BIG VALUE IN STRAW
FOR A COVER CROP

Thirteen burned or burning straw
stacks were seen by the o. A. C..
Press bulletin editor little less than
a year ago, in travelling so miles
along Willamette Valley railway.
Formerly much of the straw now
wasted in smoke was hauled to mills
and made into paper. The loss to the
land is the same in both practices,
not only carrying away fertility ele-
ments but leaving the soil in easily
puddled condition. The value of the
former is about 1884 in each ton of
wheat straw, $405 in each ton of
oat straw, and s7.48 in clover straw
Draining the soils of these elements
for plant making year by year causes
losses that lead to depletion, and at
the same time renders less available
the portions remaining by taking out
the supply of humus-the soil ingre-
dient that makes the soil work read
lily and gives it the dark, rich look, so
much sought after in general farm
lands. Since the season of the year
is now approaching when large guam
titles of straw are burned, the Press
Bulletin has secured for its next issue
an illustrated article by Professor G.
R. Hyslop on methods of returning
straw to the soil.

Several times during the day Mr.
Bowser thought of the situation, and
each time he did he brought his fist
down on his knee and very nearly
shouted:
mo, by Johnl she shall mott"
When Mr.. Bowser came home to dim
ner that evening he was rather bland
and smiling, but at the same time he
had a way about him that meant to
show her that he was boss of the roost.
She was his wife, but there was a gulf
between them. OF course. Mrs. Bow
ser was quick to notice the change,
but she made no remarks calculated
to draw him out. Mr.. Bowser finished
his dinner quarter of an hour sooner
than usual, and showed back and went
up stairs. Later on Mrs. Bowser found
him walking to and fro in the sitting
room with hat and cane in hand, and
a cigar in his mouth. He was appar-
emily waiting to question or be queS-
toned, but both looked at each other,
and had nothing to say except to them
selves.
IT wonder if he is going out" men
tally queried Mrs. .Bowser of herself
''She must know that I am going
out" said Mr.. Bowser. "Why doesn't
she ask me where 1 am going??'
Something was said about stopping
at the grocery to order some things
forgotten by the cook, and then Bow
ser walks right out doors and up the
street. Mrs. Bowser opened the door
wide enough to peek out and see which
way he went and as she closed it, she
said:
Mr.. Bowser has taken a new tack,
I see. Very we'll. I'll make him sick
of it in less than a week, or my name
is not sarah Bowseri"
To give the new experiment a thor
ough trial, MI. Bowser remained at
the club until 1 o'clock in the morning.
He surely expected a row when he
reached home, but there was no row.
Mrs. Bowser had left light for him,
and had been asleep for two or three
hours. She did not awaken when he
came upstairs, though he purposely
made considerable of a racket
Nothing about the matter was said at
breakfast, and he went away with
feeling that somehow or other he had
not gained such a great victory after
all. When he came home at night, he
was still carrying that gulf between
them. At the dinner table she re-
marked that it had been a fine day,
and he agreed with her.
Then he remarked that pork chops
had gone up two cents more pound,
and she replied that it was perfectly
awful
He might have noticed that she was
hurrying her dinner a bit, but he
didn't. He was therefore a little sur
prised when she asked to be excused
and left the table. 1t was his turn to
follow upstairs He didn't find her on
the lounge with a headache as he had
expected to. AS he stood looking
around the room she came down stairs
fully dressed, and after telling him
to charge the cook to see that the
kitchen door was locked when she
went to bed, she passed down the hall
and the front door closed after her.
She was going out, but where?
by Jinksi but that's cool.' said Mr..
Bowser as he looked after her. "Meb-
be she's heard the story of Bebee, the
BOBBY, and is going to try my little
game herself
After about ten minutes he left the
house for the Dominoe Club, but after
playing three or four games, and los
