OREGON' AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Corvallis, May 31. (Special.) A com
Plete reorganization of the military
department at Oregon Agricultural col
lege will be made and the new tTBtera
will be In force by the opening of col
lege nexn tail. Colonel Joseph K. Par-
tello will be In command. Unlike the
old . system of one unit, there will be
rive at least. Special officers, trained
for specific lines of work, will be In
charge of each unit.
The new arrangement will Include
field artillery, infantry, signal corps,
engineering, motor transport and pos
sibly cavalry. Maior E. C. Hanford
will be in charge of the field artillery,
which requires an extensive supply of
equipment, costing about 300,000.
Major A. M. Jones will command the
Infantry unit. An officer will prob
ably be assigned to the motor trans
port unit-and Colonel Partello will take
the signal and engineering men. As
these last two will be trained in highly
xecnmcai lines, most or their work will
ko with the regular college staff.
Outride Drill Feature.
A new feature will be the limitation
of outside drill. Formerly all men, ex
cluding some seniors, drilled regularly
lour rimes a week. Under the new
system, freshmen will drill three days
a. week, devoting the fourth dav to
technical study. Sophomores and upper-
ciassmen will drill only occasionally.
-j.neir time wm be taken up in train
ing in special lines, for the plan Is
to turn out men who upon eraduatlon
will - be reasonably ready to become
cancers m the United States army.
vine study which all men will have
In .common will be hcrsemanshio.
Nearly 100 horses have been ordered
tor the college and the boys will be
taught how to ride and care tar the
animals.
A target range about 2 miles nntM
of Corvallis will be equipped with
seven targets. Target practice will be
held regularly following the work In
doors in the armory. Revolver prac
tice will be included in this line of
work.
Officers Not Assigned.
Physical education will form an Im
portant part of the training of the
siuoeni-orricers and In this work the
department of physical education under
the direction of Dr. A D. Browne, will
co-operate with Colonel Partello and
hi3 assistants.
Although all officers have not been
assigned to the college, the staff is
now larger than ever before. In the
field artillery unit Major Hanford will
be assisted by Captain Wetengell. Cap
tain Gully, Lieutenant Elmer and Lieu
tenant Scott. Captain Spoerry will be

These elements are all present in

grow well The absence of many of
hem. or the presence of any element
in excess, impairs the health of our
plants Just as the absence of either
roteln fats or carbohydrates, or their
resence in too great excess, impairs
the health of ourselves.
A study of the soil we have, and the
elements necessary to build it up to
perfect food for each plant for all
plants do not need just the same food -brinars
us to the ireneral subject of
ertilizers. which we will only speak
of generally this meek, and discuss
more comprehensively next Sunday.
What XMffrreat Fertilisers May Do.
It is well to begin with, that ws
nderstand the effect of the three main
chemical elements which wa apply to
our soil as fertilizers.
It is a quite common practice to buy
a ready-mixed fertiliser and give it to
all plants alike, and this may be dons
where you talk over your crop con
ditions with your seedman and he tells
you that this is the particular fertiliser
that your particular vegetable in your
your own particular garden needs.
But to buy a general fertiliser for
sandy and clay soil: for wet. sour,
soil and for light, "run out" soil: for
producing plant jrrowth and for forcine
much fruit and seeds: is exactly Ilk
taking the patent medicine that is
advertised as a cure-all for all the ills
that flesh is heir to, and which usually
stimulates for a little only to and in
a more diseased condition in ths end.
What ws want is to know just what
our plants need to keep healthy and
produce the peculiar result we wish
of each, leaf growth for lettuce and.
spinach, never allowing them to "go to
seed.- ana on ths other hand fruit
growth of our corn and tomatoes re
ducing ths stalk and leaf growth ta
stimulate the production of seed.
Just as a rood doctor does not writai
what Is called "shot-gun prescrip
tions'containing a little of various
useful medicines. In the elusive hop
that some one of them may be the one
needed by the patient and may car
the ill: so we must learn to be in
telligent enough to know better ths
to force vine and leaf growth when
'e want seeds or the tubers of potatoes.

Important part in the motion picture

given to ths publio will mean the
making of many pictures in Oregon.
Wells made a splendid choice when he
picked this screen veteran for the
Cayuse chief, for in ths early days of
Thomas H. Ince Sherry played In many
an Indian picture. Despite intervening
roles ranging from a drunken thug to
a philanthropic millionaire, already he
has absorbed some of the spirit of
Tiloukaikt. and is shrouded by a mantle
of taciturnity. One expects gutturals

Plants Are Like Children.
Our growing plants need five things:
food, water, air. light and warmth
Just as children do, and it is wonder
ful how they can adapt memseivea to
the conditions they find in the spot
where they are located, and the shifts
and contrivances to which they resort
in doing so and in protecting them
selves against an excess of any of
them. If plants were not able o
change themselves somewhat to suit
conditions, they would often die where
they now fight successfully, but they
need our help. .
Weter Most Necessary.
Nothing affects a plant like the
water supply because their food is
taken only in liquid form. Much as

STHEKIDAN, Or- May 31. (Special.)-
After many months of active service
on the front lines in France, John L.
OttIri?er aj-lved, home, -from France

the end of the plant's roots reach out
groping for food, and can only take it
from a mass where the chemical ola
ments are disolved and held in solu
tion by water. Plants digest atones
no more neadily than we do.
This is the reason that when plants
need water, such emphasis is laid upon
flfeir irrigation by small streams ' of
wair.g hat soak, radualbt inia
a light watering of ths tops with the
garden hose, as is all too commonly
practiced in our city.
Besides failing to get the water down
to the roots where it could be used
this practice is peculiarly vicious in
coaxing the roots to come to the sur
face after the water and so ruining
the root system and ths very life of
I the plant.
To turn ice-cold water from the hose
on a half-wilted plant in the middle
of a scorching hot day, as I have seen
done, is as injurious to the plant and
in much the same way as it would
be for a thirsty person nearly pros
trated by heat. Instead of drinking
cool water, to plunge at once into an
ice-cold bath. The amount of water
supplied to plants not only helps ths
growth of flowers and fruit, but it even
changes the real character of the
plants. "In a moist climate cactus
will put out leaf-like organs, gorse
will grow leaves Instead of thorns.
while, where ths water supply is very
scanty, the potato will put forth no
leaves, but will become' like cactus.'
Plants Mast Have Ala.
Yet plants will not grow on soli that
Is too wet. for they must have air,
and too much water suffocates ths
roots. By proper Irrigation, giving
just enough water and no more, both
the quantity and the quality of the
crop can ba improved, and where the
ground is naturally too wet we see
the necessity for careful drainage.
This is one very essential, but little
mentioned, reason why the soil must
be often stirred and kept light and

Yet ths soil must bs compacted next

air and light ara admitted and th
plant is thereby robbed of necessary
moisture.
Snnllarnt Is KssenrJnl
Plants especially need sunlight above
ground, but all varieties do not need
ths same amount of it. You will notice
that those which need the most light
can turn towards it, and this fact alone
should show where such plants should
be sown.
Plants have different ways of resist
ing the supply of light when they are
getting too much. They droop their
heads or close their leaves, which pre
vents evaporation, so you see when
we say a plant has "wilted" it means
that the plant knew enough to close
up its leaves so that so much surface
would not be exposed to the drying
heat of the sun. Xn the same way

In general it is stated that no vege
tables will grow without a certain
amount of direct sunlight. The United
States government bulletins tell us It
is useless to try to make our gardens
in too shaded locations and that the
un must shine directly on ths ground
for at least three hours every day to
raise any kind el a crop.

The best temperature for plants
generally Is S6 degrees of ths ordinary
thermometer. Thia. however, depends
upon the plant.
Usually, if the soil is hotter tnsn
that growth stops, and if ths beat is
kept up the plant dies, but our cool
nights revive our most aeucate plants
after our hottest days In our climate.
On the other hand if ths temperature
la lowered growth ceases before tne
freezing point Is reached. It this con
dition is continued for soma time the
slants are permanently stunted, though
not killed. This is the reason that we
do not plant our delicate vegetables
