L0' tnllowtne atoraa Locally, we have been having an epidemic of some sort of flu, which has kept some of our folks "under the weather" for some time. Among the latter victims are Bert Pierce and Mrs. J. S. Richardson, who are much better at this time. Bill Monroe and L. C. Larson, working for the Dept. of Agriculture, were here the first of the week, looking for and spraying ragweed. Searching along the river, on the north side, they found only one plant of ragweed, but on lhe south side there was quite a bit. They say the government is trying to destroy it as it is a menace to health, especially to people that are subject to diseases like asthma. The ground is drying fast here, and to halt this sprinklers are running night and day in all directions. Mrs. Ethel Garnett, a genteel lady from Leeks, Staf fordshire, England, arrived here by "coach", and is at present visiting at the home of Mrs. Katherine Leavitt on Old Stage road. Mrs. Garnett is the mother of Mrs. Donald Richardson of Portland, where she was a visitor prior to coming here. Fred Smith returned from Nebraska where he visit ed relatives and friends. Fred says he had a good time, despite the fact that the weather was stormy and wet nearly every day he was there, and threatened several times with tornadoes. The weather man, he says, cau tioned every one to keep their radios on at all times, so they could be warned in time to get into cellars should a tornado appear. . Recently we talked to a man who does not use sprays, who says if they keep on using the chemicals the soil will get so it will not produce a crop. This man uses only barnyard manure and compost for fer tilizer, and to back up his system he can show some of the best and cleanest fruit, berries, and garden truck you could find anywhere. C. C. Hoover tells us he will use potatoes as a booster for growing young trees. In experimenting with this method he has found the potato has enough water in it to furnish trees with plenty of moisture and other elements that give it vitality, and the necessary food for a rapid and healthy growth. Charley plants the little trees In the potatoes and the top root goes down through the potato, leaving the potato to produce more pota toes. Thus, Charley may be growing shade trees, and at the same time producing a crop of spuds. Bob Sage ought to get in on this and grow a mess of spuds under each of his Christmas trees. , . Speaking of potatoes we hear that some of the po tatoes in this area are poor stands, caused by the seed being treated with a chemical recommended to keep it from rotting, which it seems it didn't do. A sample of the rotted potatoes sent to O.S.U. brought a reply that the treatment given the seed was too strong for that variety, and would cause the rot. This reminds us of the time the government was paying the farmers to springtooth their alfalfa fields. Someone wrote to O.S.U. about spring toothing their alfalfa and was told that it would do extensive damage to the roots and ruin the stand. I took this up with the grangers and found that it was the unanimous opinion that if the the alfalfa was not cultivated the bronco grass and other grasses soon take over and soon you would have no alfalfa. Cleonna Appelgate To Head Odd Fellow UN Committee William Pollock and Arnold Harrang, both of Mcdford. Judging was done on the point system. Among the qualifications for dairy prin cess were: first a dairy back ground and residence on an active dairy farm, being be tween the ages of 16 and 25, single, of good character and good health and possessing poise, beauty and good speak ing ability.
