O A C CORRESPONDENCE
LAND DRAINAGE IS TEXT
BY O. A. C. SPECIALISTS
"Land drainage" is the name of a
new textbook just published by John
Wiley and Sons, New York, written
by W. L. Powers, chief in soils at
Oregon Agricultural college, and T.
A. Teeter, formerly professor of drain
age and irrigation engineering at O.
A. C. The book deals with the sub
ject of drainage primarily from the
agricultural standpoint and is intend
ed as a reference book for practical
farmers, and an aid to owners of wet
land, as well as a' text for students.
As the text book has already been
adopted at the Iowa State college at
Ames, and will probably be adopted
soon at the university of California,
it is expected to appear here soon. It
will be used next term at the Oregon
Agricultural college. The book is
divided into four parts dealing separ
ately with the subjects of field drain
age, district drainage, special drain
age problems, and drainage survey
ing. It is well illustrated, written
with a view to interest the readers
as well as instruct, and is a compre
hensive treatment of the subject of
drainage.
V. L. Powers, one of the authors,
has been connected with the Oregon
experiment station and college for
12 years, during which time he has
assisted in the designing and installa
tion of more than 500 miles of tfle
systems serving 20,000 acres of land
in this state. He has directed feasi
bility surveys on 100 projects covering
half a million acres. Some 60 of
these districts have been organized
comprising 260,000 acres. For five
years Mr. Powers was secretary of
the Oregon State Drainage associa
tion, and has recently been asked to
serve as vice-president for Oregon of
the national drainage . congress. Pro
fessor Powers is the author ct' 12 bul
letins and many reports.
LAMONA BREED MAKES
FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE
The Lamona, the new white-egg lay
ing general-purpose fowl originated
and being developed by the United
States department of agriculture;
made its first public appearance at the
Madison Square garden poultry show
held in New York from January 25
to 30, where 15 of the birds were
shown in the open classes. In ad
dition to the Lamonas and other gov
ernment-bred fowls of standard breeds
the department put on an extensive
exhibit consisting of models of poul
try houses, a display of feathers of the
standard breeds, appliances such as
feed hoppers, brood, coops, and a fat
tening battery. A series of panels
made up of photographs, charts, and
placards, showed the more important
standard breeds, the feeding of hens
for egg production, the preparation
of birds for exhibition, the advanta
ges of early hatching, the improve
ment resulting from the use of
high quality sire, capons and capon
izing, culling the farm flock, and the
pedigree breeding of poultry.
A number of department represen
tatives took part in the program of
the show and gave information to
the visitors concerning the education
al exhibit. They reported an extra
ordinary interest on the part of the
public and various poultry breeders in
the Lamona breed, many persons de
siring to obtain breeding birds. The
department believes it necessary to
perfect them still more as regards cer
tain characteristics and it is not like
ly that any will be for sale during the
coming year.
Farm Reminders.
Early spring seeding of grain gives
the best results, but when planted ia
rather cold soils the rate of seeding
should be increased. Snr.'ng oats
should be planted not less than three
bushels per acre, and spring wheat
and barley at about two bushels per
acre.
Why not set eggs from a selected
flock of the best hens rather than
from the whole flock? Wouldn't it
pay to raise the average production of
the flock two or three dozen eggs
per hen? Try it O. A. C. Expert
ment station.
Watch the Bee Hives.
Examination of the stands of bees
should be made from the middle of
February to the first of March. Choose
a time when the bees are flying well
and make sure that the hive has a
good laying queen. The amount of
honey store may be determined at
the same time. O. A. C. Experiment
station.
Nineteen Attend O. A. C. Canning
Course.
Cannerymen to the number of nine
teen who have come from points in
Oregon and Washington all the way
from Olympia to Medford are enroll
ed in the canner's short course now
being given by the department of hor
ticultural products at the Oregon Ag
ricultural college. The men are en
thusiastic over their work, says E.
H. Wiegand, who is giving the course.
The course includes practical work
in the well equipped laboratories and
lectures, many of which are given
by men brought to the college for this
special occasion. O. A. C. Experiment
station.
Nearly one-fourth of the purbred
swine in the United States on Janu
ary 1, 1920, were Duroc Jersey, the
total number of that breed reported
by the bureau of the census being
819,117 head. Poland Chinas were
second with a total of 26,503 and
Chester Whites third with a total of
191,207.
CALCIUM ARSENATE WINS
CALL AS BEST POISON
Calcium arsenate applied as a dust
is the most desirable form of poison
for use on general truck and garden
crops for the control of foliage eating
insects, and other pests. It is es
pecially effective used against the
garden slug, while lead arsenate" kills
slugs so slowly that it is not practical
to use in their control. These con
clusions have been reached by the
O. A. C. Experiment station following
tests with many poisons. Calcium ar
senate should be diluted at the rate
of 1 part to 9 of sifted wood ashes,
airslacked lime, or similar finely di
vided dust. Hand dusting ma
chines may be purchased but they are
not necessary as a row of plants may
be dusted quite rapidly by sifting the
mixture through a cheese cloth bag
or old salt sack by shaking it over
the row as one walks along.
Dealers throughout Oregon have
been urged to carry a supply of this
material because of its superiority
for vegetable crops. Growers should
have no difficulty, therefore, in ob
taining a supply from their local deal
er. "I am glad that the college station
men have asked dealers to carry this
calcium form of the arsenate," says
a vegetable dealer in the Willamette
valley, "because I've seen some of my
pretty good stuff go down before the
slugs because I could not get this poi
son in time to stop them."
Lead arsenate in both powder and
paste form has been on the Oregon
markets for many years, but it has
often been impossible to get calcium
arsenate in many heavy producing
districts of the state.
BLACKBERRY WITHOUT
THORNS PRODUCED
Undoubtedly one of the most inter
esting announcements made by Lu-
uier liurDank in recent years was
that of the perfecting of a thornless
blackberry. Here is how Mr. Bur-
bank describes them:
"They ripen later in the fall than
most of the berries and unlike the
common blackberry, which produces
a multitude of unnecessary suckers.
grow only from tips. Both of these
varieties are as free from spines as
a silken thread, making them, owing
also to their firmness and rare keep
ing qualities, altogether most desir
able berries for home use and the
market."
Weed Grow, Don't Sow.
Red clrover will be planted in Feb
ruary extensively. As tar as possi
ble strong plump seed free from buck
horn should be used. A sample of
clover seed was tested recently at
the experiment station that carried
nearly 7 per cent of that troublesome
weed. O. A. C. Experiment station.
Cows Make Profit.
M. K. Flickenger of Boardman pre
sents the following ftement from
actual records of the production of
five cows and 14 acres of alfalfa, as
an example of what may be done, if
ambition is mixed with good judgment
in farming irrigated land.
Total milk' production, 54,009
pounds; cash sale of milk, butter and
cream, $642. There were six heifer
calves (one cow having twins), val
ued at $300. Three hogs were raised
from skimmed milk, as were the
calves, value $34; skimmed milk sold
$4. One of the twin calves was sold
at three days old for $20. Total
income to be credited to . the cows:
$1000. Hay consumed was 30 tons,
returning $33.33 per ton.
On the 14 acres 65 tons of hay
were raised. Sixteen tons were sold
for $173, 19 tons valued at $228 are
on hand. Total income from the 14
acres was $1400 or $100 per acre.

March 15 Is Final
Date For Income Tax
Clyde G. Huntley, collector of inter
nal revenue, calls the attention of Ore
gon taxpayers to the fact that with
out any exception, the following per
sons must file income tax returns for
the year 1921 not later than, March
Every single person who had a net
income of $ 1000 or more.
Every married person who had a
, net income of f 2000 or more,
j Every head of a family who had a
j net income of $1000 or more.
! The exemption for a single person
! is $1000; for a married person $2500,
' if his income does not exceed $5000.
: If the net income of a married per-
son exceeds $5000, he is allowed an
! exemption of only $2000.
The exemption allowed for depend
ents under 18 years of age has been
increased from $200 to $400, but a re
turn must be made in order for the
taxpayer to claim credit for the ex
emption. In other words, a return
must be filed, although the taxpayer
may not be liable to the payment of
a tax after claiming the exemptions
to which he is entitled under the law.
Don't forget! March 15 is the fin
al day for filing returns.
Taxpayers who fail to file by that
time will be liable to heavy penal
ties. HOW TO OVERCOME
PIGEON SAVAGERY
By J. H. Van Buren.)
One of most disgusting things about
the pigeon business it to see an in
nocent squab that strayed out of its
nest almost scalped or pecked to
death by other birds. This generally
occurs in newly stocked units as it
seems birds are all strange to each
other and a great deal of scrapping
goes on. If, however, the same mat
ed pairs of birds are left together in
a unit in course of a few months they
seemj .to get acquainted: and don't
bother each other's youngsters. In
fact, there usually are a few pair in
the bunch that will even feed a stray
squab occasionally.
Therefore, in order to obtain best
results it is best not to add new birds
in a loft that has become settled and
gone to work. However, if neces
sary to make any different matings
I always like to leave one of the or
iginal birds in its respective unit Tak
ing it out a few days or a week to
mate makes little difference as the
new birds soon get broken in and
claim ihe same nest which the former
bird or pair occupied.
When there are a great many
squabs falling out of their nests there
is trouble somewhere. Usually the
old birds are out of condition, but
even when eyerything is o. k. it Is
possible for a young squab to tumble
out once in a while. Belleville Illin

Elections may come and go, politic

taxes may be raised to the point of
confiscation; labor and capital may

the farmer and operating industries
are crippled by the combined interfer

out when the wheels of industry stop,
even the tax gatherer cannot make
collection. Moral: Stand for sound

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Oregon City People Know How
to Sav It
Many Oregon City people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill health the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is an Ore
gon City citizen's recommendation.
- Mrs. H. Moynagh, 1201 John Adams
St., says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills
when my kidneys were out of order
and when I had severe backaches that
made it hard for me to do my house
work. My kidneys were irregular in
action too when I read of Doan's and
began using them. Doan's soon rid
me of the backache and put my kid
neys in good working order." -
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Moynagh had. Foster-Milburn
