Dispatches from Chicago state the visible wheat supply in the United States sugrpests the smallest stocks per capita of which there is record. March 1 the supply comprised 208, 000,000 bushels as compared with 221, 000,000 bushels at the same time last year. Rust Attacks Valley Grain. State Market Agent Spence reports considerable rust apparent on the wheat and oat fields of the Willam ette Valley, and that many of the fields will be more or less damaged. Big Fruit Crop Indicated. Reports from many sections of the Willamette Valley are that there will be a jrenerally large crop this year weather conditions having been most favorable for all varieties. Flax Better Than Oats. George R. Hyslop of the farm crop department of the O. A. C, says that as there will doubtless be a large carry-over of corn in the east and middle west, and as there is consid erable carry-over of oats in Oregon, the chances are that the oat price will be low this year, and with this and the guaranteed price 0? flax in view, he believes that at least $5 an acre over similar plantings of oats may be realized except on exceedingly rich land. But even at that the oat yields will have to exceed 60 to 75 bushels an acre. Mr. Hyslop says he feels safe in the general recommen dation that flax be planted in lieu of oats in many places in Washington, Clackamas, Yamhill, Marion, Linn, Benton, Lane and Douglas counties, in western Oregon, and in Wallowa, Union, Baker and Crook counties in Eastern Oregon. Federal Officials Coming. W. H. Sampson of the Department of Agriculture of Washington, D. C, specialist in fruit and vegetable stan dardization, will be in Portland April 12 and 13, when he will meet with the State Board of Horticulture at its annual meeting, on grade matters. Richest of Alt Nations. The Department of Commerce esti mates that the wealth of the United States is around $350,000,000,000, mak ing it the richest nation on earth. If this country is to continue as the world's leading nation, agriculture must be stabilized, says the State Market Agent. "Industrialism is go ing ahead at record-breaking pace, while agriculture is slipping back, and it seems to me that the country cannot long have general prosperity with two standards. Commenting on this situation the National Farm News of Washington, D. C, says: "Either the farmer must make a profit out of his toil or he must stop fanning, and when the day arrives for LUMBER measured with the GOLDEN RULE We are ready to meet your building needs! Our yards are stocked with seasoned highest grade lumbers bought in large quantities when the market was right to cut your building costs. You'll also do better if you buy your brick, tile, cement and other materials from us. At your service. TUM-A-LUM LUMBER CO.

CHURCH SCHOOL HAS TWO PLEASANT EASTER PARTIES The church school of All Saints' Episcopal church gave two very pleas ant Easter parties for the pupils. On Saturday afternoon the little folks enjoyed their customary egg hunt in doors, owing to the rainy weather. The Easter rabbit was present with gifts of Easter candy to all, and games were played. One feature was a birthday cake, and the birthday of fering was taken to be sent to mis sions. The older members of the church school met on Monday afternoon for a social time when Mrs. Pruyn's birth day was fittingly celebrated.

The amount of its ser vice to its dpeositors often depends on the bank balances they maintain. This bank must carefully protect the funds deposited here by its depositors. Money can be loaned only when we feel sure that it will be safe. When a depositor main tains a reasonably large, steady balance, it is an indica tion to us that he knows how to use money successfully. It gives us a reason to believe that loans to him will be safe. That is one reason why depositors who maintain large balances get better service from their bank. They are entitled to it. And even more than that, a large balance provides the depositor with sufficient funds to take care of emer gencies and business opportunities that may arise.
