GEI MALE CHILD
LONDON, Sept. S. Avoid sugar If

This Is tho plst of n statement hero

announcing tho birth of an heir to his
wife, who was Miss May Goolct of
Now York.
Tho duko said ho and tho duchess

NBW YORK, Sept. S. Dr. David
Gorton, an octogenarian of Urook
lyn, who attributed to Rugcnlcs the
birth of twins to his wife, ridiculed
tho stntoment of tho Duko of Hox
burghe, who declares his wife deter
mined tho sex of her baby by abstain
ing from sugar beforo Its birth.
"Food has nothing to do with
sex," said Dr. Gorton. "Tho wholo
matter rests with the parents' minds.
Thcro Is both malo and female clc
snont in man and woman; the union
of theso determines sex. I believe
this union is subject to mental con

EQUAL SUFFRAGE is still mi experiment. Upon tlio
way the women of Oregon vote depends tlu chance uf
enfranchisement of their sisters in eastern states.
If women show as a class, show discrimination ami
indirment and a realization and annreeiation of their on
porhutity, one of the main arguments against "votes for
women will lie tteinolisltco.
Tf women as a class show discrimination and
interest in community, county and state welfare and
work and vote solidly for those measures that, benefit their
communities, they give the strongest possible argument
for equal suffrage.
Tho women of .Jackson county have never had an op
portunity to express themselves at the polls on matters
of public welfare.
They now have an opportunity to prove to the world
that they are progressive and interested in the public wel
fare, .wliich they are. in the bond elect ion. tomorrow.
In order to "win, the bonds must receive the vote of
nearly every woman in Jackson county, particularly those
in the cities. We believe that they will receive them and
so proclaim loudlv the principal reason why women
should be given the ballot.
Tf women are not registered, they can be sworn in.
There is everv reason whv everv woman should make it
a point to vote, both for community good nudfor her sex.
A Portland View of the Road Bonds
(From the Portland Spectator.)
Citizens of Jnekon county will
vote next Tuesday on a jfoOO.OOO
bond Nmic for public highway de
velopment. Tho puqioso of tli- is
sue is to construct fifty mile- of
paved scenic highway from the Cnli
fornin lino north tlirotih Jnok-on
county to the Jo-clipine county line.
This will he the southern pitewny
to Oregon the main entrance fur
tourists coming from California
point4-.
The indorsement of this project
liy the oters of Jack.-on county will
in n pront men mi re develop the tour
ist travel of the state.
If Jackson county votes yes on the
measure it will he tho first county
in the state to take advantage of
the new road law, which pves stuto
aid to counties in highway building.
The mads will he built with .lacksoit
county material, n nil the cement
will ho ltroiit;Iit front the newly in
stalled plant of the I'ortlaud-Ueaver
Cement company nt Gold Ilnv
The rond will traverse a country
of "rent scenic beautv and will open
to plwiMtrc travel n territory that
heretofore has been reached only at
the expense of stent hardship.
If the citizens of Jackson county
favor the bond issue they will net an
example that may with profit bo fol
lowed by the people tu other parts
of the slate.

MISS CARPENTER TO SPEAK
IN MEDFORD NEXT FRIDAY
Miss Cnrpontcr of Doston, Massa
chusetts who Is touring tho couutry
in tho Interest of tho progressive par
ty will speak In .Medford tho night of
Friday, Sept. 12th, on "Tho Future
of tho 1'rogrosslvo Party."
Miss Carpenter will ho entertained
Informally at tho Hotel Medford nt
dinner Friday night by members of
tho local progressive party. Fred W.
Mears, progressive chairman, having
charge, pf the arrangements.
It Is at present planned to have
Miss Carpontcr spenU from an auto
mobllo in tho open air at Haymarkot
Square, and it is probablo pho will
nlso spenk to tho women of Medford
in tho afternoon on some questions
jclnlinj; to tho feminist movement
apart from party affiliations,
(From tho Ashland Tidings.)
Tho Tidings has had llttlo to say
on the proposed bond Issue for road
purposes. Thcro is a peculiarly de
pressed condition in tho country at
this time, occasioned by tho radical
tariff and currency measures which
are now under consideration by con
gross. Under such conditions pcoplo
are more likely to act and think con
servatively than during periods of
great activity, and the Tidings has
been slow on taking a stand on tho
bond question.
Thcro is no question about the ne
cessity for good roads. Tho Interest
of tho rancher nnd automoblllst Is
Identical wbon It comes to .scientific
highway' construction. Tho advent
of the automobile has been a godsend
to those living in rural districts, even
though they never uso ono, for tho
automobile has caused urban Inter
ests to comblno with rural in the ad
vocacy of better highways, resulting
In giving to tho farmer a first class
roaJ ever which to haul his products.
Tho writer has long been an advo
cate of systematic action In public
Improvements. Tho work should bo
laid out with a deflnlto plan, first
constructing permanent main arter
ies, as good as they can bo made,
Into which laterals penetrating re
nioto districts can be constructed as
occasion demands. Tho proposed
bond Issue contemplates this plan.
Tho money is to be expended on tho
Pacific Highway. And whllo this
highway is primarily n tourist way,
it is no less Important to tho ranch
crs of the valley becauso It Is the
first link In systematic road construc
tion which will soon result In later
als penetrating tho particular district
In which they live.
Tho almost impassibility of tho Sis
kiyou rango to the south has always
been a great handicap to Ingress and
ogress from tho Ilogue river valley,
Tho now project proposes a G per
cent maximum grade over that hilt,
nnd a reduction nnd Improvement of
that grade will result in bringing
through tho valley thousands of tour
ists who now dotour at Agor and
Journey w to Portland east of tho
Cascado rango.
many yours. So far ub wo can nscor
talu this Is the first real oxpcriinuntnt
work ever donu In tho valley with
commercial forllllors. Tho .work Is
being carried on with fruits, vouV
tables and alfalfa. Somo very val
uable results h.wo already been ob
tained but its these represent only
two seasons work wo arc not ot pre
pared tu luuko tlnnl recommendation.
So far the Increase- In lold has
been most marked with alfalfa. Tho
results vary with different types of
soil. On some types of soil abso
lutely no effect due to fortlllsor has
been noted. In other cases an In
crease of front 25 to fiOO has been
obtained. In one Held tho stand of
nlfalfa was so poor that It was not
worth cutting, while that portion of
the same field treated with Super-
phosphato produced excellent crops.
Tho amount used on alfalfa was
usually three hundred pounds per
acre.
Most of our fortllltcr work Is be
ing done with fruit tree, but It usu
ally requires considerably longer to
determine tlio value of fertiliser on
fruit trees. From the results so far
obtained no deflnlto conclusion can
be drawn.
Nitrogen Is by f.ir the most expen
sive element In cummerelal fertilizers.
Fortunately this element cnu be ob
tained from the nlr by growing legu
minous cover crops during the win
tor months. This can bo very suc
cessfully done In our orchards as has
been shown by our work.
Since the soil conditions In this
valley nre so varied It will he Impos
sible for this station te carry on work
that will npply to every f.trm. Hence
wherever satisfactory crops are not
being obtained wo would advise far
mers to do a limited amount of ex
perimenting of their own. The re
sults so far obtained Indicate that spe
cial attention should bo given to
Superphosphate. This material has
so far proved of greater value than
nny other used. This station will bn
plcasod to assist auy ono interested
in this work.
It should be emphasized thnt tho
results obtained do not Indicate thnt
our soils are Inferior, for such Is not
tho case. For many years fertlllxor
havo boon extensively nnd profitably
used In California, nil tho southern
states nnd Kuropo. During tho past
five years tho experiment station of
Illinois has proved conclusively that
Phosphorous can be very profitably
used In most sections of that fortllo
state.

has not been as satisfactory as for- While these elements nro present In
mcrly. During the past two years
many complaints have como to this
station regarding the unsatisfactory
ybdds, especially of alfalfa.
Some of theso unsatisfactory crops
have becu duo to had soil manage
mpnt, such as ploughing when tho
soil was too wut, wanting tho stablo
rnanuro when It should havo been put
on tho laud, leaving tho land bare all
wlntor when It should have been pro
ducing n cover crop, and growing tho
same crop year after year Instead of
following a well planned rotation.
Dut somo of theso unsatisfactory
crops undoubtedly havo been duo to
a deficiency of certain plant foods.
Our cultivated plants require at least
ten elements In their growth. Most
of these nro prosont in such enor
mous quantities In all of our soils and
tho air that farmer noed give thorn
no consideration. Hut thcro nro
threo elements which nro vory essen
tial to plant growth which nroofton
present in small quantities, Theso
elements aro nitrogen, phosphorous,
and potassium. In our clayey soils In
this valley potassium Is usually pres
ent lu such largo quantities that it
will probably not have to bo added
practically all hoIIh tho amount Is of
ten so limited that u stunted growth
Is produced.
Theso elements can all bo pur
chased In tho form of commercial
fertilizers. Phosphorous can be pur
chased as Suporphosphato or ib llono
Meal, and nitrogen as Nitrate of Soda,
Dried lllood, Nitrate of Lime, and
Sulphnto of Ammonia.
Since these elements aro cxpcnslvo
no farmer should uso them vory ex
tensively until ho Is certain that It
will bo a profitable Investment on
IiIh particular soil. There Is only
ono Bufo way for tho farmer to deter
mine this, and that Is to apply tho
fertilizer to some of his crops on n
limllod scale and nolo tho effects,
In such npllcatlons pnrt of tho field
should bo left untreated to as to
servo as u chock. If tho Increase,
In yield does not pay for tho cost of
the fertlllcr nnd cost of applying It
thou it would bo folly to apply largo
quantities.
This experiment station Is conduct

various parts of tho valley. Thin
