Snf1tner Fa11ow is Wrong.

During the Farmers Institute,
which closed a twe-days' session
at Sheridan last Friday night,
DR.. James Withycombe, in dis
cussing sConservation of Soil
Fertility" " said in part:
"The single-crop system not
only depletes the soil of plant
food, but changes its mechanical
condition, The soil becomes
cempacted, owing to the loss OF
humus. Hurlus has two great
functions-frst 1t keeps the soil
loose, giving it warmth early in
the season, and greater moisture
holding capacity later; second, it
furnishes nitrogen, the most VAL
liable plant-foed element. Our
soils have been robbed of humus
by the oIe-crop system, but re-
storation can be made by the
growing of leguminous crops,
which besides increasing the
amount Of humus, add to the
plant food in the soil by trans
formation OF atmospheric nitro.

The Future of the Valley.

A recent visitor to the Will
lamette valley wrote to his home
paper in Eastern Washington
that he saw no reason why the
towns and cities Of the William.
cite valley should ever be any
larger than they now are. As
they depend upon the farming
community and country is all
settled up he saw no hope for
further growth. This was not
written in an unfriendly spirit,
but the writer failed to grasp the
situation. The value of the
agricultural production of the
Willamette valley will probably
be quadrupled within a genera
tien. Under proper develop
ment this valley with its ada
cent foothills is capable of pro-
ducing in the same year more
butter, eggs and poultry than
are produced in the whole Pacific
Northwest; more wool than is
now grown in all Oregon; more
hops than the total present out
put of the United States; enough
potatoes to feed everybody in
the United States west of the
Rocky Mountains; more 1nohair
than the present production of
the United States, and enough
wheat to supply the home de-
mands of Oregon and Washing
ton, besides a vast quantity of
fruit, hay, oats, onions, garden
vegetables, etc. 1t will preba-
bly, be a long time before the
agricultural and other resources
of the Willamette valley are
fully developed, bat long before
that is accomplished there will
be more than one large city in

Acid Soils.

Prof. A. L. Knisely, chemist
at the o A c Experiment Sta
tien, has just issued a circular
bulletin concerning acid soils
of the state. This bulletin can
be obtained by applying to
the college. The circular
contains directions which will
|enable any farmer to make ex-
periments for himself. Among
Eother important items, the fol-
lowing facts are set forth:
In some sections of the coun-
try crops fail without any appar-
ent cause. Injurious conditions
of the sell Or climate exist and
cause these failures.
1t is with the idea of sitting
out one or more of these in uF-
ious causes or conditions tha,
this circular bulletin is issued.
Recent investigations have
shown that one of the most ira
pertant causes of the failure Of
the clover crop is that the sell
has become sour or acid. Clover
will not thrive on acid soil. The
beet plant is also very sensitive
to aeidity and will not thrive on
sour or acid soil, but when the
facidity Of the soil has been cor.
lrected or done away with then
clover beets, ETC., will thrive
once more.
The potato plant en- the other
hand, seems we'll adapted to acid
sells, and when grown ca sueh
soils the tubers are smoother and
Of better quality than when
grown on soils that are not seur.
The station wishes to deter.
mine the extent of the acidity of
Oregon soils, and, in carrying
cut this Investigation, the intel
ligent farmer can be of great as
sistance to il; in fact he can
make the tests ter acid soils On
his farm and then report the re-
suits to the Experiment Station.

ing plants.
"The summer fallow is expen-
sive, wasteful and entirely wrong
in principle in a humid climate
such as we have in the VILLAIN
cite valley. In semi-a'id re-
gions it is not SO bad, since there
is little loss by teaching. About
five times as much nitrogen is
liberated by the summer fallow
as the following wheat crop can
utilize, When the winter rains
come on, this excess of nitrogen
is leached out of the soil and
carried away by the streams.
The amount of nitrogen which
In this manner has gone down
the Willamette river is probably
equal in value to the total pro-
ductien Of wheat during the
time this crop has been grown in
1.-The Willamette valley.
| "In place of the summer fall
low, the following treatment Is
recommended: Plow early in
|spring, and sow to rape early in
May. Replow and SOW to wheat
early in the fall. The next Feb
Eruary SOW On the fall wheat red
Eelover to the amount of eight
pounds to the acre, with about
| 50 pounds of land plaster.
Allow the clover to stand two
years; then break up and SOW to
fall oats or wheat. 1t is essential
for the best results in the pro.
duetien of clover to sow the
land plaster not later than the
first of April"

1t is just as we'll to be correct
In our statement of facts.
Among recent dispatches was
one stating that the superintend-
ent of the Dubuque division of
the Chicago Great Western Rail-
road Company has Issued an or
der which prohibits the employees
of that road "from entering sa-
looms Or using liquor, whether ON
or off duty, and the penalty fer
violation of this rule is imme-
diate discharge of the offender. p"
Commenting editerially On this
matter, the Oregenian says: "a
railroad exacts and secures total
abstinence in its employees only
SO long as they are on duty. No
railroad company dogs its EN-.
ployes to their hemes to discover
whether they are always total
abstaiuers from wine or beer at
their family dinner or during
their home life"

THEN AND NOW.

The Albany Democrat, in its
usual narrow and bigoted fashion,
is making great ado over the
fact that the judges of the recent
inter collegiate oratorical contest
decided that Minchin was entitled
to the gold medal in that event.
1t says that Sherman Wallace
was entitled to the medal, ere
gardless Of plagiarism, his,
Grafton and delivery being head
and shoulders above Minchin. "
A few years ago similar contest
was held at Albany in which one
A. w. Wright, of that city, was
awarded first honors, and Wallace
took second place. The public
was almost a unit in saying that
Wallace was entitled to the medal
at that time, but if memory
serves US right, the Democrat did
not clamor against the decision of
the judges. Commenting on the
attitude of the Albany papers the
Oregonian says:
considerable agitation is re-
ported from Albany over the dis
covery that Elwood Minchin,
who recently won the state ora
torical contest on behalf of Pa
cifc College, Newberg, had pre-
pared himself for the Grafton on
Wendell Phillips by reading, and
that from at least one book he
had taken ideas and even words.
While plagiarism, Of course, is a
crime of peculiar turpitude, the
defeated colleges that hope now
to take from young Minchin tht
honor they failed to win from
him in open contest run great
risk of making much ado about
nothing. The amount of knowl
edge possessed by 17-year-old
boy on the subject Of Wendell
Phillips, or any of the subject.
custom imposes for collegiate
orations, cannot be extensive o.
profound, and if he has fount
books that helped him and usec
their contents effectively, this fac
itself is not enough to condemn
him as unworthy to wear the Gov
eted honor. Surely it is not ex.
pected that a youth Of his tender
years will bring to history and
economics any great amount ot
new thought or original investi'
cation. There is very little ori.
ginal thinking in this pretentious
world"

 The evolution of this enterprising in- atitute is really phenomenal. From Q small private class of but three pupils, it now carries on it's roll nearly one hundred regular students. It's enormous growth since it's beginning in 1898 ia the result of it's original and succe 'Jful methods of teaching; So that it now justly merits the distinction of being the most thorough and practical irsti- tuition of stenography and typewriting in southern California.
 The institute is divided into two de- partmenta, classified as theoretical combining elementary and primary and practical, or technical and actual business formula. Each class is pre- sided over by able and efficient in- structors. who labor earnestly to make their work of a high order.
 The study rooms are large and airy, sanitary in arrangement, beautifully furnished, and thooughly equipped with all modern appliances, and all have 1 plenty of sunshine. In the inclosed garden at the rear of the school is ont of the largest and finest tennis courts in the city
 The whole building and surroundings combines the refining influences oi l thosa artistic and beautiful features that tend A largely to stimulate both mind and body.
