Webfoot Comm erciaI Fertilizers.

The vital question to the planter to-day
is. not how much land can he ii !, but how
much he can draw from the laud. That
farmer is more prosperous who raises on
ten-acre field as much If not more than an
other does on twenty acres. TO accomplish
this a fertilizer must be used. There the
question arises, from the use of what brand
of fertilizers can the best results be oh.
tanned The COMMERCIAL fertilizer, manu-
factured by f. L.. Poisson & Son, is made
especially for use in this state and has
peculiar fitness for our soils. Ncls. II.
Wheeler has beea- appointed sole agent in
Benton county for Poison s. Son and is pre-
pared to till all orders in this line. Results
Of experiments made with these fertilizers
at the agricultural college by Prof George
CUote, are fully set out III letter printed
below:
CORVALLIS, ORE, Aug. IA, 1898.
F. L. Poisson Il Son, Portland, OFTEN
tIemen:-Hcrewith l hand you report of
fertilizers sent to this department during
April last:
On Peas-I applied fertilizer to peas IN
the hill, or row, when sown, before the
seed was covered. The. results were one
half increase above. those of the same va
rietv, sown on the same date, side by side,
also advancing the maturity seven days.
On Corn-Ihis was applied to the hill at
the time of planting, procuring growth OF
the plant at this time 30 per cent. over that
planted without the fertilizer.
On Straw wbe.ries-The fertilizer was ap.
piled to the plants early in the season, just
as growth commenced; applying the fertii-
izer on each side Of the row. 1t increased
the growth of the plant and berries IS per
cent.
On Turnips-T'he fertilizer was sown in
the drill with the seed, on the 7th of July,
Ill the dust or rather, very drv, well pull
ver:zed soil. The results have been good,
producing roots at this date (August 16th)
II inches in circumference and from 2 to
inches in depth.
On Tematoes-For this purpose twelve
varieties were used The results were ex-
growth of the plant from 45 to 80 per cent;
also having the same effect ON the produce
tion of the fruit.
On Pot Plants-Good results. such as
fuchias, geraniums and begonias the effect
was excellent, the foliage becoming very
dark green and strong; also producing a
much larger display of bloom, likewise pro-
longing the blooming season. For top
dressing one heaping teaspoonful to 6 and
s-inch pots was used. Very truly,
GEO. CooTE.
From the above you will notice one great
benefit besides the increase of crop is that
the "Webfoot" advanced the maturity;
that is, the crop is ready for market from
one to two weeks earlier than crops planted
at the same time, but unfertiEzed, except
with barnyard manure.

A Tribute to Bethesda Park.

AS l look upon the ruins of Bethesda
Park the impression is firmly fixed in my
mind that 1--WE are here to day and gone to.
morrow"
On the bleak spot which now marks the
ruins, q short while ago there stood a mag
niticent rustic structure, created through the
ingenuity of mankind and ornamented by
artistic skill. The spacious porches which
surrounded the entire building, gave rest and
recreation to many who awaited themselves
OF the opportunities, while others through
selfish motives may have denied themselves
Of the pleasures which came through this
medium. The model dining room, so highly
ornamented with beauty, the large open fire
place of ancient architecture, with its broad
mantel supporting on either end life like
image OF huge alligator, and the beautiful
contour of snow white swan, are now
things OF the past. In the centre of this
room hung large Japanese umbrella of
many brilliant hues, which as a canopy
shielded the growing palms beneath and
echoed the melodies of harmony which
in the hearts of all lovers of music
Surrounding this beautiful building was
nature in its wild and domestic state. Here
and there, dotting the ground in numerous
places, are rustic designs ef pedestals, baskets
and tubs, with growing plants and ferns,
impartng their fragrance and beauty to all
alike. The towering trees, respondent in
their Autumn dress of tinted leaves, reflect
sadly on the scene which is in their midst.
These recollections are all blended in con-
fusion since the fatality of October Sth,
when, without moments warning, mis-
fortune laid bare and waste the living beau.
ties of the Park. Solitude and destruction
now mark the spot whereon stood grace and
beauty as given us hy the builders Dans-
Dark and gloomy is the vision which looms
up before me as l gaze upon the charred
ruins. Fragments of things that were are
now the sad reminders of an ill-timed fate
the old aud massive fire place alone stands
in mockery to the destruction, and serves az
monument to tell the tale in the days that
are to come.
The loss is keeniy felt by all who appre.
ciated the pleasures OF this natural park, and
hope is entertained that Mr.. John Il. Beall
who owned and planned it, will revive it to
its normal condition and appearance in the
near future. Il. s.
