Militia Trains
Stop Hour Here

All of the trains carrying the Ore
gon militia en- route for the border
stop over an hour in Ashland, and
the lengthy stop enables the troops
to get needed exercise. The trains
are emptied while in Ashland and
most of the boys visit the downtown
section. The lithia water fountains
at the station are we'll patronized
also. The militiamen all seem to be
in the best of spirits and are much
envied by the members of the local
coast artillery, many of whom have
acouaintances formed at encamp-
ments among the southbound troops.
Many of the soldier boys have rela-
tives in Ashland, and scenes of part
ing are not infrequent. Lieutenant
Colonel John L. May, in command of
the second battalion of the Third
Oregon Infantry, is a former Ash
lander and commanded a company
from here in the war with Spain. A
number of old comrades of bygone
campaigns greeted him here.

Farmers See
Alfalfa Plots

Twenty-Five farmers interested in
alfalfa growing left Medford in cars
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon to
attend the alfalfa demonstration held
on the Mike Hanley and Bernst
ranches near Central Point.
On the two ranches some twenty
plots have been treated with differ
ent varieties of fertilizer, all of the
plots showing good results with the
exception of those treated with nj
trate of soda and pure phosphorus.
Many farmers have been paying high
prices for these fertilizers and have
been at loss to understand the lack
of results. In all cases, however,
where any fertilizer containing any
form of sulphur was applied the re-
suits were most satisfactory Where
check plots were not worth cutting
those a few feet away treated with
sulphur showed fine second crop.
According to Pathologist Cate, the
pyrites that will be available in i'm
mense quantities at the opening of
the Blue Ledge district will furnish
an ideal sulphur fertilizer This
product can be ground here, If rail
road transportation is available, and
sold at from $S to $40 a ton. The
pyrites in its present form contains
about 30 per cent sulphur and can be
easily concentrated to a content of
80 per cent.
Raw lump pyrites was applied last
spring to several plots and showed a
noticeable improvement in the crop.
However, If the pyrites is ground as
fine as sulphur and applied at 100
pounds to the acre, remarkable re-
suits may be expected, lasting over
two or three years. At present gyp-
sum and pure sulphur are the most
practical forms to use. The war,
however, has boosted the price of
sulphur to about $50 ton.
AS soon as cuttings are finished
and all available data has been gath
cred bulletin will be published CIV
ing to growers the exact findings as
to fertilization of alfalfa.

Walt Mason on Homemade Goods"

Why send afar, to Cork or Rome,
For Sunday hats or bales of hay?
Let's buy The goods we make al home
And show we're patriots that way!
The giant vessels sail the deep,
And bring us doodads made abroad.
We buy such traps and fail to keep
Our money on our native sod.
Those ships take back our hard earned cash
To pay the freight for Europes kings;
To pay for battle succotash
And stuff we grow at home, by jings!
My wife's new lid was made in France,
And It's phony thing indeed
The broadcloth in my Sunday pants
Was manufactured by Tweed.
The sauce the grocer sent today
Was brought from London in crate;
1t costs like blitzen-I must pay
The duty added to the freight
We sing our patriotic songs
And boost the flag and seldom cease;
But when we want gargoyles or gongs
We ship them in from Southern Greece.
And as | write hundred barks
Bring curlycues across the foam;
Oh, profit by these sage remarks
And learn to buy your junk at home
