Rea Martin Oliver Morosco's
Youngest "fnd" will be seen here
next Monday night at the Grand
opera house in the title role of
''Peg Only Heart" Miss Martin
first saw the light of day at little
village in the north of Scotland.
When a ''wee bit of a lass" her
parents returned to Dublin, Ireland
where her girlhood and school
days we're spent. Miss Martin is
a true type of Erin, with her beau
tiful auburn hair and eyes of Irish
blue. BY birth and early environ
ment, she is naturally fitted to
portray the fair colleen in the now
famous play.
Before coming to America Miss
Martin appeared for two years
with marked attention in the
Music Halls of London and the
continent. Her initial success in
this country was with Max Figman
as "Marv Jane'' IN "Mary James
Pa", and later as 'Little NelF' in
1.-The Old Curiosity Shop. For
two years prior to her association
with Mr.. Morosco, she was a
member of the famous stock Or

Rights Abolished
By State Troops

Denver, Dec. Unconstitutional
rights were abolished by Colorado
state troops when they went into the
coal strike zone, declared Prof. James
H. Brewster of the University of
Colorado, testifying before the fed
eral Commission on Industrial Re-
lations here today. The entire con-
duct of the state troops was a course
of outrage and brutality, Prof. Brews-
ter asserted. Not only had adjt.
Gen. Chase wiped out constitutional
rights, but the miners had been rob-
bed by the troops, he said, the militia
had been swelled by the enlistment
of "scoundrels' and the right of
search had been exercised by the
troops while the courts were opened.
Prof Brewster was attorney for
the United Mine Workers before the
congressional committee that in
vestigated the coal strike and was
chairman of the state Federation of
Labor Committee that investigated
the strike in December, 1912.

ed almost exactly with the numbers in
the Hermiston sample.
The Moro sample showed slightly
more than two million normally pres
ent, and the treatment with lime did
not affect the original number either
way.
There were about three million bac-
terra normally present in the beaver
dam soil, and at the end Of four weeks
treatment with lime there were about
four million present.
In the peat samples there were
nearly three million bacteria normally
present, and after the lime treatment
there were four and one-half million
present.
1t is thus seen that acid soils and
soils with large amount of organic
matter make heavy increase in the
number Of soil bacteria they contain
by applications of lime, and that soils
high in lime content and low in or
ganic matter are not materially affect
ed in bacterial content by lime treat
ment.
The relation between the number Of
bacteria in the soil and the ammonify-
ing power Of the soil has not been
definitely settled, but experiments con-
Quoted in connection with the bacteria
experiments seem to show that il is
close and important. The amount Of
ammonia present in soils that had had
their bacterial content increased was
increased at an almost equal and uni
form rate in some cases, while in 9TH
er samples it was not increased either
so largely or so uniformly. But that
the relation of these two elements of
soil fertility has an important bear
ing on the fertility of soil seems well
established.
The whole series Of experiments
performed in these soil studies will do
much to define the limits of profitable
application Of lime TO the fields Of Ore
gon, and incidentally determine the
time, manner and extent of applica-
tions. Coming at a time when inter-
est in lining soils is exceptionally
keen, the report should be very help
full to the individual farmer when he
considers the question Of lining his
lands.

Lime Is ShODn to Benefit
NearLy All OregOn Soils

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Lime increases the number of
soil bacteria in certain types of soil,
while it either does not affect or else
reduces the number in other types.
These important facts, which have an
intimate relation to the question of
soil fertility, were secured in n series
OF experiments conducted by the de-
partment of bacteriology and chem
lstry at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. A report of the experiment has
been published in Station Bulletin No.
llS by the experiment station, and
copies may be had free of cost by all
residents of the state who send in a
request for them.
The bulletin was written by T. D.
Beckwith, bacteriologist, and A. F..
Vass and R. H. Robinson, research as
sistants, who conducted the expert
ments upon which it is based. The
purpose of the experiments was to
learn something Of the kinds and num-
ber of bacteria in few widely differ
ent types of Oregon soils, and the
effect of lime and of water upon these
numbers. Also to determine the am
monifying power of these soils with
varying moisture content in order to
learn the best possible condition.

and experiments were to make a COM
parison of the ammonifying and nitri-
flying powers of the six types of soils
selected for the tests, and to correlate
the number of bacteria present and the
amounts of ammonia and nitrate nitro
gen produced. Effects of soil acidity
and of lime upon ammoniication and
nitrification were likewise observed.
Much has recently been said in re-
gard to the physical and the chemical
effects of lime upon soils. The first
two effects are disposed of in order to
clear the field for the experiments as
follows:
Lime focculates the finest particles
of soil and promotes granular struc-
ture. 1t improves the tilth, increases
aeration, and improves the water cir
culation. Lime is supposed to in
crease porosity in light, sandy soils
and so increase the water holding
power.
Chemical effects of lime in soils
are as liberating agents Of unavailable
plant food, changing il to soluble,
available plant food. It neutralizes
acids and keeps the soil in an alkaline
condition. Leaching may also be pre-
vented, since the acids Of humus sub
stances is somewhat soluble, while
their lime compounds are compara-
lively insoluble.
"The biological effects are due TO
the fact that lime is an essential ele-
ment of all the higher plants and prob
ably of all the lower forms. 1t cor
rects the acid condition of the soil,
which causes diminished food supply,
and has direct physiological effect on
the plants themselves, promoting that
neutral or slightly alkaline condition
which is most favorable TO most culti-
waited plants. Lime aids the growth
of many kinds of bacteria. especially
those which convert organic nitrogen
to nitrates and those that assimilate
atmospheric nitrogen"
Six types of soil were selected as
follows:
Type l, a fine, sandy soil from
Hermiston, high in lime content, and
low in organic matter.
Type 2, another sandy soil that was
high in lime and low in organic mat

TEACHING EVE TO OWN LAMB
one Method Is to Take Skin From
Dead Animal and Place Over
Ono to Be Adopted.

(By E. NJ. NELSON, Oregon Exper,men,
Station.)
Nearly every year one lamb or more
dies, even out Of the small flocks that
run on the general farm. In such
cases the ewes may be made STEP
mothers. But of course it will be nee
essary to get the eve to own the
strange lamb. This may be accom-
plished in either of the following
ways:
The skin may be taken from the
dead lamb and placed over the lamb
to be adopted. Ewes recognize their
lambs by the scent, and the odor of
the lamb skin will make the eve be-
lieve that the lamb is her own. The
skin should be removed in about forty.
eight hours. or sooner If necessary.
The eve may be caught and held
every two or three hours for the new
lamb to suck. In a few days, general.
