Crossbred Suffolks,. Cotswolds and

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

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." -

Conduct
Station Finds
Field Peas Help
InYieldofHay
To find out which grain would give
the greatest yield when cut for hay,
the Eastern Oregon experiment sta
tion at Union conducted a grain hay
experiment this season. 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.

Since the outside house-cleaning oc
curred, this Is a delightful : place,
secluded end shady where one may
retreat with a good book or a letter
that ought to be written, and tho
roughly enjoy It.
A much needed Improvement that
will be deeply appreciated when the
winter winds again roar around the
building, Is the revision of the heat

pleted. Mrs. Forrest Wells, accompanied by
her son, Billy, of Pendleton, is visit
