Approves Oregon System

Editor Morning Journal:
Your editorial in the journal Oh
the nth entitled ''The Women Noted
for Wilson calls oregon the 'treakI- +
est of the freaky states. When !
think of the political situation In thal
state / am lead to believe that the
women voted sfor Wilson there IN
about the same proportOnate num-
bor as they did in the other states OF
the west. When you figure the
Hughes plurality of some 5000 votes
there against the registration when
was $4,000 Republicans and IEOVV
Democrats you will at once he con-
ynced that oregon has her full share
Of Independent voters. As | figure it
more than $4,000 registered Repup-
lsCans voted for Wilson i'm the recent
election As ! recall 1912 they gave
Taft and Roosevelt combined more
than 25,0O0 majority and in 1908 TAFT
had $4,000 to spare while i'm l9O4
Roosevelt beat Parker some 10000
votes. To the extent that you say
the women voted for Wilson YOU are
right but ! do not think that oregon
is n particularly freaky state. Not
WithStandng their advanced position

the stringent amendment to that law,
which was submitted at this cleo
tiOn. together with the so called beer
amendment, were both turned down.
If the referendum is freaky they
are guilty alright and it is a safe bet
that If good many of the acts Of the
n NJ. state legislature were referred
to the people for final action i'm the
same way we would have less politics
and more constructive work done at
Santa Fo every second year If a
corrupt practice act that prevents
corruption is freaky, if a headless
Australian ballot is freaky and if the
acts Of omission as well as the acts
Of commission of the legislature are
subject TO the action of the voters
can be called freaky then that state
is entitled to be called the freakiest Of
the freaky.

Two sets of pickers usually pluck the

When carefully steamed the birds

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backachs
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat. says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
oyerworks the kidneys in their effort
TO filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
Oackache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness

REDUCE POULTRY FEED COST
Fowls Thrive on Glover, Alfalfa, Beets,

All Easy Crops.

The cost of feed can be consider
ably cut down by raising corn, and
also by raising roots and general
green crops. 1t will pay to have a
patch OF clover, or alfalfa: to have
a bed of beets, one OF turnips, one of
cabbage, one of potatoes. and one Of
onions. Poultry relish and thrive on
all OF these. They are crops tat can
be attended to during leisure times,
and will make a good showing in the

Disturbing and Summer Pruning.
Disturbing and pinching back of the
young shoots of fruit trees are the only
hope Of those who have neglected to
prune properly during the fall and win
ter and yet wish to control somewhat
the shape and fruiting habits of the
trees for the coming season. On the
other hand, many expert growers who
have properly attended to pruning,
study their trees carefully in the sum,
mer and by disbudding and pinching
are able still further to control their
growth. Some experts starting with
very young trees rely almost wholly
on disbudding and pinching. because
they say that it is more logical to di.
allow it TO waste its energies in form
ing wood which only has to be cut OF
by a pruning knife. These processes,
however. call for even greater care
than ordinary pruning because, OF
course, it is easier to injure a growing
tree than to deal with a dormant one.
In the case Of older trees, however.
disbudding and pinching. of course, ara
not substitutes for pruning and getting
rid of old wood. Once a tree has es-
tablished old wood, disbudding simply
controls the development of new
shoots and the saw or pruning hook
alone will dispose OF interfering
branches or old growth.
Disturbing should begin when the
young buds are large enough to be
pinched out with the thumb and finger,
The process should be repeated rather
than an attempt made to take on many
buds at a time. The buds which are
left should remain where they will
grow up and close up the open tree
spaces and bring about more COM
pact form. Disturbing is often prac-
ticed on fruit trees grown under glass,
where the branches must necessarily
be kept within a very small area and
where conservation of the vigor of the
tree is of great importance. Disbud-
ding is often practieed with advantage
on apples, peaches. pears and other
fruit trees and vines.
Summer pruning is similar in meth,
cd and results in the control of growth
without the removal OF foliage It con-
sists in pinching OF the extreme termi-
nal buds OF the growing shoots, result
ing in checking and redirecting the
growth without injury to the vitality
of the plant. The injuries sustained
by a rude and careless destruction of
foliage are well exemplifed in the
management Of grapes where the sum
mer pruning is delayed until it is con-
sidered necessary 10 cut from u to 20
inches from the tip OF each shoot. so
checking the plants that further
growth will be slow and the fruit will
fail to mature. Full and perfect matur-
fly of fruit depends upon full growth
of healthy, mature foliage.

and disbudding may be secured by
