That the annual agricultural
pr.nJuctions of this state could be
increased $10,000,000 in five
years without adding one square
rod to the farm acreage, was the
contention of Dr. James Withy
combe, director of experiment
stations at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, in a recent address
on the value of demonstration
farms. He advocated that es
tablishment of a demonstration
farm in each county under com
petent supervision, the superin
tendent to act as advisor to the
farmers of his district, and to as
sist in the formation of rural or
ganization for the improvement
of educational, social and finan-
j cial conditions.
In many foreign countries
the value of demonstration farms
and RnAfinl jnrrinlf-iiral cHura.
. . r.
uonai worK is strongly in evi
dence, "said Dr. Withycombe.
"The little country of Denmark j
has made phenomenal agricul
tural progress under the system
of demonstration. With an area
equal to but one-sixth of Oregon
Denmark supports 2,690,500 peo
ple and exports annually over
$100,000,000 worth of butter,
eggs and bacon. Thi3 is accom
plished under adverse agricul
tural conditions, much of the
country being so bleak that it is
necessary to blanket the cows in
pasture to keep them comfort
able in summer.
"If such results can be secured
under such unfavorable condi
tions, what results might we not
justly expect from a similar sys
tem here in Oregon where condi
tions for dairying and general
farming are so favorable?
"Teach your pupils at school
to try to inculcate the doctrine at
home that dirt means filth, and
filth means abnormal kinds of
germs," said Prof. T. D. Beck
with, head of the bacteriology
department at the Oregon Agri
cultural College, in an address
cause the souring of milk were
shown, 15,000 of which placed in
a line make just an inch.
"Germs are alive. It is safe
to say the ordinary human being
voids thirty-three-million-million
germs a day, most of them by
way of the faces," said Prof,
ueckwith. fcince a cow is so
much larger, how much greater
a number of germs it throws off
each day.
"What do you think of the
farmer who keeps his cow in a
dark, muddy, wet stable drip
ping with manure, or in summer
in the dry season allows her to
accumulate an armor of manure?
Every bit of that filth is full of
germs which, if they get into the
milk, produce abnormal changes,
some of them breeding disease.
"The farmer sits down under
such a cow, without cleaning it,
and milks into a wide-mouthed
pail into which at every motion
and every breath of air, there
drop particles containing germs.
Each germ makes two every
twenty minutes, that is, they
multiply to eight times their
number every hour at ordinary
temperature. You can see what
it means to allow the milk to
cool slowly instead of cooling it
artificially at once.
"If children drink milk from
untested cows which have bo
vine tuberculosis, the germs do
not pass out, but remain in the
Doay, ana Dy slow change in
twenty or twenty-five years be
come human tuberculosis. All
dairy animals should be tested so
that we may know that there is
no tuberculosis. Your teachers
can do a great deal by teaching
your pupils the importance of
these thing."
