SAVE THE SITUATION.

1t is plain that the census people
are to hand Pendleton lemon.
listless work on the part of
some of the enumerators scores of
local residents have been missed. Di-
rect complaints that have come to
the East Oregonian show that the
enumerators, or at least some OF
them. have not tried to do their duty.
Well known business and profession
a! men have been passed up entirely.
Two East Oregonian employees and
their families have not been counted.
It is reported that ten Of the en-
ployes of the wooden mill have been
missed. 1t is doubtful If more than
two thirds of the people of the city
will be counted One of the enumer-
ators complains that the local count
ers are handicapped in that they have
not been properly equipped with sup
plies. They have been unable to OBJ
tain from Supervisor Beach blanks
which have been furnished enumer-
ators in the towns of Washington and
which have greatly facilitated the
work of enumeration in that state.
From appearances the census as far
as Pendleton is concerned is going to
be a first class farce. At least it will
b unless local people take it upon
to remedy the situation.
If you have not been counted by an
enumerator then count yourself. Call
Main ia, the Commercial club, and
give the secretary your name and ad-
dress. Either do that or else fill out
q blank giving your name and address
and mail it to the Secretary of the
Commercial club at once. The secre-
tary will see that you are counted.

OLIVE AND VICINITY.

ANSWER to South Prairie Subscriber.)
Editor Independent:
AS a matter Of fact I don't think
the South Prairie subscriber lives any
nearer to South Prairie than do to
Olive, or else he is agent for this
nutritious food, which he had better
take quite q bit Of it himself. or else
he has been under the influence OF
white lime, as I know a few that do.
Besides, don't think he is any farm
er, he may be some scab blacksmith.
He may he pretty slick, but he won't
slide his season. You speak Of some of
your neighbors getting funny, cute or
gay. l am not some of the neighbors,
but am one alone, and a mnot asham-
ed Of my nae, if you want to sign
your name.
I did not assume that l lived In the
city limits of Olive when put It
in Olive and vicinity. In speaking
about calling neighbors disrespectful
names, the South Prairie subscriber
possibly may be the one that started
the names, but we do not care to call
people neighbors who have to take a.
hike between suns, and furthermore
the quicker such people are out Of
the country the better the neighbor-
hood will be.
This South Prairie subscriber could
not get water on the brain because I
don't think he has got any brains.

FERTILIZER CAN BE
WRONGLY USED.
Should be Used in Connection
With Proper Crop Rotation,
Says Expert.

The amount of fertilizer being
sold in Missouri is rapidly increas-
ing. This is due first to the fact
that the soil has begun to show
the need of it, second to the fact
that the farmers are becoming
more familiar to its use, and third
to the greater activity of fertilizer
manufacturers.
A caution should be given re-
garding the use of fertilizers, how
ever, since it is very common for
men who find fertilizers to pay to
continue their use year after year,
growing grain crops without crop
rotation, manuring, or the growing
of clover. Such a system will ex-
haust the soil Of its humus supply
just as rapidly as if the fertilizer
had not been used, and if contin-
ued will greatly injure the land.
As the hurnus i, burned out by
this excessive grain cropping the
soil becomes more compact, it
loses its friable condition, and it
will require more and more fertili-
ger each year to bring the samere-
turn. The remedy for this diff
Guilty is not necessarily to STOP
using the fertilizer but rather tc
combine with the fertilizer thevery

best system of crop rotation, Of
manuring, and of clover and cow
pea growing that man can prac-
tice. Where this is done and the
land kept up in humus, fertilizers
will not only be very beneficial
and pay excellent net returns, but
they will also be of no harm what
ever to the land. Fertilizers pro-
perly used, therefore, will be of
great value, but where the fertili-
ger alone is depended upon for a
crop and all the other principles of
keeping up fertility are neglected,
the land will be eventuallyinjured.

Shall There Be a Monopoly Of
The Air?

Old Father Time as he flies is
forever hinging from his ample
grip new world interests in the
shape of startling achievements
wrought by mankind, and the lat
est and greatest is the conquest of
the air.
But on the heels of this great
feat come complications. One of
them is just confronting us now,
and Hiram Moe Green in Human
Life for August handles this vi
tally important subject in a way
that cannot fail to interest the
reader
"Above all things else" says the
writer, 1--WE do not want the air
monopolized, There are enough
monopolies now. Aviation in
America lags behind Europe be-
cause of the claims of the Wrights.
There are scores of hundreds of
machinists-many of them living
in the small country Townsville
can build machine as good as
the Wright aeroplane. There are
thousands who are as adventur-
Gus. The money which aviators
make now is from exhibitions.
Those using aeroplanes that in
volve the patents given to the
Wrights must pay percentage OF
what they receive to the Wrights
or the Wright company Other
aviators have been bonded to pay
damages of the Wright patents
are held good in the court
Others have been enjoined by the
courts and prevented from flying
at all. If it had not been for the
injunctions and these bonds, it i!
probable that the contests from
New York to Chicago and to St
Louis would have been held, anC
America would lead the world il
aviation"
But Mr.. Greene does more thar
ably discuss the subject he offer
a solution of the difficulty SO prac
teal and SO eminently fair to tn

they could dispose of their farms

Letters from these ambitious

their fortunes elsewhere. Between
the lines their messages plainly

Yields and other crops, only to
learn by actual experience that
the winters there were eight
months long, the winter days
short and very cold, the roads
snow blocked all of the winter,

fierce blizzard lasting three and
four days a weekly affair, and no
regular postman to bring letters or

After the first wheat crop had
been harvested came the hard task

that the price paid per bushel was
under what farmers had received
in good old Missouri, and that the
nearest best market was England,
