As regards meat, there was a sur

should not be inferred from this that
there would be no difficulty as re

Post mortem was helu on me
special session of the legislature yes
urdav by a score or so of lawmakers !
on their way home, and this was the
gist of many remarks:
Bills were enacted in the final clos
ing hours which were not printed,
were not referred to committee, were
not read in full and were not ex
plainedand yet they were passd in
th confusion, with a very limited
number of members knowing what
they were voting for or against
chiefly voting for.
Invariably there is confusion and
disorder at the fag end of a session.
The members are tired, nervous and
anxious to start for home. They be
gin milling around, gathering in
uroups. talking, and pay little or no
heed to the business being conducted.
At this stage of the proceedings bills
are passed or . defeated without re
gard to merit, in many instances. All
these things were repeated around
midnight Saturday, in the legislative
halls. Aside from the desk clerks,
probably no one but the interested
members who mafie it their business
to follow a special bill very atten
tively, knewwhat amendments were
made and adopted, and a member
could not follow more than one bill
successfully in the confusion.
Road Bills Example.
The most lllustrtous examples were
the road bills. The house passed two
' and sent them to the senate, where
,hv also were Dassed: then the sen
ate proceeded to flood the house with
a Reries of similar measures. These
senate road bills passed the upper
krinrh late Friday night and tney
were not printed when the. session
nHinnrned Sunday morning. The sen-
mart hills were not even sent to
committees for consideration and re- I i
port, nor were they printed. They
were pushed lorwara to inira reauiue
and the procedure was about like
this: ,. T

There would be something more
than 40 votes for the bill and another
county road was wished onto the
state highway system.

Meusures Not Printed.
These bills not having been print
ed the members, other than the few
concerned in a road bill for a certain
county, knew nothing of the provis
ions of the measure. No one has at
tempted to compute the mileage thus
enacted nor what the aggregate total
cost will be. One senator said that
the road bill he put through would
cost a few million dollars. Lobby
gossip, via the grapevine from Salem,
was to the effect yesterday that the
aovernor will veto the entire bunch
P .... i . Kill.
A suggestion ? ad vanced yesterday
was that the Oregon legislature roi
low the example of California. This
is to divide the session into two
Darts. During the first part all meas
ures are introduced and amendments
made, then the members go home and
consider the amended bills. When
thev reassemble they are ready to
vote.
Next to the post mortem, the mem
bers were chiefly interested in the
"come backs." The primaries will be
held in four months and candidates
will have to appear and get on the
ballot in less time than that, so those
who want to return to Salem must
oon decide.
MORE LEAN YEARS AHEAD
British Expert Looks for Continued

LONDON, Jan. 19. The shortage in
production of food caused by the wa

not likely to be in the next year,
says Charles O. McCurdy, parlla

The wheat crops in exporting coun
tries had run down while the demand
for wheat in the importing countries
was up, he declared. That was large

ee where they were going to get it
but it was evident that if people o
this country got as much meat as
they needed they would only have i

At the present time, however, there
was a glut of meat in England and
during the next two or three months
it would be arriving at a rate at

of it. There was a serious risk of a

LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 19. (Special.)
Winter Injury to Oregon fruit trees
as a result of the record cold spell of
December last Is shown by an extend
ed survey of the experiment station
division of horticulture to be spotted
varying from slight damage to winter
Kill.
A large collection of limbs, twigs
and buds has been sent in for ex
amination by college station special-
sts, from whose findings W. S. Brown.
chief of the horticultural division, has
ssued a preliminary report.
The most serious injury was found
n the trunk Just above the snow line
and in the main limbs. It shows as
discolored bark, cambium layer and
sometimes the wood itself. The tender
growing points and sometimes the
inner portion of the fruit spur have
been affected. Many buds are affected
especially on sweet cherries and
pears.
Injuries Vary In Extent. '
"All graduations of injury are
found," says the report. "Among the
causes for this difference are condi
tion of tree at time of freezing,
variety of tree and location. In a few
instances the portion of the tree just
above the snow line was entirely
killed, while in others the bark and
wood were not so seriously hurt as
to prevent recovery, though the crop
will not set for next year.
'In some trees the limbs on the
south and southweBt sides of the
trees -may be killed while the remain
der will recover. On some limbs
patches of bark may die. having later
to be cut out and painted and the
place bridge grafted."
But little to remedy the damage
can be done just now, the report
recites. Pruning, except on neglected
trees, is not advised until the extent
of the injury appears in April or May.
Limbs that are needed later might be
cut. now and 'the uninjured buds in
the tops will be needed to help pull
up the sap in early spring. The more
of these buds removed the less will
Be tne circulation pulL The sap
should be taken to all parts of the
tree to prevent drying out and to
give the injured cambium a chance to
recover.
-Pruning la Not Advined.
"If. the tree has been killed it is
only throwing away. money to prune
when pruning can do do good," the
report continues. "Furthermore, large
cuts made by removing big branches
expose considerable tissue to drying
out, thus injuring circulation of the
sap.".
Badly neglected trees that show but
slight damage may be thinned out.
but if hard hit no pruning is advised.
When the condition "of the tree is
definitely determined later in the sea

Congress' Retrenchment Policy

BOISE, Idalfo. Jan. 19. (Special.)
Idaho's future highway development
stands in serious danger of curtail
ment as a result of congress' an
nounced policy of "retrenchment and
economy," and concerted pressure on
the part of individuals and public
and semi-public organizations will be
necessary to assure the passage o
the federal aid appropriations libera
enough to meet demands.
This is the warning being sent to
county commissioners, highway com
missioners, city councils, chambers
of commerce and commercial clubs by
William J. Hall, state commissioner
of public works, and Colonel D. P.
Olson, director of highways.
The state officials ask that a del
