California BLACK walnuts Good.

Concerning the best stock on which
to graft, we will yet be obliged to do
considerable experimenting. We can
state, however. that at our expert
ment station at the college at Cor
Wallis, we have been much pleased
with the California Black.
I'VE have been very successful in
sprouting the seeds in the following
manner At this season of the year,
or a very little later, we have placed
some boards at the south side of a
building, pom these spread an inch
or two of moist sand, and then spread
out the nuts. They car be covered
either with the moist sand, burlap, or
any material that will hold moisture.
AS soon as they sprout they can be
set in the nursery row, where ground
should be very carefully prepared
hand plowed two or three times and
then narrowed until in good garden
condition, and free from all Jumps.
I do not recommend the planting of
seeds in the field where the walnuts
are to grow. Better care can be
given them in the nursery row, and
they can be transplanted much as
other fruit trees. Few walnut trees
in California have not been trans
planted at least once.
walnut orchards need intense cul-
ti~vation, and at times will need cover
They should no be planted closer than
40 feet. and so is preferable. While
the trees are young, other fruits and
vegetables can be grown between the
trees.

STATE UNIVERSITY
APPEALS TO FRIENDS

Letters are being sent out from the
state university at Eugene urging the
people of the state, and especially the
graduates of the school, to use their
influence against the referendum
which may be invoked on the univer-
sity appropriation. The appropria-
tons for the normal school n ag-
ricultural college are also threatened
with the referendum.
In his letter President Campbell
states that II the referendum is in
voked the higher educational work
of the state will be very seriously inn
peded for the ext two years. and
Oregon will be made the subject of
undesirable criticism in many parts
of the union during the same period.
\ general referendum movement
would probably excite so much dis
trust that millions of dollars of cap
ital for investment would be diverted
from Oregon to Washington and CAL
ifornia.
The appropriation of s50S,0O0 for
the university is principally to be
used for buildings n other perma-
nent improvements. Fully four-fifths
Of it will go in that direction. 1t is
needless to say that the buildings are
badly needed. The total of the APP
preparations for the university VIII
amoun to only a quarter of a mill on
the present valuation, after the de-
auctions are made for the amount of
revenue received from indirect. sourc-
es. This means a 25 cen tax on the
man who owns 500 worth Of prop
erty.
Friends of the university are urged
to send personal letters to the refer
endum committees at McMinnville ant
Cottage Grove, asking them to con
slider we'll before invoking the refer
endum. :. =,
A prominent local man said thi.
morning: 1.-The sentiment in this par
of the state is against the referendum
and it is likely that circulators of pc
titions would have hard work secur
ing signatures. The people here wan
to see the best educational facilitie
which the state can provide, an
there is no reason why the %appropria
ton should not be allowed to stand.

GROWING wALNUTs IN OREGON.
Prof. c. Lewis of o. \. c., Speaks
Before Lane County Horticul-
tural Society,

The present prospects are that
the walnut industry WI become a
very important one in Oregon" said
Prof. c. I. Lewis, head of the depart
ment of horticulture at the Oregon
Agricultural college, in an address to
the Lane County Horticultural Soci-
ETY. recently.
I'VE find walnut trees growing in
nearly every city from Portland to
Ashland" Prof. Lewis continued.
while the paintings ire not extern
sive as a rule, they are sufficiently
large. nevertheless, to indicate the
prospects of the industry. Undoubt-
eddy we are making many mistakes
il walnut growing and are not profit
ing by the thirty years experience of
the California walnut growers. I
spent three months, last winter, in
California. and had a splendid oppor-
try in that state.
'In locating a walnut orchard, the
most important point is to have
deep, rich soil. It will be some years,
probably, before we will know the
very best location for the walnut, but
We do know hat on deep soils trees
are growing all the way from the
river bottom soils, which are sand
and silt, up to the red hill lands.
"Since the walnut begins its activ-
ity so late in the season, 1t is not so
susceptible to frost injuries as most
of our fruit trees. They may be in
jured, however, on low lands by
heavy fall frosts. We should insist
on planting the French strains, such
as the Wranquette and Fayette, etc.
Personally, I believe that If we
are to place the walnut on a sound
foundation, we must either plant first
class grated trees, or else the very
best seedlings We can procure, with
the Idea that we will top work the
seedlings after a few years. There is
too much variation in even the best
selected seedlings.

SMOKELESS CITIES
 NOT VERY FAR OFF
From the Municipal Journal and Engin-

From the Municipal Journal and Engin-
 ger.
 Geological survey investigations indicate that the clean, comfortable American city,
 with normal amount of sunshine, is not
 far off. Smokeless cities only await d
 quickened public conscience to the fact
 that smoke, meaning uncleanliness,
 wretchedness. disease and increased cost
 of living is preventable Smoke in the
 cities is stated by the chief engineer of
 the technoiogic branch of the survey to
 cost the vast sum of S225, ,000 900 annually Tn the damage which it does to merchan- disc in stores and warehouses, in the in- jury to buildings, in the increased cost of labor and housekeeping and in other lines.
 The smoke inspector of Chicago states that his city suffers loss each year Of S50000,00O from smoke When the further statement is made that the government linvestigations show that in 50 per cent of the industrial plants of the country more than 10 per cent of the coal bills can be saved by the smokeless burning of coal
 there are shown to be two factors which should work toward smoke elimination. New York Chicago and Pittsburg may eventually erect white marble buildings which will stay white, writes Guy Elliott Mitchell in the Review of Reviews 5mokeless factory chimneys are not only theoretically possible, but they are prac- ticable. and, moreover, they are far more economical than the present smoke belcn- ing crudities. Black smoke is simply un consumed carbon-wasted Heat units perfect combustion and the utilization o all the heat in the coal means amokeless chimneys.
 The change will not come all in day or in year. It is not possible to secur, perfect combustion in most of the fur naces of the present, but as new furnaces are installed in old plants, and new fac tories and plants constructed under stric city ordinances, black smoke will become | a thing Of memory.
