"THIS IS A
REAL NURSERY"
AENs--.s.-.Ezs19 W..E


A year or so since we quoted the
above remark make by practical
orchardist and horticulturist, who
dropped in to see our plant after he
had visited most of the nurseries in
Washington. -,
What this gentleman saw on THAI
particular day was what goes on
here at shipping time for about four
weeks in the fall and six weeks in
the spring, besides which he, of
course, saw the fields of full-grown
stock ready for digging while the
spring visitor would see the plant
ing being done.
In other words, he saw a big
packing house, well systematized,
everything in it's place and fine,
clean, well-rooted stock being pack
ed out in good order for customers
in every section of the Northwest.
He saw about 140 varieties of APP
pies, about 40 pear, so peach, 70
apricot, 35 plum, 30 prune, 40 cher
ry, etc., right down through all the
staple fruits, shade and ornamental
stock, totalling 1920 varieties, each
in it's own place.
And that's why this is real nur-
sery. We grow full assortment OF
all the best that belongs in COM
plete plant. It's delivered to our
customers in good order, and it's
backed up by dependable con-
Germ, whose highest desire is to sell
good trees to critical public.
That concern is us.

A NITRATE PLANT.

A NITRATE PLANT
Not long since Seattle was visited
by a noted scientist and inventor
who wishes to establish plant here
by which nitrates can be formed by
an electric current. The name of
this noted man is DR.. Samuel Eyde of
Christiania, Norway. The Post-In
telligencer speaks of DR.. Eyde and his
work as follows: CDR. Eyde is the
head of the nitre industries OF Nor
way, and the inventor of the system
of utilizing nitrogen from the air,
which is now in use in Norway.
Cheap water power is necessity OF
the industry. Nitre is produced
under the Eyde system by the use OF
fans and the driving OF the air through
the so-called Birkeland-E yde oven,
where it is heated by a electrical
flame, the oxygen and nitrogen are
removed and combined in water, max
ing nitric acid. DR.. Eyde said that it
was impossible for his company to
meet the demands that Europe is
making for their products at the pres
ent time. Your country around
here is rich in water power sites.
This, combined with cheapness, is
our main requirement. We are get
ting to the place where we must have
A Wi Mo q
receiving demands for our products
from your country. This is especially
true in reference to our nitrate OF
lime, which is very valuable as a
fertilizer. We need much water, both
for power and to generate electricity,
which plays an important part in the
production of our nitre, and as an
absorbent in the making of nitric
acid. Today the United States re-
ceives her nitrates, soda and lime,
from the saltpetre mines of Chile.
Aside from the nitrate of lime the
air plants of Norway produce other
valuable nitric by products, including
ammonium nitrate, which is manu-
featured for explosives, nitrit, which
is used in the manufacture of aniline
dyes, and concentrated nitric acid.
DR.. Eyde believes that there is great
field in the United States for such
plant as he plans -
1t would be a mistake to suppose
that such nitrates as DR.. Eyde pro-
poses to manufacture from the air is
an exceptional affair. All nitrates
are derived from the free nitrogen OF
the air whether manufactured by ma
chinery or by the processes of nature.
The source is the same in all cases.
Nature manufactures nitrates and
man by his skill does the same. One
is natural and the other is artificial.

markable things about carbon which
enters so largely into all vegetable
growth, is the very small amount in
the air. Let me here give a quota
ton from agricultural Botany" by
Prof. John Percival: ''The source
from which plants obtain the large
quantity of carbon Of which more than
half their dry weight consists, has
been the subject of extensive in
vestigation for along time. By the
method of water-culture or sand-cul-
ture it may be readily shown that
ordinary green plants flourish and in
crease in carbon-content when their
roots are supplied with solution OF
food-materials containing no carbon,
so long as the solution contains all
other essential elements. Under
these circumstances the only source
of carbon is the oarbon-dioxide of
the atmosphere surrounding the leaves
and although the proportional amount
of this gas present in the air is very
small, averaging about q parts in
10, 900, it is from this source that the
whole of the carbon of plants grown
by the method of water-culture is
derived. Extended and carefully con-
Quoted Investigations have proved
beyond doubt that the chief food
material utilized by green plants for
their carbon-supply is the carbon
dioxide of the air, and that this gas
is absorbed by means Of the leaves. -
When we learn that the proportion
of carbon in the air is SO very small
and so large a quantity is used in
plant growth, we may we'll wonder
why this limited supply is not entire
ly used up. Percival explains this in
very satisfactory manner as follows:
''The absorptive activity on the part
of green vegetation would soon result
in the total removal of carbon dioxide
from the air were it not for the fact
that the atmosphere is being con-
tinually replenished with carbon
dioxide which is produced in the
process of respiration carried on by
all living things and by the combus-
ton of coal, wood and other kinds OF
fuel containing carbon.

SUMMER COLDS
Are Considered by Doctors More Dam
gerOuS Than Winter Colds.

A person is quite as apt to catch cold
in the summer as in the winter, but it
is harder to cure a cold in the summer
than in the winter. In winter the brac-
ing air assists the remedy to overcome
the cold, but the sultry, depressing
weather of summer retards the cure of
colds.
The public is much interested in
knowing remedy thatwill successfully
cope with summer colds. A remedy
that covers just such cases is Peruna.
Experience has taught that 1t is the one
remedy that promptly expels sum-
mer colds of every character and de.
scription.
Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, KY, says :
"I have taken Peruna, and would say
that it is the best medicine for coughs
and colds I ever saw. find that it
always cures cold in a short while. 1t

MEDAL CONTEST
Was INTERESTING
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYED THE
ENTERTAINMENT ON FRI
DAY NIGHT.

At the Methodist church on Friday
evening, when the Loyal Temperance
Legion children held their first medal
contest of the season, ample proof
we; given that Brunswick has some
very promising material in the di-
rection of elocution.
Five girls took part, and with keen
interest the audience listened to their
respective pieces, which ranged from
t e amusing to the pathetic, and
called for considerable skill in the
rendering.
Madeleine Dickey recited first. her
reeding being entitled 1.-TWO Little
Legioners." She did well, speaking
the lines with very creditable clears
ness, and she made a good impress
SIGN
Next came Winnie Courier, who
told the story of a certain Tom Jones
who was said to have robbed his
wife's rudy cheeks and used the
ccioring matter to redden the end of
his nose. Winnies grasp of the
! meaning of the poem was very ap-
parent, and her delightful manner of
conveying the significance Of the
lines proved very satisfactory.
Then the character of a "Scolding
Dame" was cleverly shown in a piece
recited by Marie Anderson, and when
the end came, stating that the lady's
husband drank by mistake bowl O
starchy water, the audience laughed
heartily.
Thelma Courier followed, with al
IMPRESSIVE selection called ga Dream
ard What Became of It." which wal
rec1ted in a very pleasing way.
The last to recite was Lillian Isaac
whose selection was so nicely don,
as to very favorably impress the au

A Man Doesn t Really
Enjoy Lying to His Wife.

For instance. a man doesn't real

staying downtown of an evening. 1t

him in his own eyes to have to con-

about some important trade, or
having to sit up with a sick friend,
and he despises both her and him.

He would much prefer saying:

because I want to, and because I've
got a right to enjoy myself in my
own way occasionally and I expect
to have a bully time. and goodness
knows when I'll be home, SO don't
sit up for me-
That's the truth that the man
would like to tell his wife. but he
doesn't dare do it. SO he tries to
subdue the JOY in his voice, and
whines out something hypocritical
about wishing he could come home
and be with his darling little wife,
and how he hates to be kept away
from her, and so on And Maria
has forced him to be a liar because
she wouldn't stand for the truth for
a minute ANY man who would
admit that he had spent an even

Portland.
Involved in the great network of

that will form the subsidiary system
OF the Southern Pacific and which
have been acquired by the purchase
are: The Portland, Eugene & East
ern and other Welch properties. the
Salem, Falls City & Western, known
as the Gerlinger road, and the Candy
