TIME field was very quiet and
peaceful in the beautiful morn

There was a rabbit out on the grass
from the big warren situated where
the old, tangled, double hedge joined
the wood, and there were two black
and shining rocks waddling about look

Suddenly the rocks rose with start

way up along the hedge to the warren,
Arrived at the warren, they flung
down spades and bags and loaded
their guns. They were still very quiet.
The bags looked rather uncanny, be-
cause they rolled and danced about in
a very odd fashion, like live things al

Then one OF the men knelt by a

into one of the bags, drew forth 4

At Brooks, Oregon Friday, October
II, 1918, at l p. M, William Harris,
aged SO years.
The funeral will be held from the
residence at Brooks at l O'Clock Sun
day afternoon. The burial will be at
the Pioneer cemetery.
Deceased was the father of Mrs. D. H.
Craven, of Portland; Mrs. F. E. Brown,
of Council, Idaho; j. H. Harris of
Brooks, and Mrs. j. E. Allison and G..
II. Harris, of Salem.
He was born in Bonneville, NO., in
1927 and came to Oregon across the
plains in 1S49. He settled in Benton
county, near Monroe, until 1874, when
he removed to Brooks where he resided
until the time of his death, with the
exception of two years spent in Salem.
He was married in 1853 to Elizabeth
Baird, at Monroe, who died in January,
1910, after fifty.seven years of welded
life.
Mr. Harris was a member of the First
Methodist church nearly seventy years.
He was noted for his generosity and
kindness and led an exemplary life.

equal terms, it might be broadly con
sidered as somewhat of sport. Such
is golf No better example of the pos
sibilities golf holds out could be found
than that presented during the play
ing of the Senior Championship at Rye,
New York. There Justice Pitney, of
the u. S. Supreme Court, railroad mag
natees, and just ordinary citizens met
in open competition. A contestant
must be over So years of age to enter
the tournament. The sensation of the
play was man SO years old.
Alexander Milne, of New York, was
the man. In 1S47 he competed for the
town medal of MOntrose, Scotland. For
A years he did not play golf at all.
Then he "came back'' and turned in
a score that made some of the younger
players look to their laurels.
Apparently you are never too young
to get the golf bug, and never too old.
A game of that sort is likely to live
for while Going at the rate the
United States has travelled in 25 years

the greatest players Of the world are

usual results in such cases, because the
squirrels, mice and birds will eat the
seeds where they are planted without
protection, and even when these enc.
mics allow the seed to germinate, the
drying out of the soil in drouth periods
is usually too much for the tiny seed
lings during their first season.
Because of these vicissitudes forest
ers usually find it advantageous to grow
the seedlings in nursery beds, where
seeds and plants can be protected by
wire screens and shade frames, and
where water can be applied when need
ed. Usually, too, the seedlings are
transplanted once or twice before they
are set out in their final situation, the
transplanting process serving to de-
velop stocky plants with compact sturdy
roots.

to be generally cheaper in proportion
to results accomplished, particularly
when the cost of seed is taken into
consideration.
The California experiment, which in
dicates the possibility of direct seeding
of'certain species in some localities, was
conducted on an area of 90 acres, sown
in the fall of 1910 to Jeffrey pine. A
large number of seedlings have become
thoroughly established and have made
thrifty growth. The plantation is at
an altitude of 5000 feet where there
is more moisture than at lower eleva-
tions.
When the seeds were planted they
were coated with red lead to discourage
mice and other rodents, but so far as
the forest officers could find out the
lead coating had no such effect not
enough of the seed was eaten, however
to destroy the value of the planting.
