At this sale, - which is sponsored by the Oregon Wool Growers asso ciation, the buyer will find a collec tion of that kind of breeding that will take him forward In the busi ness of producing better market lambs and heavier shearing sheep, the National Wool Grower for Au gust says. To Sell 600 Rams The sale will include approximate ly 600 head of Ramboullleta, Romel- dales, Hampshlres, purebred and Crossbred Suffolks,. Cotswolds and Llncolns. At no other point In Ore gon or Washington Is such a sale conducted and from the economy standpoint the buyer Is able to get hla needs at this sale without use less expenditure of time and money spent running around the country. He is assured that what he buys at the Oregon sale will be as It Is rep resented. '. Ramboulllets wlll.be consigned by the following breeders: Cunningham 8heep company, PendJoton; J. M. Moran, Starbucks . John v.. Withers, Paisley; Theodore B. Wilcox, Port land; and E. O. Burllngame, Walla Walla, Hampshire offerings will come from J. D. Dobbin and H. G. Avery, of La Grande; H. H.

Pure bred and crossbred Suffolks will come from the breeding establishment of Dave' M. Waddell and Alex Crulk- shank, McMlnnvllle, with the Crulk- shank farm also supplying Cotswolds. Pave Waddell will be on hand with an offering of his good Llncolns and arrangements - are about completed for other consignments of this breed. James Rlddell and Ed Rlddell, of Monmouth, wilt- consign Lincoln and Cotswold rams. The auctioneer will be Earl O. Walter, of Filer, Idaho. No Ram Lambs ' (These rams will be In their pens at the sale grounds for Inspection on the day before the sale. They will be offered In lota to suit the purchasers and In numbers ranging from one . head upward. No ram lambs will be offered' and practically the entire consignment will consist of - yearlings ready to be taken to the breeding flocks immediately after the sale.. ' There are several reasons for the sheepman to feel that his business has the ear-marks of rather Imme- dlate Improvement. He already knows that the lamb crop In the rango Btates is around two and a halt mil lions below that of last year and that .60 to 65 per cent ot the ewes In Ore gon are five years old br older. He knows, too, that every pound of weight he can put on his lambs with in reasonable limits and at reason able costs will help to keep the i wheels turning around. He should know that the sire Is more than 75 per cent of the flock In that he stamps his goodness or badness upon every lamb which he sires. Then there Is that extra weight of fleeco which also goes to help pay feed bills and It seems that these are hardly the times to utilize the kind of bucks that will reduce the output of wool throughout the entire life of every ewe that is kept for breeding pur poses. In a rocent Interview with Pro fessor E. L. Potter, head of the de partment of animal husbandry, Ore- gon Stato Agricultural college, this well known livestock authority said: "You ask why should a Bheepman buy good buoks under present con ditions? The anBwer Is that It Is the best move to make from tho financial standpoint. It Is true that the difference between good lambs and poor lambs per hundred pounds on the market Is less today than It was three years ago but If we deduct the freight and figure the difference on a percentage basis we will find tho difference 60 be greater and not less than It was three years ago. Fin ally, the price of bucks has decreased more than has the price of lambs so that the use of good bucks Is even more of a necessity than It was In previous years." - Hi -Way t Health AyADiRMAVN E 6i00N RAiRY C0UMCIL ICE CREAM A HEAL FOOD It Is to Dolly Madison, charming wife of tho fourth president of she United States, that credit Is given for introducing and popularizing Ice cream In this country.

The oats yield ed more tonnage when cut for hay than either spring wheat or beardless barley. When field peas are seeded with the grain, both the tonnage or hay and the quality ot the hay are Increased. Three different varieties of wheat- Marquis, Pacific Bluestem, Oregon 16, three of oats Victory, MBrkton, Swedish Select, and two of beardless barley Union Beardless, Meloy were seeded on similar plots of ground. In addition to the grains listed above, mixtures of wheat and oats, wheat and barley, and barley and oats, and peas mixed with both oats and barley were also seeded. The different varieties of grain and the mixtures of grain were seeded on the same date April 38, and cut for hay Just 80 days after seeded. . The average yield of the oats cut for hay was 3.0 tons per acre. Tho Victory oata yielded 3.04 tons; the Markton oats 3.03 tons: and the Swedish Select oats 3.9 tons pel acre. It la Interesting to know that the Victory oats gave the greatest yield of hay and they also give the great est yield when cut for grain at this station. The average yield of wheat was 3.8 tons per acre. The Pacific Bluestem gave the largest yield or .u ions Oregon 18, a promising new variety, 3.8 tons; and tho Marquis 3.7 tons per aero. Tho beardloss barleys gavo slightly less yield than olther wheat or oats, but some difference In yield Is made up In the quality of tho hay, for the beardless barley has a soft straw that makes It very palatable and relished by all classes of -livestock. The aver age yield ot beardless barley was 3.4 tons per acre. The Union Beardless barley yielded 3.6 tons; and the Meloy barley yielded 3.3 tons per acre. i Mixture of grains like wheat and barley, and wheat and oats did not gtvo a greater yield when cut for hay than when the grains were seeded alono. Howovor, tho mixtures with the oats in them gave the greatest tonnage. When field peas woro seeded with grain, the yield was almost double. The White Canadian field peas wore .used In thla trial, for they are very hardy and yield a largo tonnago of good quality hay. The yield of Wh'lto Canadian field peaa mixed with Mark- ton oats was 4.3 tons per acre, ana the yield of White Canadian Held peas and Union Beardless barley was 4.0 tons per acre.
