The hills and valleys alike are literally covered with many varieties, together with tall grasses, while all crops are looking splendid.

GARDEN PEAS IN BLOOM Freak eggs have frequently been found by Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Allen, who came here from Idaho several months ago to run a chicken ranch just north of the city. Recently they found a mammoth egg measuring 7x8 inches and weighing 5% ounces. At the same time they found three small eggs, perfectly shaped, slightly larger than a robin’s egg. All were laid by White Leghorn chickens in the Allen flock. The Allens also boast of gar den peas four feet in height and in bloom. The plants received no more than ordinary cultiva tion. and berries, although the planted acreage in this neighborhood is not large, will probably yield plenti fully. LEE ROY WOODS TO BUILD EUGENE APARTMENT HOUSE Lee Roy Woods, formerly of this city but now of Eugene, has taken out a permit to erect a two-story double apartment house in that city. The estimated cost of the building is $3000. University of Oregon, Eugene, May 15.—Without allowing for any increase in population the timber supply in the United States will be exhausted in 70 years, according to O. F. Stafford, head of the Univer sity of Oregon department of chem istry, who has prepared a paper on “Utilization of Timber.’’ Professor Stafford has made a close study of the timber resources since he begun the work that led to the successful development of the Stafford process for wood distillation. There are peo ple now living, says Professor Staf ford, who will Bee a complete dearth of commercial timber in this country unless conditions affecting growth and consumption change rad icall y. “The original forest area of the United States was something near a billion acres,” writes Professor Stafford “It is now less than half that. We had in early times five trillion board feet of timber; the present residue is perhaps two tril lion. By far the larger part of the missing three trillion units has been removed in very recent years. The rate of increment of American for ests is estimated as only one-third that in Europe and we are using trees three times as fast as they grow. Our per capita consumption of timber is eight times that of Europeans, We are using twice as much wood per person as we did 50 ’ ' ’ 50 billion years ago. Approximately board feet of lumber will be cut in the United States this year. In order to obtain the total wood sub stance drawn from our forests there must be added to the above figure the amounts of wood used for pur poses other than lumber manufac ture and this brings the grand total up to the incomprehensible sum of 300 billion board feet. * ‘ The annual foreBt harvest of the United States would suffice for the construction of a solid timber roadway a foot thick and 200 feet wide entirely around the earth at the equator. Of all the products of life action that good Mother Nature brings forth in this world of ours wood substance is the most lavishly supplied; yet our needs are rapidly forging ahead of this supply. “About one-half of the present standing timber in the United States is in the Pacific northwest. Heading the list of available spe cies is our own splendid Douglas fir. Southern pine is second in the list, although very nearly equaled in quantity by western yellow piue. It is obvious from these statements that this section of the country must play a very important part in the future of a key industry which inevitably advance rapidly to proportions of collossal magnitude. The next 50 years of history in the lumber industry will see the cashing in of resources which liavo been accumulating in Oregon for a per iod reaching far back beyond its settlement and possession by white men. ’ ’ Rebekahs Name Officers. Mrs. Leita Stewart has been elected noble grand of the Rebekahs for the coming year. Other officers elected are Mrs. Anna Beidler, vice grand; Linn Violetto, secretary; Mrs. ~ Eva Hatch, treasurer. The appointive officers will be nnnied later. A’wantad will rent your house. U ■ ■ --------------------------------------------- VALLEY LEAGUE STANDING Cottage Grove- Junction City Roseburg .........

If your clover or alfalfa fails to catch, examine the roots of the plant for nodules.. The failure may be due to lack of inoculation. The inoculation with cultures will not take the place of lime in sour soils. Bacterial cultures for inoculating the legumes may be had at low cost from the department of bacteriol ogy, Oregon Agricultural college. college, Corvallis. • « • The currant aphis which causes the very striking blotches of red coloring on foliage, with cupping and crumbling of the leaves, can best be controlled with a nicotine dust. Obtain a 4 per cent nicotine dust from your spray dealer and apply a light coating through a cheese cloth bag or salt sack. Best results will be obtained when there is no wind and temperature is high. « • « The elm leaf beetle, an imported leaf-eating pest which attacks elm trees as a „ grown beetle and later as a grub, is now appearing on the elm trees of city streets and parks. The adults should be killed before they lay eggs. Spray with arsenate of lead, 3 pounds to 100 gallons of water. Gooseberry mildew and anthrac nosenose leaf can be controlled by lime-sulphur spray, using one gallon of the concentrated liquid or four pounds of the dry to 40 gallons of water. The recommended control men- cures for cylindrosporium leaf spot that appeared on cherry and prune trees last year is an application of Bordeaux 4-4-50. The old last year’s leaves carry the disease and should be buried. ANOTHER CEMETERY NEG LECTED. SPECIAL!
