TABLE ROCK, Dec. 7. Many tax
payers are wondering if the county
court have any. limit other than tho
sky to the expenses of the prohibition
enforcement officer. It is said, that
one member, of the court several
months ago stated that they were

month.
Many comments- are heard regard

expense onto the taxpayers.

ing tho afternoon, and each after be
ing served with dainty refreshments
before being taken to their homes
expressed themselves as having
.days.
Your correspondent was a recent
visitor at tho D. W. Boobo poultry
farm at Agate and was shown through
tho new poultry houso Just construct
ed by Mr. Beebe to house somo of his
choice Whito Leghorns. The house is
j is x'30 feet with a basement running
I the full length for storage purposes
land a pluco to house twelve large in-
cubatorS used to supply tho baby
chick trade, which tho proprietor tells
us has been so brisk in tho past that
ho has not been ablo tosupply tho
demand.
Thero are somo 800 hons on the
ranch and several houses Including
the one just constructed which Ivouses
400 hens and is modern in every de
tuil, being equipped with self feeders,
fountains, bath, parent roosts, ventila
tors and curtains that permit one to
keep the temperature even and to
uclmit sunlight when needed.
Mr. Beebe Is justly proud of his
hens which he says are bringing him
$15 a day at the present time, which
leaves him. about $12 after the feed
bill Is deducted.
The success of Mr. Beebe in the
poultry business is remarkable con
siderlng that he took it up only a few
years ago on account of impaired
health making it impossible for him
to continue tne neavier larm wore.
AT ASHLAND FAIR
ASHLAND, Dec. 7. Tho Winter
Fair la now running full blast and tho
attendance is over normal. 'Although
tho weather has been very bad, which
has hindered many from coming, who
would otherwise bo able to attend, tho
attendance has been very good. It
Is hoped, however, that the weather
will tlear for the last two days of
tlio fair. The exhibits are above nor
mal, tho poultry one being one of the
finest and largest which has Deon
given in Oregon. There is a great
number of entries for this department
and chickens of overy variety, size
and color are to be found. The Ana
conas have an exceptionally fine
showing and thero are many Barred
Rocks and Bantams. The rabbit de
partment is very fine as is also the
turkav. geese and dusk departments.
Son very clever arrangements and
booths have been carried out by the
Boys" and Girls' clubs, the Homomak
Ing clubs especially.' The canning
clubs and tho dlfforcnt sewing, poul
try raising clubs all havo their ex
hibits, which arc indeed remarkable
and would cause envy to hiany grown
people. A very flno automobilo dls-
nlav is noticeablo when you linn.
enter. Hero a -largo number ot air
ferent kinds of auto is seen.
The art department Is probably tho
best ono outside of the poultry de
partment. This feature is on the
stage of the Chautauqua building
where tho different art displays are
away from the dust and dirt made by
some of the other displays, ueauti
ful luncheon sets, paintings, Bhccts
and pillow cases, towels and almost
everything that can bo imagined in
that line mav be soon. Tho handwork
on every piece Is excellent, many of
them being so beautitul mat n is
f limit to award a prize on any one
thing. The feature of tho twenty-five
cont irlfts has nroved to bo vory sue
cessful. as many displays of Hlmpio,
vet effective Christmas gifts can be
gotten from this exhibit. Very pretty
sboo-trees, painted ' cundles, place
cards and small pieces of handwork
are to be found among these many
artistic things. The rratt nrt exhibit
which has been sent-from this school
to Ashland for display, in tho winter
fnlr Is one of tho most colorful and
exceptional exhibits which has ever
been hero. This Includes all Kinds 01
water colors, pastels and pen and Ink
sketches. Tho schools have taken an
actlvo part In making this fair a suc
cess, extensive exhibits from tho sow
ing classes and other classes being
displayed. The sewing classes espec
ially ffiivo a vory extonslve display,
which shows much preparation and
care in the making of It. The dif
ferent dresses exhibited by these
classes are very beautiful and it is
exceedingly hard to choose from them
one dress which should receive the
first prize. As a whole the Winter
Fair Is wonderfully successful this
year and despite the rainy weather,
everything is considered excellent, In
cluding the attendance.

NEW WHEAT THAT WILL YIELD
69 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE
By F. C. Reltner, Kxpcii incut Station,
Talent, Oregon.
Ever since the experiment stations
wero established there has been a
thorough search (or new and better
varieties of ; wheat. Varieties have
been obtained from dealers In practi
cally every country. The tftate Ex
periment Station at Corvallis and the
big Grain Experiment Station at
Mora, Oregon, have been leaders In
this work. In addition to this, explor
ers and investigators', have been sent
to every wheat growing country in
search ofl superior varieties and
strains. As a result, hundreds of new
varieties have been Introduced. Na
turally, most of these have proved of
no special value. However, a few
have proved of very groat value. Some
of the more recent Introductions ap
pear to be of special valuo to tho
Pacific coast.
Federation Wheat
One of tho most promising of these
new Introductions is a variety known
as Federation. This was introduced
from Australia thirteen years ago.
This variety has been brought to the
front by the Mora Experiment Sta
tion, where It has proved the best
among the hundreds of varieties test
ed. . The Southern Oregon Experiment
Station obtained some of this wheat
last year from tho Moro station. This
was planted by Mr. Earl Briscoe on
the- Patterson rnnch near tho Experi
ment. Station. It was grown on good
Pear creek bottom land and yielded
69 bushels per acre. This is a beard
less, whito, spring wheat with very
stiff straw ,of medium, length. - One
of its valuable characteristics is its
