Depew aaid It Just right when he aald, "The American army in the trenchea will have every appliance of modern warfare, but they hare mora, thny have the pur pose, the unselfish purpose, for which they are there. They are not fighting for territory or for loot or the luat of victory, they are not fighting for glory or fame, they are . fighting that they may preserve for themselves, and their countrymen, and that they may help all the world, including their present ene mies, enjoy the blessings of govern ment 'of the people, by the people and for the people.' They will go over the top. They will penetrate barbed-wire defenses, trenches, dug outs and p'.il boxes. They cannot be topped by barrages, machine guns, rifle fire or bayonets. They will penetrate 4m triple, armor forged about hearts and brains. The ideas of liberty will demoralize Its ene mies and convert its foes. f WAR SAVINGS STAMPS When you buy one of the IT.

COUNTY AGENT'S NOTES Smut Control It is estimated that for every nine bushels of grain harvested In Ore gon there Is at least one bushel lost from smut This loss can be prac tical eliminated at very slight ex penditure of time and money. A good many farmers have used blue vitrol in the past, and where grain haa been properly treated it has been very successful with no loss resulting. More recently the for maldehyde treatment has come Into use, and It is just as effectual as the blue vitrol, safer and less expen slve. Some failurea have been re ported from Its use, but Investiga tions have proven that the failure has been due to lack of proper meth ods being used In treating the grain. It should -be used at tbe rate of 1 pint of formaldehyde to 40 gal lons of water. This amount la am ply sufficient to treat SO bushels of grain. ', : . . J Wheat Is best treated by pouring It Into the solution and skimming off (he smut balls, weed seeds, and other Impurities that float, but oats or barley can be treated just as well by dipping In half filled sacks, or by sprinkling. In either case It Is only necessary to thoroughly emerge all of tbe grain so that every par ticle or It is wet by tbe solution. Id using the sprinkling method one should thoroughly stir the grain and then allow It to remain covered over night. Unless the seed Is sown shortly after treating It should be spread out so that it will dry. It is a patriotic duty as well as' an eco nomical saving for every farmer to treat his grain for smut this year. CD. THOMPSON, County Agriculturist MISS FOX WILL SAIL .
