Reimer. Gets Results
With Use Of Sulphur

President w. ]. Kerr of o. A. c.,
Jefferson Myers of Portland, one of
the regents of the college, Mrs.
Myers, Addison Bennett, Portland
Oregonian staff correspondent, and
H. R. Glaisyer, Klamath county agri-
cultural expert, were taken to the
branch experiment station at Talent
Saturday morning by Prof. F. c..
Reimer, superintendent Of the sta
tion, and NJ. p. Henderson, county
pathologist, and others, where they
were surprised at the wonderful work
being accomplished there. One of the
chief experiments is with biight-re-
sisting pears. There are 500 varie-
ties of pear trees on the farm, from
every country that raises pears, and
Superintendent Reimer says he has
developed varieties that positively
are blight resisting.
In the afternoon the visitors were
taken to the farm of Mrs. Bernist,
seven miles northeast Of Medford,
where experiments are being con-
Quoted with alfalfa by dry farming
on heavy sticky. 1t has been con-
tended that alfalfa would not grow
profitably on sticky, but Superintend-
ent Reimer said it could if the ele-
ment in the soil that is lacking could
be supplied, and he claimed that was
sulphur and has proven it. On the
Bernist farm are three small tracts
that show wonderful results. On one
tract pure sulphur was used as fer
tilizer, in proportions that would
mean 100 pounds to the acre, on an
other iron sulphate, and on another
calcium sulphate. Both of the latter
we're used in sufficient quantities that
the sulphur would equal 100 pounds
to the acre. The first cutting showed
an increase of 600 per cent over the
alfalfa planted along the same tracts
being fertilized, the cutting
showing over two tons to the acre.
The second crop is now ready to cut
and is as heavy as the first crop.
With rain there will be third crop
equally as good. Professor Reimer
says the sulphur for an acre of fer
tilizer would cost $3.50. Expert
ments are being conducted with al
falfa and clover on 21 farms in this
county.

Efficiency Tests
on S. P. Railroad

An interesting sidelight on the eff
ficiency of the railroad man of today
is afforded by the figures of Vice
President and General Manager W..
r. Scott of the Southern Pacific on
the efficiency tests made during the
last three years. Out of 74,116
checks on the observance of operat-
ing rules by trainmen and engine
men on the Pacific system there were
but few cases wherein the signal was
not respected-a percentage of 99.S3,
perfect
These tests are one of the biggest
factors in the railroads. protection
of the life and limb of the travelling
public. By them, officials are en-
abled to detect the careless man and,
in their opinion, the man who is
careless is not the man TO be en-
trusted with any share of the re-
sponsl5ility of safely Transporting
passengers from one part of the
country to the other.
The tests are made by division SUI
perintendents and their respective
staffs and under conditions that ex-
ist in everyday service. The feature
of them, however, is that they re-
veal remarkable degree of eff
cheney on the part OF the railroad
employe, something that is reflected
in the great record made by the
American roads in their safety first
campaigns. The frequency of the
checks made on the heed Of danger
signals only serves to emphasize the
capability of the men. There are
twenty-five tests in all and each Of

an accurate record of the checks on
individual employees. He fills out

tion and train and engine number;
the name of the conductor and en-
gineer and the kind of check made.
The Southern Pacific was the first
railroad to keep an accurate file of
the individual records, and these
have played the important part in
the promotion of the deserving.
This record speaks worlds for the
and efficiency on the part
of the employees of the company"
says Vice-President Scott, "and it
was this efficiency on the part of
the employees of the company that
enabled the Southern Pacific to win
the Hartman memorial medal"

Oregon Fourth
Lumber State

According to the government fig
ures for 1918, Oregon ranks fourth
in the list of lumber-producing
states, having advanced from twenty
third place in the past decade.
According to the 1913 figures,
Washington still ranks first in lum-
ber production. In fact, the reputed
production in this state for 1918,
approximately 4,6OO,00O,OOO feet
was the largest ever reported for that
state or any other state. Michigan
approached this figure in 1890 by
reporting a production of 4,311, ,OOO,-
900 feet.
The cut OF Douglas fir in 1913 was
the largest ever reported for this
species, being over 5,50O,OO0, 900
feet. This figures is for a single
species. The cut of yellow pine for
1913 was reported as nearly 15,000,-
100000 feet, which figure was sec
ond only to that reported in 1909.
The latter figure is made up of all
species commercially known as yell
low pine.
Out of population of approxi-
mately $4,000 people in Oregon,
$4,000, or one-sixth of the total num-
ber, are directly dependent upon the
lumber industry. OF population of
1,142,00O people in Washington, 16
per cent, or approximately $4,000,
are dependent upon the lumber in
