Good Results With Grasses,
Legumes Obtained Where
Haying Is Periled.
HayliiK weather In Oregon has
been uuiiHiiiilly favorable this sea
son, but In years when rains make
buying hazardous, either grass or
legumes may be made into Biluge
with excellent results, according to
experiments conducted In recent
years at the Astoria brunch experi
ment station,
These experiments wore designed
primarily (o find methods suitable
for use In coast counties, where
spring rains are particularly preva
lent, hut the results iiIho have appli
cation throughout western Oregon,
says II. It. I To well, siiperliitendeiit
of the station. ,
Previous difficult ieH with mak
ing silage out of grass or legumes
have been largely can sed 'by the.
fact that thesor when cut-in .tho de

without the addition of Hupplenien
lury .carbnhydmles, This dlfl'icul
ty has been overcome through, the
addition of . molasses In amounts
varying from I0 pounds per ton of
grass to about 75 pounds per ton
ot green' legumes, i . ' ;
Moisture Important .
Another important factor in mak
ing this type of silage Is In see that
lhe material contains ample mois
ture, 'says Howell. There Ih likely

ed,- If-proper amounts of water and
molasses are added, the experi
ments havo shown. It la highly
essential that ample water be add

Wheat, Corn, Livestock and
Dairy Industries Held

farmers machinery to raise their In
come to u lovu) of equality with
that of Industry and labor.
i he new farm act provides -for
the establishment of an "ever nor
mal" granary for wheat and corn.
Kbccess crops of bumper years may
be withheld) from markets, through
government commodity loans, until
they are needed In years of short
crops. Officials believe such regu
lation of tho flow of products into
markets will stabilize farm prices.
Mmusors of the farm law also be
lieve it will do much to stabilize
tho dairy and livestock industries,
particularly if the corn progrum
works effectively.
Insurance, vital
Of vital interest to the farmer fs
the crop insurance program estab
lished by congress. Beginning with
tho 11KI9 crop, growers may secure
protection against losses from
drought, flood, hall, freezes and in
sects. Premiums will be paid la
wheat In years of good yields and
losses will be paid In wheat when
crops (all.
Officials said the Insurance pro
gram should avert income disasters
that followed severe droughts in
and IDIKi.
Final dates on which It would ac
cept farmer applications for Insur
ance covering lhe lDUD wheat crop
have been set by the federal cron
insurance corporation.
The Oregon deadline Is August
;to.
Congress supplemented the farm
legislation with an appropriation, of
abuiit Sl.oao.Onu.OOO for agricultural
purposes during tho f anil year be
ginning July 1. Of lids amount
$7110,0110,000 was authorized for
benefit payments to farmers com
