. 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.

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

POTATO CULTURE,

V tV !rttmtul of Agriculture.

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

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?

districts of the East with their
.high-priced lands aud seek oppor

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

, 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. Withj lighter Hatching

every aspect of this subject the in-
( vestigator adviicd that tubers be
cut so as to make each piece of a
coustaut size or weight, whatever
the number of eyes that might fall
to its shaie.
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.
