The necessity of a special ses

watched legislatures come and
legislatures go, as well as their
conduct. The body can pass a
reconstruction measure in the
present limit of time, and when
it adjourns it can adjourn to a
later date, or adjourn sine die.

STATE LIME
Manv inquiries have been direct
cd to this office w ith reference to
the State Lime which is now man
ufactnred at Gold Hill, and how
this should be used.
State Lime is ordered through
Mr. R. L. Stevens, Warden, at
Salem, the Grange, or the Conn
V Agent. The cost at Gold Hill
is $1.75 per ton, and the freight
to this county is $3.00 to $8.2
making the ground lime stone
cost $4.75 to $5.00 per ton. Th
material comes in bulk in cji
loads of thirty to fifty tons, the
average being forty tons, as thir
ty-ton cars arc scarce.
This ground limestone diffe
from quick lime in that the car
bon is still present. One hundred
pounds of the ground lime ston
would make 5(5 pounds of quic
or burnt lime, and 74 pounds of
hvdrated or slacked lime. It i
therefore not as strong as eithc
oi me oincr tonus, tmt lias an
added advantage in that w he
the proper amount is applied to
the soil its beneficial effect will
continue three or four years.
The use of lime has increased
the yields of crops, and in prac
tical all the valley counties and
also the coast counties. In Mult
nomah County the yield of corn
was increased 100 per cent th
first year and 25 per cent the
seeoiui. i lie yield ot clover was
increased 25 per cent and an
to 10 bushel increase was noted
with oats. In general, the use of
ground lime stone is recommend
cd only for the leguminous crops
Increased yields of other crops
will be noted after the legum
nave dccn removed. lood rc
suits cannot be expected on soil
that arc very poorly drained.
The County Agent has mad
tests of soils in a number of sec
tions of the county, including
IJeaverton, Hillsboro, Corneliu
and Forest Grove, and has found
that on the average about tw
Ions of the ground limestone pe
acre will be required.
Where less than car lots are
desired, it is advisable that
number co-operate in each com
munity and order a car direct, or
make your wants known to the
nearest Grange or to the County
Agent.

NEW SMUT TREATMENT
During the past two seasons in
Washington County there has
been considerable evidence of
smut in grain despite the fact
that practically all the farmers
are treating their grain with citb
Formalin or blue Vitrol, A num
ber of tests have been made with
these solutions, and it has been
found that Formalin is giving
better results, a smaller per cent
of smut being present after its
use. A new use of the Formalin
is now being practiced which
promises to give better results
than the former methods of dip
ping. The new method Is: To
one pint of Formalin add one
pint of water, and placing this in
the band snraver, spray lightl
the iirain as it is being shoveled
over so that one quartof mixture
covers 40 or 50 bushels. With
oats the grain is piled up and
covered with sacks for about foil
hours: sacks are then removed
and the grain is ready for plant
imr. With wheat, the sacks
should not be allowed to remain
over the grain more than a few
minutes. In using this method
care nuist be taken that all th
smut balls are removed prior to
treatment with the fanning mill
The advantages of this method
are that the irrain is not soaked
up thereby, causing it to swell
and is much easier handled, so
small amount of moisture being
present that it is hardly noticcn
iile: then practically all the smut
is killed as shown by tests mad
last year. In these tests gram
untreated showed 22 per cent of
smut; where treated with bin
vitrol 15 per cent smut present
and where l lis new memon oi
Formalin treatment, or Haskell
method was used, no sniiit show
d up in the field.
