A. 0. ADAMS STILL
CLAIMS BERRY RECORD

About a month ago A. o. Adams,
postmaster of Cascade Locks, reported
that he had harvested l6 crates of
strawberries from a plot of ground
2, 400 feet square. In news story to
the Oreg0nian at that time. it was as
serted that Mr.. Adams was laying
claim to the record yield for Oregon.
The claim, however. was disputed by
F. j. Williams, of Tigard, who in q
communication to the Oregonian stated
that he had harvested 70 crates Of ber-
ries from 6, 1873 square feet.
"But when the story concerning me
was published, says Mr.. Adams, who
was here Monday, 81 was just half
through with my harvest. The total
yield has now almost been doubled. In
all ] have harvested, and my wife has
sold the fruit at an average Of 10 cents
per box, 620 boxes of berries from the
little plot. l think these figures will
assure me the record.
''In addition to the little plot of
Clark Seedlings, have few plants of
the Everbearing variety in my garden.
| am now picking two boxes per day
from these few vines. Last year !
picked Everbearing berries right on
through until Christmas, having fresh
strawberry shortcake for Christmas
dinner. l would advise that more
growers plant Everbearing strawber-

Western Fire Insurance Rates

There is frequent criticism of the
fire insurance rates on the Pacific coast,
and most property owners do not un-
derstand why they are so much higher
than in country risks in the middle and
eastern states. A recent paragraph
issued in the American. published by
the German-American Insurance Co.,
says:
"Our agents are reminded that dur
ing the hot, dry season, fires are bound
to occur occasionally in dwellings on
which moss has been allowed to accum-
ulate during the winter season and has
not since been cleaned off. A cleanup
campaign is good in dwellings districts
as well as in business centers.

Gracious Manners.

The charm of gracious manners and
consideration for other human beings
is a quality that develops rapidly IL

is always kind creates an atmosphere
of loneliness that is like halo about
her head. II you are naturally shy
and reticent, it is all the more neces-
sary that you should endeavor to shine
a bit. 1t is not lack of pleasant
thoughts that worries the self-con-
scious. but the fear of giving express
sion to them. You must try to make
yourself companionable to others.

DRESSES KEEP cows HEALTH
tecting Animals From the Cold
Brings Good Results.

An authority on dress and its cut
for dairy cows is Sir Francis Webster,
a wealthy manufacturer of hemp goods
in Scotland and the owner of a stock
range in Texas embracing 100000
acres and thousands of head of stock.
Sir Francis cows are dressed regu-
larly every winter in suits of hemp
cloth made at his own manufacturing
establishment, to protect them from
the cold and snow, minimize the dam
gers from tuberculosis, and increase
their daily yield of milk. Each COW
has two suits a week.
They are not elaborate dress af-
fairs by any means, with lingerie and
all that. 1t is a man-made dress of one
piece, or simply coverall blanket that
fits loosely. This, of course, means
added expense, but the yield of milk
during cold weather Is about q per
cent larger than from cows not sim
ilarly protected.
