ALSIKE CLOVER INCREASES IN KLAMATH BASIN Apparently growera have fur ther Increaaed their acreage of alslke clover for aeed this year. During the paat three years, thia crop haa proved very popular and acreage has doubled each year. Thla pace, however, can not be continued and while a decided Increase la noted in 1840 over 1839, perhaps the per centage will be around 38 to 40 per cent, or a total acreage In crease for the entire district of between 2000 and 2300 acres. Popularity of this crop is rapid ly making alaike clover one of the leading farm crops of the Klamath basin and has boosted the state of Oregon to the front rank aa number one alaike clover-producing state of the union. Practically all districts throughout the Klamath basin show a substantial increase in thla crop, ranging from IS to 30 per cent. 1 Alslke clover Is particularly adapted to rotation farming, practiced in the Klamath basin, which aide materially in increas ing its popularity.

WEATHER Correspondent Of Collapse of Tells Story French Army Editor's Note: Edward W. Beattle, United Press corres pondent accredited to the Brit ish expeditionary force, re turned today from France. Fol lowing are hla reasons for the French collapse. By EDWARD W. BEATTIE, Jr. United Press Correspondent LONDON, June 21 (UP) France capitulated Monday be cause constant German pound ing had turned the rear areas Into chaos. Nobody knew where the Ger man advance screen would turn up. Fifth column talk behind the lines added to the confu sion. Thousands of soldiers threw away their rifles and started home by any possible means. This statement is based large ly on my own visual experi ence and partly on that of other competent observers who, during the past three days, convinced themselves that the only remnant of coolhcadedness between the sea and Paris was to be found in the small aector held by the BEF. Question of Daya Whatever reasons led the French government to capitu late, It became apparent behind the allied northwestern front late last week that the end of French resistance waa only a question of days. Ncaring the front we began passing groups of French sol diers still carrying their rifles, ranging from new issues to long, old-timers. There were cavalcades of French army trucks, some obviously origin ally artillery haulers, passing toward the rear, filled half with soldiers and half with refugees. Nobody showed much interest in us. No Order At first we thought the troops were from nearby reserve bil lets but soon we began to rea lize there was no order what ever in their movements. Undoubtedly many French divisions - stuck to the finish. But these men, after six weeks of taking it on the chin, were going home. On Saturday I saw a French column three batteries of horse-drawn 75' moving southward along back roads under orders. Typical of French disorganiza tion was the fact that just after we had a disagreeable five min utes with a German patrol we met a French truck column loaded with food, moving In the direction from which we had just come." The com mander had turned the column around because, although the NORTHERN CALIF.: Fair to night.

Refugees Each tree-lined, dusty French road was dotted to the horizon with refugees. There must have been millions walking, wheeling baby carriages, riding bicycles, farm carts or jammed with their belongings into the most weird collection of "Jal lopies" I ever saw anywhere. On Saturday we ourselves ran Into a typical fifth column rumor designed to confuse and disorganize the frontal area and which might have been respons ible for some of the southward movement of troops we saw. A French non-commissioned officer lounging beside the road told us he heard there was a 48-hour armistice during which the front was to be static while negotiations were being con ducted. This was a half-truth, as later events proved, but there certainly was no armistice when we ran Into German skirmishes a few minutes later. One of six attractive candi dates from points throughout the Klamath basin will have the thrill of her young lifetime on Saturday night, just about 11 o'clock, when a white buckskin outfit will be slipped over her shoulders, and a white Stetson hat placed on her curls to let admirers know she is queen of Klamath Buckaroo days. At the queen's ball in the armory, where aeveral thous and persons are expected to watch the ceremony of choosing the ruler of the four-day show, dancing will start promptly at 9 o'clock and continue until 1 a. m. President O. D. Matthews will crown the ' queen, and master of ceremonies will' be Jack Franey. Will it be Queen Jean, Queen Eileen, Queen Virginia, Queen Nora, Queen Charlotte, or Queen Mary Margaret? In any event, the choice will be a happy one,, for directors of Klamath Buckaroo Days have brought together a group of at tractive girls, each one a beauti ful and accomplished horsewoman. Judges wttl not be made known until after the ball which la being arranged by Director J. E. Hosking. Score on per sonality, poise, charm,' and beauty, will be' added to the riding scores of last Sunday, and the girl with the highest number of points proclaimed queen. The public la invited to attend the ball and tickets may be pur chased at the armory door. Baldy Evana' orcheatra will play. Presentation of the allver mount ed, $300 Herman H. Helaer aad die, given to the winning con testant by Montgomery Ward company, will be made by R. R. Proebstel.
