sect Out and Keep Out"

E. Woodward, county judge Of Benton,
was in Portland last week, accompanied
by his wife and daughter. Corvallis, he
said to an Oregonian reporter, is in the
general procession on the road to pros
perlty, and the dull times of few years
ago are being forgotten. Several churches
have been erected in the town during the
past year, besides number of private
residences. Then the state has erected
a SIG, 900 armory hall on the agricultural
college grounds, and $4,000 mechanic
al hall is now being started. Retail
business is picking up in the Benton
county seat in consequence of the farmers
having sold large proportion Of their
'98 crop of wheat at net price OF so
cents bushel, and goodly attendance
of students at the college, who seem to
be better provided with funds tor cur
rent expenses than during the dull
times.
Money is plentiful all over Benton
county, and the old days of 10 per cent
interest having given place to on the
farm mortgage records at the courthouse.
Benton's financial standing isexcellent
and the county will be out OF debt in
three years, the judge thinks, when
taxes will be materially reduced, as the
present county court think public busi-
ness should be run on the same principle
as that of the successful business man
"Get out of debt, stop paying interest,
and keep out"
Even the new 6 per cent county war
rants of Benton are bringing ~ per
cent premium in the local market, which
is another evidence of the abundance of
money and the faith of the people in the
ability and inclination OF the taxpayers
to pay their debts, regardless OF any
constitutional limitation. $50

An Evening With Burns

There were probably tens of thousands
of assemb!ages and coteries OF mtn
speaking the English tongue, held on the
25th of January; and surely no place
more fitting could be found than tie
vicinity of the school devoted to teach
ing men engaged in agriculture the
truths science is discovering in aid of
practical agriculture and horticulture.
What was fitting was accomplished by
the assembling of a small body of adj
mirers OF the gifted plowman, in this
city on the evening in question, and the
proceedings were ithout formality. 1t
was conversational rather than declam-
atory. Hon. John Ninto of Salem was
depended upon to answer questions rela-
tive to the poets influence upon his own
and succeeding generations. He answer
ed that in his judgment Burns had been
more potent influence for human ad-
vanCement since the second edition of
his poems was published, than all other
British poets entering within the same
period. This was deemed strong claim
E. Yates. The position was supported,
however, by the claim (not denied) that
all over the English speaking world
where human requirements were making
advance against natural obstacles, North
British names are predominant in the
| front OF the bsttle. These workers were
more than doubled BY the large proper
| ton of the most energetic business men
in our cities, either directly effected by
Burns writing, or by Inheritance from
their fathers. There was much and
pleasant play of questions and answers
interlarded by quotations showing the
love of liberty, freedom of thought, love
of justice and humanity which led the
poet to predict that in lieu of titled
aristocracy ruling by prescription the
time is looming Yet for a. that, and a.
| that" when "Sense and worth through
a. the earth shall bear the gree and a.
that" That the closing lines of the
song, composed without love or war as a
theme, "Let us pray that come it may,
as come it will for a. that, that man to
! man the world o'er shall brothers be and
a that" was in progress of realization
when a nation of seventy millions of
untitled people would go to war for hu-
manity's sake, and by sharp
contest bring twelve or more millions of
the human family from an oppressed
condition, within the reach of their own
measure of freedom

Future of Oregon Apple.

Among the many excellent papers
read at the recent meeting of the
State Horticultural Society, was
one on "The Future of the Oregon
Apple" by Hon. H. B. Miller, Of
Eugene. In her early history
Oregon was known as the Land of
Big Red Apples" and no section of
the country is capable of producing
a better quality of this fruit than
can Oregon. Neglect has lowered
the standard of this product, but
interest in the raising of apples has
been revived and a few years will
again see this the banner state OF
the union. Much will be found in
Mr.. Miller's remarks to interes,
orchardists:
EVERY agricultural product re.
quires a careful examination OF
three fundamentals-market, soil
and climate.
"Markets-Of these three the
Oregon apple.grower is seriously
handicapped in the matter o
markets. There is no apple section
of the United States or Canada
where the cost Of getting 10 market
is as great as from Oregon. The
great apple-consuming population
of the country is much nearer Mich
igan, New York, Kansas, Missouri
New Mexico and Colorado than W.
are, and even Washington ane
Idaho, for some reason, secure muc
better rates to the Eastern markets
than Western Oregon, and in a |.
dition to that, have q fair market
in the mining districts surrounding
them. The greatest objection t.

available phosphoric acid. 10 per
cent. actual potash and 3 per cent.
nitrogen, and even a larger supply
of potash can sometimes be used to
advantage. ~
This potash can best be used as
a muriate or a sulfate-the former
is little cheaper and the latter for
chemical reasons is little the
hetter-but either will answer. In
either the muriate or sulfate here
is about so per cent. of actual
potash, while in kainit there is but
124 per cent, hence there is a saw:
ing in freight and handling in
using the concentrated forms. In
speaking of these forms of potash,
it is not always quite clear as to
the precise meaning Of the terms
and wherein the difference lies.
For this reason a few words may
here not be out of pace.
Potassium, which furnishes the
bases of all these salts, is rarely
seen outside of the chemical lahora-
tory. 1t is soft, waxy metal and
lighter than water. In the forms
above mentioned the murlate of
potash is a CO.. pound of muriate
(hydrochloric) acid with the me-
tallic potassium, in which the
chlor;n of the acid is che nically
united with the metal.
In the case of the sulphate, sui
furic acid is the negative substance
combined with the metal. In this
the sulphur and the oxygen of the
acid are chemically united with the
metallic potassium.

OUR DESERTS.

The bill to re-apportion this state
into senatorial distri IT'S has passed
both house and senate and is now
awaiting the signature Of the gov
ernor to become a law.
The bill provides that the ratio
of apportionment shall be one sena-
tor for 5ery 1908 of white popu-
lation, or fraction thereof exceeding
one-half in each senatorial district;
and the ratio for representative
shall be one for every GOAL of white
population, or fraction thereof, ex-
ceeding one-half in each representa-
tive district. ..,
Benton county has population
of near 1900. This is scarcely
enough to give her senator, but
so far in excess of the GOAL re-
quired for representative that in
the re.apportionment she is given
one senator and a representative.
This county will be known as the
10th senatorial district and the 10th
representative district.
Lincoln county, which heretofore
has held a joint senator with Ben
ton, under the new bill will have
a senator jointly with Tillamt ok
and Yamhill. This practically di-
vorces Benton and Lincoln counties,
and makes still more improbable
the belief prevalent with some that
the early future will see them con-
soil lated.
The house, which passed the bill
by bare majority, is protesting
the signing of it by the governor
and demand that it. be returned for
reconsideration by that body
Speaker Carter, however, has ruled
that, having passed the senate, the
bill is now beyond the jurisdiction
of the house
This persistent attempt to defeat
the measure was to be expected, as
it would be impossible to form 6
bill of this kind to suit everybody
and a reduction of the representa-
+, ton of any distr ct means a stub
born fight from It's representatives
against it.
Benton county has faired better
than the majority of her sister
counties, but she deserved is. Evel
since the division of this county we
have been entitled to greater
voice in the legislature, and the
present bill is tardy recognition o
this fact.

land market at present is not a red

And if there is any improvement
to be made in the apple, it is we'll
to know along what lines this inn
prevement should be made in order
that it be permanent and profitable.
"We believe this score card is
much defective when it comes to a
profitable fruit, as we have noticed
in the Portland and other markets
that color should be given by far
the greatest markings. A nice, red
apple is a seller. Keeping quality
come next, then flavor and size.
In its season, there is nothing that
can beat the Spitzenberg, but have
you soil that will raise this apple?
1t does not thrive well in all To-
calities. The Northern Spy is al
ways a standard, but you must
know your soil or your crop is
liable to be so small in numbers
that it will hasdly pay for gather
ing. One apple which is one of the
greatest sellers and longest Keepers
lacks in most of the other necessary
requisites of the score card, but it
sells, and that is what you want.
This is the Ben Davis, which grows
almost anywhere. You can all
