KALE IS BEST
TALKING CROP
Vegetable is Making Oregon the
Greatest Dairying State In the
Union About its Cultivation
(Oregon Agricultural Collogo Bulletin,
hy James Drydru.)
Kalo is 0: 0 of the host talking cnrjift
iu Oregon. Whnn tlio Oregon booster
wants to provo that Oregon i the host
ilatry state in the union ho has to talk'!
kale. Unless ho knows what kale will
do to the milk bucket he has not quali
fied as a booster. It is called the TIuuih
and hended Kale, and the botanist
knows it us brans. en olerneoa, but it is
the plain kale of four letters that does
the talking. The strange thing is that
it has only been curing the lust two or
three years that u has had an audience,
though it is nearly thirty years old In
the Willamette valley. It has tried to
tnlk nil those years, but the people
wouldn't listen when ii mnigVi recog
nition. "We never heard it tn.kt
thoy insisted, "back in Town and Xew
York. Back there cows produce milk
without kale, and I gnss they will have
to here.' That is tradition. It took
thirty years for kale to g't an nudienee
in this state aul live down tradition.
hTe dairymen of Xew York under
stand what green succulent food means
to the dairy cow, and they build expnn
Hivo silos, buy expensive machinery and
grow fertility-robbing corn which they
irrigate with their swat, in order that
tho farmer during the long ivintei
months may have an excuse for milking!
his "ow3. The Oregonian needs no ex
pensive silos to remind the cow of the
good old summer time. Kale! A thous-1
and blessings on the thousand-headed
lcle! It is making Oregon the greatest 1
dairy state in the union.
Forty Tons ?n Acre.
When grown under favorable condi
tions kale will yield forty tons per
acie of green feed, and ts chief value
is as a soiling crop during the fall and
winter. Splendid results are being se
cured by feediug kale and vetch hay to
dairy cows -without r.ad grain or mill
feed. Dr. Withyeombe of the Agricul
tural College says that 1" pounds of
vetch hay and 40 pounds of kale a day
is practically a balanced ration for a
dairy cow. Mr. W. L. Wilson of Banks,
Oregon, says: "I received $207 from
14 -cows in tho month of December, nnd
fed them nothing but kale, turnips and
vetch hay. The man who feeds chop
would have to make $237 to clear rh
much as I do. I have not had a speck ;
of mill feed in the barn all winter." i
Mr. Byron Hunter of Corvallis has, as j
assistant agriculturist of tho bureau of:
plant industry, United Stnte: depart
ment of agriculture, made a special ,
study of the forage crops of Western;
Oregon, an, in Bulletin Ko. PI. pub
tinned jointly by the Oregon Experiment
Station and the Department of Agri
culture, has the following to say about
kale, which is timely:
. Methods of flowing.
For fall and winter use, kale is usu
ally sown in drills on well-prepared and
drained soil as soon nfter the l.'th of
March as the season will permit. This
furnishes plant a fort ransplanting iu
June and July. The land used for trans
planting is well manured and plewed
two or three times between the first of
March and the first of June. With the
land in perfect tilth it is plowed again
with ft 12-inch plow about the first of
June nnd the young kale plants dropped
into every third furrow about to 3
feet apart. This places about one plant
on every sqtiaro yard. The roots of the
plants are placed where tho next furrow
covers them, leaving the tops uncov
ered. The plants that are plowed in
during the day in this way are rolled in
the evening of the same day to pack
the ground.
Two or three cultivations are all that
can usually be given, for the plant will
soon toueh in the row if they do well.
Any plants that fail to grow may he
replaced by hand. Rnmeg rowers prefer
to plant the seed in hills, and when
the plants are large enough thin them
to one plant id a hill. Others put kale
out hut as cabbage is usually trans
planted, instead of plowing it in. The
time nf transplanting must be deter
mined by the size of the plants and
the condition of the land. If the land
is wet nnd subject to oveflow the trans
planting dav mav be delayed until dur
ing Julv. If the land is well drained
and the plants am large enough it may
be done before the first of June, fn
transplanting enongh plarts mar be left
for a stand on the land where the seed
lings are grown.
KILLS SON.
MISTAKING
HIM FOR A RIVAL
ST. Lot" Is, Mo., June 30. F?ar is
expressed today that Julius Turner, the
wealthy farmer who shot and killed
his young wite and perhaps fata" '
wounded his H-year-old son, mistak
ing tho Irtte- tor his rivpl, will ! hc
his reason thiough worrv over tho tr:i
gedy.
The old nein snys he d vh not regrt-t
the death of his Wife, but laments the
shooting of his sou. Although he had
not been living with his wife for fin r
years, Turner was msanely ielous of
her. She attended a social iu a ?hur?h
at Sailor Springs Monday uiht and
had arranged with her sou to nceiMujuiuy
Her home, without Turner a ;;nrtvled,.
As she emerged from tho churc-i T:ir
ner fired from behind a hush. The
fiist shot killed the woman, and, mis
taking his son for the man who he
thought had called to take his wife
home, fired a second shot. When he
discovered that he had shot his own
i.-n Turner was frantic with grief, but
he expressed no sorrow over killing his
wife. He is begging cnnstantlr tor a
chance to kill himself. Ho trheatens
to slowlv starve himself to death.
TRINITY COPPER !

SALEM CHJ3RRTES
WILL BE CHEAP THIS YEAR
SALEM, June 29. Indications are
that tke price of cherries this year will
be considerably below that of last year,
though the price has not been named.
Tho Mutual Canning Company, which
last year contracted n large part of the
crop 111 othis vicinity at cents a
pound thin early in the season, has not
been seek ing purchases vet t h is vear.
Inquiry elicits the information that the
price paid this year will probably be
less than four cents for the Royal Anns,

Jackson county cherries are abundant

a big price, which will doubtless drop
soon.
WOMAN LAWYER EARNS
HUGE LEGAL
FEE
CHICAGO, June :tO. Although she
just earned the largest fee ever award
ed a female lawver. Miss Marv E. Mil
ler of this city is far from happy today.
Miss Miller is an ardent suffragist and
she is afraid that a flood of proposals
of marriage will pour down upon her
as soon as her abilitv and brilliant lin-
uancial prospects become known to the
world. Of course, she savs, marriage
is entirely out of the question.
Miss Miller has just been awarded
three decisions fought in a case against
the $:t,00l.ono estate of William Dross.
She conducted the cases for the grand
children of Hross nnd is now entitled
to a fee of $,',0,000, which sum will be
paid her as soon as a formal court or-
ler is entered.
KEXXETT, Cal., June 2li The pres
ent uncertain copper conditions in the
country are reflected, iu a senn in the
omul it ions in this county, containing, as
it does, the greatest known deposits of
the red metal ore west of Ely, New, on
the Pacific Coast. The ownership lies
in half a dozen giant companies, all of
them being, wit a one notable exception,
in the field strictly an legitimate oper
ator and uot as stock manipulator.
Realignments in Ownership.
Three of tl.e: have a combined ton
nage of blocked out i.re of over l",000,-
0li) tons, having a grosd value of over
$lu0,000,0(""0. Two others have over a
million tons each in demonstrated re
serve. At the present time onlv one of
tho first three has a smelter iu opera
tion in this county, alt Lough all are sup
pl:ed with great reduction plants.
During the present semi-dormant con
ditions there is eonsiden.ble speculation
rife as to whether certain important
realignment m in ownership are not in
progress. Two somewhat contrast ful
rumors have aitr-ined sirenlation, one
to the effect that tho great Dalaltlava
holdings wero being absorbed th? mine
by the Mammoth Copper eompany.wuieh
has its smelter accessible at Kenuett,
11 ad the (.'orain smelter to the Mouuuiu
Copper company, which w sorely in need
if the. additional smelting cv.pe.eity that
would thus be insured. The other report
is to the effect that Cue Dalaklala com
pauy luul itself done some absorlvng.
The latter of the two is given much the
greater credence.
Absorbs the Tnuity.
While it is kuowu that Manager
Wright of Mie Mountain Oopp.r Torn
pauy was a visitor over ieitar: ci ine
Squaw Creek proper" ies the past week,
it is also known that negotiations have
hoea in progress for some months look
ing to a rearrangement of relationship
between the Halaklala company and
the Trinity Oippcr company, t-K" latter
being one of the pet ccr.ccrus of Thomas
wsou. It is now almot a eo:vicuon
among the best informed in mieing eir-
les hereabouts that ;he Rulakbla com
it'iiy has accomplished the absorption
of the Trinity company.
Manager Austin IT. Hrowu. one of
he foremost engineers on the Pacific
Coast, has had in charge the develop
ment nf the Trinity holdings, and has
brought out one of the big mines of the
count rw He was placed in charge 01
tho property at a princely salary on n
five vear contract and is univerj.illy con
ded to have .ibundantlv earned the
big salary paid him by his no ed em
ployer.
