.Copper carbonate dust fdr con

prove it* worth in Oregon, and will
be used largely again this year. The
duet causes no injury to the seed,
does not delay germination, and per
mit* holding over treated seed if
bad weather or other condition* in
terrupt planting. For best results the
following points are stressed by the
experiment station.
Only good grade copper carbonate
should be used. Some inferior brands
are on the market, having low copper
content. It is bast to buy of reliable
dealer* who guarantee at least 85 to
90 per cent purity—47 to 50 per cent
metallic copper.
If tfi^ dust is a* fine as it should be
and is put on rightly two ounces per
bushel is enough. Every kernel must
be covered, even the brush and the
crease filled.-The dust is applied with
a mixipg machine such as described
in c: tension bulletin 381.
The grain must be well cleaned
and free from smut balls, dust and
trash. Putting it through a fanning
mill Is recommended. If very smut
ty it is not fit for seed.
The treating chamber should nut
be too full to permit wide movement
of the grain as the machine is rotat
ed. At the rate of 20 to 30 revolu
tions a minute each lot should be
treated for at least two minutes.
In seeding the dusted grain the
rate is cut down because the grain
does not swell as in liquid treatment
and neither is the germination in-
juied. At least one peck less than
the rate for liquid treated grain is
rec cm mended by the experiment sta
tion and by growers who have tried
it. The exact amount per acre is
best determined by tests made by the
grower.

For The Current Week
Frank Hagney, who plays the role
of the villian in “The Dangerous
Coward,” the attraction starring Fred
Thompson, at Moro theatre, is es
pecially well fitted for the part as he
is a chr.mpion boxer. Hagney was
for ti rce years lightheavy weight
champion of Australia, has fought
in nearly every country in the world
including South America, where two
years ago he met and defeated the
row famous Firpo, being the first
nan to evei knock out the South
American.
Hagney also held the single scul-
ling championship of Australia and
because of his athletic ability is es
pecially fitted to play opposite Fred
Thompson, world’s premier athlete.
“The Dangerous Coward” is re
plete with stirring action. The fight
between Thompson and Hagney is
•laid to be the grf*atest of its kind
ever filmed. Hazel Keenor, winner
of many beauty contests, plays the
leading feminine role.
“Oh, Doctor!” with Reginald Den
ny as star is coming to Moro theatre
Saturday. Most persons remember
with pleasure the serial of the same
name by Harry Leon Wilson, pub
lished in The Saturday Evening Post,
and in consequence are looking for
ward to seeing the screen version of
what has been called one of the most
delightful, whimsical stories pubhsh-
ed in recent years.
Denny has made for himself a
wide fame as an exponent of the
more subtle kind of humor, as well
is for his daring in thrilling scenes,
and in the latter part of “Oh, Doc-
.or!” he is given ample opportunity
¿o display his ability in the latter,
while the entire story affords op
portunity for humorous character-
ization.
The original story was acclaimed,
not alone for its delightful humor
of conception, but for its satirical
‘kidding” of a quite prevalent men-
tai quirt, known as hypochondria.
It is as a hypochondriac that Denqy
is first introduced and, as an incu
bator baby, he grows to manhood
almost .literally wrapped in cotton
batting.
