ASHES AND LIME
IMPROVE GARDENS

Corvallis, Ore, Feb. 2S.-Ashes
are worth a careful trial as fertil-
izer this year in the preparation of
garden land, In view OF the high price
of other fertilizers.
Hardwood ashes are the best, and
when kept dry till applied to the soil
they add lime, potash and phosphoric
acid. The lime has a beneficial ef-
feet on the soil and on many vegeta-
bles. 1t improves the physical con-
dltion of heavy soils by separating
the fine particles and making the soil
more porous. 1t also serves to repel
insect pests. The potash is in a fine
ly divided form, readily available as
plant food.
From 80 to so pounds per square
rod are recommended by Prof. A. G.
Bouquet of o. A. G. They are broad
casted and thoroughly incorporated
with the soil as 1t is being worked up
in the spring. Too heavy an applica-
tion tends to make the soil alkaline,
a condition unfavorable to vegetable
growth. Ashes are also likely to in
crease scabiness Of potatoes and
should not be used on patato lands.
Soft wood ashes, leached hardwood
ashes, coal ashes and incinerator
ashes usually contain much less Of
the valuable soil and plant element.

Adopt Program Of
Work for Year

The home economies committee of
the Jackson County Agricultural
Council, which was organized last
week in the office of Miss McCor-
mick, emergency home demonstra-
ton agent, voted to adopt the follow
ing program Of work for the year;
l. Organization. In order that eff
fectiye work be carried on through
out the year, every community in the
county will be organized for service
Local organizations will be used in
every possible case, and in as many
communities as possible the home
economics study work will be intro
duced.
II. Conservation. CA. Conserva-
tion of Food The production of
standard vegetable products in home
gardens to be advocated A greater
production of poultry, bees and rab-
bits to be stimulated and encouraged
throughout the county. AS there
were homes in Jackson county last
year that made little attempt to pre-
serve fruits and vegetables for home
use, greater campaign is to be made |
this year for preservation by means
of drying and canning fruits and veg
etables and by water-glassing eggs.
Greater stress is to be placed on the
war substitutes for the saving of
those foods needed by the soldiers
and allies. A study of food values
and balanced menus will be taken up
in the study classes. (B. Conserva-
tion of Clothing) Attention will be
called to the necessity of conserving
textiles. Large quantities of cotton
are being used in the manufacture
Of explosives. Linen is needed in
aeroplane construction, and we know
of the scarcity of wool and of leath-
er. Proper selection, repairing and
renovating of clothing will be the
main features of this project. &C.
Conservation of Healthy Better
sanitary conditions in and around
homes, fly campaigns, and
hot lunch work in rural schools are
subjects to be given attention.
III. Household Management. It
IS important at this time that steps
be taken to simplify the work in the
home as women are having many de- Z,
nands made on their time. Labor
Iaving devices, account-keeping and
he organization of work in the home
ire problems that will be taken up
Ind discussed in order to make for
more efficient home work.
w. Home Demonstration Tour.
later in the year it is being planned
o have a home demonstration tour
made of Jackson county. Women
rom all communities will participate
n this tour, stopping at certain q
ZONES in order to study conveniences 4
nd arrangements. A tour of this v
ind will not only be of great pleas l
re and interest, but may result in n
he improvement of many homes. II
1t is not desired or hoped for that
ny one community may work out
his entire program, but each COM
lunity may select those features 81
'hich seem most necessary for that a
ommunity. This program of work l
J to be correlated in every possible II
'ay with the program of the Indus d.
'ial Club work and the agricultural al
of the county. 1t is be- 81
eyed that an effective working out p
this program cannot but assist in d.
lie enrichment and the betterment W
home life in Jackson county.
