I was in a growing patch recently and the plants were higher than my waist. They plant it much like you would cabbage, except that the seeds are planted under ashes. They build a brush fire and after enough ashes are accumulated they place the seeds In the ground directly beneath the ashes.

I don't exactly understand the object of this, but they claim It produces the best results. When the plants are up they are transplanted in the field." Determined to Get Portland Industry t. t.

A summary was prepared by the commercial economy board of the Council of National Defense Septem ber 27 1917 showing- some of the r-ult of Its recommendation for e'-onomy In the delivery service' of retail stores.

These recommendations, which were Issued by the board June J7, 1917, requested retail merchants to reduce thplr service by curtailing free delivery of small purchases, by eliminating xperlal deliveries, by restricting deliveries, where possible, to not more than one a day on each by reduclnK the acceptance of return goods to a minimum, and by establishing cooperative systems In the ttiall and medium-sized cities and towns. This summary shows that the merchants in 26 cities, with a total population of 3,225,673, have reduced their deliveries to one a day on each route, the merchants in five cities, with a total population of 1,593,074, have re duced their dall deliveries to two in the central section and one in the suburbs, and the merchants in 23 cities, with a total population of S. 870, 341. have reduced their deliveries to two a day. Several other cities, from which exact information had not been obtained when this summary was prepared, have made some reduction.

The merchants In 23 cities, with a total population of 5,588.076, make a charge for special deliveries in order to curtail that service. The merchants in 14 cities, with a total population of 2,488,934. have placed a two-day limit on returned goods; those in eight cities, witti a total pouulatlon of 2.44 5.646, have placed a three-day limit An returned goods; and those in 11 other cities. with, a popluation of P.S77.6S7, have placed restrictions of five to seven days on the goods "privilege. In 169 cities and towns In the United States, with a total population of 26,232,943, the board's recommendations had been adopted in some form, or were being considered at the time this summary was prepared.

TOBACCO RAISING SHRUBS; FORESTER -WOULOD PUT A STOP Annual Losses in America Attributed to Forest Insects Is Up in Millions. The Massachusetts Forestry associa- tlon ha recently drawn attention- to the practice of using the United States as a dumping ground for dis eased trees and shrubs from foreign countries. Its suggestion is that there should 4e an entire prohibition of imports. In speaking of the matter.

H. Reynolds, secretary of the forestry association, says: "Within recent years, the enormous losses suffered by the people of this country from the Introduction of for, eign insects and plant diseases have, brought forth a determined demand for. greater protection from such pests. These losses at first seemed fall only upon the producers, out as the cost of production increases, the cost the consumer must increase, and eventually everybody bears a part Of this burden. These nuisances are costing the farmers, fruit growers and woodland owners millions of dollar yearly.

They have no redress, yet.1 these Imported pests keep coming. The only thing they can do is to pais the cost of fighting such pests on to' the consumer of the crop if indeed they succeed in raising a erop. The consumer complains about the high cost of living, and the natter la dropped. "Granted that in the final 'analysts the consumer must pay the bill. -what does it amount to? Here are some es-' tlmates by the United State depart ment of agriculture of annual losses, which are believed to be very conserv- -atlve.

The Hessian fly in the wheat regions causes a loss of the coddling moth costs over tll.000,-000 to the frut grower; the Ban Joss arale lays another toll upon him of 110.000,000; and these are-only a few typical examples of the hundred or more destructive Imported insects. The chestnut bark disease, the whit pins blister rust, and the citrus canker sr good examples of Imported plant diseases that have cost and are costing the country millions of dollars In loss and in an effort to control them. It is conservatively estimated that the total loss ca-uscd by these imported pests to pur forests, orchards and. farm crops is $500,000,000 annually. This is a tax of $5 on each person In thl country of $25 for a family of five; a considerable item In the cost of living.

That a good many farmers in western Lane county and In Curry county are having great success in raising tobacco Is the statement of Ben Eddy of the forest service, who has Just returned from a six months' survey- WESTERN PROVES EAST PEORIA OFFERS 40 ACRES AND $100,000 TO GET FACTORY FROM of vehicles from 55 to 44. A third! store reducing deliveries from three to two a day made a 10 per cent saving in men and vehicles, and a fourth store which had previously operated 42 vehicles reduced the number to 36. A fifth store reduced the number of deliveries from four a day to one a day, with a 40 per cent saving in men and equipment.

A sixth store reduced deliveries from three to onr a day1, employing one man and one vehicle in the place of three men and three vehicles, i These are typical of the savings that have resulted. Some merchants who have adopted two deliveries a day expect to reduce this to one a day as soon as their organization and the public become accustomed the restricted service. In the smaller cities a keen interest in co-operative delivery systems is being manifested. The board has made a careful investigation and finds that ordinarily the number of men employed can be reduced by at least one-half when the co-operative system is introduced. The board is gathering full information concerning the organization and operation of these co-operative systems.

The subject of the board's campaign for economy in this service is to enable retail merchants to operate with smaller forces during the war. As men are withdrawn from delivery work and other store activities by voluntary enlistment in the army and navy, and by service In the National army, it Is desirable that they should not be replaced by others who are more urgently needed in agriculture, shipbuilding, transportation, mining, manufacturing, and other work that is essential to the welfare of the country. Malheur Ships Four Carloads of Honey Four csrs of the famous clear Malheur county honey have been shipped from Vale during the past week. West fall. Harper, Jamieson and Cairo apiaries were represented in the shipment although 75 cent was produced in the neighborhood of Vale, says the Enterprise.

The first shipment consisted of 538 cases and 120 pounds each of extract honey, netting the local bee-men $8500. This honey will likely go to England. W. Pollock, the purchasing agent, hightly praised the Malheur county product and expressed his willingness to contract for future production. Another shipment of 1236 fases of fancy comb honey was shipped to A.

I. Root company of Ohio netting the producers $4000 and one car of comb honey to Seattle added $3600 more to the total. This brings the total to 1 over 116.000. This is exceptionally good produc- Rasmussen Co. Makers of Paints and Varnish N.

Long Straw Horse Collars East Oak and Unioa Atv There Is a serious ambition and determination on the part of East Pe oria, 111., to snatch the Lambert Mul trplus Trublpruf automobile tire in dustry away from Portland. There are due in this city two men from New York who have been paying a visit to East Peoria to investigate the propo sitlon. They found the East Peorlaus sincerely In earnest in their deter mlnatlon to secure the factory, so the New Yorkers concluded to come on to Portland and themselves make inves tigation of the present plant snd the men behind It. The Peoria Sunday Journal, published across the river from East Peoria, of last Sunday, contained a long and interesting ar ticle on the subject, from which it ap pears that If the New Yorkers are satisfied with the outlook of the enter prise, when they have investigated It they stand ready to back it in any amount necessary to make It one of the biggest factories of the kind In the world. And they will find It Just as represented.

Eight Ways to Bare Gasoline Automobile clubs are getting after the "gasoline slacker," and the follow ing eight rules have been prepared for the guidance of motorists who wish to be economical, by Manclus 8. Hutton, laboratory engineer of the Automobile Club of America: 1. Do not allow the engine to run idle, except when absolutely necessary. 2. Run the car on a lean mixture.

8. Prevent leaks in the gasoline line, and shut off gasoline at the tank whenever possible. 4. Keep the motor free of carbon. A carbonized motor is a large consumer of fuel.

5. Change gears more frequently In order to run the engine at high, economical, and efficient speed. 6. Keep the moving parts well lubricated. 7.

Keep tires properly Inflated. 8. Use kerosene for cleaning instead of gasoline. Crop Outlook Unfavorable A cablegram received from th American eonsul general at Auckland, New Zealand, dated Octofoer 21, states that the general crop outlook is unfavorable; that the wheat acreage Is 20 per cent short.

The total holdings of butter in 332 storage houses reporting show an increase for October 1 over September 1 of 3,354,098 pounds, according to a compilation made by the United States food administration. However, these houses Show a loss of 3,064,697 pounds, as compared with the same important improvements in the "trouble proof," "puncture proof tire which he invented or began to invent four or five years ago.

It is believed, however, that his tenacity hisstick-to-itiveness has at last attained perfection, and that he will have easy sledding from this time on, and that if he does finally depart from Portland- it will be with many regrets tliat he must forsake his native city and state. At present the plant is located at 125 Grand avenue north, with an escellent equipment, but not of sufficient capacity to meet the demands even now made upon it. Unsolicited orders for its product are greater than can be filled, many of these coming from Peoria and East Peoria, where it is proposed to remove the Institution. With the growth of the buslnesss of the corporation, additional executive assistance became necessary, therefore E. R.

Anderson, with the North Bank railroad almost from the beginning of its operation, has been selected as manager, and he has entered upon the duties of his office. The tire itself, as heretofore par tially explained, is a new and original departure in rubber and fabric manufacture, eliminating some of the mo torist's principal troubles in the way of punctures, rimcuts, blowouts, etc. It is in no way a solid tire, but the air used Is not under pressure, a stretchless belt feature being one of the results obtained. Resiliency and all other riding qualities are fully equal to the ordinary pneumatic. The tires have gone 20,000 miles and are not yet worn out.

larger Plant Proposed "We are going to add to the capacity of our Portland plant as rapidly as possible." Mr. Anderson says. A letter was on Thursday received from D. Cameron, Detroit, saying he desired the Lambert tire for 800 automobiles he is to equip for the American Tobacco company of New York, and another from a Tapoma man asking for 100 sets. Early in the week J.

C. Coyle and John Hausara of Peoria arrived in Portland to investigate the tire proposition. Their stay of five days brought their conclusions to a head, and they returned to their homes more enthusiastic than ever, and declared to the writer that they will "bar the industry. J. C.

Coyle Is a brother of J. W. Coyle of New York. oajiet PxtjA: NOW SHOWS GAIN date In 1916, or about I per cent. The exports of butter for July and August this year decreased 2,437,555 pounds as compared with the same months in 1916.

The exports of cheese however, increased 3,224,694 pounds in these months. The average wholesale price of butter for September in the United States was 43.48 cents per pound, while the average retail price was 50 cents. The regulated wholesale price in England was 53.76 cents per pound. The average wholesale price of cheese In the United States during September was 25.78 cents per pound, and the average retail price 36.1 cents. In England the regulated wholesale price was 38 cents per pound.

Watermelons Go Into Byproducts A Mobile (Ala.) brewery closed because of prohibition in that state, has been reopened as a factory where watermelons are turned into vinegar. The juice is used for this purpose, and the rinds are made into stock feed-Five thousand acres of land will be planted to watermelons next year to supply this factory with raw material. FROM OREGON TO ALL POINTS IN THE WEST Great Northern Company Has 27 Persons on Payroll and Is Snowed With Orders, The Great Northern Casket company. Macadam and Gaines streets, is one of the new Industries which has come to Portland. H.

K. and G. E. Merwln are its owners, and they are occupying a two-story and basement building 100x200 feet In size. They are already employing 27 hands, are "snowed under" with orders, and will increase their force soon, as some expected necessary ap pliances are- received.

"The Merwin brothers came to the Pacific coast from St. Louis. About five years ago they purchased a small casket factory in Salem. Some few months ago It was determined to quit Salem and remove to a larger city. In some manner this came to the ears of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Immediate correspondence ensued.

A free factory site was offered and substantial financial assistance. At about this time Ta-coma likewise entered the contest for the factory, and even better inducements were personally proffered G. E. Merwln, who had gone to the Sound to investigate the situation. So rosy were these that the gentleman expected to accept one or the other, and would have done so we're it not for the fact that at this time a representative of the Ladd Estate company came upon the scene.

"The result was that we came here to see what the gentleman had to offer, and was introduced to Fred Strong and Earl Clark of the Ladd Estate company," said Mr. Merwin.

New Shipyard Is Built in Honolulu A shipbuilding plant has been established on the Ala Moan a beach, half a mile distant from the Honolulu Iron Works, Honolulu, and three schooners are now being built there. The first of the ships, now approaching completion, will be used in bringing firewood from the islands of Mauri and Hawaii to Honolulu, and will be equipped with auxiliary engines In order to save time in crossing the channels. A channel 300 feet long will be dredged through the coral reef that connects beach with the open sea for the launching of vessels. OFFER IS MADE TO TIRE MAKERS Local Concern Has More Orders Than it Can Fill Plans Made to Enlarge, By H. S.

Harcourt There Is spirit and life in at least some places on earth, and one of these is that Illinois town of East Peoria. The Sunday journal of East Peoria comes to hand with a column article relating to the effort being made by East Peoria to coax away from Portland the industry referred to a couple of weeks ago known as the Lambert Multlplus company. It states that John M. Tracy and J. TV.

Coyle, promi nent New Yorkers, were at that time in East Peoria seriously investigating the Lambert auto tire invention, a factory Cor the manufacture of which East Peoria is offering 40 acres of ground and a $100,000 stock subscription. The New Torkers have an eye to getting in on the deal, Mr. Coyle, according to the declaring: "I fully anticipate that a couple of million dollars will be available tor Investment in the proposition in the next several months, the money com-in from New York city, provided the citizens of Peoria continue as enthusiastic for the project as they have expressed themselves to Mr. Tracy and myself. I was particularly pleased with a report made by H.

R. Dennis of the First National bank, showing that all of the money which is being deposited in th bank is under the control of a committee from the East Peoria Commercial club, to be checked out by it. This will give great faith to our investors in the east, and will be a strong factor in bringing heavy Investment to this project." Mr. Tracy is a mechanical engineer and Mr. Coyle an official of the West ern Union Telegraph company.

"They had several suitable factory sites which they offered us at extremely low prices, on our own tern, and any financial assistance we. need-' ed. But it so happened that we were not in position to accept any of them.

For one reason, we were offered a lease on this building at a very low rate, by the acceptance of which ws weuld not be tying up our money or withdrawing it from our business. Notwithstanding this, however, the Ladd Estate people expressed a perfect willingness to aid us in any manner we desired, now that we had determined to locate our factory here. And It was this factor, very largely, which caused us to arrive at this determination." H. K. Merwin, the eldest of the brothers.

Is president, and G. E. Merwln, secretary-treasurer of the corporation, all of the stock" of which is owned by them. In speaking of Portland's advantageous location as a shipping center, O. E.

Merwln says that from here one can ship in all directions south, as his firm does, to the Mexican border; east to Utah and Wyoming points and north to intervening territory as far as British Columbia. This condition was one of the strong points in favor of this location. Orders are now on file for caskets from undertakers as dis- I tant as Honolulu, Salt Lake Oakland. San Francisco, Great Falls. Tacoma.

Seattle and British Columbia cities. The products of the concern embrace all grades of caskets, from the most expensive to the most modest In price. What Is liodestone? A reader asks: "What Is loadestone, and where Is It obtained?" Loadestone is an ore of Iron, consisting: of the protoxide and peroxide in a state of combinations, and frequently called the magnetic oxide of iron. It was known to the ancients, and they were acquainted with the singular property which it has of attracting: Iron and communicating to a needle the property of taking a direction to the north and south. It la obtained where Iron ore deposits are found.
