prepare the
iand. As new methods in construction and improved methods of agri
culture were discovered, Oliver quickly put them to the test and passed
on to users of Oliver plows the most up to date implem'ents.
You have got to have a plow. This is just as true today as in the days
cf which Emerson Hough wrote in "The Covered Wagon." Modern Oliver
plows and tillage tools assure their users today largest possible yields
as did their predecessors of an earlier day.
