She femembered them all so well and the old chestnut trees, too. There was a bicycle right-of-way,' a side path which used to run along in front of her old home. , Miss Pickford still takes keen enjoyment out of a ride. on a bi cycle. - She has one at- her home in California, and when she ts not busy, both she and Doug, go for a spin on the beautiful roads by way of diversion from motoring and for the healthful exercise in Which" both hold such faith. H Bicycle Invaluable for a Real Vacation Railroads or the automobile may provide speedier transportation, but not if you are going, on a real vacation.' h ; That ia the advice of Prof. Ed win S. Todd, head of the school of commerce at Miami University and bicyclist extraordinary. J Dr. Todd probably has traveled . j ag i. many miles on a bicycle as any man in the country, at least he believes so. During the last 10 years he has spent a large portion of each summer pedaling his way over the country and has covered ' many thousand miles, ' i : . His longest, trip probably was that from Maine to Ohio, which he made several years ago, but he also- has gone as far south as Ten nessee and made one extended trip along the ' Canadian border, riding his bicycle all the way.' : Woman Rides 44,000 ; Miles on Bicycle When, "safety" bicycles were at the height of their popularity. Miss Minnie . Cross .of. Woodland, CalM took to the wheel and has been true to It, ever since. She has used it for shopping and for runs on country roads, and she is still as great a devotee of the art of using a bicycle as she was 24 years ago. During the years that she has been riding Miss Cross figures che has ridden 44,000 miles. This is about equal to 14 transcontinen tal trips, or nearly twice around the globe.

GobdriclT Stfvertown 3iwi The bicycle is without doubt one of the most useful of all In ventions handed down during re cent decades. It is the poor man's horse as well as the millionaire's; Both need it, both use it. The bi cycle the twowheeled steed will always be used. . No one -can readily afford to be without a bicycle. The price of the average wheel today is one third the amount that early en thusiasts paid for a bicycle. The bicycle is one of the very few com modities of every-day life that is much cheaper than what it was 25 or 30 years ago. - The steady improvement of 'the roads all over the country offers wonderful opportunities for long distance outings and the use of the bicycle for this purpose is fast coming into favor again. It is ideal for vacation tours when one wants to go, stop when desired, and stay as long as you want. Cycling is recognized as, the easiest and cheapest way of renew ing health. " Seven star Ice skaters, who were among the big winners in Chicago and national championship ice tournaments last winter, now have turned to the humble bicycle rac ing sport.' They are Harry Kas key Francis. Allen, Eddie Murphy, Robert Reed and others. Bicycling Is in a class by itself. It affords unusual economy In spite of the fact, that it. greatly ex tends the horizon of life for every devotee. The bicycle is an aid to healthful exercise and it provides the cheapest form of personal transportation known. With a bi cycle a person enjpj's advantages of economy, utility, sport, pleas ure, exercise, " convenience, inde pendence and other benefits. England; the home of the bicy cle, is having a boom i in cycle racing and in long distance touring awheel. It is estimated that there are at least 4.000,000 bicycles on city streets and country roads every week-end. ! For rush deliveries and for all deliveries of small, light parcels, nothing can compete with a boy on a bicycle in quickness or low cost per unit. It is the spare horse of the farm. It brings the school,. fhe neighbors and the town with in easy reach. For getting mail, rushing repair parts for machin ery, and running errands it Is In class by itself. And it promotes life In the open. , There are 1.206,500 bicycles in Belgium, or one to every fifth per son, according to the latest of ficial compilation of these ve hicles.

Results indicate mat there was little If any change in the compo sition of the hops in the drying. There was evidently little if any change in the amounts of tannin and wax. An examination show ed that the- difference in the aroma ot air dried and these kiln dried samples was hardly percep tible. Only a small amount of volatile oil had been lost in the drying, j 1 ' f Right ricking Time Changes which take place in the chemical composition in ripening are of importance in production. It seems that some of the constit uents of the hop cone are closely related, and it was considered pos sible that changes take place in the'ripening peribdin which. one constituent passes over Into the form of another. It is important that hops be picked at the degree of ripeness when they possess a maximum commercial value. Many of the consumers of haps, regardless of their real values." insisted" that they should be picked somewhat green, while others preferred them gathered only when the cones were fully ripened. These differ ent demands confused the growers in their desire to produce a high quality satisfactory to their cus tomers.. - A study of the composition of the hop cone - in different stages of maturity was begun by the sta tion in 1910. Samples were gather ed 5 J days apart; running from August 11 to the last of Septem ber, all from a single hopyard near Corvalljs. Representative cones of various sizes were taken from the upper and outer portions of the vines well exposed to the sun. The amounts of the soft bitter resins as determined in the labor atory for the various dates are as follows : " . f August 11. total bitter resins, 10.76! per cent Ajugust 16, 12-56 per cent; August 21, 13.76 per cent; August 26, 14.51 per cent; August 31, 15.17 per cent; Sep tember 5, 16.79 per cent; Septem ber 11, 18.24 per cent; September 19, 18.41 per cent; September 26, 19.41; per cent. . These j results1 show that there is a continued increase of the amounts of bitter resins through out the ripening period. The riper the hop; the richer it is in these substances, and If this is the case, the fully ripened hop Is much to be preferred. : Hop Inspection Hops are bought and sold In this country j wholly on Jhe basis 1 of physical examination. The points considered vary with different buyers, but. those usually consid ered most important are aroma, quality of lupulin, oiliness, sticki ness, degree of ripeness, extrane ous matter, such as leaves and stems, curing, freedom ; from mould and insects, size of cones, degree of "sulfuring, and care in handling. Many leaves and stems, mould, insects, brbken cones, scant lupu lin, and "off" or "sour" sml, generally considered .detrimental, are determined simply by Inspec tion. The decision of buyer or consumer is just simply an opinion that differs widely with different individuals. ' As to sulfuring, It Is generally thought that it improves the color and adds to the keeping quality. Up to the time of station investiga lons, no accurate chemical meth ods had been worked out for deter mining the amount of sulfur. ' Fertilizing Hops ' Some of the older hopyards of Oregon at that time had a ten dency to die out at certain hills. One explanation then offered was that the soil had been depleted of its supply of available plant food. . nr. Some experiments in fertilizers were begun by the station in the spring of "1910 on the yards of T. A. Llvesley at Salem and H. Hirschberg at Independence. The Llvesley yard was about 20 years old, and on old bench land of a silt type near the river. The Hirschberg yard was also an old one bat on overflow river bottom soil. Both yards had shown con siderable decrease in yield. Fertilizers containing the dif ferent critical plant foods, nitro gen, phosphorus, potash and lime were tried separately and in mix tures. They were applied March 4 and 5, and worked well Into the soil immediately around the hills. Only every third row was fertiliz ed, leaving two rows on each side for comparison. Forty-one rows were tried out. Although the tiop vines were ob served carefully at different times in the growing season, and kept well cultivated until the first part of July, at no time did those which had been fertilized appear to do any better than tte unfertilized.

The physical vigor, moral strength, and clean simplicity of mind of -the American people can be immeasurably furthered by the properly developed op portunities for the life in the open-! ' And what better way to j enjoy a clean, hcalth'tnakiag, body-and-mind-dev eloping life in the open than to Even in the one instance in which nitrate of soda was applied to a plot on- the Llvesley yard which ap- peared to" Bhow some improvement in growth, there was not any in crease in yield. Results were neg ative, considered as a whole. ? Of all the fertilizing materials used in the Willamette valley, or dinary barnyard manure seemed to give best results. In every in stance reported, it had a benefi cial effect upon the growth of the hops. The good effect seemed put of proportion to the actual amount of plant food added,' and was at tributed in part to other factors, such as improvement of physical condition of the soil, and conser vation of moisture. The fertilizer tests as a whole were not consid ered final and definite because of lack of thoroughness. Much more work remains to be done before definite announcements ' can be made. What a blessing.
