Claude Riddle at Home.

Claude A. Riddle, who, it was
reported, had mysteriously disap-
peared from Vancouver, WASH,
April I, passed through Roseburg
ON this mornings overland train
enroute TO Riddle and is now
there at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Riddle.
C.aude's wife and child are also
at the family home, having been
brought there yesterday from
Vancouver by Claude's brother,
Ernest Riddle. Claude was To-
Gated at Troutdale, the fourth
station out of Portland on the o.
R. N. line, in Multnomah couaty,
by means of a.letter which he
wrote to his wife from that place.
The letter. was directed to Van
couver, then forwarded to Rose
burg and finally to Riddle, reach
ing the last named place stimuli
taneously with Mrs. Riddles ar
rival. A telegram. was imme-
diately directed to Claude at
Troutdale, urging the necessity
for his presence at home, because
of the serious illness of his
mother, who is now reported as
being very low. We are as yet
unable to learn the reason for
Claude's action in absenting
himself from Vancouver in such
a strange manner.-Review.

Receipts and Expenditures

Manager Chas. Johnson Oh the
O A c Athletic Union has filed
his financial report with the audit
ing committee who have eIdors-
ed it as correct. A study of the
report show that Professor John
son has been a careful manager,
and that the business men of Cor
wallis have been liberal in their
support of college athletics.
Their subscriptions to the ath.
letic fund for the past season
amount to $aae. SO. Receipts
from admission to games yielded
q revenue of S443, and sn addi.
tional $3.50 fof grand stand.
The faulty contributed s94, and
the alumni $44.5o. Small bal.
ances brought forward, make the
total receipts ST, ,255. 90.
The expenditures amounted to
81, 1oo.S7, leaving a balance in
the treasury of $65.o3. The fol-
lowing amounts went to visiting
teams as their share of gate re-
ceipts: Willamette football team,
$44; y. of O. football team,
$Io1.72; McMinnville football
team, $40; P. U. football team,

Oregon's Fruit Crop.

E. L. Smith, chairman of the
State Board of Horticulture, in
the 9TH biennial report of that
board, gives the total value of
the fruit crop of Oregon in 1901
at $2, $4,000. The crop of 1901
was the most valuable one pro-
duced in Oregon. In 1902 the
total value of the fruit crop in
this state was 81, OH, 500. not
counting small orchards or fruit
canned or consumed in Oregon.
The total acreage of commercial
orchards in Oregon is given on
page 1s7 of the biennial report
at So, 900 acres of which $4,000
are in pruues, and 1o, 500 acres
in apples, 400 acres in mixed
orchards and the remainder in
pears, cherries and peaches.
After supplying the non-fruit
producing population at home,
Oregon fruit is shipped in large
quantities to the inter mountain
cities and towns iii the Rocky
mountain states and to the mid
die west and eastern cities. The
keen eye of the horticulturist
scans the world beyond the out
lines of the map OF the United
States and sends the product of
his orchard to Europe and Asia
where the superior quality aud
attractive appearance Of his Of
fe1ing attracts eager purchasers
at reuumerative prices.

besides the ofal. I have gone
into detail on this to show what

Il Is q mistake TO grow hogs too

In conclusion I will say that
farmers of Western Oregon
should try the clover and rape
for summer feeding and grow
peas and barley for fattening
hogs. At present, we have
market for many more than are
produced. If we increase the
production of hogs it will not be
be long before we have first

to compete with the East in their
own domain by furnishing them
a better article than corn fed

Nest Profitable Stock.

In letter to Mr.. w. E. Co.
man, of the s. P. R. R. company,
President Schulmerick, of the
the Oregon State Dairymen's
Association gives the following
valuable information on the feed
ing and raising Of hogs.
''Hogs have proved to be the
most profitable stock I have on
the farm at present prices of pork
and bacon. I have the hogs that
are slaughtered in the fall and
winter farrowed in March or
April. They are pastured in
April, May, June and July on
alsike clover. I find alsike pre-
ferahle to red clover as it is eaten
with more relish by hogs and
cattle. The end of May or first
of June a field is sown to rape.
The land should be finely pulver-
lied and 3 pounds of seed sown
broadcast per acre. The seed
should be narrowed in with a peg
tooth harrow and the land rolled
or clod-mashed. The rape can
be pastured all fall and winter,
and the shoats will be in fine con-
dition to fatten.
Last summer | pastured 42
shoats on two acres of rape tor
two months. The shoats kept
in growing condition all the
while. This plainly shows the
value of rape for hog pasture.
1 would recommend alske clover
for spring pasture in the William
cite valley and alfalfa wherever
it can be grown. Alfalfa hay
has about the same feeding value
as wheat bran and makes an ex-
cellent winter ration tor stock
hogs, when run through feed
cutter, with a little skim milk
added.
Peas and barley mixed make
the best ration for fattening hog:
that I have used. Five pecks o.
each should be sowed per acre,
They ripen together and can bs
harvested with a binder, and .yiele
from 40 to SO bushels per acre.
The year 1921 kept accoun
with II hogs. When put up tt
fatten they averaged live weigh'
rs pounds each. They consum-
ed an average each of 45o pound:
rolled barley, and 900 pounds
skinned milk in 90 days. Wher
slaughtered their average weigh

Wilfu1 Ignorance.

nifty, to state that nothing has
been done by the businessmen
Of Corvallis to assist in securing
a twice-a-day passenger train SER
vice over the S. P. railroad to
this city.
The proposition was intro
duced through the columns of
the GAZETTE of February 8,
1909, by a letter signed "Busi.
ness MAN, In au editorial in
the GAzETTE of February 10th,
we showed the advantage of such
service and urged the Citizens
League to assist in securing it.
The following week the indie
pendence Improvement League
took notice of the GAZETTE S ar
tlcles, and the secretary OF that
organization was ordered to con-
fer with towns along the line of
the proposed improvement, and
committees were appointed to
circulate petitions.
In our issues of the 18TH and
2oth Of February we informed
our readers of the progress that
had been made, and what steps
had been contemplated to secure
the desired service.
By this fine every business
man in Corvallis and citizens
generally were discussing the
project and the way to secure its
adoption. Mr.. S. N. wilkins
took an especial interest. He
circulated a petition to Manager
Koehler asking for the improve
ment, and it was signed'by every
business man in Corvallis. This
petition was published in the GA
zETTE of March 9th, and we said
in comment, that if the new
schedule was not granted it
would not be because urgent re-
quests had not been made by lead
ing business men of all the cities
affected.
Committees from Indepen-
dence, McMinnville, Corvallis
and other cities called upon Man
ager Koeh1er and urged upon
him to install the new schedule.
He promised to give the matter
earnest consideration, and those
interested are now waiting de-
velopments.
Sheer stupidity is the only ex-
cuse that can be offered for the
statement that "Corvallis has
done nothing yet. No petitions
have been circulated" !"
