Some Harmful External
Parasites Of Poultry

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis External parasites frequently
cause heavy poultry losses, and poul-
trymen should quarantine their focks
against them. Special methods are
required for the control of the various
kinds Of pests, but certain general
measures are often advisable.
One of the best general methods is
fumigation. While not very effective
against many of the external para
sites, it should be employed for it's
great sanitary value. 1t is conven-
iently applied by slipping tent that
has been treated with linseed oil or
|carbolineum over the colony chicken
house and weighing down the sides
with little dirt. The fumes are then
applied, after which the tent is re-
moved to the next house, and so on.
An account of the special methods
for most Of the common poultry para
sites is given in College Bulletin
"Some External Parasites of Poul-
try" written by DR.. II. E. Ewing, re-
search assistant at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college. Free copies may be
had by sending for them to R. D. Het-
eel, Extension director. Corvallis, Ore.

Mexican Dictator Alleged to Be
Seeking American Envoy.
penort Is That He Would Reopen
NEGOTIATIONS With u. S.-Rich
Bankers Are Called On.

Mexico City-Forced by the increas-
mo seriousness of the situation in
M Me from financial rather than a
Military standpoint, however, Presi-
don't Huerta at last appears to be
roady to resume negotiations with
1obn Lind, President Wilson's person
81 representative, which we're broken
If last August, if reports current in
the capital are true.
The minister of foreign affairs, Jose
ropez Portillo y Rojas, has been di-
rected to reopen the unofficial diplo-
matte exchanges with Mr.. Lind, ac-
cording to the report here, and for
that purpose went to Vera Cruz We'd
nesdav. Whether he will meet Mr..
Lind at Vera Cruz Or at some point
further removed from the general pub
lie is not known.
Every effort has been made to keep
the meeting a secret and should it for
any reason fail to take place the gov
eminent would be in a position to fall
back on the explanation already given,
that the minister is taking the trip to
celebrate his saints day, and color is
given to this by the fact that he was
accompanied by his wife and other
members of his family.
President Huerta summoned to the
national palace 60 of the wealthiest
Mexicans residing in the capital and
minated that indirect financial sup
port would be highly agreeable, in
view of the vigorous campaign he pro-
poses to inaugurate against the rebels.
He reminded them that a decree is
sued several months ago calling own
ers of haciendas to equip and maintain
ten men for purposes of defense had
never been complied with and he
urged them now to do this.
Such compliance would mean, ac-
cording to the official figures, the
maintenance of about 500, 900 men, as
it is estimated that there are 81, 600
haciendas and smaller ranches within
the federal Jurisdiction.

Farm Assistant Policy
Making Healthy Growth

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-That fear of the farm assist
ant idea growing too fast is unwar-
ranted is the belief Of Professor Fl. T.
French, state leader of farm assist
ants for the College Extension divis-
ion. He calls attention to the recent
statement that the growth is healthy
and has only just begun, made by
President Waters, Of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college, who continues as
follows:
"Of six or seven hundred counties
in the United States that have tried
the farm assistant idea, not one has
discontinued the plan. The farm az.
sistant has not only proven himself in
dispensable, but he has shown the pos
sibility of carrying the demonstration
idea still further. I am confident that
in the course Of a few years the more
progressive counties will have assist
ants for each Of the more important
branches of farming followed in those
counties.

Quake Kills Hundreds;
Does Great Damage

Toxic = A serious earthquake oc-
CURED in the prefecture of Akita,
Island of Hondo. Several persons in
the city of Akita were killed and
many houses destroyed. In the village
Of Kowakubi, which was ruined, there
were many casualties.
The volcano Asama Yama, 80 miles
northwest of Toxic, is in eruption.
Full details of the disaster have not
been received. due to the interruption
Of communication. Sixty bodies were
found in the basin of the Omono river,
where 800 houses were destroyed. The
village Of Kitameno was burned.
AS result of the earthquake cop
per mine at Tsunmdato collapsed.
The fate of the 800 workmen in the
mine is unknown.
Simultaneously with the earthquake
came explosions and the bursting Of
flames from the volcano Asama Yama,
which terrified the inhabitants.

Assassination Of Editor
Stirs French People

Paris-Not since the Dreyfus affair
has any event in French history 20
stirred the imagination Of the French
people as the shooting Of CASTOR Cal
mette, editor Of Figaro, by Nine.
Caillaux, the wife Of the minister Of
finance. The immediate effect is q
tense political situation, all the great
er in view Of the imminence Of the
elections.
NJ. Caillaux, broken in spirit. has
resigned from his post and the cabinet
was subjected to several changes. The
lobbies are seething with all sorts Of
reporters and the resignation Of
Ernest E. Monis, minister Of marine.
and even the whole cabinet, is ru-
mored.
The most reliable opinion seems to
indicate that while the elimination of
Nd. Monis is possible, the resignation
OF the ministry is far from likely, the
deputies being unanimous that the
budget must pass before the elections.
Among parliamentarians the affair
is considered as a great and unexpect-
ed boon to the anti-Republican party,
which will not fail to exploit it to the
utmost with the object of discrediting
the government at the elections.
Throughout the day crowds assem-
bled around the Caillaux residence,
the Figaro Office and Saint Lazare
prison, where Nine. Caillaux occupies
q cell. For the most part the crowds
were composed of curious spectators,
although many rowdies circulated and
attempted hostile demonstrations. The
police, however, had no difficulty in
handling them and made many arrests.

Pure Bred Scrubs.

In the present enormous demand for
pure bred stock there is said to be q
market for every animal, good, bad,
and Indifferent, that can show a pedi-
gree. There are evidently pure bred
scrubs, and if one of them is placed at
the head Of a dairy herd production
will grow less rather than more. A
herd cannot be graded up by an infer
Tor sire, according to Professor
Graves, head of the Agricultural col
lege dairy department, no matter how
imposing his pedigree. Pedigree and
good conformation are to be sought,
but not at the expense of bred-for-
production qualities. A milk-pfoduc-
tive ancestry is evidence that the sire
will transmit these qualities to his
daughters; a heavy milking progeny
is proof that he will. Buyers may
we'll look at the conformation, exam
inc the pedigree, but they should
study the milk records of his kin be-
fore purchasing head for the herd.

MEXICANS RAID.
CUSTOM HOUSE
Kill American Postmaster and
Burn American Flag.
Postoffee Looted and General Store
Robbed-Mexicans Jeer Az
Ruins Are Searched.

San Diego, Cal.-The United States
customs Office and postoffice at Tecate,
45 miles from this city, on the Ameri-
can side Of the international boundary,
were destroyed by FIRE Sunday night,
following raid. Eyewitnesses said
the raiders were Mexicans.
Frank v. Johnston, Of San Diego,
postmaster at Tecate, was shot to
death when he resisted the bandits
and his companion, Warren Didien-
back, was wounded. The charred
remnants of an American flag was
found at daybreak when q posse start
ed on the trail Of the desperadoes.
The customs Office and postoffice oc-
cupied parts Of the general store oper-
ated by Mountain Brothers. The
bandits, it was proved later, were
bent on robbing both Of the govern
ment Offices. Johnston was shot when
he refused to give the combination Of
the safe.
Johnston g torso was found in the
smouldering ruins. An autopsy devel-
oped the fact that he had been shot
through the heart. His pistol was
found not far from the body.
Elliott D. Johnston, the dead mans
brother, has sent kilograms to Secre-
tary of State Bryan, Governor John
son and Representative William Kett-
ner, at Washington, demanding q
thorough investigation. In his tele-
gram to Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Johnston
placed the entire responsibility for
the affair on Mexicans.
Bitter feeling prevails along the
border as q result of the outrage, and
this feeling was intensified later when
crowd of jeering Mexicans watching
the search Of the ruins objected to
Fred Vollmer, q newspaper photo
grapher, taking their pictures. When
the photographer, standing on the
American side Of the boundary, con-
tinued working his camera, one Of the
Mexicans deliberately fired at him. In
an instant the posse that had made .
futile all-night search for the bandits,
leveled their guns at the Mexicans and
for several minutes an open battle ap-
peared inevitable. The photographers
was not wounded.
Major Davis, commander at Fort
Rosecrans, San Diego, with several
officers and platoon Of men, left for
Tecate in automobiles. Major Davis
said he would conduct rigid exam
nation in behalf of the War depart
ment. The affair, he said, would be
repor ted Immediately to the depart
ment commander at San Francisco.

Narrowing Scenes AZ
Big Store Is Closed

New York--The Fourteenth-street
store and that Of the Simpson Crav-
ford company, properties Of Henry
Siegel and Frank E. Vogel, under in
dictment in connection with the fall
ure Of the Siegel private bank and
mercantile enterprises, closed their
doors Saturday night by order Of the
Federal court in response to q peti-
tion by receivers and creditors.
But for the assistance promised by
other department stores and by char
ity workers and employment agencies.
$500 men, women and children would
be thrown out of work. Most of these
have promises Of jobs, however, and
others, it is expected, will find places
before another week is out.
Aisles crowded with patrons seeking
last-hour bargains, the arrest of few
shoplifters, the appearance Of organ
izers Of the Industrial Workers of the
World, the reported presence Of agents
Of questionable employment bureaus
offering girls work, and the hysterical
weeping of women who had lost their
savings in the Siegel bank were Incl
dents that attended the closing of the
stores.
!, Printed lists of reputable employ
ment agencies and respectable board
ing houses were distributed among the
women and girls by social workers
who had been informed representa-
tives of white slave agents were ming
ling with the discharged employees.
Hand bills bearing "A Call to the
Unemployed" to organize. were dis
tributed, inviting clerks and shopgirls
to attend an /. w. w. mass meeting.
Workers of the Girls Protective lea
que urged the employees not to attend
the I. w. w. meeting.
Several men who attempted to make
street-corner addresses to the depart
ing employees advised them to steal
bread if they got no opportunity to
earn it.
A committee representing the de-
positors in the Siegel bank called on
the attorneys of Siegel and Vogel and
was informed that the partners had
not prepared a new offer of settlement
as the depositors had been told.
"In view of the present turn the
case has taken it would be impossible
for us to make any Offer" said Louis
S. Levy, of counsel. I'VE do not
want to hold up the hopes of the de-
positors only to shatter them. We
will not countenance the offer of bad
securities, and the depositors can rest
assured that whatever is offered with
our sanction will be bona fide."

s-Ridden Lawns.

The serious inroads made by moss
on lawns is best controlled by sowing
special shady -lawn mixtures in those
hooks and corners Of the lawn that are
densely. shaded. The ordinary lawn
grasses lose their vigor under these
conditions and are crowded out by
winter MOSES that flourish there. The
moss dries up later and can be raked
Of and burned. Light applications Of
air-slacked lime are recommended by
Professor A. L. Peck, landscape gar
den specialist at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college This treatment is not
expected to kill the moss, but it in
vigorates the grass which is thus en-
abled to struggle successfully against
|ite enemy.

Many Fruits on Few Trees.

All the fresh fruit you want during
most of the year, grown on few
trees in small back lots and similar
areas, is the latest offer Of science
toward lower cost Of living. Ac-
cording to plans worked out by Pro-
fessor C. I. Lewis, o. A. C. horticul-
turist, two or more varieties Of ap-
Piles, pears, cherries land plums, may
be grown on single stock tree for
each species. Mr.. Lewis has worked
out schemes of varieties that may be
grated onto the stock tree, so that
they will pollinate and grow in perfect
concord, each variety supplying par
ticular need at the proper season. The
trees are trained to fit their surround
ings and occupy the space allotted and
not more. Shade loving bush and vine
fruits are planted under the trees,
while vegetables that flourish in shade
are planted between the rows.
Drainage Best Remedy
for Alkali In Soils
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-S Since drainage prevents al
kali in soils from coming to the sur
face, drainage is the most successful
method of retaining alkali soils,
said M. A. Mccall, farm assistant of
Klamath county in addressing the O.
A. G. Extension course at Klamath
Falls. Indeed it is coming to be
generally recognized that land that is
badly alkaline cannot be wholly re-
claimed by any other means. If the
water that holds alkali in solution is
allowed to stand and evaporate on the
field, the alkali is bound to be deposit
ed.
There are other things, however,
that will help. Manure properly add
ed to the soil will tend to neutralize
the alkali, and land plaster will change
black alkali to white, a less harmful
form -

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

Since Mr.. Taylor and Miss Daniels
have announced their plan of rota-
ton stock, the management of the To-
cal playhouse has been besieged with
the question, What does rotation
stock mean?" In looking at our
Webster Unabridged, we find that ro-
tation means the 'act of turning"
So it would seem that the exD anation
in his instance is, THE act of return
ing each week." meaning thai the
stock company will return to the city
on the same evening each week, with
a new play. We have seen the list
of plays that the management has in
store for theatre-goers, and they are
all good, including many of the late
New York successes.
Knowing we'll, the ability of Mr..
Taylor and Miss Daniels from past
performances, We prophesy that the
theatre-goers have treat in store for
them every week during the coming
season.
The selection of the opening play
is wise one. "The Spendthrift, :"
is great play, bringing out moral
that is of great interest to every
American. The play was written by
Porter Emerson Brown, a young
newspaper man from Los Angeles.
This young man has shown an in
sight of life that you would scarcely
expect to find in man of his years.
An excellent vein of comedy runs
throughout the play.
In speaking of this play, President
Smith of the Mormon church said,
1T is a play, every wife and mother
should see." Mr.. Smith saw the per-
Torrance at the Orpheum theatre in
Salt Lake when it was presented by
Willard Mack, with Florence Stone
and B. Forrest Taylor in the cast.
"The Spendthrift" will be present.
ed at the Isis theatre, Tuesday, Oc-
tober 27, and will be the opening
performance of The Taylor-Daniels
company in rotation stock. adv. AL
