As an aid to Oregon farmers who are becoming more
and more interested in hog raising, the Agricultural
Department at Washington is sending out a number
oi instructive bulletins, of which the following is a
partial list: No. 379, Hog Cholera; No. 23, heeding
Harm Animals; No. 205, Pig Management; No. 339, Al
falfa; No. 372, Soy Beans; No. 462, Uailization of
Logged Off Lands; No. 350, Dehorning Cattle; No. 272,
A Successful Hog and Seed Corn Harm; No. 272, Boys’
Pig Clubs. Any farmer who desires any or all of these
bulletins may obtain same tree of charge by writing to
any of the Oregon representatives or senators at
Washington.
I hereby announce myself at
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the office ol
County Surveyor.

POSTAL VOTE.
A topic which is increasing in importance with each
sucessive election, is called to general attention by
Secretary Bryan, in his expression of the hope that
voting by postofiice will yet be put in practice in tins
country, tor that large body oi American citizens who
pursue business occupations which keep mem almost
constantly away from home and so render their
actual presence at the polls a matter of great dilliculty,
and, not infrequently, oi impossibility.
Secretary Bryan’s iuea, ii put in operation, of course,
would not alter the general methods of elections. The
incidents and scenes of election day, would be about
the same as they are now. A casual onlooker would
not be likely to realize that there had been any change
whatever.
But there would be a very important change in the
circumstance, that while the citizen of fixed habitation
would vote as he always has the citizen whose occupa
tion necessarily makes him a transient, would be able
to vote without the trouble and expense of a literal re
turn to his place of residence— that is, he could send
his vote by mail.
It is a well recognized fact, especially in presidential
elections, that thousands of voters, earnest and patri
otic, who are engaged in business requiring continual
travel, are put to heavy cost and harsh inconvenience
by the rule requiring their physicial presence at the
polls. Take for example the hundreds of thousands of
commercial travelers in the United States. Theirs
is a conspicuous instance.
SEWAGE IRRIGATION IN NEW JERSEY!
A profitable means of disposing of sewage from
institutions and small communities in districts where
no genearl system of sewage disposal is available
is disclosed by a report of experiments carried on by
the department of agricultural at the New Jersey
Training School located at Vineland.
In the past the sewage from this institution, which
has a summer population of 600 individuals, has been a
nuisance, ruining the land and creating a breeding
place for mosquitoes unless well covered with oil. In
1913 this sewage was spread over about twice as
much ground as formerly, and this land, instead of be
ing injured, was made to produce heavy crops of al
falfa and silage corn, thus doing away with the nuis
ance and securing a valuable crop at the same time.
It was possible to run this sewage over part of
an alfalfa field planted previously and compare the
yield from the Irrigated and the unirrigated tracts.
The part of the field in which the sewage was run
yielded at the rate of five tons per acre for the season,
while the part of the season receiving no sewage
yielded at the rate of three tons per aree.
The yields of corn were not determined but the yield
on the land on which the sewage water was run was
so much larger than that on the land not watered that
the directors of the school are putting in the equip
ment necessary to spread the sewage over still larger
areas in 1914.

T H E P O L K C O U N T Y ITEMIZER VOTING CONTEST
Void A fto r April 15, 1914.
Your correspondent was pres
ent at a meting of the demo
cratic county committee of
Marion county last Saturday
just before Chairman Dan J.
Fry called it to order. The fore
noon was exceedingly stormy
and only 16 of the 33 members
were present. A poll showed
that 14 of the 16 were Manning
supporters and that two were
pledged to Dr. Smith. These
iien, who would brave the
inclement weather to attend a
meeting, not in itself very im
portant, can all be classed as
"enthusiastic” workers in the
cause of democracy.
In Multnomah county Mr.
Manning is certain to receive a
majority of the votes cast, un-
ess something very unforeseen
recurs during the next five
j weeks. That is, a majority
over the combined vote of Dr.
Smith, Judge Bennett and Rob
ert A. Miller. The vote of the
latter two, as far as this county
is concerned will be scattering
and negligible. It is more ap
parent around the Imperial
Hotel than in any otheA part of
'he county.
The republicans have a big T
ger split, and more enmities
have been engendered thus far
in the campaign, especially as
regards the governorship, than
in any previous time in the polit
ical history of Oregon and many
of the most widely known re
publican war horses privately
assert that they have given up
hope of electing a governor this
year, “ unless,” they add, “ Ben
nett takes enough votes away
from Manning to give Smith the
nomination.”
ROUNDERS.
I hereby announce myself as
a candidate for the nomination
on the Republican ticket for the
office of Circuit Judge. I was
admitted to the bar in 1874 and

perience in the practice of law,
and if elected I shall administer
the law on principles of justice
and not on technicalities.
Glen O. Holman.
For Sheriff.
I hereby announce myself as

I the best ot my ability, enforce
the laws on our statute books
without fear or favor, and es-
pecially the laws regulating the
sa'e of intoxicating liquors, and
* will practice the utmost econ-
oniY h\ the management o f the
county’s business.
