IONE FOLKS ENTERTAIN
Louis Bergevin and his commit
tee of lone folks who put on the
entertainment for ladies night at the
Elks last Thursday got a big hand
from the crowd. Charles McElligott
in the role of south sea island hip
slinger, P. J. O'Meare and Fred
Mankin as clogger and tap dancer,
all in appropriate stage costumes,
played stellar roles. So well dis
guised were many of the male en
tertainers who made up the or
chestra and old-time dancing troupe
that Sherlock Holmes' detective
powers would have been hard-tasked
to penetrate to personalities. Carl
Allyn and Gar Swanson were del
initelv demure in feminine attire
while Bert Mason could easily have
been taken for a lad of sixteen. Em
est Lundell's fiddlin' was made
somewhat jerky by spasms of laugh
tor. Inne ladies officiated at the re
freshment table and played Hostess
for the ladies at cards during the
lodge session, Mrs. Bergevin and
Mrs. Werner Rietmann heading the
receiving line. Merrill's orchestra
played dancing tunes.

Gill Summarizes
Rural Problems
At OSC Meeting
Nn one panacea will ever solve
America's farm problems, although
more adequate organization is the
first essential, Ray Gill, master of
the Oregon State grange, told lec
turers from 151 local granges who
attended the three-day lecturers'
school at Oregon State college.
Gill was principal speaker at the
lecturer's banquet which was one
of the social events sandwiched in
between sessions crowded with in
structional activity designed to pre
pare the officers to direct more ben
eficial and enjoyable programs at
the local grange meetings.
Among factors entering into the
complicated agricultural situation
today as listed by Gill are unem
ployment, monopolies which fix
prices, increased taxes, transporta
tion costs, discriminating tariffs,
wars, and corporation farming.
Fundamental factors in maintain
ing virile rural life in America, Gill
told the lecturers, are organization,
education, research to develop new
uses for farm products, attention to
the welfare of youth, development of
rural leadership, and the adherence
to high ideals. He emphasized par
ticularly that the maintenance of
the family-sized farm in contrast to
the tendency toward corporation
farming is the "bulwark of defense
for our democracy."
Speaking of need for organization
among farmers, Gill pointed out that
Oregon is much better off in this
respect than many states, though
compared with labor and many
branches of industry, farmers still
lag in organization work even here.
Snow Supply in State
Bigger Than Year Ago
Greatly improved snow conditions
throughout most of the Oregon wa
tershed are reported as of March 1
in the irrigation water forecast bul
letin issued by the Medford branch
experiment station where cooperat
ive federal-state snow course data
are compiled and analyzed.
Above elevations of 5000 feet, wa
ter content of 25 snow courses doub
led during the month of February,
as compared with January. Below
5000 feet the water content of 19
courses nearly tripled in that per
iod. In Oregon as a whole snow wa
ter content was slightly greater on
March 1, 1939, than a year earlier.
At elevations from 3000 to 5000 feet
the snow water content was about
a fourth greater than at the same
time a year ago.
The greatest increase in snow cover
appears to have occurred in the
Walla Walla, Umatilla, and Rogue
river basins, although material in
crease is also found on the head
waters of the Clackamas river, the
report shows. Final water supply
forecasts will be issued early in
April.
Bacteria in Cultures
Equal National Debt
One bacterium for each dollar in
the national debt, or approximately
40 billion, are contained in each
bottle of nitrogen-fixing bacteria
cultures now ready for distribution
by the department of bacteriology
of the agricultural experiment sta
tion at OSC.
Seven different groups of cultures
are available. One group will in
oculate most of the vetches and peas.
A second serves alfalfa and sweet
clover. Group three is used for most
other kinds of clover. Most of the
garden and field beans, including
the scarlet runners, are iii another
group, while cow peas, lima beans,
lespedeza and the peanut can be
innoculated with a single culture.
The sixth culture is confined to the
soy bean and the seventh to sanfoin.
Inoculation is beneficial and even
necessary where fields are not known
to have grown legumes of the same
grouping as that which is being
planted, and on strongly acid soils
regardless of previous crop growth.
