Uxl nil'' W trim t Uk County Official Paper In neurly every livi com munity there is some sort of un urbanization doing hiisiricns un der tl. ntyle of a Commercial Club or a Itooster Hunch orI. vclonrnont Lruiruo or norm; other name indenting that its oliject is to advertise the community to nssist in developing the in ilustrieH and to do what it can to bring growth and prosperity to th community In which it is doing buainoHS. Neurly every one of the clubs or organizations kvns itself supplied with liter ature deHcribing the country, the city, the industries, the agri cultural and horticultural devel opment, its other and various re nources, which literature is sent out to all enquirers and to the nmny fairs and gatherings all over the country. It is an or ganized effort to induce people to come to that particular com munity to make homes and to estahlith industries. All of this literature is written up by some person paid to paint everythinx in the brightest of colors. Only the very best of everything in mentioned and those things are generally added to about SO per cent, so that the eastern people and prospective settlers who have had so much experience in reading such literature and in vestigating the communities ad vertised that they regard it all is so much exaggerated as to cause suspicion. When the State Editorial As guciation was in session a couple of weeks ago in Portland, Mr. Klbert Bede-. the new president of the association, advanced the propositi m of the newspapers taking up this work with the commercial organizations with a vie of supplying prospective homeseekera and others with a few months subscription to the local paper instead of so much of the lMMster literature. The sug irestion was without doubt one of great merit. When a person in the east geta a paper each week fr-irn a community in which he is interested, he can gather from the news therein contained more real information of a reliable character than he can by read ing nil the booklets that can be secured. He can see what is actually being done in the com niunity; where Mr. Jones or Mr. S.nith has raised some large Pumpkins or potatoes; how Mr P.rown has just gathered 25 boxes of fine apples from one tree; how the Model Dairy farm ist harvesting large crops of vari ous kinds of hny from a 30-acre tract, sufficient to enre for and feed 25 head of good cows; how a groat industry i employing hundreds of men at good wages, and where farms are for sale at prevailing prices. In fact, all the information one wants to know and information that can bo depended on. In St. Helens we know that such a course would result in much good to the community in the matter of se curing more desirable people and Industries. There is hardly a day passes but that the Mist gets letters from somebody asking for sample copy of the Mist; that he or they are interested in St. Helens and Columbia County and want to read the local paper for reliable information. In order to better accomplish the desired results from the cir culation of the Mist in the east and other places where there ",ay 1 u chance of m-currm Home good people and ,. lllore industries, this paper i prepar ing some statistiea to be taken from the mor.l:. at the Court House and City liall describing St. Helens Mid Columbia County, page of information, a Coium'- i-ouruy Encyclopedia, and will run it each week. The Com mercial club and the real estate nniiH. together with many pri vate people who have friendH interested in the county, will sub scribe for extra copies. In fact, several of the firms have already taken subscriptions. The Club of this city will alao subscribe for any respective settler who is in earnest. We are going to try this method. The Mist is going to do its part towards giv ing information that will result in a growth and development of the community and the other people interested will have to help us whether they want too not. A noticeable feature of the Circuit Court proceedings the past two weeks was the number of men charged with crime who are unable to employ an attorney. Out of seven men called upon to defend themselves upon felony charges, Jonly two had sufficient funds with wtiich to employ an attorney. The other five asked the Court to appoint attorneys for them, so that the county not only has to pay the bills for their arrest and board, but must also pay attorneys fees to insure them a fair trial. So it is' plain to see the character of men who com mit crimes. The fact that they are poor men, of bourse is not indicative of anything, but the fact that so largo a proportion of them have no funds, nor friends nor means of defending them selves indicates that the large majority of criminals are from the idle and indolent class. Stale News At a recent meeting of the job bers and manufacturers of Port land it was decide! to make Buyers' Week annual event, the next one to be held from Aug. 10 to 15. 1114. An oU'.cial report was made of the results of the buyers' week during Septemlter which showed thai buy ers from 2'i'l stores in 150 towns visited Portland. Of this number t OS bought more than $500 worth of goods, entitling them to a refund of their railroad fare. While the most of the buyers came from Ore gon communities, Washington, Idaho and Montana were liberally represented and every visitor went home at peace with himself and his entertainers artd satisfied that his time and money hud been well ;ent. A suggestion that might be profit ably adopted throughout Oregon is that contained in exchange to the etfect that the I'nited States De partment of Agriculture is to en courage a"d assist in the organiz ation of "pig clubs" among the young people in every agricultural community throughout the countiy. It is pointed out that pigs are everywhere a profitable crop, that even ihe smallest growers can make a little money out of hogs and that every family can at least I wer the cost of living by raising its own ,,ork. The "pig club" plan is a good one and worthy of general adoption. 0. A. C. Notes Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore. "Although the use of lime-sulphur spray as an insecti cido is more effective when applied In the spring than in the fall and winter, it may be applied now or later with good results in the con trol of scale insects." says Vrof- II. K Wilson, head of the Crop Test department of the Oregon Agri cultural college. "It will destroy young insects if It reaches them shortly after they are hatched, but it is not so effective against eggs of .phis and other insects as is gener- :ally supposed. Neither does it jHeem to have much effect on plant lice after they are a few days old. j "Most eggs of plant lice and i other insects hatch about the time i the buds are opening in the spring. Ihu spray should be applied about the time the buds are showing green or just after the buds have opened to a blight extent on apple trees and other trees in which the leaf buds open first. "While lime-sulphur may be used with safety at the rate of six or eight to one, it is just as efficient under ordinary circumstances at the rate of twelve to one. When used in the spring its effectiveness may te greatly increased by the addition of one part of "Hiack-Leaf-40, " a tobacco spray, to 1500 parts of di luted lime sulphur. If the compined spray is used in the spring at the time indicated practically all plant lice can be con trolled, as well as several other kinds of insects which cannot be controlled by lime-sulphur alone. The combination is effected by di luting the lime-sulphur to the one-to-twelve strength in the spray tank and then adding the "Black Leaf 10 The combined spray should be well mixed before using."
