BILKED WITH ABORTION CURE.
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

among those who had never been
vaccinated. 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

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.

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
