DON'T BURN WHAT
CAN BE TURNED UNDER

The College OF Agriculture urges
farmers not to burn any vegetable
matter that can be pIowed under. In
their effort to kill the boil weevil in
It's winter quarters, farmers must not
make the mistake of burning off of the
field, stalks, vines, grass, ETC.. before
blowing. OF all needs of Georgia
soils, humus is the greatest Vege-
table matter turned under will pro
vide for it. If it is turned under four
inches or more as all land should be
turned, then the weevil in the stalks
or other hiding places will be buried
and killed.
Burn off and clean up only those
places where the pillow can not reach.
Bury the vegetation as deeply as pos
sible with a drag chain attached to
the pillow.

The moth Of the peach tree borer

and early September. These eggs hatch
and develop into little grubs that work

mate the power OF steam engine is
to multiply together the area Of the

Militia Call To
Be on July 25th

The formal order for the mobiliza-
tion of the Coast Artillery on July
25th has been sent out by Adjutant
General White. The Medford papers
printed the statement that Captain
Vance of the 7th company had re-
ceived orders to that effect Saturday
and. 1t is understood that Captain Ma
lone received like orders on Sunday
morning. The change in the date
from July 10, which was formerly set
as the mobilization time, did not come
totally unexpected, as the equipment
for the local company has not all ar
rived as yet.
All members of the local company
will be informed to be in the city by
the 25th. About twothirds of the
company is now attending semi-week-
ly drills, the remainder of the mem
bers being employed away from the
city,
Captain Malone, who arrived last
week. is taking hold of the work with
a determination to put the 1st COM
pany into mobilization camp in about
twice the condition of the rest of the
companies. The men are throwing
themselves into the new drill work
with whole-hearted vigor.

New Navy
Recruiting Station

A recruiting station has just been
opened in Medford, the office being
situated in the First National Bank
building. Oregon has led all the
states in the western division in navy
recruiting, and the western division
has led all the rest of the United
States, so Oregon has reason to feel
proud of her place at the top of the
list. This is based, of course, on the
ratio Of population. DR.. e. X. Scott,
assistant surgeon in the U. S. navy
department, who paid the Tidings
call last week, established the new
recruiting station in Medford. He
said this fine showing made by Ore
gon was not due to any more patrios-
ism here than in other states. but to
combined influences that happened
to favor navy recruiting in this state.
Dr. Scott said the station in Medford
would also be used asa publicity bu-
reau for the navy department.
Any one wishing information in re-
gard to the navy should either call
at the office in the First National
Bank building or write the Navy Re-
cruiting Office at the same address.

Outlook for Prune
And Loganberry Crop

The California Prune and Apricot
Association opened their prices Mon
day with prunes quoted at 6 cents,
bulk basis, says the Salem Journal.
They promise an advance of one-
quarter cent September 1. This COM
pany has fully 70 per cent of the Cali
fornia prune crop under its control
The total crop in California this year
is estimated at 25O,OOO,OOO pounds,
as against 2OO,0O0,00O pounds last
year. The prune market of the
United States is practically cleaned
up, even to the consumer. Estimates
to the Salem Fruit Union lately from
Oregon points show a yield which
will not exceed last years crop by
much, II any. Clarke county, Wash
ington, and Douglas and Benton
counties in Oregon report short crops.
while Polk and Lime counties will
have an excess over last year. Yam
hill and Marion counties will have
practically the same as last year. Lo-
ganberries are about normal, but in
many places showing better than
ever before. Reports from some
growers give the opening of the pick
Ing season at July 10, while others
do not expect ripe berries until the
18th.

Roundup Praised by Many
Thousands of Visitors

From every side praise for the gen.
eral excellence of the 1917 Rogue
River Roundup is pouring in. Every
one of the many thousands who wit
messed the big Ashland show are
showering unstinted praise upon the
management for the efficient manner
in which the show was staged and the
comfort of the crowds assured.
Too much credit can not be given
to Secretary Monte Briggs, President
Nininger end the board of directors of
the Roundup Association, who have
put practically all of their time and
efforts for the past several weeks into
giving the Hyiu Hehe visitors the
greatest roundup ever staged in the
west outside of Pendleton. That they
succeeded is amply demonstrated by
the praise of the satisfied crowds.
Several features Of this years show
stood out above that of last year. The
jitney service to the grounds, the
manner in which the crowd was han
died, usshered and cared for, was par
excellent. 1t is no small job for a
city of this size to furnish transporta-
tion for a crowd of ten thousand and
safe parking of 1000 automobiles but

tion with the city and county authori-

resulted. No cases Of overcharges Of
passengers have been reported as
result of the car license system,
and at the same time the more than
fifty jitney drivers all seem we'll sat-
isfied with the returns from the
three days of work. No charge Of
over 15 cents was allowed for trips
to the grounds or about the city ex-
cept on special trips out of town.
Another noticeable improvement
was the manner in which the round
up events were staged without the
long waits so often common. Perfect
arrangement of corrals and runways
and cooperation between the stock
handlers did much to help along this
feature. The ballyhoo system, with
the three announcers connected by
telephone with the timers stand and
the corrals, kept the crowd informed
Of every move and added much to
the enjoyment of the events.
The class of participants was this
year far above that of last year. and
Ashland saw some of the worlds top
notch cowboys. It was a snappy
show and good one and portends a
successful continuation of the Rogue
River Roundup through the years to
come. Ashland can we'll afford to
take off its hat to the live bunch of
men who staged this years show.

Minimizing
Fire Loss

greater danger from fires is present.
In addition to other risks, the ripen-
ing fields Of grain which border the
lines of the railroads are source of
especial hazard. The precautions
taken by the railroads and the own
ers of the crops have proved valuable,
but constant and continued vigilance
is necessary to protect from fires.
General Manager ]. P. O'Brien, of
the Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation Company, who has just
returned from trip Of inspection
over the lines, has made arrange
ments for additional protection and
is hopeful that the losses for 1917
will be less than for previous years.
He says:
while we have had fire patrol
service for years, and our section
crews and trainmen are always on
the alert, we are adding to our pro-
tective measures. On all trains oper-
ating through territory where the
danger is greatest, particularly wheat
sections, watchman is stationed on
the rear car. His duty is to keep
careful lookout, and If smoke or blaze
appears the train is stopped and the
blaze extinguished.
"Our right of way is kept as clear
of inflammable material as possible.
Adjoining this, we work in co-opera-
tion with the owner of the land. 1t
is essential that safeguard for grain
fields be provided. The cutting of
swath, the plowing of furrow, and
the burning of the stubble are things
that should be looked after. Here is
where the farmer can assist. In on
der to garner his crop he has to cut
way for the harvesting machine,
anu W piOtcCI IuC icutdlHueT lie
should run a furrow. Reapers and I
horses to draw plows are not part |
of railroad equipment, and so we ex-
pect assistance from the man whose
property we are trying to maintain
free from danger.
"The menace is present every
where. The harvested crop is stored
in warehouses along the line; loaded
cars await moving; stations are con-
gested with varied assortments Of
freight, much of which is inflamma-
BILE, and yet the railroad companies
are reducing fire losses each year by
constant watchfulness Of employees.
GAS a rule, we find that those
whose property adjoins the tracks are
willing to join with us in our efforts
to prevent loss by fire. They recog-
nize that the railroad owns nothing
but the right of way and that when
they go outide Of this to prevent loss
they are trying to help the man whose
holdings are endangered. The fires
which originate along the railroad
tracks are not always caused by
sparks from locomotives, but no mat
ter what the origin, we are willing
to help extinguish the flames,
There should be better under \
standing between the farmers and the
railroads. Our interests are interde-
pendent. We can accomplish much
for our mutual welfare II we work in }
harmony. We are interested in crop {
A field of grain burned
over is lost product. The farmer
loses and the railroad loses. Neither
one of us is In business for the pur-
pose Of piling up deficit, and If we
get together there is possibility that
we can each profit to some extent"

WOULD TAKE STEEL
PRODUCTSON COST
PLUS PROFIT BASIS
Federal Trade Commission
Proposes Pla1, to Presi-
dent Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Govern-
ment supervision of steel producing
plants of the country, manufacturers
to be paid for their product during
the period Of the war on a cost plus
profit basis, is declared to be the rec
ommendation If the federal trade
commission to President Wilson in
its report on the cost of steel pro-
duction.
That the trade commission has
completed it's investigation was as
serted authoritatively: 1t also was
declared that the commission had
been unable to recommend a uniform
price to be paid by the government
Tor steel because of a great variance
OF producing conditions in different
sections and plants.
While no definite announcement
has been made and no authoritative
statement could be procured from the
commission in advance of any state
ment that may be forthcoming from
the white house. it has been learned
that the commissions report IS in the
hands of the president and that it
duF4ScS "udL SLcel industrial leaders
of the country may consider a radi-
cal course.
Similar to Coal Plan.
Details of the commissions report
are not available, but the basic prin-
ciple of the suggestion for solution Of
steel price difficulties is said to be
government supervision along the
line of the original suggestion made
to congress regarding coal. With re-
gard to coal the commission recon-
mended that products of the mines be
pooled in the hands of the govern
ment.
Pooling of tho ore mines on a cost
plus reasonable profit basis also is
under consideration in the general
plan OF steel control, it is declared.
The trade commission is reported
to have found that fixation of a uni
form price for steel and steel pro-
ducts is impracticable, but that it has
been possible tc determine costs at
various plants and steel producing
centers and also to determine a rea-
sonable profit. What percentage of
profit has been recommended has not
been disclosed.
