What Makes Us What
We Are?
Recently there came into my pos
session the photographs of five bro
thers whom I have known very well
all my life. The pictures were tak
en when the eldest of the five was
only eight years old.
The first thing that impressed me
was the resemblance of each one
to all the others. Anybody, looking
at them, would have known at once
that they are children of the same
father and mother.
Even more striking was the fact
that today, when their average age
is forty, they seem to have changed
very little. I had no difficulty in
laying the baby pictures on the
desk and saying: "This is Joe, and
this is John."
One might almost Jump to the
conclusion, from such an exhibit,
that experience and will-power have
very little to do with character.
Yet I know that each of these five
boys has been changed, and by the
exercise of his own free will.
The hot temper of the eldest has
been cooled by self-control; he has
become far sweeter and more toler
ant The Impatience of another, which
made him quick to start new things
and quick to leave them half finish
ed, has been transformed into
steady staying power.
By exercise and self-discipline the
physical weakness of a third has
been built up into solid health.
Another told me that he and his
wife went to an orphan asylum to
adopt a little boy. " For a couple of
hours they watched two hundred
youngsters playing on the floor. One
of them was trying to fit the cover
onto a tin can. Time after time
he struggled to push It into place,
only to take it off and start all over
again.
"We'll take that baby," said the
man. "He will be a worker."
I discussed this subject once with
a shrewd observer of the human
race. He mentioned the man who
had been the leader of his class at
college and has never been heard
of since.
"Perhaps he had some hidden ill
ness," I said. "Perhaps he just
couldn't amount to anything."
My friend disagreed vigorously.
"He could have changed himself,"
he said. "Deep down in his heart
that man knows why he failed."
Personally, I believe this. The
pictures of my five friends tend to
confirm this belief. They are what
they were as children, but they are
also different
Each has moulded himself, and
not merely been moulded. Not birth
alone, but will power, has made
them what they are.
New Wheat Variety is
Proving High Yielder
A new wheat variety that prom
ises to be exceptionally valuable in
Eastern Oregon has been developed
by the Oregon Experiment station
by crossing Federation with Forty
fold. Several such crosses were
made, one of which outyielded all
other fall varieties at the Pendleton
and Moro branch stations last year.
The new wheat has the characteris
tics of Federation plus winter hard
iness.
More information on grain var
ieties throughout the state is being
gathered this month by the experi
ment station and extension service
through thousands of simple ques
toinnaires sent out by county agents
to grain farmers. It is hoped to
gain the first authentic information
on the acreage and yields of various
varieties of wheat, oats and barley
grown In each county.

More Machinery Used
On Farm Than Before
Power farmlnsr has snread an ran.
idly that it is now estimated Hint
there are 853,000 tractors on Ameri

ing mechanical power now produce
irom two to five times as much as
similar workers In the older Euro
pean countries.
To meet demand for more infor
mation on installation, use and re
pair of power equipment the agri
cultural engineering department at
Oregon State college has announced
a power farming short course to be
given on the campus January 6 to
18.

Ewes Pay Well for All
Labor, Feed, Interest
When wool is worth 35c a pound
and lamb 10c a pound, farm ewes
will pay $10 a ton for hay, $30 a
ton for grain, 8 per cent on live
stock investment 40c an hour for
labor and rent for all pasture.
This is the conclusion reached in
a study just completed at Oregon
State college on the cost of produc
ing sheep on western Oregon farms.
The study was made by O. M. Nel
son, professor of animal husbandry,
and results are published in bulletin
form. While the findings apply par
ticularly to western Oregon, the bul
letin constitutes a handbook of In
formation, much of which is applic
able throughout the state.
FARM POINTERS.
Recent studies by Geroge O. Gat-
lin, marketing specialist of Oregon
State college, show that there are
15 cooperative organizations doing
business in this state. An appraisal
of the present situation and sug
gestions as to the trend of future
develpment are contained in a bul
letin just published and ready for
free distribution, entitled "Coopera
tive Marketing and Purchasing in
Oregon in 1929."
Pruning is regarded as a "neces
sary evil, a certain amount of

distributed framework is to be built
up in young trees, says the Oregon
Experiment station.
