OREGON GAINS
IN FARM PRODUCTS
Gain in Valuation Over 1915 Total
Production is $50 ZOO, ,OOO-ln-
crease in Prices for Wheat
and Potatoes Is Factor.
Portland Oregonian.

The past year hos been an unus
ually prosperous one for the Oregon
farmer. While there were only slight
gains in yields in some of the staple
products, prices in some cases reached
unprecedented proportions. The to-
tai value of Oregon crops is estimat-
ed at $155, 600, 1000, as compared with
$3.50, ,OOO, 900 for 1915, the gain for
1915 being $25,000,O00.
The wheat yield, which amounted
to about 100000 bushels for each
of the last two years, was worth
about $7,O00,0O0 more to Oregon far
mers than in 1915. There was an in
crease of about 100000 bushels in
potatoes, the yield last year being s.
100000 bushels. The returns from
potatoes amounted to more than $2,-
100000 over 1915. The increase in
the value of hay was in excess Of ST.
100000. Nearly all other products
made substantial increases in value.
The figures given above, as we'll as
others appearing in this article, are
compiled from reports Of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates, the
Oregon Labor Commission, State Tax
Commission, and other state sources.
The 1915 growing season was un-
usual in many respects. To begin
with, the Fall of 1915 was exceeding
ly dry. In the wheat belt Fall seed
ing of Summer-fallow land in many
cases was postponed until early
Spring. In the western portion Of the
state the dry season prevented Fall
plowing and seeding, for when the
rains did come, the weather contin-
ued so wet that seeding was impossi-
BILE. As a result of the unfavorable
Fall seeding conditions, the total
Spring-sown acreage for 1915 was
considerably above the usual amount
Fortunately, occasional rains, and
practically no hot winds during the
growing period, brought about a
season of unusually favorable condi-
tions for Spring planted crops. Even
in the Fall wheat districts the 1916
spring-sown crop frequently out
yielded Fall-sown acreage.
The Summer rains, however, did
some damage to matured grain, hay
and fruit. The cherry crop in par
ticular was badly damaged in some
sections by rains occurring at picking
time, but these same rains helped tc
produce a bumper potato crop, as
we'll as being of great benefit to all
crops during the growing season.
The 1915 Fall season was out OF
the ordinary also on account of early
killing frosts, and hard freezing
weather about the middle of Novem
ber. Late vegetables and corn were
considerably injured by the frs
frosts, and the November freeze die
considerable damage to apples anC
potatoes. So all in all the 1916 croI
season was quite out of the ordinary

AT THE LYRIC

Plenty of sunshine and living in
the open. instead of being cramped
up in a poorly ventilated elaborate
home, is what Douglas Fairbanks
breaches in his latest Aircraft film,
Down To Earth" now at the Lyric
Theater.
If people would only forget their
homes, and get down to earth. we
would have less use for doctors and
we would have healthier nation"
said Douglas Fairbanks in discussing
the theme of his new picture.
Animals generally are healthy"
he continued, because they live in
the open and climb trees, continu-
ously doing some form of exercising.
You very seldom hear of an animal
suffering from heart disease, bad
cold or tuberculosis. Then it stands
to reason, that sunshine and open
air should be taken advantage of, in
preference to afternoon teas and
sewing circles.
Walk on dirt paths in preference
to brick sidewalks, and take advan-
tage of the nourishments of mother
earth. Compare the boy who has
spent his life in the country, with
the over-dressed chap who lives in
the city. The former nine times out
of ten is a picture Of health, be-
cause he wallows around in the
mud, and gets down to earth. The
latter is afraid of soiling his kid
gloves, he covers every part OF his
body with clothes, thereby absolute
ly disregarding the health advantag-
es Of sunshine. I think, we will all
reach an age, when people will dress
more consistently to avail themselves
Of the sunshine and open air bene-
fits.

LIBRARY BOARD
HELD MEETING

The Library Board met on We'd
nesday evening with eight members
present. Reports were read. bust
ness transacted and magazines for
the coming year were ordered.
1t is doubtful If many of the pub
lie realize what an excellent list of
magazines is provided. There are
magazines of general reading, there
are several of the best womens mag
azines, several OF the choicest chill
dren's magazines. n number of Sc
rious magazines, some illustrated
magazines and some humorous. In
addition, there are half dozen dali
les. The assortment is complete to
meet the wishes of all sorts OF
readers.
The room in the Preston Block be-
side the Tithing office is very CEN
trail and most convenient. 1t is open
afternoons and evenings. A consid-
cradle number are making use of 1t
as the peoples library. 1t should be
much more generally used.
The book department is being well
patronized. books being drawn to
a daily average of nearly fifty.
The committee hopes soon to add
considerable quantity of new
books. The most recent additions
have been a set OF Shakespeare, a
set Of Stevenson and the full five
foot shelf of Harvard Classics. These
are notable additions and will no
doubt attract large number of
book users.
If you have suggestions as to the
books which should be purchased,
kindly advise Miss Hansen, the lib
rarian, or MIR. Weston Vernon, the
chairman of the Board.
