THE BEGINNINGS OF
OREGON INDUSTRY

Even before the days Of the Califor-
mia gold fever, pioneers began to build
the industrial prestige of Oregon
through the establishment of crude
manufacturing plants. Among the
first were sawmills and gristmilIs but
an outstanding development was the
opening Of tanDery in Portland in
1846.
This tannery was started by David
H. Lownsdale and bore the distinction
Of being the first plant of its kind
north of Mexico and in all the terri
tory west of the Rocky Mountains.
Mr.. Lownsdale selected the site for
the tannery about one mile back in the
forest where today Multnomah Ath-
letic Field is situated. After two
years he sold his industry to two new
comers who in turn sold the plant to
A. N. King, who manufactured leather
at the site for 20 years.
The establishment of this mill was
one of the factors in the development
of the state. Prior to the time it was
started residents Of the Oregon country
tanned their own deer and COW hides.
During the first few years Of its oper-
alton the owners accepted hides, wheat
and other products of the territory in
payment for the tannery work.

The Home Of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-.
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them a trial. They only

POTASH IN Wool RECOVERED
Small Washer Has Been Designed and

has been designed and is being tried
out by the bureau of chemistry of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t Is said that the average
fleece contains about 4 per ct mt of pO-
fash by weight, but in the ordinary
method of washing wool it comes out
in such dilute solution that 1t does not
pay to recover the salt.
X About 6OO,OOOOOO pounds of wool
are secured in the United States each
year, and II only 3 per cent of potash
Is recovered 1t would amount to 49,
100000 pounds Of actual potash that
would be available for use in fertiliz-
ers., Some nitrogen Is also recovered
from wool along with the potash.

Farmer Enabled to Determine Number
Of Days Necessary to Produce

Care Of Animals.

prepared by tho United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Keeping record Of farm labor does
not require much time. yet it Is often
the means of saving labor costs. The
United States Department Of Agri-
culture has found such records OF
great value in the cases of many farm
efs whose experience has come to It's
notice. The labor records should
show just how much man labor anc
team work is required on each crop
should show what proportion of the
labor Is devoted to work that di-
rectly produces income. and the
amount that Is consumed by odd jobs
or indirectly productive tasks.
This will enable the farmer to de-
termine the number of days of man
labor and horse labor necessary to
produce an acre Of any crop, or for
the care of any class of animals for
a year. Thus he may be able to re-
arrange his system of management so
that he can get along with less labor
and, at the same time. maintain pro-
ductiOn.
A years labor records show, also,
just how much man power and horse
power Is necessary to run the entire
farm at different seasons. and point
out, accurately just what are the re-
quirements of the rush seasons. With
such records before him, the farmer
Knows in advance approximately. what
his labor requirements will be when
the peak load comes. Thus he is able
to increase or. decrease the different
farm enterprises and dit them together

prepared by the United States Depart ment
Of AgricuIture.)
The United States Department of
Agriculture and the state colleges Of
agriculture are frequently asked for
the best method of organizing for gar
den work. Among the most success
full city. town and village Organiza-
tlOns, those that are organized on a
cooperative basis. including all
branches OF the local government, the
citizens associations, the merchants
and other business mems associations,
also schools and churches, have proven
centralize the direction of the work
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture advises that special gar
den committee or governing board be
appointed Under the direction of
this committee, or. board, all matters
pertaining to securing the use Of land,
the purchase of seeds, fertilizers,
plants and other materials are han
died and the general supervision Of
the garden work maintained.
Formation Of Club.
Where the work has not already
been started, the formation of the Or
ganization should be perfected before
the garden season begins, and all ar
rangements for the use of land and
the purchase of materials cOnsum-
mated before they will be wanted.
Someone, usually a public-spirited cit
izen, who can spare time for the work,
should be appointed as director or
chairman of the board A membership
fee of so cents to 81 Is frequently paid
by those who plant gardens and who
receive benefit from the organization.
In some cases special trained gar
den leader has been hired to give in
formation and help to those who need
1t. Very often this, supervisor has
been employed for a few months only,
but this type of supervision pays, pro-
stands his business. In most cases
prizes have been offered by the mer-
chants and business interests, first,
for the best individual gardens, both
in back yards and on vacant land,
and, second. for the various products
Of the gardens. Usually an exhibit
is held at some convenient time during
the latter part of the garden season,
and contest between the gardeners
Is staged. These exhibits and con-
tests have been Of wonderful value in
promoting spirit of rivalry to pro-
duce the best. AS rule, however,
the gardeners have considered the gar
den products as they came upon their
home tables the greatest reward for
their efforts.

Where group Of gardens is located
sary to provide special means for
financing the clearing. pIowing and fit-
ting the soil and later for policing the
gardens to prevent losses, either from
stray live stock or from theft. The
fees collected from each gardener to
cover these costs have varied in DIFF
ferent instances from 81 to IS per gar
den, but rarely more than So. ANY
funds that are left in the treasury at
the end of the season can be used for
promoting the garden movement the
following year or returned to the gar
deners.
Success in organizing city, town or
village garden work depends upon lead
ership. and the harmonious working
together of all concerned One of the
most successful garden clubs of which
there is record is governed by board
of nine directors who are elected an
nually by ballot. The directors elect
who constitute the officers of the club.
This club has been in existence for
several years and has grown stronger
In its organization each year.
The formation of clubs consisting of
those who plant gardens in their back
yards is little more difficult and
must include provision for rendering
distinct service to it's members. This
service may consist of the purchase
of manure or fertilizers, plowing the
back yards, and supplying early
plants or seeds. The gardeners must
be made to feel that they are getting
something in return for their partici-
patton in the club and the payment Of
dues, otherwise little interest will be
taken in the organization.
Cooperative Spraying.
In few instances the spraying Of
crops to control insects and diseases
has been handled in a cooperative
way, using power sprayers which go
walls as may be necessary for good re-
suits. These power sprayers are
simply driven into the alleys, and
lines of hose discharging the spray
mixture carried into the gardens. In
this way effective spraying can be
secured ut less cost than If the gar
deners provided spray equipment to
do the work themselves. There are
numerous other ways in which back
yard gardeners can secure benefits
from organized efforts. The greatest
opening, however, for active Organiza-
tiOn in the home garden line is among
those who plan gardens on a cOmmu-
nifty basis.

charged to them, would be entirely
lost II the cows were sold and moth
ing supplied to fill in the time. Thus
an added burden for the maintenance
Of labor would have to be borne by
the other enterprises.
The fact that the hogs or the corn
crop bring the most net money during
the season is no reason for assuming
that all the activities Of the farm in
the future should be devoted solely to
hogs or corn. 1t may be that the keep
Ing of cows Is partly responsible for
making hogs so profitable, or that the
growing of wheat, clover, or other
crops in rotation with corn makes the
latter crop much more profitable than
II would have been II grown alone.
Similar conditions will be net with
on all farms and. therefore. no sudden
changes should be made on the basis
Of what single years accounts may
Indicate. All angles of the enterprise
should be taken into consideration.

come, by adaptation. one of. the most
desirable agencies for the peace-time
task Of road construction, according
to reports received from many states
by the bureau of public roads Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The use OF this powerful ex-
plosive is becoming general through
out the Union wherever highways are
under construction. Out of the sur
plus war materials turned over by the
War Department to the Department Of
Agriculture and distributed, by the
bureau Of public roads among the
various states. approximately 10000
600 pounds of T. N. T. has found its
way to the road builders supply
houses. This Is more than four times
as much as the total of powder of all
grades distributed by the department
among the states.
The quantity of T. N. T. distributed
up to September Is. among the states,
was 19.6l3.295 pounds In addition
there has been distributed 1,79S,9SS
pounds Of blasting powder and 2,781,-

AKING AVIATION SAFER.

Washington, d. c.. May 1.-THE
day will come when flying will be made
so safe that it will be a general method
of transportation. This is the. unAni-
nous opinion of those best acquainted
with the progress Of flying and with
the problems to be met. Always there
will be accidents-but there are ac-
cidents on railroads and on the high
ways travelled by automobiles. Never
theless, those mean Of transportation
are generally accounted safe.
The problem of moving from this
place to that, no matter how it is
done, always will contain elements of
danger. So long as there are obstacles,
they must be ~surmounted, avoided. or
passed directly through. On the high
road, obstacles cannot be passed
through. On the high seas, wave and
bad weather cannot be avoided easily,
but must be combatted. Once air travel
i. made as safe, comparatively. as land
and sea travel, flying ships will pos
aess the quality of being able to dive
great speed, avoid others.
Our leading military aviators are of
the opinion that several great factors
must be taken into consideration to
make flight SO safe that it will be
universally employed. First and fore
most they usually name the pilot. 1t is
accepted that a first class birdman
must be an exceptinal man physically.

The reduction in the minimum wage
for women and children in California
from SIG to $15 a week, made by the
state industrial welfare commission,
affects employees in general manufac-
turing, fruit and fish canning and pack

will be paying her women workers
better than any other state in the
Union.
Evidence presented at a recent hear

Establishments in Kansas, presented by

Consider the safety pin.
On q certain Sunday afternoon the
inventor was strolling among the
Pyramids with a Bronze Age belle. She
was wearing the spring toilette fash
ionable along the Nile that season.
Suddenly a part Of her costume be-
came d~isarranged. Anxious to gain the
maiden's favor and at the same time
display his own ingenuity the hero
seized a bit of bronze, gave it a few
deft twists with his fingers and proud
ly fastened the recreant parts of his
lady's dress together with the original
safety pin. which ever since has gone
out of style.
Men Wore Pins First
The straight pin, too. may be traced
directly to masculine ingenuity. 1t is
certainly true that the pins of bone
occurred in the Stone Age and those of
metal in the Bronze Age. The latter
were common in Egypt in mems attire
long before history begins and relics
of them have been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings, in the early English
ruins and the Roman remains in Lon
don. Tacitus tells how men among the
very earliest Britons dried thorns for
pins and used them to fasten cloaks
of skins over their shoulders.
Men themselves were very fond of
pins in the earliest times and devised
elaborate ones. An early Saxon pin
was of brass, with a gold head. set
with red and blue stones and erna-
mented with filigree work. John
Stratford. archbishop of Canterbury,
who died in 134S and whose effigy is
preserved in Canterbury cathedral. had
a highly decorative pin fastening his
pail.
And down through the ages man
himself has been putting women next
to all sorts of ways of using pins. From
very ancient days man made woman
gifts of pins and kept her constantly
supplied with them. In fact, the car
Hest records show that pins, thanks to
man, were considered emblematical of
