The undersigned hereby gives
notice that they have applied to
the Secretary of State for regis
tration of the following describ-
ed Brand or Trade Mark: The
name of the brand or trade mark
is "Riclan." The design con-
sists of a picture of a mail sack
or pouch. to be printed in brown.
upon which appears the word
Riclan. fac simile of which
design has been filed in the office
of the Secretary of State at Sa-
lem, Oregon. This brand is to
be used on sacks containing
-four manufactured or sold by
the undersigned. The Jobes
Co., st. Johns, Oregon.
Assuming that in the near
future the present fertile farms
Of Western Oregon will be in
urgent need of fertilizing ma
terials, State Engineer Lewis has
recommended that some action
be taken to make use of the
great kelp beds along the Ore
gon coast in order to save the
amount Of potash
which is annually going to
waste. He states that il IS
comparatively easy TO procure
supplies Of nitrates and phos-
pilates, but the principal source
of potash is now closed by the
war. IL is believed the kelp
beds can be made to produce
enough potash for present and
future needs and may also open
up a new and profitable indus
try.
There never has been a time
in the history of the state when
the farmers have had such an
opportunity 10 make money by
livestock for meat pur-
poses as at present. With an
aggregate shortage of over g.
900, 600 meat animals approxi-
800. 900. 90 pounds. in the
leading packing centers of the
United States. il is certain that
for some years TO come there
will not only be an unlimited
demand for meat animals. but il
is also certain that prices will
range high and il is not impos-
sible that all previous records
may be broken. IL is a fact
that nearly all the big cattle
ranges of the state have been
broken up and that in only a
few locations is it possible to
find pasturage for large herds.
but il is also a fact that the aver.
age farm could be made to pro-
duce a larger number of animals
than is is now doing. With the
big packers and brokers willing.
and anxious, TO cooperate with
reliable farmers in the state in
stocking farms and ranches, il
would appear that any farmer
who fails TO take advantage of
his opportunities in this direc-
ton is making a big mistake.
The population of the entire
Northwest is increasing at a
rapid rate. the people must be
supplied with meat. and If Ore
gon ranches cannot meet the
demand it will certainly be met
by other states. a large amount
of money will be sent away and
the meat industry of the state
damaged TO just that extent.
