Two liquid ounces to the plant is ample, the material being simply poured on the surface of the soil about the plant. Four treatments are necessary. The first, three days after transplanting and the succeeding treatments at ten day intervals. Screen beds are necessary in the growing susceptible plants from seed.

PRIVACY SOUGHT BYOIIEWlS Privacy is the th'mg to strive for in planting a 50 foot lot with orna mentals, Guys A. ti4 1'eck, professor of landscape gardening, at O. A. C. A city lot will not permit much land scape gardening, so if any one idea xb to be developed, it should be pri-. -vaey. "Privacy is most to be desired in city property, especially in the back yard," Professor Peck declared. "In stead of taking your guests into the living room on a summer evening, how much better would it be to take them into an outdoor living room in the bnckyard, away from the noise and clatter of the street." A terrace, a pergola, a small gar den house, or a terace and pergola aro possible in the back yard. Here too, are seats and perhaps a table, also a flower and vegetable garden if desired. Placing the house as near the front property line as possible is necessary for the backyard development. Many real estate subdividers advertise that the deed they give prohibits locating the honse nearer the front than 25 feet. Half this distance would be bet ter on a lot only 100 feet deep. This permits only Bimple planting of shrubs, and a lawn in front to tie the house to the ground. : "The" city lot should function," Pro fessor Peck continued. "That is, one should be able to get fuel in eas ily, or the car in ond out without too much backing. Leave room for a clothes line. Walks are made as di rect as possible, either in straight lines or easy graceful curves. Give as little . space as possible to the drive. Often it is not feasible to have a drive, and access to the garage is by the alley." "The place for roBes is somewhere in the backyard by themselves. They always look well in formal beds .with turf walks. Eighteen roses aje a big supply for the average ploce, ond those who boast 50 or 00 varieties, are planting roses to the exclusion of mnny other desirable things." Trees are placed in the parking, as they require more room than a city lot "usually affords. Of course, nny development extending over a period of years, Mich as a garden, presup poses a plan fully developed beforehand. by R. W, Morse, county agent. He says that Grimm sowed by I. Skovobo of Boardman a year ago was not damaged while common alfalfa all around it was nipped. Garnet Baratt of Heppner reports that Grimm he seeded two years ago is the only al falfa left on his place. Many other growers report similar comparisons, according to Morse. Grimm is the variety recommended by the tate and county agricultural economic conferences because as com pared with other varieties it lives longer, resists cold better, starts earlier in the spring and yields more hay per acre. Farm Reminders Chicks Want Free Range Brooding chicks on clean soil and giving them free range following the brooding period is a wise practice, according to II. B. Cosby, poultry specialist for the O. A. C. extension service. A two, three or four yard system with the permanent brooder will permit ranging chicks on clean ground each year and will go far to ward avoiding diseases that result from soil contamination, says Cosby. He asserts that brooding a large number of chicks on the same ground year after year and raising them to laying age on the Bame ground used for brooding is about the. surest known method of going out of the poultry business. nra clover Early Plowing Helps " Willamette valley fruit plantings that are plowed and worked down by the middle of April will conserve more moisture than those left un plowed after that date, says C. L. Long, horticultural specialist for the O. A. C. extension service. Shade and protection afforded by a cover crop does not begin to conserve as much moisture as ivlost by the leaves through transpiration.' Veterans' Bureau Suit is Held up PORTLAND, Oro., April 18. The jury trying the suit of Frank M. Ar nold, former soldier, against the vet erans' bureau was discharged by Fed eral Judge Wolvertion. Ita members declared they could not agree.

Increased clover seed production Is warranted in Lane county and other western Oregon districts by the climatic, soil, crop rotation and mar ket conditions. Such increase was recommended by the state agricultur al economic conference, and has been supplemented by lime recommenda tions in several of the county con ferences. Both the extension service nnd experiment station have Joined in these recommendations and taken active steps In carrying forward the project. Some excellent results have been reported. In western Oregon and in Irrigated districts of ' eastern and southern Oregon result in average acre yields of between & and 3 bushels per acre as compared with 1 to lMi bushels in the clover seed producing stntes oi ths Mississinnl valley. A few north ern sections average about 2 buahels an acre. The conference declared that the United States annually im ports about $2,000,000 worth of red, white and alslke clover seed, grasses and vetch. Malheur, Crook and Deschutes counties have given attention to de velopment of clover seed growing, and the county economic conferences held in those counties encouraged de velopment of the industry to the ex tent that sufficient tonnage be made available for car lot shipments and to furnish a BUpply large enough to attract buyers. A hundred-acre field of red clover owned by L. A. Dnugherty and II. Baty of the Powell Butte community in Crook county yielded 4.5 bushels of .seed per acre last year, reports County Agent Tucker. It was threshed by an ordinary grain sepa rator and would have yielded 50 per cent more seed if a clover buller hod been used. A bushel of this seed took second prize at the Pacific In tnrnationol land products show last November. A few years ago a little red clover seed was produced in Malheur county bv farmers near Adrian. About KM) growers harvested this crop in 1024, estimates County Agent Breitbaupt. Sunlight is Biggest Asset for Chicks k it- 1 sr via IK 1 Effect of sunlight on growth.

W1) To save time, money and ajinoyance, Secretary Hoover favors a simplifi cation of the tortuous legal process through which a merchant chip must pass under present regulations when she enters on American port. These regulations bring an arriving vessel into contact with five differ ent departments of the government, and innumerable bureaus. The pro cess is described by Mr. Tloover. aB follows: The master of the vessel first en counters the health authorities, rep resenting the public health service of the tretiaury department, who bonrd the, Bhip at quarantine and examine into health condition of crew and passengers. Customs Men There At the same time customs officials arrive. They also are officials of the treasury department, but in this par ticular instance they represent also the commerce department. On behalf of the treasury they have various duties In connection with the collec tion of customs, and receive the mani fests and other documents from the master. As representatives of the department of commerce, if there are steerage passengers on the vessel they examine sanitary conditions and other matters relating to the enforce ment of the passenger acts. The immigration officers likewise board the ship, representing the de partment of labor, and perform their duties in connection with the enforce ment of the immigration laws. The ship then leaves quarantine and next meets with officials of the coast guard, who designate anchor ago grounds, acting under delegation from the war department, which has this duty under the law. ,, r.

The officers guilty of viola tions are subject to trial by the steamboat inspection service. When the ship finally docks, a for mal entry is mado with the collector of customs, who supervises the .entry and unloading of the cargo. In re ceiving the entry, the collector acts as an official of the department of commerce. In supervising the un loading, he acts for the treasury de partment. The next official who deals with the vessel Is the shipping commis sioner, also an officer of the depart ment of commerce, beforo whom the master discharges his crew. If he wants charts, he muBt go to the rep resentatives of the coast and geo detic survey of the deportment of commerce for those covering inland waters, and to the hydrographic bur eau of the navy department for those covering ocean waters. Italy Will Tell of Work of her Sons New Kind of Tire May Mean Mileage (By NEA Service) AKRON, Ohio, AprU 18. A cheap er, better and longer-lived tire may result from a new method of manu facture introduced here. It concerns tho vulennization of rubber under water, instead of iu live steam. Frank A. Sleberllng, veteran tire man, has adopted the method, after testing the process in his laborator ies for a long time. The invention Is under the name of L. A. Lauraen of Kau Claire, Wis. Curing the rubber undor water, It la explained here, causes It to re tain its natural oils in almost por toet oondltiou. The result is said to he longer life for the product. Tires and tubes already built by the Laursen method are said to af ford increaaed mileage. As a result ot the experiments with this method, It is said here, mo torists may soon see a new kind ot tube on the market, nnd a new tire by the end ot the year. (By NEA Service) NEW YOHK, April 18. Bromine, an Ingredient used in a "dope" for motor fuel, ia going to be pumped up out ot the sea. For this purpoae the steamship Ethyl hns been equipped as a com plete chemical plant and will roam the seas for the fluid. Refuted as a factory for recover ing bromine from senwater, the Kthyl, formerly the Lake Harmlnia of the United States Shipping Hoard, will clear from Wilmington, Del., on what , is probably the strangest voyage ever undertaken. She will call at no port aud, roaming the ocean, will extract her cargo from Its waters. Chemical experts, who are mem bers ot the American Chemical So ciety, estimate that 1700 gallons of soawater contain one pound of bro mine. Hence, it Is the Ethyl's mu aion to remove this seven one-thousandths of one per cent ot bromine in the seawster, with which it is plan ned to refill the world's bromine storehouses, emptied by the rapid de velopment of ethyl gasoline in auto mobile operation. In an official announcement of the voyage, A. M. Maxwell, Tie presi dent of the Ethyl Qssoline Corpora tion, owuera of the vessel, says an entirely new process of bromine ex traction would be employed. This pro cess is expected to yield 100,000 pounds of bromine a month. To pro duce this quantity, the Kthyl will . draw 7000 gallons of seswater a min ute. "The success of this venture may give an entirely new aspect to the manufacture of bromine, which here tofore hna been laboriously recovered from mineral springs and from the potash deposits ot Germany," says Maxwell. 'Success, furthermore, may mean equipping a fleet of bromine ships for the recovery from1 the seas of other valuahle constituents to en rich mankind. . ROME, April 18.
