SALEM'S celebration Saturday Is to be tho flnoBt ever held In the city, and the occasion is well worth It. It speaks well for the future of the valley that Salem is not to cele brate alono, but that her good fortune 1s to be welcomed by her neighboring cities and communities, who will unite with her In her rejoicing. It shows the passing of the little Jealousies of the old days, tho awakening to the fact that our neighbors' misfortunes, or 111 luck, are not to be gloated over, but to bo commlsserated, and that whatever benefits one member of the big valley community benefits all, though not. perhaps in an equal degree. It la for this reason, this passing of tho old-tlmo Jealousies and bickerings that Salem feels especially honored, and profoundly gratified, that Albany, Corvallls, Dallas, Sllvcrton, Kails City, Stayton, all her surrounding neigh bors, aro coming with bands and ban ners, to rejoice with ua In celebrating the completion of another railroad, bringing us nil in closer and more friendly relations with each other, Nor Is It the towns alono who re joice with us, for the farmers from nil sections of the valley will bo here to take part In the celebration. It means so much to the whole valley, that It Is not entirely a Salem celebration, rather a celebration by the valley, but held In Salem. Arrangements are being completed for the parade, and an Interesting pro gram Is prepared. Salem will try to make everybody feel tho heartiness of her welcome, though In this she will probably fall, for only if our visitors aro as glad to come as we are to have them can they realize how much pleas ure their presence will give us. ! to do about It?" In the meanwhile, It Ib undeniable that the price for lights is far too high and some steps should be taken to reduce it. Tho average family In Salem pays $24 a year for water and It pays about the same , price for lights. The Journal has no means of knowing what the tax on the city is for lights, but It believes that It Is not less than $100,000 a year, and It may be much more than that. How ever, tho nggrcgate sum tells nothing, t but the monthly charges amounting to an average of $2, or $24 a year is too great a tax. The water and light bills of the average family come mighty closo to $50 a year, a heavy tax to be carried by tho wage earnesr. THREE AM SEVEN ACRE FARMS FOR POULTRY ELECTRIC LIMITS TOO HIGH. THERE Is no doubt about tho price paid by Salem folks for water be ing tro much. When It costs a family as much for water as It dooB for bread, thero Is something wrong somewhere, and tho fault does not lie with tho bread, either. But, while the water rates aro high, they are modest compared to the charge for electric lights. Thero Is no place In the lTnll n1 Slates where electric lights should bo so cheap as In the Wlllnmetto vnl ley towns. There Ib no place In the world where thero Is such an abund ance of cheap water power as here. Kvery few miles coming down from tho mountains Is a flno stream, cap nblo of furnishing Immense power, and this power Is cheaply converted Into electricity, and cheaply delivered nt great distances. Salem's lights are generated by water power, by a water power that, a few years ami belonged to the state. This power has been per niltled to pass from Its ownership to that of the IV R., I,, ft . Co., which Is now charging the people for the pro duct of that power. The Capital Jour nal, during tin- recent session of the legislature, repeatedly pointed out the state's criminal carelessness in per mitting any of lis water powers to pass out of Its control, ami here Is a very strong argument In favor of The Journal's contention. If the water power Is owned by the state, anil leased to users, the prices of Its pro duct can he controlled, but once let the ownership pass from II, and the new owners have the people at their mercy. More than llils. In rase Salem or any other coniniuiilllcH should desire to own mid operate lis own lighting plant, there will soon be no available power, the corporations gobbling all of them, snapping their fingers, ami slm lily asking you: "What aro you going J. h, Ilray, of Albany wrote Proof. 1 James Dryden of the Oregon Agricul tural College. "Please send fact about tho 7 acre and 3 aero successes. Wo 'are beginners and want to succeed." Prof. Dryden replied as follows: I "It Is posslblo to make a living or money on a small tract of that size un der favorable conditions. I do not rec jommond tho place as small as 3 or even 5 acres for poultry koeplng If the 'purpoBo is to make a living for a fam ily by selling the product a so much a dozen for tho eggs, and so much a 1 pound for the chickens, but if the poul j tryman can work up some spodul line In breeding stork, thait Is, If he can get :moro than market prices for the pro ' duct, ho can make a living on a few 'acres with fowls alone. Where you jsoll tho eggs by tho dozen you can hardly keep enough chickens on 3 acres, or even 5, to make a pornianent success of It. "That Is, you can, probably, on most kinds of soils and In tho climate that wo havo In the Willamette valley, keep 100 hens to tho acre and they will bring In a profit, with good man agement of about $l.f0 a hon above j the cost, of feed. That Is, after paying for all the feed they eat thero should bo about $1.50 left to pay for labor etc. j "If the soil Is of a light nature, that Is, rather porous and light, you can ; keep moro than 100 to the ncro. The trouble In over-crowding the ground Is, In a few years tho Boll becomes contaminated with tho droppings, and It sooner or later resulu In unhealthy stock decrease In vitality and grea'er difficulty In hatching and raising tho chickens. Ily keeping 100 hens to the acre and then growing other sluff with the chickens using half the ground each year for growing some kind of crop and rotating the chickens and crops, I ir. Is posslblo to keep the ground In a I better sanitary condition and to con tinue tho business successfully. The 4-ncre place I mentioned from, which over $(1000 worth of ixniltry and eggs were sold In a year, had very light soil and was In a climate where there ( wasn't as much rain as here. The owner made additional revenue by jselllng breeding stock and eggs for hatching." Says the Serum Is Entirely Harmless, That Ho Tried It on Himself llefore Using on Others. I UNITED niBSS LEASED W1I1B.1 Ottawa, Ont., March 13 Dr. Frlod erlch F. Frledmann, of Herlln, dis cussed yesterday before the Canadian Association for the Prevention of Tu berculosis his treatment for tuberculo sis, the manner of Its discovery, and the precautions ho took to Insure its harmlessncss. He sas he has spent 23 years In research work to find a tuberculin that was not toxic and viru lent, and, having found it, tried it first of all, on himself. He discarded human tubercle baoll II, he said, after many experiments, because he feared the results were too dangerous. The end of his research came, ho asserted, when he found a ba cillus which originated In a cold blooded animal, the turtle, which ba cillus became a-vlrulent and a-toxlc after frequent transplantation. Remedy Declared Harmless. "When that condition was reached," he said, "I Injected It Into myself, then Into patients Infected with tuberculo sis, then Into healthy children In tu bercular BiirroundlngB. I have found the remedy Invariably harmlcsss." Discussing tests of his vaccine as a preventative of tuberculosis, Dr. Frled mann In his address to the convention expressed the hope that this would be found to be the great use of his discov ery in the future. "I have found this remedy harmless when I used It for patients ranging from enrllest childhood to the most advanced ago In all forms of applica tion subcutaneous. Intramuscular and intravenous even In big doses," said Dr. Frledmann, "nnd equally effi cient in all forms of tuberculosis, pul monary, bone, joint, glandular and skin, Aside from absolute hopeless cases, whose fates were already sealed, the remedy has proved Its efficiency in most instances. Protection Is Also Needed. "To obtain the Ideal, to eradicate tuberculosis as an epidemic disease, It Is necessary not only to cure the tubercular Individuals now living, but also to protect by a method following the principle of .Tenner's vaccination In guarding the future generations from Infection. "So far I have vaccinated 3,"0 chil dren, varying In age from 1 year to 3 years. Most of these children were liv ing In tubercular environments and much exposed to Infection from the source. The enrllest Immunizations were made 17 months ago, and all the children are well today, and free from all symptoms of scrofula or tubercu losis. "There Is a well-founded hope, therefore, that this will prove the right way, and the one to which our future efforts will have to be directed." 5 This Home-Made Cough Syrup Will Surprise You Stop Even Whooping Cong (lulckly.

Chapln, Government Ag ricultural Agent, Salem, Ore. Realizing tho Importance of clover In tha Willamette valley, both as a money-maker and as a soil Improver, It Is my purpose to give this crop special attention. The advantages of clover growing, however, aro goner ally understood, so It Is only neces sary to demonstrate that clover can lie grown in certain localities. While thero may ho smnll areas In this sec tion In which natural soli conditions prevent the successful growing of clover, I liellevo proper cultural meth ods will Insure good success. The fol lowing general cultural methods should bo observed: Hired Ions Given. First Tho soil should be properly drained. A soil that Is waterlogged Ib not a suitable home for clover. Second The soli should be well manured. This Is Important to Im prove tho physical condition of the soli and to Insure good bacterial ac tion. Third The soil should be plowed at least eight Indies deep, 10 or 12 would be better, providing the land has ever before been plowed deep. Not more than two Inches of fresh subsoil should bo turned up at ono time. Fourth The soil should be limed. Nearly If not quite all of the soil In this valley Is more or less acid. This Is es)cclnlly true of the hill lnnds. tons of crushed lime stone per acre should lie spread broadcast and har rowed Into the surface soil nfter It Is plowed, As little as one-half ton per acre of hydrated lime has proven ben eficial. Fifth The soil should be lnocculat cd with clover bacteria. From 200 to 400 pounds per acre of soll taken from an old clover field should be spread over the field and harrowed in at tbo time of seeding. This soil should be taken from the surface foot after re moving the first two Inches, Sixth Drill seed In if possible. mui in i .. i . I i ins win iubiu b ttu even ujveruig ui all the seed at the proper depth. Half an Inch. Is sufficient, and In no case Bhould it be covered more than one and one-half Inch. Seventh Roll the land well after seeding with a corrugated roller, If such a roller Is available. If a smooth roller Is used, a light harrow with the teeth slanted back should follow. Time of Seeding. On land where clover has not been grown It may be necessary to seed the clover alone, that Is, without a nurse crop. In such cases the land should be prepared as early In the spring as possible and worked occasionally with a springtooth harrow or a spikctooth harrow until May or June, when the clover should be seeded. The occa sional working before seeding will de stroy weeds and help to hold the moiBt ure. A firm seed bed will also be In sured. Clover may also be seeded In fall sown grain. Good stands are fre quently Becured by seeding broadcast In February on the surface of the ground, but It is safer to follow the seeding with a harrow or a roller. This Insures a better covering and will usually be a benefit to the grain. The middle of March or the first of April Is early enough for this seeding. The ground is warmer at that time of year and the seed being covered will germinate at once. Clover may also be seeded with spring grain at the time of seeding the grain. It may be seeded ahead of the drill, in which case the drill will cover tho seed, or It may be sown af ter the drill and covered with a har row. In either case the ground should be rolled, ns this will bring the soil particles and the seed Into closo con tact, Insuring quicker and better gjr mlnatlon, nntl a bettor bed for the tiny rootlets. If the ground is spring plowed It should be both harrowed and rolled after tho grain Is drilled. The writer will be glad to visit any farmer In Mnrlon or Polk counties and examine tho soil and give advice on j the ground ns to the bcBt methods of ! starting a field! of clover. Any other assistance along agricultural lines will also be gladly given, either by corre j Bpondenco or by a personnl visit, SALEM DRUGGIST DESERVES PRAISE i J J. C.
