that every community farm bureau

Improvement projects for tho year.
Of course no ono knows that tho

Down In tho Adrian communll
Ihoy want to know for Hiiro. Count,
Agont Ilrolthaupt suggested that
hundred pounds of sulphur ought to
mako sufficient trials for this spring,
but Committeeman Purdy came back
with an order for 3000 pounds, In
reply to a mild protost ugalnst this
"oxtrnvnganco" I'urdy says I ox
plained It would cost them throo
cents u pound and that Is what thoy

Tho hundred dollars Is no Horn.
Now tell us, If you plooso, how to put

They got It.
Tho humhlu sunflower, plus tho
hIIo, plus tho Farm Ilureau, tiro revo
lutionizing fccdhiR processes In Will
lowo county, ono of tho foremost
livestock counties In tho State. Tho
best grazing land In Oregon Is found
In Wallowa county, thoro being over
a million acres of nyigct with tho
Inmost carrying capacity In any
Western district. This rnngo is ex
ceptionally frco of animal diseases,
carries yearly 05,000 Hhccp, 25,000
bcof cattle, and 2000 horses. Al
though tho Wallown vnlloy Is ono of
tho most productive Irrigated val
leys In tho Stato, jinvor experiencing
crop falluro becausa of a supply of
0.4 ucro feet available for practically
tho entire valley, there Is In most
years a shortage of winter feed In tho
county, largo numbors of stock being
shipped to Idaho. This season wan
no oxcoptlon nnd $700,000 worth of
hay was purchased In Idaho to bo
fed to Wallowa County livestock.
And hero Into tho agricultural proc
ttco of Wallowa County enters tho
sunflowor, silo nnd tho Kami llu
roau. .
Tho Kami Iluroati, organized more
than a year ago with a memborshlp
of over .100 county farmers, took up
tho task of determining upon an en
sllngo crop. Sunflowers, oats and
pons woro determined upon and
demonstrations of theso crops nr
ratiRCd. Tho sunflower proved tlio
most successful nnd n silo campalRti
was staRcd, resulting In tho erection
of 20 now silos, 14 of which woro
filled entirely with uunflowors.
Thcro was much speculation
among tho ranchers as to tho footling
rosults which would bo obtained.
Farmers down In Union County havo
found that two tons of corn onsllngo
would savo a ton of hay. Would or
would not tho sunflowors do equally
well? Under tho direction of tho
Furm Ilureau, County Agent Mac
lloko arranged to check with tho
man feodlng tho sunflower onsllngo.
Tho rosults woro satisfactory nnd tho
Farm Ilureau arranged n socond
hIIo campaign for tho wook of Febru
ary lCth. Meotlngs were held at
Josopli, Knterprlso, W'allown, Los
Una nnd Flora. In tlio first four
towns Commercial Clubs sarvod
bnnquots to an ut tendance of over
ono hundred farmers In evory In
Rtnnco. Professor K. J. FJelstetl of
tho Oregon Agricultural Collego, np
poored In tho program, at each meet
ing and discussed tho wintering of
livestock and tho vnluo of ciiHlluge In
tho feeding. Professor K. I.. Wost
ovor, of Oregon Agricultural Collego,
discussed types of sites adapted to
Wallowa County nnd held consulta
tion hours at tho Farm Ilureau of
flco at Knterprlso. County Agent
Mao lloko discussed tho plans of the
County Farm Ilureau and enlarged
upon tho campaign to plane ono
thousand hIIos upon ono thousand
farm's In Wnllown County.
Jay Dobbin, president of tho Farm
Ilureau, attended most of tho meet
ings and discussed various questions
rolntlnn to tho wintering of live
stock. Hugh Wilson, of Joseph, dis
cussed onsllngo In Its relations to tho
feeding of dairy cattle. Mr. Wilson
brought out tho fnct that ho had
been nblo to produce a pound of but
ter for forty cents by feeding ensil
age, Ills ration being :if pounds of
sllaRO and 12 pounds of liny a day,
whoreas, without ensilage, It cost
him 74 cents to produce a pound of
butter, tho ration under such condi
tions liolng 40 pounds of hay and
flvo or six pounds of grnln. Several
of tho farmers who fed onsllngo this
yoar for tho first time, npponred on
tho program and related their ex
periences, To Hugh Wilson goes the
distinction of building tho first silo
In Wallowa county In 1917. The
first season ho lost seven horses bo-
cnuso of feeding ensilage but stated
thnt oven so ho wan far ahead of the
gnmo nt the end of his first yenr.
Mr. Wilson was advised to build his
silo by County Agent Splllmnii of
Union County. Ho produced eleven
tons of pens nnd oats per ncro.
Carl Holland, of I.osllno, stated
thnt ho had saved SO tons of hay by
having bijvoii acres In sunflowers,
Ho fed COO shcop during tho past
year on an nvorogo, from tho same
ncronRO which only fed 300 Inst yenr,
tho dltforonco liolng duo entirely lo
ensilage nnd not to weather comll
tlons. Ho' figures tho feodlng cost
equal In both ensos.
I C. Pollnnd, of Wallowa, had
throo acres In sunflowers. Ho con
structed n silo 12 by 32 and showed
rocords to prove thnt his sllngo paid
for tho silo, ono-hnlf Interest In tho
sllngo cutter nnd tnnilo him $100 bo-
P 111 OB.
Tho results of feodlng onsllngo In
tho county so far this season, show
ed thnt nt n conservative estimate,
two tons of tho sunflower ensilage,
or ontH unit pen cnsllnRC, had saved a
ton of liny, and thnt the Having thin
yoar effectedby tho 30 silos with nil
nvorago capacity of ono hundred tons
was fifteen tons of hay vnlued at
$30,000. Knowledge of these farts,
diffused by means of tho silo schools,
has caused the farmers to adopt the
Farm Ilureau slogan of "ono thous
and silos on one thousand farm.i In
Wallowa County."

In discussing the cultivation of al-'
falfa, Allan Johnson, of Wcstfall,
says:
"I havo a field 20 years old that la
as clean of weeds and foul stuff as
oily new field, except a little blue
grass. Tho sheepmen llko my hay
because they say tho owes rIvo more
mflk on it. I get n bigger ylold, too,
in fact I flguro that I mako $40 a day
for tho time It tokos to do the culti
vating, Tho foul stuff takes ns
much room ns alfalfa and lias no
vnluo In tho stack nnd docs not ylold
llko alfalfa."
In speaking of methods of culti
vating alfalfa, ho said:
"I begin cultivating when tlio al
falfa Is two years old, using a spring
tooth harrow. Tho next year I tonr
It up right with - a genulno alfalfa
cultivator (I don't mean ono of theso
spike tooth disc concerns that thoy
cnll renovators) then follow up with
a spring tooth, crossing preferred,
and then levol It down with a heavy
splko harrow. Do this every yoar
and you will havo tho foul stuff
cleaned out, your land levoled up
good, and ,tbo soil opened up so tho
air und water can get into it. And
tho extra ylold pays big wages, ndt to
