 cause the water to approach the ori- 

 fice very slowly. 



The depth of water or head may be 

 measured by means of carpenters' 

 rules or by specially constructed 

 scales like those already suggested for 

 weirs. One scale should be placed on 

 the upstream side of the orifice and 

 one on the downstream side with the 

 zero end of each scale at the same 

 level near the top of the structure.

Nut Growers Have Good Meeting 



The annual meeting of the Western 

 Walnut Association, held in Portland, 

 November 12 and 13, was attended by 

 a large number of nut growers from 

 Oregon and Washington. There was 

 a very attractive exhibit of filberts 

 and walnuts, and the program was an 

 interesting one. For the fifth time J. 

 C. Cooper, of McMinnville, was elected 

 president of the association. The 

 other officers for the ensuing year 

 are: A. H. Henneman, of Portland, 

 vice-president for Oregon; A. A. 

 Quarnberg, of Vancouver, vice-presi- 

 dent for Washington, and A. J. Harris, 

 of Portland, secretary-treasurer. Mr. 

 Harris succeeds Knight Pearcy, who 

 has been secretary of the organization 

 for several years, and declined to 

 again serve in this capacity. 



The winners of the $100 cash prizes 

 offered by M. McDonald, president of 

 the Oregon Nursery company, for the 

 best nuts from seedling trees for two 

 years were John Spurgeon, Vancouver, 

 Wash.; Henry Sexton, The Dalles, Ore- 

 gon; T. H. Brooks, Silverton, Oregon; 

 E. J. Stewart, McMinnville, Oregon, 

 and R. E. Brown, Vancouver, Wash.

Last Big Block of the Canadian Pacific 



Reserved Farm Lands 



THIS announces the offering of the last big 

 block of the Canadian Pacific Reserved Farm 

 Lands. Until this block is disposed of you can secure at low 

 cost a farm home in Western Canada that will make you rich and 

 independent. The country is ideal for mixed farming as well as grain 

 growing. Later, the same lands can be bought only from private 

 owners — and naturally, prices will be higher. Never again on the 

 North American Continent will farm lands be offered at prices so low.
