buckwheat recommend ed AS BEST LATE GRAIN CROP Sowed Early in .June .the Crop Will Make Good Returns In Wheat Substitutes O. A. C. Experiment Station, Lorvallis, June 7. Xo olla-c grain crop for late phnting in Oregon is quite equal to buck wheat, the Oregon Agricuituial College station has found by re peated trials on the college farm. The following recommendations for its culture are offeied by Prof. G. R. Hyslop, head of farm crops : cicu neias, narvesuu ion isuage or uestroyeu by apms may' be disked up thoroughly or inr some cases plowed and woiKedj to a seed bed for the crop "Buckwheat sowed at thirtv five to forty pounds per acre as early as possible in June will give a good return of wheat substi tutes for stock feed. It is a good feed for poultry and ot'ier kinds of live stock when in mixture with other grain. The grain is rich, nutritious and is a crop that is easily handled. 4 t 1 . Oregon nas never been a large producer of bucl-wheat, but all indications are that every; pound of buckwheat that may 13 poduced jwill be valuable and will help to carry huraai beings and live stock through the com ing winter. "The college has a circular on buckwheat which may be had o;i request." w DEATH CAMAS POISONING IS NOW AT ITS H EIGHTH Sheep, Horses and Cattle and Even Children Have Pecn Poisoned by this Plant O. A. C, Corvallis, Or., June 7 Death camas is the least known of the stock-poisoning plants and because sheep are very suscep tible to it the losses art some times very heavy in Oregon. And this is the time of year that it is most deadly, just previous to and during the blossoming stage. Losses sometimes go as high as 50 per cent of the band. "All parts of the plant are poisonous, especially the flowers and seed," says Prof. W. E. Lawrence, of the 0. A. C. Lambs are more susceptible than sheep. Experiments seem to show that for all parts of the plant except the seed the toxic dose is not far from 1-2 pound to every hundred pounds of live weight of the animal Cattle and horses are susceptible be cause of their greater weight a larger amount of the plant is re quired to produce poisoning. Even persons, espeeialy child ren, are reported as having been poisoned by eatng the bulb of death camas, mistaking It for the. blue flowered edible kind. The plant is found in Eastern and Western Oregon, ranging from low to high latitudes. It grows in moist but not wet places though these places may dry out during the summer after the plants die. Although known to surpris ingly few stockmen, death eaniai is easily recognized at f.owering time by its creamy-wmn: cmsu-r of small flowers. It has an on- ion like bulb, usually covered b.v a black membrane by which it mav be recognized after drying ter hark of a little ridge, which pro , u ,,; II ! tected It from the Germans, who were up, uuring which nine j (iny 1(l0 yar(ls ah,,a(j.

REFUSES TO SAVE HIMSELF With Pipe In Mouth He TranquIII, Picks .Off German After German Until He Falls, Riddled With Bullets. With the French Armies. To the Seventy-ninth Freuelj raiment of in fantry belongs the honor of the only citation lu the present war to "An Un known Soldier." The croix de guerre, which the cita tion merited, and which in view of the hero's death would ordinarily be given by the French government to the sol dier's nearest relatives, lies unclaimed at the ministry of war at Taris. All thatTs known of the man is the man ner of his death and the fact that he Is burled where he fell on the heights of Saint Epvre. The story of this "unknown soldier" Is unquestionably the story of thous ands of other French heroes In the ear ly days of the war before means of identification of the dead had been es tablished and when regiments were hurriedly formed, thrown into action and decimated before a soldier knew the name of the comrade fighting at his side. Story of Heroism. The only difference is that this "un known soldier" received a citation for his life's sacrifice and the others did not. This Is the story: On August 20, 1914. during the fore noon, the First battalion of the Seventy-ninth regiment of infantry, which had been decimated at Morhnnge, was hastily reformed in the vicinity of Rosleeres-Aux-Sallnes from a contin gent of reserves which had been rushed lip. That evening before the original members of the ImltaUoa had had time -5 by the Germans in a violent surprise nttack on the heights of the farm of Salnt-Eypre, near Lnneville.

A moment afterward, the Seventy ninth leaped again to the assault and drove the Germans down the ridge. Thnt night the Seventy-ninth burled their hero on the summit of the ridge where he had fallen. There was noth ing about his person to Indicate his '.tient'.ty. His deed of heroism was sig naled to the ministry of war. The min istry of war did everything In Its pow er to Identify the soldier, but without results. Unwilling that the sacrifice should go unrecorded, the citation was granted in the name of "An Unknown Soldier." Trees a Service Flag. East St. Louis, 111.
