For a bulletin that will advise as to proper rotation of garden products In order to keep the ground constantly working, send to the Oregon Agricul tural college and ask for the manual prepared by Professor A. G. B. Bou quet, head of vegetable gardening. It is free. Observing that because of the late spring much plowing is under way. Professor H. D. Scudder, chief in soils and farm management at the O. A. C, has given pertinent advice. Late Soil Preparation. "Owing to the prolonged wet season, the ground is very compact, and plow ing alone, except on the sandy loams, will not make a good seed bed or one that will hold moisture well. Disking before plowing is therefore unusually Important this year. It is particularly essential on ail sod lands, many turned for the first time in years, or on land having last year's heavy stubble or a heavy growth of weeds and grass or a green manuring crop, also on all lands following the use of barnyard manure. Under all of these conditions, if the double-disking preceding plowing is not done, there is very great danger of drying out of the seed bed during the early summer, owing to the great late ness of the present season. "Medium deep plowing seven inches is very desirable this season. Shallow plowing, so common in western Oregon, Is especially when work is being rushed very dangerous, under present conditions already described, since shallow seed beds will dry out quickly in the heat of early summer now so close at hand. "Much of the land Is orennolst and compact, and a hard, cloddy seed bed will result unless harrowing is done very promptly after the furrow Is turned. A cloddy seed bed Is special ly undesirable for late seeding, and. ones formed. Is very difficult to rem edy by further tillage. "To complete the foundation work in preparation of a seed bed , that will carry the crop through the summer on all but the sandy- loams or high humus soils, a disking or double-disking will be desirable in helping to insure moisthre conservation, and also in making a good cultivation bed for till age. Where manures or green manures have been applied, this disking after plowing will help to firm down the fur row slice, getting rid of air spaces and do away with the use pt the roller. It will permit the fullest germination and stand from the costly seed. "Further harrowing, planking, roll ing with the pulserlzer, etc., will de pend on the cloddiness of the ground or the need for securing a very well pulverized and mora compact seed bed for smaller seds, etc. "The best investment many west ern Oregon farmers can make this year is a first-class two-row six or eight shovel sulky cultivator. Early culti vation of row crops should, of course. -be done with the harrow or Hallock type we-ider. Two or three cultiva tions of this kind over potatoes and corn are possible during May and June. Corn can be cultivated with a Hallock weeder until it is a foot high. These cultivations are very rapid and cheap and effective on small weeds and in restoring the mulch after rains. The row cultivator should then be used three to five times, depending upon soil moisture and weed conditions. being run four to five Inches deep the first two times, and three Inches there after. The great object of the cultl vation, of course, is weed destruction moisture conservation and making plant food available. On lata clover seedlngs, particularly on the looser seed beds, several rollings may prove desirable." Afternoon report of preceding day.

One who nursed this kind would become smaller and smaller until ha rattled all around even la the smallest shoe. Dr. BQurvln Speaks. The congrega tion of the old time Taylor street M, E. church, now worshipping in the Circle theatre, listened to Dr. Marvin upon the topic of the "Good Samari tan," at the regular morning services yesterday. A number of soldier boys were present and joined heartily in the singing of "America" and other songs. The need of extending the helping hand to the other fellow was emphasized, be the sufferer whoever he may, and no matter what the garb of the recipient or the one who shoulj be the donor. Too many even of the preachers are too particular about forms, and then overlook the practical. asserted Dr. Marvin. All should be on the lookout lest the opportunity to do good be let to slip, he said. American Xlar Raised. The hoist ing of a large American flag was the especial feature at the United Evan gelical church at trfe corner of Poplar and East Sixteenth streets yesterday. A large number of the people of the community were present and took part' in tne ceremonies, which were simple Dut impressive. The pastor. Rev. E. J. Goode, made a short address, and the singing of such patriotic songs as "America" and "The Star-Spangled manner- waa participated In by all. The pastor declared that "Old Glorv" now stood for the liberty of the entire world. Instead of Just for the United btates, as it once did. Smile Doss Most. "God can make music out of the humblest life," said Dr. Calvin B. Waller, in his address at the Wnite Temple Sunday on "The Music of Life." A smile and a song will go farther toward blessing the world than all the pious looks extant, notwithstanding many views to the contrary, was the tend 'of his theme. He declared we were partners with the Master Musician in bringing out the soul's harp strings. Dont Xook for Faults. "Do some thing for the kingdom . of God, and don't look for faults 'in others," said Dr. E. P. Lawrence, in speaking to his congregation at the Kcnilworth Presbyterian church in his Sunday morning sermon. "Don't try to exploit the failures of those who are at vari ance with yourself, but look for the good in them, remembering that God works through different types," were thoughts emphasized by him. "We are not all made up alike," he declared, there being people of various natures in each community, some doing work along one line and some alone another All have their places, and each should welcome the efforts the other is mak ing Instead of offering adverse criti cism." . Shoes of AU Kinds. "Fitting Shoes," was the subject of the sermon delivered by Rev. C. F. Meier at the Highland Baptist church at the morning service. The pastor advised his hearers that there were all sizes and kinds of shoes in existence, and that "hot all shoes would fit any one person, but there was generally a plenty that would fit each individual, 1 and if any of those presented fitted any heaver the listener should put It on : and wear it.
