SIGARO NELSON TO
SING IN PORTLAND
Some 20 years ago a timid, awk­
ward lad attracted his neighbors at
the Belmont Methodist church when
he joined in singing hymns at Sun­
day school. That lad was Sigurd
Nelson, who February 26 will apts'Hr
at the Municipal Auditoriuip in Port­
land with the De RiWke Singers, a
quartet composed of himself, Hardesty
Johnson, tenor; Floyd Townley, ten­
or, and Erwyn Mutch, baritone. Mr.
Nelson has a bass voice.
The De Reszke singers during the
past two years toured continental
Europe and the British Isles. While
abroad they were known as "The
American Quartette.” The four young

A« Sigurd Nelson, who
years old, progressed at
school, where he and his brothers
and sister were students, his voice
attracted more and more attention.
His first solos were rendered at the
Asbury Methodist church in this city.
After graduating from high school
young Nelson went to Whitman Col­
lege, where he graduated. It was
here that he learned the real timbre
of his magnificent voice. Concert
and glee club work brought him to
the notice’ of nationally known mas­
ters. The great singing master, De
Reszke, was impressed with him and
took him as a pupil. He^rent abroad
in 1920, putting in many months of
study. When Sigurd Nelson and his
companions appear in Portland, many
of his boyhood friends will be found
proudly listening from the big audi­
ence.
The boyhood days of the young

Tlie customary and perennial list
of questions with reference to the use
of various fertilizers and cover crop«
is ix-ginning to come to the office of
tlie Experiment Station. Hitch ques­
tions as tlie following are leading
ones: "Shull I continue to use ni­
trate of soda; is there any danger
that I may Injure my «oil by its
continued use?” "What about sul­
phate of ammonia; is it as econom­
ical und as effective as nitrate?"
Questions regarding varions kinds of
cover crops also predominate. The
b-ading question with reference to
this matter is what kind of a cover
■ rop to use.
In order to properly answer some
of these questions, it is worth while
