Free Seeds Are Cut Off:

Washington, D. C.-Congressional
distribution of seeds was ended by the
senate by eliminating from the agri-
cultural appropriation bill a provision
appropriating $256, 100 for that pur-
pose. Among the more important
adopted was the bill by
Senator Hoke Smith creating bureau

LISTER FAvORs LOWER LEVY

Olympia levy Of one mill instead
of II for state highways and II in

road fund is the stand Governor Lister
made in conferences with prominent
legislators
Senator Nichols and other members
of his committee have agreed to the
permanent highway reduction in the
hope Of saving the state highway trunk
lines proposed, notably the Snoqualmie
pass road.

house roads committee.
AS the governor figures, total levy
of % mills should suffice for both
funds, instead of the 4-mill total pro-
vided in the bills passed. The reduc-
tion proposed would yield about ST.
100000 for the biennium, an amount
road improvement advocates in the
legislature consider insufficient to ac-
complish results worth considering.
What will result from the governors
attitude is difficult to forecast. The
state highway bill is in his hands and

senate committee has agreed to reduce

MIGHTY PEAK WAS MAzAMA
Highest on Pacific Coast Once, but
Little Rename Of u, at the
Present Time.

The highest mountain in Oregon
is Mount Hood, 1925 feet above
sea level. Compared with Mount
Whitney, to the the south in Cali
fornia, and Mount Rainier, to the
north in Washington. each rising
well above $4,000 feet, Mount Hood
does not appear as a skyscraper.
However, according to the geolo-
gists of the United States geological
survey and other authorities, Oregon
had at one time, probably before the
dawn Of life upon the earth, great
volcano which lowered as far above
Mount Hood as does Mount Rainier,
possibly even several thousand feet
higher.
This was the great Mount Maza-
ma. But thousands of years ago
this mountain disappeared into the
bowels of the earth and all that is
left today is the huge rim around
Crater lake.
Crater lake is the caldera of this
extinct and collapsed volcano and is
nearly six miles in diameter. The
inside walls of the rim of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself is in places 1000 feet
deep and parts of the wall rise above
its waters another 1000 feet.
A restoration of the mountain in
fancy, using as a basis the angles
of the lower slopes, which still re-
main, shows that the apex could not
have been far from $4,000 feet in
height, so that Mount Mazama was
one of the most lofty and majestic
in the United States.

STEAM A GOOD FERTILIZER

English market gardeners for years
had such trouble with slugs, cutworms
and other insects that they could
never be sure of. good crops. They
then hit. upon the plan of introducing
iron pipes into the soil of their, gar
dens and forcing great quantities OF
lot steam through the pipes. In this
manner the steam killed all these in
sects. and also the eggs that were in
the soil awaiting time for develop
ment into more crop-destroying in
sects
The experiment worked so well that
scores of such gardeners prepared
plants for steaming the soil OF their
gardens, and as result, after a few
years of this, 1t was found that the
killing of all damaging insects was by
no means the only benefit that steam
gave.
In other words, steam proved to be
one of the very best of fertilizers So
great was the fertilization of the soil
by them that. it was found the usual
amount of fertilizer used would have
TOT be diminished, or the ground would
become altogether too rich for the

After considerable experimenting
Investigation it was learned that the
increased fertilization was due to the

She then secured long iron rod

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement OF
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $1,000 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Colo.
RADIO for the best peck of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. G. Hill &
Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed a peck of oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition of the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c., and 1t is
said of it that it was one of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons Of Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
flax-have been In competition with
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t is not only in oats, but it
is in wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
In the districts contiguous, where the
conditions of climate, shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large In
profits. 1t was in the Province Of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried off the Championship Of
the steer class, at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay Of the Province
and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce of corn.
Western Canada presents innumer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
