A "back to the primitive” move ment in seed harvesting methods appeared to have been inaugurated at the Oregon Experiment station at Corvallis the first week in July when farmers from five counties were seen carefully stripping by hand the seed from the heads of grass on several acres. The explanation is that this grass is Meadow Foxtail, a new and val uable sort developed at the experi ment station that has been in creased from year to year till now It is ready for more general distri bution to growers. No machine has been made, howeverr. which will harvest the seed of this grass. Harry Schoth. federal agronomist at the station, made county agents the proposition that it they cared to bring in some farmers and strip the seed, he would assign certain parts of some six acres of the grass then ripning, and they could have all they could strip. His offer was accepted by farmers from Coos. Clackamas, Washington, .Yamhill and Benton counties, and the pri- miti ve methods of harvesting fol- lowed. The grass has been grown expert- mentally . for 15 years and is now known to be one of the most valua ble wet-land grasses yet developed. The name "foxtail” is a misnomer, as the heads are really much like timothy. The grass stands the low est temperatures here and can be under water for months at a time and still come out all right. Along the coast last year it was still grow ing when other grasses were killed by the cold. It is the one grass that appears to do well on the heavy adobe land.

G. Du bach, dean of men. Members of the 57 fraternities, sororities and other living groups spent only a total of »5612.21 com- pared with »13,251.61 the year pre- vious for social events given by their organizations. The average cost per member was only »3.18 for the year compared with »5.58 for the year previous and $7.15 two years ago. Dr. Dubach reports that students used their ingenuity and initiative in giving excellent parties at low cost. His office encouraged holding many events so as to provide recrea tion for all on the campus rather than depending on more expensive commercial amusements. There may be no relationship, but the fact is that the students made this low-cost social record the same year that their scholastic average mounted to a new high point.

"The success of this plan by which ft Is hoped to relieve the di sease of wheat, which has brought disorder among the nations, depends upon the farmer coming in, "Dr. Wilson said, "if he does not sub scribe to the government's crop re duction contract, which contracts will be available next month, he gets no benefits. "The history of wheat coopera- tlves has been in large part that growers who have held out from such organizations have shared in the benefits earned by the co-ops, [ but this will not be the case under | the government agricultural adjust- ment act.” In addition to his conferences I with extension agents. Dr. Wilson addressed a large gathering of far- mers and business men at a special luncheon meeting of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce called for this purpose by President Fred K. Jones.
