OUR SPRING LINE FOR 1915 Commencing March 1, seven tons of acclimated seed corn will be dis tributed among farmers in the terri tory served by the O.-W. R. & N. railroad by C. L. Smith, the com pany's farmer. It is the intention to see that each farmer receives enough seed to plant at least two acres, which will enable him to prove to his own satisfaction that it can be made a success. The high price of wheat making impossible the use of that grain for stock feed, a greater acre age of corn will be planted next spring tnan ever before and special efforts will be made to preserve the fodder to take the place of hay in feeding cattle. A trail from the Columbia to the summit of Larch Mountain is to be built by the co-operation of the Port land Ad. Club, the Progressive Busi ness Men's Club, the Mazamas and other civic organizations. It will not be available for automobiles, but will make it easy to climb the moun tain on foot or horseback. , i It is stated that in the Willamette Valley many farmers are plowing up clover fields, and even clearing up brush lands, for the purpose of in creasing their wheat acreage, indicat ing that, the coming season will see the biggest grain crop ever harvested in Western Oregon.
