How To Apply The Fertilizer
After The Soil Has Been
Thoroughly euIver-
ICED.

In the absence Of machine, ap-
ply the fertilizer as followss
Mark out the rows or bed up,
and distribute the fertilizer in
rows. Follow after with a bull
tongue or scooter shallowly to mix
the fertilizer thoroughly with the
soil.
Bedding up land is precaution
against a heavy rainfall after
planting. In sections where there
is no danger from excessive mois@
ture, fat planting is preferred, and
in some cases it may be necessary
to plant few inches below the
surface. Seeds must have mois-
ture, but they must be kept out
of standing water in the soil.
The fertilizer should be distri-
buted several days before planting
as there is danger of iniuring the
seed if brought in immediate con-
tact with strong fertilizer. A very
careful mixing of the fertilizer
with the soil is necessary for the
same reason. On all except very
rich waxy lands, it will pay to use
commercial fertilizers somewhat
literally.
Where as much as 400 pounds
of fertilizer is used for corn we
recommend two applications, one
in the furrow before planting and
an application of from $50 to 200
pounds of cottoo-seed meal in the
furrow when the corn is about
foot high.
Where lime is used scatter it
broadcast when the land is plowed,
using about 4 barrels of air.slaked
lime per acre, or apply in the row
about 2 barrels per acre q short
time before planting, mixing it
thoroughly with the soil.

OREGON FARMERS

DIR. James Withycombe, director of

compared with the population Of the
state, which is estimated to be in the
neipbhorhood of about 725, 600.

SPITZENBURGS WIN
IN Big CLUB CONTEST

The Spitzenburgs, headed by their
valiant captain, Ernest G. Smith, were
the victors in the Commercial Club
contest for new members which closed
Friday, September 30, getting ITO new
members for the Club to 40 members
secured by the Newtowns. The con-
test was a success in every respect,
netting $50 new members to the club,
the memberhip of which is now very
near the 500 mark, since there were
already over 300 members at the open
ing of the contest. The members of
both teams worked very hard in their
efforts to gain new boosters, with ex-
cellent results.
Although the Spitzenburgs seemed
to outclass their rivals the Newtowns

these prices lies in the fact that the
orchards will return handsome divi-
dends on the prices paid. So long as
buyers from all parts of the world
come to Oregon for fruit and continue
to pay record iprices for it in carload
and trainIoads lots. there will be no
decline from present prices. Mean
while there has been healthy advance
in all other lands in this favored
region. There is room for other ad-
vances before the figures will be as
high proportionate to the returns as
they are in less favored sections of the
country. 0regonian Editorial.

DECKHANDS STRIKE
OFFICERS DO WORK

With Captain Short and other
officers taking turns at discharging the
duties of deckhands, the steamer j.
N. Teal arrived from the Big Eddy,
on the upper Columbia, considerably
late Thursday night. At the other END
of the line the Is deckhands went on
strike and were paid off. Without any
attempt to fill their positions the
officers of the steamer decided to bring
her to Portland, which they managed
to accomplish lby performing all
classes of river labor.
On her arrival at Portland new
crew was employed for the Teal and
she left for the Upper Columbia on
Friday morning. When she reached
the Big Eddy Wednesday evening her
Is deckhands demanded additional pay
for night work. The company was
anxious to discharge her cargo that
night and get her ready to leave for
Portland on the return trip the follow
ing morning, but the officers refused
an extra days pay, as the steamer
carried two crews of deckhands and 1T
was held that the night shift was
supposed to work, without receiving
additional wages.
Finally the Is were paid the wages
due them and discharged. Then the
officers stripped their coats the begar
to discharge the freight. After labor
ing all night they got the steamer ii
shape to leave for the Rose City. Or
the trip down they were obliged tt
continue to look after the deckhanC
work and they were pretty well fagget
out when the passage was completed
But it is announced that they had tn
satisfaction of knowing that the l

Eddy had to walk to The Dalles, tn
nearest town, some six miles dow
the river from where they had gon

Summit RancherS Bottled.

Paul W. Fuchs, rancher near Sum-

Buck for breaking down fence along
the right of way of the Mt. Hood rail
road in order to reach his home. The
case was the result of controversy of
several months between the railroad
and the settlers on the hill south west
of Summit. When the railroad was
built several years ago the old road to
that locality was partly destroyed and
the settlers had outlet over the land
now owned by Ed. H. Wheeler. Mr..

PIE SAINT TRIP TO INFIRMARY
Jolly Crowd from Gobleville Spent
Day with MIR. and Mrs. Slower at
County Infirmary.

Feb. II was Unexpectedly made a
gala day at the county intirmary when
fourtee old friends and neighbors of
Supt. Slower and wife drove in from
Gobeville and vicinity. The day was
cold. so when we arrived all nature with
in seemed to vie for supremacy Ia gifts
of warmth. A hot dinner was the first
number and we must confess that uu
known capacities seemed to thaw out
but there was an abundance and we
were dined royalty.
After dinner our host and hostess
guided us through the barns where we
found all things in perfect order. The
laundry was of special interest. We
saw the inmates at their tables and in
the halls respectively and their quiet
behavior and our silent interest bespoke
the mutual sympathy between us. The
inmates are clean and orderly and obey
the quiet commands more through love
and respect tran from fear. The courte-
Gus attention of the help can not be
forgotten and we feel that their gener-
Gus conduct added much to our enjoy
school and proved himself a loyal son,
helpful and untiring in his efforts to
help entertain us.
The occasion was made doubly happy,
il being the Goth anniversars OF our
host and wife. A poem Of unusual
strength and feeling was written for the
occasion by Mrs. May Hyams, al old
friend and was enjoyed by all. The
bride and groom received many valua-
BILE presents from their friends and
water set OF cut glass presented to them
to be a mute reminder of our love and
gratitude.

ing that we have grand institution

managed by efficient and firm people

with love and sympathy.

WHAT DO YOU THINK or THIS?
Local Cattle Fancier Suspicioned That
His Mulley Cattle Were Affected
With HoIIowhorn.

L. X. Woodman is quite a fancier Of
"blooded" cattle and is the owner of
several fine head of valuable bovines.
Last week he was considerably con-

animals as some of them appeared to
be ill, Lew suspected that the dis
ease might be what is commonly known
as "hollowhorn" and consulted a veteri
nary in regard to their symptoms. He
told the veterinary how they appeared
to be affected, and stated that in his
opinion it was "hollowhorn." The vet.
erinary then asked Lew in which horn
the trouble seemed to be, and you can
imagine his surprise when Lew replied.
(which hornY Why man, they haven't
any horns, they are all mulleys."
Lew, by the way, is a graduate OF the
state agricultural college, but in all
fairness to him it should be stated that
he graduated several years ago, before
the department Of "Mullyiology" and
treatment of "hollowhorn" was made a
part of the M. A., g. curriculum.

SOUTHERN MICHIGAN IS SUED
L. B. Jackson Sues for Rebate Which
Southern Michigan Refuses
IN Paw

The case OF T. Is. jackson vs.. the
Southern Michigan Fruit Association
was tried in Justice Mason's court last
Wednesday.
This was case in which the Southern
Michigan refused to take the grapes of
MIR jackson on account of not having
cars in which to ship
Mr.. Jackson began shipping With w.
G. WiIdey, who at that time had plenty
of cars, and continued shipping with
him the balance of the season.
The Southern Michigan refused to pay
a rebate TO Mr. Jackson, claiming that
by shipping with another company he
forfeited his rights to the rebate.
The contention of plaintiff was that
the bylaws of the association say moth.
ing about a shipper forfeting his rebate
by shipping with another company. He
also claims that he was justified In ship
ping with Wildey on account of the
Southern Michigan not being able to
ship.
The case occupied nearly the entire
day and resulted in a verdict for Mr..
jackson, giving him 500. SO, the amount
asked for.
Fhe case will probably be appealed
A. Lynn Free represented Mr.. jackson
and l.. A. Tabor looked after the inter
ests of the association.
The outcome of the case is being
watched with much interest, as there
are several other shippers who have not
as yet received their rebates.
