LEGGE SAID TO BE
A HARD WORKER
Hyslop Recounts Experiences With
Farm Board Leader in East;
Discusses Wheat Flans.
FARM POINTERS.
A cover crop grown and plowed
under the year previous to planting
berries, bulbs, bush fruits or tree
fruits is good soil management
Standard varieties of barley are
cheaply produced in Oregon and
make better feed than much of the
corn or barley that is shipped in,
says the experiment station. Late
summer is a good time to lay in a
seed while there is plenty and the
price is reasonable.
Ordinary 1 x 12 inch boards are
used for blanching celery in West
ern Oregon, one being placed on
each side of the row and held at the
top by a bent piece of heavy wire.
Boards are not left in place long
after it is ready for harvest as the
celery becomes pithy, says the ex
periment station.
Chairman Alexander Legge of the
farm board is a picturesque char
acter who talks straight from the
shoulder, and is a hard worker who
gets to his office early, says G. R.
Hyslop, head of the farm crops de
partment at O. S. C. who .met the
chairman in Washington last win
ter and appeared on the program
with him at the recent Pendleton
meeting.
"A story is told about Legge at
tending a Washington function at
which the president was a guest,"
recalled Hyslop. "About 9:30 or 10
o'clock he started to leave but was
advised that no one left such a func
tion before the president Well, if
that's so, I'll see him about it," said
Legge, and proceeded to do so. Af
ter a short conference he apparently
convinced the president that it was
time to go home so he was soon
able to leave in accordance with
Washington custom."
Chairman Legge believes that
much of the marketing difficulty
with grain comes from dumping
such a large percentage of the crop
on the market within a few days
after harvest, reports Professor Hy
slop. when asked why the farm
board didn't stop futures trading in
grain, Legge replied that the board
had no such authority and would
not use it if it had under present
conditions.
Professor Hyslop differs some
what with the board chairman as to
acreage limitation in the northwest,
pointing out that on the dry lands
with less than 18 inches of rainfall
production of wheat la the most
successful type of agriculture.
"The most feasible program for
this area," he says, "appears to be
along the lines of cheaper produc
tion, better control of smut, further
reduction of cash costs, better as
sembling and marketing methods,
more work toward cheap water
transportation, and equitable dis
tribution of costs of government so
that agriculture does not carry
more than its proportionate share
of the load."
Hood River More reduction of
potato yields from virus diseases
than from any other factor was
shown to exist here by a field tour
of the potato region near Parkdale
made by 35 farmers and 4-H potato
club members, in company with
Professor G. R. Hyslop of O. S. C.
Professor Hyslop advised frequent
introduction of certified seed from
districts with less aphis activity
and consequently less spread of vi
rus diseases.
Heppner Mosida wheat, a new
variety which has been giving ex
cellent yields in the Pilot Rock sec
tion, was tried out In Morrow coun
ty this year by Jeff Jones of Hepp.
ner, where it produced five bushels
more per acre than Fortyfold, a va
riety growing near it This show
ing attracted the interest of other
farmers and three truck loads of
seed have been obtained1 from Pilot
Rock growers by S. G. McMillan
and J. McMillan of Lexington and
D. M. Ward of lone.

PUZZLE
Driver A was going East; driver B was go
ing West. Both were known as careful driv
ers, but something went wrong ; they had an
accident. Other cars were on the road, but
as often happens even the testimony of the
eye-witnesses was conflicting. Whose fault
was it?
If you were either A or B would you be worried
about the blame and the ultimate cost?
Let us talk over ADEQUATE Insurance protection.

Wise Old Ben
Ben Franklin once said: "If you
would know the value of money, go
out and try to borrow some."
Didn't Ben say a real mouthful
there? Ever tried it? Strange, but
the value of money to you increases
when you haven't any. May we of
fer one little word of advice? SAVE
a little from your earnings. Deposit
in a good, reliable Bank like ours. It
will establish your credit. Possibly
then you may not even have to bor
row. Think it over.
