Nature lovers plan to have an au topsy over a dead bird to determine cause of death, and If possible stamp out the cause. For the past week the remains of robina have been found In their fa vorite rendezvous, the city park, at the rate of four to six a day. The birds, acordlng to park observers, first become listless and unable to fly. Then they crumple lifeless on the grass, their tiny toes pointing heaven ward. County Agent Fowler advances the theory that the birds may have par taken of poisoned wheat, distributed to kill crows and squirrels, or eaten woodlark, used In the care of plants and shrubs. He doubts this, as the birds are careful, and a hardy lot. The demise of the birds will be called to the attention of the Jackson County Humane society. At first people who found dead robins on their lawns were inclined to blame small boys with air guns,' but youth waa exonerated when In vestigation revealed no signs of shot or atones. $604l0lUEF SALEM.

E. GATES AUTO IW TO Orchardlsts at this time should give consideration to the planting of a cover crop for the purpose of Im proves the orchard soil and thus insure future crops of quality fruits, states County Agent L. P. Wilcox. Rogue River valley soils, generally, are in great need of humua. The program of growing annual cover crops and turning them under is one of the best and most economical methods of increasing humus mate rial In the soil. Early planting of cover crops re sults In a good growth before tem peratures get too low and plant activ ity stops. The greater the growth in the fall, the earlier the plowing may be done in the spring. Early seeded crops should be drilled or harrowed in deeper than late seeded ones; by so doing the seed la placed where moisture is available and a deep rooted plant results, the better to withstand drought conditions during November, which oftentimes occur. The most common crop used Is vetch, either common or Hungarian; the latter is more hardy and is pre ferred by growers who have heavy adobe soils. In most cases combina tions of vetch and grain, such as winter oats, barley or rye, are used. The rate of seeding for vetch alouc la from 50 to 60 pounds per acre. ; while In combination with grain the ! rate is from 40 to 50 pounds of vech : and 20 to 40 pounds of grain per acre. In orchards where vetch has never ! been grown before, seed inoculation will be necessary. COLUMBIA FISHERMEN ACCEPT SALMON PRICE ASTORIA, Ore., Sept. 8.
