Sound Management Of Oregon Lands Said of Importance Larce scale manufacturing for Oregon is not coming in the fore seeable future so this state must make the most of its land re ' sources under sound manage ment practices, according to F. L. Ballard, director of extension service at Oregon State college, j Ballard spoke at a luncheon I meeting Tuesday of the Med-! fond Rotary club at the Jackson hotel. 1 Only 25 per cent of Oregon's 62,000,000 acres are under pri vate ownership, the speaker said, and 7,000,000 acres of that area are in crops, approximate ly the area of Lake county. Of the state's $2,000,000,000 income, 25 per cent comes from the for est and a similar share from Oregon's 59,000 farms. Thus the state's "take" from natural re sources accounts for one-half of its income, he said. Following the first world war, as agricultural production was . revised with changing condi tions and with new markets for poultry opening in the east, em phasis was placed upon growing pears instead of apples for do mestic and foreign markets, and dairy products in California. Wise Planning Wise planning at that time al so created new agricultural in dustries in the form of food processing plants, food freezing facilities and development of seed growing. Ballard pointed out that again there is need for gearing Oregon's agriculture to present conditions, with 5,000, 000 people now living on the Pacific Coast. This state, with climate and soil that can pro- c WITH OUR GOOD PLUMBING WE COMBINE SHEET METAL , WDRKTHATS REALLY PIKJE oo a swat f 5 ts S 1 IV 2 ... iAaM HlOt: Nearly 150 members of the Sunday school of St. Mark's Episcopal church "rode the train" Sunday, as a prize for their work in an attendance contest in the school. Children who obtained the best re sults rode from Ashland to Medford; the second best group rode from Talent to Medford, and the third group from Poenix to Medford. The pic ture above was taken as they debarked after their ride at the Medford Southern Pacific de pot. Many of the youngsters had never ridden on a train before. On the steps of the train are Bob Dames (above) superintendent of the school, and Warren Elliott, head of the intermediate group. Other teachers and school leaders are scattered throughout the crowd. (Brainerd photo) Commuters Injured In Train Collision Gary, Ind. (U.R) Six persons were hospitalized Wednesday with injuries suffered when two crowded rush hour commuter trains collided. A total of 65 persons were in jured in the crash Tuesday night, but by morning all but six had been discharged. No deaths were reported and the six were in "fair" condition with cuts and bruises. duce everything in the crop line, has new populations to feed here and growing markets to the south, he pointed out. Conservation of water is a No. 1 problem facing Oregoni ans today, Ballard emphasized. Depleted fertility of soil, con version of vast sagebrush areas to agricultural uses, and utiliza tion of farm timber tracts were cited as top considerations in planning the state's future, he said, and the social values re flected in 59,000 Oregon farms should not be overlooked. Farm subsidies in principle were de fended because the cost of main taining land fertility for future generations logically necessitat ed public cooperation. The farmers of Oregon are consumers as well as producers, laborers as well as capitalists, Ballard told Rotarians. He was introduced by Ben Tucker, chairman of the Rotary club's rural urbal committee. On The Side by e. v.

Sue, Those who reside in the coun try or the wide open spaces of the Wgt do not, on the average, live longer than big city dwell ers. An active mind is a great aid to longevity. In a major munici pality much is available to stimu late the mind. The oldest man I ever knew personally was born in the Greenwich Village section of New York City and lived there all his life. That was John R. Voorhis, who died at the age of 102 in the house where he was born. Practically up to the last Mr. Voorhis enjoyed a daily high ball and smoked several cigars. He engaged in an exercise of his own origin to keep his liver in condition. To that he attributed his longevity. But I think more important was the fact that all his life he had an extremely act ive mind. Asides The first electric sign on Broadway was put there by a Brooklyn organization.

Do you know why there are so many Irish fa-iuies in Boston? When' the Irish were leaving their native land in great num bers to settle in the U.S.A., the fare from Ireland to Boston was six and a half dollars less than from Ireland to New York.

Chain eatery maestro from the Pacific coast. Once known in San Francisco as "The Waffle Man." Started with one small eating place specializ ing in waffles. That Mr. Naylor is now a millionaire there is no doubt but whether he is pos sessed of 3,000,000 or $6,000,000 I cannot say. Reminds me I know another millionaire who started in Dusmess in Indiana with a six stool lunch . counter featur ing hamburgers. This he built up to a countrywide chain. . . . Joe Benjamin.

Joe was one of Damon Runyon's close pals. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who was the originator of the nick name "Tin Pan Alley" for the section in New York where so many music publishers had their offices? Some alleged authori ties say it was Harry von Tilzer, others say an unknown news paperman." A. Believe it was a songwriter named Monroe A. Rosenfeld who first referred to the section you speak of as "Tin Pan Alley." The reference was made by him in a newspaper article. At that time Tin Pan Alley was on west Twc-ty-eighth street. Between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. That Weight xne claim a weight assign ment of 132 pounds or there abouts is injurious to a thorough bred's health and shortens the animal's life is ridiculous. Man O' War, Exterminator and Dis covery carried weight like that often. Didn't injure their health Reason trainers whimper end whine about a weight of 132 pounds is because there are some other good horses in the race carrying only 115 pounds. Dif ference in weight loses horse races, but carrying 132 pounds never broke down any sound horse. Ml TOIIIT TISSUE. eta tuefyetpuce Wednesday.
