Baker Co. Agent
Gets' Dairy Job;
Extension Staff
Roger Morse, who has been county
agricultural agent nt Baker for sev
eral years past has been made dairy
specialist for the extension service
or the State college to succeed the
late N. C. Jamison. Mr- Morse is
quite widely known in this county
and has many friends who believe
that he is well qualified for the posi
tion to which he has been appointed.
h hns been exceptionally active
along the line of the dairy Industry
and has been considered an author
ity. Tho announcement made
through the COrvallis daily reads as
follows :'
Paul V. Maris, director of the ex
tension service, and Professor P. M.
Brandt, head of the dairy department
at the state college, have announced
the appointment of Roger W. Morse.
Hoi the past three years county agent
in Baker county, to the position of
dairy specialise for the extension
service to succeed the late N. C.
Jamison.
This . appointment has been ap
proved by the state board of higher
education. Jamison, who for sev
tral years had been in this position,
died a rew months ago from an In
fection In his arm. He was a grad
uate of the state college.
The work done in Baker county
among the dairymen by Morse while
in the office of county agent Is
stressed by Professor Brandt as being
some of the best work accomplished
in the state. The records show that
Hi per cent of the cows in Baker
county are ; in dairy Improvement
herd associations.
The extension officials' say that
the; effect of this policy is reflected
to some extent in the fact that the
average number of cows in the herds
supplying the Baker Cooperative as
sociation is . 19 cows io the herd.
Bovine tuberculosis and contagious
abortion are well controlled.
Morse is a graduate of Washington
State college. He specialized in both
animal husbandry and dairy hus
bandry while at that institution. He
has operated a cow teBttng associa
tion in the Pugt-t Sound region and
la therefore familiar with the dairy
conditions both east and west of the
mountains.
Professor Brandt's recommenda
tion that the position left vacant by
Jamison's death be filled by transfer
within the extension service, follow
ed a complete and thorough canvass
of. available men in other states.
In commenting upon the appoint
ment of Morse to the position of
dairy 1 specialist, Mr. Maris said.
" Morse will undertake his duties
lth a thorough knowledge of con
ditions in the state and enjoying
the confidence and esteem of hla co
workers In the extension service."
Morse was for four years county
a,'nt in Morrow county and prior
to that time served in a similar ca
pacity in Wyoming. He served in the
world war. holding the rank of cap
tain In the Infantry at its ending.
He is married and has two children.
He will assume his new duties as
n as his successor con be named

suitable "creep" with openings large
enough to allow the lambs to pass
through and yet small enough to
prevent the ewes from going through.
This is somttmes difficult to do for
a space large enough to let a good
big husky lamb with a coat of
wool through is usually large enough
to let a shorn ewe through also.
One of the most satisfactory ways
that has been tried thus far at the
Experiment station Is to run the
entire flock through the dodge gate
and separate the ewes and lambs in
different lots where they may be fed
accordingly. This is not a difficult
tusk to do and If the lambs are sep
arated each evening ana left in the
feed yards all night they can be
given a- grain ration night. and-morn-:
ing and then turned back and allow
ed to graze with their mothers dur
ing the day.
"Oats make a splendid feed for
lambs. They are usually fed In
troughs at tho rate of about one
eighth of a pound per head per
day to start with and then gradually
Increased until each lamb is eating
from three-fourths to a poundwhich
Is divided Into two feeds per day.
"Alter the lambs are well started
on oats, which by the way need not
bL ground, barley may gradually be
substituted for them if desired.
. . "Lambs grown In this way put on
an excellent finish and are usually
'Market Toppers." "

Whilo the Oregon Sale Is but four
years old, It has all the earmarks of:
becoming one of the big ram selling '
i vpiiU in the northwest sheep coun-,
try. It Is a fact that wool growers
can welt afford to go considerable
distances to get their breeding stock
nt an auction of this kind for the
reason that there Is an assembly of '
nil tho better known breeds offered
by breeders with reputations at stake.
This Is especially true at the present
tlmo when sheep values are down
and when there Is a good possibility
that, high class rams will be sold at
very reasonable prices. It provides
nn opportunity for wool growers to

The sale will also Include offerings

HOW THE IMNAHA
HAPPENED TO GET
PERMANENT NAME
A SEASONABLE
RECIPE
There Is a wealth of Indian legend
attached to Eastern Oregon and es
pecially this section-of it. There
arc fascinating stories, recorded and
unrecorded. In last week's Record
Chieftain, there was given a story of
the Imnaha country how it chanced
to get Its name. We pass It on in
full to readers of this page.
My CtM-lle stublileflclil iYmsnn
(This story came through tho writ
er's father, M. Stubblcfleld, an early
Oregon pioneer of Wallowa and Im
naha Valleys, as told by his beloved
friend. Capt. A. C. Smith, Indian
Scout, and advisor and friend of
Chief Joseph, nt the time of the Nok
Perce War. Theso valleys were the
home of the writer for many years.)
In the most northeasterly corner
of Oregon Is situated the Imnaha

It Is' a haven for cattle and sheep

So it was in the days of tin early
Nez Perce chief, perhaps Old Joseph,
leader of the Ne, Perce Indians, ie
fore the white man came to take
his fruitful lands. From the bcauti
ful summer home In the Wallowa
valley nnd near limpid lake Wal

his band every winter to the lower

as the Nex Perce called It.

for the Nex Perce to move their

At the time of the coming of Lew
