Corvallis, Ore., March 14. Faced
by an annual loss of about $150,000
annually from brown rot of prunes,
growers In different parts of Oregon
hare planned demonstration spraying
under the auspices of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College Extension Service.
A series of these demonstrations was
conducted In the Roseburg district
last year with very favorable results,
and will be repeated this year in the
Dallas district.
The first spray of the series will
be aplied as the young buds are push
ing out and turning white, probably
about March 31. N. S. Guy has pro
mised to lend an outfit for the work
and sprays will be appllde to the or
chard of R. L. Chapman as necessary
throughout the season.
Growers of prunes and other stone
fruits subject to brown rot are now
working hard for the success of these
demonstrations. W. S. Brown, who
is in charge, conducted the demon
strations last year, and is devoting
much of his time to the study of this
disease, which is growing worse and
calls for careful attention.

Lexington (Farmer Being Son And
letter's Two Chums At Own
Expense to Office.
(Portland Oregonian)
The United States Navy is gainer
to the extent of five strapping re
cruits, just at a time when it needs
them most, because C. A. Johnson,
of Lexington, Or., is a naturalized ci
tizen and feels he owes a patriotic
duty to his adopted country. .
Mr. Johnson brought his son and
two husky chums from Lexington t
the United States Navy recruitin?
oiflce in the Dekum building, Port
land to enlist in the Navy. He
paid the railroad fares and their ex
penses at a hotel, out of his own
pocket.
Just before they went up to enlist
they met two other stalwart lads
from their home town. Mr. Johnson
.explained to them the advantages of
serving in the United States Navy
and the upshot of it was that they
enlisted too.
They all Ave went up with Mr.
Johnson to see Lieutenant-Commander
J. H. Blackburn, U. S. N.,
in charge of the Navy recruiting
station in Portland.
"They're all for Uncle Sam," said
Mr. Johnson. "There is another son
at home and you can have him if you
need him. I want him to finish high
school, but my country comes first
with me." ,
All Fine Specimens Physically.
Did they pass the physical exam
ination? They did. Lieutenant
Commander' Blackburn says he never
seen better physical specimens than
these five stalwart farmer boys.
"Mr. Johnson is a true patriot,"
said, Lieutenant-Commander Black
burn. "I hope to hear from more
men like him, for the Navy must
have recruits. In case of war, the
Navy, will be the country's first line
of defense. Several fine ships are
out of commission for the reason that
there are not enough men in the
Navy to man them. The need of re
cruits is imperative."
Recruiting figures for the Port
land station show a steady increase
In the past few months. In Decem
ber, 63 men were accepted here, In
February there were 75 and last
month the number was 82.

Sophomore Co-Eds Volunteer For
First Aid and Nursing Men
Equipped For Special
Service.
Boar&nan
University of Oregon, Eugene,
i March, 21. Women of the Univer
sity of Oregon are not behind the
men of the institution in their desire
to be of service to the country in case
of war. This is indicated in res
ponses given by girls of the sopho
more class to requests for data to be
supplied the war department.
Blanks for this information were
distributed among the various class
es this week. It had 'not been in
tended to present them to the girls,
but a number that happened to reach
the sophomore women were signed in
a way that Indicated a real willing
ness to serve. Most of the igrls ex
pressed a preference for work in first
aid, nursing or cooking. Many of
them evinced willingness to begin
service at a moment's notice.
The collection of the. data con
cerning students and alumni avail
able for service is being handled by
Ben. H. Williams, representing the
Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau,
which is working under the direction
of the war department. Mr. Wil
liams is assisted by a joint faculty
and student committee, consisting of
Dr. Warren D. Smith, Dr. E. C. Rob
bing, Don Belding, of Grants Pass,
and Lewis Beebe, of Eugene.
The responses made by the men of
the University indicate a considera
ble variety of talent available for
the Bervice to the government. A
mong the special lines of work for
which Oregon men would volunteer
are aviation, motor driving, ambul
ance work .wireless operating, medi
cine, dentistry, map-reading, and a
wide-range of scientific activities.
Information is being collected on the
age, physique, military or naval
training, hobbies, athletic activities
and qualifications for special of the
men of the University- This infor
mation has not yet been complied,
but enough has been learned to indi
cate a very general disposition to res
pond to any call made by the govern
ment. The replies appear to Indi
cate a wider knowledge of Spanish
than of any other foreign language,
but German seems to stand next.

Newspapers and the Chiropractics.
Newspapers should have a little
self-respect. They ought to look
twice at their advertisements before
accepting or printing them. Texas
country papers are chock full of Chi-
I ropractic ads and some of the city
papers have stooped to accepting
such space fillers.
Chiropractic methods were framed
up by D. D. Palmer of Davenport, la.,
in 1895, and the announcement was
made that Palmer had discovered a
method of removing the cause of di
sease, (without the use of drugB or
surgery, ) by a simple method of
push buttons or spinal adjustments.
Palmer was not looked upon with a
great amount of favor at the time
and his methods are still regarded as
pure bunk. People, who need nurs

are fakers and in almost every case
hide behind the "sheep skin" of a
lazy, worthless quack.
