MANSFIELD CONCERT BAND

The band concert was howl
ing success financially; net re-
ceipts, S6,J5. Our expenses for
the month was So. 20, with Sc 50
with which to pay 1t
A good many have told US we
were getting the benefit of it, let
us pay it. So we have for the last
two years. 1t seems strange that
some towns appreciate having a
band so much more than others.
One business man in our sister
town, Ava, presented their band
with a check for 5000 - said the
band was worth that to him: so
you see why Ava always has a
good band.
1t is unnecessary to call any
names but there are some here
who have done more than their
part to help support the band.
We all know who they are. We
have had to assess each member
S2 o. So per month to pay eX
penses. We can't afford so much
that Mansfield may have a band,
even if we do get the benefit of it.
Below is financial statement
of the band:
First, we have more than ST.
10000 invested in inst uments
which we paid fol ourselves
Other expenses since we or
ganiz d two years ago iast April
are 81, ,5JS. SO, making a total of
more than S2,600.00. We still owe
S65 90, for which we made a note
to the bank.
We thank all those who have
helped support the band. May
the good Lord shower many
blessings upon them.

character in history or fiction whom
the absent one is to represent He is
then recalled and each Of the others,

his return the player may be assailed

more questioning to indicate that Ma,
poleon was the character chosen.
The other form of the game allows
the person who goes out to decide
upon a character to represent and
then act It out for the others to guess.
Sometimes the company is divided
into two groups and each side in turn
acts out an event In the career of the
character chosen.

ever, according to recent investiga.
tions conducted by Professor C. l.
Lewis, horticulturist of the Oregon
Agricultural college. About the first
OF July Professor Lewis took consid.
erable quantities Of loganberry Juice,
without heat, sweetened it to taste and
poured 1t into bottles which he set
away in the basement rooms of the
horticultural building. The bottles
were not sealed, nor was the tempera-
ture OF the room cooled below normal.
At the end Of six weeks an examina.
ton OF the Juice showed that its ap-
pearance was unchanged and that fer.
mentation was just beginning to set in.
Upon tasting, the Juice was found to
be sweet, with no more than just a
sparkling" taste to enrich its flavor.
Professor Lewis considers its self.
sterilizing power very unusual and de-
stined to make 1t popular beverage
wherever loganberries are grown.

ExTERMINATE sow THISTLE.

lis.-"As the SOW thistle, the weed so

places, is an annual, it may be de-

ty in getting rid of the thistle. Then
after the crop is harvested and the
weeds begin to appear in the fall, the
ground should be disked, and the disk.
ing repeated in the spring. This will
cause the seeds to germinate and the
plants may be completely destroyed
by the plowing or cultivation that fol-
lows.
I'm badly infested fields, the land
cannot be entirely cleaned of this
weed until cultivated in row crops. If
this does not seem possible, the fields
should be disked after harvest, and
again as soon as the young seedlings
have started to grow. Then, early in
the fall, use the disk plow, set deep,
and sow the field thickly to vetch and
oats or vetch and rye. II this crop
is seeded early in September and gets
good start, it will smother out the
thistle and most other annual weeds.
1t can then be cut early in the spring
for soiling, or plowed under as green
manure.
Where the SOW thistle appears in
pastures, sheep are very effective in
keeping 1t down. In any case, it
should not be allowed to go to seed, as
it can propagate itself in no other
way.
"The weed is especially liable to ac-
cumulate along the roadside and in
waste places. Here the best method
is to clip such areas before the seeds
form, and follow by thorough burning.
II possible, these waste places should
be plowed and seeded to some such
grass as perennial rye, which will
crowd out most Of the weeds. The
grass may later be cut for hay or
pastured off with sheep"

FARM zN1 .l.!' ORCHARD
Notes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
and Washington Specially Cooa Conditions
CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT FIREeLIeHT

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis.-The general and rapid spread of
the deadly fireblight in the pear and
apple orchards of Oregon can be
checked by means of organized cam
paigns to carry out the standard treat
ment of cutting out all diseased parts
of the tree, disinfecting the wounds
and burning the brush, according to
Professor H. S. Jackson, head of the
plant pathology department, Oregon
Agricultural college. These radical
measures have already been instituted
in one of the important fruit districts
Of the state and are in fair way to
be applied in one other. AS the dis
ease is prevalent in a more or less
serious aspect in every county of east
ern Oregon with the possible excep-
ton of Wasco, experts in plant dis
eases believe that no time should be
lost in putting control measures into
effect.
While measures OF procedure will
vary somewhat in the different Sec
tions of the state, the plan followed
successfully in the La Grande district
can be made the basis of plans suit
able in most other districts. This
campaign, which has been in operation
for several days, is described by Pro-
fessor Jackson as follows:
Requests for aid for the La Grande
district came through the state board
Of horticulture. In response l went to
La Grande about July Z, and held lee
lures there and at Elgin. Subsequent
ly / visited all parts of the Grand
Ronde valley. AS a result of this
inspection of the orchards there a
meeting was held Saturday afternoon.
July IL, at which the matter Of hand
ling the situation throughout the val
ley was discussed and committee ap-
pointed to present to the county court
a petition asking for funds to provide
for demonstration work. AS a result
OF that action $500 was appropriated
by the county court on August 6.
Il secured for the fruit growers the
services of c. C. Hyde and NJ. M.
Winslow, graduates of o. A. C. in
horticulture, who spent the summer in
the Rogue River valley as blight ex-
perts and are thoroughly familiar with
methods of cutting out the disease.
The campaign was organized in such
a way that demonstrations in cutting
out the disease and disinfecting the
wounds are being conducted in various
orchards by these men. They expect
to cover all parts of the valley. They
will follow up the demonstrations with
careful inspection as carried on by
the inspection service, as soon as the
growers are thoroughly familiar with
the details OF the work. This proceed
ure interferes in no way with the
regular county inspection service but
is an aid to inspectors in familiarizing
them with the disease and the best
methods OF treatment. My part in
the work has been purely that of or
ganization under the general direction
OF the college extension service"
