results from the use Of hay caps on
the shocks Of hay as It is put up in
the field, but that is another story.
"The use OF pure sulphur is said
to have tendency to increase the
acidity in soils. therefore on soils
where an acid condition exists ground
lime stone should be used in con-
nection with the sulphur or else use
superphosphate or calcium sulphate
instead OF the pure sulphur.
'.You will note that weights were
obtained from the alfalfa at only two
cuttings. The first cutting was put
up during the very bad weather in
May. when 1t was difflcult to get fair
weights owing to the rain. and the

first cutting was considerably heavier

EXPERIMENTS IN FERTlLIzA-
TON.

EXPERIMENTS IN FERTlLllA-
TON.
The Rogue River valley contains
: variety Of soils. all of exceeding
fertility when properly handled. But
through continuous cropping to cer-
tain crops some OF the needed plant
foods have been robbed from the
soil while others are not available un-
less liberated through the applica-
tion Of other agents. Many of the
problems that have confronted the
grower can be solved through the
work OF the county agriculturist
working in cooperation with the
agricultural college and the farmers.
but some individual Investigators
have already done valuable work in
experimentation. On the River Banks
farm Of the Leonard Orchards, Clyde
E. Niles, the manager. has conducted
number Of original and highly valu-
able experiments that have produced
results that every farmer would do
well to heed. These experiments are
in the fertilization OF alfalfa and al
sike clover fields, and show the in
creased returns that have come
through proper knowledge Of soil
conditions.
With land plaster, at cost of $14
per ton, and applied at the rate Of
200 pounds per acre. or cost Of
$1.sO an acre, 1870 pounds Of hay
was harvested at one cutting, the
value OF the hay at $40 per ton being
$11.10.
Superphosphate was applied at the
rate Of 200 pounds per acre, the yield
Of hay per acre being 1878 pounds.
valued at s26.S7. The cost Of fer
tiIizer per acre was $3.50.
A check plot, upon which no fer
tilizer was applied, gave 1,71o pounds
Of hay per acre, valued at sS.55.
The above were all from the first
cutting, and the field was pastured
during the balance Of the season.
with field Of alfalfa, experiments
were made in fertilizing with sulphur
and with superphosphate. check plots
being grown alongside. The plots
were all taken from the center OF the
field, where conditions we're uniform
The hay Of the second and the fourth
cuttings was weighed for the test.
Sulphur, valued at $55 per ton
was applied at the rate OF 200 pounds
per acre. The second cutting pro
duced zoe tons, and the fourth 1.2'
tons, the total value being $33.4O
Superphosphate, valued at s2S pc
ton, was applied at the rate of 20
pounds per acre. The second cuttin
produced 1.49 tons. and the fourt
1929 tons, OF total value Of $276C
The check plot without fertiliza
ton produced $50 tons at the secon
cutting and IA at the fourth, tn
value being $3.50.
In submitting these figures, MI
Niles writes the Courier:
From the weights taken OF occa
sional loads from the balance Of th
field, we found that the fertilized SCI
tions gave us return of eh ton
per acre for the season, while tn
untreated sections gave return
from TX to 2 tons per acre for tn

season. This field had sbeen seede
to alfalfa in May, 1914, and had pr
viously been farmed for about twentl
flve years without anything in III
way Of fertility having been returnt
to the land.

SUNSET ON THE ROGUE RIVER

The valley rolls to the river,
And the river is tinged with fire
As the shadows of the sunset culver
Like the strings Of golden Tyre.
And the mountains, like sentinels olden,
In FURNISHED steel they glow,
While kiss Of the sunset golden
They toss to the valley below.
The valley rolls to the river,
But the cheek Of the river is wan,
Like the lips Of a maid, when the giver
Of the kiss in the twilight is gone
But the sentinel peaks are bolder,
Like giants in the gloom they grow,
And, with forest of guns at the shoulder,
They guard the valley below

Astoria, Feb. 1s.-The city OF As
toria donne dholiday garb today on
receipt OF United Press dispatches
saying that the interstate commerce
commission rendered q favorable de-
cision in the famous rate case.
The removal OF the discriminatory
rates eliminates the last obstacle In
the way OF Astoria becoming one Of
the leading Pacific coast ports.
Two things heretofore have stood
in the way OF Astoria's growth as q
port. The first was the Columbia
river bar. That has disappeared. The
second was discriminatory rates.
Ships did not stop at Astoria because
II cost more to bring cargoes to the
wharves than II did at Seattle. Ta-
coma and Portland. The city pro-
tested in 1909. The commission de-
cided against Astoria in 1918. and
another complaint was fled. The
taking Of evidence began in June.
1914. The commission took the case
under advisement in October. 1914.

fact that ocean liners do not stop at
Astoria as long as lower rail rates
exist from the inland empire to Puget
sound cities,
Apparently. therefore," said the
findings, Astoria can not develop
into great port while this rate re-
lationship continues and the general
relationship OF Seattle. Tacoma and
Astoria makes II clear that Astoria Is
subjected to an unlawful rate bur
den."
The commission assumes that Port
land will later ask for lower rates to
the inland empire than Astoria's. be-
cause It Is 100 miles nearer. but says
that reduction OF the Portland rate
does not necessarily follow as an
inevitable consequence OF the reduc-
tion now ordered. The decision was
delivered by Commissioner Harlan.

along the lake. Milwaukee has fol
lowed suit and other cities find that
the breathing place along the lake is
the most popular with the people. A
chain Of parks extending all along the
north lake shore here would be of in
estimable value to the future Kenosha.
1t is not always going to be easy for
the city to get possession of property
needed for park purposes. Some of it
will cost more now than it would have
cost ten years ago. All of it will cost
a lot more ten years from now With
out the gift to the city of the Wash
ington Island property it would have
been folly to suggest the purchase Of
the lake shore lands With it as a
starter it becomes almost criminal on
the part of officials not to buy it.
Kenosha mas plenty of breathing
spots now. In the north and south and
west part of the city are small parks.
The one big effort should be made to
secure real park along the lake shore.
Tt is a park which will be for all the
people and will become more valuable
as the years go by.

Why Hughes is Needed in This Ire
mendous Crisis.

Against Mr.. Wilson S combination of
grace in elocution with futihty in ac-
ton; against his record of words I'M
backed by deeds or betrayed by deeds,
we set Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising ghtforwardnes of
character and action in every office he
has held. We put the man who thinks
and speaks directly, and whose words
have always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile elocu-
ton is used to conceal his plans or his
want Of plans. The next four years
may well be years of tremendous ma
tional strain. Which Of the two men
do you, the American people, wish at
the helm during these four years; the
man who has been actually tried and
found wanting, or the man whose whole
career in public Office is a guarantee of
his power and good faith2 But one
answer is possible; and it must be
given by the American people through
United States.-Theodore Roosevelt.

2, 1915, total Of 179 Republicans voted
for the measure and only one Republi-
can against it. On the Democratic side

against it. This record speaks for it.
self; and yet, in face of the fact that
1t was Republican members of Con-
gress who advocated the passage of this
bill on the floor and later backed up
their words by their votes, the Demo-

the passage of the child-labor bill.
If the Democratic party is so inter

ing children, why does it not pass a law
prohibiting the importation Of foreign
child-made products into our coun-
tryg During the consideration of the
revenue measure one of the Republican
members offered an amendment prohib-

made products into this country. Where
