SPRAYING TIME IS NOW HERE Your orchards should all In pruned and cleaned in good nhiipe by this lime and spray- i"g should bo commenced, tu'es one of Oregon's fruit inspectors. He suggests n spray as follows: Five pound-s fresh unslack ed lime, f pounds sulphur and 15 gallons of water, slack the lime, using as little water as possible; mix the sulphur in water to the con sistency of paste, and add to he lime; then add ruore wa ter and boil in an iron boiler foi 42 minutes or until the mixture i a dark red color tfitb. but little sulphur on the surface. Wtiile boiling keep it well stirred, or it will settle and burn. Then add the remaining of the tifteeu gal lons of water, snd strain ; remove htHJiui Mil. In spray. ing it is best to hnvt; the spray warm, and to ue a coarse nozzle with consider able force. This spray is junt as good for ro-e bu-hes md berry bushes of all kinds as it is for tl.e orchard. MAN MUST BUILD AND MAINTAIN Opportunities for developing the individual are abundant. Every relation of man to life de mands individual effort. Life is more nearly a battle-field than a play-ground. No stone can be lifted above another, to make the crudest wall or dwelling, but na ture, represented by her power of gravitation, strives at once to pull it down. No structure is complete before the elements are at work defacing it. Summer heat and winter cold expand and contract materials of every kind rain and wind wear and warp and twist; the oxygen of the air gnaws into stone and iron alike in a word, all the elements are at work undoing what man has a compolished. Man must not only build he must maintain. It is the same story in the field of agri culture. Here, again, must we battle with nature. We grow useful grains under artifical con ditions, combatting the natural growth of weeds that infest the fields; wind and rain, blighting heat and withering cold menace the crops; the germ of fungoid pests lurk everywhere, and myriad insects attact orchard and meadow and grain fields in de vasting legions. Exchange. - - The Expense of War During the life of this Republic the government has spent for all purposes $21,518,871,351. Of this sum $10,507,677,135 was de voted to militarism and only $1, 952,194,210 to the activities of peace. Over 76 per cent of our expenditures in 126 years were for war purposes. For eight years preceding the Spanish War, our army and navy cost $111,000,000; in the past eight years, over $1,483,000,000, an increase of $1,072,000,000. The increase would build fifteen such wonderful cities as Gary, Indiana. It would have paid the national debt and left a balance of $158, 000,000. It exceeds twice the highest es timated cost of all our deep- water way projects. It exceeds the estimated cost of completing all irrigation pro jects contemplated within a gen eration. As a legacy of war, the United States has disbursed in pensions since 1861 $3,686,461,810. The report of the United States Treasurer for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1009, shows that from receipts of $003,580,48!), the sum of $441, 370,104 was spent for war purposes -73. 1 per cent. Our Supreme Court costs nw v than $250,tXX) annually. Kill irn .u IN PORTLAN SeidBack and son are Lead ers of one of Factions The Oregonian of Monday has an article telling of the killing o1 three Chinese in Portland, tin wounding of several in Seattle and California. It is stated the murders are reported to be traced direct to the murder ot Seid Bing ,i blood relative of Seed Cain, a chinese lawyer and Seid Back, kia father a millionare merchant of Portland. It is generally re ported that Seid Back is the same party that owns the big hop yard opposite Independence and he has with him a private detective nt all times. The two tongs "Hop Sings" and "Bow Lungs" have lieen at better outs for several years and the killing was the re sult of the failure to pay the amount of money requested as indemnity for the death, if cer tain witnesses failed to give testimony.
