tained from the agrirutlural college
at Corvallls and are authoritative,
They contain valuable Instruction to
gardeners generally. They will toll
you, not only how most profitably to
raise garden plants, but how to pre
pare them for the table and how to
eat them.
Superintendent Dressier has been
besought by many for Information
about tho cost of city water. Tho
water committee has assured him that
that matter will soon be adjusted In
a spirit In harmony with the present
war preparedness program every
where. The cost of water will be a
small Item. , ,,, .
How to use the water conservative
ly Is another matter. It concerns sci
entific Irrigation. That Is a foature
of the work that everybody who cul
tivates the soil, either In the back
yard or on a plantation, should know
something about.
The soil should be kept reasonably
moist all the time. It should not bo
permitted to dry thoroughly to a
dopth of five or six inches and then
flooded In the hope of overcoming the
loss sustained. The plants of the
garden and field cannot consume sol
ids. Moisture In the soil Is necessary
to produce plant food, without which
the plants will starve. They must
have that food regularly. To starve
them and glut them alternately will
produce a poor plant. Just as It will
produce a poor hog or a poor chicken
or a poor pftrson.
There should bo at least 13 per
cent of moisture In the garden soil
constantly to produce tho best results.
A little experience will enable the
gardener to tell about the degrco of
molstur without making any test.
ELKS PROVIDE
FREE BATHS FOR
MILITIA BOYS
Company I will remain in Medford
and the efforts of business men of
Ashland to have the headquarters of
the company removed to the armor)'
in that city have been for nought.
This situntion was practically settled
when the Medford lodge of Elks of
fered to fix up shower baths in the
basement of the Elks club house for
the free use of the company.
When it becamo known that the
members of the company were greatly
dissatisfied with their present bend
quarters in the Cuthbert building be-
enuse of the lack of bathing facilities,
Ashland got busy and offered Cap
tain Grover Todd the free use of the
Ashland armory, which is equipped
with shower baths and kitchen and
dining facilities.
Tho visiting soldiers are pleased
that they are to remain here as they
liko Medford and many of them have
formed strong friendships here, some
of them very tendor ones. It will be
several days yet before the shower
baths aro installed in tho clubhouse,
and in the meantime the Company I
hoys will make use of the baths nt
the Holland hotel, which hnvo been
tendered tho company freo of charge
by tho hotel management.
Approximately fifty men of the
company nre in Medford all tho time,
the others being scattered out on duty
guarding railroad bridges', trestles,
tunnels and water tanks nil tho way
from tho other side of the Siskiyous to
Roseburg nnd beyond. Each niun is
on guard and patrol duty eight
hours, nnd then is off duty ill Med
ford for 10 hours.
CHEAP WATER RATE
There seems to be a misunderstand
ing ns to tho tentative price the city
council plans to charge for water for
irrigating the food prepnredness lots
and separate gardens throughout the
city.
Tho rate being considered by tho
council is four-tenth of n mill per
square, foot nnd not four mills as re
ported. At this rate the cost of ir
rigating an ordinary lot for tho sea
son would bo nbout if2, quite n de
crease from tho present rule of $.1.80
n month. Tho water committee of
tho council now has tho ordinance
in charge and will bavo it ready for
passage at the next meeting of the
council. .
PRINCE OF WALES
10 ASK HAND OF
LONDON, May 5. Prince Edward
Albert of Wales, heir npnrcnt to fho
British throne, has answered for him
self the question whom he will mar
ry, according to the National News,
iv London weekly. The News sayn
the prince hns decided ho will ask
for the hand of his first cousin, Prin
cess Maud, the youngest daughter of
the princess royal and sister to Prin
cess Arthur of Connnught. The young
princess is 14 months older thnn the
prince, who is 22. Her father, tho
Duko of Fife, was the closest person
al friend of the late King Edward.
The report of the National News
contradicts the rumor current some
time ago that the princo sought the
hand of Princess Yolnnda, eldest
daughter of King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy. Recently London newspa
pers, perhaps influenced by the down
fall of the Russian aristocracy nnd
the American stand against Ger
many's Hopnrnto royal caste, havo
been urging that the old systom un
der which kings chose mates for
themselves or their heirs nmong tho
daughters of their own nobility should
ho revived.
