SLAP AT FARM INTEREST
SEEN IN PROPOSED LAWS
O. S. A. C., Corvallis. May 2—A
direct slap at northwest grain grow
ers in particular and farming inter
ests in general is seen by G. R. Hy
slop, chief in farm crops, in four bills
or amendments now before congress.
Professor Hyslop has sent protests
to the Oregon delegation and other
wise "spread the alarm." Replies
from Senators C. L. McNary and
Fredrick Stiwer pledge their opposi
tion to the proposals but more pro
tests are needed. Hyslop believes.
Northwest grain growers are hit
in two bills sponsored by Minnesota
interests which would abolish fed
eral grain grades and then place all
grain inspection in the hands of fed
eral grain grades and then placeP
would demoralize marketing prac
tices and make inflexible the entire
system. Hyslop believes. An amend
ment to the agricultural bill and a
companion measure proposed by Sen
ator Heflin would stop the govern
ment from supplying crop statistics
and price information to the farm
er. small dealer and terminal eleva
tors and leaves these at the mercy of
the large operators who maintain
their own forecasting services.

County Agent’s Doings
Briefly Related
trolled by poisoning, says A. I. Thom
as, alfalfa grower and merchant of
JYamhill. Three or four years ago
Mr Thomas says his thirty-two acre
field of alfalfa had a gopher on every
square rod.
Through continuous
poisoning he has been able to prac
tically eradicate them. This spring
in going over this thirty-two acre
’laid of alfalfa he found only two
,.ophers which had come In from ad
joining land«. Other farmers report
similar success with the method,
pays County Agent White. Complete
directions for gopher poisoning to
gether with strychnine can be obtain
ed at the county agent’s office.
While the usual bate consists of
green clover tips sprinkled with al
kaloid strychnine at the rate of one
ounce to ten pounds of clover tips.
Mr. Thomas says that in bis alfalfa
'ield the alfalfa tips give as good or
better results than clover tips. This
is not usually the case, however,
except where gophers are accustomed
to feeding on alfalfa.
Best Fertilizer Found
Sulphate of amonla proved to be
the best commercial fertilizer to In
crease cover crop growth in orchards
a« shown by a demonstration on the
George Zimmerman prune orchard,
near Yamhill, reports County Agent
White.
In this demonstration one tenth
acre plots were fertilized with sul
phate of amonla. nitrate of soda and
a complete organic fertilizer con
taining eight per cent nitrogen, sev
en percent phosphate, and eight per
cent potash, and a combination con-
slMting of nitrate of soda and super
phosphate.
Yields were carefully
measured on each plot which showed
that sulphate of amonla increased
the yield over no fertilizer 375 per
cent and produced six and one fifth
tons of green cover crop to the acre

Who Said
“Main Street?”................
We are using the caption "Main
Street” this week on our local col
umn as the result of a suggestion
by one of the "Main Street" note
worthies. “Main Street" is where
all gossip starts and also lots of
arguments.
More political elec
tions, national problems and dom
estic affairs are threshed out on
small town main streets than on
fifth avenues. On the other hand
it is no detriment. Al Smith
would be glad to have the backing
of every "Main Street.” Some turn
of fate seems to guide a goodly
portion of personages up "Main
Street" right Into the White
House.
