THEIR CAMPAIGN.
For New Members-Whatt the Plan is
-Woodmen are Chopping.

Corvallis camp, Woodmen of the
World met with the Women of
Woodcraft last Tuesday evening to
meet Geo. K. Rogers, state organi
ger of the w. 0. W., and to listen
to plans of the head consul which
he presented, the object of which is
the bringing up OF the Pacific Coast
branch of the order from $4,000
members and $500. 900 reserve, to
100, 600 members and 81. 900, 900 re-
serve,
Mr.. Rodgers told how the other
78o camps of the Western jurisdic-
ton were entering into the spirit of
the movement and stated that every
camp which he had personally Wis
tied was vigorously falling timber.
Portland" he said with its twelve
camps was receiving over $50 ap-
plications monthly, and the Will
lamette Valley, exclusive of that
city, would take a thousand ap-
p1ications this winter"
The plans which he presented
were heartily endorsed by the
''Neighbors" The camp was div
ided into two working '.timbering
arews." These will be known as
s'Limb-trimmers." under Victor P.
Moses, and Bark -Peelers" under
D. A. Osburn. Corvallis camp
will contribute 25 sslogs'' for the
mills These must all be straight
grained, sound to the heart and
properly peeled and trimmed.
An evidence of the spirit with
which the Corvallis Woodmen will
go about this work is shown by the
action of Neighbors Osburn aad
Moses in taking an application with

Three or four sharp barbed wires
driven tight will easily turn cattle.
Wires of this sort should not be placed
near buildings where horses are liable
to run into them. For such purposes
prefer smooth or woven wire, as it is
much safer. I have several miles of
barbed wire fence, and never had an
accident to any of my stock except
last summer, and in that instance it
was on account of the carelessness of

killed two fine cows which happened

DREAD POTATO BLIGHT.
Agricultural Scientists Should Use
Their Best EndeavOrs to Stamp
Out This Disease.

The potato blight is point that our
scientific investigators ought to work
at until they can help the farmers to
master the conditions. The expert
ment stations do not seem so far to
have done more than explain the ma
ture of the pest. Bordeaux mixture is
recommended; but it must be borne in
mind that Bordeaux is not so much a
remedy as a preventive. So far as we
can get at the subject now, it seems
probable that farmers will be doing the
right thing by spraying their potatoes
all summer-beginning as soon as the
first of July. The loss this year is SIM
ply enormous, striking out the profits
of many farms altogether My own
plan has been to dig up potatoes as
soon as the blight shows on top.
then give thorough drying and store
in dry bins, in well ventilated cellar.
Rot will not develop in the cellar, if
the rooms be thoroughly dry and clean.
have note from potato grower
who says: 81 counted on my potato
crop to settle my mortgage: it is very
dispiriting to have it swept out in a
day." This subject of blight should
be our chief subject to solve.-E. P.
Powell, in N. Y. Tribune Farmer.

PROLIFIC SEED WHEAT.
To Select 1t Is a Far More Critical
Business Than Appears Mt
First Sight.

Most farmers object to seed wheat
that contains small quantities Of some
different varieties; the objection is per-
fectly legitimate though the crop be
as good from such mixed seed as from
pure seed of single variety. The
same rule applies to other grains. Few
men lack system and uniformity to
the extent of altogether ignoring fine
lines of stock and grain; farmer will
succeed best with what he likes best
and with that of which he is most
proud. There is but one way of puri-
flying seed wheat that has become mix
ed with undesirable heads; this method
is picking or selecting heads true to
type and name. But this is a more
critical business than appears at first
thought; not only must the length of
the straw, conformation of the head,
and it's color be closely observed, but
heads thus selected may hide within
the chaff a very different grain; it is
necessary then to resort to experiment
tai hand Smelling to preserve the uni
formity of berry. This to many farm
ers may seem bookish and impractical
BILE, but it is the only method pursued,
and the man who buys pure seed pays
some one else for this special care and
labor. Such work, in addition to the
tangible result, which is very small
start of superior seed, Identifies a man
with his business and gives him an in
sight that casual handling does not
afford. Besides, such procedure is GER
tain in it's results while buying at a
premium is uncertain and may even
result in a worse seed than ones own
mixed product. Another case brought
to our attention was that of an intel
ligent farmer who went through bad.
ly winter killed field of wheat and Sc
lected those stools which had best re-
sisted the unfavorable conditions. BY
this method he claims to have secured
a more hardy stock of seed; this result
seems very plausible. Farmers have
not time to magnify and comprehend
every trifle that comes to their notice,
but it is advisable that they have a
correct appreciation of what constl-
tutes a trifie, and of other seeming try
fies. which really afford the intelligent
approach to their business.-George Z.
Williams, in Epitomist.
