STATE GAR. ENCAMPMENT 7

last week, by John Patrick, f. A.
Wade aud James Holman for the local
Post and by Mrs. NJ NJ. Spencer for
the Womans Relief Corps Practically
no opposition was experienced at all
in securing the state encampment for
next year. There is usually a biz
contest among the towns for this
honor but some time ago the Grants
Pass Post sent circular letter to
every Post in the state setting forth
the advantages Of this city as a place
FOR holding the next encsmpment,
and the further fact that Grants Pass
and Southern Oregon had never before
had this favor. The result of this
was that so many delegates came to
the encampment pledged to Grants
Pass that the other towns had no
show and made no effort to secure the
Prize.
The enrolment at the encampment
reached $40 and the assurance was
given that a larger attendance would
be had next year, as so many of the

selection being given without halt
or the aid of prompting.

GRAIN CROP GOOD IN
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
Big Yield But We Will Have to
Import Prain-Thrts shinB
Machinery Plentiful.

Lincoln Savage, while filling the
position Of uperintendent of schools
for Josephine county in "a manner that
has given him the credit of being
one Of the best superir tendents this
county ever had, has time to attend
to a number of enterprises in which
he is successfully engaged. One OF
these is operating threshing ma.
chine. This machine is steam
thresher of 12 II. p. and he has
operated it in Jackson county foI
the past nine years with headquarters
at Central Point, which is the big
grain district Of that county During
this nine years the machine has been
under the charge Of ]. NJ. Hurley,
one Of the best thresheTs in Jackson
county.
Supt. Savage returned last Monday
from brief trip to Central Point to
consult with Mr.. Hurley. He states
that both the acreage and the yield OF
wheat and oats in Jackson county
will be larger than for several years
past. The grain yield Of Josephine
| county Will also be larger than usual
but this is not a grain growing county
so that crop is little Of note in the
county's industries. While Jackson
raises considerable grain, yet its
crop will not nearly supply the home
demand, an ! as heretofore, Rogue River
Valley will have to import large
quantities Of botll flour and feed.
The reason for this small acreage to
grain is that the farmers Of Rog ne
River Valley find it more profitable
to raise fruit, hops, hay, melons and
stock.
To thresh the grain Of Rogue
River Valley, requires several ma
chimes in addition to that of Supt.
Savage's. Glass Bros and Horace
Pelton, of Sans Valley, each have "A
steam power machine, but Mr.. Pelton,
who is a large grain raiser, does little
threshing besides his own crop. Ii. L..
Clute, of Talent, has steam power
machine. On the Applegate in Jackson
county Offanbacher Bros. and X. Kubli
each have horsepower machines. Jose
phine county has two steam threshers,
that OF II. S, Woodcook, at Kerby and
of Savage Bros. on Louise creek, but
the latter machine has not been run for
the last two seasons owing to so little
grain being grown in that section of
the county. A horsepower machine is
owned on the Applegate by Charles
Burkholder and Ed Swinden. There
is no Likelihood Of new threshing
machine being brought to Southern
Oregon this year, or for some years
to come, as there is certain to be no
great increase in the area to grain
and the present machines are able to
handle much more than is now grown
here.
