MEN MADE OF METAL
THE GENEROSITY OF NA-
TUBE
R. J. Wensley, inventor of a
mechanical man that unveiled a
statue of George Washington, be
lieves that men made o f metal
will liberate us from industrial
slavery, as Washington liberated
us from European tyranny.
Workers need not fear that me
tallic “ robots” will ruin the la
bor market. Long ago mechanical
men and women made their ap
pearance in machfcery o f all
kinds, driven by steam and elec
tricity.
One machine does th >
knitting for ten thousand women
one locomotive pulls the load of
a thousand stage coaches, replac
ing 1,000 drivers.
The perfected machine will not
be an imitation man standing up
right on two legs. That position
man achieved to look out over
high grass for enemies and prey,
in the beginning, and to look up
the stars later. Mechanical men
can be only an interesting cur
iosity, not an industrial success.
Science improves on nature and
f does not imitate it, the ultimate
' flying machine without bird wings
or methods will prove that.

"Washington navel trees” that
make up great groves in southern
California.
Similarly, a few cherry trees,
brought by Lucullus from his
wars in Asia, are the ancestors of
millions o f cherry trees that

Such are the wealth and
generosity o f Nature.

ASHLAND,
Two salmon, one weighing 28
pounds and being 38 inches in
length, another tipping the scales
at 24 pounds and measured 34 in
ches in length, were the result o f
a fishing trip recently indulged
in by Sylvan Provost, C. E. Dud
ley and Dan Payne o f thid city.
The figh being persuaded out of
Savage Rapids by the skillful
manipulations of a slender trout
rod in the hands o f Mr. Provost.
Though Mr. Provost receives
the honor o f catching the two big
beauties, Dan Payne insists that
it was due to his calmness of mind
that the first fish was landed.
by
According to Mr. Dudley, who
has made somewhat o f a study on
fish, the salmon caught by Mr.
Provost are known as the royal
Chinook, an Indian name meaning
royal spring wind, the Tyee, also
an Indian name meaning King,
and the Quinnat which is a Rus
sian name meaning monarch or
ruler. Mr. Dudley asserts that the
fish, are in a splendid condition,
free from bruises and well fed.

fiuuiers have every right to ex
pect a bumper crop this year, ac
cording to County Agent R. G.
Fowler, who is in Ashland today
on his regular weekly visit.
The work is much farther ad
vanced this year than last, the
county agent stated, due to the
excellent weather that has pre
vailed throughout the late win
ter months. “ Last season, work
was considerably retarded,” said
Mr. Fowler. “ By a late spring,
but with plenty o f moisture and
warm days, the farmers have
been able to get in much o f their
spring planting,”
There has been ai considerable
increase in spring wheat this
year over last, due to weather
conditions, while the fall wheat
has shown a corresponding de-
creasa, the specialist explained.
VH^nther conditions again were
responsible for this.
While Mr. Fowler refused to
state just how much the beef
cattlemen were benefiting as the
result o f recent advances in the
cattle market, he did say that
after many years o f low prices
and adverse condition« they were
beginning to realise on their in
vestments agHin.
County Agent
Wilcox
last
week gave out an optimistic
statement regarding the fruit
and vegetable prospects for the
season and with both this type of
farmer and the man who depends
upon grain and live stock, for his
livlihood, southern Oregon has
every right to expect a most
prosperous year ahead.
