MARSHFIELD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL .10, J007. r. m f r r t OUTLINES THE WORK Secretary Wilson Tells What De partment of Agriculture has Been Doing. DENATURED ALCOHOL Is Referred to, mid Other Brandies of the Work Are Touched Upon. Pittsburg, Pa., April 29. Some In teresting facts concerning the work of the department of agriculture were given out by Secretary Wilson in his address before the Amorlcus club. Regarding denatured alcohol the secretary said: "No more coal Is being made, our wood fuel Is getting scarce, and the ! supply of mineral oils will some day cease. It Is high time we were look ing about for sources of light, heat and power. Other countries are do ing this. Alcohol meets the require ments, and starchy plants yield alco hol. One of our explorers last year found the Siberians at Tomsk grow ing a large variety of potato for the alcohol It yields. He brought back half a ton of them, which will be distributed this spring among the ex periment stations. The southern cas sava, yams and sweet potatoes will yield alcohol, as will the sugar beet. Corncobs will give 11 gallons of al cohol to the ton, and sweet corn stalks 7. Many refuse plants will be used, and much unmarketable fruit and vegetable matter. The farm Is ready to supply heat, light and power when other sources fall. Many lo calities In the west suffer for fuel In tho winter when storms are severe or cars are scarce. "We have legislation to permit the making of alcohol without tho pay ment of taxes when mixed with some thing to prevent Its use as a bever age wood alcohol, perhaps. The time is surely coming when the peo ple remote from wood, coal or oil will arrange to grow plants rich In starch for their supply of heat, light and power. The present inquiry is along the line of economic produc tion, as In all new enterprises.

The department of agriculture Is experi menting along this line, and also with regard to new dovlces for burn ing this new fuel." practical application as widely as we. Now, however, a research station Is being established near Washington. Temperature, moisture and the air at great heights will be studied. The relations of the magnetism of the earth, the temperature of the soil, and the motions of the earth will all have been shown to have a more or less Intimate connection with me teorology. When all these factors are well under observation, better forecasts will be the result." Handling Fruit. Secretary Wilson in regard to the handling of fruit said: "As agriculture develops and be comes systemlzed the relations be tween the farmer and the man In the city will become more intimate. Thousands of tons of produce are grown which must be handled more quickly, sent Into our city markets, and disposed of. Thus have devel oped the great problems connected with transportation, storage, and the general handling of perishable pro ducts, such as fruits, vegetables, etc. "On the Pacific coast 30,000 car loads of oranges are produced every year, and most of these must be sent across the continent to be distributed In our eastern markets. Hundreds and thousands of carloads of these fruits are destroyed through Im proper handling, and hundreds and thousands of other perishable fruits, such as peaches and apples, are sim ilarly lost through bad methods of handling. The department is study ing these questions and pointing out to the grower how he may so Improve his methods as to prevent his losses, pointing out to the packer how he may handle the fruit and perishable products so as to help the grower, nnd pointing out to the transporta tion companies how they may con duct their business to the end of placing the goods in the hands of the ronsumer'ln good condition. Besides this, the department Is pushing In vestigations with a view of placing those choice fruits across the water in the markets of our European neighbors. Special methods must be devised for handling and shipping these long distances. We have shown how peaches may be shipped from the southern states and placed on the Liverpool and London markets as fresh as when they were taken from the trees. Such fruits have yielded handsome profits, and open tho way for tho clearing of our mar kets In times of overproduction."

ADVERTISING OF OREGON. Portland, Ore., April 29. The fruit crop of Oregon during the com ing season promises to be especially large, and as a result of the freezing weather in the middle west, the mar ket will be active and prices high, bringing Oregon's fruit growing ca pabilities to the front In a most force ful way. Portland, during the month of April, will exceed by more than $5,000,000 the building record of any other month in the history of the city. Oregon has again been honored through the appointment of Isaac A. Manning, who has been active In the work of the Portland Commercial club and Oregon Development League in advertising Oregon. Mr. Manning goes to Cartagena, Colombia, South America, and he will not overlook an opportunity to extend the trade of this state. The Portland Business Men's Ex cursion, which will be most thor oughly representative of the best business interests of the metropolis, will make stops at 33 Oregon and 5 Idaho cities and towns, and consume six days. They leave Monday, May 6, at 8:30 a. m., and return the fol lowing Sunday morning. A general meeting of the Oregon Development League is being dis cussed for some time in June, the ex act date not yet decided upon, at which a plan will be discussed and decided upon that will give to the state of Oregon every possible ad vantage that can accrue through the colonist rates which will begin Sep tember 1st and close October 31st.
