THIRTY-FIVE IS LIMIT
Recent news stories purporting to
quote Secretary of State Hal E. Hoss
as having issued rulings affecting the
state speed law of 35 miles an hour,
have been emphatically denied by
Hoss, who, said in a recent statement
"Oregon's speed limits are fixed by
the state legislature, and there has
been no change from the 35 mile
limit. Reports recently ' circulated
would lead one to believe that I had
encouraged fast travel on Oregon
highways, but the story was unfound
ed. What I have in mind is a recom
mendation to the legislature next
January that they fix a speed regn
lation in comformity to the National
code being adopted uniformly
throughout all the states, which has
as its basic principle the substitu
tion of 'recklessness' where speed in
excess of the limitations is charged
This is strictly a matter for the state
legislature, and I am not usurping
their perogatives. And in the mean
time, the Oregon speed laws are Just
as effective as they were, and I have
advised the state traffic division that
anyone caught speeding' should be
shown absolutely no consideration be'
cause he thought the limits had been
raised."
The Dalles sportsmen are on the
right track in their efforts to oust
boat-fishing on the Deschutes river,
All one has to do to feel like thirty
cents is to go fishing from the banks
of the Deschutes and watch the guys
in boats with fly rod and baitcaster
pull 'em out while he carries an
empty creel. Recently a California
doctor and his party paid a Mac
kenzie river boatman $60 per day for
his services and two boats, brought
over from Thompson's resort to the
Deschutes to ply for a week on a
stretch of the river, west of Madras.
An automobile pulled the boats on a
trailer from a point below Mecca
over a road five miles above. Here
the boats were launched and a day's
crack fishing lay ahead of the party.
Did they get them? We'll say they
did; we were one of those who stood
on the bank and watched the process
of a boat fisherman demonstrating to
the bank angler that what he didn't
know about catching trout was ju&t
the difference in fishing from a boat
and standing on the bank. And it
was great sport to the fellows in
the boat but dingbasted little did
the fellow on the bank feel in con
trast. And that is not all. If boat
fishing is allowed to continue there,
it is but a matter of short time un
til there will be nothing left for the
boat man but the ride. The bank
fisherman is out of the picture right
now.
Government estimates as of early
June are given out for the following
crops in the United States: Rye pro
duction is estimated at 40,723,000

five-year average of 45,882,000 bush
els. The 1930 production of pears is
estimated at 22,703,000 bushels, which

SEASONABLE IDEAS
During the summer weather cool
drinks are used more freely and it is
a great satisfaction to have some
thing good, cold, and palatable ready.

being more delici

lemonade, gives
one the assurance
of its always being
ready to serve at
just a moment's notice.
Lemon Sirup. Squeeze the juice
from enough lemons (probably five
dozen) to make two auarts of the
Juice. Add enough of the grated rind
to suit the taste, six pounds of sugar,
and two and one-half auarts of water.

Chocolate 8lrup. Mix together one
pound of chocolate, one pound of su

When summer warms up and rains
cease most dairymen in Oregon, ex
cept in specially favored sections, see
their pastures dry up and their cream
checks begin to shrink. At such
times no amount of winter rainfall is
of any use in relieving the pressing
feed problem.
If something could be done to pro
vide from four to six months green
pasture during the hot summer and
early fall ' the average dairyman
would see the world through rose
colored glasses for sure.
The Oregon Experiment station be
lieves that such pasture can be sup
plied in most dairy regions through
the plan of establishing irrigated
Ladino clover pastures and has. just
issued a bulletin on the results ob
tained with such a pasture at Cor
vail is. Unlike many crops, this is
one that seems to be suitable
either east or west of the mountains,
in fact about anywhere that irriga
tion water can be obtained for it.
The pasture at the college was
established in 1927 on 11 acres of
heavy land that was considered so
poor that it had not been cropped for
several years. For the two years fol
lowing the pasture carried an aver
age of from 34 to 42 cows by rotat
ing the herd over three divisions of
the field. Last year it was pastured
almost continuously from May 9 to
October 17 and carried an average of
3.7 cows per acre.
Experiment station men figured all
costs carefully and the exact amount
of feed obtained expressed in terms
of equivalent alfalfa hay and corn
silage. They found that the amount
of feed eaten per day by each cow
would have cost about 12 cents if sup
plied as hay and silage, while as
pasture it cost less than 5 cents.
Dairymen find that the Ladino
clover is ideal for milk 'production ns
well as to keep up body weight and
general good health of the cows.
The new bulletin is called "Irri
gated Pastures for Dairy Cattle," by ,
I. R. Jones and P. M. Brandt, and is
now ready for free distribution.

from Eltopia, Wash., Mr. Foss sold
a Deering binder to Fred Rosenzweig
who has an excellent crop prospect.
In Austin's opinion, Mr. Rosenzweig
will have a splendid yield of wheal,
unless hot winds come, ani if they
do, Franklin county farmers can cut
the grain for hay, which is readily
contracted at $10 per ton in the field.
