During this week, set out tomatoes,
plant cucumbers, lima beans, sweet
corn, pumpkins, squash, lettuce and,,
radishes.
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."

love tended to largeness of soul, while
the perverted kind tended to mean

become smaller and smaller until ha

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

that "hot all shoes would fit any one

printed on genuine India paper, in the entire world will have been sold
A NEW VOLUME
THE publishers of The Encyclopaedia Britannica
announce that they have made arrangements
for the issue, as soon after the end of the war as
possible, of a new volume, containing a full and
authoritative history of the war.
The new volume will be written by scholars
and experts of the same high character as those
who wrote for the Britannica itself, and by many
of its own contributors. It will be absolutely im
partial, excluding all partisan feeling and preju
dice. It will contain
1. A Judicial account of the real causes of
the war, the progress of the struggle, and the
results all over the world : with maps, as neces
sary, to show changes in boundaries.
2. The lives of the new leaders, whether civil,
military or naval, in the belligerent countries.
8. The results of the war outside the sphere
of fighting, the progress of surgery, the pre
vention ofcontagious disease, the new scientific
discoveries, etc.
The new volume will bridge the gap between
the days of peace before and after the war. It will
be printed and bound to match the Britannica and.
the publishers guarantee that no matter how
difficult 'and costly the supplementary volume
mav be from the editorial point of view, the price
of It to all who purchase the Britannica during
the present sale will not be more than that of a
corresponding volume of the Britannica.

After Saturday, May 26th, you will NEVER be able to buy a set for any price.
NOW you can have the entire 29 volumes to use and profit by while you pay for them.
After next Saturday you can NEVER have this work to own and use no matter how much
you want it or need the knowledge it contains. Consider the Britannica as an investment for
an investment it is an investment that will pay dividends in the exact proportion that you use
it. The more you use the Britannica the larger dividends it will pay you. Dividends of increased
knowledge, increased earning capacity, increased enjoyment, appreciation and understanding
of everything you do, see, use, read or come in contact with.
Think what the Britannica in your home will mean in the future. Think what a help it will

Unless you order on or before next Saturday, May 26th, you will be too late.
Unless you order on or before May 26th you will never own the Britannica printed
on India paper. Unless you order on or before May 26th you will be depriving
yourself and your family of the many advantages of this great library of the
world's knowledge in its most beautiful, most popular and most usable form. The
end of the sale may come before May 26th. Order NOW and be on the safe side.

orders. This gives you the opportunity to examine sets, select the binding you prefer, and decide intelligently
whether or not you want to own the Britannica.

These final announcements of the close of this great sale are getting shorter every day just
as the last sets on hand are getting fewer every day. This sale must end because no more sets
of the Britannica can be printed on genuine India paper because no more flax from Belgium,
Germany or Ireland or hemp from Russia, two necessary raw materials for making genuine
India paper, can be secured. You know the whole story. It has been told over and over again.
It is not necessary to say more. It's a case of NOW or NEVER.
