The old stunt of "farming the far mer" by meant of a fake contagious abortion remedy has again appeared in Oregon, Tarns P. M. Brandt, chief in dairying, and Dr. T. B. Sims, head veterinarian here. This time the old "Bowman's Abortion Remedy," suppressed by the government, seems to be revived in unlabeled packages shipped from the "Bowman Labora tory and Milling company." As it is being sold through the mail by means of allegedly untruthful cir culars, the government is trying to obtain a denial of mail permit from the postoffice department, local of ficials are informed. Leading scientists of the world are seeking a real remedy, which, if it is ever found, will be quickly given to the public. About 18 manufac turers of so-called cures have been forced to discontinue sales or re vise their labels. Effective methods of control, but not of cure, have been developed by this and other ex periment stations. It is extremely important that all alfalfa and red clover seed be tested for purity. Many samples of legumes seed carry dodder. Last spring 22 per cent of the alfalfa seed samples tested at the Oregon Experiment sta tion laboratory contained dodder, a parasitic plant which practically ruins the yield of either alfalfa or red clover. Cutting down the amount of hay and giving a succulent feed to sheep in districts where large bands are fed, is very desirable, finds the ex periment station. Succulent feeds have a mild laxative effect which is quite beneficial to the breeding ewe. Allowing the sheep out to graze when possible is another point in manage ment which from now on may save considerable loss at lambing time. WEEVILS L RUGS. At this time of year, housewives usually become alarmed because they find numerous small gray weevils in their pantry or in other parts of the house, says the entomology de partment of the Oregon experiment station. These pests resemble the Buffalo Carpet beetles which are very destructive to rugs, upholstering or other fabrics. Before becoming un duly alarmed, an experiment should be made of the pantry supply of peas and beans as the pest is more likely to be the bean or pea weevil than any other pest. Now is a good time to clean seed for spring planting. All dirt, chaff and weed seeds are best removed from seed grain. The ordinary fanning mill which is found on most farms will clean grain satisfactorily for seed purposes. It pays big to sow clean seed. SMALLPOX AGAIN. (From State Board of Health) An outbreak of smallpox in a board ing school in this state makes it nec essary for us to call attention to the danger of allowing children to attend school without vaccination. For the past twenty-five or thirty years, smallpox has been, comparatively, of a very mild type all over the United States. As a result people have lost the wholesome respect which former ly prevailed for this disease. This has led to a laxness in vaccination and as a result several epidemics of old time severity have appeared in many parts of the United States. Smallpox is one of the most dread ed of all diseases. This is because it is extremely infectious, frequently fatal and usually disfigures the skin with deep scars or pock marks. Dur ing the prevaccination period, one out of every ten or twelve deaths was due to smallpox. The danger of smallpox among an unvaccinated population must not be lost sight of. The New England and Atlantic states have laws which require vac cination of all school children. In localities where this law is enforced smallpox rarely appears among the native population. The inhabitants of such a community are compara tively safe, but this does not pre clude the unvaccina'ed element hav ing the disease. In 1924, virulent smallpox appeared in one of the large mid-western cities and it was signif icant to note that the disease did not occur among those who had been suc cessfully vaccinated within seven years. Ten percent of the cases were among those whose vaccinations were very old, which proves that vaccina tion once in a lifetime, to those ex posed to the disease is not sufficient. Ninety percent of the cases were Kidnapping Victim fx-?

No further argument should be necessary to establish the perfect protection which is secured against smallpox when vaccination and revaccination are universally followed. Without vaccination no means of control has any appreciable effect on this disease. Oregon is not so completely isolat ed from the remainder of the world that each man, woman or child should not be revaccinated against smallpox about every seventh year. The best and only effective way of preventing and controlling smallpox is vaccination. People who neglect to be vaccinated are dangerous citi zens. Their presence in a commun ity in any number may cause a se vere outbreak of this dreaded dis ease at any time. Smallpox would be eradicated from Oregon if every one understood the importance of vaccination. Topics for Oriental Essay Contest Given University of Jrepon, Eugene. Subjects for the Murray Warner Essav Contest have been announced by Dr. Warren V. Smith, head oi the geol'ogy department, who is chairman of a newly appointed com mittee for the promotion of the es sav contest. A total of $o50 has been offered by Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner for prizes. "What difficulties, social, com mercial, or political, exiBt between the United States and the countries of the Far East, and how may they be removed?" is the general topic that has been given for the contest this year. Previously a wide range was al lowed in subjects chosen. Special topics having to do with United States and Oriental relations will be considered by the julges, how ever, if treated logically and clefin ately, the committee has decided. Students of different nationalities are expected to discuss particularly the relations between the United States and their respective coun tries. That is, while students of the United States will discuss the rela tions between this country and any or all the Orient, Japanese students will confine themselves to the rela tions between the United States and Japan. RUSSIAN SONGS TO BE HEARD AT SPRING CONCERT A fascinating group of littie-heard Russian songs will feature the con cert of the women's glee club of the Univerxitj of Oregon, according to plans now being made by Eugene 'lun. director. Ornamental trees and shrubs fre quently become infested with San Jose scale and other scale insects. These pests are controlled by spray ing with the standard lime sulfur so lution or oil emulsions. Lime sul fur 12-100 is probably the best spray to use. The house gardener will find many helpful hints for the control of insects, in experiment station cir cular 65, "Insect Pests of Truck and Garden Crops." It will be mailed free on application to the State Col lege experiment station. John Cason is able to be about town again after being confined at his Jiome in this city by Illness for several weeks. CAMPFIRE NEWS. The three grlups of Campfire girls have spent the month of December preparing a box for the Ming Twong Chinese Girls' home in Oakland, Cal. This project was brought to a close last week and the boxes were sent. The Nawetompatimmin group or the high school group, under the direc tion of Mrs, Walter Moore, dressed dolls for the kindergarten group. There are sixty girls in this home, ranging from 18 months to 19 years. A present was sent to each, with a few extras in case there should be some new girls. As a result the girls mailed two large packages or 70 gifts to the home. In addition to this, the girls have been busy practising Christmas car ols in preparation for their caroling Christmas eve. Wednesday, December 21, the guar dians of the three groups entertained the three groups of the Campfire at a meeting conducted entirely by the guardians. Mrs. Lucy Rodgers acted as president, Mrs. Stanley Moore as secretary, Mrs. Walter Moore, scribe, Miss Phelps musician. Following the meeting the entire group prac tised their carols and then weTe en tertained with a popcorn feast. The girls feel quite proud of their record for three months since this organization was started here. To date the records show: S campfire groups, with an entire enrollment of thirty-seven girls and four guardians. The Nawetampatimmin group with 9 members, Mrs. Walter Moore, guar dian; the Cheskamay group, 7 mem bers, Mrs. Stanley Moore, guardian; the Aloha-hanta group, 21 members, Miss Phelps guardian, Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, assistant guardian. During this period these three groups have earned about $85 which has gone to cover the initiation fees, and the equipment necessary for each 1 ENROLL ANYTIME In America'i GOLD MEDAL SchooL Within a few raortehs you can be earn ing money, in a position with a future.
