productive section-not boom, which
is disastrous In most cases, but q

Pacific Coast, according to bulletins
received today by the Western Forest

regions have the advantage of late
snow disappearance this spring, May
and June were abnormally dry and
woods conditions have reached a dam

fires In green timber are expected and

TAX TAKEN FROM
. PLEASURE BOATS

At least one class Of taxpayers will
have a concrete demonstration OF the
tax reduction promised by the admin
istration, according to Clyde G. Hunt.
ley, Collector of internal revenue.
"For several years." said Mr.. Hunt
ley, there has been an annual specia.
tax Of $40 upon all motor pleasure
boats Of not over five net tons, and a
heavier tax upon boats of greater ton.
mage, but commencing July /, this tax
will not apply to boats except those
Of more than five net tons and 80 feet
in lenbth."
Most Of these taxes paid in this state
have been on boats Of less than five
net tons, and their owners will now be
relieved of the $40 tax. There are only
a few motor driven pleasure boats N
Oregon that will now be subject to the
tax, and their owners must, Of course,
make return and pay the tax.
Collector Huntley states that several
hundred Oregonians will be relieved of
the $40 tax burden, and also that the
owners Of work and fishing boats OF
not more than five net tons, who have
heretofore been required to make re.
turns and secure exempt cards will no
longer be put to that trouble.

yACHATS FARM
BUREAU TO HOLD
ANNUAL PICNIC
Elaborate Program OutIiI.es for
Entertainment of Visitors; o.
colt and Pierce to Be Speak
ers.

The Annual Yachats Farm Bureau
Picnic will be held this year on July
2lst and 22nd. Profiting by their ex-
perience Of last year this live wire
community has staged their picnic this
year at a time when the time, tide and
everything else is right. With the low
tides in the morning and evening, a
fine hard beach is available for getting
to and from Yachats from Wald-
port, this giving also two times q day
during which the various games can
be played and at which time the va
cationer can dig clans aplenty, get
out onto the rocks for fishing, crabb-
ing, or for rock oysters. Big free bar
becue dinners, clam bakes, bonfire
parties on the beach, races, contests,
music, and even motion picture shows
right out in Natures gallery under the
spruces, are some Of the features
planned. President Geo. A. Mansfield
will be present, as will also Governor
Ben w. O,cott, and Democratic aspir-
ant, Mr.. Pierce. We could mention a
lot OF the individual attractions includ-
ing a special treat of mountain goat"
which we are sure you will enjoy.
When II is considered that Yachats is
most wonderful place to spend a va.
cation even without the special added
attraction Of this picnic, we are sure
that every visitor to the 1922 annual
affair will be more than satisfied.
:. E. How to Get There.
The Yachats may be reached by
train via Corvallis to Yaquina, thence
taking the auto stage line south
through Wa,dport to the Yachats. Or
for the autoist, two routes are avail
able, the Corvallis-Newport Highway
then ferrying the Yaquina and Alsea
Bays driving on the beaches between
them. Or the Corvallis.Alsea and
Waldport Highway to Whldport thence
south to Yachats on the beach. These
roads are perfectly safe although on
account of construction are somewhat
rough. and the autoist should not at
tempt speedy schedule. Also in driv-
Ing the beaches, tide tables should be
consulted in order that the beaches
may be travelled at near low tide.

OREGON FARMERS "CUT IN"
ON STATION EXPERIMENTS
Progressive Leaders Take "Short Cut"
to Get Science Findings Into Action
On Farm.


Quick action in getting results Of ex-
pertinent station investigations into
action on Oregon farms was said by
the California legislative committee
looking into agricultural college work
to be one of o. A. C.s most distin-
guished qualities. Farmers have gone

Gently by visiting the station In large
bodies, seeing for themselves just
what findings are Of value and applic-
able to their conditions, and going
home with the dope in their pockets
for use-possibly the next day or that
evening. Can you beat It?
The shrewdest Of these farmers say
that in one day they learn some
things of great value that they have
tried many years of actual farming to
pick up without success. Among some
score OF things listed as highly usefui
information the following are fire.

ITALY FAR BEHIND DEMAND

How little the telephone Is used in
Italy is shown by the statistics for the
city of Milan, which, with its $4,000
inhabitants, had at the end of 1920 only
about $4,000 telephones, or ,Ely ABOUT
two telephones for every 100 people.
In Milan, for example, therH are re-
