In themselves, the express companies could do littlo in opjiog'Hig i)Ul)lio opinion although they lmvo always had a strong lobby at Wash ington, owned certain representatives and senators out right, and had the benefit of the railroad, trust and corporation influence to maintain their graft. However, through organized effort, they artfully influenced (he retail and eodntry merchant in their behalf, and the back bone of the imposition to a parcels post has been this clement. Extension of the various jobbers and retailers asso ciations has fostered a bitter animosity to the parcels post upon the idea that providing a cheap system of delivery would tend to enormously increase business of the big city merchant and the mail order houses. It was tle doleful prediction that the parcels post would wipe out the small town merchant and destroy the small town. Parcels post rates are usually governed by mileage and they should increase the business of the small town merchant to a greater extent than that of the city mer chant, for it will enable tho retailer to deliver at reasonable rates anywhere in the country, while his distant opponent, must pay several times tho amount for delivering that he does. The following table shows the -present nostatre oharire on five pounds of fourth class matter, the rate Hint will be charged under the provisions of the Bourne parcel post bill, the reduction in cents and the per cent of reduction as compared with present rates": DlMnnco 5 pouuds present rato Itural routo and city delivery .SO 50 mllo zone SO 150 mile one ..80 300 mile rone SO COO jullo xono t . .,80 JOflO mile zqno . . . . f..S0.

Under the proposed zone rates tho average haul will be much less than-600 miles. It is therefore apparent that the pending parcel post measure proposes a reduction of 54 per cent under the present average distance and GO per cent under the average haul under the new rates. Tli'e bill will not only directly benefit the consumer, but the retailer as well, and the 'dread of a parcels post prove unwarranted. Rogue River Has Finest Fly i i ,-. Fishing in the United States (Walter F. Backus, in the Porllaiid Oregdnianr) We have some good average fish ing near Portland. (Anyoue with a fair knowledge of the country can get Iroul fishing within thirty miles of the city. In. 4he spring months wo hnve salmon fishing that is con sidered mighty good sport. But if you want to know what real fkdiing is, 3'on must go to southern Oregon and tackle nn eight-pound steelhead trout in the Rogue river. It will make you forget nny other fishing you ever had, and if you nre lucky enough to get several days of this royal sport, it will spoil you for any other kind of angling. At least that's what it did for me. Everything is on a big scale. You hnve to wade to the very limit, cant every foot of line jou can possibly get out, and then handle five or ten IKuinds of the gamest trout fle.di ihat ever broke a man's tackle. There's nothing easy about this steel head fly fishing. It's hard work every minute of it, but for the man who enjoys fighting a big fish on n fly rod, it's worth njl the energy it costs. Stcclbcnd Trout Fishing Unique In the first place the fishing is quite different from ordinary trout fly fishing. The steellicads nre found in a different sort of water, and take the fly in a manner .quite unlike the rainbok or cutthroat trout. You may be a successful fly fish erman on the average mountain stream, and then fish tho Kogue for a week without hooking n single steelhead. The experienced Hog" fisherman will walk along tho tt'Hrn completely ignoring tho places that look promising to the amateur and pick out spot after spot where the steelheads are j,urp io.be hiding; Ymii don't find them in ordinary gravel bottom riffles, nor in deep, swirling eddios, but wherever there is a solid bedrock bottom with crucks and grooves scattered through ft, nnd six or eight feet of water running over it at a moderate pace, then look out for trouble. Cast your fly straight across the current ami let it swing quietly around until it straightens out below you. Don't try to skip :l along the surfuce or give, it any mo tion whatever. Just let it sail quietly along, until it suddenly disappears, and you feel tug Ihat makes your blood tinglo clear down to your toes. Afternoon's Hport Is Great I had u grand afternoon's port on tho Itogue about ten miles above Med ford. At this point there was an unusually strong and heavy rapid, a"ud just above this fast wutcr was the finest lot of bedrock I have eycr seen. The channel here was prob ably u hundred feet across, with an vurngo depth of porliaris eight feet. Thero was quite u swirl to the wutcr, BEDFORD MSEC TRIBUNE.

So I put on a No. 4 Grizzly King, and sent it floating over the pool. No response nt fiixt, so I gradually lengthened the line until -10 feet was flying through the nir. Then tho fly settled a little farther out, drifted a yard or two when bang! and my rod bent double nnd my reel began fairly to Hcrenm. Out of the water he came, looking bo big that he fairly scared me, ami then he made n straight shoot for the rapids below-. Down he went to the .very brink, taking out lino until tny reel looked pretty .sick. Here he fitoprvd Jong enough to let me wade bhhorc, mid I was then able to fight him on even terms. After ten minutes of plunging, during which he threat ened to go over the falls scve-nl times, I finally drew him ashore. I had no scales at hand to weigh him just then, but nfter hanging up in tho wurm nir all day, he weighed a strong eight pounds in the evening so you can see he was "some fish.'' Fotir 3Ioro Prizes Taken Then I went t ngnin, using first the Grizzly King, and at times the yellow body gray hackle, and in tho next hour landed four more out of the same -water, none of which weighed less thhn four pounds. About this time they quit striking, nnd I went ashore to rest until the evening shadows reached the upper cud of the pool, which I hud not fished. This portion of the water wns more difficult to reach. After wading out to the edge of deep water I found that the choicest part of the pool was still above me. The sun was now behind tho trees, so I put on a No. G Koynl Coachman, 'iiud began dry casting it diagonally up stream. Jt settled just beyond the edge of a bedrock reef and came drifting down toward me. The water was fairly clear und au'd, and I felt sure 1 could see any fish that might rise. Hut these big fellows must bo as fast as they nre strong, for just as I was about to retrieve tho cast there was a suspicions boil near the fly, it dis appeared, and I struck just in time to hook a regular whopper. Straight Into the air ho went, three times vithiu ten seconds, the last time ifulljiig so close that ho splashed water all over me. Hut the little hook held firm, nudlic ciniio ashore' in dim order. After a- few minutes rest, I went at it again, gelling two more, 'one on an upstream cast of fully 40 feet, which is something unusual for steel head fihhiug, Mctlforil Ts Headquarters Medford is the home of the major ity of tho steelhead fly fishermen, and they are a most- cnlhiHJustjo lot. They think they have the finest fly fishing river in the United KtnU-s, and I am inclined to ugrco with thciu. , MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY.

Cover Crops lly-Proh V. J. O'Oara (CouUnucd from Monday.) Itye u Poor Cox or (Yop. It la well known that tn of tho ioorct rover crops Is rye, and yet we find those who pcndnt In advising our orchardtntH to into It. Under our conditions where irrigation la not generally practiced it Is liable to have a Very drying effect upon tho' noil. It- adds littlo plant food and must tie watched Very closely In the spring or It will rob tho trees of moisture and become too strawy to serve the purpose of a green manure. II has beuit used to some extent luNlhe past, but always to tho detriment of the orchard. U'l lea irrigation can bo practiced, ryo should not bo used. Although rye has tho advalitago of gemi'iiutlng with a minimum amount of moisture and growing on land that Is almost too hard to grow any other crop. It Is, never-, theless, unsnfo to use In (tils district. In combination with vetch, It usual ly so much exceeds tho vetch' in gfowth that vory little benefit Is derived from the vetch before It becomes necessary to plow It uiulor In thu spring. If left until tho vetch Is In condition to turn under, It Is so strawy that It does not rot easily and will tend to. dry tho ground to n harmful degree. With n rye crop turned under. It Is almost Imposstbln to secure A protective mulch during the summer. Those who havo water may use rye Instead of oatB, but thero Is no doinit that oats and vetch make tho best combination for our purpose. Camilla Field IVii n (ver Crop. Undoubtedly ono of thu best cover crops is Canada field pens. While '( Ij qulto posslliiu that this crop may be grown A"n whiter crop, It has only been tried out by sowing it In -spring. An experimental crop, which proved to bo very successful, wna grown by Dr. George U. Dean, this season. The peas wcro drilled at tho rato of 100 pounds per aero on March 4th, and en mo up on March ,23rd. ,,Tho larger part of the noed was Inoculated with a bacterial culture, previous to drlllfhg, and the idanta from the" Inoculated seed grew. to n height or a feet, while thosa not Inoculated reuche'd u height of only 20 inches. Tho Inoculated plants produced nn average of 10 filled pods of approximately CO seeds ler plant, while tho check plants produced but C pods with a total of only 10 seeds. Tho inoculated vines were dark green and sturdy, 'while tho check plants This crop was not turned under, but wns harvested for seed which will bo used lu producing a full cover crop. Field peas germlnatn quickly nnd produce n largo amount of green ma terial before the winter reason, so that should they nut persist during tho winter, a large amount of humus would, nevertheless, bo added to tho soil. Tho peas leave thu subsoil lu much better condition than other crops ami also serve the valuable purpose of gathering nitrogen and adding humus, Tho vines arc In no way strawy, und, therefore, do not tnterfero with inuls turo retention to any marked degree. Heed Inoculation. It is interesting to note that oven ancient agriculture thu fact that crops of thu legume or pea family when plowed under enrich tho soil. Col umella, a Latin wrltor who lived nt most Interesting treatlso on agriculture, Do lto Ilustlca, points out that alfalfa, lupines, vetches, beans, etc., Improvo thu laud and act as manure. Ho is nlso-oiir authority that It was the practice of Ilomuii farmers to plow under lupines In order to enrich tho decllno of the Itoiuan. Umpire, tho use of leguminous plants for thu Improve ment of thu soil persisted to some oxtent throughout most of Hurnpcau countries. The practice was not followed conslstdntiy, however, and'tiio fertility of Kuropoan soils began to decline. Thu general Introduction of clover Into Gonnany and Kngland lu thu 18th century helped to restore tho fortuity or tho lands, and loud to a general recognition of tho, Im portant place held by leguminous plants In tho tnalntnlnancu of soil fer tility. Just why legumes have tho discovered fully until 1888 whon German Investigators demonstrated that such plants add nitrogen to tho soil through tho aid (if bacteria In tho root ttiborcloH. Hlnco that tlmo, thu bacteria artlflcally and distributing them for tho purpose of seed Inoculation has been made practical largely through tho efforts of tho U. S, Depart ment of Agricultural. The present methods of- seed Inoculation wore introduced by tho Dopatment of Agricultural only ten years ago, and have proven very succeaiful and of great valuoto"tho"f armor. Where vetches, Canada Field peas or other leguminous plants are used to covor a crop, especially whoro such plants have ncVor been grown, tho seed should bo Inoculated with a pliro cultiiro of root nodule-forming bacteria (Hacterlum radlclclola), While cultures of tlfo proper bactorlu may bo secured from certain commercial concerns, fnrmors may secure a certain nmount of tho mntorlal front the U. 8. Dopatment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C,' for experimental purposos. In writing to the Depart ment, one should statu tho amount (weight) and kind of leguminous seed it Is desired to inoculate, Ilacterlal cultures are for legumoH only. A culture will be sent freu to thoso who will, In turn, gtye tho Dp'par,tmoht;tho results of the test.'" Thoao who wish to sow covor crops this season should muko application nt once, so that thoro-will bu no delay In (ioudVug, It usually requires a little tlmo to prepare fresh .cultures. When cultures" nro purchased from firms dealing lirthoui, ono should bo suro that these culturos nro pot old. As u rule, Jo get. results, thu bacterial. culture! should bo Used within thirty days aftor It has boon prepared. Tho container should bo plainly marked, seating tho lutest datn when the ctilturu may-bo used. j. .WIieH to Plow Under a Cover Crop, Tho time to plow under n cover crop depends largely, uion tho souhoii. It has-been the practice; to do this some'tltmdurlng the latter' part of Murch or tho first week lu April. In no cuho should'tho tfronriil ho'plow'od'wlfou it iH'tuo wet, hor 'should oub wait Until tho cover crop has had a drying effect which' would tend to havo n riorJous' orfect upon trees UriaHntf ft crop. Of course, with Irrigation at baud, tho tlmo for turning under the crop may bo governod ut will, Vory often with a vory henvy crop, tho ordinary plow will, not turn U udder, und In tlils.cnso a disc run dvor It so as to break It down will help, r heavy chain attached to Ufa beam of tho plow will then hold tho heavy growth down until thu sod Is turned ovur It. Tlo plowing sboud bo at least six Inchds deep, and should bo followed by any. tool which wJH iond to pack tho cod down slightly without tcurlng up and oxjioslug tho. turned under covor crop.
