NEW NITRATE TEST
HAS BEENDISCOVERED
Tacom'a Chemist Tells of Easy and
Practical Test for Nitrate
and Phosphate
A new method for testing rocks
containing nitrato has been developed
by B. H. Bennett of Tncoma who was
a visitor to the Vale nitrate fields
last week. The new test to dissolve
the rock in a small amount of water.
Add a concentrated solution of soda
lye and a small pieco. of aluminium
and boil. If any nitrates are present
ammonia' will be given off. The
amount of ammonia will indicate the
quality of nitrates present.
To test for phosphate, place a little
of the rock on a white plate. Then
Dlace a crystal of molvbdate of am-
monlalongside. Moisten both withj
a dilute solution of nitric acid. If
any phosphoric acid present a yellow
color will show on the white crystal
of ammonia molybate.

Malheur County
Her Grain Acreage, Says Howard
Crop Survey Shows That The Grain
Acreage in Malheur County
Will, be Doubled
Malheur County farmers aro going
to do their bit toward "licking tho
Kaiser" this year. Grain usually a
side issue with tho irrigation farmer
is to bo mode one of the main crops
this year and it is well for tho wheat
grown in Malheur County is of the
best milling quality.
The Farm Labor and Seed Survey
carried on during tho last month by
W. W. Howard county agent, showed
that approximately 12,000 acres of
wheat were grown in this county last
season and that the contemplated
acreage for 1918 was 18,000 acres.
This would be a big increase, but since
the President set a Portland price of
$2.20 per bushel, many farmers have
signified their intention to increase
their acreage more than th:y , had
contemplated doing earlier, and this
price setting has taken place since the
survey.
This big increase will mean that
there Will bo raised in Malheur
County during 1918, more than 600.-
000 bushels of wheat. This is .using
thirty bushels as an averago acre
yield, and it is hoped that tho further
increase in acreage over the 18,000
first contemplated and by increasing
tho yield over thirty bushels per acre
to bring the total yield to three-

Junior Red Cross Growing
Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries are
being organized in practically all of
tho schools. Both the Ontario and
Vale Chapter School Committees re
port splendid enthusiasm on the part
of all concerned. 6 auxiliaries have
been organized under the jurisdiction
of tho Ontario Chapter and 20 under
the Vale Chapter, Actual work will
be given the children just as soon as
it can be planned. In a few cases,
children have already been allotted
their work and some of the complet
ed work has been received at the
Chapter work rooms.

quarters of a million bushels. It can
be dono and so let us do it.
The survey shows that tho barley
acreage is to be doubled. This is all
right in its place but tho present
high prices of barley are very apt to
bo changed by next harvest. It would
bo doing a greater service to the
country to grow wheat, instead of
following tho crowd. It is hoped
that many will change their minds
and sow wheat where they now in
tend to sow barley. Wheat is the
great bread product of the world. The
acreage of rye sown is .also to be
greatly increased, and thus another
of the bread grains will' be increased
by Malheur county.
Tho labor situation during haying
is apt to bo difficult but not serious
providing proper precautions aro
taken. This last would require that
many acres of tho old weedy meadows
bo plowed up and. bo sown to wheat.
An acre of wheat requires much loss
labor to harvest that does ono acre
of alfalfa, and will give as big if not
a much greater return per acre. This
will also even things up u bit for if
the usual acreage of hay is cut with
the big surplus that is certain to be
left over, a glutted hay market will
result. A much reduced hay acre
age will still leave plenty of hay for
the stockman, and so work no hard
ship. Help solve the labor problem, help
"lick the Kaiser." Grow moro whoat.
