SHORTHAND CLASS REVIEW.
The pupils of the shorthand class
are beginning to despair of having
anything left of their characters
and words. They are learning to
omit vowels and consonants and fin-
illy various words, so that more
speed may be gained. The omis
sions are splendid when the stu
dents are taking dictation, but
when they are forced to read what
they have so fluently written well,
the trouble begins. However, they
have not lost confidence. Only
few weeks ago they were nearly
nerve wracked when they transcrib
ed their first letter on the typewri
ter from their shorthand notes, and
now they actually like it
The members of this distinct
group are Margaret Smith, Flor

THICKENING THIN STAND
DIFFICULT WITH ALFALFA
It is not economical to try thick
ening a poor stand of alfalfa, finds
the experiment station, except when
thin patches or strips may be disk
ed and resown. The best method
is to plow and crop the land with
grain for a year or two before re
seeding. A poor stand of new crop may
sometimes be improved by the ad
dition of seed if th soil is loose
and moist enough to insure germin
ation and growth. Seeding with a
disk drill is usually the most cer
tain as the seed is covered more
uniformly resulting in more prompt
and even germination. Good re
sults have been obtained by scat
tering seed early in the spring when
small cracks appear In the ground,
and covering with a weighted har
row. The first crop is cut high to
avoid killing the young plants.
A thin seeding of oats and barley
over a field reduced by winter kill
ing or other causes usually pro
duces a good crop of hay.
In order to obtain maximum re
turns from the use of commercial
fertilizers in increased yields per
acre, several soil factors are of
vital importance. Experimental
work at the state college, by the
soils department shows thorough
drainage, adequate moisture, good
supply of organic matter, lime and
acid soils, good seed, and good cul
tural practices as well as good sea
son to be vital factors.
Keeping freshly cut seed pieces
in the dark results in better stands
of potatoes, find the experiment
station. Sunlight usually Injures
them when freshly cut By keep
ing them well moistened a thick
covering is formed on the cut sur
face serving as a protection from
sunlight and rot. When handled in
this way seed often remains in good
condition in the soil during the en
tire growing season.
Apple aphds will soon make their
appeal ance in Oregon. The stand
ard spray for aphlds is nicotine sul
phate, three-quarters of a pound to
100 gallons of solution, applied in
the pie-pink of late dormant stage,
says the experiment station. Betr
ter results are obtained some years
by delaying this application until
the early pink stage or until the
blossom buds are separate from
each other.
