If the farm has places that are wash
ing badly, the owners should lose no
time in starting to reclaim them by
planting trees.
In the upper Piedmont, mountain.
and Mississippi valley sections no 9TH
er tree is so well adapted for planting
in gullies as black Cor "yellow"l To-
Gust. It has a large root system, suck
ers freely from the root, grows rapid
ly. and makes one of the most lasting
woods for fence posts. Small scions
or seedlings from l ste r feet high
with roots should be set out in the
spring on gully banks and over the
gully bottoms in soil made loose by
ma@tock, pillow, or dynamite. A spac-
ing of approximately 8 by s feet apart
Is advisable, taking advantage of nat
ural1y favorable situations and avoid
ing the middle of stream channels.
The little trees can be dug up in locust
thickets, or obtained from commercial
nurseries.
Stop Gully Erosion.
For the dry, clayey soils Of the Pied
mont, the native shortleaf pine (Pinus
echinata) is well adapted for stopping
gully erosion. It Is very frequently
observed coming in naturally in such
places, and even when young exerting
a marked influence in holding the soil.
When set out in gullies its growth is
fairly rapid, and in a few years, it
forms a complete protective cover.
Young shortleaf pines are often found
in great numbers in an old field recent
~ turned out. They are much more

IS diminutive, amused Mother and me
greatly by the silent way in which
he did in first-rate way his full share
of all the work.
Tomorrow the national convention

be nominated. There is great deal OF

more the form of resentment against
what they think is my dictation as TO
details than against me personally.
They don't dare to oppose me for the
nomination and 1 suppose il is hardly
likely the attempt will be made 10
stampede the convention for any one.
How the election will turn out no man

Uric acid is now generally reeog.

the kidneys are out Of order uric acid
aceumulates within the body in super

not filter the poisons out Of the blood

ons remain in the blood and float
around until they find a place to lodge,
in form Of urate salts. The thing TO

Construction Of Modern Homo

The contract for the Valley Packing
eOmpany's plant to be erected Just
north Of the city by Steusloff and
Cross was awarded to F. J. Leonard
of Portland. No Salem contractors OF.
fered bids.
The plant when completed and equip
iped win represent an investment Of
about $l30,000 and it is estimated that
the building will be ready to be turn.
cd over to its owners about Oct. l..
The building is to be entirely of
concrete and reinforced steel. The
Steel is to be furnished by the Turs.
con steel company of Portland. The
structure is to be three stories high
in addition to a basement. The main
building will be s2la feet square. The
adjoining building is to be "a by SO
feet.
An Independent water supply system
will be installed to supply the build.
ings and stock yards. Electrical power
viii be used throughout the plant.
The equipment will include everything
that is modern in a packing house
plant as the plans and specifications
were drawn by special packing house
architects.
A separate contract will be awarded
for the freezing and refrigerating sys-
tenn. This viii include 10000 feet Of
cork board for insulation purposes.
Work on the plant win begin at
once. While the main building may be
completed by October |, the installa.
tion of the machinery and refrigerat-
ing process and electric elevators win
require several months and it will be
early in the year before the plant is in
actual operation. It is estimated that

be doubled within the course of year
