MANY QUESTIONS ASKED Liocnl Men Tell ot Success In Business Soil Packing and Preventive ' Measures Were Told by C, -i W. iKruse of Oswego. .. Fruit growers, farmers and garde ners were highly- entertained at the sessions of the State Horticultural Society during the morning and af ternoon, . and there was much said that may be put into (practical use by those who heard tho discussions and listened to timely papers pres. ented.. President C. H Bailey presid ed over the sessions, and the.scher dule announced was quite generally followed Success of the broccoli Industry was the subject of a paper read by Prof. A'. G: B. Bouquet, of the O A. C. In this paper the matter of soils, :proparhtIon of the ground, time of planting seeds in the 'beds, trans-, planting and methods employed were gone Into quite exhaustively, so that growers -and those contemplating going Into the business might get a good idea of the best ways of handl-. Ing their land ahd crops In order to obtain lucrative results. Following this paper a general discussion of the question was called for by the chair. and some of the local men who have been very successful were called upon to state their wayB of handling the crop for the benefit of all present. Mr. Joe Harvey, probably one of the men here longest In. the in dustry, stated hln methods! Beginn ing in the early soring with plowing of the land, he went over the various transactions connected with the bu siness, explaining the reasons for early plowing and working the soil in preparation for the plants. It was stated :tnat-' the"" Seed was sown -in rows- about May 1, andi after plants were up, given thorough cultivation, and transplanting took place about July 1. ' He said that he not only cut off the tops of the broccoli plants before setting them out, but that the roots were also- trimmed. He recom mended dipping in black leaf, so as to give plant lice or aphis a set back.

W. Kruse, of Oswego, an extens ive grower of garden products and engaged In general farming, gave a m Interesting paper on brocolll and nciuded In his remarks the subject if soils and how to hadlle them to prevent packing. He was given rapt lttentlon by -both growers and ex lerts from the O. O. It was a iractical bilk, and his experiences .vere radically different from the general trend. Mr Krie told in detail how to iroserve moi.-.ture, and alleged that ate plowing was the better course ind brought better results In crop ields than where the ground was .vorked early. He asserted that early ilowlng and working packedl the soil '.nd kept the air from getting In, and vhen the drought period came the ilants would show his position to e correct. He believes in moderate y late iplowlng, deep subsoillng, and horough pulverizing by an old-i 'ashloned clod misher, the frequent use oB a big disc harrow, and a deep umvatlon or two with a spring tooth 1 harrow that will rake up everything! mil let In the air. He gave Illustra tions of incidents where plowing was not done until July 1, the land being treated as described, and the finest of caulinower crops being produced with out a drop of rain to help out the plants during the dry season.

BUDGET CALLS ESS TAX The connty court budget fo ,1919 expenditures and expenses of tjww county government is puoiisnoo else where In' today's issue. Tax Payers will find this a rather interesting do cument, audi the first thing that may be thought of, Is the question of taxes. . It may be said that the budget calls for a tax of twelve and thr tenth mills against a levy of twelve and four-tenths mills last year; In cluded in this (budget is an item of $15,000 for continuing the timber cruise of the county The sum of $10,000 for this purpose ' brought such excellent results that It Jp be lieved to be a matter of great econ omy ana saving to tlie general) tax payers to have private holdings of timber cruised so that they will be obliged to pay their just proportion of taxes. Farmers, stockmen . and merchants pay on property that is visible. -to the. assessor The timber barons have heretofore paid on val ues largely fixed by themselves. To remedy this inequity the cruise Is being continued: this coming season A study of the budget will give! tax payers a comprehensive knowledge of what is projposed, and the matter will be open for general discussion with the court on December 27 PROMISED GO WORK i RELEASED FROM JAIL A.

During all this time. the Belgian mothers with their babes and little ones, have wandered here and-there,, driven by the course of fortune or misfortune, and now that the war is over and they are per mitted to return to their homos, they are greeted with desolution and waste on every hand. Truly the need for immediate help from American wo men is greater than ever and that the call Is heeded Is evidenced by the end less stream of garments which are dally coming in, not only from tho city but from all parts of the county ossicles.

DIVINE RIGHT OF 1GJF REVOKED Attorney General Gregory Tells ' How Enemy Agents Have ; ; Been Caught. 6,000 ALIENS ARRESTED American Protective League ot 330, : OOO Volunteer Citizens Was a Great Factor In Carrying Out . Detective Work. . i WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Tho story of how enemy agents ' have been caught, disloyalty, suppressed, draft slackers apprehended, dangerous Germans Interned, explosions and other sabotage prevented, was ;glven ' to the public today In Attorney Gen . eral Gregory's annual, report. ' - i Referring to enforcement ot Iho espionage act, M:r. Gregory .said: "This department has proceeded upon the general principle that the constitutional right of free speech; -free assembly and petition exist m war time as In pence time, and that the right of discussion of government nl policy and the right of political agitation' are the most fundamental rights in. a democracy." .. , The aUprney general disclosed that only 6,010 enemy aliens have been arrestedi ip presidential warrants and . examined with a view to Interment and that a considerable number of these have been placed In interment camps administered by the army. The balance were paroled. Most enemies In interned campB were German men and there were comparatively, few . German , women or AniBtro-Hungarl--aris. About 480,000 Germane have been registered In the nation-wide census 260,000 men andi 220,000 women. -. :,(.: -..i y iUp to last July 1, department or justice investigatory had rounded up 23,439 draft evaders, causing their' induction Into the service.

'It Is safe to Bay that never in its history has this - country been - so -thoroughly policed as at. present. "When It becomes possible, through : the laipee or time, to disclose fully the activities Of these vartouB secret service their work will stand out as one of the substantial achievements of the war." - '-, - Hints ot an Amerlcnn espionage system were given in the statement that the secret services ''have given protection, hot only to the civilian population, but to the armed forces and some or their activities have also resulted In direct damage to the enemy forces abroad." ' Great stress was laid on the suf nclency of normal civil processes "and the needlessness of attempting to In voke the use of military tribunals In . thlB country." . The department has been hamper ed in suppressing propaganda, said tho attorney genera, "by self appoint ed committees or associations of citi zens who, Ignorant or dissatisfied with-the scope or the federal laws or jurisdiction, have sought to supple ment them by extra legal measures t Intimidation and punishment." Another hampering influence was the dissemination of hundreds of un- -founded reports relating to use of poison gas by enemy agents, ground glass in food and damage to , Red Cross supplies. Referring to difficulties with mem-' berg; of the I W. W., "pseudo Socia lists" and slmllnr bodies, the attor ney general said: ., "It haB been the policy of this de onrtm'ent that no person should be prosecuted or Interned solely -by rea- -son of hlB membership in anv such organization; that guilt Is always .per sonal anil mat under -no circumstan ces should any organization or body of man he prosecuted as such." Mr. Gregory's recommendations propose legislation to. make a federal warrant run to any -part of the United States, so that Indicted Individuals ?annot escape trial so easily; retire ment ot federal Judges at the age of seventy, ir they have served 10 years or more; legislation to make It an nffonse to Bend through the mall lot to threatening life or property; tightening up of bnnkruntcv Inws: lmt legislation making It possible to sue a corporation in any district in wnlcn it transacts business Word has been received here that Miss Olive Mntnlii, who ii enrouto to Franco for reconstruction work, ar rived In New York on Thanksgiving and Joined the other Roseburg girls, who are also scheduled for overseas service, and who are still In that city awaiting orders for embarkation.
