HEPPNER, OREGON
Salem, August 2. The Slate In
dustrial Accident Commission today
approved the claim of the dependent
widow of Mr. Walter H. Howell, res
ident of Route No. 1, The Dalles, who
was killed while employed by the
Manchester Lumber Company on July
20th, 1915. Death came to him in
attempting to put a belt onto live
wheels without stopping the machin
ery. The widow being only eighteen
years of age has an expectancy period
of forty-three years, four months and
seventeen days. During the remain
der of her life or widowhood she will
receive a compensation of $30.00 per
month from the State.
The Commission directed the State
Treasurer to set aside in the Segre
gated Accident Fund the sum of $7,
357.77. This amount will be iinest
ed in securities, so that the princi
pal and compound interest will pay
her during her lifetime $15,617.00,
if she lives the full period of expect
ancy. Should she live longer she will
continue to receive $30.00 per month
until death, except that in case of
marriage, the obligation of the State
shall be cancelled by lump payment
to her of $300.00. The widow is as
sured of this pension, as after it has
been set aside for this purpose by this
Commission, the law provides that
it cannot be appropriated for any oth
er purpose. The money Is paid by
the State directly to the widow and
is not subject to assignment and can
not pass from the State Into other
hands than hers, through any process
of the law or of the courts.

HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Auguust 2. Farmers can con
tribute much to the development of
Improved agriculture by making rec
ords of their most successful farm
operations. It is altogether likely
that if all farm practices in Oregon
were as good as the best that has
been developed by some farmer, the
general level of agriculture would be
materially raised. Ey making a de
tailed record of the various steps by
which the result was secured the
farmer would be able to repeat and
also to help others. The facts of the
record could be published in the home
newspaper and if general interest in
agricultural papers and the Agricul
tural College Press Bulletins.
This thought was made vivid by
examining a six-year record of ex
periments on the Umatilla Experi
ment Farm. "This report," explain
ed Professor C, I. Lewis, "was pre
pared by R. W. Allen, superintendent
of the farm. It makes use of the
loose leaf system so that records are
progressive by inserting a new leaf
descriptive of each addition to the ex
periment. When the experiments are
completed there is an accurate and
detailed record of each step with no
other matter mixed in with it. A
glance will show whether the results
were good, and if they were it is easy
to repeat them. If not, they may
be thrown away."
Of course this is more elaborate
record-making than is adapted to the
farmer's use, but an account of the
main steps, such as plowing, fertiliz
ing, preparing seed bed, culture, har
vesting and marketing or storing and
using, would not require much work
and would in many cases afford a
veritable mine of valuable informa
tion. Farmers of Southern Lane
County are invited to send in stories
of success to the Cottage Grove Senti
nel, which will give them wide puhli
cation in that part of the state.
Doubtless other papers would also
give space to stories of success and
how it was achieved, since the gen
eral welfare of an agricultural com
munity depends largely upon the pro
gress of agriculture.

His Honey.
A San Francisco man tells of a
flower, growing abundantly near San
ta Barbara, which is peculiarly at
tractive to bees.
"Now," he says, "there was a
young Californian, particularly fond
of honey, who used to visit a certain
Santa Barbara hostelry because such
a superior sort of this nectar was to
be had there.
"This young man married in due
course, and the wedding trip Included
Santa Barbara, so that the bride
might taste this superb honey. But
to his dismay no honey appeared on
the breakfast table the first morning
of their stay. The groom frowned.
He called the old familiar waiter ov
er to him. .
" 'Where's my honey?' he demand
ed. "The waiter hesitated, looked awk
wardly at the bride, and then bent
toward the young man's ear and in a
hoarse whisper stammered, 'Why,
Marie don't work here any more,
sir.' " Harper's Magazine.
