grow the supplies for his family
and tie feed for his animals be-

Diversified farming, growing Of
hogs for the market, milk COW

These things will not only take
care Of the family at home but
will provide surplus for the
market and be the means of pro-
viding for a cash income each
month.
One trouble with the old cred
it system of farming has been
that the average farmer does
not have any money but once a
year and he does not get in the
habit Of handling money. If he
had an income every month in
the year, or several times a year
he would get accustomed to hand
ling it and would learn to save.
Under the old system if he had
a surplus after selling his crop
he though the first thing to do
was to go and spend it and begin
right ever again on the old credit
and time system
We want to see this commun-
ity take full advantage Of the
services Of this agricultural agent
and through the raising Of
hogs, the development Of the
dairy cow and poultry, and the
growing of food and feed stuffs,

courag ment of the bankers and

seemed to be all that was standing be-

night. After another day of struggle

Keeper of Multnomah had definitely
gone over to the Upton camp, making

said 10 have announced that he Will
not join the Upton forces under any
circumstances and the opin on prevails
that Brown algo could not be coupten

Of he Upton men, therefore, seemed
to rest in either Moser AZ Mrs. Kinney.
Mrs. Kinney has agreed, so the re-
port has It that she win make the
sixteenth vote for the Eastern Oregon
combination.
should the deadlock hang on much
longer however, the belief is growing
that the Eastern Orcgonians will shift
from Upton to some other senator who
might be able more easily to bring In
new support. Senator Edwards has
