They did not think this improb able. Thero hnvo been dozens of reports since the Balkan war that Ferdinand would step down in favor of his oldest son, and although thus far he had clung with n death grip to his position, many still believe in the end he will be forced to yield to pressure of public opinion, which holds him responsible for the war's disastrous ending, from tho Bulgar ian standpoint.

Says the Oregenian: Let tho eyes of tho tinsuspectltiK cltlxen who thinks tho old politic Is merely a bail memory ami tho political machine n rusting wreck, on tho shore ot tho now era ot uolltlcnjrrcform tnko a look at tho performances ot Governor West with the StntcvjMh una Uamo Commission. State Hamo Whidon FltfwMnts been shelved with a nominal Job as state biologist ami Master KteRnrdon Clanton has been let down Into u place as superintendent of hntcherlcs, n nice now Job. Tho stnto biologist Is a convenient creation for tho purpose of softening tho deliberate disposses sion of lnrRo authority In tho hand of Mr. Klnley, n game expert and con servator ot national reputation for scientific and practical knowledge. He sides, ho I no ono' political tool. Tho hatcheries superintendent Is like wise something entirely new. The now officials, llko Governor West, are practical men. They will play tho game. Tho hiring ot all tho great army of deputies will doubt less bo put In their hands. The state will see tho live workings ot a political macnine, to ooosi me pians oi tuo governor to put ins resiuunry lcgntea tn his shoes, such a It ha not wttnesrod for many n day. The exigencies ot political pharlscolsm often reuulro bold and rnv methods. The "eyes of the unsuspecting citizen' arc indeed opened by this expose of the dark and diabolical plot to defile the hatcheries. Tho pure and holy unpolitical Ore gonian can always be depended upon to protect, the people l'rom the machinations of such questionable characters as Oswald West. Of course there is the fact.that Governor "West refuses to be a candidate for re-election, and no motive exists for the creation of a political machine to further the cause of a man not running tor ottice but the Orcgoiuan can al ways supply an ulterior motive of its own its every word is dictated by one. It naturally supposes everyone else is built likowise. The reorganization of the game board is actuated by the desire to secure efficiency and economy. The new as well as the old board are West appointees, and he could have been building up such a machine for the past three years if he had placed politics above public service or had the least thought of politics. The divorcing of the police duty, that is, the fish and game protective work, from the propogation work, seems a common-sense move. Both are important. The propo gation requires extended experience, technical knowledge and expert 'skill, qualifications that are rare, while the police duty 'merely requires tact, energy and fearlessness. To combine the two, prevents justice to cither. Xo better men for the work could be found than those selected. No attention has, under "West's regime, been paid to the politics of fish and game employes. There is no con templated change in personnel, except perhaps a reduction in force, and political machines are not built up by cutting down the force except in the Oregonian's warped imagination. The people long ago became ian's unfairness. It loses no chance to demonstrate how little a big paper can be. It has never in any way, either in news columns or editorial, given Governor West a square deal, but has persistently and continuously maligned him, lied about him, assailed him and distorted bis every act in an effort to discredit him. It made no difference whether he strove to uplift humanity by prison reform, to save the people's property from land robbers, to help solve the development problems of Oregon, or to make law-defying liquor dealers and gamblers obey tho lawythe Orcgonian never ceased its damnable slinging of slime. And that the people thoroughly understand the Orc gonian and comprehend its motives is demonstrated by Oswald West's growing popularity. K that delectable sheet is not careful it will force the renomination of West by the people's writing his name upon the ballot. Fertilizer Requirements of Alfalfa Recent studies by tho stato agri cultural experiment station of Wash ington upon tho fertilizer require ments of alfalfa offer increasing evi dence that nitrogen and sulphur aro In separably associated with each other In tbo growth of this crop; that In the absence ot either, an off color and stunted growth results. Says Professor George A, Olsen: "iteferer.ee ha been made hereto fore to thy dark green color observed In alfalfa plants whero gypsum and superphosphates had been added. Similar results wero obtained from tho use of sulphuric acid. In all three Instances, It Is noted that this addition ot chemical substances con taining sulphur has In somo way not only produced healthier looking plants, but also, remarkably large yleldB, in comparison to untreated plots, were obtained. "Tho occasional yellow color of al falfa has always been attributed by authorities to the lack of nitrogen food, or nitrogen-gathering bacteria, or both. While such statements as those aro accepted as true, they ap pear to be contrary to observations made In our Washington Investiga tions. "Tho Importance of nitrogen-gathering bacteria In keeping tho nltro- Chinese Most Thrifty of Farmers In tho utilization of every square foot of soil and every leaf or root that is grown thereon, tho patient, hardworking fanners of China could give points oven to tho thrifty rnrnl population of France, says tho Phil adelphia Publio Record.

Nevertheless, wo found In rtnnces wherein tho nitrogen-gathering bacteria wero well distributed i.) our soil and numerous nodules wero on tho roots of tho alfalfa plants; yet, tho yellow color continued to predominate.

"Howover, experiments wherein tho black alkali is neutralized with hydrochloric acid have not nltercd tho yellow color; whllo sulphuric acid has restored tho color.

CiirvlmMng of Supptle nml MntcrlnU Tho city of Medford might save considerable by the centralization of purchasing power In tho hand of ono mnn. Such official should jo selected solely on merit and should havo previous cxperlonco a n pur chasing agent, i Somo arrangement might bo mado whereby this official could assist tho recorder In keeping tho city's books. The appointment of n man who could combine tho duties of purchasing agent and bookkcopcr would, without doubt, result In a sav ing to tho city. Tho first step involved In tho tabllshment of a.'contral purchasing agent Is tho standardization of sup plies and tho preparation of standard specifications.
