Iiundreds of school children and
other patriotic Oregonians mado pos
sible a second shipment of 850
rounds of dried foxglove or digitalis
from the Oregon Agricultural college
to the federal laboratory at the Uni
versity ofMlnncstota, where it will
lie Into tincture of digitalis for the
uso of the army and navy. Dean
.fdolph Zleflc of the 0. A. C. school
of pharmacy made the shipment.
The European supply of thin dru:-?
liavlng been cut off by the war, an
rppeal was mads the first of the
year to the people of Oregon to pics
end dry this plant which grows lux
uriantly in the western part of the
state. A first shipment of more than
SOO pounds was made In May. Thi3
cecond shipment Is sufficient to pro
duce nearly 010,00,000 does of the
incture, which Increase the force a:id
the fullness of tiie pulse and raises
tirterlal pressure and is almost a
specific for the rany cases of heart
trouble and shock In warfare.
While the dried leaves were sent
to the college from many points, the
Hchool children of Astoria gathered
approximately SO per cent of the to
tal shipment. It was purely patrio
tic service rendered the government,
the pickers not only contributing
their time to the work, but standing
the expense of shipment to the col
lege. The government pays the trans
portation to the University of. Minn
60ta, from which point the tincture
is sent out to army cantonments, to
Europe and anywhere It Is needed.
While the supply now on hand Is
sufficient to meet needs of the gov
ernment for some time to come, the
pickers are urged to continue with
the good work. The supply must not
1 e allowed to become exhausted.

How To
Develop
Good Teeth
YOUR teeth need
exercise daily. By
masticating the hard
and rougher sort of
food they can best be
ktpt In condition. Hard crust
and other coarse and fibrous
foods which require thorough
chewing before thoy can bo
wallowed, are especially
good, nol anla for chlldrtm
but for adult alto. It helps to
produce a nood circulation of
blood and Inchlldrcndevclops
the muscles and expands tho
laws, so thatroom is provided
for the Incoming larger teeth.
Children should be allowed to
eat only at regular hours. A
child should be taunht to chew
his food very thoroughly.
Proper training and care of
the tooth In childhood estab
lish habits they will appreciate
In after years. A few minutes
lonatr with the tooth-brush
each morning and nlght-a
' visit to a good dentist at In
tervals will save lots of ton
ntentarvpaln "d vlol?P,0I
health which willsurely follow
neglect of the mouth and

Agticultual War Work
When tho war trade board recently
announced the rovocatlon of all out
standing licenses for the Importation
cf Egyptian cotton and that Importa
tion of only 80,000 bales of long
staple Egyptian cotton will bo al
lowed during 1918, attention was
called to the Increase In the produc
tion of Egyptian cotton In the Irri
gated lands of Arizona and neighbor
ing states. The production In 1918
ot this American grown Egyptian cot
ton, according to the specialists of
the U. S. department of agriculture,
probably will be Untween 40,000 and
50,000 bales.
A staff of 40 field men of the de
partment of agriculture, under the
direction of eight leaders, Is conduct
ing a campaign for the control of
r.muts and other preventable cereal
diseases In the northern and western
states. The field men work In con
junction with state agencies, county
tgents, and other farm advisers In
conducting seed treatment demon
strations before farmers' organiza
tions, movable schools, county and
ttwnship high schools and city organ
izations. Emphasis Is placed on the
treatment of preventable smuts of
wheat, oat3, barley, rye and grain
sorghums. The work thus far con
ducted In the territory mentioned
probably has resulted in the treat
ment of 50 per cent of all seed wheat,
oats and barley sown. This means
a probable saving, according to the
department, of not less than 10,000,
000 bushels ot wheat. 25,000,000
l-ushels of oats, and 4,000,000 bush
els of barley.
Although definite figures are not
yet obtainable, the animal husbandry
division of the bureau of animal hus
bandry is assured that the campaign
to. Increase pork production at least
15 per cent over last year, has been
successful. According to reports,
practically every state lias done its
part In obtaining this increase, and
some have more than made up their
c.uota. Data gathered by the depart
ment of agriculture show' that on
April 1 brood sows on the farms
in the U. S. had increased 9V per
cent over the' number on the same
date the previous year. Weather con
ditions during March and April were
very favorable over almost the entire
hog producing country, with the re
sult that there was a larger percent
age of piss raised than has been the
case for many years past.

CUTTING SPRITE, JOB
OF VAST MAGXITUDE
To develop varieties of wheat that
will resist black or stem rust the
department of agriculture Is working
in co-operat'.on with the state experi
ment stations in Minnesota, Kansa3,
Tennessee and Iowa. Rust resistant
nrum wheats and other resistant var
ieties are being crossed on varieties
known chiefly for their milling and
tread making qualities to obtain rust
resisting strains of good milling qual
ity. Extensive milling and baking
experiments have been made with a
r umber of these hybrids.
In accordance with the policy to
eliminate all possible waste the an
imal husbandry division of the de
partment of agriculture Is conduct
ins an Investigation In the utiliza
tion of garbage as a feed for hogs.
Alva Wilson, formerly of the Ne
I raska agricultural college, has been
employed by the department to visit
cities In all parts of the country to
Investigate the ways In -which gar
bage is disposed of, what the cost of
such disposal is, how many clfies are
making use of garbage as feed for
hogs, and the success of this plan.
There is no doubt, officials of the
animal husbandry division say, that d
brge amount of valuable hog -feed
is contained in garbage and In far too
many cities It is not only wasted but
large sums of money are being spent
In Its disposal.
Red Cross workrooms have been
i-f great assistance to home demon
stration agents as offering places
where large groups of women may be
leached and Interested In special food
saving, In several towns the agent
prepares the noon lunch once a week
for the workers. This serves to dem
onstrate good conservation recipes.
Suppers for the benefit of th9 Red
Cross have been given successfully
In many places under the agents. Men
as well as women are thus Interested
In the possibilities of war cooking.

CceU & Bowac, pimeM. tf. J.
When it Is realized that the race
for airplane spruce involves increas
ing tho logging operation of west
ern Washington and western Oregon
frcm 20 to 50 per cent over previous
jears, some notion can be conceived
of the magnitude of the program.
Last year the lumber cut of wesi
;rn Oregon and Washington was 6.
r.00, 000,000 feet, nearly equal 'to the
biggest year In the Pacific northwest
limber history. Of this, less than 5
nor cent wa3 spruce only 220,000,
000 and that of spruce only about
one-tenth was airplane stock, says
ti.e Oregon Voter.
Now the program is to get as muci
airplane spruce out every month as
was slripped during the whole of
la;t -year or 30,000,000 fe3t a
month Instead of 30,000,000 a year.
If all till' other timber in the
fpruce forests was cut with the
r;ruce, B3 Is the case In commercial
loRsring. it would be necessary to log
! 1,000,000,000 test of timber In 1919
in the spruce districts alone. This
ould be more than twice as much
ii the total lumber output of west
ern Oregon and western Washington
in the biggest year In history.
Colonel Brice P. Disque, head of
l!r spruce production division, is au
thority for the 14,000,000,000 esti
mate, and for the statement that it
io obviously an Impossibility to carry
out so vast a program. Hence he has
lesorted to what is known as selec
tive logging. In many spruce loi
rs ts. only the spruce will lie cut,
v.Mch means taking only about one
t.-ee in three , or one In five or one
m ten.
Even this selective logging is a
siupenduous program.
Only one- tenth to one-third of a
fine spruce tree Is airplane stock.
The heart is not the good part of
tiie spruce. It Is full of liftle knot3
Outside the heart, more than half
the thickness of the tree usually con
tains knots the remnants of branch
vz that died as the tree grew and
vere covered with new growth.
Usually only the outside of the
tree Is clear from these knots. Hence
It. is the outside that Is sawed off
for airplane stock. The balance of
the' tree is used for box lumber or
to be ground into pulp for the paper
r.iills.
Not all spruce trees contain alr
llnne stock. The tidewater spruce
celebrated for its size, usually con
tains no lumber fit for airplanes. It
is too knotty. The airplane spruce
is a noble variety known as the Sitka
spruce, which grows on the projected
hillside near tho ocean. Often It Is
tight or nine feet through the trunk.
Sly feet through Is an ordinary size
for a log.
Tven the Sitka spruce trees are
not all sufficiently perfect to yield a
tnir percentage of airplane stock.
Dunlon growths, pitch pockets and
ether defects spoil many of them.
The selection of the perfect trees is
a science in Itself. Experts are on
the Job in the forests now, marking
the trees.

There have been rumors regarding
aircraft affairs of curtailed output,
of failure of the Liberty motor, of
fabulous profits being made and of
tvery possible disaster and phenom
enal success one might Imagine.
As to aircraft affairs. Ray Sher
man, editor of Motor World, says:
"We have been somewhat mislead by
over-optimistic statements a year
ago. There may have been delays in
the rapidly put together industrial
machine that was to turn out air
craft, but when one gets down to tho
facts one finds that the Liberty motor
is a success and not a failure and
that the aircraft production Is far
ther along than It was believed that
America could be at this time.
"One thing should be remembered
in connection with American Indus
try: America Is a big production
country, which means that millions
of dollars and; weeks of time are
spent in tooling up and getting ready,
but once her plants get ready, they
are In position to turn out things at
a rate, of which Europe never
dreamed.
"Some of the delay in aircraft pro
duction may be duo to Incompetence
and confusion because of the speed
necessary, but much of It Is due to
tooling up and could not have been
avoided with the mcst efficient or
ganization." "The Liberty motor,'' said Al
Reeves, executive secretary ot the
Automobile chamber of commerce, at
the dealers' meeting, "Is admitted by
France, England and Italy to be the
most perfect and wonderful motor
ever produced. It Is the work of
the best engineers In this country
and they are building airplanes now
with three of these motors Inthem
which will carry the message to Ber
lin we have for bo long wanted to
Bend.
"As to automobile factories, some
of them are engaged almost entirely
In war work. Some have erected
large extensions In order to take
care of government contracts and
icgular work, too, so far as labor and
materials permit. The factories have
taken all the government Work that
is available and have room for more
when ready.
"As to materials, the situation has
become indefinite. Officials have
staled that the motor car factories
can have hut little steel. On the
other hand, the steel people have
laid that, with a budget of govern
ment needs in hand, it will be impos
sible to do good service to all In sup
plying steel, hut the budget has not
been forthcoming, so the steel ques
tion Is unsettled."
ORFGOX SHOULD USE
CHF.AI (;kik of coal
Ceorge T. Daiton', special repro
Fintatlve of the federal trade com
mission, who has just arrived In
Portland to make inquiries concern
ing the fuel situation in Oregon, atat
xi that Oregonians should accept
cheaper grades ot coal when they
cannot secure early delivery of the
best known grades.
"Conditions are such that ffeople
of the northwest will find !t almost
Impossible to secure delivery of many
of the standard brands of coal," he
said. "Although the bituminous coal
producticn is the greatest in the na
tion's history, the demands for fuel
ijj unprecedented due to war activi
ties. "As a result the best coal cannot
be milled in sufficient quantities to
meet the demand. In Washington
i-tate, for example, Investigations just
completed show that people have
ordered coal early, but many will
net secure deliveries until this win
ter because they have insisted upon
specified brands of coal. The best
plan is to secure fuel now and take
no chances on shortage and fuel ra
tions later."
Dalton and Fuel Administrator
Holmes have held several conferences
concerning the Oregon situation. T)al
tcn states that Oregonians are among
the foremost In America to respond
to the government's request for ear
ly fuel storage.
The young man of twenty-one used
to look forward to casting his first
vote. Now he anticipates a niarcti
and a battle.
Now Is the time to eat and to pr
serve home grown products. Perish
able fruits are coming on the market,
the gardens are malting available dally
supplies of food that will take the
place of the commercial canned ar
tides that are needed for shipment
abroad. Sugar has been made avail
able for home canning purposes and
the supply is good at the present time.
The home garden and the canning of
Its products means more this year
than it ever did before beoause it will
play a very important part in keeping
the fighting forces supplied with the
kind of food they need atthe time
they need It most.
America expects every civilian to
do his or her duty in the game spirit
as she expects each soldier when the
command comes, "TO GO OVER THE
TOP" without turning to seo If hit
neighbor had gone first.
We have often quoted that eld
verse, "Gather your roses while ye
may," and we can well now change It
to "gather your vegetables," for by so
doing we can accomplish great good.
"We stand behind our boys in
France and we will not call It a sacri
fice but a privilege to do our bit to
ward feeding them Over There."
Emma V. MlUiVen.
Conserve, reserve and preserve all
of these fine fruits and vegetables
that are now within your reach: you
will need them the coming winter.
F.y eating more perishables here at
home we may save others from per
ishing "Over There."
The farm as well as the front needs
