BACK-TO-PRIMITIVE USED
IN HARVESTING NEW GRASS.
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.

CORVALLIS—Students at Oregon
State college cut their social costs
more than in half last year without
sacrificing anything essential in in
teresting and wholesome social life,
according to the annual report on
such costs made by Dr. U. 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.

PAIGN OPENS IN NORTHWEST.
Spokane. Wn.-—Dr. M. L. Wilson,
federal wheat administrator, was in
Spokane Friday and Saturday of last
week for conferences with the ex
tension agents as the first step in
an extensive organization campaign
for the working out of the new agri
culture recovery act and wheat pro
cessing tax.
At these meetings the amounts
unofficially estimated as the possi
ble compensation benefits payable
to wheat farmers in the four north
west states in connection with acre
age retirement under the adjust
ment act were as follows:
97,900,000
Washington ..........
..... 8,500,000
Montana
.....
..... 5.000,000
Idaho .....................
...... 3,900,000
Oregon
»25,300,000
Total ...............
"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.
