DEPARTMENT OF
E
BEFITS CITED
Douglus county agriculture is un
detKoiuR a thorough investigation,
accord i he to County Agent J. Ro
land Parker. Committees compos
ed of prominent producers for the
past two months have been col
lecting Information ou th. major
agricultural commodities ot the
county in preparation for the agri
cultural economic outlook confer
ence scheduled for February IS
und 19.
There Is nothing mysterious
about a furm outlook conference,"
suys County Agent J. Holand Par
ker. "It is just a buslnesB-like at
tempt on the part of the producers
of the county, with the help ot the
agricultural extension service, to
assemble all the facts possible
about the agriculture In the coun
ty and from these facts to decide
us near as possible what 1b the
most profitable program to follow
in the future."
A similar economic conference
was held by producers In Douglas
county in November, 1925, at which
time the possibility of a profitable
poultry industry was brought to the
attention of the people, resulting in
the development ot commercial egg
production to & point where the
Pacific Cooperative Poultry Pro
ducers established a local packing
plant. Other -benefits came from
the 1925 conference which have
benefited Douglas county to the ex
tent ot Increasing the agricultural
income thousands of dollars, states
Mr. Parker. The value of alfalfa
as a soil builder and feed crop
was stressed, since that time the
acreage of alfalfa has more than
doubled and the planting ot other
legumes has increased.
Much benefit Is expected to re
sult from the outlook conference,
is the opinion of many of those
working on the various committees,
us each committee is taking an in
ventory . of a basic agricultural
commodity aud will report their
findings ut the conference. Com
mittees working include those on
horticulture, farm crops, dairy,
livestock, paultry, turkeys, Irriga
tion aud economics, the later cov
ering finance, taxation and land
us?.

Free Seeds Halted
in '23, U. S. Still
Telling Millions
The flow of "free seed" letters
is beginning again, but indications
are mere will be fewer than lust
year. For 13 years the U. S. de
partment of agriculture has beeu
trying to convince lim.UOO.uuO peo
ple that it hus no free seeds or
plants. Vet each year, as spring
aproaches, thousands ot requests
pour in tiom farms, suburbs und
penthouses. And all the writers
of these letters meet disappoint
ment. Years ago previous to 1U23
there was an annual appropria
tion for tree seeds for congression
al distribution through tne depart
ment of agriculture. But in 1923
the government ueeided to discon
tinue the distribution of this great
quantity of seed since it was only
commercial garden seed such as
could be bought from any good
seed house and did not necessarily
represent varieties better than
those in common use.
Not only does the department .of
agriculture have no ftee seed, it
has no seeds or plants for sale
either.
HIGHER INTEREST IN
DAIRYING SHOWN
PR1XEVILL.E A good many
cows from Crook county dairy
herds have been sold to California
buyers recently and furmers of
the county are saving more heifer
calves this year than they have
for the past few years, reports
County Agent E. L. Woods. Mr.
Wjods believes the latter fact
shows that more farmers are be
coming Interested In dairying due
to the increased sule for cows and
the steady butterfut murkct.
