County Agents Prompt Work Pre-
vents Motor. oil Famine

Alertness on the part of the county
agent in Umatilla County, Greg. this
year prevented q motor-oil famine,
which threatened many thousands OF
dollars in loss of crops.
Late in the spring 1t was found that
due to an embargo there was little
motor fuel OH hand for tractors ana
trucks and that blowing could not be
completed. Farmers used distilIate,
lower grade of gasoline, for tractors
and for operating the combined head
ers and thrashers with which the grain
crops are harvested. Distillate was
found to be entirely out of the market.
The county agent appealed to several
California oil-refining companies, and.
with the aid of the California State
Marketing Bureau. succeeded in haV-
ing about % carloads of distillate ship
ped into the region.
The orders of farmers were pooled
and banks were instructed to honor
demands on account of those in the
pool. The first shipment of IL carloads.
or 1o0,66l gallons, was distributed
among Ill farmers in May and saved
them 5000. During June two more
cars and in July eight more cars
were distributed, making a total
of 2S5,S51 gallons Of fuel. 1t is estimat-
ed that the entire savings totaled at
least $1,000. During the month of June
similar service was given farmers by
county agents in Morrow, Sherman.
and Wasco Counties. In these three
counties a total Of $4,000 gallons OF
distillate were secured and distributed
at a great saving.

Unburnab!e Gas Tested

unburnable gas for use in balloons
and diriSibles is the next goal in the
navigation of the air, and for that rea-
son the making of helum is attracting
unusual interest Owing to the still
high cost of this inert gas experiments
are under way to determine how much
of it may be employed in combination
with the int1ammable, although far
cheaper vapors. The burning qualities
Of jets Of helium and hydrogen are
discussed in report of these researches
made by p. G.. Ledig of the United
States Bureau of Standards in a bulle-
tin of the American Chemical So
ciety. So
From the beginning of ballooning hy--
drogen has been used to buoy up the
silken bag, despite the fact that it so
easily catches fire. During the Euro
pean war extensive trials were made
by firing incendiary bullets into bags
filled with helium and it was shown
that it had no effect. Large quantities
of helium made in northern Texas
arrived in New York shortly before
the armistice was signed, and might
easily have been employed in filling
the giant dirigibles which the English
had prepared for the aerial invasion of
Germany, had the war continued.
Mr.. Ledig. in working with his mix
lures of hydrogen and helium, has en-
deayored to perfect a mixture which
can safely be used in balloons and
airships both for the needs of war
and the traffic of peace The investiga-
tor has concluded that under the most
favorable conditions a jet of helium
containing more than IA per cent of
hydrogen can be ignited in the air.
Eighteen to 20 per cent of hydrogen
may be incorporated with helium, he
finds. without producing a mixture
which will burn with a persistent
flame when issuing from an orifice
under the conditions which prevail in
bailooni2g.
More than 20 per cent of hyCreren
in a hydrogen-helium mixture cannot
be employed in balloon without sac
rificing safety from fire. With the
adoption of definite formula it is
beloved that the manufacture of he
lium compounds will be stimulated
and then eventually loss of life from
the burning of aerial craft will NJ
longer be possible.-New York Times.

Egyptian Women Intsrestsd.

Viscount Miner. in his report as high

changes which have taken place in

none is more striking than the awak-
ening interest Of women in affairs
outside of the home.
The commissioner added that a few
years ago it was rare to find a mother
showing a direct personal interest IN
the welfare Of her daughter at school.
All this was left to the father, who
often had to overcome the mothers
opposition to the education of her
daughter
During the last few years these con-
ditions have changed in the larger
towns where mothers now visit the
schools and discuss their daughters

This change is attributed by the high
commissioner largely to education. and
he predicts that its influence will be

Growers Combine to Treat Seed
Wheat Against Smut

The first large-scale attempt at COM
munity treatment of seed wheat with
the combined copper sulphate and milk
OF lime method has just been complet-
ed in Madison County, ILL.,, where APP
proximately 5000 bushels were treat
ed at central treating plant under
the supervision of representatives of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
In the spring of 1919 leaf smut or
flag smut was discovered in wheat
fields in Madison County, Ill. This
disease had long been known as de-
structive in Australia and elsewhere
and its Introduction to Illinois was
considered source of great danger to
American wheat growers. The United
States Department of Agriculture i'm
mediately made a survey of infested
farms and a local quarantine was plac-
ed on an area of AZ square miles by the
Illinois State Department of Agricul.
ture. Since that time every effort has
been made by the National and State
agencies concerned to stamp out the
disease.
Some Of the wheat varieties grown in
Madison County are very resistant to
the smut and the farmers are coop
Grating gladly in sowing only such re-
sistant varieties. TO prevent infection
by spores in the soil it was required
that all wheat sown this fall should
be treated. A central treating plant
was established and equipped in an old
potato-shipping shed, where approx
mately 200 farmers had their seed
wheat treated. With the apparatus
provided four workmen were able to
treat approximately 1000 bushels a
day.
