Bend Commercial Club Objects To
McNary Bill.

Bend, Ore, May 8.-The Bend
Commercial Club passed a resolution
condemning the bill recently intro
duced by Senator McNary which
would remove about 1875 square
miles from the National Forest and
place it in the Crater Lake National
Park, on the ground that the land is
needed at this time for grazing. Re-
solutions were also passed by the
Central Oregon Sheepmen's Associa-
tion and other livestock associations
condemning the enlargement of Cra-
ter National Park at time when the
Nation is in need of the range for
feed purposes. 1t is not understood
here why Senator McNary should
have introduced bill in the senate
which would work such an injus-
tice to the people of the state east of
the Cascades.

OREGON GETS OFF,
GERS TRAINING CAMP
Reserve Military Camp Authorized
by Congress Gives to State Ed
ucatiOnal Institution Big
Duty in Connection
With War.

A Reserve Officers Traing Camp
will be established at the University
of Oregon. A bill which was intro
duced in Congress by Senator Cham
berlain creating the same, has been
signed and is now a law. Colonel
John Leader. Of the British Army,
who has been training Oregon stu
dents at Eugene in war tactics, has
recommended the appointment Of
Jacob Kanzler, now captain in the
new national army at Camp Lewis,
as an assistant in the work. Cap
tain Kanzler was prominent in civic
circles in Portland and took a great
interest in various club activities
there before being called to the col
ors.
The bill provides a permanent re-
serve officers training camp at the
University of Oregon. According to
the plans laid, the camp will be in
continuous operation, turning out
officers in about the same time as
required by other training camps
now in operation. Nearly 800 stu
dents of the university and about 35
faculty members are planning on
work.
"a good many members of the
home guards will join the reserve
officers training camp" said Colonel
Leader. 'The home guard ofeani-
cations have done much. with but
little encouragement and backing in
giving their members training. In
Lane county there are now 28 COM
panies and every member is working
on an average of six hours week.
They have provided their own uni
forms and taken q most commenda-
BILE interest in their organization.
All males between the ages of Is
and As, who can pass a successful
physical examination, will be eligi-
BILE to join the training camp, which
will be in active charge of Colonel
Leader.

County Agents Hold
Conference at Ontario

Starting with the annual meeting
Of the Cattle and Horse Raisers AS
sociation at Ontorio, a party made
up of Paul v. Maris, State Leader of
County Agents; E. L. Potter, Prof.
of Animal Husbandry at O. A. c.; o:
M. Nelson, in charge of the sheep
work; L. E. McDaniels. ]. L. Peter
son and W. s. Dutton of the Forest
service, and county agents from
Crook, Deschutes, Morrow, Umatilla,
Union, Wallowa, and Baker counties,
made tour of Baker and Union
counties where conferences were held
at a number of the farms.
After visiting the Herfords of Her.
bert Chandler of Baker, and Andrew
Blockland of LaGrande and the
Shorthorns of Green and Sons, w. J.
Townley Sherman Hutchinson, and
M. Delays all near Union, one can
see no need for the cattlemen going
East to buy range bulls. Here in
Oregon are the best type at prices
that the fastener cannot beat.
The farms of William Pollman off
cred good demonstration as to what
could be done with run down land
when its Improvement was carefully
planned. .Mr. Pollman is one of the
leading stockmen of the state and
keeps books on his farms so he knows
where the profit is. Contrasting
with him is the farm of Homer Car
mes at North Powder where by ro-
tation of crops, careful study of con-
ditions and the same regard for keep
ing records, young man just out of
school is making a small farm pay
him an income of better than three
thousand dollars per year.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the trip was the days spent with
the stockmen near Union where the
silo is rapidly becoming one of the
fixtures on the farms of those stock
breeders. w. ]. Townley has used
weeds and coarse grasses that grow
up on the ditch banks and along the
fence rows with excellent results, he
says, ''of course the better stuff yoI
put in the silo the. better YOU will
take out" but finds that the stock
will clean up feed in the form OF ST
lage that they would not touch other
wise. Feeders generally in that sec
tion are substituting pound of 81
lage for a pound of, hay or straw.
4 One day was spent on the range
N Senator Pierce where he explained
how he had been able to increase the
carrying capacity Of the range 35 per
cent in the past three years. Mr..
McDaniels of the forest service gave
a demonstration of the methods used
in estimating the carrying capacity
of any range,
The last day, the farm of Hill, Nc
Kennon and Coolridge was visited
and Mr.. McKennon explained how
with silage and cotton seed meal he
was able to produce l20 per cent Of
lambs from band of ewes that went
into the winter in poor condition.
Mr.. Playle showed how he was able
to winter 120 head of stock on feed
