Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.-The cause of brown and yell
low spot in the potatoes grown on the
fields of James o. Leary at Toledo,
is being sought by H. F. Wilson and
f. d. Bailey of the Entomology and
plant pathology departments of the
Oregon Agricultural College, who left
the college for that purpose this af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Leary, who is one of the pre-
mier potato growers of the state, had
secured Irish cobbler potatoes from a
reputable house, and planted them in
his fields. Being short of seed he
bought tow extra sacks from neigh
Dor, but failed to examine them care
fully for pests. Thus, though his
first shipment brought him a price
considerably above the market, two
subsequent shipments were refused
because of yellow and brown spots
He appealed to the crop pest experts
at the college, with the result that
two men We're dispatched at once to
make investigation and advise him.

NEW WORK ON FROST FIGHTING
Report Published on Campaign of
Oregon Agricultural College I'm
Rogue Valley.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Ore, Sept 24.-"Preliminary
Frost Fighting Studies in the Rogue
River Valley" is the title of val
liable bulletin of 64 pages just issued
from the press of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, giving the results of
the work of Prof c. I. Lewis F. r.
Brown and their assistants in the
Bear Creek Orchard, Medford, the
Eisman orchard at Grants Pass, and
the G. E. Marshall orchard, as well
as of other frost fighting done by
orchardists of the valley, as the Hous-
ton brothers on the Buckeye orchard
tract. and the Gore, Workman, Phipps
Palmer, Merritt, A. c. Fiero, and
Foothills orchards
The results obtained lead the COL
lege authorities to advise oils with n
paraffine base to those with an as
phalt base, since the latter leave a
residue which will not burn and de-
creases the burning time of the heat
er. At least one thermometer to the
acre should be used, they say. The
average cost per acre for four hour
period is $50 for oil and $40 for
wood, for which more labor is re-
quired. Oil is, they believe, the best
fuel, being easier to handle and main
tanning more even temperature.

tion hospital is Man Fong, a Chinese,
who went insane while trying to mas
ter American music.
In his padded cell Fong goes
through the motions of playing most
every sort of a musical instrument
from piano to a concertina. At
times he imagines he is a band leader
and some of his evolutions are more
eccentric than Ferruello's choicest.
Fong, according to some of his
countrymen, tired of the music of his
native land, and decided to study AM
erican music. He essayed most every
thing from Steamboat Bill' to the
Fifth Nocturne" and then became
violently insane.
He was attempting to wrest a rhap-
sody from a rice barrel when taken
into cunstody. He rendered several
sonatas on the bars of his cell until
Steward Charles Simpson interrupt
ed the artist and placed him in a
straightjacket
