general Protestant and Non-Sectarian
Committee for Freedom
in Education, with headquarters
in the Consolidated Securities
building, Portland, voices the
universal sentiment of educators
thus lar heard from when he
says:
"This hill (compulsory educa
tion, so-called) should be en
titled, 'A Hill to Make Impos
sible the American System cf
I'ducition in Oregon!' It is
fundamentally un-American in
its principle and purpose and
should he ove. v. holmingly de
feated." Many college and university
prisiih iits, after reading the bill,
which is to he voted upon
November 7, have wrHten the
committee, severely condemn
ing the measure, according to

Military academy, committee ex

Campbell saw here In connnctlon

shows that the real advantage, of
careful preparation of I he soil he

generally fully considered and

prove this more convincingly than
the soli auKer.
"It Is very desirable, so far as
possible, to not only carry the high
porceutafvo of moisture at the top of
tho firm soil, immediately below
Ihe mulch, but also to induce frei
access of air throughout tho entirs
growing s.uison. 'Ihe ideal condi
tion to furnish this . ir is to cover
the firm soil with a frranular mulch,
neither too flue nor too coarse. To
obtain thiti Ideal mulch, the culti
vation must bn lone when the soli
is moist-'-not wot or dry. The
loosened soil soon dries, leaving
(ho firm soil moist to the top. Thls
1h usually easy to obtain in sandy
soils, but to do this properly in
heavy soils it is sometimes neces
sary to ko over tho Held a second
time, after first soinK over just
enoitch to loosen the top when the
surface It, simply dry enough not
to stick. This prevents the crust
ine; or drylns out. Then the second
operation should come one to four
days later, after the free water has
Rono down, leaving the soil moist,
when It more readily separates,
and makes a finer and much mora
effective mulch. This procedure
means much to the tree, as a
hhdier precentapc of moisture Is
held In the root zone and a crust
Iiik aril cloddy mulch Is prevented.
