SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE
IN BRIEF.

Briefly stated, the Illinois sys-
tenn of agriculture is that the
farmer should put back into his
soil as much of the vital ele-
ments of plant food necessary
for growing large crops as he is
taking out in his crops and in
addition to this put in a supply
to draw on for the future We
advise that this be zone to as
large an extent as possible with
raw materials rather than with
high priced commercial fertiliz-
ers. Grow legumes to furnish
nitrogen. apply finely ground
rock phosphate to furnish phOs-
phorus. ground limestone to fur
nish calcium and keep the soil
sweet, and where it is necessary
apply potassium i'll the pure po-

Heavy Fertilization For Wheat

In wheat fertilization experiments
at the Indiana experiment station on
clay and loan soils the complete fer
tiliZer gave the largest average in
crease and the greatest average profit
per acre. The use of 200 pounds of
fertilizer per acre on wheat proved
more profitable than the use of 100
pounds per acre.

MUCH ACTIVITY PROMISED.
Mines West of Grants Pass Show
Signs of Life.

Grants Pass, April Not in
years has there been the activity in
the mining districts to the west of
Grants Pass that is noticeable today.
Not in prospecting alone is. this ac-
tivity noted, but in the work that is
being done on proven properties to
prepare them for becoming shippers
and dividend payers with the coming
OF transportation. During the past
week tons of supplies have gone from
this city to the mining camps. Spo-
kane people have equipped for oper-
ating placer ground on the upper
Sucker creek on large scale, thus
adding one more producer to the list
of placers in the district, and sew
eral loads of supplies have gone for
ward to the lower Rogue copper
fields. These mountains of ore have
been awaiting the coming of trans
portation facilities, and the prospect
of the immediate building of rail-
road has spurred mine holders on to
prepare to realize on their waiting
wealth.

of the crust thoroughly and, unless
the oven is very hot, the juice will

which makes it flaky and browns
better.
When making pies, instead OF mix

a gallon or more of the dry ingredi-

shortening, and when pie-making
comes again use 4 tablespoonfuls of
this mixture for a two-crust pie.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Emergency Drawer.

This should be in every home, as
it will save time and steps in case of
accident. A drawer that locks is
best, as the children cannot get into
it. In this you should have three
sizes of bandages from two to four
inches wide, and some small pieces
of soft white material, such as old
handkerchiefs The bandages can be
made from old bed sheets that have
been washed and thoroughly boiled
and rinsed in carbolized water made
with one ounce of carbolic acid to a
bucket of water. Have a pair of
sharp scissors, a pair of tweezers, a
sharp knife or old razor blade, a
package of absorbent cotton, roll of
adhesive plaster, bottle of perez
ide, bottle of arnica or witchhazel,
a box of carbolic salve, bottle of
camphorated oil and some pieces OF
flannel. You are now fixed for any

To Keep a Fire Over Night.
Remove the ashes from under the
fire. Put on enough coal to fill the
box, close the dampers and lift the
back covers enough to admit the air.
This is much more satisfactory than
lifting the lids over the firebox and
prevents poisonous gases from com
ing out into the room.
To Remove Paint on Windows.
Often in painting the woodwork
on the windows some paint falls or
the window pane. This may be re.
moved easily by rubbing with bak
ing soda and cold water No matter
how long it has been on, this will
remove it.

Seeking Food for Hungry Nation

Seeking Food for a Hungry Nation.
Why have the japanese come to
this coast? This is the first question
we must ask. To seek trouble with
Uncle Sam? To plant a naval force?
To start competitive manufacturing?
For no such reason. A starving
people are seeking food. An over
crowded nation increasing 5000
every year must plant colonies to
provide more and cheaper food for
those at home. A heavy war tax
placed upon the principal items of
Japanese diet has increased the cost
of living. The rulers so far refuse
to take this off. Japan, under such
a crisis, is rapidly becoming an in
dustrial country, and is spending a
hundred million dollars a year for
raw cotton to manufacture.
Distress in Japau has so increased,
largely due to the rush of men. wom-
.en and children into the cotton mills,
that a public meeting was held at
Toxic in the MeiJI Theater in May.
1912, to discuss the high price of
rice and wheat. Starvation has sent
home-loving Japarese farmers and
fishermen out into new lands, that
she may multiply her importation of
untaxed foods and reduce the num-
Der of those at home. Hun
dreds of thousands have gone to
Corea, Manchuria, Sahhalien. and
most of all to Formosa, where they
are restoring the cultivation of tea
and the camphor forests. More than
hundred thousand of them are in
the Philippines and $4,000 in Ha-
waii, for the same reason. Now a
private company is taking over this
big concession on the Pacific coast
just south of us, to accommodate
more Japanese and to provide more
food for those at home. The uues-
t1on is not war, not Intervention in
MEXICO, not interference by our state
department administration in the af-
fairs of the Japanese. A nation as
poor as this we have seen is not seek
ing war. Its total debt is a billion
dollars, nearly half of which results
from the last war. 1t has opened
sixteen treaty ports, many of them
at the very north of Manchuria, to
| international trade and residence, so
that Uncle Sam aid Germany will go
in there to buy and SELL We are set
there to keep watch on Russia, be-
cause of the eternal fear of Japan
that the Muscovite will again light
the beacons OF war in the Orient. 1t

tury to recuperate.- l.. Mat

U. S. MAY HELP STATE
Interior Department Ready to Aid
With Funds in Reclaiming
Lands.

Salem, Ore, April Carrying
with him assurances from Secretary
of the Interior Lane that he will rec
ommend that the federal government
eXpend $450,000 in cooperation with
the state in the reclamation of lands
in the Columbia southern project.
and the assurances that the federal
government will eXpend dollar for
dollar with the state in reclaiming
lands in projects which a Joint in
vestigation to be made by the state
and reclamation service may deter
mine feasible, State Engineer John
H. Lewis returned to the city from
Washington, d. c., yesteray.
The legislature appropriated $780,
600 for the reclamation of lands in
the Columbia southern project, but
this will only reclaim about $4,000
acres, while the project contains
about $4,000 acres. Among other
things, Lewis mission to Washing
ton was to interest the federal gov
ernment in cooperating with the
state so that the whole project might
be reclaimed. Secretary Lane was
favorably impressed with the p1an
and so was Senator Cham berlain, and
the former will forward a formal let
ter soon, advising the State Desert
Land Board that the government will
cooperate, provided it is shown that
the project is feasible. When this
letter arrives the plan will be pre-
sented to the board
Governor West has gone on record
as being opposed to federal co-opera-
tion but it is not believed that he
can afford to turn down the $780,
600 offer from the federal govern
ment on the Columbia southern pro-
ject, and especially when the federal
government is showing a disposition
to cooperate with relation to future
projects.
Another thing accomplished by rne
state engineer was the closing of a
new contract with the government
with relation to the 100000 to be
expended by the state and govern.

of irrigation projects and water pow.

The state appropriated half of the
sum and the government half, and il
/ is desired to eXperd the whole sun
on the Deschutes river. Mr.. Lewis
contended that a portion should be
expended on other streams and the
government has finally agreed to it
After this investigation the stat,
will be able to say just what watel
power the streams in eastern Oregon
are capable of producing, and also al
to what irrigation projects are feas
ible. Secretary of the Interior Lane
assured the state engineer that the
government would expend dollar fol

Cleaning Compound.

This compound is unrivaled for re-
moving grease spors, pitch, tar and
paint from every description of wool
Ell goods, FOR cleaning coat collars,
ETC.: Use Az pounds of CASTLE
soap, pint of camphor, half a pound
of saleratus and l pint of water. Cut
the soap into small pieces and melt
over slow fire.
To Clean COrSetS.
An excellent way to clean corsets
is to remove the front and side steels
and scrub thoroughly with a tepid
lather of white CASTLE soap, using a
small scrubbing brush. Do not put
them in water. When clean hold
under the cold water faucet and
rinse thoroughly. Dry without iron
ing and pull lengthwise until they

Dairy Hint.
When washing milk cans and
pans, scald and leave in the air to
drain. Do not wipe and the milk
will not turn sour so quickly
To Clean Paint Brushes.
If paint brushes have dried stiff
with the paint in them, let them sim
mer few minutes in vinegar which
has been brought to the boiling
point. Remove and wash thoroughly
in strong soapsuds.
To Clean Glassware.
Glassware and water bottles coat
ed with white crust from hard wa
ter may be cleaned by strong vine
