Burns to Celebrate July 4th
Patriotic Addresees, Band Concerts,
Ball Game and Athletic Sports,
Fire Works and a Big Dance
Burns will make the EiirIo
scream for ono day at least this
year and committees are now
busy working out tho details of
the program. There will bo a
ball game in tho afternoon fol
lowed by sports for the boys and
girls on the street, a grand dis
play of lire works, band concert
and a big dance. This was de
cided at a meeting of tho Busi
ness Men's Club held Wednesday
evening.
The local ball team has been
trying lo get a series of games
with some outside team for that
date and this has caused the de
lay in ' tarting definite steps to
ward a celebration. It seems
that all our neighboring towns,
Drewsey, Prairie, Bend, Prine
ville, in fact all the places where
there are ball teams, have en
gagements for -that date and no
outside team was available, there
fore we are going to have a bat
tle between local teams in the
afternoon. Burns has always
celebrated on the fourth for
many years and the people of
this section are not to be disap
pointed this year in that respect.
In fact it is going to be just a
little better this year than ever
and all the events crowded into
one day and one night
Present plans are to have a
short literary and musical pro
gram in the forenoon at Tonawa
ma Theatrcconsistingof patriot
ic addrescs and music by the
Tonawama Band. A band con
cert on the street to follow the
lunch hour and then go to the
base ball grounds for a game be
tween two well matched teams;
after the ball game there will be
foot races, jumping, tug of war
and other athletic sports on the

THE POTATO FLEA BEETLE
PEST IN OREGON
Agricultural College Warns Against
Epitrii Subscrlnlla on Spuds and
Oilier Hants, Tho Spray
A warning against tho ravnjrcs
of EpitrixSubscrinita, tho West
ern Potato Flea Beetle, is bointf
issued by A. L. Lovott, assistant
cntonoliuist at the Oregon Agri
cultural College.
"Ono of tho serious posts of
tho potato and tomato plants at
this time is tho western potato
fleo beetle," says Mr. Lovott.
"This inBect, properly known
as Epitrix Subscrinitn, occurs at
this timo as a small, dark brown
beetle feeding on tho foliage of
its host.
"It eats characteristic, small,
irregular holes in tho leaves and
has tho ability to jump quickly
like a Ilea when disturbed.
"The puncture which the beetle
makes in the leaf, whilo serious
in itself, becomes even more
detrimental, duo to tho fact that
a fungus diseaso gains ready en
trance through these injured
cells and causes a decaying of
the tisstiu for a greater or leas
distance.
"Tho female will commenco
depositing eggs later, about .the
base of their host. In tho case
of tho potato, the larvae hatching
from theso eggs feed on tho de
veloping tubers. They mine into
tho potato usually tunneling only
n short distance beneath tho sur
face and turning again to tho ex
terior. The effect of their work
is to give the potato a pimply ap
pearance which sometimes ser
iously affects the selling qualities.
"Tho spray to be used for this
flea beetle is a combination Bordeaux-lead
arsenate spray. It is
prepared by suspending -1 lbs. of
copper sulfate in a gunny sack
at tho top of a barrel in 25 gals,
of water. Then G lbs. of Iimo iB
slaked in a small quantity of wa
ter and mado up into n 25 gal.
solution. Then the two solu
tions, 50 gals, in all, are poured
simultaneously into a spray tank,
and stirred vigorously mean
while. Good fresh lime must be
used, and should always be in
excess. Only wooden vessels
should bo used in handling Bor
deaux mixture. The pump should
have braBS parts or be brass linep
throughout. To this solution
should be added 2 lbs of arsenate
of lead and mix it thoroughly.
It may be used at normal strength
for potatoes, but 10 more gallons
of water should be added for
tomatoes. Either of the solu
tions used alone is fairly sufll
dicnt. If only lead arsenate is
used, appiy ut tho rate of 2 lbs.
to 50 gals- of wator."

Agricultural College Extension Man
Talks School Fair and Back to
The Soil in Harney County
N. C. Maria of tho Exlonsion
department of tho Oregon Agri
cultural Collego has been doing
good work throughout tho county
during tho past week toward
educating tho younger genera
tion in agriculture. Mr. Maris
nun uwvii luittuiuiK vn tuu niutu
wide movemont having for its
object a greater interest in farm
ing. Wo is talking tho school
childrcns industrial contest which
State Supt. Alderman and others
ltna lntit IstW iivi r i Uit ntntn'
havo inaugurated. Ho has been
telling tho children and their
parents the importance of this
move and what will bo the final
result.
As tho children are tho hopo of
the nation and agriculture is tho
cornerstone of our stability and
prosperity, so must tho children
ho tho key to the situation in
dignifying and popularizing agri -
culture. It is the early lesson
that makes the deep and lasting
impression. Upon this principle
we must work to make farmers
of our children not by driving
them to it, but by interesting
them and teaching them the sci
ence and benutica of agriculture;
by teaching them how to grow
things by their own elforls. And
to stimulate this effort school
fairs are to bo held in each coun
ty in tho stato and prizes given
to the children who do the best
in raising and making things.
Through this method of stimu
lating interest it is hoped that
many of tho children will learn
to love tlio soilnnd its products
and will continue in this work
for the joy of achievement and
that they will thus bo influenced
to decide for tho farm as theirs
future home instead of the city.
Personal ownership for the child
and more pleasant, attractive
surroundings and moro amuse-!
ments were some of tho essential
elements necessary to keep the
children on tho farm, emphasized
by Mr. Maris. Ho said tho policy
of "the boy's pig and the father's
hog" was too generally followed.
The lack of pcrsonnl ownership,
he said, has blasted tho hopes and
ambitions of many a boy und
driven him from the homo and
tho farm in disgust and discour
agement. If you give a boy a
pig, a calf or a colt, let him sell
it when ready for market and
allow him to buy more stock with

The lecturo nt tho Orpheum
Thursday evening was well at-
toHdcd and those present showed
much interest. Two moving pic
ture films Hint of the stock show
at tho last stato fair and one of
the Portland stock ynrdB, were
thrown on the serene at the close
of tho lecture. Mr. Maria ex
plained tho different views as
they passed. Ho loft yesterday
morning for Grant county.
This is the first timo Mr. Maris
has ever visited Harney county
and ho was most favorably im
pressed with its magnitude. The
largo amount of agricultural land
was hia greatest surprise and the
, magnificent growth of crops was
a source of much comment from
him. He said that if wo confin
ued to havo rains as we had dur-
ing his stay here the term dry
farming would bo a mis-nomer.
Tho Silvies irrigation project was
one of the thing he took most
interest in as he could see the
vast area that can bo covered by
the water now going to waste.
"It is really a stigma on the
fair name of this county that you
aro shipping in here annually
$25,000 worth of pork when con
ditions are so good for its pro
duction. It is very much to the
credit of tho Harney County Na
tional Bank that it is undertak
ing to remedy this condition by
importing brood sows to be sup
plied to tho farmers at actual
cost." says Mr. Maris. "The
high jirico of cattle during the
past two years has depleted the
cattle population of the county
h,y about half, I understand, nnd
this has given your range nnd
' pasture a chance to build up. It
will come handy now.
It would surprise you to know
of tho great good that is being
done by Chamberlain's Tablets.
Darius Downey, of Ncwberg
Junction, N. B., writes, "My
wife has been using Chamber
lain's Tablets and finds them
vory effectual and doing her lots
of goods." If you have any trou
bio with your stomach or bowels

PORTLAND ENTERTAINS THOUSANDS.
(Portlnnd Correspondent.)
Portland is busy this week en
tertaining its guests from outside
points, both in Oregon and out
side tho stato lines. Thousands
of visitors aro thronging the city,
enjoying the annual Rose Festi
val, its varied entertainments,
parades and show of prize roses.
Never before has the annual
event been on such a large scale,
with such attractive features and
the number of visitors is greater
than at nny previous Festival.
Each year this flower fete grows
in importance nnd interest. Busi
ness men arc keeping open house
and entertaining their out-of-town
customers, while practically
every household in the city has
guests from the outside who have
come to see the festival. Seattle
has sent a big delegation of boost
ers and from far Pasadena comes
a motor car to be entered in the
decorated nuto parade.
Central Oregon came in for
considerable praise the past week
from immigration officials of the
Great Northern Railway who
completed an extended tour
through Harney, Lake and Crook
counties. They spoke in the
highest terms of the. country tra
versed and predict it will produce
immense wealth when properly
settled. To bring more people
to this idle land is their avowed
intention.
Oregon dogwood, the graceful
tree that fills our woods with its
beautiful star flowers in spring
and Bummer, will be introduced
at Teplitz, a watering place in
Germany. Both seed and young
trees have been sent abroad upon
roqueBt as the management of
this resort has heard of this at
tractive tree and wants to plant
it there.
Tho biggest single shipment of
packing house products for an
Alnska customer ever mado left
Portland recently by special train
for Tacomn whore it will bo put
aboard a refrigerator vessel and
re-shipped north. The shipment
amounted to 400,000 pounds of
frozen meats, valued at over $50,
000. Tho meat will be kept
frozen until used. Heretofore,
such big shipments have been
supplied by eastern packers but
Oregon in now able lo fill these
orders.
Development of n big water
power plant on tho Coquille river,
south of Myrtlo Point, involving
tho investment of $1,000,000 of
Oregon capital, was announced
during tho week. It is nronoscd
to Bupply light and electricity to
all tho cities in Coos County nnd
it is said that work will go for
