This lack can be made up at least in part by use of leaves from trees and scrubs, lawn clippings or organic ma terials from the garden such as bean vines, cabbage leaves, etc. There are two ways of hand ling these materials. Most de sirable is to add them directly to the soil. If this is not suitable for your conditions, they can be made into a compost heap and used -next spring when the soil is prepared. ' One method of making com post is to pile leaves or other organic refuse one foot deep and covering an area the desired size of the compost heap. Sprinkle over each square yard of this layer the following material: IVi pound of amonium "sulfate, V pound of , superphosphate, V pound of ground lime. Add enough water to make the layer moist. Rapid decomposition de pends 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 two inches deep. Successive lay ers of organic material and fer tilizer shoud be added to the compost heap until it is as large as desired. Add water at regu lar intervals to keep it moist, but not dripping wet. After the compost pile has been completed for two or three months it should be turned over and re- piled.' This mixes the compost and promotes rotting. Do not be afraid of applying too much compost to the garden. Heavy applications aid materi ally in loosening up the soil and promoting good plant growth, If large amounts of leaves are worked directly into the soil two pounds of ammonium sul fate per square rod should be added.

Extension Unit Meetingi Slated Next week will see the Jack son county extension units swinging into their fall program with many units holding their first meetings of the year.

Saving Devices in Meal Preparation"at Oak Grove on Tuesday, October 12, at the home of Mrs. George West on the Jacksonville highway; Tal ent on Wednesday, October 13 at the City Hall; and Phoenix on Friday, October IS, at Mrs. Viola Freer's home. All meetings will begin promptly at 10:30 a. m. Us Caution r;$r In Canned Foods With the'approach of fall and winter when homemakers will be using their home canned pro duce in meal preparations, it is time for another warning that you should boil home canned non-acid vegetables, meat and poultry for 20 minutes before tasting. This story of botulism discovered this year is perhaps unusual, but because of its dead ly nature none of us should take a chance with botulism in home canned foods. Dr. J. E. Simmons, professor of bacteriology at Oregon State College, reports that the first case of .botulinus spoilage in home canned - vegetables to be positively identified in Oregon for several years has been found in some canned asparagus sent to the Oregon State college bac teriology department by a home- maker in northern : Umatilla county. . As several jars of the spoiled asparagus were thrown out, the entire farm flock of chickens was killed by eating it, but for tunately no member of the fam ily even tasted the product. Investigation of the circum stances surrounding the canning of this asparagus, made by Mrs. Myrtle Carter, Umatilla home demonstration agent, revealed that a pressure cooker was used and that the jars of asparagus were processed In the pressure cooker for the recommended time and at the proper pressure. The difficulty is believed to have arisen, however, from two steps In the process. " - The first was that, Instead ol allowing the petcock of the cooker to remain open till tne air was fully exhausted - and steam emerged, the cooker lid was closed until - the pressure began to rise and then was opened for only IS seconds. This Is not enough, according to pro fessor Simmons, to completely exhaust the air. The desired temperature will not be obtained at - the recommended pressure unless the air is completely re moved.- A second step which probab ly contributed to the spoilage was that the water In which the asparagus was blanched was poured into the jars. Botulinus spores . that . might otherwise have been washed off were thus returned to the product. With' the marked Increase in home vegetable canning this year, utmost care is being -nrged to avoid danger from 'such spoilage.) The standard recom mendation is that no non-acid canned product, such as vege tables or meat, which shows the slightest indication of spoilage should ever be tasted before having been thoroughly boiled after opening. Although there may be hundreds of cases of canned food spoilage caused by other reasons than botulinus, it is never safe to give spoiled food to animals lest the whole flock or herd may be killed. Thorough boiling before you taste is the only safe rule, says Professor Simmons. Boiling kills the poison eyen though not the spores.' By MARIAN J. FARRELL, Home Demonstration Agent. Airmail By Train When Planes Full Seattle, Oct. 8. (U.PJ Post master George E. Starr of Seat tle today said army pre-emption of plane facilities has many times forced postal authorities to send bags of airmail by train. "Postmasters are confronted with the problem of holding air mail until the next scheduled mail plane or of putting the mail on a train," he said. "Many times the next plana comes through fully loaded and the train distribution would have been faster." Die Mall Tribune Wan Ada. GLASSES Dr. R. M. Hood, Optometrist pitta Bldf.
