EFFECTIVE XOXCAlSTi
Oregon Oold MJ, Developed by Iv
peiiiiiont Station .May lie Readily
Prepared at Home.
A new sulfur and lime compound
known as "Oregon Cold Mix," ha?
been developed by the experimcn
station to meet the need of grower
for a summer lime-sulfur combine
nation effective against brown ro
and scab and al the same lime hap
less, to tender fruits. Self-boiler"
lime sulfur, which is often used fo;
this purpose, is rather difficult b
prepare and requires fresh, h'p'
grade quicklime, not always avail
able.
The Oregon Mix requires fine!
ground sulfur-superfine fiour but
lack of freshness of hydratod Iim
does not decrease the effectivenes
of the spray. It Is made as fo
lows :
Eight pounds of sulfur flour i
mixed with four pounds of hydrad K
lime. Two quarts of skim milk ai
diluted with two quarts of water ant'
poured into the sulfur and linn
which is stirred to a smooth past
If too thick more water is slowl
added.
Several gallons of water are a
ded to this paste which is well stirrer'
up and poured through a strainc
into the spray tank. The tank li
then filled with water to make 51
gallons of spray.
Whole milk may take the place o
skim milk. It may be used if onl
sour.
The cost of the materials Is th'
lowest for this type of sprays, the
station says. Growers have tri r.
it for pear scab on the tenderesi
fruits, with excellent control of seal
and absolutely no damage to tlx
fruit. Station bulletin 201 gives
methods of preparing the Oregon
Cold Mix, which was developed prim
arily for brown rot of prunes ana
peaches.

dfcEGON DAIRY ANIMALS

llgh I'roduciivv Stock Sought to Re
place Loss of BQyOOO Head in
Foot and .Mouth Epidemic.
Oregon dairy cattle are In demand
o fill large orders from California
iairynien and farmers who suffered
oises in the recent epidemic of foot I
ind mouth disease that swept more
nan att.uiw neaa into me Siaugnier
renches. California growers are
uying cooiteralively unde the un
Versity extension service with W. H.
legan, chief of the dairying at the
)avis farm, in charge.
Through its director, Paul V.
'aris, the extension service has been
sked to help locate stock for sale
ind up to the qualification. Thf
ounty agents will help owners of
ii oil stock gel in touch will the Cali-
ornia market.
P. M. Brandt, chief of dairying
t the college station, has also been
iked to lend a hand in locating
iwners of such stock.
Oregon dairy stock in general is
ble to measure up to the standards,
ind the cows in the cow-testing as-
oclatlons show a consistent margin
iver the requirement of 3to pounds
f fat a year per cow. Many of the
best Oregon stock has been tuber-
ulin tested and found to be low in
tercentage of reactors.
Of nearly 50.000 cows tested by
he Oregon veterinary department
ind the federal bureau of animal in
lustry in cooperation with the exten
sion service, fewer than 1 i per cent
reacted. The California demand Is
for cows t. b. tested in herds under
tale or federal supervfaion, and for
ows in cow testing associations.
If not in supervised herds each ani
mal in the herd must be tuberculin
tested and if more than 10 per cent
react no animal will be taken from
he herd
Owners reporting stock for this
;ale are as' ed to give breed, num
ber of animals In each, average
trice, and other items called for.
High grade Holsteins and Guern
seys are sought and probably later
good Jet.- s and Ayrshire. A
irainload Is wanted at Brit, and later
ral snore will probably be called
for.

AS THE lights went down a hush
of exited aney settled over, the
audience a1 the theater. Most of tin-
faces were alitfhl with anticipation,
hut the old man and WomttU in the
back seats of the first balcony looked
very grave, They were country poo
pie, and they had never been to a the
ater before.
"Please God, It Isn't true, Mary I"
said the old man.
His wife pressed his hand gently.
She knew how deeply he felt upon the j
subject,
It was, for those simple minds, a :
tragic situation. Their daughter Lucy
had left the farm three years before.
And some meddlesome busybody had

To their simple minds there could
have been nothing more degrading.
The stage wus the acme of all that
was vilest In the world. They bad
come up to town, without announcing
their intentions, and were now await
ing the rising of the curtain upon
the first act of "The .Merchant of Ven
ice." Portia does not appenr at ti e begin
ning of that play. And before she had
come on the stage the old people were
staring in wonder at the niagnlllcenee
of the setting. More than that. In
place of the Immorality which they
had expected to find Inculcated, they
round a story, so gripping, so pathetic
that they were spellbound.
Rut when Portia appeared they
leaned forward with a revival of their
old terror. Portia was Lucy ! Miss

his knife, and things looked hail for
his enemy, tears eume Into their eyes.
"He'll get him. Mary!" whispered
her husband!

in dismay st the storm he had raised.

he yelled. "Oood girl! That's the
way! Teach the rogue n lesson ! Tell

There were no lonzer whispers of
