""Owing to the prevalence of po tato storage rot, -which in many cases at least in Eastern Oregon is due to the late blight fungus, questions are coming up in re gard to the use of such potatoes I'or seed and concerning treat ment of seed, "said Prof. F. D. JSaily, research asistant in Plant Pathology at the Oregon Agri cultural college. "On. examination of the dis- easted tubers one may find! large irregular, areas over the' surface that are darkened and! slightly sunken. The discolored part may be quite firm and on cutting it may be form a mere shell around the outer portion ;while the center remains white and sound, yet in most of the eyes the germ has been killed. Such potatoes are unfit for seed since their use will result in a -very poor stand and will produce a few plants in which blight will be carried internally until weath er conditions are favorable for for the disease to spread. While tt would not be possible to cull out every tuber containing the' blight this can be done carefully ! so that a stand may be secured and;by'following with timely ap plications of Bordeaux mixture vhe disease can be prevented. It would be desirable to use seed entirely free from blight, yet his would not insure the crop against the disease since it is scattered by spores . from one field to another. "The formaldehyde treatment that is used to control potato scab and certain other diseases will not control blight. The fact that the fungus penetrates into the tuber as it does makes it impossible to reach it with any treatment of this kind. A me thod has been devised whereby the fungus has been killed with out killing the tubers by submit ting them to a dry heat at 104 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours. This is not of practical use, however, and spraying would be necessary to prevent infection from outside in any case. "Much of the tuber blight so prevalent in storage in Western Oresjon at present is directly due to the fact that blight was pres ent in tops when the tubers were dug. They were infected at that time. If the tops had been kept covered with spray up to dig ging time this loss could have been greatly reduced and many times the total of sprayirig saved." Farm Loans at Lowest Rates.

It's a Good Letter After All Someone has advanced tho Opinion that the letter "e" Is tho most unfortunate letter In tho English alphabet, becauso It is always out of cash, forever In debt, never out of danger, and In hell all the time. For some reason, he over looked the for tunates of tho letter, so we call his attention to the fact "e" is never in war and always in peace, it is the beginning or of ease and the end of trouble.

Ho tolls this one: Ouo patient fancied there was something tho matter with his heart. His physician made a cursory examination, disclosing a largo swelling In tho patient's cardiac region. "There certainly appears to ho an extraordinary swelling right hore," said the doctor, tapping with his linger on tho patient's side. "Wo must reduce this at onco." Whereupon a faint smilo ap peared on tho patient's worried countenance. "Oh, doctor," ho exclaimed, "that swelling Is my pocket book.

Pigs Wore Worth Money. An eminent New York artist noted for the beauty of his etch ings tells one on himself. It appears that one summer while sketching in New England he made a study of a farmers bam. The farmer happenedsto appear and said he'd like to hayp the sketch. "If it Isn't tpo (ex-r pensive," he said cautiously. ,i "Oh," said the etcher, whose works bring a stiff price In the metropolitan market ,"I won't charge you anything for the sketch, but" his eye lighting on the pigpen "I II tell you what. Yon can give me one of those nice little pink pigs playing there." The farmer frowned. "Why, man!" he exclaimed, '.'do you know what those pigs are worth? They're worth a dollar apiece!" Words and Doods. An eminent Methodist bishop was advocating a moro liberal loosening of tho purse strings, and during a sermon one day told his congregation that at one timo he sent an article to a paper in which ho said: "Wo pray too loud and work too little." The Intelligent compositor did a most satisfying job, and when it appeared It read: "We bray too loud, and work too little." "I let It go at that," said tho bishop. "The fact is, 1 believe the printer was right, and I never ventured to correct him." Na tional Monthly. The legislature was treated to cider made at the Talent can nery. , Easily.

SCENE FROM "TO-DAY" AT THE EUGENE THEATRE ON Alcohol tho Poisoner General. We are glad to see the Hearst papers telling the public that "whisky Is a poison, and worse than ordinary poisons." This Is scientific truth. It won't bo long before their editorial writ ers, thinking, observing men that they are, will amend the statement by substituting the word "alcohol" for "whisky," and thus put before their readers a bigger scientific truth. The Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, meeting in Wash ington, D. C, this month, calls the dry sentiment now sweeping the country "prohibition hys teria," and declares It will "die out." We notice, however, that the long-headed retailers, as, well as the brewers and distillers, are getting ready to change their business. Two large brewing concerns in Chicago have failed within the past month.
