A TRAVESTY dN JttTICB.
ilK )Qni' lliyth that courts twist For the adminis
tration of justices law for tho protection of sociotv
and peace officers for tho enforcement of the law, received
a tremendous jolt when Loris Martin was acquitted by a
jury of his "peel's" of tho murder of Game Warden A. S.
ITiibbard.
The. verdict is a travesty on justice. It is a reward of
honor for a premeditated, and often-threatened murder of
n faithful, fearless officer in the discharge, of his duty by
a notorious law-breaker, ft is no longer a crime to slay
a man in Jackson county. It is open season on game war
dens. Like the Kentucky moonshiner, tho Oregon poacher
holds it as his inalienable right to conduct his operations in
nominee 01 mo law. .ns me nioonsiuner who slays an
officer becomes a liero in his native mountains, so lias the
murderous Jackson county poacher boon crowned with a
tinsel gore-spattcrod wreath.
The trial itself deserves to be staged as a scene in "Pud-
den-IIead llson. The disreputable old courthouse,
crowded with friends of the prisoner, swept by maudlin
Hysteria J or tlie accused: the sheriffs ottice, sworn to up
hold the law, actively aiding in its nullification as star wit
nesses for the law's transgressor; the clever, carefully pre
pared defense with its black thread of perjury; the intoxi
cated witness and his inimitable buffoonery; the unfailing
support by the court of the contentions, of the defense all
these and many moro incidents helped transform a tragedy
uuu u iiiirt", iu tut' suiinii 01 iiucKsoii couiuy.
State Game "Warden Pinley is right in refusing to ap
point a successor to Martin's" victim. Why risk another
life in enforcing laws when the law itself affords no pro
tection to the law enforcer? The Martin verdict has made
a joke of justice, shattered the game code and disgraced
Jackson county. It is an outrage.
Loris Martin goes forth a free man, receiving congratu
lations for breaking the commandment of the Lord and the
laws of man, but all the acquittals in tho world will not
wipe from his soul the scarlet stain of the blood he has shed
a damned spot that will not elcanso.
Sulphur Most Valuable Alfalfa Fertilizer
(lly V. C. Rclmer, Kxperimcnt Station, Talent, Ore.)
(Continued from YcMerdny.)
Ltmc Sulphur Spray n Fertilizer
Since niinouiieinjj our reulls Inst
summer several fruit growers in this
valley nml nlso nt Hood Ilivcr, nnd
some section of Idaho, lmvc told us
Hint they hml observed Hint the nl
fnlfa directly under tho fruit tree
which hnd been sprayed willi lime
sulphur whr usually larger, more ro
bust and darker green thnu that
growing just beyond the spray drip
pings. It was thought that thw ws
probnldy due to the lime in the upray
solution. We now know that so far
as ibis valley is concerned it was du
to Iho sulphur nnd not the lime.
ExjicrimcnU in Vi-ogres
Theso experiments are now being
repeated on many farms, representing
nil the important nlfnlfa soil types in
tliis valley. We aro using sulphur in
many different forms. Theso experi
ments will determine what sails need
applications of sulphur, the best form
of sulphur to use, tho most profitable
amount to npply, the most econom
ical source of sulphur, nnd also
whether applications of phosphorus
In addition (o the btilphur nre needed.
J low Sulphur Enters I'lant
The alfalfa plant cannot utilize
sulphur ns pure sulphur. The sulphur
must first combine in the soil witli
certain other elements to form sul
phates. It readily combines with lime
nnd forms calcium sulphate or laud
master, in which form it is readilv
u.-ed by the plant; or it mny combine
with magnesium, or with potassium,
or other elements, to form aeceptahle
sulphates. This is indeed fortunate
for tin alfalfa grower in this- valley,
since his soils arc so abundantly sup
plied with lime, magnesium and potns
muiii, Hint when sulphur is ndded to
his soil it i? readily transformed into
the desirable sulphates.
Attention should ngnin he called to
the fact that the soils, so far ns they
have been nnulyd, nre, with the ex
ception of the . .expensive sulphur,
nlmot ideal for the growth of al
falfa so far as plant food is con
cerned. These soils contain lKttnsh,
magnesium nnd lime the very es
sences of the alfalfa plant suffic
ient to grow abundant crops for sev
cral hundred years. In addition to
this, the nlfnlfa plant being n legume,
has the highly desirable power of
satisfying iU enormous demniuU for
nitrogen by ubsorbing it, with the nid
of bacteria on iU roots, from the in
cxhauslible supply in tho nir. Whcrt
ever the soils nre of sufficient deptli
they should produce fabulous yields
of alfalfa for generations by simply
supplying the necessnry nmount of
sulphur; nnd an ubundnnce of moist

How to Make the l"olsons
Poisoned Raisins, Carrots and
Other Vegetable's Split and insert a
crystal of strychnine, or mix moist
ened rnUiiiH or fresh cut vegetables
with ground or powdered strychnine
in the following propertions: One
eighth of an ounce of strychnine to
ono gallon of material.
Poisoned Uarley or Wheat Clean
grain, 20 quarts; strychnia sulphate
(ground or powdered), two ounces;
saccharin, ono teuspoonful; glos
fitnreh (common laundry starch), one-
half teacup! ul; water, ono and one
half pints. Dissolve the starch iu a
little cold water nnd add n pint and
n half of boiling water, making a
rather thick solution. While hot, stir
in the rdrychnino and mix until freo
from lumps. Then add the saccharin
and bent thoroughly. Pour in the
poisoned stnrch'over the barley and
stir rapidly until tho poison is evenly
distributed, then allow thu gram to
dry. When dry it will keep indefin
itely without deterioration. Uy this
method a coating of poison is found
on tho outside of the grain, which nets
much more quickly than if tho trraiu
is boiled or soaked in the poison.
Poisoned Corn for Crows Sonk
one-eighth ounce of powdorcd strych
