A. can be a powerful factor in the life of a community and when .functioning properly makes for great er harmony in the school life and ben efits both teachers and patrons. Let us think the matter over at any rate. Ralph Davis and family returned Monday from a delightful vacation trip to Colorado. Mrs. Davis had been there since July.

She makes her home with Mrs. Sadie Lewis. Lawrence Beach expects to go to Walla Walla soon where he will be come a student at Whitman. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Reaney are here from Salem for a visit among rela- mean a crop of 6i6.000,000 bushel. This would be larger than any winter wheat crop since li19. If a yield per acre equal to the average of the past ten year were secured (14.5 bushels) on this acreage, it would mean a crop of b86.000.000 bushels or about 40 per cent more than was harvested in 1925. In the past five years the spring wheat crop has averaged 2o3.000.0O0 bushels, which added to 586.000,000 bushels of winter wheat would make a total of 839,000,000 bushels. This would produce an exportable surplus of from 160.000,000 to 240.000.000 bu shels in the face of an upward trend in world production. The actual feed, seed and flour consumption of the present population in the United States may vary from 600,000.000 to 675.000,000 bushels. The actual re quirements or use made of the wheat crop, of course, will vary with the prices of wheat and substitutes for wheat. In years when the price of wheat is low and the price of other feeds is high the amount fed to live stock is increased. High prices for wheat may also somewhat restrict the domestic use of flour. Farmers, in planning their plant ing, should consider not only the out look for total wheat crop but also the outlook for the class of wheat which they produce. In recent years the United States has consumed for feed, seed and in mill grindings, approxi mately 230.000.000 bushels of Soft Red Winter, 200,000,000 bushels of Hard Red Winter and about 50,000,000 bushels of White wheat, in addition to practically all the Hard Red Spring wheat produced. The experience of the past few years indicates that these quantities of these classes can be disponed of within the United i States without competing in foreign ; market. Recent prices of winter wheats compared with prices last year on domestic and foreign market indi cate the significance of changea from a world market basis to a domestic basis. Last year the Hard winter wheat crop was considerably larger than the domestic requirements white the Soft Red winter was only slightly above and before the year closed was selling at a premium over Hard win ter wheat. At Chicago, for example, the average price of No. 2 Red Win ter for the year beginning July, li23, was four cents below the average for No, 2 Hard Winter, whereas last year, beginning July, 1924, it averaged 19 cents above, and at the end of the year in June, 1925, it averaged 21 cents above. The effect of this year's shortage upon prices of both the Hard and Soft Winter wheats is shown in prevailing futures prices in Chicago and Liverpool. December futures August 28 were higher in Chicago and Kansas City than in Liverpool, being 155 H in Chicago and 104- in Liverpool, whereas last year August 28 the Liverpool December futures were 15 cents above Chicago. The Foreign Situation. There is a tendency for the area seeded to wheat to increase in many countries. In Europe, the countries that were affected by the war are recovering. In 19 European countries including all important producing countries outside of Russia, which have reported for this year, the to tal area amounts to 63,592,000 acres, as compared with 61,313,000 acres in 1922. It is now 92 per cent of the estimated prewar average area in the same countries. Some of the Balkan countries have complete'y recovered and with a normal harvest may be expected to produce wheat for ex port, The extent of recovery in Rus sia is not known, but since the crop this year is expected to be large enough to provide some wheat for ex port, It is probable with normal con ditions Russia will continue to be an exporter. While European countries have been recovering production and there by reducing their requirements from other countries, the wheat areas in Australia, Argentina, and Canada have been increasing. The wheat area of Canada increased from a prewar acre- ge of 9.945.000 acres to 23,000.000 acres in 1921. Since 1921 the area has remained almost constant, being around 22.000,000 acres. There are still large areas in Canada suitable for wheat production and favorable conditions may cause further expan sion in area. The Australian wheat area has increased from a prewar average of 7,600.000 to 10,838.000 acre. Argentina reports having sown a record agreage of 18,533,000, at compared with 17,792.000 acres last year. The area reported is IS per cent higher than the prewar aver age. The wheat area of these three countries is now about 63 per cent above the prewar average. The world's production depends so much upon yields per acre that it can not be predicted upon the basis of acreage alone. In the long run, how ever, the trend of acreage largely de termines the trend of production. In considering the past year it should not be overlooked tnat tne severe winter killing in the United States Iana low yieias on ine remaining crw age have been a very important factor 1 a visit. Mrs. Bailey's sister, Mrs. Wolam and two children of Bend also came with them for a visit. Boardman was vis;ted with a rea genuine middle west e;ectnc storm Monday evening. The thunder noisy enough to frighten the timid and the lightning was vivid for this section of the country at least.

Pacific Coast states than any other oil made. An Exclusive Process What it Does Lubricating qualities have never been more carefully or successfully preserved than by the processes used at Standard Oil Company refineries for the refining of Zerolene: the Zerolene high-vacuum process, the Zero lene process of filtration through 40 tons of Florida Ful ler's Earth, the refineries' 15 positive checks for quality! What Zerolene Will Do For Your Car Zerolene will give your car better lubrication: it increases the gasoline mileage, reduces carbon-removal and maintenance costs and lengthens the life of any engine in which it is used.
