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

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,

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.
Ration No. 3 to be used with alfal
fa hay and roots or silage:
Mill run iuu ids-. -

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.
If I could turn the pageof life'
