Editor Statesman: ,!
, Marion and Polk county farm
ers can well afford to consider toe
making-of extensive cover crop
plantings this fall,' because of the
comparative ' low; price of .retch
4 seed, and ' a sufficient supply of
moisture in the ground; which' In
dicates' that -a " splendid growth

' .The Surest Foundation
Just a little while ago a farmer
asked me If there wasn't some
thing that ' "an " ordinary fellow
de besides sowing fall wheat or
oats, 'and ; then ' be confronted by
a small crop .the next year. The
answer to his question was to
grow cover crops . at certain in
tervals 1 because they are the
farmer's surest foundation for in
creased production and, since
this is the cheapest method to sup
ply' nitrogen and organic matter,
it should be used as far as it will
go.M'. t -
Common purple- or Hungarian
vetch' is the best'eover crop for
this section, because it is thrifty
and hardy'nnder a wide range of
soli conditions, and it has the abil
ity to secure nitrogen under con
ditions, that are . adverse to other
legumes; such. a somewhat
acid soil. ' '-
Most Essehtiarand EtpeAstv ""
Wh,en a farmer stops to realize
that nitrogen is the mose essen
tial of all soil elements, and that
it. is also the most expensive, it
is then that an appfecidlon'ean
be obtained of the value of a
cover" crop. And. incidentally it
should be remembered that a
cover;, crop will provide humus, '

Soils of this section appear to be
perfectly able fcV meet the' heavy
demands on them for potassium,
but there are some whose content
of lime, in available condition, is
too: small to meet the exacting
requirement of legume crop for

With soils of this type the stim
ulation of nitrogen gathering bac

a partial neutralisation of the cal
cium deficiency, through the ap

;- After cheeking , up "with' the
farmers who mke'a practice 'of
growing cover crops, it has been
ascertained that they seed com
mon or Hungarian vetch on hill
land at the rate of 50 to 60
pounds to the acre and 30 to 40
pounds per acre on prairie or bot
tom land. The farmers in the
hills sow the" vetch in combina
tion with 30 to 40 pounds of win
ter grata, add the-' prairie and Dot
torn land farmers sow the vetch
as eembikation with about 4 to
50 pounds of grain. Those who
have tried rye prefer it over either
wheat or oats, because it makes
a rapid growth and produces a
large amocat of humus. -

Ofdest Beekeeper iin : Pacif
ic Is Working on 'This
Important Project
J." W. Ware, Pierce c6unty,
Washington, oldest beekeeper In
the Pacific northwest over :'85
years of age, is working on the
project of producing a thornless
evergreen blackberry,' and he has
almost developed such a; variety.
He h&s been , a beekeeper since
be can remember, and he has also
been a sort" of Bur bank in the
world of plant . life. He has im
proved many varieties of berries.
Grows Them With Bees
"Mr. Ware keeps his experiments
in plant lffe 'going With, his .inee-keeping-gTowing
among his bees
both yellow and white sweet
ciover, a numoer 01 varieiies 01
fruit trees, and an endless nu in
ner of other things.
"Bees and Hone,' Seattle, writ
ingf of Mr. Ware's . work, says:
"Just how Mr; Ware manages to
keep set many colonies of bees
right on a city lot of perhaps 100
feet square, and not get into
trouble with. neighbors especially
at swarming time, is a conundrum
But he said he does not have any
swarms, and this is his procedure (
"When the brood-chamber is
plump full of brood, take three or
more frames of the brood and pu(
thepr in a hjye-body on top, filling
both chambers with frames of
Comb foundatipn. Or take the
frames of brood away for a'
nucleus. By this method it seem ft
to satisfy the bees', or else tjieji
seem to think that they .; have,
swarmed. At any rate, he' says
It prevents swarming for him. Of
coarse he gives the strong colonies
plenty of room in addition to re
moving the brood. -
Mr. Ware uses a sun wax Ten
derer; that seems to do the wprk
all right. It is similar to the old
Doolittle solar wax extractor. Just
why every apiary of any site does'
not have -such an extractor for
rendering their old ' combs and
pieces of comb, we-do not under
stand. The .sun will do this work
if given a chance."

Editor Statesman: .
Salem, Oregon's capital city,
of which we may well be proud.
has so many beauty spots, in the
lovely, well kept, ' artistically
planned grounds of state house,
asylum and . homes, that a ride, of
a few hours is a grear pleasure
to 'any one who. laves a, beautiful
city.
But what of the spot that should
be J" the most beautiful of all?
Beautiful for situation, for that
is all that can be said of it, for
it certainly, shows a lack of ap
preciation of the brave, hearted
pioneers, who by their dauntless
J courage 'aacT self-sacrificing fru
gality, made it possible for us to
enjoy the many things' that make
this part of Oregon so attractive
to all. . . . , .
Is Salem so poor that'her cem
etery must be such a blot on her
beautiful landscape? So poor that
she can not forever clean out the
poison oak wild vines' and weeds
and make this City of the Silent
Majority; a spot to be; admired by
ther hundreds who pass, and en
joyed by those who have laid thetr
loved ones- away to await the res- j

Better : do it,J Salem, for it
