MORGAN' WELL MINERAL STILL A PUZZLE Arthur W. Campbell, son of Judge Campbell, who Is now an Instructor chemistry at the University of owa, writes the Herald that he has made chemical tests of a peculiar mineral substance found in a well being drilled on the Cutsforth ranch near Morgan last summer and has failed to solve the mystery The substance seemed to plate the steel drill bit to resemble gold. Mr. Camp bell took a sample of the drillings from the well when he went to Iowa in the fall and submitted them to several tests. One test determined that the substance is not gold and another that it is not Iron pyrites, wjiile a third test proved that no trace of copper existed. Mr. Camp bell now knows several things that the sample is not, but he is still curious to know Just what it is. Mr. Campbell enjoys his work in Iowa and found quite a colony of U. of O. people at the U. of I., there beii.g more Oregon men holding positions as instructors at Iowa than from any other school. Is measles a serious disease? Judged by the carelessness and in difference with which some parents allow their children to be exposed, it would appear to be harmless. The popular Idea is that "Willie must have measles some day, as it is one of the children's diseases, and the sooner he has it the better." This idea is obsolete and has proved to be a fallacy. In the first place Willie doesn't have to have measles any more than he has to have cholera or bubonic plague. In the second place it has been shown that most of the deaths from measles occur before the sixth year. It is also true that more deaths occur from measles than from any other infectious disease, excep tuberculosis. The death rate from measles in tiie United States is about 14 per 100,000 population. In the U. S. army in 1918 there were 38,846 cases of measles and 1,144 deaths resulted From 2 to 3 per cent of all cases of measles result fatally. In England in 1917 there were 10,500 deaths from the disease. Measles does not kill on account of the rash or high fever, but on account of complica tions. Of these the most important is pneumonia. Of 23 5 cases of mea sles occurring at Camp Cody in 1918, 77 cases or 33 per cent developed pneumonia. Of these 42 per cent died. About 4 1-2 per cent of all cases of measles terminate in pneu monia, and the pneumonia resulting fro mmeasles is the most fatal of all varieties. About 11 per cent of all pneumonia cases die, but 42 per cent of pneumonia cases resulting from measles die. Measles is a reportable disease. Every physician attending a case of measles is required by law to report Mothers who beg their physician not the same to the health officer, to report a case! of measles are plac ing him in a very embarassing posi tion. Under the law a physician who fails to report a case of measles is subject to prosecution. When there is no attending physician the duty devolves upon the head of the fam ily, or the institution in which the t;.Fc occurs, eport your cases of measles to the health officer.

BURXIXG STRAW IS LIKE BURSTING UP REAL MONEY Every ton of straw burned sends up In smoke enough plant food to cost $3.84 If bought at present prices of commercial fertilizers in western and southern Oregon. Tet more than 100,000 tons is actually burned each year to get rid of it( in the dis tricts named. It is the difficulty of spreading it on the fields that is mainly responsi ble for the burning. Where it can be used a reed and bedding by live stock it can be applied economically by the manure spreader. Otherwise it is bulky and difficult to handle by the usual means. Spreading the straw by means of an attachment to the manure spread er is now possible, says F. E. Price, soils specialist of the O. A. C. ex tension service. The attachment can be bought for $45. The humus value of the straw, making the soil more mellow and easier to work, added to the plant food value, brings the amount an nually burned in these districts to nearly a half million dollars. the average production of bntterfat was 237 pounds; second year, 265 pounds; third year, 278; fourth year, 292, and fifth, 305 pounds. At the end of this period the average cvw in these herds was yielding 6 gr more pounds of fat than the average at the beginning of the testing. At 4t cents a pound this increase of fat would save a value of $27.20 per ow, and a herd of 20 cow woult bring in $544 aore than at the beginning. CXUB MEMBERS ENTER AGRICULTURE COLLEGl COW TESTING PAYS, THE RECORDS SHOW That cow testing pays substantial returns is shown conclusively by re cords for five years compiled by the United States Department of Agricul ture. In threo well-managed asso ciations in Michigan, Ohio and Penn sylvania th(e average butterfat pro duction per cow has Increased no ticeably every year. The first 'year The enrollment of Michigan Agri cultural ollege this year is 8.4 per cent former boys' and girls' cluk members, according to a recent sur vey by the college. The highest pro portion is in the freshman class, 10.7 per cent. Thero are altogether this year 130 students in this agricultural college who, having previously learn ed in their club work the practice of methods of farming and homo making which research and experi ence have found best, wish to g further in the study of the science of agriculture. Club work in Michi gan, as in other states, became a considerable feature of agricultural extension about 1914, so that any impetus given by it to interest in tha study of agriculture is probably only beginning to be manifest in an ap preciable degree, eports for 1922 show over 18,000 Michigan boys and girls enrolled in agricultural clubs, over 60 per cent of which finished all the work included in the year's club schedule.

Co-operative bull associations are helping hundreds of farmers to im prove the production of their dairy cows at a low cost, according to the United States Department of Agri culture. Last year these associa tions in the country Increased 15 per cent in number, showing that they are making steady progress. In Idaho the number increased from 9 In 1922 to 29 In 1923. Records show that In these associations the bulls have been, greatly increasing the pro duction of daughters over their dams. Seventy such daughters whose rec ords have been compiled showed an average increase over their dams of 22.22 per cent in milk yield and 25.21 per cent in butterfat production. O. A. C.
