The Useful willows.

For general purpose, all around,
useful tree the willows have more mer-
1t by far than they are given credit
for having. Their Dense tough growth
especially fits them for wind breaks;
their tenacious roots serve well to hold
the soil on banks of rivers, canals,
bitches and railway entertainments; the
wood is light, tough and elastic and
serves for many purposes about the
farm for which that of no other tree
will answer so well. The wood of
some species is highly esteemed for
turnery, cooperage, bats, in carriage
making, handles for tools, etc. Osier
willows are grown for basket making
and tying purposes Some species
make fine specimens for lawn and fol
roadside planting. As class Of trees
for general planting they need much
more attention than they have had OF
are now getting, and several Of the
American willows are well worth
planting, according to Professor He'd
rick Of Utah.
A heavy corn crop is expected in Ne

Gypsum For Oregon Soils.

"ypSu" TOT OTeSOn SOllSs
There is probably no place in the
United States where gypsum could be
used to greater advantage with a lib
eral hand than on the soils Of Oregon
provided the material could be obtain
ed at anything like reasonable fig
ure.
Its principal effect seems to be its
power to set potash free from it's in
soluble compounds, making them avail
able. Storer. AN authority, says, 1T
is often of great use in regions where
wheat is grown in alienation with
clover, since by encouraging the
growth of clover it acts as a manure
for wheat"
On the soils Of western Oregon it
could be used to much advantage on
account Of the tendency Of this soil to
be weak in available potash. 1t would
also serve to improve their physical
condition by the particles thus making
the soils more porous. In eastern Ore
gon it would be of high utility as a cor
receive for the hated black alkai. In
western Oregon it should be sown In
the very early spring at the rate Of
100 to 100 pounds to the acre, prefera-
bly, to encourage the growth of clover,
the yield of which it not infrequently
increases so per cent. AS corrective
for the black alkaI in eastern Oregon
it would have to be used in much lar
ger quantities, probably not less than
one ton per acre, this depending some
what upon the amount Of alkali pres

entire country now averages nearly
100000 cases of "a cans each, and the
area required to supply the canneries
is estimated to exceed 100000 acres.
According to Professor F. William
Rane of New Hampshire, although
factories are increasing, nevertheless
the prices for canned tomatoes are
higher at present than for number of
years. The catchup making industry
is continually increasing, and yet the
demand equals the supply. Even green
fruit is in fair demand in the fall of
the year. Professor Rane has recently
reported some tests of the newer intro
auctions as well as Of others of early
maturing quality.
Among the varieties illustrated Pro-
fessor Rane cOmmends in somewhat
special manner:
SO. Matchless. Fine, large, round,
