should be applied Immediately be-
fore or at the time Of seeding. 1t a
wheat drill is used to SOW the grass
seed the two operations may be
combined. A wheelbarrow seeder
is used to good advantage where an
even distribution of seed is desired.
The seed may be divided into two
parts and a portion sown in each
direction. When grass seed is
broadcasted a spike-tooth harrow
should be used to lightly cover the
seed.
The time of seeding will vary, de-
pending on soil and weather condi-
tions, but the period from the 18th
Of august until the 5th of Septem-
Der, is generally favorable for sum-
mer seeding. There should be plen-
ty of moisture in the soil at the
time of seeding. Nothing is gained
by seeding on dry soil. Grass and
clover seed will come promptly if
sown after a thorough rain.
The suggestions given above in
regard to soil preparation and to
time of seeding will apply to any
sort Of grass seeding, either for hay,
pasture or lawn.
Where the grass crop is not to be
kept down for more than year or
two the most satisfactory mixture
is that Of timothy, red clover and
alsike clover. For most soils it is
better to mix the clovers rather
than use either one alone. On good
grain land where it is desired to
rotate the crops promptly the best
general mixture will contain about
the following proportions: Timothy
IL lbs. or about 8 qts.; red clover,
lbs or about 4 qts. ; alsike, 2 lbs.
II about l at.
If the land is to be kept in grass
or more than two years, a little
more alsike may be used, and some
ed top, as follows: Timothy, 10 lbs.
II about 7 OUTS. red top, B lbs. or
bout 3 qts. -; red clover, 6 lbs. or
bout 3 qts. alsike clover, 3 lbs. or
bout l 1-2 qts.
The above mixtures are intended
or fairly well drained lands that
re rotated. For rather wet lands {
yhich are to be kept in grass the
aeding mixture should contain {
lore red top and alsike in the place t
{ portion Of the red clover. For i
ornament pasture a greater varie- &
Y Of grasses may be. For ordinary
onditions the following mixture c
suggested for an acre of ground: t
lue grass, 10 lbs. timothy, s lbs. I
ed top, 3 lbs. orchard grass, 4 lbs. !
ed clover, 4 lbs.; alsike clover, 2 Y
IS. white Dutch clover, l lb.
The permanent pasture seeding I
lould be preceded by liberal ap- 4
lication Of steamed bone meal or @
asic Stag. These are non-acid
laterials and are recommended s
here the grass or pasture is to be
lade more or less permanent. t
The great advantage in sowing !
rass seed on prepared land in the g
tie summer lies in the fact that

lis way. There will be no weeds a

SUMMER SEEDING
OF GRASS
Bv Professor Crantham
In The Practical Farmer

In The Practical Farmer
The grass or hay crop often gets
only secondary attention as COM
pared with other field crops. The
fact that clover and timothy are
generally sown in the wheat or oats
which serve as nurse crops, is per-
haps the reason why the hay crop
is neglected from the cultural side.
Very often unfavorable conditions
at the time of seeding clover In the
wheat, or dry weather during the
spring or early summer, as we now
have greatly Injuries the stand OF
clover. Dry weather preceding the
removal Of the wheat will often
weaken the clover to such an ex-
mt that when the grain is cut the
OF plants soon die. Such con-
lessons the prospects for

Hence it pays, and pays well, to

If the clover is a poor stand after

to put the land to wheat again
merely for the sake of having a

PORTLAND TO BE ABANDONED
FOR ONLY TWO SERIES

Portland, Ore, May 23.-That the
Northwestern league would abandon
Portland only for the two series in
June instead of for the entire season
was the statement of Judge McCredie,
president of the Portland club, today.
1t was reported yesterday, ana it was
understood that Judge. McCredie had
confirmed the report in full, that no
more Northwestern games would be
seen in Portland in 1914. If only the
June series are transferred, the games
scheduled with Spokane ror the week
of June 10, and with Seattle the week
of June 81 will be played on the home
grounds of those teams. This will mean
that Portland fans will not see either
Seattle or Spokane in action this sea.
son.
There was persistent rumor in
baseball circles toay that the action of
the Northwestern league in transfer
ring the June games scheduled for
Portland, to Seattle and Spokane, was
simply the first step in plan to leave
the Colts homeless for the rest of the
season, and that the league may aban-
don the town for good.

BOXERS TREATED WELL
IN AUSTRALIAN HOMES
Island Continent Said to Be Greatest
Sporting Country in the World
Has Exceptional Enthusiasm.
EVEN ORDINARY woRKMEN
DON THEIR EVENING CLOTHES
People Like Loser Who Fights Well
Big Matches Are Generally Held
on Saturday Afternoons.
BY Hal Sheridan.

New York, May 23.-coe Levins,
manager of Eddie McGoorty, says Aus
tralia is the greatest sporting country
in the world; that no other place has
such genuine enthusiasm for pugilism
and other sports, and that the natives
think nothing of having 10000 persons
at football or cricket match or q
horse race. Levins has just returned
from the Antipodes and is all smoked
up" over Sydney, Brisbane and Ade-
laide.
"Take boxer, for instance" said
Levins, "and his social position there
is equal to that of any other profes-
sional man. American fighters are en-
tertained at the best Australian homes
because they have a notion that boxers
apd their managers rrc human like
Anybody else.
Everyone seems prosperous in Aus
tralia, too. They are good business
men and conduct their affairs on
straight, open terms. They certainly
believe in enjoying life. When even
ing comes even ordinary workmen don
evening clothes. This looked odd to us
at first, but we soon got accustomed
to it and did the same thing ourselves.
"Snowy Baker has great chain of
boxing stadiums in the different cities
of the country and they are run like
a first-class vaudeville circuit. The
fighters are all under contract and en-
gagged months in advance. The boxer
has nothing to say about whom he will
or will not fight. His opponents are
selected by the promoters and that is
as it should be. They treat the fight
ers fairly, too. No matter how many
times he is defeated, the boxer receives
every dollar that his contract calls for.
Matt Wells was beaten three times
in row, but that made no difference
with the Australians. They like q loser
who fights well and will pungle up
their coin to see him work.
"The big matches are usually held
on Saturday, but they have Thursday
afternoon matinees. In the matinees
they have several boxing exhibitions
and the big boxers who are matched go
through their training stunts in the
ring.
"Australia is great country, and
American fighters who are willing to
play fair will do well there"

o. TRACK
TEAM MEETS DEFEAT
Judges Give Frost Of P. q. Second and
Third Place in 100-Yard Dash--Axley
Defeats Frost.

The Willamette university track
team was defeated by Pacific univer-
sity yesterday afternoon by the score
of 72 to 4S. Willamette's weakness in
the weights and distances was respon.
sible for her defeat.
Hand bills which were scattered all
over the town when the Willamette
delegation arrived in Forest Grove yes
terday announced that "the feature of
the meet will be the zzo-yard dash be-
tween Small of Willamette and Frost
of Pacific, who is expected to break
a record" Small easily defeated Frost
finishing a full four yards ahead of
him.
An interesting incident of the meet
was the awarding of places in the 100
yard dash. Frost, the Pacific sprinter,
had brother entered in the event. The
result of the race was: Small of Will
lamette first, Axley OF Willamette Sec
ond and r. Frost Of Pacific third. A
mix-up among the judges of finish
gave Axley no place at all. The judge
picking second gave that place to Frost
and the judge picking third selected
the same man. The clerk of course
then credited one of the Frost brothers
with second and the other with third.
Mills, the Willamette captain, called
their attention to the mistake, but they
refused to change it at the time. After
they had won the meet, they then came
and offered to make the change and
give AXley the place, but the William
cite men would not allow the change
TO be made then, as there was nothing
to gain by changing the score, which
would then have been SO to 81.
Another thing in connection with the
meet which did not work in the Will
lamette boys favor was the order in
which Pacific had arranged the prog
ram of events. The standard order was
not followed in arranging any of the
