OREGON STATE news
Government Studies Sentiment
In Railroad Land Grant Case

Eugene.-The United States govern
ment is making an investigation 0i
sentiment in Oregon as to what should
be done with the Oregon G California
railroad grant lands. Attorney s. w
Williams, of the department of justice
arrived in Eugene to pass several days
in Lane county. He will also visit all
counties in which the land is located
Upon his return to Washington Mr.
Williams will make his report to the
attorney-general, who will in all prob
ability report to congress. He was &C
companied to Eugene by Leonard I'm
derwood, special agent Of the depart
ment of the interior.
Mr.. Williams met number Of Eu
gene bankers and business men at the
commercial club. He stated briefly
that his mission was to ascertain what
the lands are best suited for and the
views Of the people in the section oi
the state most vitality interested as tC
what should be done with the lands
Mr.. Williams stated that IL no ac
ton was taken by congress the rail
road would be permitted to carry out
the terms of the original grant. Those
present at the meeting were not in
clined to the view that congress should
not take action.
Mr.. Williams, for the purpose Of
suggestion, said that the removal Of
all restrictions upon the railroad, with
condition that the lands must be
sold within certain time, would re
suit in the early sale of lands and
make them available in the develop
ment of the state. The suggestion did
not meet approval.

Fight Timber Tax Reductions.

Oregon City.-The county will not
submit tamely to big reductions In
the assessments of the Weyerhaeuser,
Collins estate and other big timber
holdings and every case will be fought
through the courts, declared District
Attorney Hedges.
The Weyerhaeuser case, which was
appealed from the board Of equaliza-
tion and lost and lost in the circuit
court Saturday, will be appealed to
the supreme court, said Mr.. Hedges,
who believes that the county can
prove its case before the higher tri-
bunal. The court refused to reduce
Assessor Jacks value of the timber,
but cut the estimates LA, 100000 feet
in five sections in question. The sec
tions were not changed by the court
Between $1100 and $1,000 is involved
in the annual tax payments by the re
ductions ordered in the circuit court
The case is considered important in
as-much as it opens the way for other
big timber interests to fight for lower
assessments. The county's figures
are all based on the M. G. Nease
cruise.

PRESIDENT URGES AMERICA first
IN MATTERS OF NATIONAL CONCERN

Washington, D. CA demand on
all Americans, on penalty Of ostra-
cism, to be more than neutral In re-
gard to the European war, to take
their stand for America first, last and
all the time, was voiced by President
Wilson in speech in celebration Of
the 25th anniversary of the founding
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution. The United States, the presi.
dent said, was not merely trying to
keep out of trouble, but was trying to
preserve the foundations upon which
peace could be rebuilt.
Peace can be rebuilt" he added,
"only upon the ancient and accepted
principles of international law; only
upon these things which remind ma
tions of their duties to each other, and
deeper than that, Of their duties to
mankind and humanity. America has
a great cause which is not confined to
the American continent. 1t is the
cause Of humanity ITSELF"
Declaring his faith in the loyalty OF
the great body Of naturalized citizens
of foreign birth, the president said he
believed the impression was too gen
eral that large number of these citi-
gems we're without sufficient affec-
ton for the American ideal.
"But am in hurry to have line
up" he explained, "and let the men
who are thinking first of other coun
tries stand on one side and those who
are for America first, last and all the
- ~. I'd 10
Every political action and every 80
cial action In America at this time
said Mr.. Wilson, should have for Its
object to challenge the spirit Of
Americanism.

affords an ideal breeding place and it
is often here, says Professor Lovett,
that the pest obtains foothold which
enables it to increase in numbers suffi-
ciently to seriously injure the crop.
Every reasonable effort should be made
to keep the volunteer wheat down, fre-
quent disking being Of value. Or this
volunteer crop may be allowed to stand
during the fall as trap crop on which
the females deposit their eggs and then
plowed under early in the winter. The
time Of sowing the wheat and barley is
one Of the most important factors in
controlling the Hessian fly. The per-
iod in the fall during which the ma
jority of flies emerge is relatively
brief and if no. wheat or barley, either
sown or volunteer, is present upon
which they may lay their eggs, the
main brood is not able to lay eggs to
provide a brood for the spring infesta-
tion.
Professor Lovett is endeavoring to
determine the period Of emergence in
the Willamette valley, but has not yet
secured sufficient data for making a
definite announcement. 1t seems rea-
sonable, however, that propagation Of
the fall and winter generation must
depend very largely upon volunteer or
early sown fall wheat or barley.

infested stalks, and discoloration OF
the plant. The grain is frequently en-
tlreiy missing In the upper meshes OF
the head and has q dlstinctively shriv-
eled appearance in the lower part. The
infested stalks are usually coarse with
color more or less bleached out, while
the head is short and hanging down
from the weakened stem. injury Is
present 70 less degree IN tne young
wheat at stooiing time, and as II pc
gins to form stalks. Inc injured plant
shows excessive stooiing with coarse
leaves that soon turn yellow ana die.
The pest appears In two broods, one
in the fall and the other in the spring.
The fall brood, as has been stated,
emerges from pupae that developed
from the larvae which attacked the
crop last spring. The iarval stage Is
OF course the stage In which the dam
age is done. The larvae were them
selves developed from the eggs laid by
the spring brood OF adult hies. Irac-
ing the cycle back further 1t is found
that the spring brood was developed
from pupae formed in the winter, de-
veloped from larvae Matched from eggs
deposited by the fall brood in the early
stalks of fall wheat and barley.
1t is seen by tracing this cycle OF
development that the most Vulnerable
place for attacking this pest is in the

HESSIAN FLY MENACE GROWS.
Fall Brood lnfests Early Sown Wheat
for Spring Depredations.

Hessian flies are shown by investi-
cations recently conducted by the Ore
gon Agricultural College Entomolog-
ical department to be occurring in con-
siderable numbers in various parts Of
the Willamette valley. The adults
Matching from the pupae found in the
wheat stubble of last seasons crop de-
posit their eggs for the winter brood
Of maggots in the blades of fall sown
wheat. Fall wheat in or near by fields
that were infested this season becomes
a breeding place for the brood that
will attack with more or less damage
next seasons crop. ~
The Hessiaan fly has been occurring
in the Willamette valley to greater
or less extent for a number of years,
but infestation seems to be much more
general this year than for many sea-
sons past. Professor Lovett, assistant
entomologist Of the college, says that
considerable injury has been done to
both wheat and barley this year by the
Hessian fly (Myetiola destructor). This
injury is shown in the maturing grain,

Hatchery Improvement Advised.

Roseburg-As a result of a visit to
the North Umpqua fish hatchery by
Attorneys General George M. Brown,
that official will probably recommend
to the state fish commission the install
lation of pumping plant there as an
auxiliary to the present water supply.
The running water for use in the
hatchery is procured from small
creek, but in dry seasons is insuffi-
cient.
At present there are approximately
100000 salmon eggs in the hatchery,
according to Mr.. Brown. On account
of scarcity of water, not more than
100000 more eggs will be taken to
this hatchery during the present year.
The encouragement says he will
probably make his recommendation
to the state fish commission as soon
as he returns to Salem.
