Paul Johnson and wife of Columbus, Ohio. These lots are numbered 7 and 8 of the plat recently filed of the old Bartow place, corner Woolen and Manzanita streets, and the price realized for the two lots was $1,250. Mr. and ?Tvs. Johnson spent part of two summers in Ashland and fell In love with this section, and were much impressed with the climate, scenery and other natural advantages. While here Mr. Johnson often admired the view from these lots, which are at the highest point of the Scenic Drive and cannot be obstructed, and expressed a wish that when his evangelistic work was finished he might have a bungalow there and make it his per manent home. Mr. Bartow has some California parties who are figuring on purchas ing two more of these lots. A Good Advertiser Can Sell Good Property Any Time, Anywhere He must keep his ad at work.

Waakiastoa at, CHICAGO Few of the people of Ashland really know the wonderful scenic beauties that we of Ashland have within our midst. Ashland is to be a big water ing resort. As sugh it will bring a large number of people who will come only to look at and enjoy what they can. Anyone who has taken the trip up to Mount Ashland can vouch for its beauty and scenic qualities. Within a half day's walk one can be on the snow line of a beautiful mountain from which one can gain a view over the surrounding country that cannot be surpassed. As one who has been in practically every nook and corner of southern Oregon, the writer can truthfully say that Ashland creek canyon beats anything in this section of the country for its shady retreats and cool haunts, that are built espec ially to shelter a picnic party from the hot sun of summer, or to furnish a quiet place for a business man's Sunday rest. The usual class of people who spend their time at watering resorts are people that are enthusiastic mountain climbers, hunters, lovers of scenery, etc. We have all these re quirements within fifteen miles of the city limits. But we must do our part From Long's cabin the state has con structed several miles of fine road which extends to the ridge. This road Is a fine wide road that is grad ed to an easy slope. It would be an Ideal highway for autos. Below Long's cabin to Ashland there Is seven miles of miserable, rutty, rocky road that cars cannot ne gotiate safely. This means that In order to get to the good road built by the state, the wagons or cars must clamber over the mud holes, rocks and narrow ways. This fast absolute ly renders the state road useless What we must do is to see that the road up the canyon be fixed properly for autos and buggies. This will make Mount Ashland accessible to the large number of people that are eager to climb its slopes. Ashlan Is just waking up to a real ization of the wonderful advantages Bhe possesses. Let's boost. ' The Tidings Is on sale at Foley's trng store, 17 East Main street. When the people can be made to understand that It actually costs more in time and money to travel over a poor road than it does to travel over a good one, they will be less inclined to begrudge the expense , of . good roads; and what Is more Important still, will be willing and anxious to put the business of road making Into the hands of Intelligent men who un demand the business. Poor roads are the expensive things that curse country district. Make it "Ashland the Beautiful. Talent Experiment Station Appreciated In a recent issue of your paper ap peared a valuable and interesting ar ticle by Professor F. C. Reimer, di rector of the Southern Oregon Ex periment Station, Talent, Ore., call ing attention to the elaborate series of fertilizer experiments that the sta tion has been conducting during the past three years and giving special mention of recent tests on alfalfa where applications of materials con taining sulphur, either alone or in combination with recognized plant feed, gave marked increase in yield. The writer read the article with much interest not only for the in formation therein but also because he has been rather closely in touch with the work of the station under Professor Reimer's regime and appre ciates that the fertilizer work is only one of the many lines of valuable re search work in progress at that the station that will develop results of immense importance to the valley. At the same time many of our farm ers perhaps do not realize the dollar- and-cents value to themselves of the experiment station work, and it is with the hope of emphasizing the value of the fertilizer tests that the writer would like to make some addi tional comment on the article in question. In no respect, howeverT should this comment be taken as disparagement of the tests described, which the writer has seen and which seem to be the only field trials ever made on alfalfa with sulphur and phosphorus-sulphur combinations. Recent experiments by French and German agricultural scientists along lines somewhat parallel to those fol lowed by Professor Reimer but with different crops are confirmatory so far as the results are comparable. In 1910 experiments reported in tho Deutsche Landwirthechaftllche Presse demonstrated the value of sulphur as an agent in checking potato diseases like scab and and also showed that it increased the yield of potatoes and mangolds. Its value was greatest when used in combination with com mercial pplant food. The following year experiments were reported in the Journal d'Agri culture Pratique involving the use of sulphur in combination with phos phorus, potash and nitrogen on beets and potatoes. The amounts of buI phur used varied from 225 to 450 pounds per acre. These trials were also in line with the local trials in showing an increased yield in almost every instance. After these experiments Boullan- ger and Dugardin made an elaborate series of parallel tests involving the use of sulphur and sulphur combina tions on strellized and unsterilized soil. The yield on sterilized soil was very much less. This led the experi menters to conclude that sulphur acts as a bacterial stimulant rather than as a plant food. Their conclusion was given to the French Academy of Sciences in the following words: "The fertilizing value of sulphur is due to the Influence it exerts on the ammonifying bacteria as well as on the nitrifying micro-organisms. In the presence of sulphur the plant finds larger quantities of directly as similable ammonium salts, and this favorable modification of nitrogenous plant food is followed by important Increases in crops analageous to those following the use of ammonium sul phate. Nevertheless, it is a matter of importance to be borne in mind that the ammonia thus formed by the bacteria is produced exclusively from the nitrogenous substances in the soil and that the addition of or ganic nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil Is necessary in order to counter balance the greater withdrawal of ni trogen by the plants." Very recent and complete chemical analyses of various farm crops, in cluding alfalfa, by both the Ohio and Wisconsin experiment stations, con firm Professor Reimer's statement that the sulphur content of most crops Is much higher than was formerly supposed. This fact was brought out by improved methods of analysis. Crops containing large amounts of protein, like alfalfa, contain more sulphur than crops with a low pro tein content, like wheat and corn. Some sulphur is present in all soils and some sulphur is present in all rain water. Dr. Hopkins states in this connection that long-continued investigations at Hothamstead, Eng land (oldest agricultural experiment station in the world), and elsewhere show that an average-rainfall brings to the soil about seven pounds of sul phur per acre per annum, or one pound more than would be required for a 100-bushel crop of corn. And, further, that in addition to the sul phur in the soil and that brought to the soil by rain there is an unknown amount of sulphur absorbed by the soil directly from the atmosphere. On this subject t,he Ohio Experiment Sta tion states: "For cereal crops the supply of sulphur in the soil, together with that added by the rain, is amply sufficient, but for heavy yields of leguminous plants, like alfalfa, re course to other supplies would seem necessary. When superphosphate is used as a carrier of phosphorus it also supplies sulphur. One hundred pounds of 14 per cent superphosphate contains 11 pounds of sulphur." The fact that the soils of the Rogue River Valley, like most of the soils of the Pacific coast region, are In clined to be low in phosphorus, par ticularly when long cropped in grain, indicates that perhaps the most rapid method of restoring and increasing fertility would be the growing of le guminous crops, for their nitrogen gathering ability, and the addition of phosphorus and sulphur in some read ily available form, like superphos phate. It is particularly worth not ing that in buying superphosphate the farmer pays only for the phos phorus therein and receives free the sulphur and lime, which superphos phate also contains, as stated in Pro fessor Reimer's article.
