be as little as an inch in hundred
feet it is clear that an error of three
inches either up or down in the proper
laying of the tile might cause water to
stand to sufficient depth in the tile
to practically Till one three inches in
diameter, and this would cause the
sitting up of the tile so as in time to
render the section above the error In
laying entirely inefficient.
When the tile has been brought
finally into place great care should be
taken to turn each piece until close
joint is secured ON the top and as far
as possible down the side and TO see
that it lies solidly upon its bed before
any filling is placed over it. Enough
earth should then be added to hold the
tile firmly and prevent their becoming
displaced when the final filling IS done.
1t is important that the filling or all

PRESENT LAW is FAVORED
Oregon Dairymcn Want No Change
in OieOmargarine law.

HUBBARD, Or, Jan. 20.-At the
recent convention of the Oregon
DairSmen's Association at Eugene, a
resolution was adopted favoring the
present leomargarine law and urging
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress to allow no tampering with the
law.
The present law compels the manu-
facturer to pay a tax of 10 cents a
pound if the product is colored in i'm
itation of butter. and 4 cent per
pound if uncolored. The manufactur-
ers of oleomargarine are striving hard
to get the tax reduced to cents per
pound, regardless Of color This would
bring il in almost direct competition
with butter--a thing that the Dairy
mems Association realizes would ruin
their industry.

Orchard and Garden.

The really only successful garden is
the clean garden.
Good fruit and vegetables in clean
attractive packages need no salesman.
If You have any San Jose scale spray
the trees this fall and again next
spring.
1t does not pay to plant crops in the
peach orchard Some people do it, but
it is generally believed to be a bad
practice.
A cOvey of quail in an orchard will
prove good friend to the grower. be,
,ause they eat tremendous number
Of insects.
Carnations intended for winter
blooming should not be allowed to
flower. Pinch of the buds as soon
as they appear.
When doing the tree planting. do NOT
forget to put few trees in a corner
OF the pasture fields if there is such q
thing rs a fensed pasture on the farm.
Protect these for few years and
they will project the stock fvr many
more.

WILL PROTECT ORCHARDS
Rogue River Growers to Fight Frost
With $1,000 FirepOts.

Regarding the frost period in the
Rogue River Valley, and preventive
measures, Professor P. ]. O'Gara, in
an interview published in the Sun, says:
Heretofore there have been a num-
Der of different kinds of tirepots used
by Rogue River Valley orchardists,
but this year the number of different
makes to be used will be cut down to
two or three. There will be about
1000 pots in use.
Preparations will be made to fire
as the orchards begin to bloom. This
will be about the latter part of March
or first of April. Last year several
orchardists fired up to offset a frost
on March 23. Practically no damage
was done, as it was too early to injure
the blooms. The night of April 13 a
frost came. and was met by the or
chardists with fire-pots. This frost
was confined to a few spots on the
floor of the valley The temperature
was 26, though no harmful results fol-
lowed.
Firing has not been practiced in
Rogue Valley for the past three sea-
sons. l introduced the practice here,
and at first many growers looked as
kance at the idea, and few thought
| was forcing a fight to offset a dan
ger that did not exist. Yet all have
now come to realize that it is best to
use fire-pots occasionally, and have
accepted the practice as settled and as
necessary as spraying.
The frost belt in this region the
blossoming period is limited to only
a few spots on the valley floor and is
not the fearful menace it is in some
other fruit districts | could name"
The cost of using fire-pots, stated
Professor o. Cara, was from SO to 81
an acre.

FOR CHANGE IN SALARIES
Plan to PAY County school Supcrin-
tendcnts According TO Duties.

A measure providing for the fixing
of the salaries of all the county school
superintendents in the state was intro
duced in the house of representatives
at Salem, recently, 1t will decrease
no salaries and will increase many.
Every county school superintendent
In the state. under this act. when 1t
becomes law. will receive $1,000 and
in addition thereto 500 for every 1900
children in the county according to
the preceding years school census,
taken by him or his predecessor. No
school superintendent, however, is to
receive salary in excess of $250O,
This law will go into effect June 1,
1911. IL adopted by the Legislature,
as to all superintendents who devote
their entire time to the duties of their
Office, and on January /, 1918, 1t is to
apply to all county superintendents
without discrimination. as all superin-
tendents on and after that date are to
devote themselves exclusively to the
duties OF the Office.
The act specifics that II does not APP
ply if il decreases anybody's salary,
and does not apply in counties having
more than 2OO.O Inhabitants.
As there are 44Oo school children in
Polk County, the passage of the hill
would raise the salary OF the superin-
iendent from $500 to $500 a year
