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.

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."

ASK ONE-FOUUTH INCREASE IN
WINTETl WHEAT ACREAGE.
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."
