orcson,s First wheat Crop.

In his "Reminiscences of Oregon"
Hon. B. +. Nichols tells in the Laid
law Chronicle of the first wheat raised
in Oregon. May u, 1916, near where
Dallas. Polk County, now stands, Gen.
Gillian seeded ten acres Of bottom land
to California spring red wheat. from
which he threshed and cleaned up 100
bushels of res wheat. The crop next
year was volunteer and yielded over
twenty-five bushels per acre of Califor-
MIA fall or white winter wheat. The
next crop, 1913, also yielded thirty-two
bushels per acre The white wheat
that was mixed with the sowing in the
first place did not mature, but spread
out over the ground, allowing the
spring wheat to be harvested the first
year and leaving the other to grow and
mature for 1S47. The third crop was
the largest of all, and all from one
seeding. A truly wonderful thing TO
those who had come from the cold,
bleak prairies of Northwestern Mime
sofa and Illinois, where the ground is
covered with snow from twelve to if
teen inches deep four TO six months of
the year, and where the mercury drops
to Sc degrees below zero quite often
during the winter.

the ink of medieval manuscripts is as

Take dyes. The beautiful blues and

any of our modern fabrics.

Latch Key Suffrage.

Over in England the possession OF

the electoral rights of man claiming
to be a householder. With us the
latchkey has grown so universal az TO

woman's either, for that matter. Not
so very long ago the American wom-
ans right to the latchkey was subject

Male Ara,n.t Horse for Army.


The humble American mule is the SUI

ii comes to endurance and speed on
long marches, according to K. f. Bur
lock, of Dundee, Mich, who has writ
ten to Quartermaster General Hum

to enter a mule of his own raising in
the proposed long-distance test from
Portland, Ore, to New York, for the
purpose of determining the best mount
for the army. The Michigan man men,
tons the Arab stallion because one of
that breed was offered for the test,
and IL was reported that the offer had
been accepted. The champion of the
American mule says in his letter to
Gen. Humphrey:

believe the Michigan champion of the
mule is right, but, nevertheless, he
feels constrained to decline the offer

English Row, I'm Had WAY

Ninety per cent of our school boys
are being educated to present a flaw
less smootEness OF mental surface;
very soon they will show an equally
monotonous sameness of physical build.
Now, what is the outcome OF all this
undue constraint on a lads character?
There is reason to suppose that its eff
feet is one of compression on the mind
as regards its result on the disposition.
ii is necessary to speak with caution.
1t is perhaps impossible accurately to
sum up the average characteristics of
the average product of our athletic
school system, but, broadly speaking,
such boy may be described as en-
incarnate hurricane; for his existence
is continuous banging about, he Is
naturally impatient with everything
out of keeping with his own robust be-
ing, is intolerant Of anything purely
literary or artistic, treats with con-
tempt (thanks to the precept and ex-
emple of his directors) all ''non-sports-
men," and, when he has reached sixth
form status, confines his literary
studies out of school hours to certain
gaudy weeklies and one or two "muscu-
lar" monthlies. He has q fluent COM
mand of language which Is not Eng
fish, is apt to be rough in manner,
and is by no means free from what
the moralists call viciousness.
On the other hand, he is not without
some good enthusiastically certain
bluff ightforwardness arising in
part from his steady obedience to the
sporting maxim Of flair play and in
part from his usual want of mental
depth; he shows in his quieter mo-
ments a patronizing consideration for
his weaker brethren, and now and then
there peep out traits of character which
tell us that, given a happier training,
he might not have made his life inces-
sanity rotate round center of muscle
unaffected by other and worthier cen
tiers.
In fact, there is every sign that
many of our boys are degenerating into
an unintelligent Westmin-
ster Review.
