The springs water commission has
decided not to contest the jurisdic-
tion of the park commission in Lithia
Park. AS soon as the development
work is completed the matter will
be taken to the people through an
election. Whether the park commits
sion or the springs commission is in
authority in forwarding the resort
features of the springs project, spec
ial funds must be provided for the
work. 1t will take money to put Ash
land on the map as successful wa
tering resort. AS funds are not avail
able, either for the park commission
or springs commission, adequate to
the needs, an election to vote the
necessary funds will be necessary. At
the same election the jurisdiction can
be determined, In the meantime the
springs commission and the Tidings
will cooperate with the park board
in every manner possible to make the
undertaking success. The springs
commission has had no criticism of
any member of the park board. Its
experience in the work leads it to but
one conclusion; the commission that
handles the springs and resort mat
ter should have jurisdiction over the
complete, work, including publicity,
park authority and physical plant.
The three are so closely connected
that none of them can be successful
ly handled without friction, unless
all are directed by the same power

The new Southern Pacific folder,
"Oregon Outdoors" has just been
issued. Three pictures of Ashland
springs development are shown-the
depot fountain, lithia fountain in the
park and a creek view showing the
two falls just below the park en-
trance. 1t carries a page and a half
on Ashland resort, and from an ar
tistic standpoint is one of the finest
folders ever produced by the South
ern Pacific. A very large edition
was printed and is a great advertise
ment for Ashland. The Southern
Pacific Company is splendidly fulfill
ing its part in advertising Ashland.

MILITARY INSPECTION
AT ST. JOHNS COLLEGE.
The Work Progressing, Despite Rain,
Under Capt Bayard Schindell
u. s. A.

Captain S. J. Bayard Schindell, u.
5. A., has now completed the Annual
Inspection of the Military Department
of st. Johns College, and, while he is
very reticent as to details of his re-
port, he is evidently much pleased
with general conditions and efficiency.
He arrived, ana began his inspection
on Tuesday, going carefully through
all buildings. Though a heavy rain
was falling. yet with true soldierly
spirit the cadets went through their
squad and battalion drills, following
them with a dress parade, as though
they expected to put their training in
to practical use in the service Of the
Country.
Today, in more propitious weather
they were engaged in manuoeuvres
and outpost duty. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that Lieutenant McNeill's very
efficient service as Commandant will
be recognized, and St. Johns again be
rated as one Of the first ten in the
class of distinguished colleges.

DESTROY THE COTTON STALK
An Effective Method Of Boil WeeV'l
Control.

Experiments have proved that one
Of the most effective means OF Doll
Weeyil control is the early destruction
x the green cotton stalks. This early
destruction of the growing stalks &C.
conplishes three things:
On Destruction of all immature
weovils in boIIs and squares.
(2) Destruction Of al food sup
plies for adult weevil, compelling all
these weevil to do without food Intli
cold weather forces them into lllbeTna-
tion This makes the adult Weevll 8"
into winter quarters weak from star
walton and in bad condition to With
stand the cold.
(3) Destruction Of al breeding
places. This early stall, destruction
DUPLICATES in large measure the ef-
fects of freezing temperatures.
In order to make cotton a proflta-
BILE crop, the best cultural methods
must be adopted and all means OF
controlling weevil damage must be
used faithfully and persistently.
Early destruction Of the green and
growing stalks is the first step.
Where the farmers have the neces-
sary tools, the best way to handle the
! stalks is to chop them up fine with a
stalk cutter or disc harrow. Then
pillow under as deep as possible, thor
oughly covering all OF the chopped
stalks. If possible, plant some win
ter cover crop on the land, some OF
the clovers being the best for this
purpose.
The next best method is to cut the
ssalks, and pile and burn them as soon
as the leaves, stems and squares Will
make a quick blaze Don't wait I'M
I'll all the stalk is dry, or the weeT!l
VII all have Matched and most Of the
labor will be in vain.
The effort of each individual farmer
in destroying his stalks will be pro
ductive of some good Community co
operative effort, however, is what IS
required to meet this situation in the
best possible way. IF every commnn
ity in the cotton section = the state
would destroy all cotton stalks by No
vember I, at the latest, it would b
worth thousands Of dollars to the coz
ton industry in larger yields mex
