LARKSPUR OR POISON WEED"
The Tall and Low Larpurs Cause the Number
Cattle Annually-These Losses Occur Almost Entirely
During the Months Of May and June.
By G. d. MARSH

The larkspurs have been known tc
be poisonous from the time Of the
ancient Greek and Latin writer's tc
the present. 1t is only In North
America, however. that they have
been important as causing losses Of

| to be more than $4,000, 900 in a single
year. 1t appears as soon as the buds
begin to open and shows a charac-
teristic curling Of the leaves and
deeper green color. The twigs are
also affected and become swollen and
j have a lighter color. The fungus
lives from year to year in the twigs
and the infection in the spring is
probab from them. Spraying as for
the brown rot will keep this in check
to be especially valuable for this dis
ease. Trees sprayed for San Jose
scale need very little additional treat
ment for the leaf curl.
Rosette is a contagious disease for
which no positive remedy has yet
been found. The cause Of the disease
is unknown and the best remedy is to
dig up and destroy the tree. The
disease appears as compact tufts or
rosettes. The leaf buds do not
elongate but grow inrcompact tufts 2
or inches in length. Trees becoming
affected in the spring die the following
fall or winter.
The yellows, like the rosette. Is
serious disease Of the peach. 1t ap-
pears as yellow discoloration on tho
leaves and causes premature ripening
of the fruit and death of the tree.
To control this disease. spray with
lime-sulphur if San Jose scale is pres
ent. If lime-sulphur is not used, spray
with copper sulphate solution before
buds open. Spray with weak Bor-
deaux and an arsenical when fruit has
set. Repeat the latter 10 to IA days
later Again repeat about one month
before fruit ripens. Ordinarily where
San Jose scale is not present three or
four sprayings will be sufficient

Repair Your Own
Farm Tools

An investment of $50 to $40 in
tools will be saved or the average
farm say of 100 to $50 acres, often
within a single year. In addition to
the money saving there is always
tremendous saving Of time where the
repair work can be done at home.
It doesn't require large shop or
great many tools that will enable one
to do everything that should be done
to farm machinery. OF course in tho
breakage Of heavy parts these must
be supplied by new ones but often
an ingenious man can repair these
parts and the machine kept going un-s
til the new parts can be received from
the manufacturer. VI
The most important thing in tho
workshop is the portable forge. These
can be bought for from $3.50 up to,
SIS; a very good forge being priced
at about So.
Next small anvil is needed. which
will cost about cents per pound. An
S0-pound anvil Is heavy enough for
ordinary work on the farm.

for the repeal Of section nine the
blame belongs not upon Senator
Chamberlain but upon the Taft ad-
ministration and the old republican
senate which enacted the change un-
der the leadership of Senator Lodge.
This subject is Of chief interest be-
cause the Booth workers try to take
advantage of it. They charge Cham
berlain with full responsibility for the
repeal of section nine and herald
Booth as man who If elected will
restore Oregon's money to Oregon"
Such barefaced buncombe cannot
fail to disgust all voters who look in
to the subject. 1t is almost equal to
Candidate Booths rich plea, made
before the federal court. that he ac-
quired timber lands to help his poor
relatives when he paid them only S1Oo
each for claims that were worth s5,-
900 apiece. When the forces back
of senatorial candidate rely on such
oontemptible gump to help their mar

OGILVf RANCH PRODUCTS
TAKE HONORS At SALEM
UMiTILIA COUNTY MAN BRINGS
HOME PRIZE FROM THE
STATE FAIR.

Bearing the sweepstakes prize and
diploma for the best foreign exhibit
at the state fair, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Ogilvy, well known pioneer residents
of California Gulch, arrived back In
Pendleton this morning. From a
field OF many exhibitors, the ogilvys
carried away first honors with their
splendid display Of grasses grains and
vegetables grown on their ranch.
Making their exhibit all the more
remarkable is the fact that the ogilvy
ranch Is 3222 feet above sea level.
The exhibit consisted OF 1873 differ
ent varieties OF farm products, every
one grown upon the Ogilvy place
and some OF the individual specimens
were so fine that. had they been en-
tered for specimen prizes, would have
wen easily, Mr.. Ogllvy was informed
by the judges.
This is not the first time Mr.. Og-
ilvy has won honors by displaying his
farm exhibits. Year after year he
had booth at the district fair held
here and always carried off the prize
for the best individual display
Through the influence Of Mrs. Toz-
ier-Weatherred and the Commercial
Club of Pilot Rock, he was induced
to send his exhibit to the state fair
this year and his success makes him
feel amply repaid for his trouble.
The diploma he will turn over to
the Pilot Rock Commercial Club and
a part of his exhibit will be kept on
display In the Pilot Rock bank. The
500 which he won, however, he will
keep for himself.

know what section nine was or how
it came to be repealed. but that makes
no difference TO them.
Section nine was a provision of the
old reclamation act under which the
funds collected from sales Of land in
the various states were to be expend-
ed as nearly as possible in the states
from which the money was derived

The former administration wanted
section nine repealed because It was
found many states that were contrib
uting money from the sales Of public
lands had no feasible irrigation pro-
jects within their borders. Con-
spicuous among these states was
Oklahoma which had placed much
money in the reclamation fund yet
had no irrigation enterprises for the
government to take up. Under the
old law II complied with in a techni-
cal way 1t would have been necessary
for the government to have spent
Oklahoma's money in Oklahoma
whether there was any irrigation
needed or not. AS a matter Of fact
the government never did comply with
the full intent of section nine but al
ways followed the saner policy Of TAX
ing up only what II deemed to be
feasible projects. Consequently the

material difference in the distribu-
ton Of reclamation money It is al
