Composition OF Soils,

Missouri Station Bulletin: The soil
is a mixture of fine and coarse material
mixed with a greater or smaller
amount of organic humus-like sub
stance, holding a variable but large
quantity of moisture in it's composition.
The percentage of this organic mat
ter is usually low, amounting in our
soils rarely to more than ten in a hum
dred, being more frequently only four
to five. The water reaches higher
figure, and though Is per cent Of it in
soil will support ripening crop,
double the amount is preferable in the
early season and more for limited
time advantageous rather than other
wise. The nitrogen, through the ac-
emulation of ages, is but a fraction of
ition of our soils during the summer
season as follows:
per cent organic matter.
OIL per cent nitrogen.
20 per cent water.
1853 per cent mineral matter.
The mineral matter is the matter
derived from the rocks that orig
mated the soil modified, as suggested,
by the action of weather and the
growth of plants. 1t consists of par
ticles of quartz sand, feldspar, mica,
and variety of mineral species, cas-
lily recognized under the microscope,
and, in addition, of clay, soluble sill
lea, simple and double hydrous sill
Gates, the result Of the alteration Of
soil and the addition to it of the ash
constituents of the plants that grew
upon 1t. These latter. the hydrous
double silicates. are of the utmost i'm
portance to the fertility of a soil as in
them really resides the power of hold
ing and storing up for future use the
substances for the lack of which a soil
Is wholly sterile. In all discussions
Of agricultural problems relating to
mineral fertilizers but three sub
stances need to be considered, potash,
phosphoric acid and available nitrogen.
The large quantities of potash and
phosphoric acid in our soils are there
fore Of value; but insoluble at present
to large extent their value is n.y.
pothecated to the future. BY their
gradual conversion through atmos-
pheric and other agencies of insoluble
into soluble compounds they furnish
a steady though limited supply Of plant
food for a moderate crop, but the de-
mands Of modern agriculture for large
and salable annual harvests sufficient
to yield satisfactory return over and
above their cost of production is not
responded to. True, improved meth
DDS of cultivation will insure better
returns, but only up to a certain point
beyond which artificial, i. e., mineral
fertilizers, become a necessity. The
readily available plant food, the ac-
emulation of centuries, has been
CLEANED by our forefathers of their
fertile acres; to us the choice is left of
having time unlock similar treasures
yet in our soil and in the meantime
quit harvesting, or to supply the de-
ficiencies by becoming buyers with the
certainty of becoming to much larger
extent sellers of our products,

Up-Rooting Alders.-The common
sweet alder often becomes a nuisance.
as its seeds are left by birds in the
corners of old rail fences, where
clump of them will soon grow, 1t is
not difficult shrub to uproot and de-
stroy, as its roots, like its top growth,
is very soft, and easily cut. All that is
necessary is to dig up the side of the
clump next to the fence, and then hitch
span of horses to chain bound tight
ly around the bush, close to the ground.
AS the horses pull, the roots will come
into view, and can be cut off with even
q dull axe, as the strain on the roots
will make them easily severed. It is
only the work Of two or three hours for
two men and one team to destroy a
large clump. If the fence can be taken
down and the ground plowed and new
ly seeded, fine turf will be a year
hence in the space now occupied by
worthless alders.-Ex.

Isl I +. i . u
At an enthusiastic meeting last night,
the congregation OF Second Presbytcr-
ian church decided to celebrate the
church's flftieth anniversary this year
with an appropriate celebration. The
movement In this direction followed the
organization last night OF a church I'M
provement society, having for Its object

ter. ~
Treasurer-James b. Mckee.
Executive committee-Mlss Agnes
Wilson. Miss Mary Mckee and Messrs.
w. II. Klieves. A. P. Hupp. W. r. Dud-
ley, T. C. Mof(at and W. W. irwin.
Following the! election OF officers, dis
cusslon ensued OH the plans for cele-
brat!ng the church's semi-centennial.
Rev. Joseph Speers. the pastor, Mr..
Handlan. Mr.. Dudley and others spoke
briefly. and 1t was agreed that the celc-
bratIon would be beneficial In many re-
spects. It will take place, May ~, thus

Political Chit Chat.

Despite the assurances of the Lincoln
County Leader, there is very little pros
poets for fusion between populists and
democrats. Democrats want to de the
hog act and the pops want to have a
large voice in the matter. What effect
this will have on the joint Legislative
ticket remains to be seen.
Polk county ropulis,s have nominated
Il straight populist ticket and sent anti
flu -ieH delegates to the state convention.
Lane county populist clubs are deuounc-
ing fusion as a scheme to kill the popu-
list party.
The suggestion made that the big DEM
ocratic majority at Wells be recognized
by nominating Jack Hall for sheriff,
seems to find favor with nany democrats.
Mr.. Hall is one of the best democratic
workers il the county. but when it comes
t, offices his precinct i: generally ig-
nored. Ira Hunter is another man who
has great many friends i'll the county.
According to reports the demScra i'll
Benton are willing to give the populists
everything '.ut clerk and sheriff, these
nominees TO be the present officials. Tie
democrats, however, expect to take a
hand in selecting the populist candidates.
Philomath will have a caxdidate for
school superintendent in Mr.. Brown.
NJ Maior Bruce is mentioned as the prob
able candidate for county judge, al
though a. J.. McFadden is the populists'
choice. A. L. Clark is the essayist and
pliamlctteer of the free silver forces and
would doubtless figure as prettily as a
candidate as he does private. With
John Desmond Starr il the field for rep
resentative it will be difficult to give
John Henry anything beiitliEg his inn
psrtance.
Iu any combination that will be made
it can safely be said that the democratic
candidates will get more votes than their
populist co-runners on the ticket. A
great many democrats have already ex-
pressed their intention OF ignoring any
populistst on the ticket.
The republican situation improves
daily. The republican voter is demand
ing that everything be open and above
board and that clean winning ticket be
nominated.

Corvallis Candidate Ahead.

Little May Hurt, eleven years old,
leads her friendly rivals IN the contest
for the prize offered by the Young Sol
dier, the children's paper of the Saliva.
ton Army.
The last weeks issue credited her with
this sale of I,4I4 copies, her nearest conf
petitor, an Ohio girl, selling I412. But
Oregon is SO far away from headquarters
that Mays reports are one week behind,
and on even weeks would be 5I2 ahead.
This is the last week of the contest and
LEGAL pride will cause Mays sales to
boom. Besides helping an enterprising
little glrl it is not bad ad for Corvallis.
