PRUNE. DRYING IS AIDED
THROUGH MULTIVANE FANS
Oregon farmers are ins tailing mul
tivane fans to recirculate air in their
prune driers under the direction of the
horticultural products section of the
Oregon Agricultural College Experi
ment station.
"The fans will mean a lot to prune
driers in Oregon", says Prof. Ernest H.
Wiegand, under -whose direction work
has been done on the problem of using
multivane fans to recirculate air. "The
fate of circulation will be quadrupled.
The air may be used over and over
again, thus bringing about a saving in
fuel."
The Eugene Fruit Growers Associ
ation has this system and is installing
two large fans in a new type of dryer
recommended by the experiment sta
tion. This drier will be the first of Its
kind to be installed in Oregon and wfll
have a capacity of 10 to 12 tons in 2i
hours. Air will be passed over QTe
fruit at the rate of 7Q0 lineal feet a
minute.
Others installing fans Include C. E.
Widner and Rudolph Ingerly of -Albany,
Jess Nichols of Irving, Dr.
Scarborough of Creswell, L. M. Miller
of Eugene, H. E. Hecker of Dillard and
C. T. Krogel of Roseburg.
These men will double the capacity
of their driers by using the fans, ac
cording to Professor Wiegand, and
will also increase the quality of their
product by Towering the temperature.
The horticultural products section of
the experiment station is offering to
assist farmers who wish to install
fans by giving them information they
should have, thus the; right arrange
ment of construction can be made and
the right kind of fan installed it is
pointed out. . " .
RURAL SERVICE CONTEST
CREATES MUCH INTEREST

LEAD IN COW TESTING"
." Oregon cow -testing association lead
all cow testing associations in the
Western States for butter fat produc
tion during the month of May, it is an
nounced by Professor : B. Fitts of the
college extension service. The 3460
cows tested in this state gave an aver
age yield of 41.tf pounds of butter Eat
per cow for the month, or 1.34 pounds
daily. In the .tate the Tillamook
association led all the others with 2442
cows tested, with an average butter
TsX yield of 44.42 pounds.

Three Oregon associations. Smith,
Umpqua, Columbia and Clatsup, are
now in the, 100 per cent pure bred bull
class, according jto the college's records.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
SELECTING DAIRY HEIFER
A great amount of information can
be Obtained from a study of the head
of the heifer calf. - The head is an
excellent index to the, breeding, qual
ity and value of the animal, The eye
should be large, bright, clear, indi
cating good health; the face should
,be medium in length, free from flesh
iness, showing an expression which
the true dairyman cannot retrain from
calling "sweet"; the nostrils large and
well dilated to allow for the, entrance
of plenty of air; the muzzle large and
broad, indicating a good feeder, and
the jaw should toe strong.
The constitution can be judged ih
part by standing in front of the heifer
calf. We do not. like a calf that Btands
with the front leggs close, together.

Spray for Codling Moth
A protective poison spray should be

was serious last year as adult codling
moths are continuing to appear in
limited numbers and eggs are being de
posited. Because of limited numbers
of moths appearing if the worms were
scarce in the orchards last year, it is
possible to keep down infection suf
ficiently by delaying the thinning pro
cess somewhat and then paying espec
ial care to thinning out the wormy

POULTRY POINTERS
By H.- E. Casby, ExtensionPguJtry
Specialist
"Paratabs. The New Scientific Lice
and Mite Remedy" referred to in last
month's report was given atwo""wees
trial. The lice on the. hens evidently
suffered no ill effects because they evf
dently were ALL present, alive, heal
thy and happy at the end of two weeEs.
Another experiment will be conducted
and results reported through these
pages.
We have secured splendid, results in
crate fattening broilers by using 60
per cent corn meal and 40 per cent
shorts mixed with enougE Buttermilk
to give the whole volume the consist
ency of porridge. The .Birds are led
three, times a day just what tneyjwiH
eat in 20-mlnute periods. The remain
der, If any, is taken from the leetHfig
trough. It is usually not adVisatole tS
crate fatten longer than 12 to 14 days.
A ration of 60 per cent corn meal, 33
tier cent shorts and 5 per cent fish
meal or beef scrap, mixed and fed as
above recommended, also has given
good results.
The Time to Buy
Is when others are not buying
when money ia rather close
and prices are low.
When spring opens there Is;
always a buyers' rush, and
prices always follow demand.

When 'production starts to slump,
look ov.e,r the flock carefully for dry
shriveled combs, yellow ear lobes and
beaks. It will usually pay, after an ex
amination, to dispose of such hens at
this time of the year. A palatable
moist mash may be fed daily with
slightly increased amounts as the sea
son advances. The proper feeding of a
moist mash will usually result in pro
longing tile, period of high average egg
production.
GOOD CURE WILL
STOP HAY FIRES
Heating Process Begins as Fer
- mentation Produced by
Growth of Bacteria.
NOT MYSTERIOUS TO CHEMIST
Danger, of Spontaneous Combustion
Must Be Anticipated Before
Feed Is Stored Moisture '
Is Controlling Factor.
The risk of fire from spontaneous
combustion in mows and stacks may
be done away with almost entirely if
hay is put up only when properly
cured, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture. To the
chemist and bacteriologist there Is
nothing mysterious about these fires.
The heating process begins as a fer
mentation produced by' the growth of
bacteria in moist hay. When condi
tions are right the temperature mounts
until the organisms that started the
process are killed; from then on the
heating is the result of chemical ac
tion a slow oxidation when it . is
away from contact with the air and a
rapid oxidation, or fire, when the heat
ing area breaks through to the open
air.
When one of these fires breaks out
there may be time to save the live
stock, unless it occurs without warn
ing in the night, but there is"" small
chance of saving the structure and
the feed stored In it The danger of
spontaneous combustion must ' be an
ticipated before the feed Is stored.
Most farmers know when hay is cured
properly, but because of threatening
weather or for some other reason
some men compromise and put in feed
that still contains too much moisture,
sometimes giving themselves a false
sense of security by scattering salt
in the mow or stack. Moisture Is the
controlling factor, whether it Is rain
that has fallen on the cut hay or wa
ter within the stems makes no differ
ence. If the moisture content is low
enough the hay will not heat to the
danger point.
Alfalfa a T rouble-Maker.
Alfalfa and clover and other hays
made from rather succulent plants
cause the most trouble from heat
ing, and' they should be given par
ticular care in curing. In some parts
of the country where rains are fre
dfuent at haying time It is hard to
get hay Into ideal condition. Some
farmers cure it in cocks and use can
vas caps, but this Is expensive In time
and materials. In humid regions the
danger from spontaneous combustion
In mows and stacks may be lessened
by the use of a box-like ventilator,
a skeleton tube 12 to 16 Inches square
and of any length desired, depending
upon the size of the mow or stack.
The corners are 2 by 4 Inches and the
crosspieces 1 by 3 inches placed close
enough together to keep the hay. from
falling through and blocking the air
.passage. Diagonal braces are placed
in the box at Intervals to keep It
from collapsing under- the welght of
the hay. These ventilators are usual
ly placed across the mow at Intervals
of 7 or 8 feet.
In some localities curing frames or
tripods are used to hasten curing.
They keep the hay loose and up off the
ground so that the air may circulate
freely through it
Stirring Is Worst Thing.
When a mow or stack has become
badly haated there Is a strong tempta
tion to go In and stir up the hay,
but often this Is the worst thing that
can be done. Admitting air to .the
hot . center of fermentation may be
just the thing needed to start a fire.
If air does not get In a part of the hay
may be charred without starting a
fire; gradually the mow cools and the
only loss is the hay that has been car
bonized. However, In the early stages
when the hay is heating It is some
times advisable fo move hay from one
mow to another or to restack. But be
sure it is not too hot. ,
Slow combustion inside the mow can
be defected by a peculiar sooty odor
or by smoke that is irritating to the
eyes. .
Danger of spontaneous combustion
is not confined to hay. , It may occur
In damp fodder and straw, as well
as in bins of moist grain and seeds.

GOOD POULTRY SUGGESTIONS
Of
Great Importance That Feeding
Utensils Be Kept Absolutely
Clean Other Hints.
, "Watch the feeding utensils" Is a
suggestion of more importance than
most poultry .raisers realize. The
water basins are of great Importance,
because many contagious diseases
may be spread through the drinking
water. Wash and scald all water ba
sins once a week. Each morning
when filling the water basins empty
all the old water out and rinse the
basins before refilling. Place the
basins well off the ground so that the
birds will not scratch straw and dirt
Into the water. Locate the food hop
pers so that. .they will be perfectly
dry at all times.
Other Important suggestions as to
good sanitation are : ' .
1. Be sure that the birds have
plenty of fresh air.
2. Sunlight is a good germicide.
3. Clean yards are essential to good
health.
