Camp Condition Good, Says Erwin
Hood River Dec. &. 1911.

Hood River, Dec. s. 1914.
To the Editor: have noticed arti-
cles in the local papers finding fault
with the contractors engaged in build
ing the Columbia highway in Hood
River county. probably know as
much about these people and their
work as anyone and wish to say to you
tht they are alright in every way.
They are saving several thousand dol
lars for Hood River county and pay
their men and bills promptly. They
treat their men we'll, and nationality
does not seem to make any difference
to them, but a man must earn his
money working for them. The only
trouble with a great many men when
they come to get up against the busi-
ness end of a shovel and pick is that 1T
does not agree with them.
AS for feeding the men, | doubt
whether there is family in our coun-
ty who put their feet under better
filled table than these people supply.
have heard the Superintendent tell
his foremen to always give preference
to local people, with the understanding
that each man must earn his money.
| am a citizen and taxpayer IN this
county and think it only fair to tell the
truth about matters that come under
my own observation.
Truly yours,
Joseph Erwin.

D. |. STONE HAS A
WEIRD EXPERIENCE

ID. |. Stone, owner Of a ranch on the
headwaters Of the West Fork. the last
place on the road to Lost Lake. whose
home burned Saturday night, was in
the city Monday morning telling a
weird story Of his experience during
the fire. MIR. Stone was alone at his
home, his family having been in the
city. He sat reading 10 his living room
Saturday night, when the fire 10 his
stove burned low.
81 thought ! would put in more wood
and sit up awhile longer" he said in
relating the experience, land then
decided to let the fire go and turn in.
Everything after that was a weird
dream. ! dimly remember, as though
! we're subconscious at the time, of en-
bers dropping on my bed. After that !
can recall nothing except that ! was
dreaming that my barn was burning"
Sunday morning Mr.. Stones neigh
Dor, Hershey Msrkley, saw smoke from
the ruins of the burned home and has
tened to the scene. He found Mr..
Stone partially clothed, asleep in the
hay in the barn. Ii was with difficulty
that he was awakened, and he remem.
bered nothing of the fire. However,
-four and other articles we're strewn
around the burned building, showing
that he had made frantic efforts to save
as much Of his property as possible.
With a bucket he had drenched the
sides of spring house nearby. The
spring house mad evidently blazed at
one time, for portions of it were
charred. A box of dynamite caps, al
most full, .and enough, had they ex-
ploded to have blown the man into an
unrecogniazble mass, we're found. MIR.
Stone in his sleep had taken them from
the burning house to place of safety.
When found and aroused from bis
deep sleep by his neighbor. Mr.. Stone
was SO fatigued that he could hardly
stand. One of his hands was badly
scratched, although no burns appeared
anywhere on his body. In his efforts
to save his property, his back was
badly wrenched, and he felt the pain of
it Monday.
A small insurance policy was carried
on the destroyed home.

county of the state for his field of
work. He will write such articles per-
taining to happenings about the campus
which may be of interest 20 people Of
his particular county and send them

bulletins. Before being sent to the
various newspapers throughout the
state each article will lbe censored by

On Cooperation
(Fron an Oregonian editorial)

TuD all OISkOuidu cu'sotioit
The contemplated merger of the by
products plants of the North Yakima
valley in single cooperative associa-
ton will benefit that region immensely,
while it will furnish an example and
incentive of the highest value to the
other fruit growing areas of the north
west. The committee also proposes
that the six fruit distributing agencies
of the northwest shall combine, form
ing two only. This would naturally
effect a large saving Of expense and
result in a concentration Of effort which
must prove beneficial in all directions.
If two organizations can do the work
of distribution, why should be support
six?

and thawing so common some seasons.
Lining for alfalfa is absolutely
necessary on practically all Maryland
soils-even in the natural lime stone
sections. 1t makes little or no differ
ence what kind of lime is used if the
proper amount of each is applied. 1t
is a question of cost and ease of hand
ling rather than the effect upon the
alfalfa.
The amount of lime to use under
average conditions is one ton per
acre of caustic lime, that is burnt
stone or lump lime, ground lime or
burnt oyster shells. Hydrated lime
should be used at the rate of 1900
pounds and ground lime stone or
ground oyster shells should be applied
at the rate of 5000 pounds to 2 tons
per acre.
The best time to apply lime is the
season before sowing the alfalfa. If,
however, this is not convenient or i'm
practical, it may be applied just be-
fore, or even after seeding, with the
assurance of good results and no in
jury

Q a 8 TO RIA
Alfalfa Will Thrive
In Many Soils
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Statinr

=
Station.
For number of years the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been testing alfalfa on the various soil
types of the State now under cultiva-
ton. These tests, together with the
successful experience of many farm
ers, have proven beyond doubt, that
under favorable conditions alfalfa can
be grown successfully on practically
all soils of the State.
No soil, regardless of type or loca-
ton in the State, however, will pro-
duce fair crops of alfalfa unless it is
fertile; producing at least 40 to %
bushels Tor 10 barrels) of corn per
acre in a normal season. No amount
of fertilizer applied either before or
after seeding will make up for poor
land at the start Moreover, starting
alfalfa under such conditions is indeed
very expensive. If the land is poor,
it is far meter to wait few years
and grow fertiliZing crops such as
COW peas, crimson clover, soy beans
and red clover in the rotation before
each money crop. If manure is avail
able, the more used the better. In fact
the supply OF organic Hlattel Is very
important factor in the production OF
alfalfa. 1t is seldom that land very
low in humus grows alfalfa success
fully.
Drainage must be good. Alfalfa re-
quires much more complete drainage
than other farm crops. Land inclined
to be wet and springy in winter and
early spring, although dry enough
during the growing season to pro-
duce good crops of corn, wheat, oats
and grass, is not drained well enough
for alfalfa. On such land alfalfa is
sure to be killed out sooner or later by
heaving due to the frequent freezing
