Payne has been elected by the board of normal school regents to serve aa acting president of the Southern Oregon state nsrmal school, located at Ashland, vicePreaident Hon. B. F.

Tbe greater portion of tbe nseful bac teria in the soil, says Prof. Pernot, of the Oregon Agricultural College, are found in the upper layers of tbe soil because the majority of such bacteria require air for their growth. Frequent stirrings of the Boil by cultivation, by admitting the air to the soil stimulate the growth of these bacteria. The proper drainage of soil al so causes the air to penetrate deeper than ia undrained land and enables the bar. teria to thrive farther down in the soil. Youag men looking for life-partners should persuade their lady loves to at tend an embroidery sale and then stand back and watch proceedings. If there is abetter way of finding oat a woman's real disposition than at a "bargain sale' we have failed to discover that way. Let the young man beware of the female whe grabs, quarrels and growls, and if yon thins: tbev won't do it whea there's a few yards of cheap embroidery or lace ia sight, try it. There are various kinds of "eye-openers'' and this is certainly one. Writing his parents from Los Angeles, Claude Swann talis of a trolley ride up Mt. Lowe, and says: "Talk about climb ing hills, oar car certainly walked up the steepest hill I ever saw. Went straight up a hill of 62 degrees. In the first 3000 teet of travel we asceaded 1325 feet, so I guess that is going some. After this ehort ride we had a five mile trolley ride up to the top and in the five miles the longest piece ol straight track we had was 96 feet long and we made 137 complete turns." The basketball boys are having tbe trip of their lives and "Swannie" is certainly "getting bis money's worth.''

The December number of the Univer sity of C egon Baitetin, a copy of which has just been received, gives a tull de scription of the correspondence courses that are now being offered by the Uni versity.

Tbe university intends to add additional courses in Economies', ' Political Science, History, English Literature, Mechanical Drawing, Civil Engineering, Education and othe-i, as its resources permit. The correspondence work has met with ' a hearty recaption in all . parts of the state, lloiethan two hundred students enroll ed for the various courses during the past month. Prof. A. L.- Knisely of OAC has recent: ly issued a press bulletin in which he summarizes tbe results of an investiga tiiii made at the Oregon Experiment Station tj ascertain the losses of nitre gen from leaching in the case of soils which have been summer fallowed as compared with soils which have been in crop. The test was made by tbe use of large expos ed tanks so arranged that all the water which drained from them was collected for analysis. It was found that the loss of nitrogen through leaching when the land has been summer fallowed is from two to six times as much as when tbe land bad been in crop. The amount of nitrogen which leached out of the soil in one month ia the fall after the rains be gin amounts to about six pounds where the land has been in crop and about 40 pounds where it had been under bare summer fallow. From a table published in a recent bulletin of the Indiana Ex periment Station as to the amount of nitrogen removed by different crops we find that the extra loss of 34 pounds of nitrogen per acre by leashing is equival ent to the amount removed by 17 bushels of wheat, 120 bushels of potatoes or 5OO bushels of apples.
