A
GLEAN CITY URGED
FOR THE FESTIVAL
Woman's Club Starts Crusade
for Beautification of Port
land by June.
PLAN IS TO BEGIN EARLY
Back Tarda, Basements and Struts
Should B in Bt Condition
for Rose Festival Health
Also Is an Object.
A thorough cleaning ot back yards,
front yards and basements before the
beginning of tha Rose Festival Is
urged by the Civic Committee of tha
Portland Woman"s Clnb. It Is urged
that Tlsltors will not only observe tha
decorations and the display of festival
week, but will also note the condition
of the streets, of the buildings and of
tha grounds. The cleaning -of base
menta and streets also will proaiote
tha health of the-community, as the
disease-breeding fly will thus be de
prtved of feeding places. The state
ment of tha women Is as follows:
"In rlew of the approaching festival
season, when It Is. expected that this
city will be visited by thousands of
guests from other parts of the world,
the Civic Committee of tha Womin'i
Club urges upon every householder
and property owner of Portland" the
crying need for a systematic and gen
era! cleaning up of the whole city be
fore festival decorations are placed.
Clean Streets Would Attract.
-The thousands of visitors will not
content themselves with viewing the
pageants and the gay decorations.
They will note the condition of our
streets, of our streetcars, of our va
cant lots, of our back yards. Their
conclusions as to the desirability of
Portland as a home will b based upon
such practical details as these, rather
than upon the temporary entertain
ment provided them. I-et us build up
our system of decorat'ons upon the
sure, safe and sane foundation of
cleanliness, order and health.
"Our Rose Festivals have passed the
experimental stage, and by means of
the coming one Portland, should be
conceded Its rightful position as one
of the most beautiful cities of the
world. But no matter how appropriate
or how carefully planned our decora
tions might be. If their background
exhibited a lack of cleanliness and
care. If slovenliness and Indifference
to health were the most saltfnt char
acteristics of the cltlxens of this com
munity, then. Indeed, would our fes
tivities be a mockery and our dcora
tlona a travesty on the natural beau
ties of our home.
Health One Reason I'rjted.
"Let us devote the last week In May
to a real and serious attempt to Im
prove our material conditions. For
the sake of the public health, a thor
ough cleaning out of all basements,
both of private houses and of business
or public establishments, should be the
order of the day before the warm sea
con is established. The typhoid fly
would thereby be deprived of a favor
ite breeding place, and race suicide
would be bis only recourse. Vacant
lots should be cleared of rubbish, the
grass and weeds should be cut and
removed from them. Furthermore, let
ua see what transformations can be
worked by means of soap and water,
fresh paint, earnest effort and a little
money, combined with intelligent seal
for our city's good.
"We hope that your organisation will
Indorse) these suggestions for a "clean
up week" May 24 to May 31 and will
make an active, personal campaign In
their behalf-
POLITICS TO BE SUBJECT
Municipal Government Will Bo Dis
cussed at Y. M- C. A. Today.
-The Toung Man an Municipal Gov
ernment." will be the general topic of
the men's meeting to be held In the
auditorium of he Portland Young
Men's Christian Association this after
noon at 3 o'clock. This topic, of
course, was suggested by the proxim
ity of the primaries and the city elec
tion, and R. R. Perkins, religious work
director, has arranged a programme
for the purpose of stimulating interest
In municipal politics, especially on the
part of young men who have recently
become residents of Portland.
The programme will consist of a
series of brief addresses, several of
which will be given by newspaper men.
. The closing address will be delivered
by H. W. Stone, general secretary of
the T.UCA. who will probably have
some definite facts to present concern
Ins the local political situation.

Zromlnnt Kew York Elk Thinks
Convention Will Come Here.
Certain that New Tork will vote for
Portland for the Elks' convention In
IMS. W. V. Lyons, of New Tork. who
has been In the city for the past week,
declared that - In his opinion Portland
waa a aure winner. White In the city
Mr. Lyons secured copies of the Port
land Elk song and had them sent to
New Tork.
-Portland la the proper place for the
convention of IMS." said Mr. Lyons,
-and 1 look forward to an easy victory
when the day comes for selection. The
Elks throughout the country have been
hearing so much about Portland that
they are anxious to see the city. In
New York, our exalted ruler la an en

feel morally certain that our delegates
will cast their votes for Portland."

he said, la an Improved systemsof mar

-It seems to be almost Impossible to
buy fresh and wholesome eggs on the
market. continued Professor Lunn.
-The same Is true of dressed poultry.
The trouble la that people do not take
the trouble and the pains to prepare
the product properly for market.
-Denmark and Sweden are in ad
vaace of u in thla respect- In those
countries they have co-operative mar
ket. The agents visit the homes of
the farmers at frequent intervals and
gather up the egga aa they are laid. In
a short time they are able to secure
large quantltiea and place them on the
market In a. fresh condition. In some
parts of Canada and In a few placea
In the United States this system Is in
vogue. Until Improved marketing
eystems are adopted generally In this
country the stalo erg question will be
before us continually.
-In preparing poultry for market
much depends on the system of feeding
and the kind of food available for the
chickens. Chikins should be kept In
clean places and should not be allowed
to be in barnyards and around stables.
I LUNN TALKS ON POULTRY
' Farmers Should Know How to Treat
and Prepare Fowls for Market.
-Unless a farmer knows how to pre
pare poultry for market or If he is
unable to find a market for poultry
products, even though he ralaea fowls
along scientific lines, he will not make
a auccess In the poultry business," said
Professor Lunn. of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, at the Y. M. C A. Fri
day night.
The speaker said that there are
many factors required to make a suc
cessful poultry raiser and that each Is
dependent upon the other to obtain tha

ALFALFA NEEDS BACTERIA
Dairymen of Eastern Washington
Study Conditions of Its Growth.
PULLMAN. Wash.. May 7. (Special.)
One of the greatest needs of Western
Washington dairymen Is better and
cheaper forage crops. Where alfalfa
can be grown successfully. It takes
first place with the progressive dairy
man because of good yields and excel
lent feeding quality. It is high in pro
tein. Hut auaiia nas us requirements.
It grows best In deep, well-drained.
loamy soils, with a good supply of pot
ash and lime. The loamy soils may
vary from the gravelly sand to that
where clay predominates, but the drain
age must be certain. The common
phrase. "Alfalfa will not grow with
cold feet" Is very expressive of Its re
quirements.
In comparatively recent years we
have learned that most of the legumes
(those plants that produce their seeds
In pods must be Inoculated with the
nitrogen-producing bacteria before they
will thrive In new soil. The bacteria
must go to the plant, for the plant
cannot reacn the bacteria, and It has no
power to create. The manner of Its
reaching the plant is not material, so
lone it gets there. It may be car
rleduy dust. wind, high water, or by
the use of hay which might easily be
charged with aome of the bacteria. Thus
the Impression has often arisen that al

true.
