' FRIDAY, MAfrCH 15, igttf. PROSPEROUS ORUaOtV. .'.111. . Never before. m the bfsiory of ,Orcgon has there been o large an .immigration into the state as is uow in progress. Thousands are .coming frpm all parts of the coun try, particularly the Middle West. .to.Vlsft our. stale, acquaint them selves with opportunities here atid, if they are satisfied, to make their" future home in sonic part of this Kreat and prosperous common Wealth. This influx ot people look ing for a new country where they .can better their condition, is sine lo result in a greatly increased pop .ula.ttou for Oregon. And that means a greater development ol Oregon's unparalleled resources in the next few years. What ii drawinc these thousands bfVhrsrprising people into Oregon's boundaries? The answer is not difficult to find. Seldom, if ever, has the state been as prosperous as vlt flow i. Reports from every sec tion.iijdicaVe great prosperity. I.- . vbris scares auti fs commanding the twst of wages, gVeat building activity is seen in all the cities, ,ricw lands are being put under cul .ivntlou.throughout the state, irri gation projects are being developed, j .railroads arc. in process of construe- .tioii sawmjlUj are humming, mines are being worked-r.is fact, the one common jeppjt frpin, all. sources is ual.Pregon is a veritable bee hive of activity and is on the eve of a' great and substantial development. . It has been said that Oregon ,ij5dijd more population. Indica--) fans. promise that it will soon have -that need supplied. During the .Lewis and Clark Exposition people from the older settled states had .their eyes opened to the possibil ,iljaJd,resources of Oregon,. They saw a state possessing great natural resources awaiting development mines, fisheries, enormous timber treilth, extensive stockraising pos sibilities, rich orchards, and mile after mile of new, unbroken land awaiting the coming of the set tler and perceiving all this many streams floods that caused, in ouc year, hundreds of thousands of dol lars damage. Hilt it is an unwise policy Uiat aids in preventing such floods and. in so doing hinders n few hundred people from incrcosing their personal wealth. However, the greatest lasting benefit from the forest reserves is the protection to the watersheds of the country and the saving, of n small per cent, of bur timber from total destruction by the lumber trust. Oregon, with Us thousands of acres to be reclaimed by irriga tion, should vnllahtiy uphold any policy that tends to conserve and protect the natural water supply. With the mountain ranees stripped of their timber, millions of cubic feet of water would be wasted by winter nud spring-time floods and later, when needed for growing crops, the water could not be had; simply because it had been wasted by an asinine policy that gobbled cvety thing for the present with no provisions for the future. It is stated that extensive tracts in Spain that were formerly fertile agricultural lands, are now dry, hot, barren and worthless wastes, due to cutting the timber from the land. A similar state of affairs could very easily be brought about in Oregon by letting the rapacity of the lumber barons and the selfish desires of a few individuals go unchecked. Undoubtedly there is some laud in the reserves that should not have been included. It is nlso practically certain that these tracts will be re stored to entry. With the act in Problems That Confront The Irrigator. POTATO CULTURE, Vrum rtttltr' Iiullctlti No. jv lutml by the V tV !rttmtul of Agriculture. NUMllitlt 01' UVKS AND WUI011T 1'KR SKT. Many potato growers cut tubers iuto pieces containing ouc, two, or more eyes, laying greater stress on the number of eyes tlinn on the size of the cutting. Kxtensivc ex periments at the Indiana station and elsewhere prove that of the two factors, number of eyes and weight of piece, the latter is the more im portant Of course it is desirable that each piece, whether large or small, should contain at least ouc eye, and it has been generally pro fitable for it to be of such size as to contain at least several eyesi but whether it has ouc or many eyes it is important that the seed piece be heavy enough to lurtiish abundant nutriment to the shoots which spring from it. A single eye may civc rise to several stalks, for each eye is a compound bud or cluster of buds. An eye can be bisected, and each half may then grow suc cessfully if it is not a victim to which its exposed condition sub jeets it. In one series of experiments it was found that the number of stalks growing in a hill was less dependent on the number of eyes than on the size of tie seed piece whether cut or entire. In geuetnt, as the number of eyes per piece in creased each eye became less pro lific in sending up stnlks, so that there was less crowding of stalks where large seed pieces with ninny eyes were used than would lc ex pected from the large number of - . a . operation allowing homesteaders to I e'es Pa"l. Alter numerous ex periments ioiiciiiuk on nimosi file ou agricultural lands in forest reserves, there is no reason to fear that the honest homesteader will not receive fair treatment. Oregon is in a position where the welfare of her posterity demands ample protection of its water sup ply. And some day Oregon will thank President Roosevelt for his forest reserve policy. There evidently is a growing sentiment in Bend in favor of Sun day closing of business houses. The city council is now consider ing the passage of an ordinance to that effect. It is a wholsome sign. No man can work well who works seven days of the week without rest. Sunday, as a day of rest, is needed by the physical man. Sun day, as a day of recreation and religious observance, is needed by everyone. It is a conceded fact in history that when any nation or state becomes lax and loose in Us observance of the Sabbath that n moral degeneration is also found and crimes iticrcasc. The only ob jection to Sunday closing comes from those who maintain that their business will be injured. We be lieve this would prove, under trial, more a matter of fear than fact. Nevertheless there are some things in life better than accumulation of wealth, and a decent and religous observance of Sunday goes a long way toward obtaining this better part. Why not forget dollars one day of the week and look to the higher things of life? have decided to leave the congested districts of the East with their .high-priced lands aud seek oppor tunities in resourceful Oregon. And their coming means much to Oregon's future prosperity. FOREST RESERVES A ULBSSINO. A number of Western, papers are greatly wrought up. over President Koosevelt's forest reserve policy. .They condemn iu strong terms his latest additions to the nation's re-: , serves. An indignant article was .sent from a western Oregon town .tootie of the Portland dailies re garding this matter. The sum and substance' df its argument against .the president's policy was in the .statement that "a large number of' ur cititens were just ready to make iSliugs on timber claims" and wete ,thus deprived ot the opportunity to taiakf few hundred dollars. Ami, $y the way, the greatest opposition !s coming from tint clues of people. I -Jl'hq welfare of the country as aj , whole smiu not to be of much con-; ,.ctrn tb tbem as far an the forest re serve policy is concerned. , During the time .of the recent .damaging floods iu western Oregon ,nd Washington, it was truthfully .statedjhat the cutting of the timber: over Idrgfc areas was largely re-( ..sponsible for the high water.

NUMDHR Ol' CUTTINGS 1'ltK HIM.. A custom not uncommon among those who plant small cuttings is to drop two pieces iu each hill. They usually get a larger yield by so do ing than by planting single pieces, the increase generally, though not always, being sufficient to pay for the excess of seed. This docs not prove the practice profitable, for better results may be secured by planting a single piece weighing as much as the combined weight of the two pieces which would have been dropped in one hill. Thus the labor of cutting is considerably reduced and, what is more import ant, larger pieces improve the chances of getting a good stand iu nu unfavorable season 1 because they have less exposed surface than two small pieces of equivalent weight, hence urc less liable to djcy out excessively when drought fol lows planting. They are also better able to resist rotting if wet weather prevails. NUMllltR 01 STALK!) MtR IIIM,, The most common objection urged nguiust planting large seed pieces is, next to the expense, the danger of having the hills so crowd ed with stalks, nud consequently with tubers, that a larne tmmor- tion of the potatoes never develop to marketable sire- Thin objection is probably valid for entire tubers, and also for halves planted very close iu the row. The evidence available docs not permit us to conclude that iu the case of quart ers used as seed there results any injurious crowding, nud it may be questioned whether halves viVcrisc to this trouble when pi inted Under favorable conditions nud at consid erable distance apart. The number of stalks that can be advantageously grown iu each hill varies greatly with variety, season, soil, nud distance n)Mrt. At the Indiana station it was found that when uncut tubers of 1 to 5 ounce.- were planted iu hills 3 feet apart the grosi yield of large pota toes and the net yield of large pota toes increased with every increase in uie number ot stalks per lull up to 9 stalks Tor Uurlxitik nud s stalks for beauty of Hebron, grow ing iu both cases from tubers weighing 4 tf ounces IJight.j stalks per hill would probably be exces sive for distance less than 3 fuel each way. In experiments iu Maine, extending over several years, 6 stalks per hill gave laigcr yields than 4 or 3 stalks, the amount of seed planted bciuir the same In each case. As to the effects of thinning the stalks, recorded cxjcriiiietit.s nrc inconclusive, and with ordinary seed pieces it appears to be unneces sary. msTANcit nimvKiix plants. Iu deciding ou the proper dis tance at which to plant potatoes it is necessary to take into considera tion the size of the seed piece that is to be employed. In general, small seed pieces should be planted close and the distance allotted to each hill should be greater as the weight of the piece is increased Close planting for small cuttings is best attained, not by narrowing the row to less than about 24 or 3 feet (for if the distance is much less horse cultivation becomes diffi cult,) but by planting the seed close together in the row. TUMALO ITEA1S. I II. Tomioka, a young Japanese who la working iu Ileud and at the same time is acquiring an Kng lislt education iu our public schools, recently wrote an interesting com position in hi school work that touches on several A in er Jean and Japanese questions, especially the recent war talk.

John Couch is doing some exten sive improvements on his place two miles northeast of Tutnalo and it looks as if a cyclone had struck there as he has the juniper pulled 011 several acres. J. K.
