This car has been driven around the

EN-PRESIDENTS IN POLITICS.
Chief Magistrates Who Have Mixed
Up in Party Contests After
Retirement

The spectacle of a former occupant
of the presidential chair knee-deep in
politics recently excited the interest
OF the entire nation-and, in some
quarters, no small amount of criti-
cism.
Such a spectacle, it must be admit
ed, is for the present generation a
novelty. From the collapse of the
Grant third-term boom, thirty years
ago. to Mr.. Roosevers remittance in
to the political arena during the past
autumn, no ex-president has been
known to identify himself in any ac-
tive manner with the political contests
of state or nation. OF the six presi-
dents between Grant and Roosevelt,
two-Garfield and McKinley-died in
office; the retirement of two others
Arthur and Hays-at the expiration
of their terms was absolute and al
though both Harrison and Cleveland,
after quitting the White House, par
ticipated occasionally in public affairs,
and retained a keen interest in the
political doings of their times, each
manifestly regarded himself as ire
vocably withdrawn from the theatre
of active party combat.
Fifty or seventy-five years ago,
however, the situation was far other
wise. OF the twenty men in all who,
from Washington to Roosevelt, have
survived their tenure of the chief
magistracy. not fewer than half con-
tinued to exercise, out of office, some
measure of the public influence which
they exercised in it. In at least six
or seven instances, this influence was
profoundly felt within the domain of
party politics.-Munsey's Magazine. q,

DRY FARMING IN OREGON


to in eastern Oregon are the Canada
field peas and alfalfa, grown largely
for seed production. We believe that
these are the crops that may be sue
cessfully and profltably introduced
into a rotation with the grain on the
dry farm to offset the effect of con-
tinuous wheat farming and its asso-
ciated bad results, We realize, how
ever, that to grow field peas and al
falfa and such forage crops as kafir
corn and milo farming must be done
more intensvely and to do it inten-
sively the size of the farm in this re-
gon must be reduced. We are suf-
fering, as many other places are to-
day, with the large size Of the farms
all over this district. We find 1t is
impossible to grow substitutes for
sumner following, or to grow such
crops as require row cultivation,
where a man has from 1000 to 1000
acres of land. Almost SO per cent of
the farms of eastern Oregon are one
section in siZe-or larger-more than
$40 acres. Many are of 1000 and
some even of 5000 acres. Such a man
Of course cannot understand or cam
not adopt such a method of farming
as will make his farm permanent. We
are looking forard to the time when
such better methods of tillage and
cropping will be used as will make 1t
clear to the farmers of this region
that half section or perhaps a some-
what larger farm can successfully
support family and at the same time
maintain fertility.
Livestock.
The greatest need of eastern Ore
gon is a closer organization among
the farmers, to bring about a wider
dissemination OF knowledge concern
ing the successful methods and at the
same time promote livestock interests
on the small farm, particularly. We
hope in the near future to form a state
Dry Farming association in oregon,
which will look to this organization as
a parent, and which will lead to
more permanent agriculture.
A Delegate-Do they burn the stub
BILE off the ground in Oregon?
Prof Scudder-To a certain extent,
but not as much as formerly.
A Delegate-How do the mills in
your state consider Turkey Red as a
milling wheat as compared to Blue
stem Do they discriminate the same
as they do in other winter varieties
as against the spring variety of
wheat?
Prof. Scudder-Yes, they discrimi-
nate slightly against the Turkey Red.
/ do not believe it is fair.
The Chairman-In our colleges we
are making chemical and baking tests
of ali varieties, as we'll as tests of
wheat in various conditions as for in
stance, wheat that is slightly damag-
ed in the sack or in the shock or bin.
We are trying the different wheats,
the Durum wheat, Turkey Red wheat,
and what is called Velvet Chaff
wheat. l am rather surprised, as
these tests are made, that they run
as close together as they do. Now,
the difference between Durum wheat
and Bluestem is mostly the differ
ence required in grinding the harder
wheat. They make the difference IS
to 20 cents, and 1t should not be over
9 cents. The difference is very slight
between Turkey Red and Velvet Chaff.
Turkey Red is considered practically
as good as Bluestem.-Paper read at
dry farming congress.
