of NeaJ C Jamison, county agri
cattarabst. as expressed ia this
city Wednesday.
. A ao9 survey is a much more
eaaaaan njatter than nost people
mime. It wiB mean a complete
survey, rnjipping, analysis and
cUuiftcatioa of all soils in the
raur.tr. Soil maps will be pre
. pared and a bulletin issued that
will show the exact una am
oamposition of all soils in all of
tle vosying conditions of the
different districts of the county.
With the aid of such a. survey,
the county agriculturalist csn
readily give advice on any farm
problem that may arise. He will
have at his command ready and
reliable information as to the soil
conditions of every district in his
county and will be able to brine
the best knowledge of science to
the aid of the farmer with the
practical experience and thus he
can render the most effective
service with the least delay.
But if Washington County is
to be one of the first counties of
the state to secure this advan
tage, there must be no delay in
asking for it . Every fanner and

Sorrento dub Meeting.
There will be a special meeting
of the Sorrento Improvement
Club at the home of J. D. Wilmot
on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
to prepare a budget for a spec
ial road tax in District No. 22.
All taxpayers are invited to at
tend. W. H. BOYD, President
Road District 26 Has Good Beads
John Trachsel of Elmonica was
a congenial visitor at The Times
office Wednesday and added his
name to the list of good boosters
for this paper. Mr. Trachsel is
supervisor of Road District 26
and has lived in this community
for more than 27 years and is one
of the most enthusiastic good
roads boosters we have met He
gets results, toot for when he
came here it took five to six
hours to make the trip to Fort
land but now there is enough!
rock road that the trip can be
made easily in three hours. The
district was practically all cov
ered with timber then ; now it is
fertile fields and gardens.
While Mr. Trachsel is one of
the foremost boosters for the
Oreneo road, he is friendly to
any improvement in the roads
through this city and if the road
through Beaverton had been pro
jected to connect with Canyon
road, he would have been well
pleased to see it go through. If
the decision of the State High
way Commission is favorable to
the Bertha-Baaverton - ReedviUe
route, Mtj Trachsel will drive his
ear over this way and enjoy the
Pacific Highway with us.
. Road District 26 has had a
tea-mill special road tax for the
past three years and has had
several other heavy taxes for
roads in the past few years and
has two rock roads through the
district completed with the ex
ception of about a mile and a
half.
Vcirn Co.
vantage accrue to this county
should promptly write te Dean
A. B. Cordley at Oregon Agricul
tural College, Corvallis, Oregon,
and urge Mat the soil survey be
made in Washington County this
year. .
While the soil survey is by no
means a panacea for all the ius
which beast the fanner, it wilt
prove of inestimable vaaie to all
who seek to apply the principles
of scientific farm management
to their farm problems. At pres
ent there is no practical basis on
which to work. The county ag
riculturalist must either depend
largely upon guesswork and ex
periments in making his recom
mendations, or else take the time
to make special analysis of every
soil with which he has to deal.
After the survey is made, the
farmer who would know what to
do for his crop would merely
write his troubles and his loca
tion to the county agriculturalist
and the latter would merely turn
to the soil survey, learn the kind
of soil with which he had to deal.
and make his recommendations
by return mail.
But as the soil survey is not
made in a day, it is of the utmost
importance that it be begun this
year as other conditions in this
county are such that the greatest
use possible can be made of tne
survey as soon as made.

Boys at Home Also Being
Oared for by Y, M. 0. A.
Oregon boys are in the army
and navy. Oregon boys are in
high schools. It has been no small
task for the interstate executive
committee of the Y. M. C. A. to
give full attention to each group.
This tatc knows well what is be
ing done by the Y. M. C. A. for
its soldier boys "wherever they
are," but it perhaps does not re
alize the things that are being
planned by the Y. M. C. A. for
"the 'boys at home," who are
more or less patiently waiting
and preparing to do their bit.
The Older Boys' Conference, to
be held at Eugene just following
Thanksgiving, is one of three
such conferences under the direc
tion of the Interstate Y. M. C. A.
Committee, which are to be held
More the middle of December.
The other two are scheduled for
LaOrande, Oregon, and Twin
Falls, Idaho, . r
The conference last year at
Corvallis registede over , three
hundred. Leaders feel that with
the important issues to come up
this year, and the splendid co
operation being given by other
state organizations, the registra
tion at Eugene will not fall below
four hundred and may go to five
hundred. Leaders from Southern
Oregon and some Central Oregon
counties are expected to play a
large part in swelling the enroll
ment this year.
A. P. Patton, of Hillsboro, is
conference leader for Washington
county.

TheTimes has been favored by
Mr. G. L. Thompson, Mrs. F. G.

John Summers with extracts
from letters received from the
Ferguson family, former Beaver

ere received to late for us to

our readers that they will be

$13,359.68. This was a fine trib

not what we say we will do, but
what we actually do, and it-appears
that there are a number of
