Refugee Reports 137 Murders
In venezuelan Settlement.
Armed Band Of Drunken Rebels
Plumber Freely and Kill All
Who Oppose Them.

Manaos, Brazil-A motor launch has
arrived here with refugees from the
rubber colony Of the Territori de Am
azona, Venezuela, telling Of 17s muir
ders there in the last few months and
confirming stories Of atrocities brought
here by Michael j. Gilleran, an Amer
lean refugee who had been ordered to
be shot and who escaped in q canoe,
making the trip here through several
hundred miles of the Rio Negro.
Refugees arriving here tell Of .
reign OF terror and anarchy in the
rubber colony. A rebel force has been
organized under General Gonzales and
all who are suspected Of being opposed
to him are shot.
The latest crimes include the muir
der of eight women and four young
girls in the rubber territory between
San Fernando de Atabapo, on the
Orinoco, and San Carlos de Rio Negro.
1t is believed here that these women
and girls were put to death because it
was feared they would escape and
spread to the world news of the hor-
rors being committed in the colony.
It is believed they were members Of
the families of men who already had
been murdered.
This condition of anarchy and MUIR
der has been brought to the attention
of President Gomez, Of Venezuela, but
no troops have been sent to oppose the
rebels.
The most atrocious murder was that
on May 8 last, Of General Roberto
Pulido and 26 men and boys at San
Fernando. Mr.. Gilleran tells thrill
ing story Of this butchery.
General Pulido was appointed gov
ernor by President Gomez few weeks
BEFORE" he said. 1.-THE traders wait
ed on him and tried to make terms,
but he told them he would accept no
bribery, that the export taxes would
have to be paid and that lawlessness
must cease. From that minute he
was marked man, as was General
Antonio Varella, whom President
Gomez had sent to the colony in charge
Of customs.
"The traders gathered about so men
into house in San Fernando and filled
them with rum and at z o'clock in the
evening armed them with rifles, re-
volvers and knives and turned them
loose. The house in which General
Pulido had taken quarters was attack
ed and the governor and 26 others
were murdered in the butchery that
followed.
'sThe house was plundered of all
valuables and late that night trench
was dug and the ~ bodies thrown into
it and covered. Among the murdered
was the governors brother"

Eastern Markets.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
pear markets offer a
wonderful opportunity for Western
growers, according to the observations
of Professor c. I. Lewis, horticulture
list of the Oregon Agricultural College,
who has made an extended investi-
cation of Eastern market conditions.
He visited the leading cities of the
Middle West, the East, and New Eng
land, and found a good deal Of West
ern pears on the markets, with strong
demands. The pear market is like
wise quite free from the speculation
that controls apple prices.
"But there are two things to be
done before Western growers fully
reap the benefits of the Eastern pear
trade" said Professor Lewis. "There
must be greater care in selecting and
handling the pears, and more wide and
systematic advertising. I purchased
pears from Fruiterers in Chicago, New
York and Boston, and found that
much of the fruit was distinctly in.

Nitrogen From PIowed Under Legumes
Oregon Agricultural College, Corvai
lis.-"A heavy crop of vetch or crim'
son clover turned under as a green
manure affords more heterogeneous mat
ter than the same amount OF stable
MANURE" said Professor H. ID. Scud-
der, agronomist of the Oregon agrl-
cultural college. "The green crop IS
likewise more free from disease germs
and weed seed than the stable prod
uct. It is cheaper, too, if the cost OF
labor is considered. And it's ef1ects
in producing acids in the soil are put
little greater than those OF stable
manure.
1.-THE acid effects, whether caused
by the stable, manure or the green
manure, may call for the use OF lime.
Certain it is that if lime is to be used
it may well be used in connection
with the green manure. The present
prices of quick lime make its use al
most prohibitive, but it ought to De
possible to secure ground limestone
at reasonable prices in the near Iu-
ture. There are mountains of lime
stone in southern Oregon, and 1t Is
hoped that companies will be organic
ed to grind the rock and put the prod
uct on the market in time for next
seasons crops. Ordinarily not more
than So per ton can be paid for ground
limestone, if it is profitable invest
ment. But the acid-forming action OF
green manures is not serious enough
to deter us from using these great
soil builders, while awaiting lime
supply.
''The crop to be used as green ma
nure should have grown to height OF
20 inches or more, and should yield
not less than ten tons to the acre. 1t
must be turned under early in April
and thoroughly chopped up and incor-
porated with the soil by disking, both
before and after blowing, if the best
results are to be obtained. Other
wise it decays slowly, releases its
plant food too late, and dries out the
soil. 1t should be followed by culti-
waited crops, such as potatoes, corn,
roots, etc., as they secure the highest
values from either green or stable
manure, being what may be called
gross feeders.
"The actual fertilizing value of ten
tons of crimson clover or vetch, green
weight, is shown by analysis to be
about as follows: Nitrogen 100
pounds, phosphorus 20 pounds, and
potassium 120 pounds. The value of
the nitrogen is $24, and the value of
all the fertilizers contained in the
crop is $32 at fertilizer prices in east
ern markets.
There is enough nitrogen in the
ten tons of clover, or vetch, green
weight, to produce 100 bushels Of
wheat, 1900 bushels of apples, 5000
pounds of beef, 10000 pounds of pork,
or 100000 pounds of butter. The fer
tilizing effects extend through a long
period of years. Aside from the plant
food value, the green manure has
highly beneficial physical effects on
the soil.
"The amount of plant food contain
ed in a crop of vetch is practically
as great as that contained in the Glow
er. In both crops, from 60 to 80 per
cent of the nitrogen comes from the
air, and practically all of it is a gain
to the soil"

ington. The following citation is tax
en- from the report:
'The cost of living is a problem
which concerns everyone. 1t is Gus
tomary to lay the blame on economic
conditions, and on them alone; but a
part of the trouble lies in the lack
of proper apportionment of the income
and in the lack of ideals and stand
ards of living. The only practical
remedy yet provided is education in
true standards of living, in what con
stitutes better homes, more comfort
able conditions, and in clear percep
lions of those tendencies toward more
imitation and luxury which lead to
degeneration of mind and body"
In citing classification of living
there are enumerated, food, clothing
housing, operating expense; and oil
vision of expenditure looking to the
qualification and betterment OF the
intellectual and, spiritual nature. Food
is asserted to be the most important
factor in the outlay for living. The
first motive of clothing is, or sh0uio
be. protection from heat and cold, as
contrasted with the too prevalent de
sire to crafty and please the world Al
