Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lts, Oregon, July 25. "Remarkable re sults have been obtained In Hood riv er by the college experts in eradicat lng fire blight.' said Dean A. B. Cord- ley of the Oregon agricultural college today, discussing the progress of this branch of the pest eradication work of the institution. . ' 'Tire blight was first reported to this experiment station from Hood Rher last fall, and Prof. H. S. Jack son of our department of plant path ology spent some two weeks with Mr. Cassner, their county fruit inspector. and the corps of Inspectors In locating the disease and cutting It out as thor ing more ice cream Uian any city in the world. No less than 310,000 gal lons of this summer delicacy are be ing consumed daily here. Just what the weekly consumption of more than 2,000,000 gallons amounts to ig Bhown by the fact that if all of It were piled up In Madison Square it would be suf ficient to make & huge cone with base 50 feet cross tapering to a point more than three hundred feet in the air, or nearly half as high as the Met ropolitan towr. This huge mass. If it could be kept, from melting, would be sufficient to reduce the temperature of Madison Square and the neighbor hood to. near the freezing point. It would ' ncessltate the starting of ail the furnaces In the big office buildings, clubs and residences. To transport this huge mass of cream from the fac tories to the dumping ground in Madi son Squire 'would require over 600 j two team wagons every day for a week,; or 4,420 big wagons, each one having a capacity of 500 gallons. This pro cession of Ice rceam wagons would be very much longer than the coronation parade. If one day's output was placed in one gallon 'Ins and laid along the ground like a pipe line, it would be 73 1-2 miles In leng.h. Altogether Father Knickerbocker's Ice cream ap petite is truly gigantic. de LI liCiCUU, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26 AIID THURSDAY, JULY 27 The Birth of a Nation," or "The Life of Moses."

"The results of this fall and spring work under the direction of Professor Jackson and Mr. Lawrence appears to be that fire blight has been completely eradicated from the Hood River re gion,' 77:7 ' "This, so far as 1 know, is a resuli which has never before baen accom plished, in .any fruit growing region that has once been infested with flri blight.

"Oregon hag demonstrated, through the eradication of fire, blight at Hood River and the excellent work In con trol of pear blight at Rogue river, the fact that she has at least two of the most progressive fruit growing sec tions in the entire country," said Dean Cordley. " ''Some four years ago, when I first from all over the world crowded into the exposition grounds.

He is at a hospital In Boise, Idaho. Hla hide when first removed weighed 1,200 pounds and mon hs were spent in the delicate task of scraping it down to the last degree of thinness compati ble with strength, at the end of which operation the weight was reduced o 6 pounds. It takes someth:ng more than a taxidermist to mount a Skin of this sort.' The services of a sculptor are required for the skin l not stuffed but but placed over a clay model which has been prepared to fit it exactly. The task of making these models so that the skin will fit every wrinkle and fold In proper place is an extremely difficult one. Tho"sands of measure ments must be made to assist the man who must, be both sculp'pr and natur allst. The mounting of old Caliph's bide Is said to be the biggest feat ever accomplished In its field. A plan tor keeping cool which has at least the attraction of novelty has just been received here by Police Commis sioner Waldo in a letter from an altru ist In Liverpool, and although the com missioner has been so busy that he has not had time as yet to test it, he has passed H along for what it may be worth.
