U Tho Mnil Tribune lna s6vof.il Yimos nllol nj tent ton to sweet clover as a neglected resource of this region, and a forage crop whose merits are already recognized in (lie middle west Sweet clover grows wild in many barren stretches. It linos the banks and covers the gravel bars of the Ixogue, and its tributaries, growing seven and eight feet in height. Tt is one of the best honey-producing plants grown. As a faltener for livestock it lias no superior. Sweet clover hay is quotted in Iowa papers as selling for $12- a ton. Its seed is worth from $10 a bushel up in eastern markets. Yet no effort is made here to utilize this most valuable product. Thousands of ares of barren and idle land could bo made to yield profitable crops of sweet clover. Commenting upon the use of sweet clover to revolu tionize stock-raising, the Lincoln, Neb., News sayst It is fa&t becoming known that tho wild sweet clover (lint abounds hero Is destined to become greater na a forago crop than nlfnlfn, bernuno It will crow any w hero and no season gets too dry for It. You will see It along the hlghwas In this dry weather, standing heat with little con cern, and fully flvo feet high It yields n heavy crop of seed that polls for about 1G a buMiel. That it will revolutionize tho stock growing business In Western Nebraska and Knnas Is tho prediction. It comes on early In the spring, and for hay It must bo cut before it attains too rank a growth and becomes bitter and woody. EXCURSION ?

In a recent Issue of the Mnll TnJ tiuno nn article entitled "Dllght It Tuberculosis of the HooW was r prlntcd from tho Colina, Ohio, Stand ard. Tho reprinted article was pre faced by the Tribune's editor in the hopo that nil readers of tho Trlbuna might npprcclato tho Joke and have a good laugh at tho oxpenso of tho Ig noramus from Ohio. Thero was n time when tho local papers were de luged by "rot' 'of this kind, but that tlmo has passed. It thero Is ono thing for which tho local papenf should bo commended It Is their re fusal to print articles or letters' which would tend to bo harmful to the horticultural Interests of the val ley. Whllo tho great majority ot readers In this district easily recog nize a worthless or misleading article, thero aro always a few who would swallow ono whole Just "because It was seen in tho paper." After all, it Is not tho Ohio orchardlst who should bo censured, but rather the editor of tho Ccllna Standard for ac cepting tho articlo nnd printing it. There aro wajs ot flndg nut tho truth nnd exposing matters of a fallacious nature. This fellow from Ohio has about as much knowledge of plant physiology and pathology as tho Hottentot Medi cine Man had ot medicine nnd who used as his principal remedy a tat tered copy of tho New York Herald. When asked what tho paper was good for ho said, "A small piece rubbed on a patient's stomach will euro any slight intestinal ailment; whllo a pleco taken inwardly with a little water will euro tho most ser ious of diseases." Tho Ohloan talks about tho "flow of sap" and "organic diseases" with as much gllbness as a parrot and with no evident conception ot tho meaning of the terms. It is hard to understand why somo pcoplo nssumo a knowlcdgo of plant physio logy and pathology without any train- ling whatever and give advice on these matters with that solt sufficiency characteristic ot tho Ignorant man. There is no reason why wo should listen to the proffered ndvlco of the untrained man In technical mat tor.' pertaining to tho Ufa of n plant than wo should listen to tho man who know 8 nothing about tho practtco of medicine. Plants like nnlmals nrn living organisms, nnd a knowledge of t'.io physiology nnd pathology of pt.-tnU Is on n par with tho understanding ot tho physiology and pathology of animals. In hoUi instances thero must also bo a full knowlcdgo of the organism's structure. Hut all tlili Is unnecessary In the mind if tho Ohto man nnd his followers. This fellow's euro for blight Is un doubtedly on a par with tho hun dreds ot concoctions it has been our lot to Investigate. In California soma fow years ago n "suro euro" was ad- crtised, but It was found that thoso. who depended upon It ns a euro lost their orchards; even tho mnn who "discovered" It was ono of tho heav iest losers from blight. Thoso who aro looking for something easy to control blight might try tho Inexpen sive remedy suggested by a Georgia darkey, This dusky "would-be path ologist" simply hung Iron barrel hoopH In his pear trees. When nsked about the effectiveness ot tho reme dy ho tald that while "mos any Iron barrel hoop would do, tho hoops taken from a whiskey barrel worked best." Ho neglected to state whether tho barrel was full or empty when ho got It. But with all tho hoops, he lost his pear trees. Our friend from Ohio closes his let ter with n suggestion to tho houso wlves that ho will most likely eat with them. With him it Is like Mutt and Jeff. "Don't forget tho rats." Hero Is whero ho Is long on appetite even If he Is short on plant pathology. V. J. OGAItA, Pathologist in Charge.

Tho reduced puree! post rates or dered by Iho jiontmnfitor genernl to take effect Aug. 15 nre of great im IMirduieo to small (drippers in Ore gon, particularly in Iho eastern part of tho ptnto where singe lines arc hlill the chief means of transportation and where tycprt'Mi rates nre consequently high. Incidentally, it may bo noted tliul tho lower rates now to bo in force are in nccordnnco with the rates in dicated ax practicable in tlio original rcmrt mado by .Senator liourne, the uutlior of tho bill, at the time of its introduction. Tho reduction, made after six months' experience, dcraon utrntcs tho thoroughness of tho study of tho problem prior t Ibo tnact inent of tho law. It nls demon strates flint thoso who insisted upon nn increase in tho original Bourne rntes wero unduly nopcerncd over possible losses to tho gocrumcnt. Thero nro several things timt must bo kept in mind when considering par cel post rates. For ono thing, tho ltetuuees under tbo parcel post are computed in a si might lino, wheieas epieis companies inako thejr charges denuding to actual miles a pnekago in on""'-''!- For instance, from Kn gene, Oie;;on, to JJend, is about 00 miles in a straight lino, whereas a pilcl'Mgo transported from Eugene, to Ik'iid must bo curried around by way within l.'iO jnUes. of l'ortlnnd nnd Tho Dalles, making a distnncc of over TI.10 miles. The pnrcel jiost rntos nro computed on Iho air lino while tho express companies charge nccording to distneo traveled. Again, the parcel post service in cludes rural delivery, while tho ex press service includes only city de livery. For instance, if a resident o( Fiigeno wishes to scud a parcel to u friend residing on u rural route near iicud, the government will not only lake the packnge to IJend, but deliver it out on tho rural routo without ex tra charge. Tho uildrcsso would be required to call for a package scut by express. The reduce! rates to bo placed in effect Augilst 15 npply only within n distance of 150 miles, which. is now the second 7one tho local nnd rural routo service having been mndo tho fiisl rone. The new into fur tin first isoiio will bo fivo cents for tho fi&t pound ami ono cent for each additional two pounds, as compared Willi tho present chnrgo of fivo cents for tlio first pound nnd ono cent for each additional pound. , For tjio second yono of 150 miles tho now rate will bo fivo cents for tho first jwiiiud nnd ono cent for each ad ditional pound, ns compared with five centH for the first pbiiinl and threo cents for cadi additional pound ed into their now homo on Pncific Ilb'hway.
