MUIR
BRINGS PARASITE
FROM THE Orient

Also Trio of Enemies
of Japanese Beetle

Hawaii's contribution to scientific
knowledge of cane production bids fair
to be given an important supplement
with the return of Frederick W. Muir,
| the noted entomologist attached to
the planters experiment station. Leay.
| ing here last March. he has spent
nineteen months travelling in Japan
Formosa. the Philippines and Java.
and brings back a parasite TO fight a
troublesome BEETLE known rs the Ano-
maIa orientalis, which has in some
past years done much damage IL sugar
cane in these islands 'rhe parasite
is the tiphia. of the wasp family. which
destroys the beetle by SINGING its grub
and depositing its own eggs therein.
In addition to this beneficial insect,
three natural enemies of tho Japanese
beetle, the pest that has made rose
culture almost extinct IN Hawaii were
discovered by Mr.. Muir in his travels.
My special work. said Mr. Muir
this morning, was hunting for para
site for the Anomala beetle. and. sec.
ondly, for q parasite for the Japan
csc beetle. succeeded in getting a
little wasp that parasites the Anoma-
la. but cannot tell what the results
will be for perhaps another twelve
months. This parasite was found in
both Japan and Formosa.
I'm Java got three good para
sites for the japanese beetle One is
a little wasp, the other two are para
site fies. Possibly ] have one Of
these parasites back alive. Coming IN
from Java we got into the end OF a
typhoon, which spoiled connections at
Hongkong and consequently nearly all
of them died. Yes, we know where to-
get them now. and think that with
time and ceFtain amount of expense.

Mr.. Muir had no adventures In con-
nection with wars embargoes to re-
port. Asked about the political sit
uation in the Philippines, he said that
the white people were divided be-
tween Republicans and Democrats the
same as here, one side failing to see
any good in the other side. With re-
gard to the natives, they are all prac-
tically home rulers.
A reference to the success that
seems to be attending the importation
OF fruit fly parasites here brought an
expression of enthusiastic apprecia-
ton from the en.omologist. He con-
siders the results so far evident after
the initial campaign of twelve months
and the latter one of only six months.
especially in view of the fact that fruit
countries all ove the world have been
looking for the same thing, a matter
Of great credit to the territory and of
congratuIation to Mr. Giffard. who has

ditions.

CUIMENT CONFIDENT AS
TITLE PLAY IS STARTED

Sandwich, Eng, May 1S.-The eyes
of the world Of sport in general, and
the world of golf in particular, were
eentered today on the historic links
here, when play commenced for the
British Amateur Golf Championship.
This years. entry broke all records
more than 200 competitors having sent
in their names and announced their in
tention of defending the title against
Francis Cuimet, the American open
champion, and other American cracks
The American competitors included
Jerome d. Travers, last years United
States champion, Fred Herreshoff, A..
G. Lockwood (Cuimet's friend and
counseller), and Charles "Chick'D
Evans of Chicago, but well known as
these players are on the English links,
the star performer was easily young
Cuimet, who gained such a sensational
victory over the english professionals,
VardOn and Ray, in the American Open
Championship at Brookline, Mass, last
fall.
Great crowds followed the young
iBostonian, who laughinely pointed out
that he was no longer the "boy won

SALEMITES PLAN TO ATTEND
EUGENE COMMONWEALTH DAY

Preparations are being made for a
number of Salem residents to attend
the Commonwealth day exercises at
the University of Oregon from May
27 to May 30. A program has been
arranged this year which promises to
eclipse the former efforts of the uni
versity authorities and will doubtless
be of interest to the people of the
state at large. The Commonwealth
Day exercises are held annually at the
U. of 0. The purpose is to devote the
learning and resources of the university
to the discussion of problems which eff
feet the people of the state. Speakers
representing the grange, labor unions,
business interests, financial world poll
tical world, civic and municipal af-
fairs, child welfare and all other lines
of advancement, will be on hand to de-
liver speeches, and after each speech
the meeting is thrown open for dis
cussions and questions, which may be
answered by the specialists on the
subject who are in attendance.
The Salem crowd will probably at
tend in a special car provided for the
occasion, and reduced rates will be al.
lowed from all points in the state.

PREPARATION OF CORN GROUND
(By Luther ]. Chaplin. county agricul-
turist, Marion county, Ore.)

Little attention has been given, by
farmers in general, to corn growing in
the Willamette valley as it has been
generally believed that corn could not
be uccessfully grown here. The ex-
perience OF many farmers for the past
Cen or more years, both on the river
bottoms and on the hills, has proven
quite conclusively, however, that corn
can usually be grown and matured in
this part Of Oregon.
The chief cause of the general fall
ure to mature corn mas been that un-
acelimated seed has been used, seed
procured from some eastern seed house,
while the successes have been due, in
part, at least to the use of home grown
seed. Methods of .tillage have also
contributed largely to these failures as
well as to the successes.
Corn, like most other agricultural
crops, thrives best in a well-draincd
soil. According to Hunt, the waite
table may be within three feet of the
surface in order that an abundance of
water may be supplied to the roots at
all times. Although corn is not re-
garded as an exhaustive crop, it re-
qurcs fertile soil--one we'll supplied
with organic matter. For this reason
it does well on a clover sod. This may
also he supplemented by 10 or 10 tons
of barnyafd manure per acre. Where
clover sod is not az ailable it is espe-
cially desirable to apply the manure.
| This helps in holding moisture and sup
D ,1,h MA
sary to the maximum development of
corn.
Value of Manure Shown.
Indiana bulletin So, page 29 gives
! the following account which shows the
value of manure in corn moisture:
"The Indiana station manured for two
years a series of alternate plats which
had grown maize continuously for five
wears, with fresh horse manure amount
ing for two years to about 30 tons per
acre. No manure was used before or
since. During IL years the average
yield was nearly ten bushels rer acre
moro on the manured than ON the un-
manudcr plats, and on the last year
of the period was nearly five bushels
greater"
For best results the manure should be
spread over the meadow in the fall and
the land either fall or winter plowed,
leaving it as rough as possible until
spring, wnen it should be worked down
with spring tooth or disc harrow and
then narrowed occasionally until plant
ing time. If the land is spring -plowed
great care must be taken to work the
furrow slice down to avoid leaving air
chambers to dry ont the soil.
Limo has been profitably used on
corn ground in many eastern and south
orn states and would doubtless prove
of benefit on the acid soils of western
Oregon. II would be especially bene.
ficial on land that has been literally
manured.

HOPGROWERS PLAN
BIG ANTI DRY FIGHT
Organization Said to Have No Connec-
tion with Saloon Interests-I,.opose
to Hold Mass Meetings.

The members of the Oregon. Hop
Growers and Dealers Association com
pleted the business which came before
them at the meeting held last Saturday
in the offices of T. A. Liv sley & Co.,
in this city, and officers were elected
to supervise the fight which the hop
men are going to make against the
statewide prohibition movement.
Hal V. Bolam, one of the leading
Salem hop merchants, gave out the fol
lowing interview after the meeting Sat.
urday:
"This is the perfecting of an organ.
ization which started at meeting of
hopmen held in Portland several DAYS
ago. 1t is not our purpose to antago.
nlze temperance people. The organiza-
tion has no connection with the saloon
or other liquor interests.
"The hop industry in this state rep
resents more than $6,000,OOO and our
association would consider it fatal to
the state to see the industry swept
away. Over Jealous legislation, such as
would put the state in the dry column
would be great blow.
We propose to hold mass meetings
in every hOp'growing section between
now and the election with a view to
enlightening the voters in a dispas
sionate way who may labor under mis-
conceptions as to the scope and the ex
tent of the industry.
"Should Oregon go dry an enormous
advantage would be given the Other
states voting on the question and the
brewers naturally would patronize hop
