STATE FAIR TO BE RUN
WITHOUT OPERATING LOSS
IS REPORT TO GOVERNOR
A comjnittce of the state board of
agriculture submitted to Governor
cects that the fair shall be held ail-
! nun 11 y. and a storm of protest arose
ever the rumored possibility of the
discontinuance of the fair.
Although the unanimous decision
to hold the fair was reached at the
meeting tof the board Saturday.' It
was not made public until after a
conference between members of the
board and Governor Meier this morn
ing. At the regular meeting of the
board, a decision wus reached:
1. To hold n bigger and better fair
without creating an 'operating deficit.
To this Cnd to eliminate nil fea
tures that have Tjeen losing money,
and addintt new features that are
Inonulnr el3cwhere. The bnerntintt
ibudeet ftdootca Saturday Is less than
and norse show. Yet this budget in
cludes what Is probably the largest
Item for free attractions the fair
has ever had. The board feels the
public is entitled to something for
the SO-cent admission and a study
of other fairs indicates Increased at
tendance resulting from;, giving the
public more for their money. None
of the economies effected will cur
tail exhibits or injure the fair it-
fieli', but they will actually mfike the
fair better and bigger.
2. Program callB for elimination of
tree passes; reduce number df em
ployes; reduce pay df employes; ask
employes and all others to cooperate
to see how much they can pub Into
the fair and not how much they
can take out of it. Salcmj has of-
fdred free police nnd fire protection;

Tests of various fresh greens as a

little difference In values. Therefore,
tho green feed, which can be secured
most economically at any particular
time or place should be used. The
Ideal way to 1cea Is by 'mcaii3 of a
clean range. Green growing oats,
barley, or wheat make excellent range
while they are Btlll young and tender.

show, but there will be exhibits of
breeding and draft horses,

fairs are eliminating them as a los

be possible to bring to Oregon under
ordinary conditions. The nature of
these cannot be announced until
contracts :hate been signed.
Excuses that the fair is "Just the
same thing over again" will not be
available this year. New features
should add to the attendance. Other
outstanding fairs have built up a
lorger attendance by going ln for
outstanding new Attractions each

Itnuges j
The gross oh Oregon ranges Is good
after a slow start. The warm weath
er nnd nn abundance of moisture
makes very good summer feed pros
pects, with snow In the mountains
Insuring Irrigation water.
Western range feed Is generally
good, showing a marked Improvement
during May. Ranges nre generally
much better than a year ngo, except
ln the Great Plains sections of south-
western Nebraska, western Kansas,
eastern Colorado, parts of Oklahoma
and tho Panhandle of Texas, Where
It Is dry. Mountain ranges promise
to be very good. Montana, Wyoming,
the wen turn Dakotas and and hills
of Nebraska have good fecd 'pros-,
pects and recent rains supplied mois
ture ln cob tern Mjontana and west
North Dakota. Lack of moisture lias
reduced fecd prospects in southwest
ern Nebraska, western Kansas, east
ern Colorado and the Panhandle sec
tions of Texas and Oklahomn. New
Mexico and the mountain and west
ern sections of Colorado have good
feed but cool weather has delayed
growth In places. The outlook for
summer feed Is very good ln Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Ne
vada. There Is a good supply of mois
ture ln these slates ond mountain
ranges promise to be very good. Cali

enteen western states, Montana leads

next with 00 per cent. Cattle are
rapidly overcoming the effects of the
hard winter and made unusually good '
gains the paut month, Improvement I
In condition was only fair where feed '
was late In starting. Cattle are not j
generally In as good flesh as usual
due to the hard winter. Spring losses
have not been heavy. The coif
crop will be a little short except
lu Texas. Cows came through the
winter In thin condition and there
has been considerable loss of early

loss of cows,
Sheep
Oregon sheep made good gains In

Winter Meat
: While much has . been said and
written. -about growing next winter's
food In this summer's garden, an
equally attractive opportunity exists
this year for getting next winter's
meat supply at the most reasonable
price In docades, says H. A. Undgren,
livestock specialist of the state col
lege extension sorvlce. (
Hogs are cheap and so Is grain,
says Llndgren. A weoner pig ted from
,now tlll aU on such feeds as are
available on the farm can bo innde
Into 126 to 150 pounds of meat for
next winter's use. It can bo cured as
hams and bacon, made Into sausage,
dry salted, or canned, i
Pigs can be fattened on pasture
with a little grain. Table scraps also
make good hog feed. Under conditions
such as we are now experiencing one
can 'oven raise a hog ln a small pen,
supplying It with green grass, table
scraps, and a few pounds of grain
dally.
' Grow is plentiful at this time. Why
not fatten a calf, cow, or stcor On
grass and corn, and can the product
for next winter's use? Beef put up In
that form Is excellent and will fit In
well with the garden product now
being raised by many families ln our
state, (
Mutton and lamb can be cured and
smoked ln much the same way that
wo preparo hams and bacon. Tho pro
duct Is delicious and will add a
variety which will be greatly appre
ciated. Federal bulletins on methods of
