Automobile owners In Oregon will
receive reminders this week of the
ipproach of another registration
rear, when more than 250,000 let-

similar schedule with other states
in the union.
"Those desiring to make applica
tion for plates for the new season
at an early date may send in their
remittances and their registration
cards, properly signed, at any time
and plates will be mailed from Sa

FARM SOIL EXPERIMENTS
GIVE FERTILITY GUIDE.
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

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.
