Something To Laugh At

Next to KISS laugh is the most
popular thing in the world. The sup
ply of kisses is limited, being largely
controlled by a fair but capricious
trust. The supply of laughs, how
ever, is practically unlimited so long
as you don't get too grumpy to look
for them. One reason for the re-
markable success of The Chicago
Record-Herald is it's daily recogni-
ton of the value of kindly, whole
some fun The Alternating Cur
rents" column of S. E Kiser, the
humorlst and poet, is one of the
brightest things in American jour
nalism. There is always a smile or a
good laugh in Ralph Wilder's car
toons, bringing a CHEEKY greeting as
as you pick up the paper each morn
ing.
But it is in The Sunday Record
Herald that one finds the most
chuckles The colored comic section
is full oflaughter for young and old,
and these amusing illustrations are
free from the vulgarity and mis-
chievous suggestions that have
barred so many comic sections from
refined homes. Then there is always
a lot of high-class humor in the Sum
day Magazine of The Record Herald,
led by Sewell Ford's inimitable
Shorty McCabe stories. The delec-
table Shorty and his red-headed
rival, Torchy, have become so pop
ular that one or the other now
appears in funny yarn every Sum-
day throughout the year. So long
as Shorty and Torchy are on deck
there will be something worth living
for. The Record-Herald has the
right idea. Clean humor doubles the
welcome of a good newspaper.

and devoted her entire time to civic
work. She organized the Women's
Civic Improvement league and started
out to clean up Kalamazoo, which sad
ly needed cleaning at that time. Mrs.
Crane offered to take charge of the
street cleaning department. After much
persuasion the city council gave her
charge Of six blocks on Main street
for three months. Mrs. Crane institut.
ed the plan Of white wings" hand
workers and soon had her section Of
the town entirely clean. Moreover she
was saving money on the job. For Z
mazoo had been expending $3.50. Mr..
Crane cleaned the same space for 46
and handed the extra $3.50 back to
the department. Before her three
months had elapsed the city had adopt
ed her plan.
Ihis was Gully the beginning. Mn.
Crane and her Civic Improvement
league next went after Kalamazoo's
food supply. They visited the slaugh-
ter houses, the dairles, the markets,
and the reports they turned In to the
clubs, the churches and the newspa.
pers were so startling that the town
almost lost its appetite. The result
Of the leagues exposures was q law
providing for municipal inspection Of
meat, milk and all market products.
All the public institutions in the vicin-
ity OF Kalamazoo were next brought
under the inspection Of the league.
The almshouse was found to be In a
shocking condition of neglect. The
womep cleaned it up. Other institu-
tions were examined and found lack
Ing. The women supplied their wants.
or, rather, they made the proper au-
thorities supply them.
Having made Kalamazoo into the
"spotless town" of the northwest, Mrs.
Crane continued, by means Of writing
and lecturing, to preach the gospel Of
civic cleanliness and order. Soon dis
tant cities began to send for this pub
lie housekecper to tell them their own
shortcomings.
The most valuable part of Mrs
Cranes work is that 1T has proved in
almost every case permanent. Her Wis
it and inspection are followed by or
ganiZation Of effort to bring about the
changes suggested by her. After her
visit to Kentucky the legislature pass
ed state health laws that were gen.

criticised. A few months after her in
spection Of Nashville they had clean
,,d the public market and laid new
sidewalks throughout the town. Cal

q mining camp into a modern town
wit b parks. good streets and an organ
ized system of public relief.

1t was twelve years before they met

fayorite cousin, was attracted by a
girl in brown, occupying the chair op-
posite his own in the train.
There was something reminiscent
about the waves of russet hair show
ing beneath the smart travelling hat
and his eyes sought a tag swinging
from the handle of a bag over the
girls head, to fall the next moment
with pleased curiosity on the partly
averted face. Then he leaned for

the straight brows were raised in
placid inquiry.

FARM 1N1 ORCHARD
Notes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
Of Oye0on and Wahnoo Specially Pacific Coast Conditions

plant growth this element seems to
aid materially in the building up of
the starches and sugars of the plant.
Potassium may be supplied to the soil
by applications of muriate of potash,
sulfate of potash, or kainite.
Phosphorus is chief component of
the seed and fruit of the plant. A
ton of wheat bran contains about "a
pounds of phosphorus. The nucleus of
every living cell of plants is rich in
phosphorus. This element is taken up
from the soil in the form of salts
called phosphates, but within the
plant it enters into the composition of
complex organic compounds. 1t may
be supplied to the soil in the form of
bone meal or phosphate rock. Dis
solved bone and acid phosphate are
readily soluble forms of phosphorus
obtained by treating bones or rock
phosphate with sulfuric acid and are
used when quick acting phosphate is
desired.
Lime is absolutely essential to the
normal growth and development of all
agricultural plants, but for grain
crops the amounts positively necessary
are not large. Legume plants are
heavy lime feeders. In the form of
carbonate, lime plays an important
part in keeping the soil neutral by
combining with the acids which deyel-
op in the decay Of vegetable matter.
1t is also prerequisite for the proper
bacterial activity of the soil. Heavy
clay soils are made more friable by
lime applications, and on the other
hand, through its cementing action,
sandy soils are rendered more compact
and less leachy. Lime in the form of
carbonate seems to aid materially in
other plant foods in the soil
more available. Land plaster (sul
fate of lime) has the property of rem
dering the potash in the soil more
available, hence the benefit generally
noted on applying this substance to
crops.
Concerning Oregon soils it may be
said that analyses of several hundred
samples from various parts of the
state prove them to be rich generally
from the chemical standpoint. A
table showing the average total nitro
gen and acid soluble plant food con-
tent of our soils is herewith submitted
classifying the results of analyses
made at this station up to 1910 under
three divisions.

Acid Soluble

The soils of Western and Southern
Oregon are generally rich in nitrogen
because of their high content of or
ganic matter which, is due to climatic
conditions favorable to humus forma-
tion. These soils are almost univers-
ally rich in phosphorus. The lime
content of Southern Oregon soils is
usually high while some of the Will
lamette valley soils are apparently de-
ficient in this element. These soils
are in the main quite well supplied
with potash. The semi-arid soils of
Eastern Oregon, on the other hand,
do not have the good supply of humus
and nitrogen of the soils of the West
ern part of the state. This fact is
due undoubtedly to the difference in
climatic conditions. The Eastern soils
are rich in their content of mineral
plant foods.
