JERSEY BREEDERS TELL
WHY OREGON IS AT TOP
Good climate and skillful manage
ment are two leading causes of Ore
gon Jersey breeders' achievement in
developing seven of the eight highest
producing Jersey cows in the United
States. So said speakers at the Jer
sey jubilee, just completed by a three
day tour of the Willamette valley.
. "Your phenominal achievement is
of value to the dairy world," said
James T. Jardine, director of the col
lege experiment station in addressing
the breeders. "It could have been ac
complished only by men of vision who
were unwilling to stop near the goal
of a new record, but in the language
of the football man, 'forced the ball
over for a touchdown.' "
The responsibility for maintaining
the great reputation rests, with the
men primarily benefittd by the breed
ing work, the director explained, but
the college also has a share that of
making the tests and vouching - for
the records. This testing, in charge
of the dairy department, has recently
been commended as among the best
in the country.
Responsibility for speeding up in
crease of pure-breds, now only 4.6 per
cent of dairy cattle, and for promo
tion of herd improvement by commun
ity testing and breeding, was also
shared for the college by the director.
Protection from devastating dis
eases of dairy cattle by community
and federal and state cooperation,
rests in part with the college. "Dis
ease is costly," said the director, "and
the station is making valuable contri
butions toward control, best effected
by prevention." i
Training new men and women to
gain vision and information to make
themselves helpful in further develop
ment was accepted as a college responsibility.
MERCURY SOLUTION BATH
BEST POTATO TREATMENT
Treating potatoes before planting
foreskin diseases such as scab, rhiz
octonia, or black scruf is profitable in
Oregon. '
The right treatment kills disease on
the surface of the potatoes. Before
treating potatoes rnu them over a
slat-work sorting table or rack and
discard all tubers which are injured
cut, or show evidence of decay. This
will remove much of the dirt.
The solution extensively used is
four ounces of corrosive sublimate
(mercuric-chloride) to 30 gallons of
water. Most growers soak the dor
mant potatoes in this solution from
one and one-half to two hours before
drying and planting. Potatoes that
have begun sprouting should not be
soaked over one-half to one hour.
In making the solution, the right
amount is carefully weighed out and
may be dissolved in a small quantity
of hot water in a clean wooden or
porcelain container since the solution
corrodes metal and rapidly loses
strength.
' In making up this solution have the
dealer weigh out the mercuric-chlor
ide in small amounts to be dissolved
in a given quantity of water for the
required dilution one part of mercur
ic hcloride to 1000 parts of water by
weight
Mercuric chloride is poisonous and
if potatoes are once treated ,with it
they should never be used for hu
man consumption or for feeding to
animals.
Mercuric chloride is used in pref
erence to other solutions for will con
trol more diseases The solution is
usually not effective after it is used
more than four times. The potatoes
may be soaked in in this solution in
sacks or crates and thoroughly dried
ebfore planting. Care should be tak
en not to reinfect the potatoes by
placing them in , the same bags or
storage places not disinfected.
weeds should be kept cultivated off
below the ground so their leaves will
not reach the light. This method is
cheaper and more certain ' than the
use of chemicals.
Early Crimson Clover Best
Where crimson clover is planted
for green manure crop it should be
up and growing before the dry sea
son sets in. . Late seeded crimson
clover often does not come up till
fall and then it will not be big enough
to plow under by spring.
Maggots Destroy Canes
Cutting out and destroying infected
canes is the only means yet known
for combating the destructive cane
maggot that is 'causing Considerable
damage in j raspberry and loganberry
fields. New tender shoots of these
plants are frequently found with their
tops blighted and drooping in a char
acteristic "limberneck" fashion. A
closer examination of, the injured
cane reveals a bluish girdle just un
der the bark at the base of the blight
ed tip. Cutting into the interior will
often show the sulprit a .small whit
ish maggot within the pith.
POULTRY
FARM REMINDERS
Hogs Need Some Grain
Alfalfa, clover and rape are consid
ered the best pasture plant for hogs.
Pasture alone, however is not a suf
ficient ration to bring the best re
sults in pig feeding. Grain of some
kind should always be fed along with
it. Some feeders prefer to limit the
amount of grain fed to two or three
pounds daily per 100 pounds of hog.
Others prefer the self feeder. Either
system is satisfactory. '
Chemicals Kill Tops Only

Canada thistles, but not the well es
tablished perennial roots. These
By H. E. Cosby, Oregon Agricultural
Extension Specialist
The 40 or 50 or 60 eggs you should
have had, but didn't get, from each of
the birds in your flock are just as
much of a loss as though you had
them all in a basket, the bottom of
which dropped out and let them fall
on a concrete pavement. The' only
difference is that in one case your are
brought faec to face with your loss,
while in the other, since you can not
see it,, you do nothing to prevent its
repetition. You would not be long
about repairing the bottom of that
basket, or. discarding it for a new
one. Why not try something of the
kind on the flock?
There is considerable difference be
tween sprouted oats and germinated
oats. The latter go through a three
day or four-day sprouting process, but
retain" all their feeding value. The
former have sprouts three, or four
inches long and furnish practically
nothing but green feed.,

THE CARE OF CHILDREN'S TEETH
One of the essentials - of happy,
healthy living is good mastication of
food. . This depends in part on the
habit of properly chewing the food,
but this can not take place unless,
first of all, teeth eixst and are in a
proper condition for chewing.
The Investigations of the teeth of
school children show that eight out
of every ten children' have decayed
teeth. This condition is deplorable.
Many of these children suffer from
toothache, absent themselves from
school frequently, and carry on their
work with difficulty. Recent studies
emphasize the relation between decay
ed teeth, rheumatism, chronic joint
diseases, heart disease, and other dis
orders. Often, too, it is found that
permanent teeth, especially the 6
year molars, are missing or are very
crooked in their arrangement, 'making
ugly faces which might otherwise be
beautiful.
From the point of view of health
and personal appearance, the hygiene
of the mouth is one of the most im
portant and persistent of health pro
blems, yet a normally healthy mouth
is possible for every child.
The first step in this educational
campaign is to get children in the
habit of cleaning their teeth regularly
at least twice a day after breakfast
and before retiring at night Dental
floss should be used at least once a
week.
WHY THAT LAME BACK?
That morning lameness-1 those
sharp pains wh!en bending or lifting,
make work a (burden and rest impossi
ble. Don't be handicapped by a bad
back look to your kidneys. You will
make no mistake by following this
Oregon City resident's example.
. Mrs. S.' J. Owenby, 306 - 18th St.,
says: "I recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone having kidney or blad
der trouble. I suffered with kidney
trouble and my back was so weak and
lame I felt miserable. Inflammation
of the bladder caused me - a lot of
suffering and my kidneys acted free
ly and were painful. Doan's Kidney
Pills were jiist what I needed as they
helped me by relieving the inflamma
tion of the bladder and strengthened
my back." ,
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get

Fog Frequently So Thick, That the
Strongest Artificial Light
Cannot Pierce It'
The worst fog in 20 years was ex
perienced in London when 900,000
tons of soot were suspended in the at
mosphere in which 7,000,000 people at
tempted to live, work, and worst of
all, to get about, a short time ago.
The possibility of reaching one's
destination was ascertained" only by
the laws of probability and chance.
Fire engines called by duty went
through the pitch-black streets pre
ceded by a man on foot with a lan
tern. Busses adopted the lesson of the
wagon trains that crossed the Western
plains during the gold rush and trav

by a man on foot with a light The
busy traffic centers were marked by
from four to ten huge acetylene
torches which pierced the surround
ing darkness for not more than fifteen
feet. Accidents were Innumerable.
Prince Henry attempted Jo motor from
London to Whittlebury for a hunting
engagement, and after ' narrowly es
caping two collisions then decided to
spend the night at a halfway house.
A freakish incident occurred when
