Correspondence FARM REMINDERS Don't Dope Weak Chicks Giving "dope" to sick or weakly chicks is wasted effort. Vigor is the foundation of the paying flock. Neith er sentiment, pity, nor purchase price should pervent the owner from killing every weak, deformed, and diseased chick. O. A. C. Experiment station. Sow Flax Shallow Fiber flax should be planted shallow on a mellow, firm seed bed. When drilled in shallow with a double disc or hoe drill a more even stand may usually be had with 30 pounds less seed to the acre. The usual rate for broadcasting is 100 to 125 pounds per acre. O. A. C. Experiment station. Mineral Mix for Hogs A mineral mixture for hogs, kept before them at all times, is, a great help in keeping the animals in good physical condition. A healthy and thrifty hog will utilize feed to better advantage than one not physically fit, so grain will be saved by using min eral. The following mixture is recom mended by the United States depart ment of agriculture: Wood ashes bushel Charcoal 1 bushel . Salt 8 pounds Air slaked lime ... 4 pounds Powdered sulfur 4 pounds Copperas 2 pounds Sterilize Prune Boxes One important step in the control of brown rot is to sterilize the prune boxes before returning them to the or chard. Boiling water or live steam will do the work effectively. A good arrangement is to have a tank in which water may be kept hot with pipes run from the drier furnace. This tank, if large enough, will provide a means of washing the trays as well, thus keeping them from getting gum med up with drippings. O. A. C. Ex periment station. THE SLEEP OF TREES The common fruit trees have a nor mal rest period and are dormant dur ing the early part of the winter. Dur ing the latter part of the winter they gradually awaken and the first evi dence of growth is noted id the swell ing of the buds. The date at which the trees come into blossom is modified most by two conditions. The trees that go into winter quar ters or become dormant first in the fall are the ones that ordinarily start growth first in the spring. This state ment is true particularly in compar ing different trees of the same varie ty. Trees of different varieties or species can not be compared so well with each other. The other factor that influences the date at which trees come into blos som is the amount of heat to which they are exposed during the middle and latter part of the winter. The plant contains in the branches and trunk enough stored food to put out its blossoms without any growth taking place, and the placing of mlulch or material over the soil to keep it NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE Notice is hereby given that in pur suance of an order of the County Court of Clackamas County, Oregon, made on the 26th day of September, 1921, in the matter of the Estate of Alice M.

S. Risley D. L. C. in Township Two (2) South of Range One (1) East of the Willam ette Meridian in Clackamas County, Oregon, and more particularly bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point which is 67. .24 feet south and 1608.17 feet east of the northwest corner of said J.

FITZGERALD, Attorney, 421 Mohawk Building, Portland, Oregon. 3-23-5t cool and prevent root action is more liable to do harm to the trees than any good and it can not in the least modify the date at which the trees will come into blossom. Whitewashing the trunk and branches of the tree and keeping them perfectly white during the winter and spring will sometimes delay the blos soming period. In order for this to be effected, however, the whitewash must be applied early in the winter and kept white until blossoming time in the spring. Mulching the soil to keep it cool will retard root growth and is liable to cause the trees to suffer for plant food that should be gathered by the roots early in the spring.

HARDLY KNOWS HOW TO ESTIMATE VALUE CATTLE MEN'S MEETING TO SHOW FEEDING TESTS A daily gain of one pound per steer was made on alfalfa hay alone over a three-yea? period at the Eiatern Ore gon experiment station, Union, while the average daily gain per steer fed a combination of hay and silage was 1 pounds. Oregon growers will be given an opportunity to see the cat tle that were fed by these methods for the last two years, and hear reports of the feeding experiments at the feeder's day meeting at the Union branch station, April 13 and 14. "These experiments have shown that for cattle fattening a combination of silage and hay gives far better re sults than hay alone," says H. A. Lind gren, extension animal husbandry specialist. "The combination ration was also somewhat cheaper. "This experiment is well worth your while looking into. The" meeting will afford an opportunity to actually see what can be done in the way of prac tical feeding, as shown by the experi ment station." ECONOMIC HOG GROWING LIMITED BY FARM WASTE "The problem of hog production in the northwest is largely that of bal ancing up with local consumption," says H. A. Lindgren, animal husband ry extension specialist at O. A. C. "Oregon finds it profitable to produce only the number of hogs needed to consume the farm waste." It is noted that 50 per cent of the hogs of the United States are grown west of the Mississippi river, while 68 per cent are consumed east of the river. The corn belt hogs are slaught ered at the river towns, which draw heavily from the hog-producing states of the middle west. The northwest states are too far from the center of consumption to compete with the corn belt production. SHERIFF'S SALE "I hardly know how to estimate the value of the benefit I have receiv ed from Number 40 Prescription," writes Mr. Morris Law, of National Soldiers Home Wis. "I was a suffer er from chronic constipation of many years standing," he continued, "which finally developed into stomach trou ble and I was unable to eat anything that did not cause intense suffering. I tried several doctors as well as ev erything I heard of that was recom mended for my complaint. I was also troubled with catarrh and had drop sical swellings in my feet and ankles which the doctors said was caused by a weak heart, I had about given up hopes of getting any better when I read your advertisement for Number 40 Prescription and concluded to try it. I have taken two bottles and have received such wonderful benefit that I cheerfully recommend it to anyone suffering as I was." Number 40 Prescription is recom mended for blood troubles from any cause; chronic constipation, indigest tion, stomach and liver troubles, ec zema, skin troubles, etc. Acts on the liver removing waste matters from the system thus cleansing the blood of all impurities and doing away with the need of cathartic pills and tablets.

S. Brown, head of the department of horticulture at the Oregon Agricultural college. There is no reason, he says, why the man with three apple trees should not have just as clean fruit as the man with threa thousand. "I suggest that any one having but a few trees buy a good low priced hand spray rig which will give ample protection against diseases and pests. A simple bucket pump equipped with a long hose costs only from $7 to $9. but is entirely practical. When one person runs the pump and the other sprays, a few trees can be covered easily and quickly. "A complete spray calendar may be had from the college for the asking which shows clearly what to apply for every disease and when to apply it Lime-sulfur, Bordeaux mixture, and arsenate of lead can be obtained from local dealers so that all is need ed is to mix them according to sim ple directions and put them on. 'Another good plan is for several persons to club together and get a barrel outfit mounted on wheels. These outfits are not high priced but are capable of caring for quite a number of trees. Any one desiring additional information as to where to obtain any of the spray rigs mention ed should feel free to write to the hor ticultural department." FARM REMINDERS In keeping kale plants for seed only low thickly branched plants with many moderate sized leaves should be saved. These low growing heavy yielders produce the most feed and stand the hard winters best. O. A. C. Experiment station. Small Spray Rigs Practical Farmers or city dwellers having only a few fruit trees need not let their fruit be destroyed by diseases and insect pests because they lack a power sprayer. For a small number of trees, even a bucket pump rig will give good results, while its cost is slight. Materials can be purchased in small quantities in nearly every town, and any one can find out just what to get and when to apply it by reading the spray calendar which may be had free by writing to the 0. A. C. Experiment station. Select Spud Patch With Care Ground for the potato patch should be seelcted with care. Aside, from matter of proper soil type it is im portant to use soil that is free from contamination with potato diseases. No land should be used that has been in potatoes within three years past if possible to avoid it. Growers should obtain disease free seed at once and store it under proper conditions to in sure firm potatoes at planting time. O. A. C. Experiment station. Rid House Plants of Insects Most of the insects affecting the foliage of house or yard plants, in cluding scale, white fly, aphis, and red spider may be killed by bathing the plants in a soap and tobacco so lution. To one quart of strong soap solution made from castile or other good hand soap add 10 drops of Black Leaf 40, which can be obtained at the drug store. Bathe the plant thorough- NELDON'S WATCH SHOP has the agency for the Mandel Phonographs which is as good as the very best instrument sold by any one, at a remarkable low price of $75.00.

Clover for Worn Lnd Clover, either red or alsike, im proves rundown land quite rapidly, but it is hard to get a good stand on such soil. Seeding alone in April or early May is the best "method.

Spores on Dead Leaves Spores of apple and pear scab are produced by the millions on the dead leaves about the time the huds begin to break in the spring. These spores cause the first scab infection hence a dormant spray for this disease is useless.

Chicks Need Good Feed "No grain or mixture of grains supplies the various elements of food necessary for normal chick develop ment. The chick grains must be sup plemented with muscle forming foods derived from ,an animal source, such as milk, eggs, or meat scraps."
