This Year's Leaves Valuable Next Year Saving falling leaves and similar waste organic matter is a step that can be taken now to help make next year's garden more successful. Use of this organic matter will help in loosening up tight soils and re sult in easier cultivation and better plant growth. Sources of organic matter for composting may be leaves from deciduous ornamentals and fruit trees. Pea vines, bean vines, cabbage leaves and other garden refuse are valuable for compost ing. There are two ways In which the leaves can be saved. One is to make them into a compost heap and the other is to apply them directly to the garden soil and wet down or cultivate them in. One method of making com- Ask for BEACAPS Ext High Potency Natural "B" Complex Vitamin Capsules.

Sprinkle over each square yard of this layer the following ma terial: . pound of ammonia sulphate, Vi pound superphos phate, U pound ground lime. Add enough water to make the layer moist. Rapid decomposi tion depends upon the addition of the chemical fertilizer and keeping the materials moist. On top of this first layer of compost, place a layer of man ure or soil. This layer should be one or two inches deep. Successive layers of organic materials and fertilizers should be added to the compost heap until it is as large as desired. Add water at regular intervals to keep it moist, but not drip ping wet. After the compost pile has been completed for two or three months it should be turned over and repiled. This mixes the compost and pro motes rotting. Compost piles made in the fall will provide rotted organic matter rich in fertilizer values to spake or plow under next spring. The compost may be broadcast over the garden area just before spading or plowing is done. Vegetable Storage Bulletin Offered "Vegetable Storage" is title of a new bulletin issued by the Oregon State college and avail able at the county agent s office. The following suggestions are summarized from the bulletin: In storing onions, bulbs should be well cured in the field, topped and put in open meshed sacks or ventilated crates. A temperature of 36 degrees to 45 degrees is desirable to keep onions from early sprouting. There should be circulation of cool air where onions are stored. Certain varieties such as Ber mudas do not keep well. Yel low Danvers keep well for a long time. Potatoes should be dried off and sorted and stored for a few days at a warm temperature to allow injuries to callous. After this, the tubers should be stored in a dark place in a tempera ture of 34 to 38 degrees. Considerable decay often oc curs in pumpkins and squash in storage. This may be largely prevented if the fruits are fully matured in the field, carefully handled and not subjected to any freezing temperatures be fore being stored. Skin bruises and abrasions must be avoided if the squash are to be kept for any length of time. Cut the squash from the vine. 1L M.

K. Hanna, judge of circuit court. the Every Man's Bible Class of the First Christian church com mended the grand jury on their suggestion of a proposed cur few ordinance. Written by Allan D. Curry, president of the class, the letter stated, "It was decided by the Every Man's Bible Class of the First Christian church to send a letter of commendation for their action in recommending the cur few. We have thought for some time this should be done but re alize the officers will have to have the full cooperation from the parents for success." Curry said today that the par ents should see that their children cooperate and obey the proposed ordinance and "if we all help it will be a matter that can be worked out satisfactorily." leaving at least two Inches of stem On the fruit, and leave in the field for about a week it the weather remains favorable.
