OREGON FARMERS TO FILL GAP

Ancient Custom Of Growing Tares
(Vetoh) For Seed to Be Renewed.
Prepared by Oregon Agricultural college.]
Vetch growing Is carried on in sew
eral parts Of the United States, espe-
cially In the southern portions, but lit
tie Of the crops is ever harvested for
seed, In consequence Of which most
seed is purchased in the open markets
for the southern use. Most Of the pur-
chased seed Is grown in northwestern
Europe, Germany and Russia being the
principal producers. Expectation from
these sources has been cut off almost
entirely, and in case the war does not
end in time for the fall shipments it Is
predicted that there will be a great
shortage Of vetch seed for the southern
paintings.
Oregon farmers will try to bridge this
big gap between supply and demand
by growing larger crops Of vetch this
season and harvesting most Of it for
seed. The practice hitherto has been
merely to grow seed for home use and
partly to supply the demand for seed
from southern California. But now
that the European supply is likely to
be cut off for n year or more and the
Panama canal has been opened to traf-
fc seed growing will become more of
an industry with farmers Of western
Oregon.

To Eradicate Garlic.

Garlic is a bad pest on any farm, but
is exceptionally so on a dairy farm be-
u Of the strong flavor it gives to
the milk, says Farm and Fireside. A
temporary %expedient Is to keep the
cows off the Infested pasture at least
four hours before milking. This will
greatly reduce the bad favor. Then if
the milk stands at least four hours the
flavor may disappear altogether. Here
Is the best means of e%radicating gar
lie altogether:
First.-Pour kerosene on the plant
from an ordinary kerosene can. Do
this before the garlic heads out Soak
the plants thoroughly.
Second.-Carbolic acid applied in the
same way is also effective.
Third.-Dig the garlic out with a
lnattock. With practice you can take
out a plant at every stroke, including
the bulbs that have not yet sprouted.
Destroy all the plants and bulbs re-
moved.

After he quit the water he came to

Washington, Aug. 31.-State depart
ment officials disclosed today that they
do not expect modified practices under
the British orders in council. an
nounced yesterday by the British en-
bassy, will cover the general British
policy toward neutral shipping. against
which the United States Is now pre-
pairing it's new protest.
No concrete propositions for relaxa-
tion of interference with shipping have
reached the state department. alrd such
general discussion of the subject as
has taken place will not affect thsi gov
ernment'S note to Great Britain, now in
preparation.
To HeIp Special Cases.
Arrangements for assisting in the
Identification of goods bought in Ger
many but not paid for before March I,
which is designed to relieve American
cargoes held In neutral ports are at
present being carried on extra-govern-
mentally between the British embassy
and the foreign trade advisers Of the
state department. These steps, how
ever, are to help special cases. and
are not considered as change of at
titude by the British government with
respect to neutral shipping.
Whether the concession about to be
made by Great Britain will apply only
to the goods at Rotterdam or be ex-
tended to- goods contracted for that are
still at the factories is not known. An
effort will be made by this government
to persuade Great Britain to permit the
shipment OF German and Austrian
goods contracted for prior to March ::
whether actual delivery has been made
to docks or not.
Relief to Importers.
The concessions thus promised by
Great Britain will be great relief to
American importing houses. The con-
signments in question are in the main
articles that are urgently needed in the
United States For example. it is
stated that great quantities of German
toys are involved; that failure of de-
livery of such shipments would seri-
ously affect the holiday trade OF many
merchants
The fact that Great Britain has de-
cided to lift the blockade to the extent
indicated was communicated to the
state department by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British. ambassador. The am
bassador called at the department to
explain the extent of the concessions SO
far determined upon, which, he said,
were intended largely to meet the COM
plains Of American importers that their
Christmas trade is menaced by failure
to obtain goods made in Germany and
Austria for which contracts were made
many months ago.
Result Of Negotiations.
Ambassador Spring Rice's communi-
cation that Great Britain Is disposed to
permit the delivery of goods purchased
on Germany and Austria before the
blockade became effective Is the result
of representations made by the secre-
tary of state.
1t was brought to the attention Of the
department that special attorneys rep
resenting brokers in the United States
had effected the release Of about
100000 worth Of goods upon the pre-
sentation of evidence that contracts
were made for them long before the
British blockade went into effect.
