j. j. Crumley is the most post
ed man in the United States. He
ought to be, for during four years
he has done little but examine
posts. He has petted and patted
and tested and tabulated exactly
30,160 fence posts. That wins
him the title of champion fence
poster.
Mr.. Crumley is assistant in for
estry at the Ohio station. He sight
ed the serious aspect of the fence
post question, while other people
were still killing off their promis-
ing saplings for posts without
thought of the morrow, just as
they had done for generations. He
saw that fence post material wasn't
inexhaustible. He Investigated
posts from Ohio to Texas and back
and sections.
The result is the first practical

table of vital statistics relative
to fence posts.
Perhaps the most startling and
unexpected fact brought out by
this investigation is that estab-
fishing the status of catalpa as a
post timber. 1t has come to be
generally believed that catalpa
ranks as a prince of post timbers.
The federal department of agricul-
ture has published reports ranking
the catalpa very high.
But the tale of the 30,160 posts
puts catalpa just above chestnut,
with white cedar, mulberry, red
cedar, locust and Usage orange all
ranking higher, in ascending scale
as named.

BECAUSE A FEW SHREWD POL
ITICIANS WORKING TOGETHER
CONTROLLED ITS LEGISLA-
TURE.
The majority of house and SEN
ate wanted to be economical and
honest, but they had no chance
because a few leaders controlled
the chief committees; because per-
sonal desire to shove a pet bill
through made good men trade
their votes to the gang" and be-
cause personal and party prejudice
|swayed the majority when cleverly
used by smooth orators.
A majority of the senators were
elected on a platform that bound
them a complete allegiance to the
Oregon system. Yet the senate
went on record as damning the
Oregon system.
The senators would not boost
another's game If they had to
break every campaign pledge.
Pretty? OF course, but it's
politics.
Oregon now knows that it is
useless to expect results from its
present legislative system. Sc
Oregon is going to change the
system.
Just how Oregon is going to re.
model its legislature Is not known
yet, but a new system is sure to be
worked out and voted on by the
people at the next general election.
