(J THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER ». 1926 B E N E F IT S OF STATE GRADES The State Grain Inspection De partment is operated for the benefit of all persons in the state who are interested in growing or dealing in grain. All grain shipped to Portland or Astoria is weighed, inspected and graded as to Federal grades, at these terminals, by the State Grain Inspec tion department. All dealings in grains at these points are on the basis o f these standards. When grain is bought or sold in the interior the price paid is directly or indirectly based on these grades. The grades are based on the quality of the grain, mixtures, dockage, smut, etc. Anyone having a knowl edge o f the factors that go to make the grades has an advantage in grain transactions over those who do not have that information. Anyone get ting inspection and grades on his grain while it is in the warehouse or on the farm is in a better position to market his grain at more nearly its true value. In order to make this information available to all parties interested, the State Grain Inspection depart ment will inspect samples that are mailed in and will furnish certifi cates showing the grades, weight per bushel, dockage, smut, etc. Great care should be taken in get ting a representative sample, as the inspection is o f value only in pro- i » 5 -x cre tract fo r sale, g ood soil, plenty w ater in dry years at low rate, well drained, U -m ile from G rants Pass on state highw ay.

At least a pound and a half o f grain should be mailed in. We furnish, upon request, postcards which ship per can fill out, giving details of shipment, and which will be returned to the shipper as soon as the car is unloaded and grain is weighed and graded. The protein proteii content o f wheat is a factor in fixi: fixing the value for certain flours. Dealers as well as millers take into consideration the protein in wheat, especially in seasons when our wheat is low in that element. The protein analysis is made at the state laboratory in connection with the Inspection Department. One- half pound should be mailed in for the protein analysis. The f e e charged is one dollar. Address pack ages and letters to Grain Inspection Department, 723 Court house, Port land. The department would like to give these services free, out it is main tained on the fees collected and must be self sustaining.— C. E. Spence, State Market Agent. F laxseed P rices S tron ger In May flaxseed prices were quot ed at $2.30 and are now $2.46. A crop o f 19,000,000 bushels, or 3,- 000,000 bushels smaller than last year’s harvest is forecast for the United States. Farmers of Oregon say the flax crop this year has been the most profitable crop grown, and prospects are for a considerably in creased acreage next year. L A N D S E T T L E M E N T D E P T ITE M S Turning to Oregon as the most promising country to serve as their haven, many farmers o f the Owens Valley in California are seeking and finding hdmes in this state. These men who have sold their farms near Bishop, California, to the City o f Los Angeles, in a much agitated water rights controversy, are visiting and locating in all parts o f Oregon. Many splendid prospective settlers for Oregon yet remain in the Owens Valley awaiting the purchase by Los Angeles o f all the water rights, thus ending their long struggle. Among these ranchers, Arthur Foster, field representative of the Land Settle ment Department o f the Portland Chamber, has been working during the last week, and optimistic indeed are his reports. He finds many have already visited Oregon and are en thusiastic boosters preparing to re turn here to invest and remain. A recent arrival from Owens Val ley is J. S. Wilson who purchased 80 acres o f Klamath county land. Charles Matlich has shipped a car load o f his household effects and equipment to Grants Pa$s. He was accompanied from the valley in the southern state by a neighbor who also purchased a place on the Grants Pass Irrigati<m project. Not from California alone are the new settlers coming however. A re cent mail brought a letter from J. H. Galanter o f Ponca City, Okla.. bearing heart ythanks to the land settlement department for its serv ices in helping him to purchase 400 acres in Harney county near Burns for a sheep ranch. PACE THREE A S IT SH O U LD BE Game wardens throughout the state have been notified that they are to prosecute in all cases where one hunter shoots another by mistak ing him for a deer. The action is taken because o f the many deaths caused by carelessness in the past and it is hoped that the announce ment will make hunters think twice before shooting into the brush at something they see indistinctly. There is no reason for shooting a man in the hills by mistaking* him for a deer. The law states that a man is entitled to two buck deer with horns. A man. is therefore expected to see the horns before he shoots, otherwise he should wait until he is certain. Shooting without sight of horns on a deer may result in the killing of a doe, which is also a vio lation o f the law. Mr. Averill, the state game war den, is right. All such cases should be prosecuted.— Grants Pass Courier. The end o f August found travel into Crater Lake National Park un abated, a total of 22,935 cars hav ing brought 75,234 visitors.
