Give Us Your Order Now GILLIAM & B1SBEE Twenty-five hundred dollars for little over half an spi-a nf unculti vated Clackamas county land. This is the price paid by Sam Jackson, editor of the Portland Journal last week for 66-100 of an acre known as the old hatchery site. The wealthy editor of the Port land Journal needed the little tract as an addition to his beautiful summer home at Clear Creek, where he and his coterie of wealthy Port landers wile away their week-ends far from the busy whirl of city life. The purchase was nobody's bus iness except Mr. Jackson's, of course, and yet the transactions calls for some casual observations which may or may not be pertinent. Mr. Jackson is the self-proclaimed guardian of the interests,, of the struggling farmer, and the down trodden laboring man, if his editor ial fiaee in the Journal is to be seriously considered. He is the arch enemy of the land grabber, the real estate speculator, and the owner of idle lands. It's a fight to a finish, with the Portland Journal sounding the bugle, and carrying the banner at the head of the parade. So reads the Journal editorial page. Now for the moment Editor Jack son steps down and out of his edi torial page and takes part in a little real estate deal which has proven to be a rather astounding transaction, when land values in the Clear Creek country are considered. Editor Jackson's magnificent country villa is located about six miles east of Oregon City in what is known as the Baker's Bridge country. There are some good farms in the community, there are some good lands, and some mighty good people, but the com bination does not warrant the estab lishment of a precedent of fixing land values at $3800 an acre. No one but Mr. Jackson would have paid the price, it is true, and it is .also true that had anyone but Mr. Jackson gone into such a speculation nothing would have been thought about the matter.- Real homeseek erS) men of the soil who want to purchase farms, for AGRICULTUR AL purposes who have been finding solace in the Journal's campaign against the land speculators, in the hope that farm land prices would be brought within reach of the man of limited capital, are now watching the effect of Mr. Jackson's action. A deal of this knd does not bring new opportunities to the man of limited means. The effect Is indirect, but nevertheless far-reaching. Clackamas lands are rich, they are worth money and the man who sells is entitled to, and should receive a good price a fair price. But $2500 for 66-100 of an acre of uncultivated farm land is too much money alto gether, in Clackamas or any other county. It is to be hoped that Mr. Jackson will find his new venture a payin? investment that will eventually reap big dividends. Just what use will be i made of the little tract is not known, ! but there is no doubt that it was a much ndeded little corner for his i magnificent country estate. The rich editor of the Portland Journal evidently wanted it, the owner was hunted up, and the deal was made. FOR SALE House and lot in Heppner. 13 good fruit trees; good garden spot.

Company The Stars and Stripee, the news paper published for the American Expeditionary Forces In France, re cently printed the following regard ing the work of former members of the scientific staff of the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture: "As you may have heard 5 or 11 times already, this is a scientific war. Whenever an annoyance or an actual menace to the Army is discovered, scientific stops are taken to an nihilate the pest. "Even tho cootie is doomed. It is said that the research work Is In charge of an officer to be designated as a cootenant. But this story is about rats. . "The rat, figuratively, Is about to be trapped. A year or so ago there was a man a member of the Bio logical Survey who had great suc cess in exterminating the prairie dog3 out in Kansas and Colorado. When America came into the war, some body in the War Department sug gested that maybe this scientific ex terminator of prairie dogs was so good at that job he might be able to solve the rat problem in the trenches. So they ordered him over here to give the rats a critical and micro scopic look. "He came over and went up front and studied the rodent. He studied it by and large, hither and yon, here and there, and through and through. He found out what It liked for supper, and its favorite flower and 'how it cared for Its young,' and he doped out a way to lessen Its ravages if not actually to exterminate it. "He found out too, that not all the rat trouble is at the front. A large part of It Is at the base ports, where the rats get into the,big storehouses, and cause damage to the food and clothing waiting to go to the front. Often the rats go right along up with the food and clothing. "The rat specialist made his report and recommended that some men be sent to assist him. It is said that his request has been granted and that, a successful barrage against tho rat already has been laid down." Prof. D. W, Boitnott this week tradtd the property recently pur chased of Gay M. Anderson, just south of the depot, to George Steven son, taking therefor the Stovenson property at the north end of Main street. Mr. Boitnott will move at once into his new home and thereby be much nearer his work at the school. Cleve Walton cam over from Long Creek Tuesday on his way to Portland. Mr. Walton is now pro prietor of the Long Creek Merchan tile Co., the largest institution of the kind Is Northern Grant county.

Summer Fallowed Fields and Areas in Cultivated Crops Are Prom ising Lands. Corvallis, Oregon, Oct. 8. With planting conditions in Oregon all favorable this fall, the one-fourth increase in the winter wheat acreage asked for by the government and the Oregon Agricultural College can be exceeded by every county in . the state, declares G. It. Hyslop, farm crops specialist. The increased win ter acreage may be made upt; largely new lands. Planting summer fallow. Planting every acre of corn, bean or potato lands. Planting 10 to 40 per cent spring wheat lands except Harney, Lake and Klamath, and higher parts of Crook, Deschutes, Grant and Wheel er. The planting of lands that would grow greater tonnage of other food materials to winter wheat is not desired. Neither does the college recommend the planting of stubble in the dry areos of the state. "In spite of seed shortage and lobor scarcty last year Or.egon farm ers plonted an enormous acreage of wheat. They are now called on to increase this amount by at least 5 per cent. Many farmers lose about 5 bushels per acre by planting spring wheat, but this potential addition to the crop Is needed to build a reserve In 1919, if the crop Is good. If poor, ' It is needed to assure a normal food supply." '. Mrs. W. L. Houston came in from Parkers Mill on Sunday and departed on Monday for Portland, where she will attend the annual state convention of the W. C. T. U. meeting in that city during this week.
