The report of two physicians in this city shows that during the past year prac tically all the births have been boys. ; One has handled but two girl cherubs ' in the year, and the other has officiated at but one case where the new arrival was of the feminine gender. Corvallis is raising up an army to defend this coast from the Japs. Skin-grafting was resorted to in the case of little Dean Patterson, who was burned about a month ago. A spot as large as the hand, on the left side under the arm, failed to heal readily, and in order to prevent drawing of the injury, skin was supplied a few days ago. Florence, a little sister of the boy, submitted herself to the surgeon's knife and skin was removed from one of her limbs. She was not given an anaesthetic and stood the ordeal like a little Trojan.

It is argued by them that the jail roof should be flattened and a place made for the Corvallis Marine band. They will agree to plant ivy vines and flowers about the jail to cover it, if the com missioners will put some seats near there that they may listen to the band when it begins t'o give nightly concerts.

Delegates and - Visitors to Spokane, Wash., Will Be Able to Study Best Known Means of Supplying Moisture "Artificially to Crops In Orchards, Fields and Vineyards.- Fourteen approved methods of Irri gating, adapted to practically every kind of land and the various tree, root and vine crops, will be demonstrated, on a fifteen acre tract in the Spokane valley within a stone's throw of the city limits in connection with the sev- -enteenth session of the national irriga tion congress in Sokane. Wash., on Aug. 0 to 14. The purpose is to afford the delegates to the congress and vis itors an opportunity to study the best known means of supplying moisture by artificial means to orchards, berry and sugar beet fields, vineyards and hay and grain lands. There will also be demonstrations by manufacturers of apparatus used in modern irrigation.' What is considered by experts to be the acme of scientific irrigation and at the same time the most 'economical method will be shown in the use of porous tile pipe laid under the ground. The principle is the antithesis of drain age in that the pores and joints of the pipes give out sufficient water to sup ply the plant life above them. This plan is declared to be practicable in supplying moisture for fruit trees, veg etables, berries and almost every kind of product, the advantage being that the water carried by the pipes is dis charged directly below the roots of the plants instead of on the soil's surface. In comparison with the foregoing plan there will be shown the primitive method practiced by irrigators before it was learned how to distribute wa ter economically and to the best ad vantage. No grading or leveling was done on this tract in fact, in contour it is as nature left it. Water is taken to the highest point on the land to dis tribute itself over the ground. The idea in this is to show waste of water and soil by washing and erosion. Piping Water to Trees. The individual system,- also to be demonstrated, calls for piping water to every tree. To make it effective the water must have a head. The pipe, which may be small, is run to within three feet of a tree to discharge water into a circular ditch or basin built around the tree. This method is de sirable in ' districts where a small amount of water is desired to do a large amount of irrigating. There is no loss frbm -evaporation or seepage, and only the ground in which the tree grows receives the water. The cost of Installing this system is much larger than for the open ditch or flume sys tem, but the difference is soon made up on the cost of water or where it is paid for by the acre foot. Subirrigating by means of open ditches will also be shown. The ditches are of such depth that the wa ter is absorbed without moistening the surface. This method is advantageous where soil has a tendency to bake or become crusted after watering. Steep Land Watering. Two tracts will show the practicabil ity of watering steep land in open ditches. The inclines on one tract are from thirty to forty-five degrees. The other shows the terrace system, water being dropped froin one terrace to the other. It will be demonstrated that land can be irrigated by this plan with out washing or erosion. . One form of the corrugation system is 'applied to soil where the land slopes in more than one direction, the ditches being made to follow the natural con tour, whichTieeds no grading. Water is supplied through one box and the ditches spread out in fan shape. Another plan of the so called cor rugation idea, best adapted to sugar beet, alfalfsf and grain lands with a gentle slope, shows water distribution by means of V shaped ditches or rills two and one-half , inches deep and about eighteen inches apart The mar ginal dike or basin system of irriga tion shows ditches built "surrounding the tract of varying size, running from one acre to ten acres in area. To prac tice this method successfully the land must be level or have only a gentle slope. Sufficient head may be had in the water - itself to cause it to spread over the ground. Two Dike Systems. On another tract' is the dike system, which follows the natural contour of the land. This method is adapted to ground with a slope, but is not prac tical fori level land. It is similar to the side dike system, but the first cost is less and the results not as satisfac tory. "- The side dike system is used to best advantage on ground with a uniform slope. The method is to build dikes 100 feet apart from eight to twelve inches high, depending upon the char acter of the soil. Water is taken from the head ditch and spread in a sheet over the areas between the dikes'. The surplus passes into a ditch and is car ried to the next area. , "The sprinkler plan calls for spray sprinklers arranged between the trees or vegetable rows and so placed that they "water all of the ground. This system can be used only where water is supplied under pressure." Another system is to. distribute wa ter to each tree in an open flume. . The water is supplied from a. head ditch. This is similar to the piping method to individual, trees, but Is a waste of water, though it costs less to install.
