A Voice From the Swamp

A part Of farm owned by United

consists Of a swamp that could never
be reclaimed for cultivation. Not
long ago some large deposits of gas
were found, and number of good,
producing wells were sunk In this
marsh.
In speech celebrating the discov-
cry Of his wealth, Mr.. Bankhead said:
Boys, I always believed that this
swamp was created for something be-
sides the breeding OF rattlesnakes. I
have refrained. however. from gassing
much about it's possibilities. And
now it Is able to do Its own gassing."

Wilson, believe, will achieve much
good during his term of Office. He is
a level-headed man, whose judgment Is
not likely to be easily changed. His
policy, think, will be of progressive
character, and will receive the strong
support of the house of representa-

Very Similar to Douglas Fir. Says Gov
crnment-Iias Handsome Grain.
Western hemlock, the best stands
of which are found along the Coast
and through the Cascade mountains
deserves a better opinion and more
general use than it now obtains, says
the department of agriculture. In
trinsically it is among the most i'm
portant of Western woods.
The wood of Western hemlock has
generally been considered an inferior
one chiefly because of the prejudice
created by the name, which has caus-
ed it to be identified with Eastern
hemlock. Tests by the forest service,
however, show it to have SO per cent
the strength of Douglas fir, one of the
country's chief construction timbers.
In fact it is often mixed with Doug
las fir and used for the same purposes.
The wood is practically free from
pitch, has handsome grain, takes
paint and stain we'll, and works
smoothly.

NEEDED LEGISLATION,

If the commission house bill which

comes a law number of kinks will be
taken ont Of the treatment which has
been accorded in years past to the pro-
ducers of fruit and vegetables by snide
commission men. Among the more i'm
portant provisions Of the bill is that
no corporation or individual may buy
or sell farm produce of any kind until
he has obtained a license from the
commissioner Of agriculture. This
costs SO. and before 1t is issued the
applicant must put up satisfactory
bond to the amount of $4,000. When a
commission account remains due and
unpaid for thirty days the consignor
may she on this bond. Another excel
lent provision Is that no commission
merchant may purchase or cause to be
purchased for his own account any
produce consigned to him for sale or
distribution. Reports of sales must be
made within forty-eight hours on
blanks approved by the commissioner
Of agriculture. who has general over
sight in the matter Of the enforcement

1.-THE Spray Calendar for 1913," pre-
pared by Profs. A. L. Melander and
H. B. Humphrey.
This bulletin, like former spray cal

form the latest and best remedies for
the insect and fungus pests which in
fest orchard, garden, and farm crops,
which have been discovered at the ex-
pertinent stations or in actual field
work. This particular calendar" is
more complete than any former one
and contains suggested remedies for
practically every pest which has been
found to occur in this state.
Directions are given, not only for
the method of applying the spray ma
terials or other remedial measures, but
also for the preparation of all of the
more common of the washes or solu-
tions which are used for spraying pur-
poses.

NEED FRESH AIR.

1t is mighty hard for some folks who
are afflicted with colds and other
bronchial Ills and who are as afraid as
death Of breath Of fresh air to re-
atize that plenty Of fresh air breathed
every night by having ones bedroom
ventilated is one of the very best
means for preventing colds, while. II
one gets a cold. breathing deep drafts
of fresh air in the open. coupled with
brisk walking. Is one of the best means
of getting rid Of it. The worst course
that can possibly be followed is to
shut oneself up in stuffy house, fire
up the stove. plug the keyholes with
cotton or paper and keep kerosene
lamp burning ut night. II a doctor
were making business for himself he
could not give prescription for pa
tient to follow that would beat this.

THE PRICE OF BEEF.

1t would seem that the variation in
the price of beef cattle from $11 per
hundredweight just before election to
$40 ut the present time cannot be
laid to Providence or the law Of supply
and demand on any rational basis. for
there are no more fat cattle in the
country than there were three months
ago. In fact. there are probably fewer.
The phenomenon Of the lower price
can only be explained on the basis of a
purposeful manipulation Of the mar
kets by the packing interests. and 1t is
this factor, which lies entirely outside
of the control of the beef producer. that
makes the feeding of cattle at any time
80 much Of a speculation.
