FARMERS WEEK At COLLEGE
Staff Will Try New Plan to Concentrate
Efforts on Practical Work.

prepared by Oregon Agricultural College,
Based on the needs of the average
Oregon farmer the Farmers Week
program at the agricultural college
this year will be prepared and carried
out by the members of the regular
college staff. This is radical depar
ture from former practices when the
work was outlined by specialized
groups of operators and conducted by
a combination of college men, farm
owners and out-of-state specialists.
The aim of the new plan is to con
centrate effort on the farming prac-
tees most important to farmers and
| to teach principles fundamental under
Oregon conditions. Through it's coun-
ty agent and farm bureau system and
it's branch station superintendent the
college is in better position than
any other agency to learn just what
| the needs and conditions are. 1t is
likewise in much better position to
bring these needs and how to meet
them to the attention Of the farmer.
Here is partial list of things that the
course will help farmers to do better
than before:
Feed and breed livestock and poul-
try.
Improve the dairy herd and man
age the dairy.
Use lime, legumes and livestock to
improve soils.
Lay out the farm and manage the
farmstead.
Economic the farm power-horse,
truck and tractor.
Produce the most profitable field
crops.
Improve orchard practices.
Pack and market the fruit crop.
Grow home fruits and vegetables.
Keep soil in good filth for seed bed
and moisture reservoir.
Maintain while utilizing to full ad-
vantage the soil fertility elements.
Pick out the best layers in the poul.
try flock.
Plan the farm home, and construct
other farm buildings
Operate, care for and repair farm
machinery, including tractors.
Lay out and construct irrigation and
drainage systems
Economic without skimping in use
of household food and clothing sup
plies
Read the best periodicals and books
for knowledge and pleasure.
Utilize the country and farm press
for advertising.
Supervise the health and recreation
of the children.
Cooperate with the county and home
demonstration agents, and club work
leaders.
Know and control disease and in.
sect pests of animals and plants, and
weed and poison plants.
Profit by the service for better
farming and better home life offered
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the Oregon Agricultural Col.
lege.
| When farm work is lightest and
conditions of study best Farmers
Week will be held = December 20
January 3. Forward-looking farmers
and housewives are especially provid-
ed for in the program, and all citizens
of Oregon are welcome. Don't you
want to go?
Social and cultural evening meetings
will be held, and every afternoon will
provide opportunities for state and dis.
trict organizations to meet and tran.
sact business. Living conditions on
the campus will be pleasant and ex-
penses as light as the times warrant.
If you have a county agent or farm
bureau take the matter up with them
and make arrangements for attendance
and for getting the most profit and
pleasure from this annual pilgrimage
to the state college.

 I am talking electrical gifts for Christmas presents this year.
 There are two reasons for this;
 First the recipient of the gift will be happy, more happy than you can ina zine; and secondly, you will be helping to spread the gospel of labor saving convenience and comfort. There are gifts to be had in this line for every member of the family at varying prices to suit all our purses. And to prove it, I am going to cite some of them. But I beg that you who are at all interested will look the mat ter up for yourself. You cannot get the idea from reading my suggestions, of what the appliances will honestly do.
 Learn to do your work by pressing a button, then teach every member of your family to do the same.
 Christmas Trees
 Let's talk Christmas trees first.
 Every person who ever dressed tree knows the annoyance and trouble of fastening the candles on, how one al- ways fears for the safety of the tree, and the home, because of the danger of some of the decorations catching fire from the candles. Well, it is a problem easily solved.
 Use electric bulbs.
 The lights are tiny colored affairs that come in groups of eight, twelve | fifteen, twenty two, or as many more as you wish. The eight cost around s4 and will last for ages. Each year they may be put away and used for the next year, and sometimes during the year one may want them for a fancy table decoration or for garden party or numerous other affairs. So they are not so expensive after all and oh, they have one great advantage-they are safe.
 For the Riddles
 I cannot enumerate all the little elec- tric toys that are to be had for tho children, but there are many. One thing I saw the other day that inter ested me exceedingly was a tiny cleo. tric range.
 I wish you could see it. Only s3.5( with cord attachment a tiny oven warming rack, four holes and two little aluminium kettles. It was dear ant would, of course, consume mighty littl, electricity. It attaches to an ordinary light socket.
 It seems a fitting thing to give tC little daughters because by the tim, they are old enough to own range fol themselves we will probably all bt cooking with electricity any way. For Him It is impossible to itemize all tn, things one may have for the adul members of the family in the pace

One of the things you positively do not want in a washing machine is the Hopping, uncertain belt or chain-either of which is likely to break, slip off or catch your clothes.

just exactly what he says ,and feels
just as he writes. We also know that
he is too good a citizen to want TO say
or 90 anything that would cripple any
movement or hurt any citizen.
We must confess that at first glance
he appears TO be right on the potato
proposition, but on second thought
one must admit that mixed products
of any commodity, corn, cotton or
anything else. will not sell at such ia
vorable prices as the unmixed. We
a-e therefore certain that the only
purpose, in getting behind the Nancy
Hall" potato was that inasmuch as
there are more Of them, it would ut
a majority of the farmers better and
thereby avoid the mixing of shipments
Our preference is decidedly for the
Yellow Yam just as "Sure Enough
Farmer" But any farmer will find
just as ready a sale for the locallyas
the Nancy Hall" and we feel sure
that where there can be gotten a car
load.of the yellow Vans, that they
will be just as readily sold as the
