INTERSTATE
CONFERENCE

Dr. Frank s. Harris of the Utah
Agricultural College calls attention to
the announcement of the committee
on arrangements of the Interstate
Conference of Cereal Investigations.
The undersigned committee on ar
rangements respectfully announce
that on May 1929, 1915, an Interstate
Conference on Investigations Of Ce-
reals will be held in California. This
proposed conference is the outgrowth
of suggestions and expressed desires
on the part of many investigators for
a number of years that such a con
ference be held for the purpose of
comforting on the various phases of
all cereal research, but particularly
ing which there is difference of opin-
ion, different methods of work, diff
ferent points of attack and consider
able variation to results, in order
that these differences may be better
understood by each other and that all
such investigations be more coordi-
nate and effe .tive hereafter.
1t seems that the fact that there
are no other meetings at that time
of conflict with this one and the fact
that 1t is near harvest time In that
region would be much in favor Of
having the conference at the time
stated. 1t is realized that the time
may be inopportune for some and that
many In the eastern part of the Uni
ted States will not be able to attend.
1t is hoped, however, that even those
in the East there may be certain
ones who would any way visit Cali
fornia about that time and would
avail themselves of the opportunity
to take part in the Conference. 1t
Is hoped and expected that there will
be a good attendance from the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river. A
number have already signified their
intention Of being present and have
submitted titles of papers.
The arrangements are: to meet at
MERGED, Tuesday, May 25, for a field
inspection of the San Joaquin Val
ley cereals, go to Berkeley the even
ing of the same day and begin the
conference proper the morning OF
the Goth at the University of Cali.
fornia; continue the program the
next day at the State Experimental
Farm at Davei and finish the day with
an inspection of the farm; then go
to Chico in the evening or the next
morning and visit the Plant lntroduc-
ton Garden of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture on the 2Sth.
During the same day those who wish
will go by automobile to Biggs to in
spect the Rice Experiment Farm at
that place. That day will end tlS
Conference, after which the individu-
al delegates will spend such other
time and go to such other points with
in the state as they desire.
The following are proposed as gen.
eral subjects Tor discussion, unuer
each of which subtopics may be dis
eussed by different members as their
inclination may dictate:
/. Problems of Pacific coast wheat
production. ~.
2. Improvement of barley for the
Pacific coast.
3. Problems in cereal smuts.
4. Grading, milling, mailing and
baking.
8. Weed control in cereal produc-
ton.
6. Tillage and crop rotation.
Z. Insect enemies of cereals.

The committee in charge is plan
ming to make the sessions especially
reflective of the spirit and enthusiasm
of the northwest. That individual
enjoyment and opportunities afforded
for personal acquaintance with the
club, women from all over the coun-
try shall not be overlooked, Mrs.
Sarah A. Evans, president of the
Oregon Federation of Clubs, has ar
ranged through the committee for
numerous social functions.
Portland is famed far and wide as
the city of Roses" and its people
are the essense of hospitality. The
club women of the city are vieing
with each other to make the meeting
a red letter occasion, both FOR Port
land and its visitors. No pains are
being spared to provide for the COM
fort and enjoyment of the guests.
Hotel Multonomah will be head
quarters for the delegates while the
Council sessions will be held in the
White Temple.
In addition to the hotels and board.
ing houses, special apartments may
be rented by the week or month by
parties of women who desire to re.
main beyond the Council session. AS
Portland is one of the delightful sum
mer resorts of the Northwest, a
of women who prefer the
quiet and seclusion of apartments
away from the center of activities
have already made reservations of
such apartments.

BY George Munson
81 believe in you, Jim," Myra had
said, and she was the only member of
the bank staff that did.
The situation was this: Jim Elem
ing's accounts were three thousand
dollars short at the end of the day.
Three bills of the denomination of a
thousand dollars apiece were missing.
Fleming said he had put them in the
drawer. But they were not in the
drawer and could not be found
The president accepted Fleming's
explanation. Fleming retained his
position as assistant paying teller
He was earning $3.50 a year - just
enough to support single man in the
little town. There was no hope of
marrying Myra until he was getting
at least $500 more. That would have
ment only a couple of years to wait,
for promotion was fairly rapid. Jim's
$3.50 represented first years salary
Jim had shown so much aptitude he
had been made assistant paying tel
Ter without the salary corresponding
to the position. 1t was the policy of
the bank never to pay more than $3.50
to frst-year man, and it is a policy
not uncommon. However, the next
year Jim would have gotten a thou
sand.
Jim not only retained his position
but was promoted to be paying teller
the second year-still at $3.50. Ordin-
arily the position would have started
at 81, $50. Then Myra, the managers
stenographer, and Jim could have
been married Now marriage was
impossible. The fellows in the bank
grinned and wondered where Jim had
Sailed the money away. Everybody
that he had simply, by an audacious
conception that amounted to genius,
taken the $4,000 and brazened it out.
Old Moss, the president, was as
hard as nails. He never let up on a
