Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-1
vullis, April 1. Oregon furm crops'
acreage may bo cut down this year
by the scarcity and high cost of (arm
lubor, suys Puul Alehl, marketing spe
cialist. "Higher Iwages and shorter hours
ure drawing laborers to towns
and cities," lie observed. "Shipyards,
lumber mills and other big industries
are speeding up production to meet
increased demands. .Employment
was recently offered to thousands of
shipyard workers in SanPranclsco
through advertisements In all the
Portland papers."
Returning soldiers usually drift to
the cities, Mr. Mehl notes. After
'their war experiences they prefer
work there where hours are shorter,
wages higher, and conveniences and
entertainment better. Their concen
tration in cities does not seem to cre
ate a labor surplus, as they are read
ily absorbed Into the industries.
"Moet of those who do return to
the farms are young men working to
own a farm, or are farmers' sons,"
declares Mr. Mehl. "The great In
crease in farm property values makes
It possible for them to buy small
tracts only, as very few laborers have
capital.
"Should the government make
more lands available a good many ex
service men would return to the farm.
This Is shdwn by the many inquiries
reaching the college concerning the
lands recently opened to settlement
In southern Oregon. Long time loans
for development are offered by the
government with these tracts."
Much Hoed Corn Damaged.
A great deal of seed corn in West
ern Oregon Iwas ruined by the heavy
December freeze, and all corn not
thoroughly dried out or protected
from the low temperature was ren
dered unfit for seed. All corn should
be tested before used as Beed, warns
the farm crop department of the 0.
A. C. experiment station.
Stiver Gain Oil Silage.
When William Buckner of Granger
put up his silo last fall he began feed
ing his steers ensilage. In the 75
days of feeding one steer gained 320
pounds and two others gained all thru
the period nt the rate of three pounds
a day, says the Benton County Farm
Bureau News. They received 45
pounds of silage a day, with clover
or vetch and cheat hay.

CHANDLER SIX
Famous For Its Marvelous Motor
Two Great Chandlers
Right Out In Front
HERE are two Chandler Six models which the big and con
stantly expanding Chandler factory production has never
been able to build in volume that could supply the demand of
discriminating motor car purchasers. They are the Chandler
Six Touring Car and Dispatch Car, the former a big, handsome,
roomy, comfortable, real seven-passenger car; and the latter a
trim, smaller car, suggestive in its appearance of all the good
things of outdoor life. The Dispatch Car has a touch of snappy
style in Its clean lines, and Is strikingly finished in the beautiful
Chandler Rainbow Blue. It seats four persons in restful comfort.
Both the Chandler Six Touring and Dispatch Cars are mounted
on the same standard Chandler chassis, developed, through
seven years of manufacture, to a surpassing point of excellence
and famous for its really marvelous motor. The Chandler Car
Is priced much lower than other cars which may, perhaps,
compare with it.
If you want your new Chandler
this Spring, place your order now

YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS HERE
I have long since believed that one of
the first and most necessary requisites foi
the upbuilding of a community is good
wholesome water. Now that Heppner pro
poses to supply this factor, and having of
ten been requested to sell building sites out
of my East Side property, I have concluded
to put it on the market for sale in lots and
blocks, and the plat is now nearing comple
tion uiiiler the supervision of Mr. S. C. Mar
tin, a Civil Engineer of wide experience.
The tract is easily accessible, has a fine
view and its subdivision makes it desirable
as home sites. One of these days you will
want a home in Heppner. "Why not buy a
lot now when it can be had at a reasonable
price, on very easy' terms, and in what is
surely destined to be a most beautiful resi
dential district.
It' you have never walked up on the hill
do so now. You will be surprised at the
beauty of the location with a view scarcely
anticipated, Mt. Hood being clearly outlin
ed in the distance. Candidly, I am surpris
ed and much gratified at the easy grades
possible to reach the property, as worked
out by Mr. Martin, who is on the ground,
and who will be pleased to give any infor
mation concerning the plat.
Perhaps it is not entirely out of place
to say that in platting this property I am
as much interested in making it a beautiful
home site as I am in the profit that may be
realized, but I do not want any one to buy
unless they feel it. will be profitable to do
so. Nevertheless, I have no hesitancy in
saying that in my opinion, before you have
made your last payment, under the liberal
terms I propose to offer, the lots will have
greatly enhanced in value.
Watch this space for subsequent information.
