POINTS OUT MISTAKES.
Government Specialist Shows Err
ror in Wheat Growing.

s. L. Kline is ever observant of
hipgs that touch on the welfare of
our section and takes great interest
=, the matter of wheat raising.
Some weeks ago he sent US a clip
ing from a San Francisco paper
hat treated of wheat. We are now
in receipt of another clipping from
Mr.. Kline. 1t will be noticed that
ne government expert and DR..
Witbycombe are very much in
-ympathy on certain vital points.
The article in question is as follows:
Professor Carlton, ceratist of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
addressed body of 200 men at the Mer
''hant's Exchange Hall yesterday after
neon on the subject of cereal culture,
With special reference to the growing OF
wheat.
"The particular problem that we have
on hand now," said he, sis the imrrove-
ment of wheat, and keeping it improved,
which is the more difficult problem of the
TWO. The great trouble with the Cali
f'rnia soil is lack of nitrogen content,
the most essential element to the growth
i wheat. We propose to overcome this
by Inducing the farmers to alternate their
wheat cropL with Canadian field peas or
Dakota vetch, which will increase the
nitrogen element in the soil. Most oi
the farmers in this State grow wheat on
the same soil in aud year out, a process
that would deteriorate any kind of cereal
and more especially wheat.
| Il have found also,'' said the profess.
or, that the farmers of this State are
careless in their methods of harvesting
their wheat. They allow it to remain
standing in the field long after the time
of harvesting has passed, which is anoth
er prime cause OF deterioration. They
also select their seed wheat from tha
which has been threshed, aud naturally
they don't know what they are getting
They should select the seed fom th,
plant ITSELF"
The professor then stated that the ex
periments thus far had s. own the Tur
Key red wheat to be the best, and tina
the department intended to introduce
in California, where experiments woul'
be carried on under the auspices of tn
State Experiment Station.
Professor Shaw of the State Universit
was present at the meeting, and had
number of specimens of wheat shown
the results of various experiments.
The suggestions offered by thes
specialists seemed to be appreciated b
those present, some of whom are anon
the most extensive wheat-gro gers in tn
State.
Professor Carlton announced tha
the department at Washington was goin
to cooperate with the Berkeley static
in building up the standard of the Cali
fornia wheat. and would ren,er all tn
help it could in solving the problems tha
are to be overcome in accomplishing tha
end.

WAS HONEST IN POLITICS.
Mark Twain, stumping for Hawley,
Told Exactly What He Knew Of
the Famous General.

This is the way in which Mark
Twain once introduced Gen. Jo-
seph r. Hawley at a public meet
ing, according to the Hartford
Times: 81 see / am advertised to
introduce the speaker of the even
ing, Gen. Hawley, of Connecticut,
and l see it is the report that |
am to make a political speech.
Now, l must say this is an error.
l wasn't constructed to make
stump speeches, and on that head
politicaD l have only this so
say: First, see that you vote.
Second, see that your neighbor
votes. Lastly, see that yourself
or neighbor don't scratch the
ticket. Gen. Hawley was presi-
dent Of the Continental commits
sion. Was a gallant soldier in
the war. He has been governor
of Connecticut, member of con-
gress, and was president of the
convention that nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln"
Gen. Hawley-That nominated
Grant.
Twain-He says it was Grant,
but l know better. He is mem
ber of my church at Hartford, and
the author of Beautiful snow
Maybe he will deny that. But l
am only here to give him char
acter from his last place. AS a
pure citizen, respect him, as a
personal friend of years l have
the warmest regard for him; as
neighbor whose vegetable gar
den joins mine, why-why, I watch
him. That's nothing; we all do
that with any neighbor. Gen.
Hawley keeps his promises, not
only in private but in public. He
is an editor who believes in
what he writes in his own paper
AS the author of "Beautifu]
Snow" he added a new pang to
winter. He is broad-souled, gen
erous, noble, liberal, alive to his
) moral and religious responsible
tiles. Whenever the contribution
box was passed l never knew hin
to take out a cent. He is a square
true, honest man in politics, an6
1 must say he occupies a might,
, lonesome position.

Resolutions.

Whereas, At the last election
held in this county the vote was
taken upon the question of local
option; and,
Whereas, This county voted
overwhelmingly in favor Of the
prohibition of the sale and usage
of intoxicants as a beverage; and
that such vote was the declared
will Of the legal voters Of this
county, and thereby became a
law which went into effect on the
1st of January last; and, at which
time all saloon men doing busi-
ness in this county closed their
houses Of business, and thereby
placed themselves On record as
law-abiding citizens; and,
Whereas, Since this law be-
came operative there has been
organized a so-called Social and
Athletic Club to defeat the better
interest and purpose Of the local
option law, traffic in this county
in an indirect and underhanded
manner; and,
Whereas, The organization
and continuation of such club is
in effect an effort to cause will
full disregard for law and order,
and make null and void the OBJ
ject and power Of our democratic
franchise and liberty; and,
Whereas, The local option law
has won great favor in this coun-
ty through it's excellent results
thus far, with not a few thus far
who at first opposed it on the
ground of injuring the business
interests Of the county; and,
Whereas, That the local SEN
timent is stronger than ever in
favor of local option; be it
Resolved, First, that the Min
isterial Association of Corvallis

sent to the public press elsewhere
that are misleading to the facts
in the case; therefore, be it
Resolved, Second, that we

GOOD QUALITIES OF SAGE.
Savory and Salutary All the Year
Round and Liked by All, Says
a Londoner.

y
herbs appear originally to have
passed through some preliminary
stage in the laboratory of the med
ical herbalist before being admit
: ted to the full honors of the kitch
en-, writes a Londoner. The fact
is not so strange as it might at
first sight appear, and it's results
have certainly been to the general
advantage Of mankind, for,
though for the most part the old
herbalist's prescriptions were Of
a kind neither to kill nor cure, his
Investigations of the specific
qualities Of plants were often
useful. The ancients seem to have
regarded sage as a herb of first i'm
portance to the physician, and the
many traditions concerning it re-
fer almost entirely to this aspect
of the plant. "Why should man
die who has his sage in his gar
den?" was one of the maxims of
the famous school of health at
Salerno. The belief in it's virtues
survived through the middle
ages and was handed down with
unimpaired vitality to quite mod
ern writer's. The writer's Of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries
were full of it's praises, and there
was hardly an ailment of mind Or
body for which sage was not pro-
nounced a cure or an allevia ton
Thence sprung the idea that, as it
was thus generally wholesome
and recommended by the faculty,
the housewife might prudently
admit a dried winter supply to
her storeroom. And SO this ''sov-
ereign herb gradually found its
way into the kitchen, of which it
has ever since remained an indis-
pensable adjunct. Not that it at
once lost all its medical attri-
butes. "He that would live for
aye must eat sage in May" runs
the proverb. But the cooks soon
began to take broader views.
They pronounced sage to be
equally savory and salutary all
the year round, and of special and
peculiar value at the season of
Michaelmas.
But this is advancing matters.
Even the best of things eatable
have had to overcome prejudice
and slowly make their way; and
in the case of more concomitants
some help from the encouraging
hand of fashion has generally
been necessary. The rather nau-
seus brew known as sage tea was
so common a domesticmedicine to
our forefathers that they could
not at once accept the herb in the
character of savory adjunct.
But we live and learn, and the
merits of sage as a modifer of GER
tain rich .viands began to be ac-
knowledged. It seemed to have a
certain sort of natural affinity
with roast pork, goose and duck,
and presently became the con
slant attendant of these dishes.
! Early in the eighteenth century
an acknowledged authority laid it
down that 'as to geese and ducks,
cooks should stuff them with sage
shred fine, and little pepper and
salt; and the same with a sucking
pig"

A VALUABLE BOOK.

The LITERATURE OF LOUISIANA TERRITORY. By
Alexander Nicholas Menil. (54x8, PIP. 354). st.
Louis. Price S1.50. Sent by mail.
This book is unique in its field. Many are the
histories which have been written of the Louisiana
Territory, but of the vast amount of literature
which is the work of those who live within the great
expanse that came to us through France from Spain
there has been heretofore no collection. The COM
piler has, as he says, "blazed his way through old
bookshops and public and private libraries from
Minnesota to Louisiana, hunted in many virgin
field hitherto UNEMPLOYED, and used the newspaper
reporter sartof Interviewing He has, too, travelled
the old paths and awaited himself of such informa-
ton as could be cleaned from the ordinary sources
OF information and has, besides, devoted consider
able time to the examination of hundreds of books
by authors who have made the territory their home,
and, in addition, has looked over the files of many
newspapers published in the thirtes, forties and
ffties. The result of this labor is work which is
of much value to those who wish information upon
the writer's of the territory and upon the work which
they have done. But the book has yet other fea-
lures OF interest and value; these are selections
from the works of the writer's and lists of their
auctions. About 100 pages of the book are devoted
to Louisiana writer's.
