TELLS CORRECT METHOD TO MOW COUNTY'S HAY According to R. B. Coglon, Lane county agriculturalist, the methods by which the farmers harvest the hay Is wrong and he Is advising them of more scien tific basiB. The haying season Is already under way. Ills method Is especially ap plicable to tho clover. He states that tho general practice is to leave tho clover hay cut down so long that it drys and bleaches until tho leaves fall off. According to tho agriculturist this practice is wrong, as the leaves, which contain tho great est nutriment and food value, fall off and the value of tho hay la practically lost. Ho suggests that tho hay bo mowed early In the morning and that as soon after as posslblo it should be raked into wlnrows, rather than let 11c In swaths. .As soon as It Is dry. but not too tough to handle on tho fork, It should bo put In hay cocks and allowed to remain there for a day or two. However, ho warns against tho extremes. Ho places stress upon tho importance of stow itm hay correctly to prevent mow burning, air. Coglon says that It should bo spread ovenly and tramped upon.

WILLAMETTE-PACIFIC THE ONLY S. P. CONSTRUCTION IN OREGON THIS YEAR Manager Campbell Declares Problem is to Build Up Territory Along Lines Already Built Portland, June 10. D. W. Campbell, assistant general man ager In charge of the northern district of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters in Portland, returned here Sunday to get ac quainted all over again with his home city. Representing the company at the conference be tween officials of 58 Western railroads and their mplayes, and later at the meetings of a board of arbitration, Mr. Campbell has been in Portland not quite two months in the last 10. He has remained actively in charge of his district just the same, for ho took a secretary to Chicago with him and handled by telegraph all matters requhv ing his attention. Regarded from ovory viewpoint, the 13 months he put in at the confer ence and arbitration sessions were anything but a pleasant little vacation period. ' "I was in Chicago so long, they wanted to make me pay taxes there," said Mr. Campbell grimly, after he and Mrs. Camp bell, who had been In the East with him for the last six months, had got comfortably settled at homo. "There Is little to say about the findings of the arbitration board. They are seemingly sat isfactory to both the railroads and the employes. No forecast jas to how they will work out can ibe made until they have been tried for a few months, but we hope that, after careful consid eration they 'can be adopted permanently. By the agreement made before the board met, both railroads and employes must abide by these findings for one year, or until May 1, 191G." Mr. Cambpell said that a more substantial feeling than there was a year ago is noticablo in tho Middle West, and that there Is general sentiment. that busi ness conditions are better. He said that ho found many persons who expected to como West in tho Summer and especially next Fall, after the harvesting Is com- ' Beaver-Hemdon Hardware Company pleted. "Almost everybody who Is fig uring on taking a vacation ex pects to come out to see the San Francisco fair," he said; "and the fair is certainly worth seeing. Mrs. Campbell and I were 'in San Francisco a few days, and we found it beautiful and unique among expositions. I have seen a lot of xpositions, but none that I have liked so well. Nobody in the Northwest should fall to see it" Mr. Campbell ' said railroad construction generally will be in abeyance this year. "The railroads are well sup plied -with new lines," he ex plained. ''What we'need Is bet ter development of the lines al ready built. No new construc tion will be undertaken by the Southern Pacific in Oregon this year, for we feel that we have plenty of lines here mow. Devel nient of these lines, and of the country they tap is the import ant thing at present. "Construction of the Wil lamette Pacific to Marshfield will be pushed forward without cessation until it is .finished. That probably will be about , the latter part of December. As soon as I have time to attend to many nressinjr matters that have been awaiting my return here, I expect to make a trip over the Willamette Pacific, In specting not only the portion of the 'line already completed, but the new construction work. Only about 35 miles of the road remain to be put in shape for the laying of steel, but there is . i some very neavy construction on that end." Mr. Campbell hopes to remain in Portland until the end of the month at least. He left Portland to attend the wage conference in Chicago on February 14, 15)14, anu amn t get back to Portland until about the middle of October. On Nov ember 1 he went back to attend tho arbitration hearings and was there continuously until May 1. Well Known Athletes Take Off Their flats to tho Reach brand of sporting goods.

Eugene Will Entertain People From Country The committee recently ap pointed to arrage for a Fourth of July celebration in Eugene, last week decided that Eugene should celebrate on Monday, July 5, and allow the smaller places about the county to cele brate on Saturday, July 3, so that they may attend their own celebrations and then come to Eugene for the big show if they desire. The committee announces that the celebration this year will be for the entertainment of the country people. A program that will please them and keep them busy during the day will be arranged. It Is probable that one or two special trains will be run on the S. P. branches to ac commodate the people living at a distance. A large number of Sluslaw people are said to have signified their intention of com ing to Eugene that day. With the extension of the railroad as far as Mapleton during the year they can very conveniently cele brate in Eugene, whereas in for mer times they seldom ever came to Eugene on that occa sion. The committee will name a Goddess of Liberty before the celebration and will not hold a contest like the one last year. Raise Infertile Eggs. It 'is conservatively estimated that there is an annual loss in eggs in this country of $45,000,- 000.00. Practically all of this enormous loss is sustained by the farmers of this country,' as it is on the general farms that the great bulk, of eggs is pro duced. A very great part of this loss "can "be prevented by the production of infertile eggs, which are laid by hens that do not have a male bird with them. The male bird has no influence whatever on the number of eggs laid. Therefore, as soon as the hatching season is over the male flock. The greatest trouble from blood rings in eggs occurs in hot weather. Special care should be given to the gather ing and storing of the eggs dur ing the late spring and summer months. At these times the eggs should be gathered at least two times a day, placed .in a room or cellar where the temperature does not rise above 70 degrees P., and marketed two or three times a week. Blood rings are caused by the development of the embryo of a fertile egg and its subsequent death. It is impossible to hatch an infertile egg or cause a blood ring to form in one.- It is gen erally considered that eggs be come infertile from 7 to 14 days after the male bird is removed from the flock. Repeated ex periments have shown that where fertile and infertile eggs are kept under similar condi tions, the fertile eggs spoiled much quicker, due to the fapt that they deteriorate faster than infertile eggs in the average summer temperature. Summer heat has tho same effect as the hen or incubator on fertile eggs. Sell, WH, or confine tho ,mnle bird as soon as tho hatching season is over.

TO TEACH MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS Miss Boeson Offers Proposition Which is Tentatively Accept ed by Board of Education Mrs. McLean Resigns. The proposition submitted by 'Miss Boeson to devote her time for two days a week during the first semester for teaching mu sic in the Springfield schools, was accepted by the board of education at its meeting Mon day night. Miss Boe3on has. a plan which she wishes to dem onstrate at no expense to tho district, and the board expressed a willingness to have the plan tried out under these conditions, if it can be made agreeable to the grade teachers, whose co operation is sought. The board,' however, reserves the right to terminate the agreement at "any time. The resignation of Mrs. Vina McLean, who taught a class of grade pupils in the high school building, was accepted, but no one was elected to fill the vacan cy. This "will come up at an adjourned meeting of the board on JuJne 16. The' board also authorized the auditing of the clerk's books, the work to be done' before the annual school meeting of June 21, and will have D. S. Beals do the work Final bills for the school year were audited. WjUianrHin Able to Sit' Up a Bit William Hill, who was so ser iously injured at the Booth Kelly mill last Friday afternoon was able to sit up for a time to day at the Eugene hospital, where he is- receiving treatment. There were some rumors early in the week that he. was in a serious condition, but on jthe contrary he is making a very re markable recovery.
