Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-11-09

one sees in the newspapers constant
reports of family gatherings large
and small. People travel many miles
to attend them.
The phrase that "blood is thicker
than water" is not wholly meaning
less. The fact that families have a
common ancestor ought to mean
some community of feeling and con-
geniality of sentiment. The family
reunions are at least apt to gather
together both rich and poor, the
prominent and the obscure. People
seem at these occasions to forget the
artificial lines created by money and
society, and to meet on the basis of
a more natural and friendly senti-
ment.
Thanksgiving is but three weeks
away. Invite all the relations to
Ashland and make it season Of re-
union.

THE LIFE INSURANCE AGENT

The interests and future of life
insurance work were discussed at
the convention held at Boston few
days ago of the National Associa-
tion of Insurance Agents. The opin-
ion was confidently expressed that
the life insurance business as now
organized has nothing to fear from
the competition of state insurance.
Efforts have been made in some
states through banks and other agen-
cies to establish what is called 'over
the counter insurance. If every one
needing insurance would walk up to
an office and take it out without
solicitation, there would be big
economy. But like other ideas that
omit advertising, it won't work uni
versally while human nature remains
as it is.
common view of insurance was
expressed by the man who said, 81
don't think much of an investment
where l have to die to get my
money"
There are great many men hav-
ing good incomes who have made no
effort to secure protection for their
families in case of death. They think
in a happy-go-lucky way that their
life and health will endure indefi-
nitely. This type of man would
never walk up to state or bank
insurance office and ask for policy.
If he ever takes one out, it will be
due to the persuasive powers of
some agent
So it is likely, as the speakers re-
ferred to thought, that the life in
surance man will live long and flour
ish. He is a bit over-persistent, and
may talk a little too long. He is
certainly Johnny on the spot" and if
he reads an item to the effect that
you are. engaged to be married, he
will probably call around in about
three minutes and deliver a fervent
Grafton. But he is arguing in good
cause. With great many men who
can't save in any other way, an en-
dowment policy is the foundation Of
bank account. And many depend
ent families today owe their security
TO his determined efforts.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-11-09

Before embarking upon an agri-
cultural career Lowe was civil en-
gineer, having completed a four
years course in the Michigan State
University in two and one-half years,
working his way through school and
graduating with $3.50 ahead of the
game. While surveying a logging
road through the mountains near Ell
GIN Oregon, he was ordered to go to
Canada and do some preliminary
surveying on new line through the
Rockies. Having promised his wife
that he would do nothing of the sort
and having become disgusted with
the life of a civil engineer, Lowe
pitched his transit over a 400-foot
cliff, broke his drawing board over
stump and started for California
to fit himself for the profession Of
farming.
While on his way to the Chicago
Land Show, twenty years later, he
was invited to stop at La Grande
and make a speech. AS he was be-
ing introduced to the audience he
was astonished beyond measure to
see enter the room twenty men,
whom he recognized as members of a
class containing fourty-four boys
which graduated from the Elgin
school the year he taught there one
winter, the weather precluding out
door engineering work. The men
had come down to La Grande on a
special train, in which they took
their old teacher back to Elgin,
where he was rendered a fine ban
quet.
The work in which Lowe takes the
greatest interest is the testing and
creating of new varieties. Among
the latter, some of which have been
sold to seedmen and are yielding the
originator a good revenue, the fol-
lowing are deserving of special men
tion: Kentucky Wonder bush bean,
the first cross of which was made
by Burbank; the Lottie Lowe pea;
two new sunflowers; white corn
which was brought from Minnesota
and adapted to Oregon; a popcorn
which grows dozen feet high; and
beardless, hulless, six-rowed win
ter barley. During the past season
thirty-four varieties of grains and
grasses from Russia to Canada
were tested at the Lowe ranch.
Mr.. loves seventeen year old son,
Donnie, is a chip out of the old
block, having begun his farming op-
erations and plant experiments at the
age of six years. He has originated
new winter radish of excellent
suality and at the last State Fair at
Salem exhibited a tomato vine upon
which he has successfully grated
eleven different varieties. George,
aged six years, has for year or so

fascinated by his glowing descrip-

A"oNAhotOh W hio 6iOnih6 uOoSilp
tions of the Oregon country.
Upon these occasions Lowe appears
as the Man With the Hoe, being
dressed in overalls and carrying one
of the implements which made him
a horny-handed son of toll. The peo-
pie feel that they are listening to
practical farmer who knows whereof
he speaks and not to a fine-fingered
theorist or an unprincipled promoter.
The voice of the speaker booms out
like a foghorn, being equalled in
strength and volume by that of few
orators.
During his land show trip Lowe
may also have been observed ad-
dressing the largest Y. NJ. C. A. in
Chicago, student bodies at various
agricultural colleges, and visitors at
the New York Horse Show, and the
New Orleans Dairy Show. We next
see him in Cuba giving expert ad-
vice on alfalfa growing for the
Spreckles Sugar company; wading
waist deep in the flood waters of the
Mississippi in order to make train
connections, the tracks having been
washed away by the rampaging riv-
er; blizzard-bound for half week
in the Rockies; then, delighted be-
yond measure to see once more the
green fields of Oregon and to get
back home, where he can associate
with hens and horses.
Numerous calls come for lectures
before commercial clubs and high
schools. In all, TIA lectures are
given and 10,0S4 miles travelled in
four months. Tempting salaries are
offered Lowe to devote all his time
to advertising Oregon agriculture,
but he prefers farm life, where he
can be at home with the wife and
children and enjoy the first fruits
of his labors. A big railroad COM
pany insists upon putting him on
their payroll, but he refuses to ac-
cept transportation or other tangible
evidence of appreciation.
At the Oregon State Fair few
years ago Lowe was appointed on a
nomenclature committee, together
with couple of professional pomol-
ogists, to name a large number of
unknown varities of apples. The
horticultural highbrows were con-
siderably surprised to find that their
farmer assistant had correctly named
fourteen of the twenty-five apples al
lotted him. Surprise grew to amaze
ment when it was ascertained by
further investigation that Lowe had
also correctly named the eleven re-
naming apples of his quota. The
fair managers looked up the new
fruit judges pedigree and found that
his horticultural education had been
obtained at the California Agricul-
tural college and by working with
Luther Burbank, supplemented by
dozen years of farming in Mendo-
cino county. Since this incident Lowe
has been much in demand for judg-
ing fruit exhibits. At Salem last
year he made an exhibit which won
twenty-nine first premiums. The fol-
lowing month he took the exhibit to
the Portland Land Show and again
captured the same prizes which he
had won in 1912 and in addition
the sweepstakes and gold medal. His
at the Panama-Pacific exposi-
tion is too we'll known to require

THE FAMILY REUNIONS

To some people ties of kinship
mean little. They see no reason why
second cousins should be anything
to each other. A reunion of such
distant relatives would seem to them
as illogical as for all the people
whose names begin with the same
letter to form an association.
Yet there are still a great many
people who do feel the strength of
these ties Of clanship. Not as many
as formerly as families are scattered
nowadays all over the country. Still

d. Nj. LOWE, A BOOK FARMER
WHO is MAKING GOOD
By 0. II. Barnhill, Ashland, Ore.

ny ". H. Ddi ullll, ASuldnu, JIG
Come with me, gentle reader, and
with your mental Mazda look upon
a few pen pictures of a farmer who
changed his college kaiki for blue
bib overalls and is successfully put
ting into pillow practice the technical
theories which he learned in the class
room.
At the 1912 Portland Land Show
the police are having difficulty in
keeping the crowds from blocking
the aisles in the vicinity of the
Southern Oregon exhibit, Hundreds
of farm products have been artisti-
cally arranged, forming a bower of
agricultural beauty. In front of this
booth stands the exhibitor, himself
the chief object of interest, holding
the spectators spellbound with the
story of his farming experiences. Evi-
IDENTIFY. this is no oily-tongued immi-
grafton agent or silver-voiced subdi-
wider, but a plain, American farmer
who is familiar with all phases of
his subject, tremendously in earnest
and with boundless enthusiasm for
his chosen profession. Just now he
is disproving the irrigation orchard
ing. The exhibitors eloquence is
backed up with tangible proofs that
mixed farming can be made a great
success in this locality by carefully
conserving the natural rainfall, and
the crowds move on convinced.
The judges of the land show are
convinced of the extraordinary merit
of loves dry farming exhibit and
when he returns to his ranch near
Ashland his belt is bulging with the
following official awards:
State Horticultural society, first
premium, $3.50; Utah Nursery com
pany first prize, 800; gold and sill
yer trophy cups from the Portland
Commercial club, the Southern Pa
cific and Great Northern Railroad
companies.
The next year we see Lowe at
the Chicago Land Show, whittier he
has been sent by the Oregon State
Board of immigration. His exhibit
wins the sweepstakes award and, as
at Portland, is a center of attraction
to the immense crowds that pour
through the exposition building. Not
only are the people attracted by the
splendid display of farm products,
but by the exhibitors entertaining
lecture, which is continuous per-
formance. There is always some
thing doing at the Oregon booth. To-
day a woman who insists that the
44-inch sweet potato squash is made
Of papier-mache has the vegetable
plugged and then attempts to win
a dollar prize by carrying away the
huge product of Oregon soil.
Ever and sometimes oftener
"a tall sycamore from the Wabash
Or elsewhere lines up against the
foot sheaf of oats, trying to cap
.ure the $25 suit of clothes which
has been offered to the man whose
equals that of the grain.
When Lowe is not with his ex-
oibit he is making speech else
where, being in great demand at
he Coliseum, where audiences which
number ten thousand are
