SALTBUSH IS NOT
ALL NOXIOUS WEED
Redmond News.
Deleterious faltbushes as well a
thUtles and other noxious weed
are occupying a great deal of at
tention right now on the part ol
county and state official?, acting in
the interest of the farmers of in
terior Oregon. In this connection
it may be said at the start that all
saltbushcs are not weeds. There
are some varieties that make ex
cellent forage food. This fact is
not generally known in Oregon,
principally because the only salt
biish known to agriculturists of
this state is one of the undesirable
kind?, unfit for provender, and a
weed of stubborn growth which
spreads with amazing rapidity.
Saltbushos had their origin and
thrive in arid countries. The sil
ver saltbush which is such a farm
pest here is said to have been
brought into the county upon the
representations made by an eastern
seed firm. It was highly recom
mended as a forage riant. The
stuff proved to be worthless and
became so abundant that there is
a state law classing it with the
thistle and cocklebur as inimical
to agriculture and providing pen
alties when it is not removed and
destroyed.
Knowing that Australia was the
weaning ground of the saltbusb,
H. J. Newsom of Prine villa about a
year ago wrote to the New South
Wales Department of Mines and
Agriculture at Sydney asking for
information about, at the same
describing, the silver saltbush
against which the roadmaster of
Crook county is waging war.
Walter S. Campbell, the director
of Australian agriculture for the
British commonwealth, answered
Mr. Xewsom's letter very courte
ously and also sent him the seeds
of three valuable varieties, which
l:e still has. Director Campbell's
letter, in part, is as follows:
I have the honor to inform you
that the plant mentioned by you Is
probably one of the v inferior salt
bushes of this country (Australia),
of which there are about 90 varieties,
many of which are excellent fodder
plants. Many varieties have been
Introduced into America and seed is
obtainable there. Two ounces each
of the following varieties of saltbush
have been forwarded to you under
separate cover; viz., antriplex luuiu
ruularia, antriplex seuiilmecata and
antriplex balernoides.
The Australian department also
sent Mr. Newsom a pamphlet
(Miscellaneous Publication 717);
telling all about saltbushes, their
conservation and cultivation, with
pictures of the more important
varieties. It forms an invaluable
pamplet for farmers in arid regions.
C. H. Erickson obtained some of
the seed sent to Mr. Newsom arid
planted it on his place in Crook
county. It is flourishing well and
Mr. Erickson reports that his cat
tle make for it every chance they
get, preferring it to anything else.
Caution must be used, however, as
too much saltbush acts as a physic,
to a stronger degree, it is said, than
fresh alfalfa. With this light on
the subject, the three varieties rec
ommended by the Australian gov
ernment are worth trying here.

time but when he regained con
sciounefs called loudly for help
His cries were heard at the heue
and help arrived about an hour
after the accident. Dr. Rosenberg
was called and after a ride o! 75

young will be able to get out of

Needs Mail Service.
E. A. Parker, who visited this
city Tuesday from his home in
Bear creek valley, voiced the senti
ment of ranchers living along the
125-mile stretch of road between
Prineville and Buck creek when he
stated the simple truth that the
postal authorities at Washington
are saaiy neglecting the mans in
this wide and productive though
remote part of Crook county. The
government maintains a postoffice
at Crook, 50 miles southeast of
Prineville, but furnishes no mai
service to the 75 families resident
in the district. The ranchers take
turns hauling the mail once each
week from Prineville out to Crook
Prior to seven years ago the gov'
ernment furnished a semi-weekly
mail service to Crook postoffice
but now the federal authorities are
unwilling to pay more than wa?
paid in the year 1900, when the
mail was carried only 60 miles to
Milliorn's ranch, whereas now
goes to the Barnes place 50 miles
away. Several petitions have been
sent to the department at Wash
ington, D. C , but without avail.
