The high school students are busy

the gold; and it looks as though the
greens will have to get busy if they
intend to win a victory.
"Straw Farming" Found
Most Profitable Plan
Grain growers, both east and west
of the Cascade mountaiss, are be
coming very much interested in
"straw farming," as it has been
more or less derisively termed in
the past The increasing serious
ness of wind and water erosion and
steadily decreasing yields as land
becomes older has brought many
to the realization that plant residues
cannot be wasted by burning with
out resultant soil depletion, accord
ing to observation of extension ser
vice men.
In the soil erosion demonstration
areas east of the Cascades definite
methods of incorporating both
straw and stubble in the ground
have been worked out West of the
Cascades many farmers have ex
pressed the hope that the agricul
tural conservation program for 1937
will encourage this same practice.
The extent to which "straw farm
ing" has paid in some sections is
illustrated by the case of George R.
Miller, wheat grower of Belmont,
Wash., whose record in this respect
was examined recently by the Soil
Conservation service. Seven years
ago Miller started working in both
straw and stubble with a disk tiller
and found to his own satisfaction at
least that the practice Increased
his yield from 5 to 10 bushels to the
acre. He continued this practice
with some variations until last year
when his sons were still unconvinc
ed that the idea was a good one.
In 1935 and 1936 he allowed his
boys to prepare and grow 80 acres
on clean summer fallow, directly
beside 80 acres on trashy, straw
filled fallow. The yield was almost
50 per cent higher on the latter
tract
Careful experiments made under
eastern Oregon conditions where
the rainfall is probably consider
ably less than at Belmont have not
shown the marked yield advantage
In favor of trashy fallow. In fact

How often do we take the exper
iences of life more seriously than
we do the promises of God. We
allow ourselves to become so con
fused with the problems of " life,
that we are almost helpless and
hopeless. What a wonderful thing
it is when we can take a promise
like .the following and make it a
part of our every day living:
"Do not be anxious about any
thing; but under all circumstances
by prayer and entreaty joined with
thanksgiving, make your needs
known to God. Then the Peace of
God, which is beyond all human un
derstanding, will stand guard over
our hearts and thoughts, through
our union with Christ Jesus. And
my God out of the greatness of His
wealth will, in glory, fully satisfy
our every need, through our union
with Christ Jesus." Philippians 4,
6, 7-7, 19. If you are in need of a
church home we extend to you a
warm welcome.

Next week our regular services

ning. in some years actual yield has been
in favor of the clean fallow on a
short time basis. Instances where
farmers have followed the practice
of turning under stubble and straw
for a considerable number of years,
however, show the land to be in
better condition and more produc
tive than where straw and stubble
burning has been practiced. Re
gardless of slight fluctuations in
yield, however, it is the opinion of
soils men that the erosion factor
alone is going to compel the incor
poration of straw and stubble into
the soil.

Reduced Debt
Red Tape.
Betting Income.
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. Oregons' 36 counties re-1
duced their bond and warrant debt
burden by nearly $3,000,000 during
the past two years, according to a
survey just completed by State
Treasurer Rufus C. Holman.
Every county In the state shows a
reduction in its outstanding indebt
edness during the two year period
with Clatsop wiping out its debt en
tirely to join Linn and Marion for
a total of three counties which now
boast a clean slate with neither out
standing bonds or warrants. Six
other counties, in addition to these
three, have no outstanding bonds.
These are Columbia, Douglas, Jose
phine, Polk, Umatilla and Wash
ington. The aggregate bonded debt of the
counties is shown to have been re
duced from $24,051,452 on July 1,
1934, to $21,365,054 on the same date
this year.
Road warrants of the counties,
however, show an increase from
$750,086.63 to $1,060,953.71 in the
two year period but the combined
bond and road warrant debt was
whittled from $24,801,538.63 to $22,
426,007.71. Sinking funds for the
retirement of road bonds were built
up from a total of $1,367,965.66 on
July 1, 1934, to $1,409,105.31 on July
1, 1936.
Most of the counties are shown
to have reduced their general fund
warrant indebtedness during the
past two years, the aggregate of
this debt being whittled from $2,
698,202.47 to $2,183,798.82.
The net indebtedness of the 36
counties, including all bonds and
Warrants but deducting sinking
funds, totalled $23,200,701.22 on July
1, this year, compared with $26,131,
777.44 two years ago.
Only three counties Coos, Crook
and Grant are shown to have a debt
load in excess of five percent of
their assessed valuations and only
three others Morrow, Multnomah
and Wheeler are indebted for more
than four percent of their valua
tions. Columbia county with a debt ratio
of only 0.12 percent is shown to be
carrying the lightest proportionate
debt load of any of the counties
which still have outstanding bonds
or warrants while Coos county with
a debt ratio of 5.59 percent is carry
ing the heaviest proportionate load.
Orville Gamble, superintendent of
the employment institution for
adult blind is again under fire. Four
members of his advisory board have
signed a formal complaint address
ed to Gov. Martin and the board
of control charging Gamble with
failure to cooperate with his ad
visors. Friction between Gamble
and his advisory boferd last spring
resulted in the removal of three of
the board members by Governor
Martin and the appointment of
three new members. The present
situation is expected to culminate
either in the removal of the super
intendent or another shake-up in
his advisory board.
,
The forest fire situation in Coos
and Curry counties has kept Gov
ernor Martin pretty close to his of
fice the past ten days. On the Sun
day following the destruction of
Bandon the governor spent the en
tire day in his office directing mo
bilization of fire fighters and con
tacting state and federal relief
agencies to rush emergency sup
plies into the stricken area. The
governor did not even take time
out to celebrate his 73rd birthday
on Thursday of last week.
The newly organized flax cooper
atives at Mount Angel, Canby and
Springfield will receive the whole
hearted cooperation of the state
board of control in any problem
arising in connection with these
projects. The board, after a con
ference with representatives of the
three associations, announced that
the state would not contract for
any flax In the territory covered by
CASH FOR
and EGGS
the cooperatives. The prison flax
plant, however, will take over any
surplus flax which either of the co
operatives find themselves burdened
with. Plans are under way for In
creasing the acreage of flax In the
Willamette valley to 4000 next year.
PWA red tape has necessitated
postponement of the date for open
ing bids on the state capltol job un
til the latter part of November. The
capitol commission at a meeting
this week set the date for award
ing the contract tentatively at No
vember 20 with a possibility that the
tme might have to be extended still
another week until November 27.
Purchase of 6595 acres of timber
ed land in the Mary's Peak section
of Benton county was recommend
ed to the federal forest reservation
commission several months ago by
the state board of forestry. The
area will be added to the national
forest. Cutting of timber on this
tract, It is understood, will be placed
strictly on a sustained yield basis.
State police presented arrest tick
ets to 665 motorists during August
while 6220 other motorists drew
warning slips during the month.
Failure to possess an operators' li
cense caused the arrest of 102 mo
torists while 55 others were cited to
appear in court to answer speeding
charges.
