Character Essential to Success
The strength of the herd. Getting a
right start is important in every un
dertaking and no where is 'it more
important than in the establishment
of a herd of hogs for profit and to
express the merit of the foreed being
handled. Proper care and precautions
are decidedly essential. The discuss
ion of pedigree and its relation to
success in founding a pure bred herd
contributes to a better understanding
of some of the essential conditions of
the business. The fundamental fac
tors always have been and always
will be the pig itself. The purchase
of a herd begins a story with inter
est and fascination. All things being
equal here let it be said that the char
acter of the man undertaking the
business has everything to do with
the strength of the herd. The history
of the pure bred is strewn with fail
ures made by -men who had ample
money and elaborate equipment but
who lacked initiative and the charac
teristics required for success; men
who were unwilling themselves to
give rights to vigilant watchfulness,
and days to painstaking attention to
quarters and to feed. There is nothing
truly valuable which can foe purchas
ed without pains and labor.
The gods have set a price on every
real and noble pleasure. The( breed
ing and improvement of live stock are
unique. Success in it is exceedingly
' difficult if not impossible in the ab
sence of modern methods of feeding
and management persistently applied.
The wisest and most successful breed
ers are what they are by virtue of
' the fact that they have applied busi
ness principles to their operations.
Therefore one of the greatest fund
amentals of success in the live stock
business is the character of the man
who undertakes it.

BROCCOLI SEASON OVER AND
SEED PLANTING BEGINS
The recent warmer weather has
wound up the marketing of one of
the state's most important vegetables.
Seed sowing for the 1923 crop is now
taking place, the seed usually being
planted during the first two weeks of
May.
Outdoor seed beds in a convenient
place, are made up in which the seed
is dropped thinly in the row, the
rows being about 18 to 24 inches
apart. Three ounces of seed provides
ample plants for an acre if the ger
mination is normal.
There is an exceptionally large
amount of imported seed 1eing plant
ed this spring due to unability to ob
tain much state grown seed.
Chas. W. Kruse of Oswego, prenjier
cauliflower and broccoli grower, will
have no seed to speak of this fall as
the ijast winter hit the broccoli very
hard In -the Oswego section. Mr.
Kruse is of the opinion, also that the
seemingly increased number of fuzzy
or woolly heads this year is caused by
climatic conditions which have been
generally unfavorable for the best de
velopment of broccoli seeds. Pacific

( Silage for Horses
Silage is not a safe horse feed.
While it is used to fome extent for
that purpose, the feeder must be ex
tremely careful in his examination of
the silage that goes to the horses.
Horses are more liable to digestive
derangejnents than other livestock
and, while a comparatively small
amount of their feed, to increase the
bulk, may consist of good silage,

there is great danger from over-feeding,
or from the feeding of mouldy or
spoiled silage,. It is difficult to whol
ly pervent mouldy spots in silage,
which results from'imperfect packing,
and it is also difficult to make sure
that none of these mouldy spots occur
in silage that is being fed. When
fed, its use should foe confined chief
ly to growing colts and idle horses.
Silage, if fed to a working horse,
causes him to sweat easily and pro
duces much the same effect as green
feed or pasture.
HONEY IN OREGON
By H. A. Scullen
(Specialist in Bee Culture, Oregon Ag
ricultural College)
How much honey is produced in the
State of Oregon? This is a difficult
question to answer but a conservative
estimate would place the amount at 60
car loads or what would amount to a
good sized freight train. It is true
that much of this honey is. consumed
in the homes of the producer and his
friends, yet probably close to 75 per
cent of this amount goes into the
market, either through the local gro
cery store or through the .hands of
the jobber. With all this production
much honey is being shipped in from
neighboring states and the tropics,
much of which is inferior in quality
and is sold as Oregon honey.
There are 100,000 colonies of bees
in the State of Oregon managed by
close to 10,000 beekeepers.
With the increased acreage going
under irrigation the present produc
tion could be increasedto three or four
times the present amount. At pres
ent honey is foeing produced in com
mercial quantities largely in the irri
gated alfalfa districts. Umatilla Coun
ty and Malheur County lead in pro
duction. Each of "the two counties
produce from 15 to 20 or more car
loads, many individuals in each of
these counties produce considerably
over a car load each.
Oregon now has over 300,000 acres
under irrigation. It could easily sup
port over 100,000 colonies. It is esti
mated that there are an additional one
million two hundred thousand acres,
which it would be possible to irrigate,
allowing one colony to every five
acres, which would foe very conserva
tive. This would provide sufficient
pasturage for over 200,000 additional
colonies. '
Lime Plant Will Open
If Orders Are Sient in
The Oregon state lime plant at Gold
Hill will be opened by the state board
if enough new orders are listed to
justify the further grinding of agricul
tural lime, says the secretary of the
board, A. B. Cordley, dean of agricul
ture at the state college. Farmers
needing less than car lots may com
bine orders for carlot supplies as only
cash-in-advance orders for 30-ton lots
can be accepted by the board.
The board desires as early placing
of orders as possible, as it is necess
ary to look up the services of a con
tractor or new manager to take the
place of the former plant superintend
ent, C. W. Courtney, who has resigned
to go into business for himself. Con
tractors or managers wishing to un
dertake the work are asked to get in
touch with the board.
Orders are coming in slowly, and
now total something more than 500
tons ground limestone. The price f.
o. b. Gold Hill in car lots, is ?4 a ton.
Special shipping rates of $2 per ton
to Salem, like reductions to other
points, have been obtained from the
Southern Pacific Railway company.
"Inquiries indicate that Oregon
fanners are learning the value of ag
ricultural lime," says IJean Cordley.
."The experiment station has made esr
tended investigations of the value of
lime on various soil types for Various
crops, and under favorable conditions
lime should foe profitable at present
prices. Where its value has not al
ready been determined for the condi
tions, the station recommendation is
that only enough lime be ordered to
make trial applications."
This need not be unduly expensive
since Iby pooling their orders with
larger orders farmers may get their
trial supplies at the same rates they
would pay for the large orders. Farm
ers wanting lime may see their neigh
bors and make up carlot orders which
they are to send to Secretary Cord
ley at Corvallis.
of minerals than do the small grains
ordinarily fed. The matter of supply
ing minerals dierctly in the form of
mineral salts is still in the experi
ment stage.
Tent Caterpillars Hatching
Tent caterpillars egg. masses are
now hatching in the orchard. Many
growers keep a sbarp Jsookout for
these small tents that contain the
immature worms so as to remove
them before much damage is done.
This may be done with the aid of a
long stick or by cutting out the whole
branch where it is -small, or even by
passing a torch under the tents
quickly. Where they are numerous
and widely distributed it is some
times necessary to spray for them
with arsenate of lead, three pounds
to 100 gallons of water, at the first
practical opportunity.
There are several ways or improving
a dairy herd. Elimination of low
producers increases average produc
tion. It may decrease total produc
tion, but usually increases net profit.
The experience of successful dairy
men and of the Department of Agri
culture has shown this. Better feed
ing of the cows already on the farm
Increases average and total produc
tion, and may increase net profit. Use
of better sires increases average as
well as total production, and always
Increases net profit, it has been found.
All dairy-herd improvement due to
better breeding tends to increase profit
to the producer and decrease cost to
the consumer. It is one of the ways
by which the world may become richer
without decreasing the prosperity of
any individual in it.
Well-formed, registered bulls from
proved sires and advanced-registry
dams are usually fit to head even high
producing dairy herds. When such
bulls have proved sons and advanced-
Rev. Caradoc Morgan
Gives Salem Address
The following statements were tak
en from an address by Rev. C. J. Mor
gan of this city o n"The Demand for
Religious Education" at Salem on
Wednesday of this week.
"The United States of America has
been invaded by three armies which
threaten our national existence. First,
there is withinour borders an army of
five and one half , million illiterates
above ten years of age. Second,
there is an army of fifty eight mill
ion people who are not identified
with any; church, Jewish, Catholic, or
Protestant. Third, there' is an army
of million Protestant children and
youth, under twenty five years of age,
-v.no are not enrolled in any Sunday
School or other institution for relig
ious training.
If these armies should form a dou
ble column, three feet apart they
would, reach one and one third times
round the globe at the equator. If
they should march in review before
the president of the United States,
starting on the day of his inaugura
tion, moving double column at the
rate of 25 miles a day, it would take
these armies three years and eight
months to pass the president.
These three armies constitute a
triple alilance which threatens the
life of our democracy. Patriotism de
mands that every loyal American
should rush to the colors and. wage
three great campaigns--A campaign
for Americanization, a campaign for
adult evangelism, and a campaign for
the spirit-nurture of children."
"The reason why crime has increas
ed in America 500 per cent in the
past 70 years is not mental within
this stated time there has been a
genuine revival ihthe methods, facil
ities, and attendance in public
schools. The Cause is not physical
in view of what science is doing to
extend the life of the individual.
Neither can the cause be traced to
immigration for the number of Am
ericans in our jails are more than
doublethe number of immigrants
from Northern Europe, in our jails.
The primal cause for the increase in
crime is lack of religious education in
the homes, Sunday Schools, and pub
lic schoolsof our nation.
Protestant children receive only 26
hours a year in one half hour a Sun
day religious instruction in our Sun
day schools.
"The great peril of America is not
the Yellow Peril. Neither is Bolshe
vism America's greatest peril. Neith
er is the White Plague or the Black
Plague the great peril of America
America's greatest peril is the spirit
ual neglect of the rising generation
The cause for crime can always be
traced to spiritual illiterac which is
a menace to the morals of society.
So long as the Bible is closed and
unused in the home, andbarred fronj
our public schools, and studied only
26 hours a year in our Protestant
churches so-tong will America lead
the world in crime and spiirtual illit
eracy the two greatest enemies of
organized society."

FARM REMINDERS
Full Stand High Yield
Planting enough good seed to get
a full stand is the important thing
with corn. Twelve pounds of seed,
if not planted too deep, will usually
give a good yield.
Scab Fungus Is Active
A few rainy days allow the scale
and pear scab fungus to develop with
more than ordinary rapidity. The fact
that orchards have apparently been
free from scab early in the season
should not tempt the grower to let
up on the spray program. Remember
last years scabby fruit
Cows Need Mineral Elements
A shortage of mineral elements in
the rations fed in western Oregon
dairies has been the subject of con
siderable discussion lately. The most
practical method of insuring the cows
against such lack is to feed plenty of
legume hay such as alfalfa, clover, or
vetch. In addition, the cows should
be given a fairly long dry period in
which to recuperate their reserve min
eral supply. The high protein grains
such as oil meal, cotton seed meal,
and bran, contain a higher percentage
A ROTTING building is abso
lute waste, because a small
investment in paint will save it.
A building that is not protected
by paint must either be rebuilt
or repaired in a few years at a
costly figure.
Check the costs. Compare the
prices of paint and lumber. Can
you afford to bear the expense of
rebuilding or repairing your
home, when to save it costs so
little?
When you paint, make an ad
ditional saving by using the best
paint. It spreads easily saves
labor cost. It covers more sur
