Many tobacco. coTpess. sOybean and
corn fields are being seeded to the
crop In cases where farmers wish
to grow a cover crop for grain that
Is to be harvested next year. barley
Il proving most popular. The yield
Of this crop has been around 30 bush
els an acre an land that produced
only seven or eight bushels Of wheat
an acre.
Unsatisfactory yields obtained dur
ing the last few years from wheat,
which in thep ast has served as a
cover crop on many Christian county
farms. have caused much Of the in
creased use Of rye this year. Wheat
yields as low as seven or eight bush
els an acre were reported in tn
county this year with the result that
many farmers we're compelled to take
up the growing Of some other covei
crop that would Civ emore profitable
returns.

10000 BUSHELS OF RYE
PLANTED IN CHRISTIAN

More than 10000 bushels Of rye
most Of which is Of the ROsen vari.
ETY., is being used b. Christian coun-
y farmers this fall as seed for cover
crops that are being planted to pro
tect fields from erosion and teaching
during the coming winter, according
to r. z. Stephenson. soils and crops
specialist at the College Of Agricul-
ture, who has just returned from a
trip to that section Of the state. De-
spite the fact that Christian county
in the past has been one Of the lead
ing wheat producing counties in the
state, the acreage of cover crops
seeded this fall is expected to exceed
that Of wheat
The seeding Of cover crops on land
that grew cultivated crops during the
summer Just passed is now in full
swing in practically every section Of
the state. The importance Of this
farm practice has ben stressed dur
ing the last few years by the college
extension division with the result
that the acreage Of such crops bids
fair to be increased in many counties
Of the state during the present fall.
Christian county farmers believe
that Rosen rye is especially satisfac-
tory as a cover crop because Of the
vigorous growth which It makes. I
They also find that it stools out more
than common rye, one bushel Of it
being equal to one and one-half BUSH .
els Of white rye. Although there are
several other crops that are suited
to prevent soil washing and plant
food teaching during the winter, rye
Is proving to be the most popular in
Christian county. This is especially
true where the crop is to be used for
grazing or turned under in the spring.

READING

Some people read much, but do
very little thinking. They see the
words in print before them, but not
the great fundamental truths that in
spire those words.
The habit of reading is one of ines
timable value to the individual, but
it should not be carried beyond the
point where intelligent thought can
dissect the subject and master the
secrets that are not otherwise reveal
ed. Cramming the mind is like jam
ming the cylinder of an engine. 1t
becomes too tight to function, and is
thus rendered useless.
Read a little. think a lot, and you
will travel easier and go farther on
your way.

BABY BEEF VERY PROFITABLE

Baby beef production can be made
most profitable on land worth not
more than $3.50 an acre, Of which at
least 50 per cent is easily cultivated.
says w. H. Peters, acting chief of the
animal husbandry division Of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota. By baby beef
production, he says, is meant the
growing. fattening and marketing Of
beef calves at ages ranging from II
to "a months. is to IS months being
the most economical at which to sell.
With sufficient fat on them when
placed on the market, baby beeves
are always market toppers," Profes-
sor Peters says. Baby beef produc-
ton allows raising of more calves on
the same amount Of land than does
production Of stock or feeder cattle.
Each good baby beef steer should sell
for $50 to $50 more when one and one
half years old than the average feed
er steer will bring at two and one
half years Of age"

DON'T BE CONTENT

We should never allow ourselves
to become perfectly contented. This
may seem strange advice, but it isn't.
When We are perfectely contented
there is nothing else that we desire,
and without dsire there can be no
ambition, no incentive to push for
ward and accomplish greater things.
Perhaps the turtle on a log on a
sunny day is content with his lot
But who wants to be a turtle?

Extra Session
May Be Called

A special session Of the legislature
may be called for the purpose Of reg
ulating the price Of coal a. Govern
or Morrow told representatives Of
the Retail Coal Dealers Association
that unless the price comes down IL
will have to be regulated BY act Of
the Legislators. Hs does not antic.-
pate. however. that it will be aeces-
ssry to call the legislature into 5pe-
cizl session for that purpose a. he
believes the price Of coal will soon be
down to normal
There Is no excuse, he said. for the
present price Of coal a. the shortage
in production caused by the strike no
longer exists He assured the dealers
that he intended to do everything in
his power to see that Kentuekians
get all the coal they need and 5ecIar-
ed that he had never failed to get
coal for communities in need Of it
The railroads and the coal operators,
he said. had willingly complied with
all requests made BY him
r A Watson, Of Louisville, presi-
dent Of the association, stated that
the retail price in Louisville is s1O-50
a ton. Coal at the mine, he said. can
be bought for IS or 81 a ton, but de-
cIared that it is impossible to get
buyers for coal at the mine.

OF the large number OF candidates

that such things can be done.

practice. No matter how noble may
be the intention of the members of
these societies, and some of them
undoubtedly are high minded, yet
they have taken the wrong way to
secure the ends they seek. What
these ends are no one not a member
can know. No one knows who or
what they are. They do not come
into the open. They are self select
ed and self governing. They have
no business attempting to dictate to
the people of Oregon who shall be
the candidates for office.
The Argus has long admired SEN

able man, but So long as he runs as

cannot believe that he Is entitled to

The attacks upon United States
Senator r. ~ stanfleld which of
late have had prominence in the
Boise Statesman are bitter pills for
Oregonians. or course It is only In
Malheur and Harney Counties that
Oregonians are aware OF the state
ments which are being directed at the
junior Senator, still they are bound
to percolate back to Washington and
have their effect there.
Just what to expect personally
from a man in the position of a
United States senator is a question.
This is especially true of one who is
in the sheep and cattle game, and
has been In II during the past five
years.
The people have a right to expect
that public servant be he a county
official or United States senator,
will pay his bills. To do less is a
reflection upon his character, yet II
can be said Of every stockman,
nearly, that he is having a struggle
to get even with the game and make
up his loses OF the past few years.
without apologizing for the fact
that Bob stanfield. apparently, has
not paid all his bills, yet Il is not a
questionable practice when another
pubic official like Miles Cannon in
neighboring state takes to giving
publicity to Bob'a derelict!on in this
respect.
Goodness knows, Mr.. Cannon and
his Idaho farmers are not alone In
their worry over bills that Bob has
been struggling with during the past
year. Neither ought he or they la
mont that he has been able TO buy up
all the sheep In sight, with funds
advanced by various interests. for
II IN through the profits which he
anticipates from these purchases
that Bob expects to pay his back bills
and get somo of the many outfits he
ran In days gone by back on their
feet again.
In his efforts to get his affairs In
shape tho junior Senator has spent
a large portion OF the time since he
took office. In welser and other
Idaho cities and towns looking after
his interests there. lie oven cut his
Oregon offices and moved all his and
Mr.. Updike's activities TO Welser to
reduce exn9nses and thus furnish
means for paying those bills. The
Idaho folks could hardly ask more.
They wanted him over there, and
they have him, and according to Mr..
Cannon. n few accounts payable.
