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.

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.

From tho Portland Journal.
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
