SILO IS NEEDED
ON EVERY FARM
In a recent investigation by the de
partment of agriculture it was found
that the prosperity of a 'community
could largely be dt'.ermined by the
number of cows tli.-.t. they kept. Com
paring crop farm!, .g sections with
dairy communiUco it was found that
the average bank, deposits per capita
of the dairy section were greater than
those of the crop growing despite
hardships of the dairymen.
One of the essentials on the milk
farm is the silo. It is no longer an
experiment, but has been paying divi
dends these many years. Many re
liable figures are shown where it has
paid for itself in a single season, and
the experienced feeder would count
it a calamity to give up his silo.
Many farmers are undertaking to
equip their farms so they can derive
better incomes and handle the work
in the most economic and produtcive
way. The silo can most wisely be
added to the list of desirable improvements.

PEANUTS SHOULD BE SHELLED
JUST-BEFORE PLANTING TIME
Delay in planting peanuts after shel
ling the seed causes considerable loss
in germination, it has been learned
during the course 'of investigations
conducted by the United States de
partment of agriculture. The investi
gations involved tests of shelled and
When the baby chicks come off the
nest or out of the incubator do not
follow your natural instinct to feed
them at once. Be sure that they
are in a good warm place where they
can not be chilled, and where their
only "feed" for the first day or so
is find sand and a little charcoal.
They will not eat much of it, to be
sure, but they will take enough of
it to be ready to handle their food in
a couple of days. During the first
day or two of a chick's life the egg
yolk in the body supplies the neces
sary nourishment.
Clean, sour milk and clean, fresh
water may be given to the chicks
almost from the start, though they
should not be given too much nourish
ment in the form of milk in the first
day or two.
An excellent early feed for the lit
tle chick is stale bread soaked in sour
milk and squeezed out to a crumbly
mass. Hardboiled egg, finely1 cut
and mixed with equal parts of bread
crumbs and oat meal have also been
recommended.
The feeding of chick feed and fine
ly cracked grain may be begun gradu
ally after the chick is 10 days or 2
weeks old, though this may be post
poned for considerable time if plen
tiful bread and milk are provided.

This is more than sixteen tons in

from the Pacific Homestead and hand

this county are urged to patronize J unshelled peanuts and the effect of
the time of shelling on the germina
tion of the' seed.
Peanuts planted after being shelled
for different lengths of time show
ed great differences in germination.
Those shelled 68 days before plant
ing gave only 3.7 per cent germina
tion and a yield of 3 1-3 bushels per
acre; planted 19 days after shelling,
the germination was 78 per cent and
the yield 31 1-3 bushels per acre;
planted 1 day after shelling, the ger
mination was 94 per cent and the
yiald 64 2-3 bushels per acre. A de
lay of even 9 days after shelling gave
appreciably lower results than those
obtained by immediate planting. The
germination was only 85per cent, as
compared with 94 per cent when there
was a delay of but one day after the
shelling. The yield in the last case
was ony 55 1-3 bushels per acre.
Particular stress therefore has been
laid by department specialistc on the
importance of holding the peanuts
unshelled until just before the time
they are to be planted.
only those concerns which do not deal
in butter substitutes."
This resolution, recently passed by
one of the strong breed clubs of the
state, is not intended as a boycott,
writes Secretary H. R. Hartley of
the club, but is designed to make clear
the dairymen's attitude toward the
various products that are placed on
the market to compete wth genuine
butter.
"I believe that if all dairymen would
so express themselves it would soon
reduce the number of concerns deal
ing in them," he says. "It appears to
be hard to educate some people to the
real value of genuine milk and butter.
The dairy councils are doing a great
work in this direction, and I hope the
day will soon come when we can sell
our products above the cost of production."
ROAD BUILDING GROWN TO '
BIG NATIONAL INDUSTRY
Road building is one of the na
tion's largest industries, according to
statistics compiled by the bureau of
public roads. United States depart
ment of agriculture, and surpasses
such great industries as the manufac
ture of steel and iron as well as the
production, sale and repair of automo
biles. In December, 1920, less than
600,000 men were employed in the
steel and iron industry. It is esti
mated that last year something like
750,000 men were engaged in making,
selling, and repairing automobiles. As
compared with this an army of ap
proximately 1,000,000 men labored last
year throughout the road-construction
season in building and repairing the
country's highways.
Fifty million tons of stone and grav
el will be required by the 28,000 miles
of feredal-aid roads either completed
or under construction in the United
States at the end of the present fis
cal year, cacording to the estimates
of the bureau of public roads. Some
idea of the quantity is given by the
fact that it is equal to a million car
loads. If the material were piled in
one place in the form of a cube it
would be approximately 1000 feet in
each direction, or nearly twice as high
as the Washington monument.

This is a great record, she started
her yearly work in good shape as is
shown by her seven and 30-day re
cords and kept everlastingly at it
as is shown by her yearly produc
tion. She produced over 16 tons of milk,
over 400 cans of 10 gallons each. She
would supply approximately 44 fam
ilies with one quart per day each.
This is the first Oregon cow to pro
duce over 30,000 pounds of milk in
one year.

An "If for Girls.
If you can dress to make yourself
attractive.
Yet not make puffs and curls

If you can swim and row, be strong
and active,
But of the gentle grace lose not

If you can dance without -a craze
for dancing,
Play without giving play too
strong a hold,
Enjoy the love of friends without
romances.
Care for the weak, the friendless
and the old.
If you can faster French and Greek
and Latin.
And not acquire as well a prig
gish mien;
If you can feel the touch of silk
and satin.
Without disdaining calico and
jean.
ir you can ply a saw and use a
hammer.
Can do a man's wcrk when its
need occurs; .
Can . sing hen asked without ex-
cuse or stammer.
Can rise above unfriendly snubs
and slurs.
If you can make good bread as well
as fudges.
Can sew with skill and have an
edge for dust,
If you can be a friend and hold no
grudges,
A girl whom all will love because
they must.
If sometime you should meet and
love another.
And make a home with faith and
peace enshirned,
And you its soul a loyal wife and
mother
You'll work out pretty nearly to

The plan that's been developed
through the ages,
And win the best that life can
have in Btore,
You'll be, my girl, a model for the

A woman whom the world will

Developing Good Judgment in
Children.
(By Edith Lochridge Reid.)
Much of the innefficiency ' through
out the business world today is di
rectly due to lack of proper early
training in the home.. No business
system or course in salesmanship and
technique can ever quite overcome the
habits and mind development acquir
ed while the individual was passing
through childhood and the most im
pressionable years of bis existence.
One Monday morning I discovered
that I was out of laundry soap be
cause. Jennie, our laundress, had not
reported the fact before she left the
previous week. There was just time
for Robert to go to the store before
school. "Get five bads of M. B. Laun
dry Soap," I told him as he started
off. Meanwhile Jennie sat around
waiting, all because she hadn't told
me about the empty soap box before.
However, while this fact is not exact
ly the point I am making in this ar
ticle, yet nevertheless it proves that
Jennie had not been taught to use her
judgment when she was small.
But to go back to Robert. In the
course of time he appeared in the
kitchen with empty hands. I had told
him to get M. B. Laundry Soap but
the store had none, and although the
grocer wanted him to bring the next
best he decided not to spend his mon
ey for something I hadn't told him to
get. Now Robert is nine years old,
and. he knew that the washing could
not begin until we had the soap. But
there were only twenty minutes be
tween then and school time so I dis
patched Jennie herself for the soap
and used ten .minutes in trying to
impress upon Robert when not to con
form to implicit obedience. I show
ed him how to reason that the wash
ing was soaking. And there wasn't
any soap in the house. Jenn.e was
waiting. The clothes had to be wash
ed. And to get them clean we must
have soap.
Now it would have been much easi
er to have said: Oh, Robert, run
along to school; you do use such
poor judgment But some day Ro
bert is going to work for an employ
er. And that employer will not
always be on hand to tell him what
to do when the right kind of material
is not available. That employer will
hire him for that very purpose, name
ly to do his thinking for him and take
some of the responsibility of his de
partment. We can't always get the
kind of. soap we ask for in this world
and we must mab""l,(iecisions
and wise ones Jr the next
best thing. .. Sj
But I was rewarded the very next
time. The soap ordeal made its im
pression on Robert
One evening "Daddy" telephoned
out that he was bringing home a guest
for supper. My first thought was
No 'bread." So I sent Robert to
the store for two loaves of bread. But
it was late in the day and the store
had nothing left but graham bread.
Robert walked out and started for
home, then he reflected actually re
flected as I had suggested to him.
There was no bread in the house. A
guest was due. Something in the na
ture of bread food was necessary. So
he returned to the store and said he
would take the graham bread. "Two
loaves?" asked the grocer. Again Ro
bert used his brains. Our family
does not care for graham bread. So
we would not want any left over for
next day and he came home with one
loaf. I was so pleased I could have
hugged him for joy if I hadn't been
in such a dreadful hurry to get a has
ty meal prepared. But the next day
I had a nice talk with Robert, and
I found that he had reasoned about
the bread question just as I had in
dicated above and he said: "Mother,
I would have come home without any
bread and the store would have been
closed before you could sent me back
if it had not been for the soap."
How I did feel repaid for taking
that few mintues time on a busy Mon
day morning to explain how to use
good judgment!
Mothers and teachers can recall in
stance after instance similar to the
two mentioned when a child had to
make an independent decision. If he
had been wisely trained he made a
wise decision. If not, be probably
came home without the soap. It
pays to have patience and spend a
little time teaching logic even to the
tots. Eventually the time saved by
such instruction will be multiplied
a hundred fold, and even though we
get no immediate results, we owe
it to the future of the boy and girl
to expend- this energy in stressing
the vital importance of using good
judgment. If they do not learn to
weigh and measure and decide things
for themselves at the impressionable
age, they will not have this faculty
developed when they are grown. Ha
bits are not mushrooms that grow
over night. They are oak trees that
must be planted many years before
they are actually needed for shade.
But the acorn must drop where the
soil is fertile. '
Whatever you have to buy, sell, rent or exchange,
whether you want employment or employees.

Not satisfied with the results of the
national agricultural conference which
had been in session in Washington
five days, a group of conference dele
gates met in a "Rump" convention
on Saturday last, just after the close
of the session called by the president
Those who met on Saturday styled
themselves the "Agricultural Bloc of
Secretary Wallace's conference." This
term distinguished this meeting so
far as the personel was concerned,
from the regular meeting in which-
there were assembled not only farm
ers, but men from allied industries.
Among the Tecommendationa ue.uTi
made and which they -will make their
legislative program were: (1). Gov
ernment operation of railroads; 2, the
reduction of freight rates to the level
before the enactment of the Esch-
Cummings law; 3, the stabilization ot
grain prices through government ac
tion and the establishment of gov
ernment agencies to finance the ex
portation of farm products to foreign
countries.
The Time to Buy
Is when others are not buying
when money is rather close
and prices are low. '
When spring opens there is
always a buyers' rush, and
prices always follow demand.
If youwant a city home, a

over now and save mone.y.
