o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. "WEDNESDAY. MAT 29. 1935. PAGE THREE L TO E SALEM, May 29. (AP) While an appeal to the state supreme court to restrain the board of control from razing the old capitol walls was threatened, crews today pulled down the first of the dozen Corinthian columns left standing by the fire.

Free Soil Tests For Farmers At Samson's Store Frank Meehener. soil chemist for the Charles H. Lilly company, will be at the F. E. Samson store, 229 North Riverside, June 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., to make free soil tests for southern Oregon farmers and orchard lata, according to an nouncement made today. "Methods of soil analysis have been practically revolutionized during the past few years and have now reached a point of efficiency that makes them a valuable and depend' able guide not only as to the cheml cal constituents of the soli, but as to their availability to the plants under normal crop conditions," Mr. Samson stated. The three general systems of soil analysis which have been practiced for some time are: 1. Total analysis; 2. Analysis of the soil portions solu ble in strong acids; 3. The analysis of water extracts or of dilute acid extracts of soils. Mr. Meehener became interested in new methods of soil testing about five years ago, and has since then conducted extensive research work in order to determine what should be added to the soil and what should be avoided for best crop results. "The success obtained by orchard ists during the past three years where they ' have followed recom mendatlons made by Mr. Meehener have proven that his method of sou analysis is going to be a deciding factor In crop Insurance," according to Frank Leckenby, vice-president of the Lilly company, who described the new method in a recent news paper story. .

It produces a great abundance of small bulbs or bulblets which appear where flowers and seeds normally ap pear on other bltiesrasses. These bulblets are very small and supei flclally resemble gra.s seeds, but they form without blossoming, while seeds on other grasses cannot form except from blossoms. Furthermore. It also produces below ground enormou quantities of bulbs the slz of a small grain of wheat: these occur In dense mats Just below the surface tt the soil, and paww short, shallow, matted roots.

Winter bluegraas also reverses th normal order of growth. It goes on a vacation during the entire sum mer, but soon after the first fall rains the bulbs revive and send up a beautiful green, dense growth from three to six inches high. In the Rogue River valley it remains green and furnishes a splendid pasture throughout the entire winter and spring. During April and May th' plants send up slender, almost leaf less shoots, from eight to 12 Inches high on light soil, and from 12 to 20 inchest high on fertile soil. The tops of these shoots branch and produce an abundance of min ute bulblets. The plants then dry up, become perfectly dormant and re main so throughout the entire slim mer.

Schoth, government agronomist of the department of agri culture, stationed at Oregon State Agricultural college, has been work ing with Mr. Hoover for a numbc of years, observing and checking plantings of this grass on farm lands burned over and mountain areas and in arid sections. Before recommend ing this plant to the government for use in the erosion work. Prof. Schoth obtained a chemical analysis of the grass in the dry stage, as compared with the well-known Kentucky blue grass, the results showing the fol lowing: Crude Protein Fat Winter Bluegrass 8 26 2.08 Kentucky Bluegrass 1.9 J 7 From this It will be seen that the winter bltiegrasB will not only serve to control erosion by forming an ex tremely thick turf, but will also fur nish pasturage and hay of a higher value than any of the other stand ard grasses.

C (Snecial)- The use of the National Guard against striking workers was de nounced by trade union representa tives, who were Joined by Gen. Smed ley D. Butler, before the house mili tary at fairs committee. They cited instance after instance of military strikebreaking to support their argu ments for the Conne.ry resolutiuti to curtail use of the guard In labor dis putes. The resolution would require the express approval of the secretary of war before the federal arms and equipment with which tbe guard I supplied could be used in strikes. Declaring that "human life Is mere valuable than any factory or any pane of glass In one," Butler said that "the highe up you can put the control over the lives of people, the concrol over guns, the hetter it is for the people." He svated that he had rather that trained federal troops were used, who would everciso cooler Judgment. When one of the congressmen pointed out that President Cleveland bad called out federal troops In a strike. Butler accepted that as a good example, claiming that "after that. no cne was hurt." Placing authority to use troops in higher hands, "delays the shooting, delays the brutality." he said.
