OREGON GROWERS
URGED TO ACT

Oregon apple growers will be encour-
aged to participate In the federal CO.
operative, IL funds for campaign can
be secured, it was stated last week by
the Oregonian. 1t Is estimated that
approximately $4500 will be required
for this purpose. A part of the sum
can be procured from the Agricultural
college. it is believed.
The Chamber of Commerce will be
asked to contribute some, but members
Of the chamber present expressed doubt
whether money could be voted from its
treasury for this purpose. The propos-
al will be presented to the chamber di.
rectors.
Present at Portland meeting were
representatives of various interests
have been active in promoting the h0r-
ticultural development of the state.
H. W. Kerr, one of the government in
vestigators, explained the plan that
the federal bureau has mapped out. In
general. this plan aims to provide a
stabilized market. but does not pur-
pose to fix prices.
Edward Cookingham. Henry L. Cor
bett, A. P. Bateham, and others who
have given the project careful study
endorsed il enthusiastically.
Prof. Hector MACPHERSON. of the
state agricultural college. further ex.
planned the plan and urged its adop-
tion.
1t was pointed out, however, that the
growers in Oregon. particularly in the
Willamette valley, have been slow to
take advantage of the scheme; that in
fact they are not informed on it al all.
Growers in Washington and Idaho, it
was explained, have joined the enter.
prise almost without exception.
If the Oregon growers are to share
in the benefits of the governments SER
vices. said several of the speakers, they
must be informed on the plan. They
must be educated. and it is for the pur.
pose of conducting this campaign of
education that funds are to be sought.

Complaints are now being made by
ranchers because of the destruction of
new young garden truck by China
pheasants. The birds are said, too. to
be a menace to corn acreage. Although
hundreds of the pheasants were killed
by the severe snow storms of the past
winter, large fiocks Of them remain.
The birds seem to relish the tender
sprouts of growing corn and vegetables
and will enter a field or garden and
clean the truck from one rows end to

NOTES

If old pots are used for potting
bulbs they should be thoroughly
scrubbed and washed inside and out.
Do not use too large pots for bulbs.
FOur-inch pots will hold one hyaclnth
bulb and six-Inch pot will hold FIVE
tulips or five Roman hyacinths; three
hyacinths or three narcissi.
When pots of bulbs are placed in
dark, cool cellars or closets, give them
only sufficient water to keep the soil
moist. Examine them frequently and
see that the soil does not become dry.
Six weeks is the usual time that
bulbs require to make a good root
growth, but some may require more
and some less time. When top growth
Is an inch high, the roots are possibly
sufficiently developed so the plant can
be started in growth. Stand the plants
on a table or the floor and cover with
newspaper for few days before ex-
posing to the strong light. Allow this
to remain for n few days and then
gradually reduce and admit light. As
soon as the plant assumes n deep green
color it may have unobstructed light.

ROSES GREATEST PRODUCT
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYsEN

DJ GLiZAbE n VAN DEN F1O OEN
1t is not often in this war-ridden pc
riod that any gentle bit Of information
comes from the zone Of cannon and
shell, but here is a most vltally inter
esting bit Of knowledge which has been
turned up, as 1t were, by the point of
the bayOnet and sent to us officially
from Sophia.
1t puts a new light upon altar of
roses and offers not only an intensely
interesting insight into the most valu-
| able character of rose culture, but, per-
| haps, valuable light for the guidance
/ of the American culturists, notably
along the Pacific coast, where roses are
| raised in many places so profusely that
hedges and lamp post and telephone
pole-ornaments are fashioned from the
yirile growths.
Once we had the idea that a weird
procession of camels, winding slowly
along the Persian heights, brought sea-
ward the altar of roses and that the
shah's domain had monopoly in this
line. Later the Turk came to be re-
garded as a competitor for the hOnOrs
of getting the most concentrated es-
sence known from the blossoms.
Now comes the official information
that Rose Valley, in Bulgaria, is the
worlds greatest source of the costly
perfume and that the Bulgarian pro-
fusion Of rose culture has cut the price
Of altar of roses from the old $50 an
ounce down to S12
Wo learn these things, and the ac-
comnanying absorbing detail, all be-
cause the Bulgarians are disturbed in
this gentle occupation by the more
pressing business of meeting the
allied arms on the south and the
Roumanans and the Russians to the
north. We have little interest in their
clash of arms on this page, other than
as it interferes with the worlds great
est rose garden.
The Bulgarian rose district lies on
the south side of the Balkan mountains
in territory that once belonged to Tur-
key. 1t is 1900 feet above the sea
level and constitutes a district about
as long as Long island and twice as
wide. There are in Rose Valley alone
10000 acres of roses and the atmos-
phere is so pregnant with the Odor
of the blossoms that IL is like standing
In the doorway Of a flower shop to
enter the fairy realm.
The roses are both red and white,
although the red, being the stronger,
is preferred for making altar of roses.
The young rose bush is planted IS
inches deep in mixture of earth and
manure, and when it is once tucked
away, after May of the third year it
becomes a paying property for the next
20 years.
The distillers take from the Bulga-
rian realm every year about 100000
roses. 1t is estimated that it takes 200
roses to make a pound and that the an
nual crop is about twenty tons. 1t

CHAPTER XIII.


"The Sweetest, Girl Know"
For almost ten days Larry Redmond
had lain. delirious, in a little church
in France, not many miles from Paris.
1t was only the wreck Of church now
for the German shells had swept it,
leaving ruin in their wake. Even the
statue of Christ on the Cross which
surmounted the altar had not escaped
deseeratlon, for the upper part of the
crucifx had been snapped off like
matchwood and now rested against the
lower part Of the figure of the Savior.
Re-enforcements had reached Trench
81 in time-thanks to Larry's heroism; /;
and though he knew nothing of what
had happened after he had fallen close
by the telephone, the British troops had
stemmed the gap in their defenses.
Along with others Of the injured,
Captain Redmond had been hurried
away from the front as fast as was
possible. until at last he had been re-
ceived into the field station for the
English wounded for which purpose

takes 10000 roses to produce an ounce
of altar. War and weather cut the
output this year to 10000 ounces, al.
though normally the country does
twice that volume Of business.

ture. From this he gets 80 pounds Of
rose water. This is again distilled to
make the concentrated extract. The
altar is the cream that rests on top
Of the redistillation. 1t Is skinned off
much like the farmer skins his milk.
There is serious opportunity for the
western culturist in America in this in
dustry. l understand that experts are
studying the Bulgarian reports to see
what real prospect may be found for

the chief markets for the output.

Listen to the buglesw he shouted.
"They're not playing retreat! That's
the call to attack! What does
1t mean?"
A messenger burst into the church.
"Who's in charge here?" he de-
manded.
81 am" Aubrey told him.
I'm from headquarters" the man
said. ,"Is Captain Lawrence Redmond
here?
Eyes, yes! I'm here" Larry called,
struggling to his feet with Ethers
help
The messenger crossed to where the
wounded man stood, half supported
by the girl.
"I have the honor to report" he an
nounced, that General French and
General Joffre extend to you their
grateful thanks for your information,
and to state that you have been men,
toned in the dispatches for signal
bravery in the cause Of the allies"
"Oh, my dear-and you said For
King and Country" Ethel exclaimed,
her heart near to bursting with pride
in him.
"What do I matter" he chided her,
"when out there they are driving us
back? Hear their guns" The little
structure that sheltered them shook
from cellar to raftered roof under the

"I have to add, sir, that your informa-
ton, coming at vital time, has en-
abled the English troops, in conjunc-
tlon with the French, to execute turn
ing movement. And after a fOur-days'
battle the enemy is now in retreat be-
yond the Marne."
Larry seemed not to grasp the news.
He looked duly at the man from head
quarters.

"The enemy is in retreat"
"But they said we were beaten"
Larry stammered.
"I'm Just in from the 'front.'" the
messenger informed him. II tell you,
the enemy is in retreat"
"And Paris? Paris is safeT' Larry
cried, as the Joy of it all broke over
him.
paris is safe" was the answer.
A band was playing now, apd those
glad folk in the little church could hear
the thunder Of marching feet.
"You hear?" the messenger asked.
THAT'S the French. The reserves are
coming up from Paris"
That's the English troops" Larry
shouted, as he recognized a familiar
marching air.
Eyes! They landed today" the man
said.
Larry stood there listening to the
welcome strains. One arm he had flung
about Ethel. And the other he waved
above his bandaged head.
More of our boys Off to the front?'
he exulted. "And do you mind what
they're playing, my darling?" he asked
her. 1t was "Tipperary."
The wounded men caught up the
song
Captain Redmond smiled happily as
the soldiers shouted the words; and as
they reached a certain passage of the
chorus he looked down at Ethel with
world of tenderness in his eyes and
held her closer.
The English Tommies were singing,

DECORATING THE TABLE
By 1. M. BENNINGTON.

1t is not necessary to have any un-

Frightening the house and giving a

There is nothing better in the whole

The telephone buzzer began TO cal

for few seconds. How he might be

But that he was hurt he had not the
slightest doubt. He could barely move
as consciousness returned to him. But
until the call of the telephone reused
him further he had been content to
lie where he fell-and rest. That sig
nal, however, spurred him to dogged
effort.
"The telephone! 1t isn't smashedv'
he cried. "Oh, God! Let me get to
that telephone! If they attack us now
we're done forw He dragged himself
along the Uttered floor Of the trench
for few feet, then sank down with a
groan. "Oh, my God! My leg" he
moaned. And then he drifted into a
delirium. His mind wandered back to

found himself in Sir George. Wagstaff's s

marry him. Soon he gained

A FEW LITTLE THINGS

Cut down the dead stems of peren-
malls to within five or six inches of the

Hardy flower beds are benefited by

sene, then coat with heavy oil before
storing it.
