More than that it is forbidden to advertise in toxicating liquor in newspapers, periodicals, on bill boards or by any other means. It looks very much as though the poor old "Demon Rum" is about on his last legs and rather "wabbly" on them. When Georgia will hang a whiteman on the testimony of a negro, and on top of that adopt prohibition, nothing else can make itself in anyway surprising. From the little news permitted to drift out of India it appears there is considerable unrest among the Hindus, and quite a strong probability of a holy war being de clared. This state of affairs is laid at the door of the normfltis whn are said to be stirring, throueh the Turks, all Mohammedans to revolt. Should this happen a situa tion already sufficiently horrible will become infinitely more so. However with the Christian world at each other's throats the worshippers of Mahomet can hardly be blamed for getting busy and helping kill off. the hated XJiaours. Governor Spry, of Utah, certainly has the courage of his convictions, for he has issued his defy to the I. W. W. and boldly says that if the police do not run them out of Utah, he will. He also rebukes the president for his efforts to save Hillstrom, claiming he had no tangible facts to back his request for further delay. Spry has a big contract on his hands, but it is possible the death of Hillstrom may cause his associates to do some thinking before doing further damage to property or taking other lives. MARKETS THE KNOTTY PROBLEM The discussion of conditions of marketing by the Sfoto Wnrtimilhiml Snrietv. in session at Corvallis yes- terday, disclosed that the fruit-growers are in the same boat with the farmers as to markets. A. H. Harris of Portland read a paper on "The Grower as a Salesman, ' and in the discussion that followed made the statement that unless better marketing systems are devised for the protection of the orchardists with a small acreage, the business of iruit raising wouia Decome a a nui ma.no game" or fall into the hands of the foreign element. It would seem from this that the question of markets with the fruit grower as with the farmer is far more important than the growing of the crops. Holding apple shows or prune shows will not help get rid, of the crops or add to the price of the products any more than holding corn shows will make a market for that product, or potato shows sell the spuds. The simple truth is both as to farming and fruit growing that the market question is the one that needs answering. The farmers need not be told how to raise more stuff until they can find sale for what they now raise. Under existing conditions the more they raise above a certain amount which the local markets will absorb, the worse they are off. This does not apply, of course to wheat or other cereals for which the world offers a market, but it does apply to practically all vegetables, and most fruits, for the limit of time which they can be kept, demands a irklv reached.

SOME ATROCIOUS INHUMANITY" Dr. H. J. Haiseldon, who refused to operate on the Vina attained his obiect and COt in the limelight. Reputable physicians almost universal ly permit such infants to die, saying nothing about it. As an act of unnecessary brutality he passed the whole matter up to the mother, thus making her, as it were, pass sentence of death upon her own baby, brought into the world hopelessly deformed and defective, through an attack of typhoid fever which she suffered before the baby was born. Can anything more cold blooded, more brutal, more inhuman, more atrociously wicked, more w..fioeiir m-noi tli.in this act of the doctor in making the mother pass upon the matter, or even allowing her i-r flint tVia hnlw mipht have been saved, defective and deformed though it would be? What Spartan traits the mother must have had to make the decision as this mother did. How her heart strings must have been torn as weighing her baby's life in the balance, she chose for him death rather than a life of misery and perhaps of CU And yet this physician deliberately passed this decis ion up to her, and apparently for no reason other than to secure publicity for himself.

County Fruit Inspector Discusses Brown Rot fnntinnintr nia artinlaa An tflA fliapfm es of fruits grown in this valley, their causes and control, C. 0. Constable, county fruit inspector, discusses in to- uays article, Drown rot, especially found in the peach growing districts of the east, and in this section, on the prune, cherry, apricot as well, as the peach. The cause and development of the brown rot, and best meaus for its control are fully discussed. At the request of several orchardists who were interested in the article which appeared in The Capital Journal on Cyliudrosporinm Leal' Spot, Brown Rot and Hyneta Albida, also a later article mi tha Ufa tiiutnrxr nt f VI i nl rn.nnri urn Ll have promised, as beat I aan to write tne me nistory or me oiner iwo. ine one on the Syneta Albida will appear later.

Cause. The brown rut nn nrunes. nenches ami apricots is caused by a fungus known as sclerotinia fructigena. 1'Uis fungus exists in two spore forms. The summer spore form has nlrondv been described The winter or sexual spore stnge de velops in early spring from mummies that have fallen to the ground. Tins statie does uot ordinarily develop on the mummies until after they have lain on the ground 18 months. Tlin .tnii. nF ftmmia ia ilnt-rtl mi .n,l from resting masses of mycelium called scierotia, which develops in the tissues of mummified fruits. A definite fruit body is produced known as an opo tliecium and commonly spoken of as a "eup fungus." This consists of a slender stalk bearing at the summit a cup-shnped structure one-quarter , to one-half inch in diameter. These are found at the surface of the ground, sur rounding buried or half buried mum mies. ISeveral may be formed from the same mummy. The jimer surface of the expanded bell-shaped portion is lined by great numbers of cylindrical sacks culled asci, cacu ot which contains eiuht spores. These asci form a smooth layer. Tho details of structure are vis ible only on microscopic examination. The spores are ejected forcibly from the asci, and waited by currents ot air, rtMK'n T in T.rnPH. r. m nrn Hh n tjinr much of the blossom blight is caused oy direct jureetion riom tue spores.

It is a bad practice to allow diseased fruits to remain in orchards, since, as shown above, tho fungus is capable of living over winter in such mumuiies and start ing tho disease in the spring. Early plowing is to bo recommended where possible, and when consistent with good horticultural practice. This meth od would probuuly not entirely prevent the formation of the winter spore staizo and therefore, where praccical the de cayed fruit sliuld be gathered and de stroyed in tho full.
