Customer Always Right.

The Latin maxim that means let
the buyer beware has as little place
in the mercantile business of the
world today as the language In which
it was spoken, according to Dean j. A.
Bexell, of the 0. A. G. school Of COM
merce, who believes that 1t is the
seller that should beware. 1t thus
becomes the duty Of the seller to sell
the customer what he wants, not
what he can be made to take. The
Wanamaker theory Of selling, "the
customer is always right" is much
safer and more profitable attitude
that should be assumed by sellers of
farm produce as well as Of any other
commodity.

How Poisons Form in Plants.

The forming Of poisonous elements
in plants, explained by W. e. Law
renee, of the o. A. G. botany depart
ment, is result Of the natural proc
esses of growth. from which in some
plants it is inseparable. The con-
struction of plant food from inor-
ganic substances and its transforma-
ton into pr0toplasm are both build
ing-up processes in which the stored
energy is largely obtained from the
sun. In these organizing and build
ing-up processes there Is partial or
complete release Of energy thus
stored. II the release of energy is
only partial intermediate decomposi-
tion products are formed, such as
plant tissues, temporary food sub
stances, and permanent by-products.
Il is certain of these by-products that
constitute the poisonous substances
in the poisonous plants. In other
plants the by-products may form me-
dicinal substances, perfumes, flavors
and spices.

growers of the state to be somewhat
conservative. If you feel, however,
that you would like to try under
your individual conditions to deter
mine what your trees need, | could
suggest for you simple experiment
which should determine this point.
While the chemist can tell you II
certain plant foods are missing, or II
certain injurious salts are present,
he couldn't tell you the exact avail
ability of the plant food in your soil.
You will have to test that out your
self.
Commercial Plant Foods.
Take from dozen or two dozen
trees. Have them in rectangular
blocks, for each plot. On the first
plot apply nitrate Of soda at the rate
of 100 to $50 pounds per acre. On
the second plot apply sulphate or
muriate of potash, in about the same
amount. On the third plot apply
high grade superphosphate at the
rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre,
or acid phosphate, at the rate of
about 600 pounds per acre. Then
take additional plots for the combin-
alton of two. On one plot use nitrate
and potash; then nitrate and phos-
phOric acid; then potash and phos-
phoric acid; then all three. Then If
you would like to try out something
along the line of lime, take and try
a little lime at the rate of about 1000
pounds per acre, on a small plot.
Have the fertilizers applied early
in March, sowing it in under the
branches of the trees and narrowing
it thoroughly.
l.. very much doubt whether lime
and phosphate in themselves would
cause any increased color in the
fruit. If you have too much nitro
gen in the soil it will delay the ma
turity and probably the taking on
of color. Phosphoric acid is sup
posed to be beneficial in helping form
the seed Of the fruit, and in that
way would perhaps help early ma.
turity. Perhaps early maturity would
mean better color. 1t would prob.
ably be due to the early maturity
rather than any direct effect oi
either lime or fertilizer. The lime
sets certain plant foods free and
might have influence on the eel
structure of the plant.

More Loan Required.

The compost recommended for
potted plants in recent issue Of the
o. A. c. Bulletin should have read
two measures of loan soil, instead
of one. The other components were
correctly given as follows: One-half
measure of sand and one measure
each of we'll rotted manure and leaf
mold. The double portion of loam
Is required to prevent acidity, which
is very likely to develop when the
compost Is kept too wet. This danger
of acidity can be eliminated by add
ing about one per cent of air-slacked
lime to the compost.

Lung Worms Trouble Calves.

Serious lung worm trouble OF
calves has arisen in some parts Of the
state where the calves are pastured
on low lands during wet weather.
These trouble are treated by j. L.
Smith, county agricultural agent Of
Coos County, by hypodermic injec-
tions OF turpentine into the tracheae
of the affected animal, or by causing
the animal to inhale sulphur fumes by
putting its head into sack and hold
ing 1t over a sulphur smudge. He
also recommends that farmers remove
calves suffering with lung worms to
higher ground and give them more
protection from the rough weather.

Poisonous Plants Are
Numerous in Northwest
Especially

6 OMEWHAT contrary to the gen.
- eral belief poisonous plants are
fairly numerous in the Northwest.
One hundred and thirty-three differ
ent specimens, poisonous or under
grave suspicion, have been listed by
the Oregon Agricultural College bot
any and plant pathology department.
The long list Of plants regarded as
poisonous at some time of year or
other and to some form of animal
life, includes bacteria, fungi, ferns,
and both monocotyledinous and di-
coyledinous plants. Some are grasses,
some generally regarded as weeds,
some are shrubs and some water
plants. The reasons for their poison
GUS actions, as related to their meth
DDS of growth and other vital proc
esses, are described by Mr.. Lawrence
as follows:
Among the several differences be-
tween plants and animals, the ability
to manufacture organic food from
inorganic food materials is perhaps
the most important. Upon this one
physiological process depends the life
of all plants and animals. This is
the chief characteristic of the COM
monty cultivated plants.
Plant Poisons.
Another important difference lies
in the retention of the by-products
of plant metabolism. The construc-
tion of plant food and its incorpora-
tion into the protoplasm are both
building-up processes, in which there
is storing of energy chiefly obtained
from the sun. These up-building
processes are followed by the partial
or complete release of the energy
thus stored. If the release of energy
Is only partial, intermediate decom-
position products will be formed, such
as tissues, temporary food substances
and permanent by-products. To the
latter class belong most of the medi-
cinal substances, perfumes, flavors,
spices and poisonous substances,
formed in plants.
Plant poisons may be grouped as
those affecting the skin by contact,
causing chemical and mechanical irri-
tation; digestion and urinary organs;
and the blood and nervous systems OF
animals.
Virulent Stages.
A few of the more important poi
sonous plants found in this region
are the water hemlock (Cicuta), and
larkspur (Delphinium). These are
perhaps the most serious on account
of causing rapid death. Other ones
are loco (Astragalus), dfgitalis and
lobelia (the latter when found In
hay). In general, stock do not eat
poisonous plants when plenty of good
grass or other edible plants are at
hand. II animals are hungry they
may eat almost anything, not making
any distinction between poisonous
and nonpoisonous plants. 1t Is at
the time when such plants as lobelia
and fern are found in the hay that
poisoning is most likely to occur.
1t is perhaps only just to emphasize
that many plants are poisonous only
in certain seasons at certain stages
of their development or in certain
conditions Gas wilted, mouldy OF
frozen plants after thawing). Cen
orally the poison is found only in
cerain parts Of plants, as tuber, leaf
seed or fruit. The deadly poison OF
the Cicutas is found chiefly in the
root; in the leaves Of the larkspur;
in the bulb of the death camas; in
the seed of the lupine; in the bark
leaves and flowers of black locust

Many Students Borrow
From o. A. e. Loan Fund

nNE hundred and forty-eight stu-
" dents have borrowed from the y.
A. C. student loan fund since it was
established about three years ago.
Many others have sought loans but
could not be accommodated because
the fund was exhausted. The loans
were too small to make for the high
est efficiency, having averaged but
sSS. In view of the need of more
loans and larger the necessity OF in
creasing the fund is apparent.
The purpose Of the fund is to aid
worthy young people TO complete
their college work by lending them
small sums of cash on suitable terms
OF interest and repayment. 1t was
started by friends Of the college, Hon.
orable r. A. Booth being the largest
contributor with $1,000 gift. The
Pierce fund OF $500 was also SUBJ
scribed and Mrs. Clara H. Waldo
added another hundred in cash. The
faculty contributed $S55 and student
organizations, notably the Barometer
and Oregon Countryman, made up the
bulk of the remainder. The short
course class of 1914 gave s144 and
the whole fund now totals $3S533S.
Although the fund is growing, it
has not nearly reached the point
where 1t can supply the demand for
legitimate and much-needed loans.

TEACHERS MEETING

The December Teachers Meeting
was held in the high school room.
Supt. Osborne demonstrated the use
of signals in passing classes by using
students from the third and fourth
grades. After a few announcements
the discussion of lesson plans was
completed by the presentation of a
model English plan by Miss Wright,
an arithmetic plan by Miss Grace and
one for history by Miss Travis. The
grade teachers then spent a half hour
in a discussion of Language" and
grammar" from the assignment in
Charters, after which Mr. Nielsen ex-
planned the six Year High School
plan which is being adopted in some
schools.
AS president of the Teachers Club,
Mr.. Osborne called for report Of the
