TRUCK CROPS MEANS
OF HELPING FARMER

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Jan. 23.-Truck crops are a
means of increasing the cash output
of the farm and at the same time fur
nishing another cultivated crop, and
they should be taken up largely by
the general farmer, said W. l. Spen-
Ger of Gresham in his address before
the Vegetable Growers and Home
Gardeners Conference. In selecting
the crop to be grown take into con-
sideration its requirements as to
climate, soil ana whether it is a
money crop in the section grown.
Cabbage is an instance of one often
grown. and under suitable conditions
will return good cash income and
in addition furnishes from one-half
to one ton of COW feed to every ton
of heads cut, factor to be carefully
considered by the farmer who keeps
dairy cows. Fall plowing is the best
insurance for a good crop of vegeta-
bles in the Willamette valley.
Grow or secure the best seed to be
had in growing onions and do not
expect to secure unusual success un-
less you do. That together with the
fertility of the soil are the prerequis-
ties for successful onion production,
thinks j. C. Leedy of Beaverton. If
the soil is deficient IN plant foods the
best all-around fertilizer IS we'll rot
ted manure spread on the ground the
year before.

ings stamps or certificates. It will
be the job of the Scout in every case
to secure a subscription for at least
one 25-cent thrift stamp.
Since these applications are all
printed with the franked mailing
privilege, they may be dropped in
the nearest mail box and Uncle Sam
will do the rest.
The local postoffice will receive
the application and will place on the
postal carriers the responsibility Of

collecting the payments therefor.

in a way that has far exceeded the
ability Of the railroads or anybody
else to demonstrate their patriotism

Mr.. Moore Of Pennsylvania. Could
not the railroads do that too. II they
had that much credit from the gov

Mr.. Stevenson. They have had
much more than the farmers have
had. They have had their credit in
the money center OF New York, and
when in 1907 We had a panic. pre-

New York. the farmers Of the south

have been established. upon which
they do business every day in the
year.
Not only that, but we passed last

require per cent Of all deposits Of
all banks Of the reserve system to be
maintained in those banks. and that

SOUNDS LIKE PROPHECY
Study of Speech by John l.. MeLaurin
in 1912.

IN 1S1E.
Anderson Farmers Tribune.
On January 18th. 1912. John L..
McLaurin, then a private citizen liv-
ing quietly at his home in Benefits
vile. was requested to deliver an ad-
dress in the state senate hall on the
warehouse bill. Mr.. McLaurin had
just returned from the governors
conference in New Orleans. where
the warehouse plan under state man.
agement had been formally recon-
mended. At the request Of the Marl-
borough delegation he had prepared
bill which had been introduced into
the house by Representative Mcqueen
Green. who died shortly afterward
and was succeeded by Mr.. McLaurin
himself as senator from Marlborough.
AS this was the first public exposi-
ton Of the warehouse idea. We have
carefully studied this speech There
are some remarkable utterances In
1t, considering what has since trans
pired. We make a few extracts:
Cotton.
ITO secure a fair price, the mark
citing must be gradual; We must have
some resource by which the surplus
can be withdrawn from the channels
Of trade, maintaining at all times
the equilibrium between production
and consumption.
Il would not contend that we
should attempt arbitrarily to fix
prices. do not want cotton 30 high
as to check consumption. nor yet 30
low as not to yield a fair profit on
the investment. It is now about
I Ia cents and II should be Is cents
compared to other products"
Continuing. Mr.. McLaurin discuss
ed property rights:
NO law can equalize mental or
physical faculties, accidental or in
herited differences, nor safety legis-
late away the national laws Of, COM
merce.

 Not only was it a success financially but socially as well for the arrange ments were delightful. Preceding the dance was program planned by Mrs. F.
