HOW TO MANAGE AND
FERTILIZE ORCHARD SOILS.

Washington State College, Pullman,
Dec. 19.-"Orchard Soil Management,
and Fertilization" is the title of a
new bulletin just issued from the
press by Prof. o. NJ. Morris, head o;
he horticulture department. of the
State College of Washington, and
Roy Larsen, soils specialist of Chcar
county
The bulletin is the report of in es~

ODD BELIEFS ONCE COMMON
Until Comparatively Recent Times,
Silly Superstitions Had a Great
Hold on the People.

Superstitions in regard to the most
familiar things, as well as the most I'M
familiar still linger, even in a scien-
titic age like ours.
What man of middle age cannot re-
member as Il boy firmly believing that
if he should touch toad warts would
grow on his fingers; that if he should
drop a hair from Il horses tail into
water it would become water snake !;
that cobweb would stop the bleeding
of wound; that a stiff breast bone
in goose betokened a cold winter?
Every countryman believes some Of
these and scores besides.
These superstitions are merely sur
vivals of countless beliefs which seem
to us mostly ridiculous, but which
were once gravely accepted by every
body, even the most learned. How
far back they 20 nobody knows. But
Pliny, in his Natural History" writ
ten in the First century of the CHRIS
tian era, is full of them.
And all down the centuries, espe-
cially through the Fifteenth and Six
teenth centuries, there were. scores of
books which gathered and advanced
such wisdom" and they found a pub
lie way down into the Eighteenth cen
fury. They find their way-thcse be-
liefs-into literature, and Shake
speare's plays are dotted through with
examples of them.

LOANS TO DISABLED VETS.

Plans are based on payment of the

Government Will
Take Half Excess
Railway Earnings
[ Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Rail-
roads which earned more than six
per cent upon the value of their prop
erty used in transportation during the
period September /, 1920 to January
/, 1921, are required under an order
issued here by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to turn half of the
excess so earned over to the govern
ment.
The order as issued by the COM
mission makes effective sections of
the transportation act OF 1920 and
prescribes rules for the application
of those sections
The transportation act. in addition
to providing that until March /, 1922.
rates should be made by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission suffi-
cient to give the railroads at least
5h per cent on their properties pro-
vided for the recovery by the gov
ernment OF half of all the amount
earned by any road over six per cent.
General increases were granted in
rates in 1920 and during the last four
months OF the year. while traffic
volumes were large, railroad earnings
were reported in excess of the six
per cent clause but for all OF the
months of 1921 and so far in 1922,
the returns have not indicated that
any sum could be collected by the
government under the law.
The statute also provided that in
case excess earnings were recap
tured by the government. the money
should be paid into a special fund
for the purpose OF lending TO rail-
roads and repaying advances made
by the government to the railroads.
