IDA M. TARBELL ON "THE HOME
LESS DAUGHTER"

Ida NJ. Tarbell, writing OF The
Homeless Daughter" in the April
American Magazine, makes the follow
ing comments on the girl who leaves
home and goes out into the world
to earn a living.
1.-THE knawing lonhness Of the girl
who has left home to make her way
u one of the most fruitful causes Cd
the questionable relations which we'll
born girls form more often than so
ciety realizes. The girl seizes eager
b every chance for companhonsnip
or pleasure. Her keen need Of II
makes her overappreciative and un-
der-critical. Moreover, she has the
confidence of ignorance. Most Amer
lean girls are brought up as II wrong
doing were impossible to them. No
body has ever suggested to them that
they have the possibility Of all crimes
in their makeup! Parents and teach
ers ordinarily have extraordinary skill
In evading, but little in facing, the
facts OF life.
"Disarmed by her ignorance, the
girl goes out to freedom such as
no country has ever before believed
it safe to allow the young, either girl
or boy. This freedom is of course the
logical result of what we call thu
Emancipation of women 1t is the
swinging Of the pendulum from the
old system of chaperonage and au-
thOrity. The weak point is in the fact
that the girl has not knowledge
enough for her freedom. 1t is not a
return of the old system of guarded
girls which is needed. That is impos

The Facts About Douglas Fir.

For framework-Timbe rs, d1men-
sion, shiplap, sheathing, roof boards,
etc. 1t is very much stronger than
pine and other soft woods.
Timber tests made by Government
engineers place Douglas fir in the
first rank in all tests for strength of
soft woods.
For durability and lasting qualities
there is no superior timber product
and when available is always given
preference.
The natural oil in the wood acts as
a preventative and when subjected to
the extremes of temperature and ex-
cessive moisture fir will not seriously
swell. shrink and warp out Of shape.

The clears or upper grades of
Douglas fir are particularly adapted
to use as interior finish because of
the freedom from knots and stained
sap.
The grain is beautiful and varied.

show will not be it's smallest feature.
The application for entry blank in
this department indicates splendid
interest over the territory covered by
the show. The sales of pure bred and
grade dairy cattle will prove attractive
as there is an immense demand for
cattle of quality and especially those
that are available for milking.
Letters being received indicate that
a number of exhibitors at the National
Dairy Show at Chicago will send their
animals to the Pacific international
at North Portland. The Nationl dates
are October oath to November End
and the Pacific international dates
are November 18th to 23rd, thus giving
the exhibitors at Chicago practically
16 days to reach North Portland.

all points in Oregon, Washington

THE POTATO BLIGHT.

rsThe blight of the potato, which has
this year appeared in the form of an
epidemic in many parts of Western
Washington, has been identified by
the Pathologist of the State Expert
ment Station as the so-called Late
blight, a disease due to infection by
parasitic fungus of internal habit OF
growth. A careful study of the dis
tribution of this disease has shown it
to be most common in the New Eng
land states, certain sections of the
Mississippi valley and in the potato
growing regions of Canada. Occasion
ally an outbreak of this fungus pest
appears within our own state as is
the case this year.
The symptoms of the disease are
quite characteristic, it's first evidence
being the appearance of brown spots
on the margins of the leaves and the
gradual extension of these areas,
until the entire leaf is involved. In
moist regions these spotted leaves
have a water soaked appearance,
sometimes accompanied by purplIsh
tint. A general epidemic of the late
blight of the potato, often, though
not always, accompanies seasons OF
unusual rainfall. The fungus invades
not only the leaves of the diseased
plants but the stems and branches as
we'll, extending from these, in the
case of some varieties, into the tubers.
The development of the fungus is
very rapid, requiring from few
hours to three or four days to bring
about a destruction of many or all OF
the plants i'll a field.
An examination of the tubers OF
seriously diseased plants usually re-
veals the presence of discolored
tissue. This is certain evidence of
the disease and such tubers should
never be used for seed. Oftentimes
a few or all of the potatoes within a
hill are affected and in cases where
there is plenty of moisture in the soil
accompanied by warm weather, wet
rot may follow.
This disease may be controlled by
the use of Bordeaux mixture in the
ration of $780, which should be ap-
piled as soon as the young plants
have reached height of six or seven
inches and should be followed by at
least three subsequent sprayings OF
from 10 to 10 days apart. There is
no known remedy which can be ap-
piled after the plant makes its ap-
pearance, with any certainty OF sue
cess in eradicating the disease.
1t is always advisable to plant seed
secured from some blight-free source.
This seed should be, planted on
ground on which diseased potatoes
have not been produced. Ii these
precautions are taken there is little
likelihood OF serious outbreak of
the disease.
Potatoes that do not show outward
signs of the disease may be best kept
in cool, dry cellar or pit.
