Farmers Find Station
Has Increased Work
Different Crops and Improved Var
ieties Inspected for L'se on
Their Own Farms
New crops to replace some of the
old that have failed to make good
on Oregon farms, anu new varieties
of the old standbys were Inspected
by fanners from Rainier to Rot-.eburg
on the annual field days at the ex
periment station, Corvallis. Better
treatment of soils to get more profit
able yields and still keep up fertil
ity, and new facts on feeding and
handling farm livestock, cows and
poultry, were other things picked
up.
Getting bigger yields by changing
the crops in regular cycles, was one
thing. The farmers say fields that
had grown beans every year for 14
years and the average was low, only
about 9 bushels an acre. Alongside
other fields were seen growing beans
every third year with barley and
clover between times, and the aver
age yield for the 14 years was 18
bushels of beans. The profit was
more than twice as great in the ro
tation, and the soil U still good, while
the all-bean fields are so run down
as to produce five or six bushels in
the later years.
How to increase cherry yields 3000
to 10,000 pounds an acre was seen
in the orchard work. The big sweet
cherries best of their kind In the
United States are shy bearers and
late, unless pollenized by a suitable
variety. Trees planted before this
fact was found by the station may
be top-worked with varieties named
to the farmers and thus get the
big crops.
If you want 15 bushels more pota
toes an acre, everything else the same
cut and plant only the blossom ends
for seed, was one lesson. Prune your
trees right and help them grow, bear,
or two of the other 11 best suited to
or sell, 62 of the 63 kinds of wheat
grown in the state and grow the one
or two of hte ohter 11 best suited to
your lands for bigger profits, was
still a third.

It is the effect of rain, wind and sun
on theunpainted parts of a house that
"weathers" it that makes it age and
decay. But when a house is well painted,
the tough, elastic "film" of paint shields
the surface like a rubber coat protects
a man.
All Fuller house paints and stains, Pure 1'rrpjred
Paint, Phoenix Pure Paint, Pioneer Shingle Stain;
and Concreta for stucco, brick and concrete ur
faces, have high protective properties as well as or
namental value. They are manufactured from for
mulas that are the result of " years paint-malcuif
experience. Fuller paint products give long, posi
tive protection.
Get in touch with master painter before the weath
er causes your house to show signs of decay. Or
write to our Service Department for advice and i
copy of the free "Home Service" booklet. What
ever your painting need, W. P, Fuller & Co. make
a paint for the purpose.

PpONSIDER seriously
: the earning power of
money.
Wh
enever
you spend money foolishly you
are not only losing this actual

earn for you as long as you live.
How much money have you

once in a while and see how
he is coming out financially.
