World gives this account of the affair,
with the formula for making the bath:
To one bath tub half filled with
aqua pura at ITO degrees Fahrenheit
add one and one-half gallons OF
vinegar. Scatter in the water two
pounds OF bicarbonate of soda, TO
make it efervesce Then tiptoe into
the bubbles and loll around while.
That is the recipe for his famous
vinegar batG, as conhded by Nat c.
Goodwin to Supreme Court Justice
Greenhaum and the jury which is
hearing his $4,000 breach of contract
action against the Mirror Film COM
Rany.
Nat was hired to pantomime before
the camera at $3.50 week. He was
discharged, he says, because the COM
pany went broke. The Mirror insists
he was fired because of tardiness at
the studio at Glendale and because
he sometimes appeared with "hang-
overs" The vinegar baths, the COM
pany contends, were taken to drive
from his system an embarrassing
abundance OF Bacchanalian germs.
1t was a successful matinee for Nat.
The court room thronged with
hams" stars, near-stars and just
plain theater patrons. Glancing around
the room as he took the chair, Nat
grinned at the press table and whis-
pered: Best house I've played to
in New York in while And he
scanned the room again as though
counting the house" at 81 per.
In denying that the vinegar baths
were a means of enabling him TO
stride a straight line between two
points, Goodwin said: Some five

SAMSON TRACTOR
MAKES APPEAL

Despite the unpleasantness of the
weather, many were present last Fri
day afternoon on the Peters ranch to
see the Snow-Forden Motor Co. give
its successful Samson tractor demon
stration. While the ground was ex-
tremely wet and in bod shape for a
demonstration, the Samson did more
than was expected of it. The sieve
grip, patented feature of the wheels
of the machine, prevented packing of
the earth. The big powerful motor
pulled the plows up the steepest
grades.
The road demonstration was just ~
interesting as that in the field. Com
missioner Hannum was unable to stall
the tractor. Its work was entirety
satisfactory. Messrs. Snow & Forden

LAND PLASTER
SHOULD BE APPLIED
by Gordon G. BROWN

The use of land plaster is becoming
an established practice in Hud River
valley. In most cases its use upon
either clover or alfalfa has proved ben
efcial. During the last two years the
local experiment station has been test
ing this fertilizer and marked increases
have been secured over the unfertilizeri
check. The grower is urged to keep
clearly in mind that this fertilizer is
not used to correct acidity of the soil,
however. and should therefore not con-
fuse the same with limestone. The
former is "A form of limestone that has
been treated with sulphuric acid and
therefore in applying same to the soil
there is no possibility of its correcting
acidity as is true of limestone.
There are few soils in the valley
where the use of limestone is required.
This is especially so in our orchards.
The apple is more or less Indifferent to
slight amounts of soil acidity and The
use of land plaster should be mado
where necessary with the idea of stim-
ulating shade crop growth.
The use of flowers of sulfur at the
rate of 200 pounds to the acre has also
proved profitable in this valley. Since
1t is higher in price and gives no better
results than land plaster the latter is
recommended. The continued use Of
sulfur may tend to create soil acidity
Tests bearing upon this point are heine
made. In the meantime the grower is
advised to use land plaster at the rate
of 100 pounds to the acre and to spply
same Immediately. A second applica-
tion made after the first cutting hos
been tested and while slight increases
have been secured over the one sppli-
cation, the difference was not sufi-
ciently large to warrant its being ap-
piled twice. Either the Oregon land
plaster or the Utah land plaster is
recommended.
