The point is just this: Every reader of the paper should make it a business to consider the business opportunities that appear from time to time in the advertising columns of the Herald. These things are put in for several rea sons. In the first place an ad vertisement is more than a bid for your trade. It is a source of instruction as to values, source of supplies and business oppor tunities. It informs you as to the success of the dealers of your town, for generally, though not invariably, the man with the business advertises. The fellow who does not advertise either has enough, or he is afraid to risk what little he does have and does not solicit trade. Look out for the live merchant. He ad vertises his wares, gets the trade, and wide awake people observe the papers to see what chances are coming their way. Get acquainted with your mer chants and keep acquainted by observing what they have to offer. O place was surprised Officials of the rose festival have been advised that the mov ing picture trust will send ten operators, with five moving pic ture cameras from the head quarters of the trust in Europe to Portland to take complete pic tures of the coming festival pa rades and exercises. These films when manufactured, will be dis tributed very widely and shown all over the world. It is esti mated that no less than 100,000.- 000 people will see the attrac tions of Oregon roses in this way. I«/HILE attending the Farmers " Institute here last week. J. E. Stansberry, county fruit in spector, brought to this office a twig fairly covered with the oyster shell or bark louse. It was taken from a fruit tree growing along the road east of town and is a reminder that all such trees should be destroyed as they afford such fine breeding places for destrutive pests. Bet ter look your trees over and see if they are infested. The Telephone-Register of McMinnville estimates that a county assembly ticket will be turned down to the extent of three-fourths of its nominees.

There is but one first class battleship on the coast at present, the Oregon, which is at Puget Sound navy yard. Six teen battleships are together in the Atlantic fleet, while three are on special duty and ten are in various yards on the Atlantic coast. It is likely that some of the vessels sent to the west coast this summer will be kept here permanently. Several people have gathered that D. M. Roberts had about decided to leave the town. That is all a mistake. Mr. Roberts has just decided to enlarge his field of operations, making Gresham his home as heretofore. He says Gresham is good enough for him. uw-d by the remnant of the Aratl'n- nlan race which Inhabit« the southern most province of chile.

Iridium Is a hard, brittle, silver white metallic element belonging to the platinum group, discovered by Tennant in lMCi, sometimes found native and nearly pure, but generally combined with osmium. It Is. with the exception of osmium, the heaviest metal known and Is used for pen points, contact points in telegraphy and points of scientific Implements liable to wear.

Deep plowing, with thorough disk ing and harrowing, ts necessary in or der to get the land Into the tn»«t con dition. Strawberries should follow some cultivated crop which has been kept free from w » mh ! s . It will then be easier to prepare the seed Ind. and the patch w ill be freer from weeds and insects. Strawberries are particular in their soil requirements, and a little care in prc|»arat1on will add greatly to the size of the crop. Too little at tention Is given to this most Important requisite. Many persons do not seem to be aware that the strawberry la at all particular about the soil in which it Is put. As a consequence they pre pare their beds without any reference to this essential factor in the success of their enterprise and. of course, are doomed to disappointment in the out come. Varieties of Strawberries. Varieties of strawberries are divided into two general type«—the jwrfect and the Imperfect flowered The imperfect contain only the female organs or pls tils, while the perfect sorts contain both stamens and pistils. The Ini per- feet varieties can produce no fruit un less fertilized with the pollen from the flower of a perfect variety. It is very Important that attention be paid to this point In planting. Many of the imperfect sorts possess points of wujmj - rlorlty over the [wrfect varieties. They can be successfully grown by planting every fifth row to a perfect flowered variety. This row will furnish pollen for the two rows on either side of it. In setting out a i>ed In this way care must be taken to see that the two va rieties come into bloom at the same time. Perfect and Imperfect varieties can not be told apart except when In bloom. Then the absence of the row of plat fl s around the petals marks the imperfect sorts. Lists of varieties of strawberries always sj>ec|fy whether they are perfect or irnperf<*ct. A reli able nurseryman can be depended upon to give you what you ask for. A Hat of the varieties best adapted to your locality can is? obtained from your ex periment station. The strawl#erry is propagated almost entirely by runners. At each joint In the runner a new plant appears and takes root Only plants less than a year old should be selected for plant ing The crown should not be too large and the roots thick and long The presence of large woody roots and a heavy crown indicates that the plant Is an old one. If there are many leaves It is well to pinch off one or two of the largest to correspond to the Injury to the root system. Planting 8trawberrie«. Spring planting Is the most reliable, but where the fall is moist or the patch can be readhy watered fall plant ing gives very good results. The two Important points tn planting are spreading the roots and packing the dirt tightly about thorn 1 h<> plants should be set so the crowns are just level with the surface of the ground. Hills Versus Matted Rowe. Strawberries are grown both In hills and in rows, in the hill system the plants are set about three feet apart The runners are cut off In order to make a compact vigorous hill. The size and quality of the berries are bet ter under the hill systent but the mat ted row system gives larger yields In thia the plants are set from ten to twrite inches apart In rows four tert apart Th»» runners aro trimmed to make a lunttvd row about two ft'rt wide Tin» S|mcrs brtw»»vu the rows should la» kept well cultlvutv«l during the early |»art of the sen noii and the weetls pulled in the rows After the MK<md year th«* runners can is* allow «»«I to fill these open spaeva and the original rows ph>w«»d up In this way the bed van tw easily ro:.»'w«xl ami kept (waring tor several years, usually until th«» land I mhxhiws so weedy that It must la* plow «»«I up and put lu to some oth«»r crop.
