Experimentation
Tobacco Growing
Proving Success
In the lobby of the Seward hotel
bangs a bnnch of cured tobacco
' leaves which hare been attracting
considerable attention the past
week, aot because they are tobacco
, loaves, but because they were grown
on a Blot of ground near Hubbard.
Ore., aays the Oregonian. There
an elderly nan of German extrac
' tlon baa developed a tobacco field
cm a small tract which those who
, tare seen It predict will le the
' genesis of a new Industry for the
Willamette valley. For several
years past Edward Becker has been
.. developing his small patch, until
' now he la credited with some re
markable plants. From the plants
cured laat year be has begun the
' manufacture of eigans. Vpon learn
ing of the remarkable work Becker
has been doing many persons have
scoffed at the Idea of raising good
tobacco In Oregon, according to V.
C. Culbertaon. proprietor of the Sew
ard hotel. Mr. Culbertaon found
after some investigation that Wis
consin ranks as one of tbe leading
tobacco-producing atatea. and. forti
fied with this Information, has been
preaching the gospel of a tobacco
' ," growing Industry for the Willamette
'.. valley. Dr. P. O. Riley, editor of
' tbe Hubbard Enterprise, who was
' at. the hotel yesterday afternoon.
.' says that be baa visited Becker's
. : field and found the plants standing
' already aiz to seven feet in height.
"Mr. Riley reported that 17 car
t loads . of EverygTeen blackberries
tad been shipped the pat week to
, eastern points from Hubbard.
Dairy Cattle of
Klamath County
Far Above Par
A new proof of the agricultural
eupremacy of Klamath county was
set up yesterday when records on
the completed tests for tubercu
losis among dairy cattle of the
' county, showed only 15 diseased
cows out of 32S tested, or less
than one-half of one per cent.
Tbe final results of several weeks'
work on the part of W. Wary Law.
rence, assistant agricultural agent,
and Pr. E. H. Thompson of the V.
. 6. Bureau of Agriculture: was an
nounced yes;erday. Following a day
of rlean-up work in the lower end
of the county, this season's tests
. will be completed tonight, and Dr.
. Thompson will then leave for Ijikc-
, view to continue ills testing activi
ties. !(JeueralIy speaking, the region
showing most re-actors is in th vl-
' cinlty of Klamath Falls," Dr.
Thompson stated, "but tbfs 1s to be
' expected as the territory immedi
ately surrounding cities Is always
v worse than the rural district."
-'This is due to tbe fact that tbe
larger dairies, which have a larger
yearly turn-over of cows, are near
the cities, be explained.
"But the record here is exception
ally good," Thompson declared, stat
ing that Klamath county Is cleaner
- than Lane county, which has long
been considered outstanding among
rountiea of the stale in point of
' tubercular clarity.
Both Thompson and Lawrence are
agreed that this la the proper time
for this county to become accred-
' ited under state regulations. Such
action would greatly benefit the hog
raisers, as well as dairymen, Thomp-
eon pointed out, as hogs shipped
from an accredited county bring ten
cents more per hundredweight when
shipped In carload lots, than" do
those from counties not accredited
for tuberculosis. This results from
the fact that a great deal of milk
1a fed to hogs, and If the cow are
diseased, hogs contract tbe tuber
culosis very readily.
Three counties in this state are
accredited at present Tillamook.

America Aids in
Built on the dust of centuries of decadence, the new Persia is
rising as an Occidental rather than an Oriental nation. And Amer
ica is largely responsible. Rcaa Khan, Shah of reawakened Persia
(left, above), is a firm believer in American methods, particularly
as applied to national finance. Persia therefore is financed on the
American plan. Too, its internal economy, military and otherwise;
is conducted with the I'niled States as the model. As his Adminis
trator General of Finance he has Or. Arthur C. Millip-sugh (right,
