COUNTY AGENTS ARE BUSY
IN OREGON FARM AFFAIRS
Do farmers use the county agents?
What do they want -when they visit
the county agent?
The average county agent in 1921
listed 1500 call3 at his office, made
366 farm visits, held or participated
in 118 meetings, and wrote 1160 let
ters. Soem light is' thrown on what farm
ers want by noting the activities in
the office of W. B. Tucker, agent of
Crook county in January. Crook
county has fewer than 600 farmers all
told.
There were 150 . visitors during the
month and the information they de
sired was along the following lines:
26 callers asked for information on
potato culture, 15 in regard to land
values, 10 for oyote poison, 22 infor
mation on dairy topics, 18 on where
seed of good quality can be purchased,
12 on poultry husbandry, 10 about ag
ricultural magazines, 12 on growing
sugarbeets, 7 on dairy barns, 8 on
rabbit poisoning, and 10 on general
cropping systems.
In Malheur conuty, L. R. Breithaupt,
agent, spent 18 days in the office and
12 days on the farms of the county.
Two hundrel thirty persons called at
the office for personal assistance ; 160
perosnal letters were written in an
swer to specific requests; 22 circulars
including 2153 copies, were mailed to
farmers of the county; 10 meetings
wede held, one for a discussion of
plans on each line of work being car
ried on. The attendance at these
meetings was 945. Seven other meet
ings were participated in, which were
attended by 2019 farmers.
Wherever there is a county agent
there is activity of a substantial and
helpful nature.

TREAT THEM KINDLY
FARM REMINDERS
The home garden should be the
most valuable and productive quarter
acre on the place, in the opinion of
the Missouri Experiment station in
bulletin 193, entitled, "The Home
Vegetable Garden as a Business Pro
position." The authors base their
claim on the returns from a. quarter
acre of vegetables owned by the col
lede at Columbia.
County Agents Will Help
When diseases and insect problems
arise it is a good practice to get in
touch at once with the county agent
as he is directly connected with the
experiment station and is usually in
a position to be of assistance without
delay.
When to Cut Various Hays
When intendedfor dairy cattle, clov
er hay should be cut at the time of
full blossom or soon after. Vetch and
o:its are ready when the grains are
i:i the early dough stage, while grasses
may best be cut when in blossom or
as soon afterwards as possible. After
cutting, protect the hay from excess
ive bleaching and the quality will be
high.
Another Beetle Shows Up
The Syneta leaft-bettle, a creamy
white, medium sized insect sometimes
having a blackish stripe down the
back, is 'quite common in all fruit
trees, where it feeds on foliage and
blossoms. Lead arsenate sprays will
control it but should be used on stone
fruits only where the pest is unusual

The most successful dairymen are
likeiy to be those who surround their
cows with the most comfortable condi
tions possible, believes R. C. Jones,
associate professor of dairy produc
tion of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. Fancy equipment and surround
ings are not neesscary, but dry quar
ters, shelter from cold winds, good
feed, plenty of water at the right tem
peratures and kind treatment "are essential.
"Oregon is a most favored section
for the dairy industry because of fair
ly constant temperatures which rare
ly are extreme," said Professor Jones.
We have found that the cows are
more affected fay a change in the
tempeaturre of their drinking water
than by the air temperature. A cow
needs approximately four pounds of
water for each pound of milk she produces.
"Feeds may be chemically right, but
if they lack 'palatability , the cow
will not eat enough to do her much
good. The successful feeder regu
lates the amount of feed so that the
cow neither falls off in her milk flow.
nor gains in weight High production
is a result of inherent ability of the
cow as a result of artificial stimula
tion of the natural tendency of the
cow to increase tne mnic now aixer
maternity."
POULTRY FACTS
Sour or buttermilk is the best pos
sible food for the baby chicks. Sweet
milk is all right if it is always kept
sweet, but the changing from Bweet
to sour, off and on is not very satis
factory. There are necessary food
elements found in milk that are not
found in any other food for poultry.
Cream of tartar if given in the
drinking water ever now and then
will successfully help ward off disease
and keeps the blood of the fowls in
the best of condition, says a poultry-man.
Every poultry raiser should make a
study of the. market demands. A uni
form color of eggs and flesh in poul
try is desirable. A mixed flock will
not produce uniform eggs or meat
and eggs from such a flock are not de
sirable for hatching.
four tablespoons of olive oil smoking
hot in a frying pan and to this add
three red pepper minced fine. Have
about one and one-half pounds of lean
beef, the bottom of a ronud will do,
cut in dices and when the onions turn
yellow add the meat gradually, stir
ring ocasionally, so as . to sear it.
After cooking this way 5 to 10 min
utes add a cup of hot water and cov
er and let simmer about two hours,
n a separate kettle heat one or two
cans of kidney beans, mix a table
spoon of flour with water for thicken
ing and before adding pour a large
tablespoon of table sauce ver 'the
meat; be sure to keep enough water
in the mixture to prevent burning
and cook 70 minutes; drain the beans
and add and serve very hot It should
be very peppery.
ASPARAGUS WITH EGGS
Six" hard-boiled eggs, 1 large bunch
asparagus, 3 tablespoons butter, 1-4
teaspoon paprika, 1-8 teaspoon pepper,
1 teaspoon salt-3 dessertspoons flour,
1 1-2 cups asparagus stock, buttered
bread crumbs.
Cut the eggs in halves lengthwise.
Trim and wash asparagus and cut in
inch lengths, discarding the tough
portions for this dish. Use the
stringy tough ends for soup. Cook in
an uncovered pan in slightly salted
boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain
and save the stock.
Butter a baking dish and put half
of the eggs in yolk side up. Add as
paragus and cover with remaining
eggs, yolk side down. Melt butter,
stir in flour and slowly add aspara
gus water. Cook until thick, and
smooth and pour over eggs and as
paragus in baking dish. Cover with
buttered crumbs and bake in a hot
oven for 15 minutes. Serve at once.
WILL BREED OF SOFT HOGS '
RESULT FROM PEANUT FEED?
Is. a soft, oily fat on a hog, produc
ed by feeding peanuts, a characteristic
than can be inherited and that will
persist regardless of the nature of
the ration fed the offspring? That is
one of the interesting questions to be
investigated by the United States De
partment of Agriculture at the exper
iment far mat Beltsville, Md. Both
the bacon and lard types will be
used, the former to be represented at
the start by 4-Tamworth gilts and the
latter by 4 Poland-China gilts.
From weaning time until their first
litters are weaned these 8 gilts will be
grown and fed on a peanut ration.
From the time of weaning their pigs
will be fed on some hardening ration,
such as corn and tankage, and will
be compaerd with a check lot of pigs
whose dams were fed on hardening
feeds instead of peanuts during their
development and gestation periods
When the pigs have been grown out
and finished, some of each lot will be
slaughtered to determine w"hether
there is any difference in the car
casses; that is, if the peanut ration
fed to the mathers has made it more
difficult to put a hard flesh on the off
spring with corn.

In addition to systematic eradica
tion of cattle tuberculosis by the ac
credited herd plan, interest in the
"area plan," as it is called has lately
developed in many States, according
to the report issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture de
scribing progress during March. The
eradication of tuberculosis, under the
comprehensive plan generally inlcudes
a county as a unit and all the cattle
in the county are tested. .The report
shows that in States where the erad
ication work was -concentrated in cer
tain localities in an effort to wipe out
the disease entirely, a great many
more animals were 'tested than in
States where the area plan is not yet
followed to any appreciable extent.
HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS
Mennonites Stress Biblical Stories
Which Other Christians Regard
With Some Lightness.
The advent of the Mennonites to
America came about when William
Penn had been granted land for his
Quaker followers. He was told of
Mennonites who had fled from Ger
many to Holland and his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
In colonizing parts of Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Later, colonies were established In
Saskatchewan and other parts of
Canada
A peculiar custom of these people
Is the washing of feet. They say that
the command of Christ to the woman
to wash His feet stands on the same
spiritual level as His acts of distrib
uting food and drink to the hungry
and thirsty. To the Mennonites the
story related by St. Luke is as impor
tant as the ones other Christians re
gard, including the sacrament and
communion.
Community property is another
Mennonite belief, although it Is not
general. The members of the sect co
operate in building roads, school
houses and churches.
One of the largest migrations of
Christian people of modern history is
that of about 200,000 Mennonites, 50,
000 families, from Canada to Mexico,
which will begin soon. They claim
unjust treatment in Canada during
the World war. The Mennonites re
fuse to enter any war.

member of the State clothing"commit

clothing came to ( one relief station
minus all the buttons not even hooks
and eyes to hold the garments togeth

Deliver bundles early at the local
station or send directly to. Near East

We are now starting to gather ex

either sheep or goats with especially
fine fleece, we would suggest that
they notify the County Agent's office,
in order that a fleece may be selected
to use for exhibit purposes.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS
DESTROYED BY BIRD
The destruction of cherry blossoms,
which has been current in several disr
tricts in Clackamas county, has been
due to the purple finch, according to
the local county agent's office. Com
plaints that a small gray bird had
been destroying the blossoms were
received. Specimens of the bird were
secured and sent to Nathan Fasten
of the departemnt of zoology and phy
siology of the O. A. C. and to Ira N.
Gabrielaon, assistant state biologist
The bird was found to be the Cali
fornia "purple finch, t has never be
fore been known to be a menace, the
experts say.
n Clackamas ocunty. especially in
the Wilsonville section, considerable
damage has resulted. The bird picks
the blossom off the tree by severing
the stem and eats the small fruit
which at this time of the year is
just beginning to develop. The entire
crop of several trees has been ruinel.

There Is one smart Chinaman stay
ing now perforce in northern Mexico
who, but for a slight error, would be

States. Arrested for attempting to en

he tried to palm himself off before the
court, according to United States Com
missioner A. J. W. Schmid at El Paso,
Tex., as an old resident of Seattle. So
well had he been coached in the part
that the federal attorneys could pick
no flaw In his apparent knowledge of
Seattle, names and places. In desper
ation, the prosecution finally asked if
he had ever known Julius Caesar up
there. Yes, the Chinaman had heard
of him often. Did he remember Mark
Antony, and how he acted as state's
witness at the trial of Caesar's mur

HOME MADE CREAM CHEESE
Four gallons milk heated in gran
ite pan to eighty-five degrees; dis
solve one-third rennet tablet in two
tablespoons cold water, put this into
milk and stir until thoroughly mixed;
cover and stand in warm place until
curd becomes firm or about one-half
to three quarters of an hour. Then
cut in squares with a long knife that
will reach the bottom as fast as whey
rises, dip or pour off, cut curd each
time in new place. When curd be
comes solid and squeaks when moved,
it is ready to press and will have
shrunk to one gallon or less. Put in
press, and .after thirty-six hours or
when no more whey will come out, re
move from press and rub well with
salty butter, cut a strip of cloth to
reach around cheese and lap over, cut
round piece for each end, wring these
out of hot water and paste down
smoothly with butter (to exclude the
cheese fly), lay cheese in cold, dry
place to ripen, turn over every day,
rubbing off any mold. Four gallons
milk makes a four-pound cheese. It
may be out in three weeks, when it
will be mild. A one gallon syrup
bucket with the top melted off and
holes punched in the bottom makes a
good press. Salt curd to taste just
before putting in press. This will be
about three tablespoonfuls.
