ASTORIA, Ore.-Merchants here to-

They are having a difficult time to
keep up with the demand, despite the
fact that this is the middle of the

It's the salmon t~rollers off the

using the bells. They arrange the
bells SO that when a salmon gets on
one of their lines he rings a bell.

Lounge Lizards"
On The Farms,

There is a very good reason
why farm land cannot be ex.
pected to yield as much pei
acre this year as usual. In many
sections of the country it is the
practice of farmers to summer
fallow" their land every two OF
three years. That is. where a
man has l60 acres, he may have
about two-thirds of it in crop
each year, while the remainder is
plowed once or twice during the
summer in order to restore fer
tihty. Because Of the high prices
of the last two years, farmers
have left little or none of their
land to lie fallow, and its pro-
ductiveness, per acre, is less than
normal. Increased acreage is
the greatest hope of increased
production, and increased acre.
age depends chiefly upon incrsas.

wise some method of driving cor
err loungers out to the farms,
they will help materially in pro-
more and cheaper food.
