COUNTY AGENT
Steers can be finished at half the
cost per pound by tbe use of en
silage. This fact has been deter
mined at the Union Station In Un
ion county.
Every week after April 16th that
summer fallow In the Columbia Ba
sin la left unplowed, reduces the
yield of the following crop of wheat
an average of one bushe per acre for
each week of delay, Thla fact has
been determined beyond question by
the Sherman County Experiment
Station at Moro.
Does It pay to chop alfalfa bay
for steers In Eastern Oregon T
Does It pay to build shelter for
wintering lambs In Eastern Oregon.
Does It pay to barrow fall crops
of wheat In the spring?
Does It pay to grow greea crops
to plow under on the light Irrigated
soils of Eastern Oregon's Irrigated
diatrictaT
Definite conclusions on these
questions also have been reached on
the different branch experiment
stations In Eastern Oregon, , ,
The changing economic situation
In Eastern Oregon Is causing an un
precendented demand tor fundlmen
tal facts In connection with agricul
tural practice In this part of the
State.
In order that county agents of
Eastern Oregon may have first-hand
knowledge of these facts to pass on
to the many farmers asking Infor
mation of them, a few days In the
early part of the week of May 16th
have been set aside for the purpose
of visiting different stations.
Assembling at La Grande, Mon
day, May 16th, county agents ac
companied by Professors Potter and
Hyalop of the Oregon Agricultural
College, will visit the Union Station
where extensive feeding tests are be
ing carried on to determine the val
ue of different kinds of silage, the
alue of chopping hay and other
feeding practices and wintering me
thods. At Union many variety tests
of forage Crops are also In progress.
Results at Union are In general ap
plicable over more than halt the
area of Eastern Oregon.
At Hermlston methods of hand
ling irrigated soils will be studied.
At moro In Sherman county, aev
taln fundimental facta In connec
tion with wheat varieties and sum
mer tallow harrowing, methods that
are applicable In most parts of East
ern Oregon where wheat Is grown
according to dry land practices. Two
days will be passed In Sherman
county.

A CORRECnOX
Owing to a misunderstanding of
the notes left at this office of the
big I. O. O. F. meeting at Madras
on April 30th the item appeared to
convey the impression that Prine
ville lost its one point through the
placing of new material in the team
at the last moment when In reality,
the new material scored perfect, and
waa deserving of, and did receive,
great praise for the wonderful ach
ievement in such short time. We
are indeed sorry that this mistake
waa made, and take this means ot
correcting what would otherwise be
a great injustice.
