OREGON VS. CALIFORNIA
The editor of the Medford Mail Tribune has recently
been on an auto trip through California and has been send
ing his paper some impressions gathered on the trip one
of which, printed under the caption, "What's Wrong With
Oregon," we herewith reproduce:
What is the matter with Oregon? And what isn't the
matter with California? An cx-Oregonian now living in
California, undertook to answer the question today. lie
wasn't particularly original. He said Californians work
ed together and Oregonians didn't. That's old stuff and
somehow sounds too simple. But his explanation may be
interesting. This is what he said in part:
"Look at this little town of Corning. They are all pull
ing together. You go into a grocery store or a drug store
and they all talk as iff they were secretaries of the cham
ber of commerce. They don't boost their competitors
they boost Corning. It's the best little town in creation;
it grows the best olives in the world, the best flavored
oranges do you know the north California flavor? and
the scenery (which by the way is no scenery at all) is
something, inspiring. Have you seen Mt. Lassen in the
sunset.and have you been up in the towner and looked over
the salubrious landscape? ,
"I don't know where they get that sort of spirit, but they
do get it, and it's the spirit of California. They all work
together, and they work everyone else. If a rancher does
not make a success they don't say 'that's hard luck. Poor
Jones is broke.' They all chip in and find out what's wrong
and proceed to correct the error. The bankers work with
the ranchers, loan them money at 6 or 7 per cent, and if
the right type of queen olives aren't in the ground, they
proceed to see that the proper trees are put in or the old
trees are properly grafted. It isn't Jones' problem. It is
Coming's problem, and California's problem., Oregon has
more natural wealth than northern California ever dream
ed of, but Oregon wastes her time knocking and growling
and blaming the other fellow. Corning is after more irri
gation now and when I say Corning, 1 say every man and
woman in it. They are all out for water. They have ar
tesian wells now and pump their water. It costs from $4
to $10 per acre, every year. lint they want water storage
and they are going to get it. I don't know why there
should be one spirit north of the Siskiyous and another en
tirely different spirit south, but there is. 1 know for I have
lived on both sides."
Yes, that's old stuff, and still one bonders if it is all
Ltink. I did meet one rancher about 70 miles north of San
Francisco who had a savage dog, a lot of chickens and
some mules. lie didn't object to giving a thirsty passer
by a drink, but when asked how things were progressing
he didn't chirp a California nightingale. '
"Rotten," said he, with a decided German accent. "I
used to be a cobbler in San Erancisco and I though': I !
would be happie-r if I grew something and lived in the j
country. Well, I ain't. Grain is too high and eggs too low i
and there ain't no rain any more and I wisli I was back in j
my shop in San Francisco. So does mama. And my oldest '
boy he died List winter with the flu. No, I don't like this j
country business. You can't make a living at it."
Hut he is still loyal to California. He doesn't want to
move to Salt Lake City or Chicago, lie wiants to go back
to San l'Yancisco.
Probably that's the California spirit too with reverse
English, so to speak.

CEItTIFIED PURE SEED
POTATOES HAVE ARRIVED
Morrow county is not producing
its quota of potatoes as in the past
according to many of the old resi
dents of the county. This may be
due to several reasons but one of
the outstanding reasons is that the
yields in most cases are not as good
as formerly. This is not due to de
pleted conditions of the soil for we
have a very fertile soil. We are
in need of good seed sed that is
free from diseases which cause low
yield and off-typo potatoes.
"Infection with some form of wilt
is often the cause of off-type pota
toes and the little ones often are
small because of wilt or mosaic,"
says Prof. G. R. Hyslop, of O. A. C,
in his recent bulletin on seed potato
improvement.
These diseases cannot be controll
ed except by planting clean seed on
ground that has not been planted tc
potatoes for three or four years. All
seed potatoes should bo treated in

Make Your Money
Work For You
The reason some people seem so prosperous
under all conditions is often because they
have money at work for them. They have
saved a reasonable portion of their earnings
and placed it in the bank on interest. They
are then assured of a certain definite income
every year.
You have to work for your money. Then
make your money work for you. Two dol
lars per week placed in a savings account
every year for ten years will amount with
interest to over $1,300.00. Can you not save
two dollars per week?
We pay 4 per cent interest and compound
every six months. We would be pleased to
have you open an account with us.

good seed iti used.
Since no good seefl' IS grown in
Morrow county the matter of ship
ping in seed was discussed. Ques
tionnaires were sent out by county
agent to determine the seed needed.
The demand for certified seed was
not sufficient to justify a car load
shipment so it looked as though
each man would havo to buy seed
from a list of certified seed growers
furnished by tho county agent.
Judge Campbell, who is a booster
for certified seed, conceived an idea
that will enable growers to get SO
to 100 sacks which is a decided help.
A county truck will be sent to Wes
ton for a load of certified NettecK
Gems tho last of this week. These
will cost two dollars a hundred at
Weston plus the hauling charges !.
Heppner. This is thought to be a
very reasonable price for certified
seed. The county agent believ
this seed will .demonstrate its super
iority over local seed if given a fair
chance in good, clean soil.
Sixteen sacks of this load had
been spoken for by Monday noon.
Further orders should be phoned to
the county agent at once as the
small supply cannot last long.
The truck load of potatoes arrived
from Milton last Saturday.
