50 Percent OF
BERRY PLANTS
ARE INFECTED

Fully SO per cent Of the straw
berry plants inspected for ship
ment this season have been found
to be infected with strawberry
root weevil, and not certified for
shipment, according to s. II. Van
Trump, county fruit Inspector.
This is not very alarming CON
dition, he said, as the root weevil
has been with strawberries for
many a year, but it happens that
much stock this year has shown so
many of the larya of root weevil,
shipments were refused
This condition need not worry
strawberry growers to any large
extent, as the root weeyil is found
in this part of the valley more or
less. But the laws of shipment
are such, that before nursery
may ship strawberry plants. they
must be entirely free from the
weevil.
Before shipments are made,
either by mail or express, there
must be attached a tag certify
ing that the plant is entirely free
from infection of any kind.

SAY OREGON TOW
OF BEST QUALITY

Every big. firm in the northwest
recently visited by George w.
Eyre when out selling tow manu-
factured by the Willamette Valley
Hemp & Flax Cooperative associa-
ton, declared that the 0reeon tow
was of the best quality and the
finest that had ever been offered.
And for this reason, Mr.. Eyre
said that he sold every firm visit
ed, excepting where the firm was
not in the maFket.
This demand for Oregon tow
was not only from the small firms
employing but few men, but
from the larger upholstering
plants, one of which in Tacoma
wished to place an order of five
cars for immediate shipment.
When he talked Oregon tow,
Mr.. Eyre said the manufacturers
were glad to talk to him. AS a
result of his recent selling trip
to Portland, Tacoma and Seattle,
he sold the entire output of the
association and all it can manu-
facture up to next July,
Mr.. Eyre now feels very conf
dent that the flax situation for
the association is extremely favor
able, with markets assured for its
entire output.

University Of Oregon, Eugene,
Nov. 27.-(SpecialD Bolstered up
by the fact that Oregon has an un-
broken string Of victories over Uni
versity OF Washington football
teams since 1915 and is leading
the Huskies on the basis Of com
parative scores this season, the
Oregon varsity football squad bent
every effort this week to get into
final form to trounce the Wash
ington varsity when the two teams
clash in Seattle on Thanksgiving
day.
Scores this season show oregon
leading the Huskies by ten points.
oregon defeated Idaho 3 to 0
while Washington registered 2
to 0 victory. Against Washington
State, Oregon won 13 to 0, Wash
ingtons win begin by 16 to 10
count. o. A. G. was taken into

! positions. This line was weaken
ed considerably Saturday when
Rud .Rrown, two year letterman

with a brokeE knee which will
keep him on the sidelines for the
rest of the season. However,
Spellman has Terry Johnson, who
won his spurs at end against Ida
ho, and Len Jordan and Ward
johnson, lettermen utility men, to
fit into the vacancy. The other
wing position is being taken care
OF by Bill Spears, who is playing
his first year in a manner which
brands him as conner. Spears
was accredited with Oregons
touchdown against the Aggies last
Saturday.

backfield and while the quartet

chine.
Captain "Tiny' Shields, George
