THE BANNER-COURIER, OREGON CiTY, OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9 1922. Page Six AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK NEWS Up-to-date Information to Help Develop Progressive Farming ii - DEVELOPMENT PLAN NEED OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Oregon should unite on a program of agricuutlral development says Paul V. Maris director of the state college extension service. Important fea tures were listed as follows: 1. Adoption of sound land settle ment policy; 2, reclamation of arid, wet and stump lands; 3, balancing pro duction with utilization and market possibilities; 4, constant improvement in production and husbandry metn ods; 5, bulking commodities for ef fective marketing. "In less than a century we have de veloped an eight hundred million agri cultural industry, yet our improved farm area is less in extent than Lake county," says Mr. Maris. "To compete with other states we must provide the ex-service man and settler with land at fair prices, finance him on. a basis of easy payments over a lnne neriod of time, and deal with th Droblem on a community as dis tinguished from an individual basis." The reclamation policy compieiea would double the agricultural produc tion. since it applies to 2 1-2 million acres needing drainage, same area by irrigation and nearly 1 , million by stump clearing. Profits were increas ed $8.32 per acre a year over a period of 7 years on the college station farms by rotation. With manure these aa ded profits were lifted to $9.71 and with irrigation added to rotation and manure the profits averaged $23.02 greater than on the check plots. Assembling commodities for grad ing and standardization is said to be essential to distant marketing. Cooper ative associations are a move in the right direction and entitled to sup port. "Financing and transportation are the farmers'- paramount problems," said Mr. Maris. "They are nation al in scope and we should join in the national effort for their early adop tion." FARM REMINDERS Potato Treatment. Directions for applying the corro sive sublimate treatment to seed po tatoes may be had free by writing to the O. A. C. Experiment Station. All potatoes should be given this treat ment before cutting. After cutting they should be shoveled over with land plaster 'previous to planting. Leaf Curl. Spraying for peach leaf curl should not be delayed longer as applications after the middle of February some times fail. One thorough application of Bordeaux 6-6-50 put on while the buds are entirely dormant will rid the trees of this disease. O. A. C. Ex periment statioa.- Lambs. Young lambs that are to be sold for meat should be docked and canstrat ed while still young. Neglect of this important practice will often result in a reduction in price amounting to 25 cents to a dollar a hundred. O. A. C. Experiment station. Tree Powders Fakes. No tree powders or other chemical substances intended to be introduced into the bark or wood of fruit trees have ever been found of any practical value, and many are actually injuri ous. Thousands of dollars of hard earned cash are wasted annually, or even worse than wasted on such no strums for which all sort of powers against diseases and insect pests are claimed. O. A. C. Experiment Sta tion. State Lime Plant. When the state lime plant was first established at Gold Hill, the Southern Pacific Railroad company granted a special rate for agricultural lime in carload lots which was said to be the lowest commodity rate ever granted by that company. This rate, it seem S. F.

H. COOPER & SON ' Bank of Oregon City Bldg., Phone 366 ed to the members of the board was very reasonable. During the war, however, this rate with all others in creased 25 per cent and the original rate has not as yt-t been restored, I believe. If sufficient orders are re ceived to justify any action whatever the board will attempt to have the or iginal rate restored." Practically all of the soils of west ern Oregon are acid and need applica tions of agricultural lime. The most urgent need, however, is found in the soils of the coast section, in those of the foothills on either side of the Wil lamette valley and the rolling section of the lower part of the valley. The level, flat lands of the valley floor do not respond so readily to applications of lime, probablly because of their more or less waterlogged condition. Any farmer, who so desires will up on application receive from the de partment of soils of the Oregon Agri cultural college, directions for testing the acidity of his own soil, or if he prefers, he may send samples of soil to the department for testing. Very truly yours, A. B. CORDLEY, Secretary, State Lime Board. Hotbed Items. Sow vegetable seeds about six to eight to the inch in the bed, cover ing the seed from 1-4 to 1-2 of an inch. When the plants are growing their fourth leaf they should come out and go into the same hot bed usually 2 in ches or so apart. Glass coverings over the soil in a bed should not be very far from the soil for in this way the plants will be nearest the light and will not be drawn. After the' seed has been sown and the soil watered with tepid water, the bed should be kept at a tempera ture of 80 degrees. A slight amount of air should be given daily but only a very little. As the plants come through the soil the same temperature should be kept but enough air given during the day so that it will never be stale and the water collect in drops of condensation on the under side of the glass sash. Overwatering, under-airing and close muggy atmosphere are three things that cause more little plants to die in the hotbed in the spring than any other thing. .Plants can not live in an unhealty atmosphere without be coming diseased. As a result mnnjf are affected by the rot at the surface of the ground and die because Uiey are not stout enough to stand up against it. Later on when the plants are bigger they rarely "damp olf " "THE OLD HEN CAN NOT BE CHEATED" The poultry business must be found ed on business principles. H. E. Cos by, extension specialist in poultry husbandry, before a Farmer's week audience emphasized this point and also that the factors which limit egg production should be more carefully j studied. n ' "The old hen cannot be cheated," , said Mr. Cosby. "An eg g has cer tain definite and unvarying constitu ents, and if these are not supplied, GROCERIES AND MEAT Georges Cash Store CARVER St Between Main and Water Sts. c - I lllllll See George For eggs cannot be produced. Breeding for egg production must always pre cede feeding for egg production. Feed is the last consideration. If the fowls are crowded, have damp or dark quar ters or are infested with lice or mites, the best feeds will be of no value for egg production." Mr. Cosby has observed that the difference in flocks is not so great as the difference in flock owners and that the most common reasons for failures of poultrymen are overcrowd ing of birds and the feeding of wet mash. He did not condemn the latter feed but showed that it should not be left before the hen until it sours. "Examine the fowls after they go on the roost at night," said Mr. Cos by. "If their crops are not full they are going to get very hungry before daylight, and must draw on the stored up fat on their bodies. This will limit egg production. The hen uses 75 per cent of all her feed for body mainten ance. She must have oyster shell when she wants it. and it has been found that eastern shell is higher in lime than the western product. "A uniform flock shows that the owner has a definite aim, said Mr. Oosbv. "Each hen should have at least 2 1-2 square feet of floor space, The dry mash should have a nutri tive ration of 1-4 or 1-5. All the components of the mash should be palatable and should not have more than 5 per cent of crude fiber. Part of the protein must be derived from animal sources." MORE BALANCED FEEDS To assist dairymen in buying good balanced dairy feeds - suited to the different feeding conditions, two ad ditional dairy rations have been com puted in cooperation with the exper iment station. Their use is recom mended according to the kind of roughage and succulent feeds the dairyman has and is feeding. Ration No. 2 is being used by a large number of dairymen. Because one ration will not fit all the feed ing conditions of the county, two ad ditional ones have been computed. Some dairymen are feeding roots, oth er silage, some feed alfalfa hay, while others feed native hay. With this fact in mind, three rations are sug gested that may be obtained by ask ing the local feed dealers for them by ration number. Ration No. 2 to be used with na tive hay and roots or silage: Mill run - 1200 lbs. Barley 500 lbs. Cotton seed '. 300 lbs.

RECIPES Cream Tomato Soup One and a half cans tomatoes; one generous quart water ; three-fourths quart cream; chop coarsely one med ium size onion, one small bunch pars ley, one small head celery, one carrot and boil slowly with the tomatoes and water for an hour and a half. Then put through wire strainer and return to stove. Stir into this a little baking soda, just as much as the point of a table-knife will hold, adding the cream at once. Season with salt, pep per, and butter; add two finely rolled crackers, and when thoroughly hot through serve at once. Cheese Souffle One cup grated American cheese ; two cups milk; three eggs; four slices buttered bread, cut into very small cubes; one teaspoonful salt; pinch of Cayenne pepper; one-fourth tea spoonful dry mustard. Beat eggs, add milk and seasoning. Arrange bread and cheese in alter nate layers in earthen dish, cover with milk, etc.. and let stand 15 min utes. Bake 20 or 30 minutes and serve at once in dish in which it was baked. This makes a very dainty luncheon dish and an excellent substitute for a vegetable. BANNER THOUGHTS IN POETRY Little Finger Prints Little ones will write their names, And make marks of very kind; It's mostly on the window panes , You've polished till they shine, And have their play-things all around And chairs tied up with strings. To make a train of choo choo cars, To carry air their toys and things. I use to think the window panes Must be polished clean and bright; And all the house be spick and span With not a bit of dirt in sight Then, if some company would come, And find things out of place, I always did the very same. Apologize in greatest haste. 'Tis years ago, it seems but. yesterday T.ittie ones, with laughter and with noise. Made the home so happy and so gay, My darling, naughty, girls and poys. I did not know how soon the day The boys and girls would all.be grown And every one would go away And leave us in our home alone. The house seems bigaaft still, . There's not a bit of noise; And yet 'tis such a little while Since it was full of girls and boys. No chubby hand to leave its print On window pane or mark the wall; No playthings scattered all about, No racing up and down the hall.
