Salem 0. A. c. Student
One Of Five to Handle
Cereal Investigations
Especial to Capital Jeurnal)

Corvallis, Or, Oct. 3,-Albert Meier
of Salem, is one of the five o. A. C.
students appointed by the office of Ger
cal Investigations, United States depart
ment of agriculture, to work with Ore
gon farmers to control smut diseases of
wheat and other cereals. The men are
all specialists in treatment of grains
for smut and are now at work in the
field in various parts of the state.
The purpose of the new policy of pro-
viding specialists to work with the far
mers is to remove one of the leading
causes of unsatisfactory yield and quail
ity of grains. While the aim of the fed
eral board authorities is to secure an
increased acreage of 80 per cent, the ad-
ditional purpose of obtaining larger
yields of clean grain is held to be high
ly important. The cost of treatment is
small, and almost the only obstacle to
universal treatment is lack of exact
information on the extent and effect of
smuts in Oregon. The college students
will provide some of the information
and then assist the farmers in making
the necessary treatment.
Some of the demonstrations viii be
held in the fields with individual far
mer, but where number can get to-
gether public meetings will be held for
the purpose. Copies of the directions for
removing smuts, as practiced by the
farmer crops department at the col
lege, will be distributed. The work will
be pressed forward as fast as possible
50 that the fall planted grains, of which
there promises to be an unusually large
amount this year, may be freed of smut.
The work will be renewed in the spring,
so that an entire clean up may be Sc
cured. This wilLnOt only be a big gain
IN the national supply of cereals, but
also result in additional profits to the
individual growers.

NO LIBERTY men
Will EAT IN salem
This City Has Been Passed
and Red Cross Will Miss
Possible Profits

The treasury of Willamette chapter
is still in a deplorable, condition, which
means, it has no funds with which to
buy materials whereby the l04 auxil-
iaries may receive materials with
which to make hospital supplies. 1t was
thought the Red Cross here would re-
ceive several hundred dollars into its
treasury through the feeding of tho
national army soldiers on their way 10
American Lake. The government paid
the Red Cross go cents for each meal.
As much material and all help were
to DO donated, there was profit of
more than 800 from each troop train.
But now it seems that Salem will get
none of this government money for the
Red Cross, as the authorities some
where have decided to give Salem the
cold shoulder. At least from reports up
to date, no troop trains will be fed in
Salem. Either Albany or Portland will
get them.
The funds that were to be derived
from the serving of meals to the liber-
~ men will not be forthcoming and
now the only means of getting money
for Willamette chapter seems to be in
the campaign now on for the eollee-
tion of all waste paper between now
and October Is.
There is the opportunity to help and
yet not be out a dollar. All that is ask
ed Of the housekeepers is to stack all
old papers and magazines away and if
the women take hold Of this plan, there
will be at least 100 tons of old paper
collected when the boy scouts 90 out
after the paper Saturday, Oct. IS.
1t has been suggested that those who
are saving papers, might telephone the
Commercial club their address and they
will be put on the collection list
