Advertising and Selling
of Farm Products

Oregon Agriculture College, Cor
Wallis = Marketing farm products is
perhaps the biggest question before
the American farmers today, accord
ing to Dean ]. A. Bexell of the school
of commerce at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. As long as the middle
man can market the products better
than the farmer, he will be paid, and
paid well, for his services, but with a
better organization among farmers,
which is now growing rapidly, large
part of the proceeds will go into the
farmers pocket.
Dean Bexell showed that the farmer
is the largest salesman in the world,
selling about $4,000, 900, 900 of goods
a year. They are very inefficient in
marketing their crops, although they
are the most expert traders in the
world.
He suggested that the farmers CO.
operate to secure good, uniform prod
ucts in their districts, and then adver-
tise them persistently on the commun-
ity plan and thus create demand for
that particular kind Of produce. The
ad must be news" the name and
label must always mean high class
goods, reputation for quality and
service, the goods must be packed and
graded SO that they will arrive on the
market in the best possible condition
and have. good appearance.

Selling Oregon Made
Clay Wares AdUised

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-There are thirty manufacturers
of brick and other clay wares in Ore
gon at the present time, according to
Dean J. A. Bexell, of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College School of Commerce,
who advocates an organization Of the
manufacturers for the purpose of get
ing their 0regon-made wares more
prominently before the public and into
the markets by means of advertising
and cooperative effort. The combined
output of the industries is about $780,
900 annually, and the expenditures
average about $500 for each $50, 900
of output. A part Of this sum will be
expended in promoting a demand for
the clay goods, especially drainage
tiles.
In the clay industries as in most 9TH
ers the attention given to production
is disproportionate to that given to
creating and enlarging the demand.
Right quality Of prodcut that will
maintain a permanent demand together
with due advertising and publicity,
will. thinks Mr.. Bexell, bring success
in this business.

Hax-G -Growing Industry to
Be Aided BY State Board

Hansett, who has had experience in
flaxgrowing in Ireland, to give the
farmers certain instructions. He will
be paid only when actually at work or
during the flax season and his salary
probably will be $3.50 month.
The bill authorizing the state to en-
courage the growing of flax, carrying
an appropriation of $50, 900 and speci-
fies that the money may be used only
for giving employment to the convicts.
Governor Withycombe said he was
anxious that farms near the prison be
planted to flax, so the convicts could
work them and be returned to the in
stitution at night. 1t is planned that
they do all the work, even to the har-
vesting of the crop, but the growers
must deliver the straw at the prison.
Because of the fact that it was a
new industry Governor Withycombe
thought expert men should be employed
to assist in planting, cultivating and
retting and and he believed the board
should obtain such help as soon as pos
sible. He said he had been informed
the machinery and buildings necessary
would not be expensive. 1t has new
er been the intention of the board to
use all the appropriation in the flax in
dustry and if it does not furnish en-
ployment for all convicts other means
for doing so will be devised. The
board plans growing flax on several of
the state farms.

Salem-Defnite action was taken by
the State board of control in starting
the fax industry in Oregon in compli-
ance with an act passed at the recent
session Of the legislature by decision
to offer growers in this county SIS a
ton for straw delivered at the State
penitentiary.
This is from SO to $4 a ton more
than the market price in other states,
and was offered as an inducement to
farmers to grow flax.
Governor Withycombe said he was
confident that three tons could be
grown to the acre and he believed the
price offered would make it one Of the
states most profitable crops. The
board will furnish the seed to the
farmers for SO a bushel, the money to
be paid to the state when the straw is
delivered.
It was virtually decided to employ
an expert in the manufacture of flax to
install the retting machinery at the
prison and superintend the construc-
tion of the buildings necessary. Gov
ernor Withycombe said he believed
John G. Cady, of Albany, would be a
good man for the place. Mr.. Cady
recently came to Oregon from Mime
sofa, where he was engaged in the flax
business. 1t was decided to defer the
appointment until all the members of
the board could confer with him. 1t
was decided virtually to employ Emil

u. s. SUBMARINE F-4 IS
LOCATED 300 FEET DOWN

Honolulu, T. H.--United States sub
marine F-4, which failed to come to
the surface Thursday, still lay on the
ocean floor disabled late Friday, while
800 feet above her score Of vessels
combined in a strenuous effort to bring
her to the surface.
When the cables of the naval tug
Navajo first made fast to the heavy
mass which afterward proved to be
F-4, it was thought possible to tow
her to shoal water, where it would be
an easy matter to raise her.
Shortly before s p. M, however,
this plan was discarded, owing to the
slowness Of towing operations. An
aerogram was sent to the naval tender
Alert. which is equipped with heavy
cranes and tackle adapted to the work
of rescue.
The Alert arrived at the scene of
operations before dark and then began
the final stage of the work which off
cials declared would result in the rails
ing of the disabled submarine.
At 8 p. m. the inter-island steamer
Claudine left Pearl Harbor naval sta
tion towing the dredger California,
which was loaded with heavy chains
and other material. to be used in rails
ing the submerged craft.
Meanwhile the tugs were holding
fast to the submarine, whose position
had remained unchanged.

Washington, d. C.-Alarming re-

Germany ReneWs Efforts
to Satisfy HaLy's Demands

Rome = Efforts to effect an adjust
ment of the differences between Italy
and Austria are being continued per-
tinaciously by Prince Won .Buelow, the
German ambassador, notwithstanding
the almost insurmountable obstacles he
has encountered.
Authoritative information has been
obtained that the prince is now en-
deavoring to present the matter in a
somewhat different and more compre-
hensive way. He socks to convince
Italy and Austria that they should not
disregard the broader questions Of pol
icy and mutual self-interest on account
of possible misunderstandings Of the
moment.
Prince Won Buelow has expressed
the opinion that the matters now un-
der discussion cannot be limited in
their application to the present, but
will have far-reaching effect on the
future of both nations.

Bureau of Fisheries Finds

Washington, D. G. = During the
summer of 1914 the department of
Commerce, through the bureau Of fish
cries, conducted an exploration of GER
tain fishery grounds off the coast Of
Oregon to determine if halibut were
present in sufficient quantities to sup
port fishery.
A halibut ground of some value was
found off Newport, Ore, covering an
area Of approximately $50 square
miles. The run of fish on this bank
reaches its maximum in August and
September, but apparently is Of COM
mercial Importance as early as June,
and probably some halibut could be
taken in the latter part of April. As

Iuoo Ships 7orpedoed;;
$50 Lives Are Lost

London-About 159 lives were lost
in the sinking by German submarines
of the African liner Falaba and the
British steamer Aguila, bound from
Liverpool for Lisbon.
The Falaba was torpedoed in st.
Georges Channel Sunday afternoon.
The vessel carried crew Of 80 and
about 160 passengers, and of this total
only lao were rescued. OF those res
cued eight died later from exposure.
The Aguila had a crew of AZ and
three passengers, and of these 23 of
the crew and all the, passengers were
lost.
In both cases, on sighting the sub
marine, the captain tried to escape by
putting on all speed possible, but the
underwater craft overlook the steam
ers, showing that Germany now has
some Of her most modern submarines
engaged in the blockade operations
against England.
The captain of the Falaba, who was
one of those lost, was given five min
utes to get his passengers and crew in
to the boats, but, according to the sur
vivors, before this was possible tor
pedo was fired, striking the engine
room and causing terrible explosion.
Many persons were killed and the
steamer sank in ten minutes.
Trawlers which happened to be in
the vicinity rescued most Of those who
were saved; others got away in the
boats, which were ready for launching
and which were quickly lowered when
the order was given to abandon the
ship.
Those who were still on board the
steamer when the explosion occurred
were thrown into the sea and it took
the fishermen an hour or more to pick
up the persons in the water who man.
aged to keep themselves afloat.
The Aguila as attacked off the Penn
brokeshire coast. The sumbarine,
which in this case was the U-28,
opened fire with her guns, shells from
which killed a woman passenger, the
chief engineer and two Of the crew.
Even after the crew had commenced to
lower the boats, according to the story
Of the survivors, the Germans kept up
their fire, and some Of the boats were
riddled with bullets.
The captain of the trawler Otillie,
whom the commander of the submarine
told Of the sinking Of the Aguila, went
to the rescue and picked up the three
boats containing 10 of the crew. The
fourth boat, which contained the other
members of the crew, could not be
found, and it is believed that it had
foundered. On their arrival at Fish
guard, several Of the crew wore band
ages, having been wounded by the fire
from the submarine.
Another Dutch steamer, the Amstel,
of 495 tons, has been blown up by a
mine off Marlborough Head, but her
crew was rescued.
