provide specific and detailed instrue-
tion for conducting these contests, but
will show the teacher how to use the
state adopted text in elementary agri-
culture and supplement it with simple
and interesting experiments both in
doors and outdoors. In the same way,
the direct and practical instruction in
cooking and sewing will furnish the
essentials for assisting the girl pupils.
Any teacher who has the advantage of
six weeks contact with expert instruct
ors and practical demonstrations in the
work in which he is to direct his pupils,
will vastly multiply his efficiency and
usefulness in his community.
"The courses are organized to meet
the needs of both general and special
students. Young men and women who
have had no systematic instruction in
the branches taught at this institution
will find elementary courses adapted
to their needs. Students and gradu-
ates Of high schools where no industrial
training is given, and others who have
completed their schooling, may spend a
delightful six weeks in Corvallis at mod
crate expense, obtaining useful, prac-
teal information and at the same time
perhaps discover unexpected capacities,
heretofore dormant. Others, who have
a trade OF profession, want side line
in fruit raising, vegetable gardening,
poultry and the like. Still others arc
interested in identifying their lawns
with flowers and shrubbery and plant
ing and arranging them in the most
artistic way. Many public school and
college teachers are providing old age
pensions by acquiring land"

Estates that have produced above 900
pounds of butter in one year, four of
them, or 25 per cent are in Oregon. OF
80 that have produced to exceed 800
pounds, six cows, 20 per cent, are Ore
gon cows. Of 105 that produced to
exceed 700 pounds of butter within a
year, IA, almost IA per cent, are Ore
gon cows. While the five cows that
have produced 1000 pounds or more of
butter during years test are outside
of Oregon, this state has one cow that
fell but IL ounces short of that num-
ber.
Although there are more than 60
breeders of pure bred Jerseys in the
state not many of them have ever ear
ried on testing. There are but IA now
doing advanced registry work, two hav-
ing dropped out temporarily. This is a
very poor showing, and yet it has
proved that Oregon dairy conditions
are unequaled elsewhere.

state in the Union to carry on this
work and G. D. Horton, who is con-
ducting the experiments, has had the
benefit of three years experimental
work in the first state to undertake it,
Connecticut, at Storrs Station. In in
viting cooperation Mr.. Horton says:
''The question of the loss of young
chicks at this season of the year is
one of vital Importance to poultry
men. 1t has been estimated that at
least 10 per cent of all the chicks that
are lost die as a result of white
diarrhoea, condition brought about
by specific germ or organism called
Equilibrium The action of this or
ganism is as follows. The mature hen
having acquired the germs transmits
them through her eggs to the young
chicks. That is, the germs after gain
ing entrance into the hens body lodge
themselves within some of the ova or
undeveloped eggs and later, when these
germ laden eggs are Matched the young
chicks emerging from them are infected
before leaving the shell. These chicks
may live for period of weeks during
which time they are source of danger
to the healthier chicks because their
droppings contain the deadly germs
which the healthier chicks may pick up.
Complete isolation of the infected
chicks and the free Use of sour milk
will lessen, in large measure, the
mortality.

APPLE TREES.

rURING the decade 1900-1910 the
~ number of bearing apple trees in
the United States decreased by a
total of 50,471 900 or 1874 per cent. At
the former date there were reported in
the United States census 201, ,794, 600
as again Isl, ,S23, 900 in 1910. In 1910
there were fewer than one.half the
farms in the United States that reported
the growing of apple trees. Notwith,
standing this showing there has been
considerable advancement in the busi-
ness of commercial apple growing. Ae.
cording to Professor I. j. Lewis, head
of the Oregon Agricultural College di-
vision of horticulture, prime factor in
developing the commercial phases of the
apple industry has been the growth of
American cities and the tendency to
change from apples in thu form Of cider,
apple butter, etc, to larger use of
the fresh fruit, eating it in the form
of pies, sauces, etc. Better transporta-
ton facilities and refrigerator ears
have had an important influence not
only on the apple but on all our fruits,
There have been waves or epochs in
the apple industry such as the intro.
duction of tillage as an orchard prae.
tice, spraying for the control Of insects
and disease pests, the use of cover
crops, orchard heating to protect the
fruit from late frosts and improved
methods Of selling and distributing. In
view of all these advancements the ap.
pie industry is becoming greater and
the United States and Canada are the
principal commercial apple districts.
The great needs of the industry are
the Standardization of crates and pack
ages, better organization and the estab
lishment of a bureau of statistics BY
means of which we can keep informed
of the approximate size and quality OF
the crop. 1t is only by producing high
class fruit for fresh use and by devel
oping factories to convert the inferior
grades into valuable by-products that
the industry can be placed upon 8
permanently safe and prosperous foun
dation.

CHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF
LIME-SULPHUR SPRAY.

DDS is the subject of report by Pro-
fessor H. V. Tartar, agricultural chem
list at the Oregon Station, in research
Bulletin No. 8, just issued. The edi.
tion is limited to 5000 copies, because
its technical purpose and nature rem
der it of special value only to research
workers, agricultural scientists and
science writer's.
The purpose of the bulletin is to set
forth fully the work of the Station on
the chemistry of the lime sulphur solu.
ton. Most of the available literature
on the composition, properties and eff
fects of this spray is founded on field
experiments and general use, and COM
|paratively little information of the ex.
act nature of the chemicals resulting
from the mixture has been published.
In this bulletin experiments have been
made with varying ratios of ingredients,
different methods of combining them
in solution, and the effect of adding
substances other than lime, sulphur and
water. The solutions were then tested
for their chemical components. The
actual composition of several CONNER.
eial preparations of lime sulphur are
given in tabular form, together with
calculated ratios of lime to sulphur in
preparation.
The advantages Of securing the in
formation developed by the expert
ments and tests are evident. In field
work lime, sulphur and water, and oc
casionally other Ingredients, were pour.
ed together and sprayed over vegeta.
ton, often in the belief that merely
lime, sulphur water and the other sub
stances, were the only things applied
to it. Some persons knew that there
were new compounds formed, but few
if any, knew precisely what they were
Effects were studied, but when unsatis
factory the reasons were not clear. A,
least some of the unknown facts have
been brought out in this report, and
they will be of great value to those
trained to understand them, especially
to those engaged in the commercial
manufacture of lime-sulphur sprays.
Because of the technical nature Of
the bulletin its circulation will be con
fined to those specially interested, t.
the public press and to libraries. Thos,
entitled to one or more copies may Sc
cure them by writing to the Expert
ment Station, Corvallis, Oregon.

OREGON DAIRY RECORDS PRoPoR-

THE supremacy of Oregon as dairy
state has frequently been asserted
by the dairy department of the
Agricultural College and is rapidly be-

in certain parts of the state. The num-

relatively small in comparison with the
number in the United States, yet the
number Of cows in the Jersey breed
that have made noteworthy records is
very large percentage of the number
in the whole country.

Tragic Death
Of Cleopatra.

A Roman soldier brusquely enters

ing the death sentence of Octavius-
She plucks the serpent from the
basket and applies it to her breast,
saying:

but in thy triumph Cleopatra shall
not walk This only doth Egypt ask
of Caesar-that he suffer her to lie in
the tomb of Antony. FAREWELL"
The departure of the Romans and
their landing in Egypt. their mid
night march and surprise attack on
the Egyptians is all visualized by the
camera with g. beauty and charm
hardly conceivable. The suicide of
Antony and death of Cleopatra by the
sting of the asp, together with the
triumphant return of Octavius to
Rome, are all shown with consum-
mate art. The story is one of charm
and spectacular beauty, and has no
