Glover furnishes one good crop OF
hay each year, builds up the soil by
its fibrous roots, gives excellent pas
ture to sheep and produces a valuable
seed crop in September. Worn out
land in various places has been i'm
proved and built up to its normal rich
ness.
As a result of experience recently
conducted to find which was the most
profitable in the horticultural. branch
it was found prunes cannot be ex-
celled in this county. Land good for
no other crop in the hills is made to
bear heavy crops Of this fruit. The
fruit crop, not including prues,
amounted to over 1000 tons this seas
on.
A few acres of loganberries are all
that can well be cared for by one
grower and are paying good returns.
Ioganbeny raising is increasing as its
advantages are learned. AT the pres
enut time large farms are run by one
man and it is a well-known fact that
in some eases as many as ten men with
families can each make as large prof
its as the one man now the owner.
The industries, however, are increas-
ing gradually, but the demand for
more people to develop the agricul-
tural and horticultural lines is ur-
gent.

A newspaper man, not over lO0
miles from Dallas hearing that a
certain citizen of his town, was go
ing to get married, visited his place
of business and not being personally
acquainted with the gentleman, ap-
preached the occupant of the office,
thinking he was one of the clerks,
engaged in conversation with him.
He told the supposed clerk that he
understood Mr.. was going to get
married soon and if he could furnish
him with a photograph of the would
be groom and his fair lady he would
have cut made and have some new

POLK CO. GOOD RECORD
Buena Vista Correspondent Tells
Some of Its Agricultural Interests.

Dairying, logging, horticulture
grain and clover farming, hopgrowinc
and livestock raising are the lead
ing industries in which Polk County
has enjoyed season of prosperity
Owing to increased profits ON the
farms in this, the southern section OF
the county, the farmers and dairymen
have made more purchases than usual
this Fall. Machinery has been i'm
proved and better stock has taken
the place of common breeds. AT pres
ent a good many dairymen are receiv-
ing monthly cream checks of Sl5O,
while it is now common throughout
the county for dairymen to draw
checks amounting to at least 500
each month.
Kale, vetch hay, corn and pump
kins were raised this season and, aside
from this feed, not a great deal of
expense is incurred. Ever since the
first creamery was put up in Polk
County the dairy industry has grown.
Two new ereameries are to be built
soon for districts just taking up the
industry. Polk County is the home
of the famous Jersey Island cows
and has stock which wins wherever
exhibited.
Not only has the dairying proven
to be profitable in this district, but
grain farming has been engaged in for
years here and found remunerahve,
Some record yields were obtained here
this year.

planning MILL
CHANGES HANDS
F. J. COAD RETIRES AFTER
OVER THIRTY YEARS OF AC-
TIVE BUSINESS
F. J. Chapman Takes Over the Dallas
Planning Mills and Will Continue
the Business.

This week F. C. Coad retires from
business after completing longer
period of continuous business activity
in one line than any other resident of
Dallas, and there are but few men
anywhere that can show any bette,
record than Mr.. Coad.
In 1888, F. j. Coad in company
with d. J. Riley formed partnership
and established The Dallas Planning
Mills, the machinery was meagre and
six horse water power was used, be-
ing quite ample for their wants.
In 1895 they purchased a one-half
interest in the Waymire Water Power
Company, built large buildings and
added more machinery to keep in pace
with the increase of business.
In 1907 the partnership was dis
solved by Mr.. Coad purchasing his
partners interest and thereby becom-
ing the full owner.
SDuring the same year he sold his
interest in the water power and build
ings, moving his machinery to new
and larger buildings, which he had
constructed just across the road, put
ting in steam power of 35 horse ca
pacity, adding at the same time much
new machinery.
About two years ago he took out
his steam fixtures, replacing them
with electric motors of the latest pat
tern with about fifty horse power, and
more up-to-date machinery, making
this plant one of the best in the Val
ley for its size, and they are ready
to compete with any as to grade of
work and prompt service.
The Dallas Planning Mill is doing
approximately $4,000 worth of bust
ness per annum, and has pay roll of
about $1,000, making it one of the
hest business properties of Dallas.
F. J. Chapman of Salem, who Us
well and favorably known by all old
residents of Dallas, as he has lived
many years in this city, two and one
half years of that time being with
the Dallas Planning Mills, this week
takes over the plant and manage
ment.
Mr.. Chapman informs us that all
the old employees in the mill will be
retained. and that the management
and policy of Mr.. Coad in business
will be adhered to and continued.
A new blower system costing be-
tween five and six hundred dollars
is now being added to the plant.
Mr.. Coad has the best wishes of
many friends who unite in wishing
him many more years of life in which
TO enjoy the fruits of a well spent
business life.
We hope that Mr.. Chapman will
be able to make more friends. more
money, and that he will be able by the
increase in business TO make the mill
grow as much in the future as il has
in the past. Dallas is growing. SO
why not have every business grow
right along with it.

$117,592 FEES
BY SPORTSMEN
NONRESIDENT FEES INCREASE
Finley's Report Shows Hunting Lii
censes in 1918 Melted $48,O20.

Hunters and anglers of the State OF
Oregon paids $117 ,592 for the privi-
lege of getting game from the woods
and fish from the streams of Oregon
in 1913, according to the figures is
sued yesterday by William L. Finley
State Game Warden. -
OF this sum, $48,02O was for hunt
ing licenses alone, $44,748 for ang-
ling licenses and $24,S24 for the com
bination licenses at $2 each,
In addition hunters from outside
the state paid $500 as nonresident
fees. Another big item was $6775
for fines imposed by the various
courts for violations of the game laws.
Of the last item, half in each case
wentto the general fund of the county
and the other half was turned over to
the Fish and Game Commission.
This, in a measure, explains why
hunters say that 1913 was the poorest
hunting season they ever had, for
there were almost 25 per cent more
hunters in the field in 1913 than in
any previous season.
Non-Residents Set Record.
The number of non-residents who
enjoyed fishing and hunting privileges
of Oregon in the year is new mark
and means that Oregon is coming to
the front as tourist resort, for the
majority of the persons took the non
resident licenses out in the Summer
which is taken to indicate that they
were transients.
Am additional item on the credit
side was 1926 brought in by trap
pers' and taxidermists licenses
Trapping is something which the aver
age person considers thing of the
past in Oregon, but the report of the
game warden shows the trapper still
to be a part of the life of the state
Multnomah County was the largest
individual purchaser of licenses
While the state showed more hunting
than fishing tags, the county showed
8191 hunters rights and 11,152 tags
issued to anglers, and in addition. II
combination hunting and fishing
bringing in a total of $21.193.
Multnomah s illegal hunters and
fishermen paid 1880.
8,807, 900 Fish Liberated.
In 1913 the Fish and Game Com.
mission liberated S,SO7,OO0 game ISL
in different parts of the state. This
number probably will be increased
in 1914, as the department plans
call for a much greater supply.
The woods and fields also were sup
piled with $500 game birds, of which
the majority were pheasant, botl
China and Reeves, and the rest
about 800 pairs of Hungarian part
ridges.
Many inquiries have been made al
the office of the Game Warden ne
garding the new licenses. These il
all cases will be turned over to the
County Clerk. The latter will have
the privilege of placing them in the
gun stores. where they may be pro
cured at the regular rates. In tho
future if the license is lost, it will
not be restored unless the loser ha.
the number in mind, so that it may
be traced up and eonfseated.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years YounaerI Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this Cid. famous recipe, be-
aus no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
one, small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
