regions where it grows The peel
ing season opens in April and closes
when the bark begins to tighten In
August. Bark obtained on the Nat
ional Forests is cut under methods
that provide for future supply.
Stumps six inches high are left with
the bark undisturbed. These sprout
readily and produce new trees. The
bark is taken off the tree in as long
strips as possible, spread on canvas
or other material to keep it off the
ground, and dried in the sun. In
some localities it is no unusal sight
to see the ranchers' fences and
smaller buildings covered with the
drying bark.
It is said that peeling and selling
casacar bark has furnished many a
poor homesteader with the grub
stake necessary to keep him going
while he was getting land cleared
and ready for cultivation. Fifteen
years ago the bark was still plentiful
and worth ten to twenty cents a
pound, which meant a good profit
for the bark gatherer. For the last
seven years the price has been from
g to cents pound at Portland,
so the ranchers have lost much of
their interest in bark peeling, and
only engage in it when nothing
better is in sight.

Spray Your Fruit Trees.

County Agent Marsh says that in
order to obtain the maxium results
in the production of good fruit at a
minimum cost the following sprays
should be given in addition to the
dormant spray Of lime suffer which
can be applied any time before the
buds burst. While strictly COM
mercial fruitgrower would give q
number more and in some seasons
the sprays mentioned would not
entirely protect the fruit, in the
majority of cases the small fruit
grower will be very successful with
The number advised.
Apple and Pearl. Use 1 and Y
gallons of concentrated lime-sulphur
to SO gallons of water Gone barrel. }
Add l pound of arsenate Of lead
powder or two pounds of arsenate
Of lead paste to the barrel (50
gallons) of the spray material.
Apply as soon as most of the petals
of the bloom have fallen and in any
case before the blossom end closes
up, which will be in about eight or
nine days from the time the blos-
SONS fall.
2. This spray should be repeated
about the first of July using the
same materials in the same proper
tions. Should aphis be troublesome
add " pint of Black Leef, forty to
the barrel of spray applied the first
time. If Bitter Rot has been pres
ent in the orchard use Bordeaux
mixture, pounds bluestone,
pounds lime and forty gallons of
water apply nine or ten weeks after
the first spray and if<the outbreak
should be serious repeat in two or
three weeks.
Peach and Plum. Use self
boiled lime sulphur $3.50, add 1
pound of arsenate of lead powder
or pounds of the arsenate of lead
paste to the SO gallons of the spray
mixture. Apply about ten days
after the blossoms drop or when the
shuck of the bloom is about one
third to one half off the young fruit.
2. Use the self boiled lime
sulphur $3.50 without the addition
of the arsenate of lead about one
month before the fruit ripens. If
he orchard has been badly affected
by brown rot apply spray No. / as
soon as the petals of the bloom have
begun to fall; repeat about four
weeks later then apply spray No. 2
as above.

National Forest Furnishes Cascara
Bark.

Thirty-six thousand pounds of
cascara bark were cut on the Sius-
law National Forest in Oregon, dur
ing the latter half of last year,
according to the Governments
foresters. A steady demand for this
bark for medicinal purposes, both in
the United States and in Europe, is
reported to exist. Before the war
most of the exported product went
to England and Germany.
The cascara bark industry began.
it is asserted, in California about
1865, and for many years California
led in the production of bark, export
ing as much as $4,000 pounds in a.
single year Now western Oregon
and to lesser degree western Wash
ington are the chief sources of sHp-
ply. The forest experts say that the
destructive methods usually prac-
ticed in obtaining the bark have re-
suited in almost exterminating the.
cascara tree on privately owned
land, leaving the National Forests
as the last available source OF
supply.
The tree from which casacra bark
is obtained is variously known as
cascara, chittim, and bearberry. 1t
is said that bears are fond of the
black, berry-like fruit which the tree
produces and sometimes scratch the
bark badly in climbing the trees to
secure It. The bear-scratched trees
are SO difficult to peel that they are
frequently left by the bark gather
ers. thus providing few seed trees

Most of the cascara bark is peeled
by settlers and small ranchers in the

ZIG CIRCUS DAY DRAWS
NEARER.
DRAWS
Unusual Amount OF Local Interest
Conferred On Coming OF
Barnum & Bailey.


Conferred On Coming OF
Barnum & Bailey.
The day Of all days in the calendar
of the small boy has almost arrived
and the youngsters of this vacinity
are anxiously counting the hours
until circus day. 1t looks now as
though large percentage of the
local population, both young and old,
will be present at one of the per-
formances when the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth ex-
hibits in Baltimore on May 1911.
Not in several years has so much
local interest been evinced in a cir
Gus event as has been displayed this
the Barnum & Bailey Circus. 1t is
promised that the show will display
more new and novel features than
ever before, including 100 new acts
from Europe.
The principal feature is the new
Oriental, spectacular pageant,
persia, or the Pageants of The
Thousand and One Nights" This
display, which is portrayed by 1880
persons and hundreds of horses,
elephants and camels, depicts in
pageantry the famous tales of the
Arabian Nights. In New York City,
where this pageant was produced for
the first time this Spring, it was
announced the most gorgeous and
stupendous Oriental display ever
presented in America.
Among the foreign circus novel
ties to be seen for the first time
this season are four troupes of
wonderful Chinese performers direct
from Perkin, the Great Hannerford
family of riders; Signor Bagonghi,
famous dwarf equestrian from Italy;
James Teddy, shampion jumper of
| the world; Pallenberg's two troupes
of trained bears, and host of other
novel acts too numerous to mention
individually.
The Barnum & Bailey circus is
travelling this season on five trains
made up of SO cars. More than
1,400 persons are carried in the
various departments Of this great
show, which also includes an en-
larged menagerie of 10S cages and
Al elephants.
A brilliant, new, three mile street
parade will be given on the streets
during the morning hours proceed
ing the first performance.

GERMAN-AMERiC
 STRAINED RELATIONS

The far from cordial feeling now existing between the Germans and the Americans leads to some amusing incidents in the business correspon- dence between the two nations. For | instance, a Hamburg house wrote an American publisher respecting the nonreceipt of certain numbers of g publication, with the requset that they be sent on In place of so doing, however, the American publisher sent the following terse note:
 Enclosed is an account for three dollars and sixty cents ($3.60) which now falls due for your subscription form May. 1914, to March, 1916. Every issue has been regularly mail ed to you. If any is missing 1t pro bably is because the ship was sunk by one of your submarines. You had better lay your claim against the Kaiser. We take no responsibility. To which the German firm replied in the following choice Billingsgate:
 Your reply is a piece of shameless impertinence. We request you not to connect your failure to deliver goods ordered with German subma- rines. Instead we advise you to take action against your friends the Eng fish, whom you allow to do as they like with your mails.
 'In the circumstances we decline to pay you a cent. If you want your money ask the dirty-souled Britons to pay you on our behalf. Pray do not send us any more of your publication. We shall decline to receive them henceforth. ."-Saturday Night.
