anna canal tolls fight, so far as the
House ls concerned, is history now
lhe struggle has been transferred
to the Senate. 1t requires no
prophet to fortell the result. THE
SHIPPING TRUST WILL LOSE AND THE
PRESIDENT WILL WIN.
The more the Presidents posi-
tlon on this question is discussed
the stronger it becomes. The first
test vote came in the House on
Friday, March 27, and we won by
the narrow margin of % votes.
The Presidents opponents were
Jubilant They thought they might
be able to overcome that lead.
After four days of acrimonious de-
bate another test vote was taken
and, behold, the Presidents lead
had increased to Sc votes! The
majority had trebled in three days.
Only eight Republicans and no
Progressives voted with the Presi-
dent on the first vote. Twenty
five Republicans and two Progress
ives went with him on the final
vote
These facts speak for themselves,
but even more significant is the
attitude of the big dailies of the
country.
Every newspaper in New York
EXCEPT THE HEARST. PAPERS is
standing by the President. Every
newspaper in Chicago-EXCEPT
THE HEARST PAPERs-is standing
by the President. In New York
the World, Independent Demo-
crat, is the Presidents chief news
paper advocate, while in Chicago
the Tribune, progressive Republi-
can, is just as earnestly supporting
the man in the White House
Party lines have disappeared in
the presence of this issue.
WHAT Is BACK OF IT?
In some quarters it is suggested
that there is more at stake in this
tolls fight than appears on the sur
face. 1t is hinted that sinister in
tiuences are at work to block the
Presidents program of antitrust
legislation, and that the hullabal-
loo over canal tolls is merely Il
clever ruse to divert public atten-
tion from the main issue.
We will soon have an opportu-
nifty to discover what there is to
this theory, for the antitrust bills
should emerge from the judiciary
committee within the next two
weeks. They are expected to square
with the party's platform declara-
tions and with the Presidents we'll
known ideas. In other words, they
will be equipped with a full set Of
| teeth.
Will gentlemen who antagonized
the President on the tolls question
use that difference of opinion rs
an excuse to embarrass the execu-
tion of this much more ambitious
program? We shall see.
There is some consolation in
knowing that whatever is done
must be done in the open. The
searchlight of publicity will be on
duty twenty-four hours a day and
woe bel ide the leader who, through
ambition or pique, fails to do bis
full duty when the real test comes
Talking of leaders, the virility OF
Democracy was never better illus
trated than during the grueling
struggle over this tolls bill.

iority during the present Congress
refused to support the President

PRICE OF WOOL
Some time last summer | took
occasion in one of these letters to
say that the placing of wool on the
free list would not affect the price
received by the sheep men. At
that time there was considerable
apprehension concerning the future
of the wool market and | warned
the sheep men not to be deceived
by the lugubrious prophecies of
the wool buyers, but to insist on
the old price.
Developments have fully sus-
tained my position. This years
clip will command the usual prices
The truth is that one of the crying
needs of the wool business in this
country is the Standardization of
products. The foreign wool grow
ers are far ahead of us in that par
ticular They have been operating
in free trade market, where COM
petition was keen and where the
successful man availed himself of
the improvements suggested by
science and experience. Our wool
growers, on the other hand, have
been placing their faith in a pro-
tective tariff which did not protect
them. The result has been that
foreign wool growers have fire.
quently been able to get better
prices in free trade market than
our wool growers have obtained in
protected" market.
For more than twenty-five years
William j. Bryan and other Dem
ocratic leaders have contended that
the tariff on wool was a fake and q
fraud; that it did not benefit the
sheep men, but afforded an excuse
for the outrageous tariff placed on
wooden goods, thus enriching the
wooden trust. Now their conten-
tions are being verified.
At the same time the eyes of the
farmers are being opened. Wheat
is on the free list and the price of
wheat is not affected. Corn is on
the free list and corn commands
the old price. 1t is true that Ar
gentine sent us couple of ship
loads of corn few weeks ago and
our Republican friends proclaimed
the fact from the house-tops. The
scare affected the market Temporal
rily, and then it was found that
Argentine corn was of very poor
quality and could not possibly
compete with the American grain.
So the farmer is gradually coming
to understand that he has been the
goat in this tariff affair. He has
been compelled to sell his products
in free trade market and he has
been forced to buy what be re.

FAKE CHOLERA REMEDIES.

HOG raisers of Oregon need to be
III on the alert to prevent the intro,
duction and spread Of the hog chol
era into their parts of the state. Since
the disease is due to a germ Of micro
lscopic size it naturally follows that il
can be communicated 10 well hogs only
| by permitting the germ to be carried to
them. A knowledge of the different
methods of carrying the germ from in
fected to well hogs is essential to pre-
vention. Some of these methods of
spread are given by DR.. B. T. Simms,
veterinarian at the Agricultural College,
las follows:
by direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera.
BY carriers, that is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera but still
pass germs with their droppings.
By humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or prem
ises.
4.-By dogs, coyotes, buzzards and
other earrion eating animals that have
fed on the carcasses Of infected hogs.
5.-By stock cars, stock yards, etc.,
in which have been placed infected
hogs.
6.-By infected water.
by slops, swill and garbage that
have been infected with bacon rinds
or ham bones from hogs that had been
afflicted with cholera at slaughter.
Germs will ordinarily die out in four
months in lot conditions, but are so
resistant that they survive the usual
curing and packing process as carried
on in the big packing houses. After
they have once found lodgment in the
hog there is no remedy known but hog
cholera serum Growers should there
fore take every precaution to see that
germs do not enter their herds by any
OF the foregoing means.

ers and horsemen to come under the
provision of the law, and the advan-
tages of doing so will be made as plain
as possible to them. Farmers will be
encouraged to breed their very best
mares to the best sires available, pref
erence being generally given to the
pure bred.
Most farmers have two or more
mares as a general rule that are pecu-
liarly adapted to breeding purposes that
if bred to acceptable sires will produce
colts for the owners that will materially
raise the standard of farm horses, ?"
says Professor Kennedy, "and we shall
do what we can to show them the ad-
vantages of this practice"

OREGON WRITER'S PROLIFIC,

seA RECON has produced more lit
~ erature in her fifty years as a
state than the Thirteen Orig
inal Colonies have produced during
their one hundred and fifty years of
existence" says Professor J. B. Hor-
ner, professor of History at the Agricul-
tural College, in his illustrated lecture
on the literature of Oregon and the
men who produced it. Professor Hor-
ner speaks from first hand knowledge,
since he had an intimate personal ac-
quaintance with many of the state s
great authors. In proof of his claim he
delineates the writings of Joaquin Mil
Ter, Edwin Markham, Colonel Baker,
Ella M. Higginson, Sam l.. Simpson and
other authors of note, whose prolific
writings run into many volumes.

EMBLEMs FOR STUDENTS.

EMBLEMS for girls and boys who
- are members of industrial clubs in
Oregon lave been selected in con.
formity with President Wilson s saying
that achievement is the only patent Of
nobility in modern times. "Achieve.
ment in State, Home and School" is
stamped on each of the five designs of
the series, and conveys the leading sem
timent Of the emblem. A clover leaf
with the letter II in the center, sug.
gests growth and development, while a
student lamp and an spen book point
the way. These are all features of the
simplest design, which is intended
merely as badge of membership and a
reminder of duty.
The next three designs in the series
are similar to the first, with the addi-
tion of another clover lear and another
H on each higher emblem. These de.
signs are used to mark advancement in
any project, and correspond to fourth,
third and second prizes, respectively.
In the last design Of the series ris-
ing sun displaees the student lamp, a
large star fills up the center, and the
four-leaved clover lies enclosed This
design marks the highest degree of
achievement in any one project, and
corresponds to the first prize.

the wearer in some industrial club and

The selection, which was made by F.
L. Griffin, state agent of industrial
clubs, has been ratified by superinten-
dents and other cooperating officers.

CONTROLLING CHICKENWEED.

NLEAN cultivation on cultivated
~ areas is recommended by the
Agronomy Department of the
Agricultural College as being one Of
the best means of getting rid of the
troublesome little chickweed. This weed
pest loves gardens and dooryards and
has the habit of Towering at all sea-
sons Of the year except in frosty wea-
ther. The seed coat is heavy enough to
carry the seed safely from one season
to another, so that one hardly knows
when he has eradicated the weed.
If the last cultivation of the season
is rather shallow, so that ungerminated
seeds are not brought near enough the
surface to germinate, the plant can bs
gradually exterminated.
In sowed crops the chickweed will
probably be pretty well starved and If
the stabble is disked after harvest the
number Of weeds will be greatly re-
duced. On land thickly sown to clover
and grasses the chickweed is often
starved out. Since it is lover Of
water, drainage will help check its
growth.
On lawns, where cultivation cannot be
practiced, the best means of eradca-
tion is spraying with solution of iron
sulphate spray, mixed in the ratio Of
one pound of iron sulphate TO slightly
over half gallon of water. It is adj
yisable to apply the first spray as soon
as the chickweed appears and make
from one to four succeeding applica-
tiOns.

Professor Carl N. Kennedy, Newly
Appointed Specialist in Horses,
at Oregon Agricultural College
and Secretary Oregon State
Stallion Registration
Board.

ROFESSOR CARL N. kennedy,
i Of the Animal Husbandry depart
ment of the Texas Agricultural
College, has received the appointment
as special instructor in the branch of
Animal Hnsbandry work that relates to
horses, in the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. He was graduated from the Iowa
State College at Ames in 1912, having
majored in animal husbandry and spe-
eialized in the branch of breeding, care
and management of horses. He was an
assistant instructor for part of the col
lege course and did practical work in
feeding and fitting horses for the show.
At the Texas school be was in charge
Of the work connected with horses, cat
tie and sheep. In this capacity he was
assistant coach of the stock Judging
college teams, and had the very great
satisfaction of seeing his team win the
first honors in stock judging at the in
ternational Stock Show in Chicago.
This was the first time that first place
had gone to Southern team, which
generally has limited equipment and
material in comparison with the larger
institutions of the great corn belt.
One of the duties to be performed by
Professor Kennedy in the Oregon insti-
tuition is acting as secretary to the
State Stallion Registration Board.
These duties, which will bring him into
close touch with the leading horse
raisers of the state, will be performed
On lines similar to those followed by
Professor Z. L. Potter, head of the de-
partment of Animal Husbandry, the
present secretary.
His duties include inspection and
registration of all stations offered for
public service. In addition to these
features he will lay special emphasis
on the enforcement of the law in all
Of its phases. The law was designed to
benefit stockmen by improving the
breed of horse in Oregon, and will do
30 if universally followed. No one has
a right to offer the services of stall
lion to the public for hire without hav-
ing him inspected and registered. There
are three divisions of stations, and the
registration law includes them all in it's
provisions. Pure e-breds, eligible to spe-
eial registry, grades, whose sire or dam
were pure bred, and mongrels, are alike
subject to the provisions of the law.
The educational value of registration
will likewise receive special attention
during the coming year. An earnest at.
tempt will be made to encourage farm
