A WARNING TO
POTATO GROWERS

Farmers of Forest county should
especially watch out and prevent the
introduction of diseases which will
ruin our future trade in quality pota-
toes. Do not send off somewhere and
get some fancy variety guaranteed
pure" "bug- proof" "scab-proof," etc.,
that is offered by some mail order
house or agent. We have the best seed
obtainable right here and we know
that the disease has not been found.
Don't buy seed eyes and pay big
price and then run the risk of injuring
our market for potatoes. If you are
contemplating the ordering of seed
from out of state get in touch with
the County Representative first.
Are you interested in potato inspec-
tion and certifcation of pure seed and
market stock? This is one of the steps
in our campaign for better marketing
of our potato crop. Speak to me about
the matter. Let me know what kinds
and how much you will have and
whether you want inspection. Are you
treating your seed for seab and similar
diseases? Scab is absolutely inexcus-
able. For assistance along these lines
call on the agricultural representative.

SWAT 1T NOW.

| Authorities have doped it out that
this is the gentle spring time when
the flies buzz and the housewives
, should get busy ON the swat. The
spring time, says the health authori-
ties is the breeding season of the
fly and one fly swatted now is better
than dozen flies swatted in July.
Some of he diseases which the UNI
swatted fly causes are the following:
Typhoid fever. tuberculosis of the
lungs, conjunctiyitis, diarrhoo2
and dvesentery. Germs are carried
by the flies in the feet, and they take
the inrestious dirt from the manure
pile to the Kitchen; from the gar
bage can to the milk bottle and from
street filth to the baby's face.
Garbage and manure are the chief
nests for the development of flies.
said DR. Cogswe,l OF the state board
of health. They produce SO rapidly
| that one hv in the spring will be-
come the progenitor OF millions OF
| flies during the summer. 1t Is estl-
mated that the average domestic fly
can travel from 800 to 1000 yards.
and taking into consideration that
they may be carried great distances
on trains or ships. the spread OF dis
eases will be equally extensive.
There is some advice which DIR.
Cogswell gives and. it carried out.
will, he thinks. go a long way
toward reducing the fly evil:
Screen all doors and windows in
the early spring.
Allow no garbage. soiled news
papers, trash or dirt to accumulate
in the cellar, yard or back alley.
Keep all drains clean and free
from distractions
Cover the garbage can tightly.
Cleanse it frequently with solution
of wash soda.
Do not allow food of any kind to
remain uncovered, particularly milk,
puddings and custards. The sugar
bowl should be kept covered. Keep
cakes, pastry and all sweets under
cover.
The kitchen sink should be free
from fruit and vegetable parings or
tea leaves.
Remove all food and soiled dishes
from the table Immediately after
meals and wash the dishes promptly
Keep the icebox clean and tree
from odors and the door tightly
closed.
See that all leaks from toilets and
drain pipes are repaired promptly.
Empty all dirty water from bas-
ms and slopjars as soon as used.
Cuspidors should be cleansed

about eight feet, and it seems prob.
able than at the opening of the irri-
CATION season there will be 4 consid-
cradle supply of water. After the
spring flood passes the supplv will
depend on rains in the country
through which the river flows
There is a much larger area under
ditch this year than in previous sea-
sons, owing to the completion of new
canals by the contractors. Up to
this season the land which could be
irrigated under the government
bitches was south Of the river from
Dodson Dam to Alkali Creek and
north of the river from the dam to
Wagner, total of about $4,000
acres. This season about 100000
acres of land are under completed
ditch. Whatever the river supplies
will be available Tor application to
this land, which extends ON the
south side of the river from Dodson
Dam to Strater. on the north side
of the river. Judging from the past,
it is not probable that the entire
area could be irrigated from the
water running in -1ilk River, but the
supply that is obtainable, if properly
used, will undoubtedly be consid-
cradle aid to crops. Dodson North
Canal and Dodson South Canal to
Alkali Creek will be operated at the
beginning of the season, and the
Vim is to have the remainder of
Dodson South Canal and Vandalia
South Canal ready for water deliy-
cry by June 1st
For the information of those who
are Interested jn securing irrigation
water this year the following state
ment is given. Available water win
be furnished ct the rate OF s
per acre-foo.. A regular form OF
application, which is to be signed by
the person applying for water, may
be obtained from the Reclamation
office at Malta, Wagner or Glasgow.
Owners or entrymen OF lands sub
s,cribed to the Water Users Asso-
citation. or lessees of land owned by
the State are entitled to make ap-
plication for water. The applicant
is required to pay only one-half the
water rental price upon making ap-
plication. the remainder being due
at the close of the season. and
should water not be obtainable, he
is entitled to a refund of any amount
of Overpayment. Water users
should make their applications for
water as much as possible in adj
vance of the time when they wish
to irrigate, and in that way any loss
that might arise from delay will be
avoided.

NAMES OF WITNESSES
MUST BE CORRECT

A new ru,c has been adopted. ac-
according to recent decision of the
general land Office, which REQUIRES
that the names OF all witnesses must
be spelled absolutely correctly in the
notice of publication which is flied
out at the commissioners office and
subsequently published IL ~, news
papers.
The ruling requires that all wit
nesses sign their names when the
final proof is made, and a deposition
is taken from each witness to the eff
feet that the name as signed is the
correct spelling of his own signature
The spelling must correspond with
that in the original application blank
as written before the U. S. Com
missioner.
In view of this fact .claman here
after making application for final
proof, would do we'll to be absolute
ly certain as to the correct spelling
of their witnesses names in order
that they may avoid the necessity Of
a reublication of their notices.

Wallis - Marketing farm products Is
perhaps the biggest question before
the American farmers today. accord
ing to Dean ]. A. Bexell Of the school
Of commerce at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. As long as the middle
man can market the products better
than the farmer. he win be paid, and
paid well, for his services. but with a
better organization among farmers,
which is now growing rapidly. a large
part Of the proceeds will go into the
farmers pocket.
Dean Bexell showed that the farmer
is the largest salesman in the world,
ceiling about $40, 900. 900, 900 Of goods
year. They are very inefficient in
marketing their crops. although they
are the most expert traders in the
world.
He suggested that the farmers CO.
operate to secure good, uniform prod
ucts In their districts, and then adver-
tise them persistently on the commun-
ity plan and thus create demand for
that particular kind Of produce. The

who advocates an organization of the
manufacturers for the purpose Of get
ing their 0regon-made wares more
before the public and into
the markets by means of advertising
and cooperative effort. The combined
output Of the Industries Is about $780,
600 annually, and the expenditures
average about $500 for each $50. 900
of output. A part Of this sum will be
expended In promoting demand for
the clay goods, especially drainage
tiles.
In the clay industries as in most 9TH
ers the attention given to production
is disproportionate to that given to
creating and enlarging the demand.
Right quality of prodcut that will
maintain a permanent demand together
with due advertising and publicity,
