Resume of the News of the
Week from All Parts
Of Oregon
Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance of Robert Sutherhn, a rancher,
who was acidentally drowned in a
swirlhole .on the main highway
through Picture Gorge, the high wa
ter of the John Day river having cut
away the bank and part of the road.
Mr. Sutherlin left home last Thurs
day morning to go to M. Cart'a place
in Butler Basin, and it is supposed
that in the dark he rode into the hole,
which is said to be 20 feet deep, and
was drowned. His horse was seen
Friday by an Indian, with the saddle
turned and wet. The Indian inform
ed the nearest neighbor, who gave the
alarm, and several of the ranchers
immediately went to the gorge. All
they found was Sutherlin's hat in a
willow bush.
A grappling iron is being made and
the swirlhole will be dragged to see
if the body is still there or has been
washed down the river.
Sutherlin was 28 years old.
Frank Jones, the tramp who knock
ed Private Adam Garren from a
bridge at Graves Creek ten days ago,
inflicting serious injuries, was escort
ed by members of Company I, Third
Oregon Infantry, to Grants Pass Sat
urday and turned over to the Sheriff
of Josephine county. Jones is charg
ed with assault with intent to kill.
A record strawbery price that will
probably not be touched again
through the season was set at Hood
River by the Fruitgrowers' Exchange,
which sold the first two full crates
shipped for the season to the Portland
Hotel for $10 a crate.
From now on express shipments of
local fruit in quantities will go for
ward each day. The first carload is
not expected before next week.
and "H" card of 15 hours. Compara
tively speaking, this is the highest
record any scholar can achieve, as the
work of the law school, according to
Dean Hope, is more exacting in ex
amination and general work than
other departments.
Mr. Avison is a graduate of the
Oregon City high school.
xne nooa mver valley laces an
acute labor shortage, according to
Kenneth McKay, manager of the

Fire originating in the kitchen,
where a kerosene lamp exploded, de
stroyed the Dan Campbell building
on Front street and its contents. The
structure was used as a residence.
Mr. Campbell, the only occupant
of the "building, was asleep, but es
caped with only one suit of clothes of
all his belongings and somebody else
stole his trousers and vest, which
were placed at one side while he
searched for other attire.
manuiacturers ana mining con
cerns in the vicinity of Baker are
threatening to shut down their prop
erties if they are called upon to pay
' any higher wages because they say
tney cannot artord to do so. At an
informal meeting yesterday of a num
ber of the big interests in Baker and
the outlying territory the labor ques
ion was discussed and it was decided
that any further increase in the price
of labor would make it prohibitive for
the plants to remain in operation.
The 17th ambulance car for service
in France of the allotted score which
Oregon is to furnish has been re

made by Wells Gilbert, of the
Oregon committee, in Portland
this week. Mr. Gilbert also announc
ed that the University club had vol
unteered to donate the staff cur for
Oregon's equipment, the supply car

According to grades compiled by
the registrar's office for the semester
just ended, J. Bothwell Avison, a sen
ior in the University of Oregon, won
scholarship honors in the law school.
Mr. Avison is the first regular
graduate of the law school and com

AMERICAN SEED FOR
SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
Prepared hv United States department of
agriculture.
- No grave difficulties, it is believed,
stand In the way of the domestic pro
duction of high quality sugar beet seed
sufficient in quantity to meet the needs
of this country. Until the outbreak of
the European war, however, the Amer
ican beet sugar industry was almost
entirely deiendeiit for Its seed supply
upon Europe. Since that time efforts
have been made to Increase the produc
tion of sugar beet seed in the United
States, but the supply Is still so limited
that .several American beet sugar fac
tories were Idle lust year for (his reason.
For this condition of a flu Irs there
seems to be no good reason. In practi
cally all instances American growu seed
has been found to be superior to the
imported. From nn agricultural point
of view, the whole problem appears to
be largely a matter of planting greater
acreages in this country. That this has
not been done before Is due almost en
tirely to the low price at which seed
could be obtained from abroad.
The production pf beet seed requires
two seasons of growth. The mature
beets resulting after one season from
the seed must be hurvestcd, the leaves
removed and the roots carefully siloed
with a dirt covering to preserve them
In a dormant condition through tliej
winter. These roots are planted at tho
earliest possible time the following
spring and rapidly produce seed stalks
from three to six feet lu height. These
are harvested Willi a sickle at tho
proper tlmo and tho seed carefully
threshed, cleaned and cured.
Because of tho fuct that little atten
tion has hitherto been given In this
country to the produclon of sugar beet

University of Oregon, Eugene All
the machinery of the extension divi
sion of the University has, at the di
rection of President Campbell, been
. placed at the disposal of the Red
Cross for the organization work in
the state of Oregon, and has been ac
cepted. The tender was made by Di
rector Earl Kilpatrick, of the exten
sion division, to John L. Clymer, di
rector of the Pacific division of the
Red Cross, with headquarters in San
Francisco.
Work under this arrangement has
already been begun by the extension
division. Alfred Powers, a news
paper and magazine writer of recog
nized ability, has been engaged for
three months beginning June 1 to
direct the publication work that will
be undertaken by the extension divi
sion ftr the Red Cross. Mr. Powers,
who is a graduate of the University
of Oregon, class of. 1910, is coming to
the University at a salary considera
bly less than he has been receiving
in his position as superintendent of
the Oakland (Or.) schools, because of
his interest in Red Cross work and
his desire to be of service.
The University extension division
will be the center of all Red Cross
work in the state of Oregon. The ser
vices of all departments of the divi
sion will be employed, and the extens
ive system of lectures given through
out the state will be devoted to Red
Cross ends so far as may be desira
ble. Already the work of assisting
in the organization of local units in
widely-separated communities of the
state has been begun, and in many
places where there was doubt as to
how to proceed in giving effective
assistance to the great relief organi
zation the necessary instructions are
being given. The entire state has
been mapped and studied in connec
tion with the. needs of the Red Cross,
and the extension division, being in
close touch with what is doing in each
community to cooperate with the Red
Cross, hopes to be able to strengthen
existing chapters and to organize
several others in important centers.
While in the national capital dur
ing his recent trip east, President
Campbell mentioned to the assembled
heads of state universities the matter
of placing extension facilities at the
disposal of the American Red Cross.
The idea was received with enthusi
asm, as it was also at national Red
Cross headquarters.
The extension division will be elad
to be of any assistance desired to the
various Red Cross chapters formed or
forming in the state.

seed, there are no distinct "types of
sugar beets lu the country. In many
fields, whatever the name of the so
called variety grown may be, from six
to twenty distinct types of beets can be
found. In fact. It Is said scarcely two
beets growing side by side In the same
field have closely related external char
acters of leaf or root, and the quality
of roots varies In belli sugar and
purity.
The first step In the development of
a permanent beet seed Industry In this
country, therefore. Is the development

sugar beets and seed stalk production
As tho domestic beet sugar industry
now represents an Investment of more
than $100,000,000, It Is obvious that the
proper development of such an impor
tant element In it as the seed supply
should receive the greatest attention.

About Infertile) Eggs.
It is a in 1st, 'i i;e to assume Hint in
fertile eggs cannot spoil. Thoy will not
spoil In the souse that fertile eggs be
come heated or partly Incubated, but
their contouts wlli evaporate and be
t onie watery, mid if they are allowed
to remain In a dump, musty cellar or
adjacent to vegetables or overripe fruit
they will absorb these objectionable
odors nnd thus contract u very bad

as other eggs.
Public Need Not be Alarmed Over or
der to Railroads
"No serious inconvenience will be
occasioned the public by the read
justment of the railroad 'service to
met the needs of the government.
This assurance was telegraphed from
New York by Julius Kruttschnitt,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Southern Pacific company and
member of the railroad war board.
The messages will serve to allay ap
prehension of the general "public that
passenger service will be radically
curtailed. Mr. Kruttschnit's tele
gram indicated that the railroad war
board has done nothing more than to
suggest avenue of inquiry and in
vestigation to determine means to
increase transportation efficiency.
The positive statement has been made
that the board has neither directed or
suggested that the roads reduce pos
senger service to the extent of seri
ously incommoding the public. So
far no reductions in passenger service
have been made beyond some in local
and commuting service on eastern
lines, and this, it is pointed out,
should not cause alarm to anyone.
The meeting of traffic men in Chicago
June fifth was for the purpose of con
sidering only the elimination of such
service as constitutes duplication or
unnecessary facilities. At Southern
Pacific headquarters in San Francisco
it was declared that the needful fa
cilities for travel would always be
available and that no one need have
any worry as to interference with
summer plans.

Usual Remedy Will not Apply to This
Pest, Says A. L. Lovett
Young bean plants just beginning
to grow well are being attacked by a
small spotted beetle. This beetle is
about the size and general appear
ance of a Lady Bird beetle, greenish
yellow in color with twelve black
spots on the wing covers. They usu
ally appear in considerable numbers
and feed voraciously on the foliage,
soon ragging the plant so thoroughly
as to devitalize or even kill it. In ad
dition to beans, practically all gar
den and truck crops are subject to
injury by this beetle, particularly
squash, cucumbers, corn and egg
plane.
The usual recommendation of ap
plying some poison to the foliage as
practiced for most leaf-chewing in
sect pests will not serve in the case of
this beetle unless supplemented by
what is known as the trap-crop sys
tem. A spray or dust applied to the
plant acts as more or less of a repel
lent and it is somewhat difficult to
get the beetle to feed on treated fol
iage. Therefore m order to avoid
their going down below ground and
eating off the stems of the plants, it
is advisable to leave a few plants here
and there, known as a trap crop for
the beetles to feed upon and treat the
rest of the field. The most practical
method is, in cases where beans are to
constitute the main crop, to plant
here and there through the bean
field a few hills of squash. Tho
beans should then be dusted with a
powder consisting of sulphur 85
parts, powdered arsenate of lead 15
parts, and the squash vines should
be left untreated. The beetles will
then collect on the untreated plants
and may be killed by mechanical
means there. Where no other crop
is available as a trap, a few hills of
