Some Industri ous fellow with a team and plow would do well to call on the owners and get the use of them for wheat or some other necessary crop. That Is not sufficient. Some sort of concert' ed movement ought to be made to make sure that they are used. They do no one any good as matters stand and-are thoroughly discreditable In appearance. How muck . 'better to have them covered with a war crop than with weeds and refuse that disgrace the city. Enterprising boys could do well In getting what they 'can handle and cultivate it. Raise chicken feed, get a few chickens. then sell the eggs for a little pocket money. There is a fertile field here for a civic organization to devise ways and means for bringing about this great ly to he desired Improvement. It will not work oat Its own salvation but there must he a central moving spirit to direct It, If the best results are to be obtained. , Patriotic Oregon! When Informed that Uncle Sam's soldiers needed large quanltles of fox glove for med leal purposes, and was looking . to Oregon for It, the loyal people of the coast regions have, gathered It In such quantities and shipped It, at their own expense, to the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, that they have swamped the drying plant. So much so that Dean Ziefle requests the newspapers of the fox glove districts to inform them that they had better dry It out before sending it, according to instructions in circular. One hundred pounds win dry to 20, cheapening transpor tation. The dean Is very grateful for the most generous response to . the call, and is another witness for "Oregon first." The Junior Red Cross at Grants Pass, Oregon, which Is headquarters for Josephine chapter, has an Ingeni ous scheme for raising money by placing boxes around ' the schools bearing a legend to show what they are for and Into which the children, quite secretly, by the Australian bal lot system, pour their contributions. Thus, if they are unable to con tribute they are not embarassed by their inability. Red Cross Bulletin.

Combinations organized for the pur pose of handling and distributing food products often take fpr them selves an undue amount for the er- vlce.rendered or through duplication of work or unnecessary competition make the expense of handling so great as to leave no margin of pro fit tor the farmer or producer. Handling, storing, msrketlng and delivery costs must all be paid at es tablished 'rates and the farmer or producer takes or Is given what Is To correct this condition the route to marketfniust be shortened and efficient service rendered at reason able cost. Thla tan only be accom plished through the producers tak ing an active interest in marketing questions. . It is not enough to have cows fed the right combinations and amounts of ood and kept under favorable conditions. The form in which pro ducts are sold, their condition and the manner In which marketing Is done is of equal Importance with production or in some instances even more. Every dslryman keeping one or more coews should Interest himself in this Important question for each one can do something to help and nothing is more worth a producers time than a' stody of marketing. County Agent Thompson has ar ranged a series of dairy meetings to be held st Grants Pass. The import ant subject of- marketing will be dis cussed at the first of these meet ings, March 6, by Professor E. B. Fltts, Extension Service, Oregon Ag ricultural College. J. D. Mlckle, state dairy and food commissioner, will discuss team work for the dairy man, t Secure a program covering the entire series of Mr. Thompson and attend as many of the lectures and demonstrations as possible.

Ashes are worth careful trial as a fertiliser this yesr In the preparation of gar den land, In view or the high price of other fertilizers. Hard wood ashes are the best, and when kept dry till applied to the soil they add lime, potash and phos phoric acid. The lime baa a benefi cial effect on the soil and on many vegetables. It Improves the physi cal condition of heavy soils by sep arating the fine particles and Risk ing the soil more porous. It also serves to repel Insect pests. The potash Is In a finely divided form, readily available as a plant food. From 30 to 50 pounds per square rod are recommended by Professor A. O. Bouquet, of O. A. C. They are broadcasted and thoroughly Incor porated with 'he soli as It Is being worked up lu the spring. Too heavy an application tends to make the soil alkaline, a condition unfavorable to vegetable growth. Ashes are also likely to Increase sadness of pota toes and should not he used on pots to lands. Soft woo(f ashes, leached hard wood ashes, coat ashes and Incinera tor ashes, usually contkln much less of the valuable soil and plant ele ments. ORAVD WKB NICHOLAS ' TO BE TRIK1) FOR.

Experiments were made in October, 1912, at the Camp oi lAvord, the object then in view be ing to render a troop of Infantry In visible to observers In airplanes. The success then achieved did not establish the Institution because the means employed were so cumber some and expensive In execution.

Eclipses counted for much In the dim years when righting was men's most Impor tant business. Yet no one who lived In those days would have known that there were seven eclipses, so perhaps the heavenly portents would have ex erted less than their due Influence on hnmnn superstition.
