The OREGON STATESIUCN, Salem.' Orejgon, Sunday Morning, Jone 1929 PAGE SEVENTEEN Lawn SP1H IS SOMETIMES BAD Heavy Irrigation Which Will Sink Deep in Soil is Best Method Used Br Fred Blake The exact ralne of irrigation for Uwii and gardens Is known to only a few people. It Is evident. by tke way some people apply wa ter that there is not only no sys tem to the irrigating, but also no knowledge concerning why they should irrigate. Irrigation is applied merely to supplant the water Nature would have supplied. In arid sections, moisture must be given artifici ally to keep the plant life sup plied with the necessary plant foods. To the average amateur it Is not necessary to go into detail as to the chemical composition of water, bnt it, I necessary to know how to make a practical applies tkm of water where it will do the most good. It Is better to nse large quan tity of water every twe or three days rathe- than a mere sprink ling daily. The heary Irrigation penetrates the soiLto a consider able depth where --It gradually comes to the surface during longer period of time This meth od allows for moro cultivation. Too much water is.as harmful as too little and where a heavy ap plication is made; followed as soon as the soil Is dry enough to be worked with a shallow cultivating, water will be saved and the plant will become more thrifty. 'There are several methods for applying water. Flower beds may be sprinkled or they may he ir rigated by the ditch method. The sprinkler system is the easiest and employs the least tims and Is per haps the most advUable for this section of the country. The sprinklers must be placed in such positions that every Inch of the flower bed or lawn is reached with the spray. Very often one sees Bmall sections of lawn or bed which is stunted in growth be cause of lack of water. This con dition is never necessary If only a little more care is give to wat ering. If the sprinkler does not reach every section, attach the hand nozzle, and In a few mo ments, the untouched spots hare received the same amount of wa ter as the "rest, and the result will be an evenly growing bed or lawn. Lawns Need-Water Lawns need more water than the flower bed, for two reasons. First, the lawn cannot be culti vated as the beds are, and sec ondly, the roots of the grasses are shallow and therefore must re ceive a greater amount of water to prevent them from drying oat For the general sweep of lawn, standing with a hand noszle Is a waste of time. The man who Ir rigates in this manner neither gives his lawn enough water nor applies it evenly. .The use of large sprinklers is necessary for the large sweeps. These can be left standing for a considerable length of time while the gardener goes about his other business. However, there Is as important place for the hand nozzle. This should be used when watering blooming flowers. As a sprinkler would soon destroy the blooms, the use of a hand sprinkler comes in handy. The -water can in this manner be controlled and with some care the blooms need not be ruined. Some people would rather remove the nozxlerwhen watering their blooming jdanti, and merely use the open hose. During the hot summer months, one occasionally sees small sec tions of the lawns dried up. This is especially true of slopes. These may be easily greened np by us ing a little system. The soil will be fonnd hard in these sections and more than likely the grass is thin. The first job is to soften the soil. Water applied seems to roll off as soon as it Is applied. If the soil is roughened a little in case the bare soil is on the surface, the water will take hold more easily. To soften these slopes, apply a small amount of water, then in a few minutes return to the same section and water again. Repeat this method until the soil is soak ed to some distance. Water these sections twice a day during hot weather and soon green will ap pear. The use of an open hose will , produce best results on the small steep slope. To build np a heavy stand of grass for preventing further drying out, apply a small amonnt of commercial fertilizer in the form of sheep guano. The installing of the Irrigation system Is rapidly becoming popu lar. This system of sprinkera lo cated at intervals oter the entire lawn. Irrigates evenly and thor oughly with a minimum of labor. The first cost Is practically the only expense. There ere no heavy hoses to drag around to get dirty and wet from, and nonrepairs to make on leaky . hoee- There are no new hoses to bay Then the old ones wear oat, no sprinklers to get stopped np. .The regular " sprinkling system Is icdispeasibla in the crowing La new lawa. It has been noted that upon new lawns which were equipped with Irrigation Important Success Marks At West Salem School and Principal Will Come Back WEST SALEM, June 1. 'The West Salem school was brought to a successful close Friday un der the prlncipalship of Miss Bes sie Shinn, who has been hired as principal for another year. Miss Odessa Grant, who has been teaching the seventh grade has accepted a position in a Dal las school for the coming year. Miss Cooke who taught the fifth grade, has taken a position in Al bany, while Miss Dotson of the third grade, will teach In The Dalles next year. Miss Voth of the first grade, has resigned, and is not expect ing to teach the coming year. Mi3s Welch, who has been teach ing the fourth grade, will take the place left vacant by the resig nation of Miss Voth. Miss Kazel Emmett. of Orchard Heights, Miss Noland, formerly of Iowa, Miss Messinger of MeMinnville, and Miss Ethel Grant, of Dallas, are the new teachers hired to fin vacancies. Miss McKee of the sixth grade and Miss Polley of the second grade will returrn next year to teach their respective grades. Box Factory Under Way The new box factory, which was recently built and is being oper ated by John Frelsen. is very busy these days making up boxes to fill orders. This shop, formerly oper ated in Salem before Mr. Frelsen built the new factory here. It has a large floor space, having base sprinkling systems, a eulcker and more even lawn was produced. The expense of properly watering with a hose is very large for the whole season, while it is not nec essary to employ outside help In irrigating with a system. The mere turn of an outlet and the whole section is under the spray of water. BALLOT HUES II UPHELD BY COURT (Continued from Pa fro 1.) have been filed with the secretary of state. This referendum was in voked by .William F. Woodward, of Portland, and the ballot title was attacked by W. M. Davis. The attorney general has ruled that when the act is voted on as a ref erendum measure all electors in the state, and not alone those in Multnomah county, wni vote on it. Had the supreme court not ap proved the Van Winkle ballot title the action would have become ef fective June 4, and within 15 days from that date Governor Pat terson would have been required to appoint the judges to fill the new offices. Since the referendum has been Invoked against the state Income tax act the state tax commission when it makes the annual state tax levy next December, will not levy on 1919 Incomes. But it the people approve the income tax act when t is voted on in November, 1930, it is the opinion of the state tax office that the commission In the following December will levy on incomes for both 1929 and 1130. It was admitted that these is some uncertainty on this point. The legislative act providing for a special election June 28. this year, permits only the excise and the intangibles tax acts to be vot ed on t that time, but the ref erendum was not invoked on the intangibles, so there will be only one question before the voters. The oral opinions of the su preme court will be followed by written opinions. TROOP oi w (Continued from Pags 1.) were awarded by the Judges. Boh Boardman and H. W.

HEMES TO BFGin PACKING Long Season Wit! Start for Salem District; Goose berries First (Continued from Pag 1.) berries the latter part of the week. The Oregon Packing company will use no gooseberries this year. but will be ready for strawberries soon. There was no one at the office of the Northwest cannery yester day afternoon, but this plant will ef course take on its usual lines, West Salem Plant Ready For Operations The Weet Salem cannery, taken over by Reid, Murdoch Co., Is in order for the beginning of the season. They expect some goo berries tomorrow, and strawber ries for the cold pack process ear ly in the week. The Hunt cannery will get some gooseberries tomorrow, and start on them within a day or two, with a scattering of ' strawberries the latter part of the week. A fall supply will depend on the weath er. It will not be long delayed. The Woodbmrn cannery will start on gooseberries tomorrow. The new plant of Baker, Kelley & McLaughlin, cold pack, special ists on North Front street. Is all finished and equipped, aid Its managers "rarln" to go." George W. Johnson is on the staff there, with Mr. MacLaughlin In charge. There will bo some picking o strawberries by contractors with their patches on the bottom lands, and some deliveries, tomor row, and operations will begin, Half Million Pounds Of Strawberries Packed This company has on hand 500,000 "cups" for one pound packages of strawberries. That means a half million pounds of berries for this part of the pack alone. This will perhaps be the largest operation of the kind ever made. Concerning how many pounds this concern will put into other cold storage packages (bar rels and eans), no estimate can be made now. But the growers with 1500 acres of strawberries, in this district, are under contract, All of the Marshall type; the soft berries for the cold pack process Several of the canneries also use the cold pack process. The big Hunt plant in Salem will put up more one pound cartons than last year, and more of the soft berries in other containers. How much more, W. G. Allen, the general manager, is not now certain. But this plant used nearly as many berries for the cold pack process last year as for canning. It is very fortunate for this district that the big capacity of the cold storage plant of the Ter minal Ice & Cold Storage com pany, on North Commercial street. has been largely Increased near ly doubled over that of last year. This gives an opportunity for the expansion of the cold pack con cerns here this year; very much needed to guard against some of the fruits going to waste for want of facilities for handling them.

Justice Hoyt based his plan on the premise that the repeal of the amendment of the eighteenth amendment fa neither possible nor practicable at this time; that tne proposal to permit the etates at their option to dispense liquor win never prove acceptable and that a possible modification of the Volstead act as to the alcohol ic content of beverages offers no real solution of the problem.

June 1, fAPl -In two great tennis contests at the Ro land Garros stadium this after noon Bill Tilden and Frank Han- ter stormed the ramparts of French supremacy and failed. Big Bill was beaten by his old foe, Rene LaCoste, 6-1, -0, 5-7 8-3. in the semi-finals ot the French championship in a match which would have been a route but for a great stand by the American in the third set. Shortly before, Jean Borotra, the bounding Basque, came from behind to trim Hunter in the quarter-finals 6-8, 10-8, 4-6, 8-6, 6-4. With the downfall of America's first and second ranking stars the last chance of capturing the only important men's singles title which has never been won by a player from the United States vanished for this year at least. The renowned three musketeers of France are In sole possession ot the field with LaCoste already in the final and Henri Cochet scheduled to dispute the remain ing semi-final with Borotra to morrow.

Ellis Sets Out Stirring Appeal Before Commerce Board An appeal -for a 25 to 50 per cent reduction in freight rates on grain products was made Friday before the Interstate Commerce commission in Washington, D. C, by William D. Ellis, ot Salem, counsel for the Oregon public service commission. Mr. Ellis left Salem about 10 days ago to represent Interests of the northwest at the hearing. Ellis contended that the reduc tion requested is not only neces sary for the relief ot grain grow ers, but may be made without in justice to the railroad. He pre sented figures prepared by J. P. Newell, consulting engineer for the Oregon commission, which he said indicated that grain is now contributing an undue proportion of the cost of maintaining railroad service. Attacks Examiner's Report Discussing claims of the middle western states to preferred consid eration aa the leading grain area, Ellis declared that tbe Columbia river ports ot Oregon are ho larg est grain exporting ports la the. United States. . . . Grain growers in the Pacific Northwest, he said, are handi capped by Canadian competition. Export rates which are from 38 to 90 per cent higher in this terri tory than they are in Canada, pre vent them . from competing with the Canadian growers in the world markets, he said. A report on grain rates by an examiner of the commission, which recommends increased rates in certain sections, was devoted entirely to protection of railroads, millers and the markets, Ellis said. "No consideration whatever." he edded, "was accorded grain grow ers, for whose relief congress di rected inrestgatlon."
