S1tune 25.-Assuming
 of the House during
 .t lining recess, will, as the
 serr1 has requested, illumine
 z; Constituents on the subsidy question, Chairman Laslser of the shipping board has written each of them directing attention to the state ments he made before the joint conn s nnittee of the two houses as fully cov- ering from ''the shipping boards point of view and acceptance the governments predicament in its ownership of ships.s and other phases of the merchant marine problem.
 The situation which confronts the government he stated in his letter, Is not "whether one feels that the United States needs a merchant ma rine." but that the shipping board is . today 'in possession of the greatest fleet the world has ever known" which it must operate until the ves- sels can be sold to private owners.
 Recommends Subsidy
 'Realizing the inefficiencies and great cost of government operation" he said having demonstrated the
  private American owners under ex- isting conditions and being well aware of the great differentials faced by American steamship op- orators against the shipping men of other nations, the shipping board, bipartisan organization, has unani- mously and without political differ ence among its members recom-# .mended policy of aids to shipping ssthat has become the basis of the ad- ministration's proposals to Con- .gress."
 .'The fleet" Mr. Lasker declared ss;is bringing nothing into the treas ury and Is costing large sums am nually."
 If some means is provided by which the ships may be sold he pointed out, the government may liqudate part of their wartime cost and described the pending bill as designed to acc complish that end and to stimulate Americans to take their proper places in the ocean carrying competition of the world.'
 Insure shipbuiIding
 'The bill" he adds. "also would in sure the building of types of ships necessary not only to America's 5 prosperity but to her preservation in time of need, and it will keep alive the art of shipbuilding in America. now threatened with extinetion.'
 The government. like the mer- chant who finds himself overstocked with goods, Chairman Lasker argued in his letter, should turn the busi- ness over to those who might op crate it more successfully and at the same time in liquidation add to the value of it's assets" 2 The farmer was declared by MT. Lasker to be "vitally interested in the merchant marine in many ways" Recent interest of farmers in the improvement and building of ade- quate inland waterways, MT. Lasker added. demonstrated to him ''the farmers recognition of the impor tance of adequate waterway carriage facilities" and should these water ways be perfected. he said. the "best insurance of their continued use would be merchant marine under 4 the American iflag.H

Tree nnctnrinE

When one of the family gets sick you usually get doctor qaick. and you don't expect one dose of medi- cine to cure the patient. The doctor will tell you that It takes time, care ful nursing and a repetition of reme- dial agents to bring about recovery But when your plants or trees be- come sick and afflicted with some serious disease, you expect single treatment, often grudgingly given. to bring about complete recovery. These poor dumb creatures cannot tell you their troubles. but this Is no excuse for not exercising common sense Tn their treatment. Every day we tell people what to do to conserve their plants, and some will make single puny effort and complain bit ter1y if recovery is not manifested promptly. Three weeks ago gen. tleman sprayed a valuable tree whose foliage had become shot full -oi hcles through insect attack One treatment happened to be a success but because the holes in the foliage did not fill up and grow back to- gether, he was greatly disappointed. Yes, 1t takes time for trees and plants to recover.

symptoms Important

A good fisherman is q natural born philosopher. By observing. certain symptoms, he can tell where to cast his line for results. and he can tell from other symptoms when there is nothing doing. Without symptoms and the knowledge of trouble. we are daily called upon to diagnose and remedies for plant diseases and in- sects.
 It is much like asking a physician to treat serious case of sickness by the mail order plan or to prescribe without knowing anything about symptoms. Trees and plants. like an- imals and humans, exhibit certain symptoms when sick, and it is the duty of the owner to look for and search out any abnormal manifesta- tions possible to be made known. When trouble can be located, there is always chance for some measure of relief The Age Herald conducts this feature for the benefit of it's readers and will always try to make any information specific and practi- cal, but we must have as much in- formation as possible, on which to base definite conclusions.

Plant Breeding
 4 lot of folks don't believe that all the human race descended from Noahs three sons. Shem, Ham and Japhet. Nobody knows, but when you come to study what has been ac- complished in plant breeding, any thing seems possible,
 The rankest and most despisable of noxious weeds, through selection and hybridization. have been made to blossom forth into divine beauty.
 The deadly Solanum group of plants have been made to furnish us with the tomato and Irish potato. The wild poisonous cabbage plant of Terra Del Fugo has been made to produce our buxom cabbage of com merce, Who is not acquainted with the common old field mullein, a noXious weed, which has been trans formed by patient plant breeders Into a glorious Towering plant? While few of us are willing to accept the Darwin theory as a whole. we must admit from an experience of short life time that few things are impos- sible with Gods creatures.

DRILL NEW WELL
AT INDEPENDENCE

Independence, Or, June 2-The
Mountain States Power company
is preparing to drill new well on
It's property near the river bank
that will add materially to the
city's water supply. The city is
amply supplied at present from
two eight-inch wells across the
trestle on the Southern Pacific
spur to the gravel beds. However,
he river has been cutting the
bank rapidly at a point not far
above and the wells may have to
be abandoned In time.
The new well is located only a
few feet from the company's plant
on south Main street. It will be
a twelye-inch well and will have
a capacity Of a little more than a
thousand gallons a minute. Mr.
Scott of Portland is doing the
drilling. He has had his machin-
cry on the ground for several days
and everything is in readiness fo1
starting the work.
The river bed furnishes an in
exhaustible supply Of pure water
It shows up well in the test, al
though little harder than water
from mountain streams.
