LOCAL BRIEFS
The Congregational Church has a
traveling salesman for a choir direct
or. He is a good director but a bet
ter traveling man. The average choir
master would have been helpless un
der the circumstances that confront
ed director Robinson, who finding
himself in, a tight fllace if he intended
to make his 'church appointment,
used a livery rig at one end of his
trip, and an automobile and taxi at
the other end, getting on his church
job by the skin of his teeth. At that
he was luckier than his tenor soloist,
for on the previous Sunday, that man
lost a ten dollar gold piece through
a similar anxiety to get to church.

their first annual. The magazine is
exceeding creditable, and gives ex

Amy Peckover. The number of ad

the job. Doubtless the next year will
see another annual, and by that time
the. editorial staff win have had more

LIVE STOCK SCARCE
AFTER HOLIDAY RUSH
The Portland Union Stock Yards
reports as follows:
Receipts for the week have been
cattle 936;.. calves 110; hogs 1364;
sheep 5179; horses 14.
As is usual after the holiday rush,
there is a scarcity of stock of all
kinds. Some few cattle were brought
in for Monday's market which sold
at $7.25 for top but $7.00 was the
price obtained for most of the stuff
offered. As this was not in any sense
fancy stock, the good demand ex
plains the price received. There is a
particularly strong demand for good
cows and the market is a little high
er. The shipments of hogs have been
unusual'' y light. Not a head in the
yards Friday the 28th and $7,60 was
the extreme top for the week and
$7.50 prevailed in most instances.
There is a good steady market for
sheep. Choice yearling wethers
bringing $5.50 and two years olds
$5.25. Choice ewes $4.50 and prime
lambs- easily $6.75. No heavy arrivals
in the mutton division since the .first
of the week.

7TH AND MAIN

Cannery at Mt. Pleasant
Probably the greatest boon for the
Mt. Pleasant section, which is but a
short distance from Oregon City, is
their new cannery which is now put
ting its first output on the market.
This cannery is owned and operated
by a stock company, the members of
which are all growers and live at Mt.
Pleasant. A. A. Pease is president of
the new concern and P. W. Meredith
is secretary. John Christensen, Rob
ert Clark and E. E. Kellogg are stock
holders and are among those who have
an interest in the products of the
plant.
The cannery is located on the Mag
nolia Fruit & Poultry Farm which is
owned by John Christensen an is in
the center of a fine fruit section, no
te for its fine quality of berries, grapes
prunes an apples. Among . the pro
ucts of this cooperative canning plant
are, corn, string beans, Bartlett pears,
Italian prunes, jelly, grape juice,
prune butter, sweet cider, vinegar, etc.
Some of these products have been
sampley by representatives of "Ore
gon City Publicity" and pronounced to.
be extra fine.
"We intend to double our output
next year and 'will add a large variety
of good to our list,'1' said H. R. Jacob
son, who is interested In the cannery
and is acting as traveling salesman.
This statement was made to mem
bers of the Oregon City oCmmercial
Club who are very much pleased over
the success of this new enterprise.
The fact that Clackamas County has
not only farmers who have the ability
to produce fruit and vegetables of par
excellence but also can operate their
own business and sell to a good ad
vantage, is quite gratifying to all
those interested in the progress of
this section.
No doubt more such plants will be
installed in other neighborhoods in
the near future as it is evident
that the organization of a stnall can-.
ning . company is the means of the
growers making more money.

STORES TO CLOSE
NEW YEAR'S DAY
The retail stores of Oregon City,
excepting those that, must essentially
Keep open, "will be closed -tomorrow.
Heretofore the big' stores have kept
open on New Year's despite the fact
of its being a national holiday, but
the owners at a conference Monday
evening decided to give their employ
es a holiday so will close their places
of business. It was agreed by all
that it would be better in the long
run, for the prospective buyers will
have to make purchases some time,
and if they are not enabled to make
them New Year's and they have any
money left, which most Oregon City
folk wi'l have, for they are sensible
they wil make them Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The employes, of
course, are happy and they will enjoy,
the great national holiday to the full
est extent.
FARM CROPS
Stable Manure Supplies Many Plant
Pood Elements and Adds Humus tc
the Soil Calcium Should be Ap
plied Howard Eldridge, Porterville, New
York, writes as follows: "I am a far
mer living in Erie county, New" York.
The soil raises very good crops in
everything excepting wheat an'd oats
The average yield of this grain for the
past few years has - been fifteen or
twenty bushels to the acre, as com
pared to fifty bushels to an acre a few
years ago. How can this land be im
proved?" The principal plant food elements
are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,
and calcium. These are necessary for
the production of crops. If any one
of these elements is deficient, it will
mean that the crop production will be
lessened. Continuous cropping 'ith
out rotation, combined with poor cul
tivation, is bound to result in de
creased yields.
The nitrogen can be replenished by
growing leguminous crops, such as
clovers, cowpeas, soy beans, vetches,
etc. Also, by applying stable manure,
or plowing under a legume as a green
manuring crop! By doing this you
not only supply nitrogen to your soil,
but you improve its physical condition
by adding vegetable matter.
Very few soils require potassium.
This is especially so of sandy soils,
although if the soil is not in good
physical condition, the potassium may
not be available, but if you supply the
vegetable matter either in the form of
green manure or stable manure, it will
tend to make the potassium available.
It may be necessary to supply phos
phorus in the form of a commercial
fertilizer, which may be done by using
finely ground phosphate rock, provid
ing the soil is in the proper physical
condition. The phosphate rock, will
cost you only about half as much and
contains practically twice as much
phosphorus as acid phosphate. The
best way of handling rock phosphate
is to spread it in the stables with the
bedding or to scatter it on the manure
pile. The decaying df the stable
manure will tend to render the phos
phorus available.
The other principle element, which
is especially important if you expect
to grow leguminous crops such as
clover and alfalfa, is calcium. This
may be supplied by the use of finely
ground limestone rock.- The need of
calcium is shown by the presence of
horse sorrel, and the failure of legumes
to grow.
There is another way of determining
the acidity of the soil or the lack of
calcium by the use ofj'litmus paper,
which may be purchased sat'any drug
fitnre. Place the most "soii nronnd the
litmus paper for ten or fifteem rinutes.
If the blue ,aper is turned to a'fHnkVsh
or reddish color, ft will indicata' that
your soil requires lime. Finely ground
limestone may be applied at the rate
of from one tb eight tons to the acre.

depending upon how badly your soil
needs calcium, but the usual applica
tion varies from one to four tons.
The other factors which enter into
crop production are the selecting of
good seed and the preparing of the
soil. It is possible that the seed that
you are using has become somewhat
run out and needs to be replaced by
pure seed. Combine with this the
preparation of a good seed bed which
is very important in order to obtain a
satisfactory yield of small grain. -

METHODISTS TO START
NEW YEAR RIGHT
Dr. T. B. Ford, pastor of the Meth
odist Curch, announced Monday even
ing that there would be a big old fash
ioned dinner at the church at noon
New Year s. While Dr. Ford did not
vouchsafe the information, it has
been learned that he was the in
stigator of the prospective "feed".
Having been a circuit rider he knows
just how far reaching is a chicken
dinner. There will be music and a
special , program, and the members
of the church and their friends are
expected to attend. The pastor is
confident that there will be enough
to eat for all and .even more.
