All this talk about taxes and
more taxes as a cure for the
inflation we already have and a
preventive for what we expect
to have givea us to wonder. And
that's about all we can do; won
der and protest.
Goodness knows, taxes are
higher now than they ever have
been. Yet nobody could possibly
ssy we don't hsve Inflation.
Truthfully that is. And ton

trying to figure who to hook for
bit more booty.
And everybody aavs; "Who?

on beer brings a gurgle of pro

extra buck per fifth on
schnapps and we all hit for the
water wagon.
Piling more on top of what we
already have in our enthutasm
for bigger and heller taxea re
minds us of a story told by one
of our good customers. In read
ing thia story, we insist that no
comparisons nor inferences be
drawn. With that in all our
minds, here is the story.
In sawing his winter's wood
aupply a poultiyman noted that
the sawdust resembled his egg
mash in appearance and tex
ture, so thought of a bright Idea
for economizing. He began mix
ing sawdust wilh the egg mash,
gradually increasing the propor
tions until eventually he was
feeding 100 percent sawdust.
Everything seemed to be go
ing line until one morning he
heard a terrific din in the lay
ing house. Hushing out to inves
tigate, he found to his amaze-

Manager Walter Holt aaid. The
show is followed by a aale but few
sheepmen this spring plan to dis
pose of their ewes. Crossbred rams
are expected, however, as p r i I e
moneys are good and bidding al
ways brings more than actual
market price.
Marion county's fat lamb (how,
one of the most popular of the val
ley lamb shows, has been set for
June 1 at Turner. Only the top fat
market lamb is auctioned.
The state doe trials are run in
connection with the show. The dog
trials in recent years have drawn
hundreds of people in addition to
those attending the show.
FinsI show of the group will be
the Clackamas county spring lamb
show at Canby on June f. A large
number of future farmers and 4-H
clubbers participate in this event.

Tests proved further that

mashes ranging from coarse to
fine; thst feeding red wheat
brought equal consumption and
performance with while wheal;
that pclleta resulted in more
mash consumption and greater
body weight, but not greater
egg production."
These findings clash with
commonly accepted views, but
serve to corroborate the advice
passed out by ya editor for
years past, viz: "when yon get
ready lo change from starter
mash to developing mash, or
to laying mash, Just go ahead
and change. Don't fiddle 'round
for weeks wasting vour time

Time Saved By Sprinklers
In Applying Nitrogen Shots
Save time and see results of your
fertiliser application sooner by ap
plying nitrogen to crops through
your sprinkler irrigation system,
suggests Mel Hagood. Oregon State
college extension irrigation special
ist.
Much value in commercial ferti
lizers, he adda, is dependent on the
amount of moisture available in
the soil because the plant food must
be in solution to be used by a crop.
Use of the sprinkler system also
makes It possible to apply several
light fertiliser applicatione during
the season at times when it would
be difficult to do the task using a
ground applicator.
To be used, Hagood aays ferti
lizer msterials must go into solu
tion readily. Thus, nitrogen cam
era, with the exception of 16-20 and
11-48 Amo-Phos, are the only ma
terials which can be used success
fully.
There are two types of nitrogen
carriers ammonia and nitrate
forms and the irrigation special
ist says a good deal of dollar value
will be lost unlese each is applied
correctly.

long enough ahead of stopping to
wash the fertilizer material which
is corrosive out of the system.
Don't stop too soon or the fertilizer
can be leached past the main
feeder roots, the specialist adds.
Ammonia form nitrogen fertiliz
ers should be applied at the begin
ning of the irrigation since this
type of nitrogen ties itself to the
soil and the second it touches and
continued falling water helps drive
the nitrogen to the root zone.
Ammonia type fertilizers include
ammonium sulfate and Nu Green,
while nitrate types include calcium
nitrate, nitrate of soda and am
monium nitrate. Cynamid should
not be used in sprinkler systems
due to its caustic effect on both
plants and irrigation systems.
Most farmers apply plant food
through their irrigation systems by

For the 1950 crop year. Netted
Gem potatoes were the most pop
ular certified variety bv a wide
margin with 2.314 acre's passed.
Clyde Ward, Baker, had the larg

acres, and was the state's leading
certified seed potato grower with

In second and third place among
IS vanetiea certified were White

acres.
Of the slate's 210 certified seed
potato growers, Klamath was the
leading grower county with 64. Cer

in 13 counties.
Johnson said the Netted Gem
acreage is growing at the expense
of other varieties, principally
