ADVISED
A Salem Woman Wants Prac'
tical School Work

Editor Journal AS a patron of the
Salem schools, | hope some good may
come from having hired a city super
intendent, and would like to suggest
something that he could turn his
waste time to. | refer to the condition
of the school grounds at our respective
school houses. They are a disgrace
in most instances, but | believe this
could be remedied, and the grounds
made very attractive, and that with
out any expense. The superintendent
could plan to improve the grounds
and on fixed days have some of the
older pupils come with tools and say
spend half a day each week to fixing
things up They could level up or
grade beds for shrubs of flowers, and
plant them without any expense to
anybody, and | would have my boys
and girls learn how to do something
of that kind than to learn some of the
monkey-shines that are taught In some
school books. This would break the
monotony of the routine work, and in
spire the young folks to take a pride
in their surroundings and to do some.
thing that would not only be a practi-
cal education to them, but prove a
direct benefit to every taxpayer. A
respectable potato patch would prove
a thing Of beauty compared with some
of our school yards, and 1t wouldn't
hurt some of the scholars to learn
how to tend a potato patch Why not
appoint one afternoon week during
good weather for such work, and have
all the principals and teachers join in
on an intelligent plan to do some
thing for the school grounds? This
wouldn't cost anything, and might
prove healthful diversion for all
concerned. A WOMAN VOTER.

So many people, old and young, are

of having II cured was something long
sought for and surgical science has
been at fault until very recently. Or.

now able TO accomplish IL, absolutely
without pain or detention from busi,
ness, so the cure is permanent and
lasting. As proof of this assertion

Our Weekly
Crop Bulletin

The u. s. department of agriculture
climate and crops bulletin, of the
weather bureau, Oregon section, for
the week ending Monday reports as
follows:
The past week has been phenomen-
ally cold and wet. Heavy rains have
fallen in all sections of the state, and
the day temperatures averaged from
10 to IS degrees below the normal in
western sections. and from 1S TO 22
below the normal in the eastern sec
tions. Strong winds prevailed for sew
e,al days in the Columbia valley, and
light frosts were reported Monday
morning, in the extreme eastern por-
tion of the state.
The maximum, or day tempera-
lures, during the week, in Western
Oregon, ranged between Ga and 6S de-
grees, and the minimum, or night tenn
peratures. between Al and So degrees.
In Eastern Oregon the maximum tenn
peratures ranged between 80 and 76
degrees, and the minimum tempera-
lures between SS and SO degrees.
The damage by the rains consisted
in lodging a great deal of fall wheat,
principally in the Willamette valley
and in portions of the Umatilla wheat
regions; some standing hay was also
lodged, and large amount of cut hay
has been injured. With favorable
weather this week much of the lodged
grain and grass will come up again,
and considerable cut hay will be saved
in fair condition. The rains have in
jured ripe cherries by causing them to
burst and mold, and a second crop of
weeds has started on summer-fallowed
land, which will necessltate a second
cultivation. The grain harvest will
also be delayed about a week, on-ac-
count of the cool weather.
The rains have been of vast benefit
to spring grain, reseeded fields of
wheat, potatoes, corn, gardens pas
lures, and all late crops, In the Grand
Ronde valley and in Southern Oregon
they have been especially beneficial
as the proceeding droughty conditions
were beginning to cause alarm, and
spring wheat that II was thought
would have TO be cut for hay will now
make a heavy crop. Wheat is filling
nicely, but in Umatilla county much
smut is reported.
Hops, corn and gardens are thrifty.
but backward, and need bright, sun
shiny weather The outlook is favor
able for a good crop of apples. The
condition of prunes remains un-
changed, and from half to a third of
a crop is all that is expected. Peaches
are doing well, and an average crop or
better will probably be harvested in
Southern Oregon.

Currency in Manila.

China and Mexico are not alone in
exhibits of the evil Of fuctuating cur
rency, for Manila itself offers a strik-
Ing refutation of the theory Of per.
petuating the silver basis there. An
American business man who has Just
returned from that city gives an illus.
tration of the way the thing works.
American dollars are worth at pres
ent in trade $2.40, but if one wishes
te buy American currency with Mexi-
can, he must pay the bank $2.45 or
$3.50. Besides this the commission
which represents the United States
has determined that the price of Amer
can money should be 1927 in Mexican.
The commission changes its valuation
from time to time, but 1t cannot change
as often as the price of silver changes.
An American merchant in Manila sells
bill of goods for $1,000 American.
When the goods are delivered the
buyer pays $2,270, because that is the
official circulation of $1,000 in gold.
But when the merchant tries to turn
his $2,270 back into United States
money the banks charge him $2.40
Mexican per American dollar, or more,
and the merchants lose $130 or over
on this transaction in exchange.

Handling q Kicker.

"A writer in the National Stockman
gives this method Of handling a kick
ing horse: Put on him a strong surcin.
gle and crupper. Have one ring where
the check hook comes and one eight
inches lower on the right side. Now
run strap from the lower ring to the
crnpper about where the hip strap
passes through. Now take five.
eighths inch rope fifteen feet long.
fasten it to the ring at the check and
then hook through the ring in the hal.
ter and back through the lower ring in
the surcingle. Strap up his left fore
foot. This should be done in a straw
yard. Now you have him ready. Take
your rope and go ahead of him a few
feet, little to the right, and begin to
pull. Hold him steady and let him
fight this hard, but keep drawing his
head to his side and he will go down
to the ground. Now you have him
where you want him. Keep him there

Breeds of Sheen COMPARED,

The Cotswold sheep possesses large
frame and long fleece, but it is not
suitable for farmers where the pas
lures are not of the best quality. The
Merinos, when used for crossing, do
not increase in size. although the grade
of wool is better. The Southdown is
best for use on common focks, as it
is bred for mutton in preference to
wool, and, being hardy and active, the
cross is less violent than those between
the Cotswolds and our small natives.
The wool from the Southdowns is not
inferior, being classed with the middle
grades, nor is it deficient in quantity
as compared with common stock, but
much above the average. Their excel.
lence is in the superiority of the NUT
ton, and in that respect they have no
superiors.
