My Dear Sir:
I am very anxious to obtain for the
benefit ef the Joint Committee, an in
telligent expression of public opinion
on the basic questions involved in the
granting of Federal aid In road im
provement. It occurs to me you might
like to co-operate In this matter to the
extent of stimulating, the public to an
expression of their views. If this sug.
gestion strikes you favorably, will you
kindly advise me as early as practi
cable as to public opinion in your sec

propriations in aid of public roads?

Government appropriation, if made, be
expended: (a) all roads; (b) post
roads (r. f. d. and star routes); (c)
main traveled market roads; (d) main
highways connecting important cities
and towns in state; (e) trunk line,
interstate highways connecting state
capitals and large cities?
3. Should the Government appropri
ation be expended on construction, on
maintenance, on general improvement,
or on any or all of these, or should the
allotment by the Government be un
conditional, or paid as a reward after
local authorities have constructed or
maintained a highway In good condi
tion? 4. What proportion of cost of con
struction, improvement or maintenance
should be borne by National govern
ment, state, county, road district, and
abuting property owners.respectively,
or what amounts should be allotted to
the states on an unconditional plan, or
what amounts per mile should be paid
as rewards?
5. Should the Federal appropriation
be apportioned among the states on
basis of population, area, mileage of
roads, mileage of rural and star routes,
taxable valuation, or a combination of
these?
6. Should the supervision of con
struction or maintenance of Govern
ment aided roads be by the Federal
Government, the state and local auth

Yours very truly,
JONATHAN BOURNE,
Chairman.
EGG LAYING RECORDS GIVEN
They Are a
So the O.
Question of Breeding,
A. C. Demonstrates
Some hens will not lay, no matter
how they are fed and cared for. It is
a question of breeding, but not of
breed, for so far as egg laying goes
there la little difference in the breeds.
At the station It has been found that
the eggs laid by average hens of any
one breed ranged from 6 to 259 a year.
The average flocks, with good care,
produced 125 to 130 to each hen. One
pen bred from hens that laid over 20)
eggs the past 12 months. The lowest
record was 180 eggs, the highest 251.
inner pullets wnose motner was a
poor layer but whose father was the
same as those from the good layers,
averaged 152 eggs. O. A. C. Bulletin
FARMING HAS ADVANTAGES
Country life has its drawbacks, but
it has its great advantages which over,
come them. True, those who live in
the country are "Rubes" and "Farm
ers" and "Hayseeds" to the cigarette
smokers In town, but the boast of the
bussiness men in the world today is
that they were born on the farm.
Take away the surroundings evils that
beset the young men and women on
the threshold of life's Journey In the
city and substitute the helpful Influ
ences of nature, and you fortify them
for the sterner walks of life. Forest

IQ SURPRISE TO MANY
IN HOOD RIVER
Local people are surprised at the
QUICK results received from simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mix
ed In Adler-l-ka, the German append
icitis remedy. Charles N. Clarke,
Druggist, states that this simple rem
edy antlsepticlzes the digestive sys

thoroughly that A SINGLE DOSE re

ach and constipation INSTANTLY.
"INSURGES"
FAT
AGAINST
Representative Murdock of Kansas
having iusurged successfully against
standpatism in politics, also rose In in
surrection against fat. says the Spokesman-Review.
It came about in this
wise and contains a message of cheer
to those who wish, "Oh! that this too,
too solid flesh would melt!"
Victor of Kansas, at the end of the
last congress, had assumed the gen
erous bulk of a young balloon. He had
sworn off smoking a year before that.
He had swung shtllalahs unsparingly
against Cannonism, reaction and spec
ial privilege. Hut the strenuous life
only made him take on more flesh
than ever.
The knightly Kansan didn't realize
how Falstaffian he was growing. One
day he was rolling merrily across the
ways of Washington. A friend called
to him that "he waddled like Sereno
Payne." that standpatter on the tariff.
This grieved Victor doubly. Severely
quoth Murdockl "You mean I walk.'
Merciless was the emphatic answer
"I mean waddle."
Incarnate Insurgency mtered the
capitol grieved to the heart. He
thought not of progress in politics nor
of starry-eyed goddesses of reform. He
meditated mournfully on the progres.
sivness of adipose tissue. "Two hun
dred and thirty-one pounds?" He set
his lips grimly. He would overthrow
the fat worse than Norris overthrew
Cannon.
Last December a well groomed youtn
whose statesman's "Prin e Albert" fell
straight and smooth adown his manly
form without one wrinkle across it
seated himself in the chair of Repre
sentative Murdock. No. man recog
nized the stranger for some moments.
Then it dawned on them that here was
a new Murdock.
They inspected him with envious ad
miration." For heaven's sake, Victor,"
rose the chorus, "tell us the recipe."
Insurgency proudly replied: "Join my
anti-eating society and I'll give you
the best tip ever handed a fat man."
Eat only one meal a day, he said.
Drink no liquors at meals or for an
hour before and after. Avoid starches
and sugars. Cut out butter, potatoes
and white bread. If you must drink,
avoid beer. Walk four miles every
day.
Standpatism groaned. It revolted
against self-denial and the practice of
special privilege. But others Joined
the noble order of Murdock martyrs
and the restaurant of Congress suffer
severely.
IRRIGATED LAND FAILS
Expert Finds That Use of
Causes Deterioration
Water
Deterioration of Irrigated lands in
the West has resulted in efforts by
the government to overcome what
threatens to be a serious danger to
all of the lands embracd in the gov
ernment's Irrigation projects.
Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bu
reau of plant Industry, says that the
department of agriculture is working
hard to overcome the recognized dan
gers confronting farming on irrigated
lands.
Dr. Galloway's statement was made
before the house committee in expendi
tures in the agricultural department.
He said the department hoped to be
able to put irrigated farming upon a
firm basis for the future. The danger
lies not only in the alkali in the soils
of irrigated lands, which washed down
into other land, but also in what ex
perts term as the " wearing out" of
the saturation.
"I will go as far as to say, and it
may be someyhat startling," Dr. Gal
Iowa said to the committee, "that so
far as I know there never has been
any long-continued irrigation in a semi.
arid climate anywhere in the world
"There is nothing whatever in condi
tions in the West to warrant the be
lief that Irrigation agriculture is in
any danger of extinction today, to
morrow or within the next hundred
years'asserts Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Agriculture in reply to
a letter from Secretary Fisher, object
ing to the declaration of Dr. B. T.
Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, that so far as he knew there
never had been any long continued
successful irrigation farming on arid
land anywhere in the world.
The secretary adds, however, that
there are conditions in the West need
ing careful consideration on the part
of those Interested In the proper devel
opment of this vast region. He says
Dr. Galloway, in bis rcent statement to
a House committee, meanth that in
many parts of the world where arid
conditions prevail, such as Asiatic Tur
key, Persia, Afghanistan, the extreme
Northwestern portion of India, parts of
North Africa and our own Southwest
ern country, irrigation agriculture has
bad its period of rises and declines.

a little sunshine for a rainy day.

MURDOCK
GRAFTING ADVICE
GIVEN BY EXPERT
Edward Trimbl, expert pathologist
for the Western district, says:
"Several of us have been writing
articles for some time on the subject
of reducing the number of varieties In
the valley. Since this Is surely a
move that many growers will make it
will be well to consider the subject
of grafting and other means of chang
ing the variety.
"There are some seven different
methods of doing the practical work of
grafting, most of these methods are
good if properly executed. Without
going into various mechanical pro
cesses of doing the work I desire to
call your attention to some of the
fundamental principles that make for
commercial success. There Is a great
difference between getting a few grafts
to grow in a tree and making over a
tree by grafting so that It will be a
good a commercial bearing tree as it
was before.
It is a great mistake to saw off the
big limbs near the head of the tree
and graft onto the large cuts. It Is
far better to cut the smaller branches
higher up on the tree, always keeping
In mind the framework of the tree to
be rebuilt and put in a larger number
of scions, in the smaller branches.
To do this will increase the production
of the grafted tree when the grafts
come into bearing often three or four
times.
To make a firm union between the
grafts and the limb there should be a
good long cambium contact The sci
ons should be cut with long sloping
cuts, and fitted very carefully In the
limb. This will make a strong union
that will not be torn out by the wind.
Be sure and wax the grafts well, and
never forget to put wax on the top of
the newly inserted scion.
Varieties that are very poor on
which to graft like the Lauver, should
be dug out and new trees planted in
their places.
HORTICULTURAL BILL IS IN
Senator Butler Introduces Measure
Revising Present System
A commissioner of horticulture,
backed up by a law giving him large
powers In looking after nursery stock
and supervising the horticultural in
terests of the state, is the proposal
made in a bill inroduced In the senate
by Butler of Wasco by request of the
Oregon Horticultural Society.
The bill appropriates $60,000 all told
for salaries and expenses. It fixes the
pay of the commissioner at $3000, his
term at four years, his office at Port
land, and his traveling expenses at not
above $2000. He would be appointed
by a state board of horticulture, con
sisting of the governor, the president
of the State Horticultural Society and
the horticulturist of the state agricul
tural college.
The bill contains 49 sections, and
forms what might be called a horticul
tural code for the state.

Washington City Decides to Buy
Complete Plant
The city council of South Bend,
Wash., has decided to purchase as
soon as possible a paving plant with
which to lay its own pavement. A
week ago several councllmen visited
Chehalis, inspected the plant there and
the work done, and found a saving of
60 per cent over private contracts.
The councllmen are now investigating
lifferent makes to find the plant for
use here. Mayor L. L. Darling and
several other councllmen go to Seattle
this week, where the Moran Engineer
