LET'S SWAP VOTES. "

Under this head, the Malheur Enter
prise publishes pertinent editorial in
support Of two measures to be voted on
at the special election to be held on
June Bird. Eastern Oregon arid acres
could be reclaimed to great extent.
should the Irrigation Interest Guaran-
tee measure carry and the thousands Of
tons Of hay and feed these acres will
produce would find ready market in
the counties which will be benefited
in common with the state at large.
should the Roosevelt Highway bill
carry at the polls. Eastern Oregon
has within her grasp a splendid system
Of highways and the Western Oregon
counties are only asking that they be
lifted out of their present isolation.
The Enterprise hits at the crux of the
situation when 1t says:
Eastern Oregon is mighty interest
ed in the passage Of the special inca
sure to be voted on at the coming spe-
cial election to be held on June 3rd.
known as the Irrigation Interest Guar
antee Measure. This bill will cost the
State as a whole nothing and will open
the way for immediate development of
hundreds of thousands Of acres of the
best land in the world that is now
either too swampy or too arid to pro-
duce a healthy weed.
"The Pacific coast counties are
mighty interested in the passage of
the measure known as the Roosevelt
Highway bill providing for the build
ing Of north and south highway along |
the Pacific coast. the bonds not to be |
issued unless matched by a special ap-
preparation from congress. This mea-
sure will not cost the State much and
will greatly benefit the isolated people
Of the coast counties, who now have to
wait until the fog settles in order to
travel their roads. !.
"Let Eastern Oregon boost for and
vote for the Roosevelt highway and
in return we will gracously receive the
support Of the coast sections for the
Interest Guarantee BILL"

FORCING GROWTH or PLANTS
Intelligence OF Man ls Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.

By degrees man is becoming mas
ter of the seasons. Light and elec-
tric!ty are being pressed into his serv-
Ice, and he can already force on plant
growth so rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method Is to treat seed, be-
| fore planting IT. with small doses OF
high-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made Of this method near Burn.
ham-on-C Crouch, in Essex. England.
Spring wheat Is usually sown In March
or April. On this occasion the wheat
of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up In five days.
and on September 16 was In ear. II
was reaped IL weeks from the time It
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
is is weeks.
Y Another method of forcing crops Is
to run a current of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
Of oats and beans has been nearly dou-
bled. Experiments tried last year at
Llncluden Mains farm In Dumfries,
shire, were practically successful. A
third method Is to use artificial light,
either electric or, better still, acety-
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
