Applications of potash, phosphate, sulphate and nitrate fertilizers this year have yielded results of practi cal value on Oregon farms, as shown In the experiments carried on by the soils department of the Oregon State College experiment station in cooperation with growers and coun ty agents. The value of these trials Increases with time and where well located, they are maintained indefinitely as fundamental in developing methods of permanently and economically maintaining soil fertility, says Dr. W. L Powers, chief in soils at O.S.C. Use the potash on peat where mint is grown on the Herrold ranch at Lake Labish near Salem has giv en most striking results during the past season. Potassium sulfate at the rate of one pound per square rod has trebled the yield of mint hay and oil. The quality of oil was al so Increased by fertilization last year, chemical tests showed. This treatment resulted in the mint with standing a destructive freeze much better. The yield was correspond ingly Increased during the second season from last year’s application. Phosphate gave a good crop in crease with small grains on the Hogg and Domes ranchee in Polk county and gave a marked increase in the yield of field peas grown on the Willamette loam on the Hagg Brothers place near Reedville. Phos phate has resulted in increased seed yield and earlier maturity on corn plots of the permanent fertilizer ex periment fields in the vicinity of Corvallis. The yields have been almost doub led by the use of calcium sulfate (landplaster) on red and ladino clo ver grown on the east college farm on Chehalis loam. Need of sulfates is also apparent from the yields se cured on red hill soil type known as Olympic silt loam In cooperative fer tilizer experiments at the Gilbert farm. In a fertilizer trial on the Miller | Brothers’ ranch on Amity silt loam | Just north of McMinnville early spring application of calcium nitrate costing at the rate of *1.65 an acre made an Increase of 18 bushels of wheat, or a marked decrease In unit cost. U. 0. STUDENTS SEEK OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP. ----- “; I FIGHTING BULLDOGS HOLD OPPONENTS SCORELESS, 0-0 LOCALS STRONG ON DEFENSIVE; PASSES INTERCEPTED. Average Yardage Close for Both Teams ; Punting Pair Spoil Scoring Possibilities. By Burke Doyle. The Bulldogs again held Heppner o a close score of 0-0 in the big Ar- nistice day game at Arlington Sat- :rday, which was close to the final ame of the season for them. There s a possibility that two more games vili be played but no date has defl- itely been set. As the opening whistle blew Her- niston kicked off to Thomas, Hep ner’s flashy quarterback. The ball was downed on Heppner's 20 yard ine for a very small return. It was then Heppner’s ball, first nd ten, on their own 20 yard line, leppner tried several line bucks in he proceeding downs but the strong and charging Bulldog defense line eld them for very little gain. A ser es of passes followed this. The pas- : es also were unsuccessful. Harris, ulldog fullback, intercepted two of Ieppner’s long passes and made ood yardage on both. Fred Hensel, try half for Hermiston also showed ery good on intercepting and re timing passes. The first quarter ended, as did the ame, scoreless. The ball had sea- awed from one end of the field to he other, during the first part, with one team gaining about as nuch yardage as the other. The sec- nd quarter found Heppner threat- ’ nfng to score several times, but the trong line and secondary defense of lermiston held, . and Clark Paul unted them out of dangerous terrl ory. During this quarter Paul and Thomas displayed some wonderful unts for both teams. During the third and fourth quar- ters both teams fought harder; Her- niston outcharged Heppner to some xtent, but were unable to score. Veils returned a punt for Hermiston bout 12 yards, and gains after that vere small. The fourth quarter saw 1 lot of passing by both teams.
