A rumor hns reached mo re cently to the effect that somo of our fruit growers associations arc nlan nlni! to u-n aonio of this fruit In their second grado class this year. "To use this fruit would be a falsi mistake for the fruit growers of the Northwest. On tho contrary wr should follow very atrlctly our grad lug rules. These rules may bo socur ed from any of the various selllnr agenclea. audi as the North Pacific Krult Distributors of Spokane nnd Portland, and thn Northwest Fruit Exchange of Portland.

C, Corvullls, Ore., Sept A cloddy mulch rather than a dust mulch is the Ideal condition for con serving moisture during thn summer. It was unfortunate, says Professor II 1). Remitter of the Agricultural Col lego, that the term "dust mulch" camo into general use among Oregon farmers, since tho term is really nils lending. Whllo it Is probably true that agricultural scientists had In mind a mulch of flue clods when they 111 ail 0 use of tho term dust mulch, It Is evident Hint a good many farm ers took the word In Its literal aense and have tried to keep the aurface of their flolda covored with two or three Inchoa of dust. During tho dry sea son this form of surface mulch mani fests considerable capillary activity, passing off considerable tiunntitiea of moisture. On the other hand, when rain falls upon It It runs together nnd In drying develops lnrgo cracks through which moisture fairly streams off. The most profitable cul tivation la described In Professor Scuddor's bulletin, "A" Report of the Eastern Orogon Experimental and Demonstration Work," as follows: "Aside from maintaining a good mulch and killing weeds, one of the moBt Importnnt fenturos of the culti vation of the summer fallow Ih to avoid pulverizing the Burfnce soil to such nn oxtent as will cause It to Btop percolation of rainfall and cause the soil to run together and crust bndly over winter In other words, to avoid the much-advortlsed "dust mulch". This moans that no type of cultivator should be used on the sum mer fallow which causes excessive pulverization.. For example, tho Acme harrow type of cultivator should not bo used.and even the com mon harrow when used too often through the summer tends to create a "dust" mulch. On the othor hand, the doslred cloddy mulch can be maintained by culltvatlng so early aftor a rain as to form clods, or hy using tlio dlBk In the fall to throw up clods from tho subsurface soil. Of course, tho fundamental require ment for producing a good mulch la abundance of humus, which, as de scribed elsewhere, aid in muliitalnlng tho crumb and small clod structure of the surface aoll and preventa, as well, crusting Inter on. "The Idea occasionally expressed hy the farmer who Is Interested In trying new methods, that a aurface ciiiiivnilon must be elven nvrv throughout the Bummer or tho like; or coo Jut as far from being correct as that no cultivation at all snouM lie given. Cultivation must be given, and always can lm nmin. ably given, whenever the moisture uuiihorving mulch lias been destroyed or whenever weeds appear, so tlmt the practice Is altogether governed by good Judgment and no other fixed rules. In an ordinary season whore the land has not been allowed to get excessively foul with weeds, two or three harrowlngs of the summor fal low early In tho spring one Im mediately after the lllowln? nnil tlio others whenover the weeds or mulch J'liitro tlieni follow by a couple of cultivations with, the "slicker" In tho summer, and possibly a final cul tivation beforo seeill lllf In tlio full would maintain satisfactory condi tions." Although this was written consern Ing Eastern Orciron cmwlltlnnn P. fessor Scudder says that the prin ciple la general and applies equally well to Wllumetto Valley conditions I'ltKAK l,.W FACTOKY WORKING OVKItTIMK Several measures among tho twon ty-nino on tho ballot are destruc tive to prosperity, development, con tentment or orderly government Sumo even threaten one and all of these public blessings. Chief among tho undesirable measures are the fol lowing; The $1500 exemption The tax to provide public work for the unemployed; Proportional re ;iresentatlon ; Abolishment of the State Senate; Universal eight-hour lay amendment; The attack on water front titles. The thuught uppermost in the minds of the public revolves around high taxes. The chief demand h for reduction in the cost of govern ment. Hut the list of measures sub mitted promises llttlo. Those offer ed promisea nothing.

(Oregonian) r.x m uDK.vs dkktkoy I'UOKPKKITV There must be a halt on taxation in Oregon beforo the point of con tention Is reached. The umount of taxea collected from the people of Oregon this yeni ivlll total Twenty-four Million tlol lars.. The net value of crops produced tills year 1b estimated at Eighty Mil lion (80,000,000) dollars. Assuming that one person In five is a taxpayer, with 750,000 popula tion, we have 150,000 taxpayers, 01 $100 per capita for each taxpayer. Does not this effect the high cost of living, and la It not an embargo against capital coining freely Into this state? Has not the time come to place a limit upon state and county tax levi es? Should not the activities of the legislature bo limited In the Intro duction of bills. In tho laBt legislature bills were introduced making appropriations of about Fifteen Million (15,000,000) dollars and about half of them pass ed. The next legislature should curb this Industry, adopting an Ironclad resolution confining introduction of bills to the first twenty days, and not allow any member to Introduce more tbnn five bills. That line of wqrk would help to restore confidence and prosperity in Oregon.

Where and whon to look for Delavan's eomet, which Is now visible without the aid of a tele scope, was explained todayb y Profes sor Edward H. McAllister, who teach es astronomy and applied mechanics at the state university. Professor McAlister advises getting up two hours before sunrise for the best view of the comet: however, It may be seen also In early evening. Hin Information concerning the celectlal newcomer is as follows: "Delavon's comet has become visi ble to the naked eye within the past ten dayB. This comet was discovered by Paul Delavan at the La Plata ob servatory, Arglntina, on December 17 1913. It has therefore been undo the surveillance of astronomers for moro than nine months. At the time of Kb discovery it was about 370, 000,000 mllea away. It waa three months farther from Its nearest ap proach to the sun, when seen, and yet was very much brighter, than Halloy's comet waa when first seen In September, 1909. This indicates that the comet Is really a large one, but the following circumstances will operate to prevent it from making as magnlflclent a display as Halley's comet: "In the first place, It will not ap proach so near the earth, and hence will not cover bo large an expanse of the sky unless It be very much larger than Halley's comet. In the second place. It will not aproach so near the sun as Halley's comet did, and tht brightness of a comet depends In part upon Its closeness to the Bun. In the third place, It will pass Its nearest aproach to the earth about October 2, but It will not reach Its nearest approach to the sun until the latter part of the month, nnd hence when It Is nearest the sun Itw ill be receding from the earth, and bo even though It may actually be very bright, It will not necessarily appear so. "If the northwestern sky is clear In the early evening, the comet may be seen below the bowl of the "Rig Dipper', at a distance below the bot tom of the bowl about one and one half times the distance between the two pointers. Its course is In a gen eral direction towards Arcturus, the bright red star that appears nearly due west In the early evening at this season. On October 26 It wns a few degrees north of Arcturus. "Although it woy be seen in the early evening, it Is near the horizon. and is often obscured by haze In the atmosphere. The best time to view It Is In the early morning, two hours or more before sunrise, w hen It will be In tho northeast, but still in the tnme position relative to the Dipper. "The nearest approach to the earth will be about 147,000,000 miles, and the nearest to the sun a little more than 100,000,000 miles. The course of a comet can be predict ed after a few observations of Its position have been taken, but the brightness which it will assume can only be predicted In a very general and indefinite way, by considering Its nearness of approach to the earth and sun. An opera glass or field glass will give a much better view than the naked eye, if first focused on a bright star."
