The habit of taking a vacation, commonly in the summer, is often spoken of as practically a universal one. Yet millions of people never enjoy this respite from work. Some get too much vacation. Workers in industrial plants complain that factories usually run somewhat irregularly anyway, and they have to take their rest at times when the shops shut down. Many business men feel that they simply can't drop their work even for a few days, and that no one could perform their duties if they went away. But their business is poorly organized if everything stops in case of their absence. Millions of farmers also never take a regular vacation. They can not commonly get away in the crop season, and in the winter they may feel no special desire to go, and may have no one whom they can leave in charge of their work. Many busy mothers work every day in the year and never take a rest. When the industrial millenium comes, every one will have a chance to lay off for a brief period and be free to seek rest and change. In that golden age, factories will be arranged to run so regularly that the workers will be able to quit, without having to worry for fear they may be idle longer than they want to. Business men and farmers who stick to their work every week in the year, do not realize the losses that they suffer. They get into a kind of mental rut and often suffer from physical weariness. A man can do more work in 50 weeks than he can in 52. This is equally true of the tired housewife. The mind and body recover elasticity as the result of a wholesome outing, and people come back with a fresher point of view. They can see further into their business problems and they approach the same with more hope and enthusiasm. Vacations pay if reasonably used, and everybody ought to have them. Alfred J. Westendorf, formerly of this state, now with the Babson Institute, Wellesley Hills, Mass., where young men are trained for high executive positions, has earned an enviable rep utation, through a hobby of his, as a developer of permanent "root" growth in boys and young men. He is one of those men who has time to think of and with others. Some of the magazines have referred to him as a national friend, others call him an other Doctor Conwell or Judge Lindsay. He possesses a very in quisitive mind when it comes to the welfare of young people. He is always wondering about what is being done and what might be done. During the past two years at his own expense and in his oiiiot way he has been carrying on a survey with reference to WgK school activities throughout the country. He wanted to know what they were thinking about and what they were doing. He found that practical school men everywhere were clamoring and craving for definite and concrete examples of school activi ties. That better ideas were in demand everywhere. To serve these people is the thing that urged him on in these investigations. M'r. Westendorf found that lack of interest on the part of the pupil in many cases was due to lack of concentrated effort on the part of the school. That it was due to not having the work hung on a definite hook. He found that many schools by simply giving their present methods a new twist might become 100 per cent more productive. Ho found loads of schools carrying on splendid thrift campaigns, but in Olathe, Kansas, for instance, the pupils are not simply urged to save but are trained from the 5th grade up to prepare to meet their own graduation expenses. It is not wily a fine training, but unconsciously it tends to develop a de sire to stay to the finish. It tends to eliminate the dropping out habit. It gives thrift an entirely new color. Oregon's capital punishment law was brought into full swing this morning at eight o'clock when Rathie and Kirby paid the penalty for killing Sheriff Til Taylor, of Fendleton. It takes quite awhile sometimes to mete out justice to a murderer after over riding a great array of technicalities but once the crime is just ly fastened upon the condemned man all efforts to frustrate the true intent of the law seems to count for naught. Today's hap pening is a good lesson to those persons who consider too lightly the taking of another's life. o : The Oregon non-partisan league wants a state controlled bank. They must be looking for easy money, but this old state is far from taking on any new wrinkles in a banking way. The fait is, the banks of the country are now overburdened w ith state and national supervision. o The state highway commission, in company with other state officials, passed through Koselmrg this morning on their way south by automobile. It must be n great satisfaction to these gentlemen to travel over the wonderful roads made possible by their careful suin-rvision. Both the condemned men professed innocenso before they Mvung into eternity. This is a natural consequence. Their minds have been trained to this point ever since their conviction. o It is just about time for the weather man to change his forecast.

(Prepared by the Unlft States Department of Acrlculture.) Native nut tree, such as the black wulnut and members of the hickory group Including the pecan, have a po tential value aot generally realized. Aside from the well-known value of the timber of the walnut In the mak ing of furniture, gun-stocks, and air plane propellers, and of the white hicknrit-s in the manufacture of auto mobile wheels, tool handles, and many other articles, and even of peenn wood In Its variety of uses, partlculurly for harness homes, these trees, when rightly selected and placed, form most attractive ornnmentHls. But, In addi tion to these uses, which alone are of enough Importance to justify the care ful preservation of existing trees and the planting of others, they have an economic value In the nuts produced. These native nuts, even though un cultivated and unimproved, and, per haps, Inferior In shell thickness and cracking quality, are preferred by many to any of the cultivated kinds from Europe and Asia. Nut Crop Adds to Income. On many American farms by-products or small crops make important additions to the income, and In many localities nut trees planted about the farm buildings, along the highways, or In other unoccupied spaces, or old trees that hnve been left In the clear ing away of the original forest, are depended upon to add noticeably to tlm bnnk nccounjt. Forward-looking farmers wnnt to mnke their trees pro duce the best nuts and In the greatest possible quantity. . First of nil, every tree Intended to bear nuts In quantity needs ample space, GO feet being none too great an Interval between trees of equal rate of growth, and larger trees, unless on the sliady side, should be 100 feet apart. A fertile soli that Is reason ably moist Is best for nut trees, well drained clay loam being the most de sirable. Variety Is next In Importance to soil and location. Experienced observers know that nut trees do not come true to feed, and that the only way to reproduce a variety or an ldentleul tyue is by grafting or budding, as Is done with apples, peaches, pears, and other fruits. Kurseymen In the north ern part of the country are now propa gating several vurletles of black wal nuts, pecans, hickories, and butternuts by these methods, but due to tho fact that active Interest began only a de cade ago, none of these varieties has receive no further attention; (3) cuts should be made In lute winter while the trees are still dormant, or, at the latest, just before the leaves appear; I (-) cuts should always be made ( slightly above a bud, which will as sure renewal In case the graft should full. (.rafting may be done by the com mon cleft method or the slip-bark method. The former Is usually em- ployed when the tree Is still dormant and the latter at any time during the i growing period, but the scions used , must always be dormant, and as i scions In that condition are seldom available after the first of April 1 neither method Is of much Interest 1 Just now. It is now too late to top work ti?es this season, but those thnt . have been cut back and small trees that may be budded without cutting i back may be left until late summer or ! autumn, so that scions (then called bud sticks) of the better varieties may ; be obtained and buds from them ln- I' sorted In. the bark of the new shoots. Specially devised tools for remov ing the buds from the bud sticks and ' for removing pieces of bark of Identi cal size from the stock are on the market. Several are Illustrated In Fanners' Bulletin 700, Pecan Culture, which contains much Information of Interest to nut propagators, and which may he obtained hy writing to the I'Cpnrtment of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. a Budding by the "patch ' bud" method may be done at any time ; when the bark of the stock . slips j readily. On trees of rapid growth the ' hark will slip at almost any rime In the summer. On young trees not cut back budding mny be done In the first half of the growing season, whereas new shoots grown from below cut-off : tops should be of sufficient size for 1 budding during the latter half of the season. Dry spells frequently cause the bark to tighten, but rains will loosen It loter. The season for bud ding sometimes extends until the trees begin to go dormant. During the lat ter half of the season buds may be selected from those formed at the base of the present season's growth. Most of them' will remain dormant until the following spring.

The determination of groups and as sociations of live-stock owners to put nerds of entire communities on a bet- j ter paying basis Is shown by records of the United States Department of Agriculture In connection with Its bet-ler-slres activities. Participation in the federal-state campaign for"I!etter Sires Ketter Stock" Involves the sign-1 Ing of a blank In which a farmer lists his breeding stock and agrees to use purebred sires for all classes of fnrm I animals kept The blanks are dls- j irinuiea in most cases by county agents and are virtually death war rants for grade and scrub sires. In one day recently the department received 1S2 such blanks signed hy farmers In Hocklnghnm county, Vir ginia, and Indorsed by Charles YV. Wampler, county agent. Other large numbers received in one day from In dividual communities were 89 from Oreen county. Ohio, and 87 from Guernsey county, Ohio. Purebred sires of Inferior qnallty are often disposed of along with scrubs and grades In accordance with the requirement that the purebreds listed must be of sufficient merit to be worthy of heading herds and flocks.
