Original Mound
DWellers United
by One Language
by United Press Leased Wire

CORVALLIS, Ore, May H.
Willamette valley mound Builders
were in close touch with the other
prehistoric peoples of America, is
the belief of DR.. John B. Horner, of
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Similarity of stone inscriptions
and other ornamentations indicate
an intimate relation between the
Calapooia mound builders, the Co,
lumbia river sun worshippers and
the ancient Mexicans and south
Americans, he says.
Indeed all these nations pos
sessed "A conn pm written language
made up of hieroglyphics and picto-
graphs" said DR.. Horner. This
language, common to the people of
north and south America, seems to
have been brought hither from be-
yond the Atlantic"
Whence the mound b uildcrs came
is Il matter of conjecture. Some
authorities believe they came from
other continents, making their way
from Siberia, others maintain that
,.they came from the south, and still
others that they are from the east,
ward, over the sunken islands of
/, the Atlantic. The Indian, as he is
now known, is development and
modification of the mound builder,
says DR.. Horner.

New Circular On
Thinning Trees

Thinning the immature fruit IS
one of the most essential orchard
operations, says Warren z. Tufts,
Professor of Pomology, in Circular
No. 25s entitled "Thinning Decid-
uous Fruits,' which has just been
issued by the University of Cali
fornia Agricultural Experiment sta
ton. The deciduous fruits of Cali
fornia are famed for their excel
lencc. To maintain this reputation
in view of the increasing tonnage,
it is necessary to give careful at
tention to the factors and combine
to make perfect product, such as
size. color, texture and flavor. Fruit
cannot size properly if it is crowd
ed on the tree. neither will the color,
texture aind flavor be o fthe best.
Circular No. 25S aims to present
certain general considerations as
we'll rs practical suggestions for
carving out the work of thinning
dcciduous traits. Specific recon-
mcndations were made for the thin
ming of apples, apricots, peaches and
plums and the subject is discussed
also in relation to other fruits not
usually thinncd, such as almonds,
cherries and pears.
Thinning is necessary to prevent
the breaking of the trees under an
undue load of fruit. Furthermore,
certain diseases and insects, srch aS
the codling moth and brown rot
flourish where fruit is closely
crowded on the branch, In order to
control these troubles it is necessa-
rv to break up the clusters.

be secured by addressing the Di
rector of the Agricultural Station
