AN A1h-oREGoN ORGANIZATION

There is movement on foot,
which is said to have had its incep7
tion at Albany and Salem recently.
to organize what Is to be known as
the Oregon Chamber Of Commerce.
A convention will be held at Port
land December IL, Is and IA, when
citizens from every section Of the
state will be expected to be present
to assist in forming the organiza.
ton. Every commercial body in the
state has been communicated with in
regard to the meeting.
Problems affecting the develop
ment of the country are being con-
sidered to greater degree than
ever before. Many states are work
fng upon plans for attracting set
tiers, and the interior and agricul-
tural departments of the federal gov
eminent are working upon plans for
the employment of our returned sol
diers. Naturally the tendency OF
these departments is toward land
development, and the western states,
with their large areas Of untitled
land, are being scrutinized as never
before.
Oregon, with her vast areas O.
logged-of lands and burned oveV
and arid sections, her recently de-
veloped irrigated districts, offers ad
vantages not excelled by any othe;
state.
A thorough survey of the burned
over and logged-off lands in oregor
shows s3o,675 acres suitable for, ag
ricultural purposes when cleared
and 1,SSs.00O acres which could b.
used as pasturage. This does no
include the many thousands OF acre
OF tillab1e cleared land now idle an,
upon which settlers could be put a
once.
The Portland Chamber OF Com
merce, the Oregon Land Settlemen
commission and the Oregon Agricul
tural college have outlined a, pla'
which will be presented by Whitne
l.. Boise, representing the Portlan
Chamber Of Commerce and the Ore
gon Land Settlement commission
and H. D. Scudder, representing tn
Oregon Agricultural College, to tn
officials at Washington, D. c., with

ARKANSAS NEEDS THREE HUN. DRIED THOUSAND HOGS FOR
 ARMY AND OUR ALLIES.

Help increase hog production in Ar kansas by providing winter forage crops. The corn crop is short There fore We must turn our attention to other crops suitable for winter graz ing. Rape, wheat, oats, rye or barley make good winter rations for hogs. Sow rape in September. Prepare the ground as though for turnips Seed broadcast at the rate of lbs per acre, or lbs per acre when seeded with rye or oats. Sow in drills at the rate of 3 lbs per acre and blow twice. One acre of good rape will support 1925 hogs weighing 75-100 lbs for 90 days. Corn and corn alone will not be prof itable. Pasture and pasture alone will not be profitable. Provide both and you will have splendid combition. Sow rape, wheat, oats, rye, or barley, or vetch, or any combination of these fot wearing pigs and shoats this fall

DROUTH STUNTED SORGHUM
 NOW DANGEROUS.

''The severe drouth that is being experienced in large parts of the state is bringing with it danger regarding which every farmer who grows sor- ghum should be warned" says Dean Martin Nelson.
 "A number of cases of death of cat tie have been reported to the Experi- ment Station resulting from eating sorghum, and the samples sent to us show well marked development of Prussic Acid poison in the stunted sor- ghum.
 This poison acts very quickly and kills cattle when they have eaten only mouthful or two ItZis necessary, therefore. to exercise extreme caution to keep stock away from sorghum fields by keeping the fences up in good condition. Instances are known where cattle have broken in and had time only to take mouthful when they were driven out of the field, yet the cattle died in few minutes
 It will require the greatest vigi lance to avoid the loss of stock this year where sorghum IS grown and is stunted by the drouth.

GIyF-A-BUSHEL PLAN 1NSTl-
 TILTED IN THIS COUNTY

Fayetteville, Aug. i2.-Organiza- tion of the county for the state and nation-wide Give-A Bushel movement, iraugurated by an Arkansas woman to aid crippled soldiers, was perfected a- meeting held at the court house Sunday afternoon. By this campaign 1T is planned to provide ways for help inp disabled soldiers who can not fol- low their former vacations and care for themselves and families to get a new start in life. Some will need new legs and some will need new arms and some will need to be taught how to do some useful work.
 The court house was crowded with from the various school districts at the meeting here yesterday. J. V. Walker addressed the meeting and explained the system of organization. Pledge cards were furnished to members of school boards in all districts and each will see that they are distributed among the peo- pie.
 The signer pledges to give one or more bushels of his most abundant crop. Those who are not raising any thing should pledge the equivalent in money. It is hoped that the pledges will amount to one bushel for every three people, or at least four, count ing the whole population.
 When the cards are filled out they should be returned to the school di- rector and by him returned to w. C. Harrington, County Chairman at Fayetteville.
 In filling out the card every one should specify where and to whom he will deliver his bushel, selecting place convenient to him. He may de- liver the bushel or it's value in money All pledges should be delivered not later than December The produce will be sold and the proceeds deposit Cd in a bank for use when needed.
 It is expected that this method shall continue throughout the war and pos

FARMING HINTS.
CURE HAY PROPERLY AND AT
 RIGHT TIME.

Harvest hay at the right time and
 in the right way to secure a product
 of fine quality Cow-peas should be cut soon after the first pods are ripe
 for hay of the best quality. Soy beans
 may be cut for hay any time after the pods begin to seed until the leaves be- gin to turn yellow. For best quality Iof hay, however, the crop should be cut after the lower buds are we'll formed and commence to swe-.. Ii cutting is delayed the stalks increase in woodiness and are not so palatable. Sorghum when broadcasted is best cut for hay when the seeds are Tn the ear Ily dough stage. Hay crops, particu- llarly legume, should be raked in with the windrow soon after the leaves are wilted. If the weather IS likely to stay dry the hay may be left in the windrow until dry and then put in the cock. Cowpea and soybean hay may be cured in a most desirable fashion by cooking the hay on poles with cross pieces to keep the green hay off the ground, and permit the air to circu- late; or, better, on pyramids made of three poles about six or eight feet long with cross pieces at the base to aid air to circulate. The hay can be stacked in this fashion soon after it is cut and a desirable quality of hay obtained. The use of hay caps over the cocks is always desirable, espe- eially in wet weather.

OUR BOYS ON THE MARINE.

OUR BOYS ON THE MARINE. When our boys were ready to go over
 the top,
 They said they didn't care a single
 darn, They were fighting for Old Glory Our brave soldiers on the Marne. About this time little girl seemed
 to rise up,
 Blood streaming from severed arm, This put flame into our brave boys hearts,
 Who were getting ready to fight on
 the Marne. They routed the germs and scattered
 them,
 And said they did not think it any
 harm, They had been well trained for taking
 blood,
 Long before they reached the
 Marne. Some people think the soldiers pay
 is high,
 And they say 1t is more than they
 can earn. They don't stop to think of the booty
 captured,
 While bravely fighting on the
 Marne. The germs very soon found out They had something yet to learn, When they come to crossing swords With our brave boys on the Marne. The Kaiser said the Americans were no good,
 And spoke of them with perfect scorn, But I am sure our boys learn him a thing or two While bravely fighting on the Marne. Some think the Kaiser would be glad, To quit and lay the whole thing down, But I don't know so well about that, The allies seem to want his crown. l had a long dream the other night, About the Kaiser hiding out in his barn The soldiers had him well surrounded, Twas the soldiers from all the Marne If you don't believe what I have wrote And the whols truth you would learn Just ask General Mangin what he knows
 Of our brave soldier boy on the Marne That is right, brave boys, Give the Kaiser your very best knocks. The women are working day and night To supply you with comfortable
 socks. They told me they had plenty of work, And was expecting some more yarn, To be formed into comfortable gar
 ments
 For the brave soldiers on the Marne. When the soldiers come marching
 home,
 Do not do as the Kaiser did-hike to the barn, But pleasantly meeting and kindly
 greet them. Our brave soldiers from the Marne. When you have them backing out, And are pressing them over the hill, Don't for one moment forget your training,
 Which you remember is kill, kill, kill. How the boys are doing 1t, The germs will never be the wiser They are working on the outside just now,
 Trying to round up the Kaiser.
