How to Destroy sassarras Sprouts.

G.R. L.. Chattanooga, Tenn. writes:
I find that in great deal OF my best
soil sassafras sprouts come up and it
is almost impossible to kill them out.
Can you tell me any way to accomplish
this? Is there any certain season or
the year when these sprouts can be cut
so that it will kill the roots and pre-
vent their further growth. have
heard that salt would kill them. but l
fear this would be very tedious ana
expensive method Of getting rid Of the
trouble.
Sassafras sprouts are exceedingly
hard to get rid Of Angora goats when
placed on such lands help to destroy
them. Probably the most feasible
means of getting rid Of them is to plow
the land very deeply so as TO bring
most Of the roots to the surface rs
they do not strike very deeply into
the soil. Then harrow and re-harrow
The ground we'll so as to bring them
to the surface and gather up and burn.
It does not cost any more to 20 about
their destruction in systematic way
than to trifle with them for several
years and still have them in posses
sion Of the soil. If ordinary piowipg
does not cut them off and bring them
to the surface, plow Of the sub-soil
type which will run deeper can be
used. 1t would hardly be feasible to
use salt to destroy them. 1t is much
better and cheaper to plow them but
and burn then.-Professor A. NJ. Sonle,

Butter Making in the soatb.

Some time ago we read in an extract
from letter written by butter ex-
pert. now located in Central Georgia.
the following statement: Il wish to
add emphasis to all you have said, that
those who are making good article OF
butter have a demand for it greater
than they can supply. l came mere as
a dairy expert, to give special atten-
ton to the making Of butter. ind
that am able to make just as good
butter here as at the North, and We
have increased the dairy herd from
fifty to seventy and we intend to in
crease as fast as possible to 800 Dairy
inc as q side issue in the cultivation OF
cotton. in a good rotation. would re-
duce the acreage and largely increase
the profits" What this man says Is
the same thing that We have urged
many a time in this paper. He does
not say it any better than this paper
has said it; but he does say it from the
standpoint of experience and. actual
business practice. If the readers OF
this paper were all ignorant people,
who could not recognize both the need
for change in the general line OF
farming now in vogue in this section
and the wisdom of raising sucn things
as there is home demand Tor. we
should not think it worth willie to in-
sist upon this point. But every intelh-
gent cotton grower certainly knows
that exclusive cotton is not profitable,
and that a change to something ZOE
which there is a good cash demand
at home is the wise thing TO do. All
cannot and will not go to making pQF
ter. But a great many can. and'af
they will make good butter. they can
sell it at a good price for cash. at home.
It will be a good change to try. But
ter-selling is the least exhaustive way
of converting farm products into cash,
and dairy farming is the most certain
way to improve the farm. When the
need for change and improvement is SO
universal and so urgent. it should
surely induce the thinking farmers to
look thoroughly into the proposition.
We believe butter can be made cheaper
in Georgia than in Wisconsin or Iowa.
Then, why import butter from those
States?

AN EpucArloNAL CITY.

All this month Of June has beer
given up to closing exercises Of the
various educational institutions Of oul
city.
No city in the Northwest has such
grand array Of musical. literary and
professional schools as the capital of
Oregon
All of them are supported out of In
diyidual enterprise and demand for
better education Of the young by their
parents.
None of the Salem institutions get
state aid or a dollar of public taxes.
All of them are taxpayers, directly or
indirectly.
The only educational institution this
city supports by public taxation is
the public schools, and that is a good
Investment.
The public schools must do the pre-
paratory work for all the institutions
of higher education, and they cannot
do II too well.
For every dollar spent in the public
schools there are ten dollars brought
TO the city and expended on the high.
er institutions of learning.
Merely from a cold-blooded cash
business standpoint the reputation OF
having the best public schools in the
state is profitable for Salem.
From a moral and Industrial stand.
point the public schools are well
worth supporting, as that point was
well made in the speech Of one of the
girls. who argued that additional years
in the public schools took boys and
girls out Of competition with the wage

Beet Crop Is a Failure.

Word is received from la Grande
that the entire beet crop Of the Grand
Ronde valley is this year a failure
owing to the unusual drouth existing
there. None OF the fine rains which
50 benefited this section of the coun-
try touched the Grande Ronde, and,
as there is little irrigation there in the
beet fields. half of the seed has not
even sprouted. It is understood that

The greater rains that deluge and

them are not known in Western Ore
gon. and our symPathies go out to
other communities that have suffered

The rains will stop now about tho
middle Of the week. and all crops will
grow 70 maturity by leaps and bounds.
The rains have come In the nick OF
time TO save a shortage in the berry
and cherry crop. and the danger OF
drouth, II there ever was any danger
Is now happily past.
All the gardens and small fruits
be benefited. and the fall and spring
grain will be doubled In product as a

In an interesting letter published In

Is OF course. endowed with the rare
sense OF being able TO detect the pres

supplied TO Lord Farrer OF the prac-
tical value OF this accomplishment full
ly corroborate the mass OF testimony
that has been collected from time to

The Inference 10 be drawn from
Lord Farrar's observations is that the
hazel twig usually employed as an in
dex Is by no means a necessary part
OF the dowser's equipment. and that
the sense which warns him OF the
presence OF water is most probably
equivalent TO the instinct that guides
the birds and animals Of the desert to
their drinking places
