Thegreat section Of the middlewest

Of the very reasons why such hay

clover is manufactured into butter,
practically the entiro fertility con-
tent Is raised upon the farm, for

at their lowest market price, a ton of
butter contains SO cents worth Of

mers have, without fully realizing it,
q wonderfully rich source of fertil-
izers. The best method Of using it
Ior this purpose, together with the
reason therefore, arc set forth as fol-
lows by Professor Horace Schuddcr,
mead OF the Agricultural Department
OF the Oregon Agricultural College,
IN response to inquiries as to the
most profitable manner Of disposing
or rain-damaged hay.
"The vetch and clover crops have
been pastured back with sheep during
April or an early soiling crop cut
from them and fed to the cows, so
that the hay crop does not got ready
for cutting until about this time.
Those farmers who do not follow
gan cutting hay before the beginning
of July, have been caught with tho
heavy rains in tho latter part of juno
The result is hundreds of acres Of
clover and vetch in some localities
that are completely spoiled, as the
rain and cloudy weather kept up SO
long that it was impossible to dry
the hay by turning it.
"The question has come to us what
to do with this spoiled hay, which Is
valueless for feed Many farmers
are leaving it on the ground and it is
killing out the growth underneath
the cocks or windows, so that when
1t is removed the weeds will spring
up and injure the second cutting of
hay. Other farmers are rolling it up
and burning it. In neither case has
the great fertility value Of this spoil
ed hay crop.
"A ton of clover hay contains forty
pounds of nitrogen, five pounds Of
phosphorus and thirty pounds of po-
tassium. These are the three most
important plant food or fertility
elements. If this amount of plant
food was to be purchased on the mar
ket as fertilizer it would cost not
less than $3.50 and probably closer
to $10.5O. depending upon the form
of the fertilizer. Since good aver
age field of vetch and clover would
yield for a first cutting this year
about three tons per acre, the actual
fertility value at the lowest market
price for these three plant foods
alone contained in tho spoiled hay
on the average acre of clover land
is $3.50. Probably very fcw farm
ers in the Willamette Valley real
ize the enormous fertility value
OF the clover and vetch hay
Those who have plowed under al
heavy crop Of clover or vetch know,
however, that the fertility value is
even greater than the actual market

Celebrating Her
83rd. Birthday

| Heber c. c. Rich and family came
over from Blackfoot last Monday in
their auto to participate in a little
family reunion which was held at
Fish Haven Wednesday in honor of
the eighty-third birthday of Mr.. Rich's
mother. Mrs. Emeline G. Rich.
Mrs. Rich is one of the pioneers
Of Utah, California and Idaho. She
arrived in Salt Lake valley, with her
husband, the late Apostle Chas. Rich,
on Oct. 3. 1S47. In February, 1S49,
sion to California and Mrs. Rich &C.
companied him. After completing
their labors in Southern California,
they returned to Salt Lake, and in
October, '63 Mr.. and Mrs. Rich ar
rived in Bear Lake valley, coming by
way of Franklin. The trip from Salt
Lake was very tedious and diff
cult one.
Despite the hardships of pioneer
life which she experienced, Mrs. Rich
Is today as hale and hearty as many
women are at go years of age, and
there Is every reason to believe that
she will be permitted to enjoy the
companionship Of her children and
grandchildren for number of years
to come.
Besides the hardships endured by
all those who came in the 4O's, Mrs.
Rich met with experience unknown to
other pioneer women. Being a grad
uate from an eastern medical college
she was called upon to visit tho
homes of the sick and injured in the
years when there was no other ply
sician in the settlements. Though
her stock of medicines and surgical
appliances were limited her knowl-
edge Of medicine and surgery enabled
her to restore health to those who
were sick and relieve the sufferings
OF the injured. She was oven call
ed upon frequently to officiate as a
dentist, and has extracted more than
one aching tooth So devoted did she
become to her work that she was
reluctant to give it up, and it was
only upon the persistent requests Of
her children that she finally refused
to respond to calls for her profession
al services.
Mrs. Rich is the mother Of eight
of whom are living,
and we understand that all were pre-
sent at the reunion Wednesday. They
are: Landon ]. of Springfield, Idaho;
Samuel and Heber c. c. of Blackfoot:
Joel of Paris; George A. and Caro-
line Humphreys of Logan, and Nancy
Pugmire Of st. Charles.-Montpelier

There is greater danger of typhoid

from a body of water into which

OF typhoid infection. AS most re.
sorts have a water supply of this

wonder that SO many Of our citizens

The publication of drinking water
