Movable Schools

One to six day movable schools
will be conducted ny the extension
service of the Oregon Agricultural
college throughout the year, the type
of school work being changed dur
ing the various seasons.
Any local organization, such as a
Farmers Union, Grange or other or
ganization in which farmers of the
community are interested, may pro-
mote a movable school. In counties
having county agents, it is necessary
to arrange for the school through
them. Such organizations or persons
interested in securing a movable
school should take up the matter
with the extension service, Oregon
Agricultural college, Corvallis.
Owing to the heavy demand made
for this type of work the past few
years and to the failure of some
points to meet the expectations OF
the organizers and the extension
service, a few special requirements
are being made of all communities
requesting this service.
/. Organize a class of not fewer
than 20 people for one day school
and Of not less than 40 people tor
a longer school, these people agree
ing to attend all sessions requested
2. Provide a room in which tc
hold the school or a place for dem
onstration, take care of heat, light
and janitor service, and furnish con
veyance to and from the railroad

Transplant in the Fall

In general the fall is the best
time to plant trees and shrubs on
the home grounds. When planted
in the fall, the plant is given an OPP
portunity to spend its strength in
producing new root growth rather
than top growth. These new roots
are the feeding roots and if well
established will give added vigor to
the plant the following year. The
protection and health of the root sys-
tenn is the most important considera-
ton in plant growing.
There are some exceptions to this
rule. If the summer and fall sea-
sons have been unusually dry and
the plant has suffered from drought,
it may be best to wait until early
spring to transplant, as plants may
recuperate during the winter. In
some parts of the country late sum
mer planting of evergreens has prov
ed best.
1t is best to transplant all trees
and shrubs in the fall. 1t is pos
sible to move plants after they have
leafed out, but there is some dan
ger of over evaporation Of moisture
for the leaves and bark which will
exhaust the strength of the roots.
The plant will then show wilt and
spend its strength on, new leaves in
stead of readjusting its roots. To
lessen the danger from evaporation
it is always well to cut the tops back
severely and, if in leaf, the trunk
of a tree should be wrapped with
straw or sphagnum moss to keep it
moist. 1t is better to transplant
early in the morning or late in the
afternoon.
Rainy or cloudy days are the best
ones in which to do planting. Trans
plant after the leaves drop in the
autumn or before they open in the
spring. Remove injured roots, the
broken branches, and cut back the
tops. Preserve the fine hair-like
roots, they are the feeders and only
serve as anchors. Never allow the
roots to dry out in the wind or sun.
Dig the hole much larger than the
spread of the roots and do not bend
or crowd them. lamp the soil firm
ly and closely about the roots but
leave about inches of loose soil

Says
Stars Will Shoot

University of oregon, Eugene, Oct.
1.-Two separate annual displays or
shooting stars will be visible
throughout Oregon Nov. 15 and "a,
according to E. II. McAllister, pro-
fessor of astronomy and mechanics
in the state university. The display
due on Nov. Is, may be seen in the
early morning hours; that of Nov.
"a is due in the early evening. The
earth at these times will be cutting
through the orbit OF the swarm OF
meteors from which the stars come.
Display OF the aurora borealis win
be visible in Oregon next winter,
for the first time in Ii years, Mr..
McAllister says. Northern lights are
dim in this latitude of the west ,ex-
cept when the sun spots have reach
ed their maximum number, which oc-
ours only once in II years. A con-
nection between the sun spots ana
the aurora borealis is believed by
many scientists to exist.
