Fertilizer Test Found in Hawaii HONOLULU, Aug. i-(ffy-A. new way to determine what kind of fertilizer should be added to the soil to promote plant growth efficiency is being tested by Dr. Lyman A. Dean, . chemist at the University of Hawaii agricultural experiment station. Chemical ' analysis of . coffee tree leaves Dr. Dean reported, shows up any nutritional defi ciency In the plants and may in dicate how the soil should be fer tilized. The system also has been plants elsewhere. The common method of ascer taining - fertilizer needs, is a soil test Numerous holes are' bored in trie fiaM nr nwrtnrrl - tn m-mt ' aill their content of nitrogen, potash and phosphorus, the three main elements of plant nutrition. While 'these tests are accurate so far as the soli itself is con cerned, they may not show how mueh of each food actually is be ing taken uP by the plant. Leaf analysis discloses what foods the plant really received. ' This system plus detailed knowledge of climate and the food requirements of specific plants eventually may be em ployed to save time and money In soil conditioning.

At least lt is agreed 'that it. is closely related with the first hanging to occur in Linn county. Mrs. John McChesney, 80, of Albany, is probably the most au thentic source for the correct his tory of the naming of the stream. Her father, the late Robert Conn, came to Linn county from In diana. In the 1860's and located on a place about a quarter of a mile east . ot " where the present highway crosses the stream. ". Lav ing close by was another early-day settler. This man hired two men by the names of Lamb and' Pate to clear some of his land from trees. Lamb was apparently a frugal sort of fellow. He saved bis money. He also won the' affections of his employer's daughter and expected to marry her. Pate became Jeal ous, and also coveted the money which Lamb had saved. -, One evening during the winter, Mrs. ' McChesney aad at brother Joshua, were sent to' look tor the family cow." - They heard a shot and called for help, became fright ened. and fan 'home to tell their father. . He did not put much faith' In the children's . story; but when they .were insistent.' he and an older son, ike, went out to in vestigate. - They followed tracks in the snow', which . led them" to the small creek where they saw the leg "ot a man protruding from the water.'. Upon .Investigation, the " dead ' man was' found, to be Lamb, but his boots had been re moved. . ''. Ike Conn started for Albany, but in' those 'days travel was not so easy as it-la now. and the murd erer had a goot start. When young Conn arrived, in Albany, he' spread the alarm, and Pate was soon lo cated In a shoe shop. As lt hap pened he had on the boots of the dead man, and on which the cob bler had done some work re cently. - The shoe maker of course recognized the footwear, and this was a prime factor In placing the crime on-Pate. Pate was latter hanged, the hanging, according to reports, taking pulace in an oak grove near the present site of the Masonic cemetery. The creek at different times has been called Fisher and'Powell creek, for nearby ' . settlers, but Murderer' Creek . is used on gov ernment maps. If the name should be' changed. Conn . creek would probably meet with a great deal of approval. . ..... .
