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idea is obsolete and has proved to be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.

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

girls enrolled in agricultural clubs,
over 60 per cent of which finished
all the work included in the year's
