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."

TRANSACTS A GENERAL RISKING 111 SINESS. SAFETV HE. I
POSIT MIXES. TRAVELERS' CHECKS,
Clover-Scedlng Methods.
(By Luther J. 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,
